FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. INTELLIGENCE FROM WALLACHIA. JULY 10.—Letters worthy of credit, dated Bucharest, 20th and 21st June, contain the following particulars: " A letter from the Greek camp has been received here, addressed by the insurgents to the Turkish Governor, in "which they beg for an amnesty, and declare them selves ready in case it should be granted, to re turn to obedience, from which they have been led astray by Ypsilanti's delusive intrigues and se ducing promises."—The Kiaja of the Pacha im mediately gave orders to have proclamation every where made, that the amnesty required should be given to all insurgents who lay down their arms and return to obedience. The Kaimacan of the ITospodar is employed in the appointment of the chiefs of districts, several of whom have already repaired to their respective posts, in order to do what is possible to restore order in the depopulated and desolated villages. A deputy has also been sent to the Boyers, who are now at Cronstadt, in Transylvania, inviting them, in the name of the government, to return to their homes. The same letters paint the situation of the pro vince in the most gloomy colours. " Difficult as it may be (says one of these letters) to form at the first moment an estimate, founded on a solid basis, of the destruction that has taken place, it may be affirmed, that fifty millions of piastres is too low a .calculation of the loss occasioned to the proprietors, especially to the class of small land-holders; first, by the insurrection of the Pandour Chief, Theodore, then by the appearance of the corps of lletaerists,and lastly by the advance of the Turkish army. Among the losses we must reckon not merely the wasted stores, the plundered and ruined buildings, the pecuniary exactions which the lead ers of the undisciplined bands of insurgents, and almost every individual insurgent allowed himself to practise ; but the loss of the whole of this year's harvest, because the farmers fled from their homes at the beginning of the revolution, and did not sow their fields, and the winter corn sowed in au tumn now rots on the ground, because there are no reapers. Wallachia, formerly so rich, will not recover in twenty years from the sufferings which have been brought upon this province, by an ill judged enterprise, hazarded without knowledge of the people, and of the local relations; an enterprise to which the great mass of the people has remained alien, and which could not terminate in any case but with the destruction of all property, either by the revolution and intestine war, or by the conse quences of a war with neighbouring powers, the theatre of which must inevitably be on the left bank of the Danube. Hitherto no complaints can be made against the commanders of the Turkish army; they act with great moderation ; but the army it self is composed of such heterogeneous parts, and the soldiers of whom it chiefly consists are so little under controul, that its appearance is every where attended with unavoidable desolation. In the midst of the contest stands the poor farmer, to whom the whole affair was foreign in its origin, and who considered the first appearance of Theodore, with a few Pandours, as nothing more than one of the usual incursions of a single chief. The most opulent classes soon fled from the -tow Is, and left them a id their pr( p.,.rty to their tate. The towns and the country were soon - without any Government, and the farmer had no other means of safety than to yield himself a prey to the first partizan, or to fly into the woods and mountains. This is a faithful picture of the last few months ; the future certainly offers no very satisfactory prospect."—( Austrian Observer,l July 10.). OPORTO, JULY 6.—We have received from Rio de Janeiro the instructions of his Majesty relative to the Government of Brazil during his absence ; they are as follows : " The Prince Royal of the United Kingdom shall take the title of Prince Regent, and my Lieutenant of the Provisional Government of the Kingdom of Brazil, with which he is charged. In this Government the Conde des Areas shall be Minister and Secretary of State for the affairs of the Kingdom of Brazil and for Foreign Affairs; the Conde de Lausana D. Diogo de Menezes, Minister and Secretary of the AfNrs of Finance, as he now is ; Major-General Carlos Frederico de Caula, to be Secretary of State ad interim in the War Department ; and Manuel Antonio Ta- Dinha, Major-General in the Fleet, to be Secre tary of State ad interim for the Marine Depart ment. The Prince Royal shall take his resolu tions in the Council, formed of the two Ministers of State, and of the two Secretaries of State, ad interim, and its determination shall be reported by the Minister or Secretary of State whose de partment they concern, who shall be responsible. The Prince Royal shall have all powers for the administration of justice or finances, and econo mical governments ; he shall be able to com mute or dispense with the penalty of death, to which criminals may have bee❑ sentenced ; be shall decide all questions relative to the public administration. He shall appoint to all the Offices of Justice or Finance, to all Civil or Mili tary employments, and the persons so appointed:, shall immediately enter in the exercise of their functions by virtue of his decree. Ile shall pro mote to all benefices and ecclesiastical dignities, excepting Bishopricks ; but he may propose to me for them such persons as may be worthy. lie may make war offensive or defensive against any enemy who may attack the kingdom of Brazil, if the circumstances of the case are so urgent that my Royal orders cannot be waited for without the greatest injury to my faithful subjects in this kingdom, and in similar circumstances he may make truces, or some provisional treaty with the enemies of the State. Lastly the Prince may confer, as honorary favours, the habits of the three Military Orders of Christ, St. Bento de Aviz and St. Tiago de Espada, to persons whom he shall judge worthy of this distinction. In the unfortunate and unhappy event (which God avert) of the death of the Prince Royal, the Re gency of the kingdom of Brazil shall immediately devolve on the Princess Royal, his Consort, my much beloved daughter-in-law, who shall govern with a Council of Regency, consisting of the Minister of State, the Secretaries of State for the Departments of War and Marine, the President of the Privy Council, and of the Chief Judge ; the Senior Minister of State shall be President of this Council, and this Regency shall have the same powers and authority as were enjoyed by the Prince Regent. " Palace of Bonavista,April 22,1821. " THE KING." SOUTH AMERTCA. The desertion of the Royal troops bad become very general. The regiment of dragoons of Mexico, that of Tlascala, a column of grenadiers composing part of the garrison of Vera Cruz, as well as the militia of Orisava, had abandoned the Royal standard and established their head-quar ters at Iluamantla, half-way between Mexico and Vera Cruz, recognizing Colonel Iturbide as their -superior in command. The regiment of dragoons of La Puebla soon after followed the example. The detachment of the regiment of Tlascala, which garrisoned the important point of Plau del Rio and Puerto del Rey, delivered these positions into the hands of a Patriot divi sion, under General Victorio. All the popula tion of the coast had declared for independence. Orisava was taken by the Patriot Commandant Miranda, on the 20th of March, and Cordova on the next day. These two positions were the de pots for tl►e Royal tobacco, valued at two mil lions of dollars, all of which was captured, not withstanding the greatest efforts on the part of the Royalists. Almost all the garrison of Vera Cruz was marched out to aid in retaking these places, but the whole of the officers and soldiers joined tl►e Independents.—From Puebla five hundred men were dispatched with the same intention, but they also joined the Revolutionists. Lieutenant Colonel Herrera and Major Villcamil had formed from those troops who had abandon ed the Royal cause, a corps of 2500 men, and established them in cantonments at Huatzhigo, in order to protect the city of Puebla, where the Revolutionists are masters. On the 25th of A pril, the port of Alvarado, fifty miles from Vera Cruz, Was taken, and o❑ the 27th, the port of Ilacotal pa. Colonel Bustamente had also joined the Patriots with the troops which he commanded i❑ the populous province Mitchoacan; and it was said that he had attacked and defeated a division of Royalists under the command of Brigadier Loaces, and entered Quaretero. On the 26th April, a desperate action was fought at Tepiaca, about twenty leagues from Mexico, between the Royalists under Ehia, and the Patriots under Herrera and Bravo; but the action was not de cisive. The latter retired on Cordova and Orasava KINGSTON, JAMAICA MAY 23.—" By letters received in this city yesterday from Savanilla, we learn that the Columbian flotilla, consisting of 30 gun-boats, under Colonel PADILLA, had got into the harbour of Carthagena on the 4th inst., by the entrance of Passa Cavalier, and conse quently cut off the communication between that city and Bocha Chica, which is the impregnable defence of the harbour to maritime attacks. The flotilla had captured several small craft with pro visions, and a schooner. The gun-boats are so close in shore as to be enabled to fire into the city. All the women, children, and persons not capable of bearing arms, as well as those that could not lay in provisions for themselves, had been sent from Carthagena, and many of them had reached Baraquilla and Soledad. The Eu ryalus frigate, Captain BIGLAND, arrived at Sa vanilla on the- 15th from Carthagena. Her officers reported, that at the period of her departure the gun-boats under Colonel PADILLA were close in the harbour of Carthagena." By the - arrival. of the brig Leopard, we learn from Martinique and St. Bartholomew's, that pi ratical depredations still continue off these islands and on the South American coast, to an alarming extent. The French were vigilant, but .the privateers frequently elude them. A brig has been taken, by Commodore DANIEL'S vessel, from Vera Cruz, with 140,000 dollars on board, besides a cargo in dry goods, to the amount of 200,000 dollars.—(American Paper, Jane 19.) - We have heard that a gentleman i❑ the vicinity of Glasgow, has received from his Britannic Ma jesty's Consul at Alexandria, in Egypt, letters which mention that a sloop of war had been daily expected from Malta, with engineers to survey and report on the practicability of transporting immediately to London the famous needle of Cle opatra, which lies prostrate. In London it will be a truly noble monument, while at Alexandria it is useless. They also - inform that the military expedition of MAIIOMET ALI PACITA, under the command of his son I SMA EL, and directed towards the south, bad captured Dongala, and it was sup posed that of Sihnaar and Durfour, were the par ticular objects in view. —We are sorry to hear there is a want of a Christian church and Chap lain at Alexandria, where there are so many Franks. Trade was dull and money scarce. A number of English travellers had arrived on their way to Upper Egypt.—( Edinburgh Star.)

Mr. EDITOII,----I am an advocate for truth, and the simplicity of facts, unwarped by.thedistortions of prejudice, and uninfluenced by the bias of party ; I therefore trust you will not hesitate to insert this - article,. in reply to a paragraph which appeared in your columns a few days since. To pro nounce fairly on the merits of any particular question, it is re quisite that we dismiss from our minds every partial disposi tion, and also that we maturely weigh every argument which may be adduced in support of one side, as well as the other, otherwise the conclusions we arrive at may be deduced from false and erroneous premises. An action which, simply and ab stractedly considered, appears incapable of defence, is often viewed in a very different light when we are in possession of the whole of the circumstances which may be urged in allevia tion or vindication. I will not pretend to determine whether the late outrage on public decorum at Deal was provoked or unpro voked, or whether any circumstances justify the infliction of a punishment which cei tainly approximates to the barbarism of uncivilized life ; these inquiries are extraneous to my present object, which is simply to expose the fictitious representations contained in your Paper on this painful subject, and which, I venture to add, have been dexterously interwoven with the fabric of the tale. Truth, Sir, never descends to borrow the fugitive colouring of falsehood, and where a.great deal of the latter is in sidiously mingled with the former, I am uncharitable enough to suspect that the writer's motives are extremely equivocal. - In the first place, will your Correspondent condescend to in form the public, by what curious process he has managed to transmute two watermen into oflicers of excise, and upon what grounds he is authorized to impose on your readers by palpable misrepresentations ? 'The truth of the matter is, neither Smith nor Payne were employed in the ostensible service of the excise, and therefore the remark as to their having made themselves obnoxious by the performance of their official duties is neither more nor less than a contemptible fabrication obviously intend ed to exasperate unnecessarily th e p u bli c feeling. But this is not the only instance of disingenuous artifice of which I com plain; your Correspondent says, " that the sufferers were strip ped quite naked, and that they were rescued, half-dead, by the police officers."—Very grave assertions indeed! but fortu nately devoid of every vestige of truth. I am disposed to be lieve your Correspondent's imagination is a little infected with a predilection for the romantic, or that his fancy, unchastised by the curb of reason, like a wild colt, has run away with his judg ment; for neither ofthecircumstances he has recordedare borne out by the truth of the facts; admitting the persons of Paine and Smith were partially exposed, - the words quite naked evidently import too much, and are calculated to create a false impression on the public mind ; and with regard to the rescue, no Police Officers were present at the spectacle, consequently no moles tation could be offered from them ; the personal injury Payne and Smith received was not of a serious character. I myself saw ' Payne yesterday in apparently good health. I leave the public therefore to determine, what measure of credit is due to your Correspondent, when he gravely asserts that both were in a deplorable condition. Alove of truth and a determination (laudable I hope) to repel unfounded aspersions on the town of Deal, which has been in various instances degraded in the eyes of the community, are the only motives with which I am animated ; the character of the Deal people has been deduced from a false standard, founded on the misconduct of a few in fatuated individuals, whom iron necessity has goaded to des peration and a violation of the laws. As a collective body the inhabitants of Deal I am persuaded will yield to none in un shaken loyalty and a practical recognition of the common offices of humanity ; in support of these assertions I appeal to the history of facts, and the irresistible evidence of truth. I appeal to hundreds whose lives h a v e b een sna t c h e d f rom t h e deluging tempest by the gallant exertionsof the Deal boat-men, at a time when the cheek of many a favourite hero would have turned pale with dismay, without any other reward, save that arising from the proud consciousnesu of having offered a tribu tary meed on the altar of humanity.

SOLEM QUIS DICERS FALSUM AUDEAT LONDON, TUESDAY, JULY 24, 1821. The Paris Journals of Saturday, which arrived this morning, contain extracts from the Austrian Observer of the 10th instant, which give gloomy statements respecting the situation of the Greeks in Moldavia and Wallachia. (See a preceding column, under the head of " FOREIGN INTELLI- GENCE.") Another account from Vienna of the same date says, that the late defeat of YPSILANTI was chiefly owing to the defection of the Wallachians, who, in the heat of the battle, went over to the Turks. The latter not having followed up their advantages, YPSIIANTI has been enabled to take up an impregnable position in that part of the mountains which lies between the Bannat and Transylvania. In the Morea the affairs of the Greeks appear progressively improving. The Peleponnesians have marched a considerable force into Thessaly, where they formed a junc tion with the insurgents of that country and the Agrapbiots, and the whole have advanced as far as the neighbourhood of Cosani, in Macedo nia. The insurgents are organized into battalions by experienced Greek, French, English, and Ger man officers. Another article from Vienna states, that the Ottoman Porte hai' thought proper to recall its Charges d'Affaires at the Courts of Austria, France, and England, and means to carry on in future its diplomatic relations with those Courts through Ministers Plenipotentiary. The Turkish Charge d'Affaires at Vienna has in consequence presented in due form his letters of recall to Prince METTERNICH. An article from Frankfort of the 14th instan t says, that many vague reports have been in circulation there respecting the late oc currences near Dantzic. We now know that a conspiracy was formed with the view of operating a political change in Prussia. The Prussian Government are taking active measures to discover all its ramifications, and a great many persons, who are supposed to have been impli cated in it more or less, have been arrested. The chief of this conspiracy was an inspector of Forests residing at Bromberg, who belongs to a noble family. He had gone so far as to address a Proclamation to the people and the army ; ex citing them to overthrow the existing order o things. From Naples we learn that several arrested some months since, as being most active in bringing about the late Revolution in that countly, have been set at liberty, on giving security for their appearance when required. Among these persons are the following distin guished members of the Neapolitan Parliament: SIGNORI BORELLI, POERIO, ARCOVITO, and PETRINELLI.

The following are Extracts : " BOSTON, JUNE 21.—(Arrival of the Mace donian.)—The United States' frigate Macedonian arrived at this port yesterday, in 37 days from Rio Janeiro, and 93 from Valparaiso. By this ship information has been received from the latter place to March 18, and from the former to the 13th May. Nothing particularly important bad recently transpired in Chili. News had been re ceived from Peru to the close of February, at which time General San Martin remained at nuaura, distant from Lima about SO miles, with an army of 7 or 8000 men. The Spanish force was at Lima, and consisted of about the same number. A general engagement was not antici pated ; but it was believed that the expedition from Chili would be ultimately successful. The Viceroy had been deposed by the military, and General La Serna was appointed in his stead.— Lord Cochrane, with most of his squadron, con tinued off Callao. The Spanish frigates Venganza and Prueva had been absent several months, and were supposed to be on the coast of Mexico.— The Macedonian has brought 343,232 Spanish dollars, and 30,441 ounces of silver."—(New York Paper of the 23d June.) C Importantfrom St. Domingo.--By the Schooner Flying fish, arrived in 7 days from Cape Haytian, we have received intelligence that all the Spanish part of St. Domingo has been revolutionized. Commodore Aury's flag was left flying at Monte Cristi, and the revolutionary troops had march ed against Port Plate; this change it is be lieved was effected without bloodshed, Commo dore A ury and President Boyer acting in concert." (From the Baltimore Patriot.) " BOSTON, JUNE 21.—8 y an arrival from New South Wales, we learn that the ship General Gates had been captured by the Dromedary store-ship for having concealed 13 convicts, which were found on board, and that Captain R. had been put in prison. The ship and cargo were to be sold to defray damages.—(From a Batavia Paper.) The rumours respecting the warlike aspect of affairs between Russia and Turkey, produced a further marked depression in the funds yester day. Part of these rumours, no doubt, as well as part of their effects, are attributable to the operations of speculators in the money market. But the probability of the early commencement of hostilities between the Russians and Turks daily gains strength and consistency ; and not withstanding the unwillingness of some persons to admit the real posture of affairs, the concur ring force of accounts from all quarters and all parties, and the confirmatory, though tardy, ad missions of the French Government papers, leave no doubt as to the hostile intentions and prepa rations of Russia, if actual hostilities have not already commenced. There is one circumstance connected with this subject, amid the contending feelings which agitate the mind in contemplating the probable extension of war and its accom panying- horrors, on which it is Impossible not to dwell with almost unmixed satisfaction. Should Russia actually enter the dominions of the Porte offensively, the independence of the Greeks must be established; and, whatever may be the ulterior views of Russia, she will be compelled, at least for the present, by the vigilance and controlling influence of the other European Powers, to con tent herself with aiming at the expulsion of the Turks from Europe. It appears to us that the most judicious and politic course for the British Government to adept, at tl.is interesting and mo mentous juncture, would be to offer, on their own part, and if possible in concert with some others of the great Powers, their mediation be tween Russia and the Porte, on the basis that the liberation of Greece, and its erection into an independent State, should be granted by Turkey and guaranteed by Russia and the mediatory Powers,—that a free intercourse through the narrow seas between the two continents, should I be allowed for the passage of ships of ALL nations into the Black Sea,—and that the Porte should undertake to restrain its subjects from a re+ newal of those barbarities whtich they have recently perpetrated. Shoulc\ttie Ptrtk be rea.dy to accede tos t lliese or- similar ‘ondi tions, and should Russia notwithstanding be determined to persevere in hostilities, her am. bitious views will thus be made manifest ; and there will be no alternative, (Turkey setting the Greeks free from her yoke, on condition that they either aid her in her defence against Russia, or at least remain neutral in the contest,) but to dispatch a British fleet for the defence of Con stantinople, and to rouse all Europe to check the monstrous career of Russia toward the increase of her already colossal empire.— Should the Porte, on the other hand, refuse the emancipation of Greece, and other reasonable demands of the Christian Powers, and should Russia manifest an unequivocal disposition to confine her views to the expulsion of the Turks from Europe, and to the emancipation of Greece, she ought to be supported by all Christendom, and to be cheered on by the best wishes and ac clamations of Europe. When the Romans con quered Greece, the conquerors were civilized by the conquered; because the victorious legions were Romans. Greece conquered by Turkey has not a second time civilized her conquerors, but has been rendered semi-barbarous herself, because her last conquerors and tyrants are Turks. The brutal insensibility of these barbarian; is astonishing. Living amid the relics of genitr, they have not caught one spark of her sacred fire. They gaze with stupid wonder on the glorious monuments of Grecian art,—ou the elegant fabrics and exquisite productions of Grecian architecture and statuary, and, conclud ing them to be the productions of supernatural beings, indiscriminately destroy them, in order to convert the marble into lime to make stucco for their own tasteless houses. But it is not only on these precious remains that the blind norance of the Turks has brought destruc tion. All the charities and elegances of life have been withered by their desolating presence' Ignorance, tyranny, superstition, and gross sen suality only dwell in th e countries which they have over-run ; or issuing out with savage fury, they lay wast e th e country round, and imbrue their hands in the blood of numberless vietims,--converting the finest countries in the world into deserts, part inha' bited by savage beasts, and part by more savage men,—the poor aborigines skulking in hiding' places like the timid hare (which epithet the Turks gave them in derision) while those beast s of prey roam abroad. In short, every obje ct ' moral and physical, the fair face of nature, and the intellectual energies of the inhabitants, have been equally blasted and defiled by the destroy ing influence of Turkish tyranny.
