ABERDEE N.-DEMMER 3. We have had a most tremendois easterly storm, which has been attended with some melancholy losses of shipping . . About midnight on Friday the gale came on from S.E. to E.S.E., cnntinuing with extreme violence all night, and w ith little abatement during Sanirday., The sea raised in consequence was tremendous ; two vessels got into this harbour on Saturday forenoon, one of them after a most miraculous escape. This vessel, a fine smack, the Rot terdam packet, with a valuable cargo from Rotterdam, and standing for the harbour, was struck ley a- mountainous sea, which broke over her and laid her on her beam end!, flying nearly mast high. The crew, who had by this time taken to the rigging, with the exception of two men lashed to the helm, were nearly swept away by the overwhelming, waves, which split the try-sail and jib to a thousand pieces, carrying away the fore-sheet, by which the fore-sail being loose, the pressure of the sails was removed, and the vessel providentially righted again. The disabled appearance, however, which she now presented, with the tattered shreds' of the sails flying about her, left scarce a ray of hope as to the safety of the vessel and her seemingly hapless crew. After sometime, however, when the dreadful waves with which the vessel was surrounded threatened momen tarily to engulph her, the fore-sail was observed to be set again, and with it, after a considerable time, she gained the harbour, to the inexpressible joy of the crowds of specta tors who witnessed this awful and most interesting scene. The like good fortune did not attend the attempt of another vessel to reach our harbour, as she foundered, with all on board, when about two miles to leeward of the river Don. Before the vessel disappeared she was observed to be a brig, and from part of the boat and other wreck washed ashore, about 11 o'clock, a.m., on Saturday, near the pre ventive station, at Don, she proved to be the Friendship, Robert Ross, a brig about five keels, of and from Sunder land, for the Moray Firth, with coals. The came morning a smack was stranded en the sands of Forvie, and by the boat which was washed ashore, it was found to be the Albion, of Peterhead, said to have a ,valuable cargo from London. tour men were seen for a considei : able time on the rigging, but they were swept off by the heavy seas which broke over the vessel, and three of the bodies have been found and carried to Peterhead for interment. A vessel was totally wrecked near Bervie, as in the two former cases, with the painful addition of-the loss of all on board., From part of the wreck cast 'ashore, the unfortu- . nate vessel appeared to be the Sisters, of Limekiln*. AMERICAN MANNERS. The following curious narrative appears in the American Papers. One of the actors in it, it will be observed, is General Jackson, the candidate fur the Presidency, who, at the lastelection, united more voices of the people in his favour than any other.* This, we adroit, is not General Jackson's own account of the matter, and some provoca tion had no doubt bten given ; but, making every allow ance; unless the whole be an absolute fiction, it gives an extraordinary idea of the savageness of the South Western Etates : FraaNK - LIN (Teals.), SEPT. 10, 1813.—A difference, which had been for some mouths brewing between Gen. Jackson and myself, produced on the 4th instant, in the town of Nashville, the most outrageous affray ever wit nessed in a civilized country. In communicating the affair to my friends and fellow-citizens, I limit myself to the statement of a few leading facts, the truth of which am ready to establish by judicial proofs. 1. That myself and my brother, Jesse Benton, arriv ing in Nashville on the morning of the affray, and know ing of General Jackson's threats, went and took lodgings in a d&rent house from the one in which he stayed, on purpose to avoid him. .2. That the General and some of his friends came to the home where we had put up, and commenced the attack by levelling a Pistol at me, when I had no weapon drawn, and advancing on me at a quick pace; without giving me time to draw one. S. That seeing this, my brother fired upon General Jack son, when he had got within eight or ten feet of me. 4. that four other pistols were tired in quick succes sion ; cite by General Jackson. at me; two by me at the General ; and one by Colonel Coffee at me. In the course Of this firing general Jackson was brought to the ground ;* but received no hurt. 5. That daggers were then drawn. Colonel Coffee and Mr.. Meander Donaldson made at me, and gave me five slight wounds. Captain Hammond and Mr. Stoketey Hays engaged my brother, who being still weak from the effect of a severe wound he had lately re ceived in a duel, was not able to, resist two men. They got hira,down, and while : Captain Harnumeal beat him on the head to make him lie still, Mr. Hays attempted to stab Men, and wounded him in both arms as he lay on his back parrying the thrusts with his naked .hands. From this situation a generous-hearted citizen of Nashville, Mr. Summer, relieVed him. Before he came to the ground any brother clapped a pistol to the breast of Mr. Hays, to ble . w'hiin through, hut it missed fire.; 6. My own and my brother's pistols carried two balls each ;• for it was our intention, if driven to arms, to have no child's-pky. . The pistols firedint me were so near, that the blaze of the muzzle of one of them ,burnt,the sleeve of my coat, and the other aimed at my bead was little more than arms' length from it. 7. Capt. Carroll was to have taken part in the affray, Dirt ,aeas absent by the permission 'of Gen. Jackson, as he h a d p re teed by the General's certificate, a certificate : which .reflects J know not whether less honour upon the General or upon the Captaie. i. That this attack was made upon me in (be house where the Judge of the district, Mr. Searcy, had his lodgings ! nor has the civil authority yet taken 'cognisance • of this horrible -outrage. These fade are sufficient to fir public opinion. For my own part, I think it scandalous that smelt things should take plat.* at any time ; but particularly so at the present moment, when the public service requires the aid of all its citizens. As for the name of courage, God forbid that I should ever attempt to gain it by becoming a bully. Those who know me, know, full well that I would give a thou sand times more for the reputation of Croghati in &feuding his post, than I would for the reputation of all duellists and gladiators tat ever appeared u MpAS on the face of the earth.

Captain Bertin, of the Mackabee brig, writes, under a late date, that he is not treated harshly, and that the Sardinian Consul_ distributes relief to the Captains, Officers, and sailors, on account of the French Government." -An - Agent of the Royal Council of the Spanish Indies, who . arrived at the fiavannah on board a French vessel, left it again on the 18th of October, in a Spanish frigate, which had a million of piastres on board. A French frigate, recently arrived, volunteered at the same time, to escort this ship, and defend it against the Colombian privateers, which are very numerous in those seas, and greatly injure the Spanish trade. .•. On the other hand, the coasts of Rio Janeiro and Bahia are infested by Buenos Ayres cruizers, a single one of which captured 16 vessels in three days, which have been sent to La Plata. This privateer is said to have on board above 200,000 reis, taken in his prizes. The ALnitettr, fills three pages with the list of the newly elected Deputies..

(From the Gazette de France, of Dec. 5.) VIENNA, Nov. 25.—(Private Correspondence.)—Our Ministry after having received the news of the battle of Navarin, addressed a Note to the Allied Powers, in which it declares that whatever May happen at Constantinople, Austria is determined not to depart from its system of neutrality. Hopes are still entertained of an arrangement by the in tervention of the Austrian Internuncio, especially since it has been known that Prince Metternich has received an autograph letter from the Grand Vizier (probably written before the catastrophe at Navarin was known at Constan tinople), in which that Minister exprmed a wish that Austria might become a mediator between the Porte and the Three Powers. Bank shares, Nov. 25, 10t0.—Metalliques not quoted. • (From the ConsOtntionnel of Monday.) • . Pans, DEC. 4.—ln spire of the eagerness of the Ministry to yield before every emergency, it is not probable it will consent to Sacrifice the honoUr of France to the pride of the Sultan ; and if it did so, England and Russia would not. War is then declared between the Porte and the Allied Powers. This is all which has been gained 'by so many humiliations and a shamefid abandonment of a sacred muse Siich has always been the miserable policy of M. de.Villele, never to look difficulties in the face, and to think he triumphed over'thern by denying or deferring them for a day. We find in the Precurseur de Lyon several proofs of the independent feelings which actuate the people of France with respect to - the Elections. An innkeeper, who had supplied a considerable number of post horses for the con 'tveyance of Electors to the place of election, refused to accept payment, knowing that every one at such a season ought to contribute something to the cause of liberty. In a small village near Lyons, a Justice of the Peace, imagining that a certain person of liberal principles was disposed to exert some influence on the Elections, required payment of it debt of 600 f. due to himself. Another person hearing of the demand, immediately discharged the debt. • An innkeeper at Lyons hearing some young men inquiring after a vehicle of some, sort to go to the Elections, imme diately lent them one of his own, and procured them a horse, although it was then eleven at night. The next day they offered to pay for the use of the vehicle, but the innkeeper refused to accept anything, stating that he was glad to be thus able to serve the public. Several persons in the most infirm state of health have bad themselves carried to the places of election. Since the war declared against the Dey of Algiers, several French vessels have been captured by the pirates, and their crews made slaves. The Ministerial Gazettes state eon-, tinually that there are numerous vessels of war cruising in tbe Mediterranean, and yet none of the Algerine vessels have been taken. Very lately an Algerine corsair came before Almeria to demand a vessel it bad taken on the pre ceding day. All the convoy which fifteen or twenty mer chant vessels can obtain, is frequently only a brig or cor vette. The security of commerce requires that stations of convoy should be formed, not only for merchant vessels wile are going to Spain, Italy, and the Levant, but also for those who are going to Marseilles and Toulon.

A combat has taken place in the neighbourhood of Demit zans, between a body of the Pacha's troops and Coliopoulo, in which it is said the Turks lost 700 men. The news of the destruction of the Turco-Egyptian fleet caused the greatest delight at the Catholic island of Syra. (From the Journal des Debais of Tuesday.) PARIS; DEC. 4.—We are now on the eve of the most important events. in the East. The storm, increased by thee faults of five years, is on the point of bursting forth— the time ,for allaying it by an open policy is past. The Cabinets of Europe desired too late the liberty of Greece; Greece will be free, but its chains in falling will shake Eu rope. The glorious - battle at Navarin has produced at Constantinople the effect which plain good sense dictated. The Porte has considered it as a declaration of. war : its language, haughty as it may appear, was the only one which could be adopted. The sultan, weak before the Christian Diplomatists, after the burning of his vessels, was not sufficiently powerful before his subjects. Shall we describe the conduct of our sailors on the 20th October as a crime? No; far be such a thought front its; they have dose their duty. France has only reeog nized herself there for the feet three years. Let us only complain 'of the candour. of those who thought they could send vessels of war to assist quietly in negotiations, which the Porte had been allowed to consider as without any object, as they were, in fact, so long without openness and sincerity. Is the Porte considered simple enough not to have di vined what elitt'ereut interests pushed the three signing Powers of the Treaty of London to an agreement, so long sought, and ahvitys . flying before the timid piilicY of their Cabinets ? If it had not seen through that mystery, what was the Austrian Interntmcio doing at Constantinople?— Have we not Beard his language to the Reis Effendi? Let us add to that the evident insinuations of Austria as to the probability of its defensive alliance, in case of a rupture with the Three Powers ; its promises, true or false, of an active co-operation; the hope of breaking, by a hostile beat ;fig, an alliance formed with the sole hope of prevent ing a wars and let us judge whether the answers of tV i i .Porte to - the Ambassadors might not have been foreseen from thi n . „list moment,. if the breaking off the negotiations at Constautitiople was not calculated to be the first conse quence of the nerve which drew from the almost contrite . Moniteur " All is conelUded in the Beet." yes—all might have been concluded - in the East, if, in stead of being • towed along by the public" opinion in the questiOn 'of Greece, the Ministry had adopted a uniform and determined language - towards the Porte ; if the pro ,ceedings with the Divan hail h e ad that character .of open ness and good faith which. would no;, even have allowed Turks to stotibt of their results ; if,,in a word, it had no t waited to threoteu ,eintil the Porte had good reason to be lieve in threats. We said a short time ago, that the epoch of Notes is passed, and that of cannon come. The declaration of the Divan of the 10th of November no longer permits any doubt as to the end a the business. The Ambassadors have already quitted the Ottoman capital, and nobody but the Austrian Internuncio seeks to connect again the threads of a negociatiou, which it will be impossible to renew. Austria would be afraid of her own work. In England the liberation of Greece has never been suf ficiently popular to exclude other interests from view, which give to the question a great complexity for our neighbours. Greece free, and a maritime power, would in time acquire a monopoly of that trade which England has hitherto had without a rival. The aggrandisement of Russia, and the probable fall of the Ottoman empire, are circumetances . which the Treaty of London was to provide for, and which its execution, makes problematical. Its first results will supply arms against the new Ministry. In vain will the great man be sought for in Pailinient who would have supported by his eloquence the system which will be vigo rously att4elN., May his successors defend his ,work— and we are c,idideut they will—and resist her political ene roles, whose triumph would be e cause of sorrow fir civi lised En . ropg. Since the battle of Navarin the British flap; hae.been engaged in the question ; and if the kiss of the ex clusive commerce pftl?Mediterranean is unpopular irrEog land, it would be too lunch to Check the publicasPinion by denying a naval victory. At l'etersburgh, the news of the rupture of the negotia tions will he received with as much joy, as the news of the battle of Navarin. Of all the Cabinets of Europe it will be the least astonished. By its long patience in preventing w a r, it has taken away front the other Cabinets the right of complaining of the march of its armies. It kept its sol- LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER . 7, 1827. Despatches were this morning received at the Admiralty from Vice-Admiral Sir EIMARD C,ODRINGTON, dated on board his Majesty's ship Asia, in Malta harbour, on the Bth ult. . . The Albion and Genoa were also lying there. We understand that the whole fleet left NaVarin without a gun being fired at them. The Rus sian squadron, duffing the action, had two officers and 58 men killed, and about 120 wounded. The wounded of our cw,ll squadron were generally doing remarkably well. By private letters, which have reached us by this oppoitunity; we learn that proof of the most positive nature had been afforded of the hostile -determination of, IBRAHIM PAdHA against the Allied Squadrons prior to the action. His plan was to have remained quiet during the day; and at night to have attempted the destruction of our fleet by means of his fire-ships ; his intention was defeated by the conduct of the crew of one of those fire-ships having commenced the firing, which brought on the general engagement, and so infuriated , was IBRAHIM by. this circumstance, which led to the catastrophe, that he put to death every man belonging to the Vessel in question. His raae is stated to-have been unbounded, as he had confidently expected to have succeeded in his premeditated night attack on the Allied Squa drons. This intention on his part being ascer tained, no question will remain of the propriety of the proceedings of the Allied Commanders, and no regret felt at the signal vvigeance with which they visited the perfidy of the Egyptian Pacha. We received this morning, by express, the Gazette de France, dated yesterday morning. Its contents are highly important, inasmuch as that they communicate to us the fact of the Ambassadors of the Allied Powers being still at Constantinople on the 11th ult., notwithstand•• ing the accounts which had previously reached this country through Frankfurt of their arrival at HermanstAdt. According to the present Account, the Ambassadors had not applied for their passports on the 11th, as they were waiting for the answer to a note sent by them on the 9th to the Divan. Count GUILLEMINOT was to have an interview with the ltErs EFTENDI on the 12th, and it was expected that the Am bassadors would remain till the lfith, as they had given the PORTE seven days further time for its final determination to be made. The French Funds rose considerably on this news, and according to a manuscript note which accompanied the express, left 'off at 68f. 35c. The following are extracts from the Gazette de France of Thursday PARIS, Dec. s .—Accouuts from Constantinople dated the Ilth November, at four in the afternoon, announce that the Ambassadors have not quitted that city, that they have not asked for their passports, and that Count Guilleminot was to have an interview with the Reis Effendi the next. day. The Ambassadors also expected the answer to a•Note which they had transmitted to the Divan on the 9th. The tranquillity of Constantinople had not been interrupted." The Avgskurgh Gazette says, that the Ambassadors assiat. Were to remain till the 16th, having given the Porte sever, days to accept the intervention. LIES OF THE DAY.

We recommend our readers to peruse an article taken from the Journal des Debats, on the affairs of the East, which is pro bably from the pen of M. CHATEAUVRIAND. We received this morning the Allgemeine Zeitung of the 30th November, which contains some news from Constantinople, but only to the '9th, b e ing two days older than that of the Gazette de France. The tenor of thg news is warlike, but not entitled to much credit. In fact, all the unfavourable news respecting Turkey came through Vienna, and is therefore to be received with caution : vunorA, Nov. 25.

The deliberations of the Divan are not yet terminated. The decision, however, is to be made to-morrow, and the Hatti Scheriff of the Sultan will appear. According to all that we hear it will contain a declaration of war. The attempted intervention of the Austrian Internuneio has proved fruitless, and all communication is wholly broken off between the Reis'Effendi and the three Ambas sadors, who are preparing for their departure. A suppressed fermentation prevails among the Turks, and consternation among the Christians. The latter are looking with apprehension for further orders for reprisals. TRIESTE, NOT. 2S. Letters from Odessa, of the 9th, report that a Russian Captain had arrived there in four days from Constantinople, who had succeeded, under cover of the night, in cutting his cables, and thus escaping from the embargo kid upon ships in the harbour of that city. When the Porte re ceived news of the battle of Navarin, the firmans were with drawn from all French, English, and Russian ships, and they were obliged to remain at Constantinople. By a ship, which has arrived here in eight days from Corfu, we learn that the squadrons of the Allied Powers had left Nayarit', and are gone to Corfu, Zante, and Malta, to repair. One letter adds, what is not very probable, that they took away three captured Turkish ships of war. The fortifications of the harbour of Navarin are said to be in very bad condition. The report of the massacre of the Franks at Patras is not confirmed. Brussels Papers of the sth instant, received this morning, contain some accounts from Ba tavia favourable to the Dutch arms, but the fact of the rebels being able to contend with them so long is indicative of great force, and greater con fidence in their own resources and the weakness of their opponents : ,pLUSSXLS, MC. 1. The ship Tasman, which has arri r yed at Auistertiant frow Batavia, has brought the:Journals of that city to 6e lith of August. From two reports of the Lieutenant-Governor General, addres6et l , to, his E xce ll ency , th e. C omm i ss i oner -G enera l , dated Socratarta, the 19th and 23d July, we find that the rebels continuelo attack tie military post at Passar Gede, which is extremely important for the communication with Djocjocarta. Col. Cochius being informed o f their design to renew their attack on the 16th July, proceeded the day before with his column to the vicinity of Passa Gede. The enemy advanced in their columns, the largest of which was of about 2,000 men, mostly armed with muskets. The arrarigemeutft of the Colonel were made with a If 1 UNV prevent the columns to join again, after he had cnuipelled the first to retreat, in whish ha entirely succeeded. In many points the action was pretty warm, and the rebels, in retreating, several times took new positions ; bat fresh charges of the cavalry, and discharges of the artillery, at length obliged them to give way. According to the latest accounts, the loss of the enemy is seven Chiefs and 61 men, while our troops had only four wounded. On the same slay the rebels attacked two posts near Djosiocarta, and even penetrated to the Chinese camp ; but Capt. Rajer, who commanded there, soon put them to flight. Another band of some hundred men appeared be tween Bantollan and Krapiak, hut was repulsed by the Colonel of the troops of Sultan Wiero Negoro. The Sultan of Djocjocarta arrived nn the 18th July at Socracarta, coming from Sumanap, and intended' shortly to go to Djocjocarta. In the report of the 25d of July, the Lieutenant-General gives an account of fresh attacks made by the rebels in the position of - Passer Gede: one of the most violent was on the 19th of July. Major Eeremboult de Dud Zeele, his officers, and troops, had' a new opportunity to signalise their valour. The enemy being stopped at,all points, and charged with impetuosity, retreated ; but then a column of about 600 rebels approached.the road to Djocjocarta. It, however, met with a brave resistance from the troops of the Pangerang Noto Proetjo, supported by some infantry, under the command of Captain Van Holstein and Lieut. de l'Euw. The force of the enemy o n the occasion amounted to about 5,000, of whom 300 were killed or wounded. Lieutenant-Governor-General de Kock, seeing the perti nacity of the enemy, notwithstanding their losses in every action, to establish themselves in a position near Djocjo earta, had resolved to form a column of troops, to place himself at the head of it, and, accompanied by his staff, to proceed in person to the spot. BaussEr.s, DEC. 4. The Count de Celles has set out to return to :Rome, and his mission is supposed to hasten the nomination of the Bishops, which, for , this time, is to be made by the Pope, According to the treaty. It is believed that this important affair will be concluded by the end of February. Te Deum has been performed in all the churches of this city for the happy conclusion of the Concordat. We congratulate the public upon the prospect Of a speedy termination to the disgraceful system which has recently been carried to such an alarm ing extremity—the robbery of property, and the impunity guaranteed to the robbers by the pas sive agency of the parties robbed, in coming to terms for the restoration of the booty. Were such course tolerated, the profession of the thieves would become not only lucrative, but respectable, and be courted by all whose love for enterprise predominated over their fear of danger, for it cannot be doubted that pleasure is always most alluring on the precipice of destruc tion. Novelty is always charming, and what can be more charming than a life full of strange adven; tures and hair-breadth 'stapes, while gas and midnight contend for mastery ? But to be serious—tile system of burglary has lately be come so extrav aga ntly daring, that its very excess must eventually work its annihilation. The barefaced compromise for the Bank note robbery, toge ther with that f or th e burglary in the watchmaker's shop, have ex cited the attention of Lord LANsnowNE and Mr. PHILLIPS, who are now instituting the most rigid scrutiny into the system of our Police Establishments. We have repeatedly called the public attention to the drowsy state of our nightly Police, as one, if not the principal, cause of the frequency of burglaries, robberies, thefts, and, in short, the prevalence of every species of crime which loves the dark. It is idle to hope that men will be honest for nothing—,that they will keep watch over premises devoted to plunder, against such powerful temptation as the thieves urge on their poverty. Then as to the daily polive— they who shake hands with the' flash men that they may recognize them better at an awkward moment—why they are not much better _for their honesty than the watchmen. Their pay for a quarter, is not sufficient to purchase the watch . and bunch of seals so gallantly displayed to thd anxious gaze of the knowing ones;—far less is their pay sufficient to support a family comfort. ably, and many of them maintain their families , very respectably. We do not question the honesty of these men, but that there is something radically wrong in. the system is beyond doubt, as its effects too well testify.— We know that suspicion often hangs upon the conduct of Police Officers ; but the Magistrates, who know the character, of the men better than their accusers, are rather deaf to complaints probably because they originate in interested quarters. But we , think, even if complaints were groundless, that it would be better to sub mit the conduct of the accused to scrutiny, as the practice would be doubly , beneficial by keeping the officer in check, and inspiring confidence in the public that their complaints would at least be heard. Nothing tends so much to insure honesty as the certain know ledge that misconduct will be exposed and chas tised. We again congratulate the public that the subject has been taken up in the proper quarter ; and we may safely rely upon the abilities, expe rience, and determination, of those at the head of the Home Department being applied to a speedy correction of the evil, and general improvement of the whole Police system, which had become the contempt of thieves, and, the disgrace of the Metropolis. - - SHIPPING INTHLLMBNCE—cruis DAY.

The contradictory accounts which have been re ceived from Paris and Vienna appear most extraor dinary, both give intelligence of the 11th of Nov., from Constantinople, and yet their news is any thing but agreeing in substance.

WINDMILL !----0.11 fr i°l3 6: ol ; windmill, on the estate of HENRY, POR.TER, Esq• fr ° ,l soy, was carried away, by the violence of the wt,cil the eminence on which it was situated, to a di ''":" t A "I thirty feet ! The miller (named JOSEPH Luke) .0-3- ee jj ei r mill at the time, and was carried off with it, hot c r „ari r no injury, a except f few slight Taunto tiers four years inactive ; with the Treaty of London in its hands, it will brave the alarms of Europe, or at least leave them without a pretext for overt acts. But the surprise of Foreign Cabinets is a poor basis for the repose of the world. They are united by engagements which necessarily compelled them to sign. What germs of discord! When. Greece shall be free, where will the , common enemy be? The Government laughed at the phi lanthropy of these people, and did not embrace their gene rous thoughts in time. The Porte, judging the nations of Europe by the diplomatists of Pera, has thought that their slow proceedings were only pity over the tomb of Greece, and perhaps the fruit of their cold and unskilful policy will cause more victims in Europe than it has cost to Greece. , This is not what Austria wanted. But why should she attain her object? An alliance with executioners must be expiated sooner or later. Italy is too newly brought un der the yoke to allow the Austrian eagle to fly to the as sistance of Turkey. The resources of the Hereditary States will be of little weight in such a contest. War is possible among the other nations; but Austria knows well that it is not at present in the power of any free Go vernment to send troops to assist the Crescent. It has been difficult enough to prevent the people from going to the assistance of the Greeks. We 'should like to tarn with hope to the leader of our Councils in this crisis. A melancholy sentiment op presses us when we reflect, that the first news of these important events found the Ministers, though certain of leaving power, still balancing and not sensible that at present. France requires other organs than a Cabi►.et doomed to destruction. Let them look what they have done, and resign to other hands a weight they cannot support.
