FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. Paris, OCT. Il.—The King yesterday held a Council of Ministers. A letter from Bayonne, dated Oct. 4, states, that " the affair of Riego is not forgotten. It is said that very strong representations are about to be addressed to the Cortes, requesting the in vestigation of that affair, and that the Govern ment may be required to give :an account of the motives for the removal of the General. The cordon on our frontiers has been reinforced within these few days. The -entrance of Spanish goods is,, however, within these few days permitted, provided they have good passports and certifi cates of health. The entrance of wool and other merchandize from Spain continues to be pro hibited." Letters from Oferon state, that the epidemic malady still makes considerable ravages between that -place and Saragossa. In several communes 30 or 40. persons die daily. It is nearly the same at Tartosa, Fraya, and Aleciainenza. • The authorities of Nava: re and Arragon have adopted the most rigid precautions against the progrEr of the fever. We are assured that no symptom of the malady exists in Andalusia. A disorder called the musquoso 7 bilious _fever lias appeared in a hamlet called .La Cour ki'Origny, in the arrondissement of Avallon. - It as first noticed between the Eel and 12th of Aug., during the great beats and the harvest labours.— - It is attended by a carious circumstance, as (la- . cult for physicians to explain as many other pro 7. blears in medicine—namely, that the malady has only attacked one half of the hamlet, which is divided into two equal parts, by a cross, sur- . rounded IA ith trees. The northern part is in fected, while that of the south is quite healthy. Mr. Philip Green, British Consul-General in,, the Morea, whose name has been often men tioned in the journals with relation to the ,Greek Insurrection in the Peloponnesus, isnow. at Paris.- Jle intended to have prosecuted some of the French Journals which had .published calumnies against his conduct at Patras ; but having taken the opinion of some of our most eminent lawyers, he was convinced that, not being accredited in France, and not residinr , in the country at the time the publications took place, his official cha racter could not be recognised by our Courts.— Justice and . impartiality, which are the rules of our Journal, impose on us the obligation of stat ing that we have had before us official documents Of high authority, which prove in a victorious wanner that the atrocious imputations cast on Green are not only destitute of - foun dation, but even fabricated' in despite of corn ,mon - sense.-L-Far from having manifested se'n •timents hostile to the cause of the-Greeks; •the Consul-General was obliged, in conse qnence of the - complaint of.- the Turkish Government to render an account to his own • Government, of an affair in which lie had favour ed the Greeks, who were at Patras, at the corn mencement of the revolution. _Far from having 'advised the Turks to burn the town of Patras, lie .“posed • his own life by assisting to extinguish the fire; and he distributed Money to the crew of the Malta packet-boat, to induce them to fol low his - ,example. This packet-boat, the de parture of which from Patras has been the -.ob ject of so much caluinny, conveyed. Mr. Green's dispatches for the Anglo-lonian Government of ,Corfu. In forwarding these dispatches the . Con sul only fulfilled one of the duties of his effice,; but this circumstance served for a pretext for imputing to him the having given information to the Turkish army in Albania. It has also been reported that Mr. Green owes considerable sums to Greek merchants. On the contrary, lie has to claim from them debts to the 'amount of about 67,200 Turkish piastres. We are besides in formed that Mr. Green never received the pro test said to have been addressed to him by the Provisional Governtreat of Kalimata. Ile bud not even heard of it befcr. , he saw it in the Paris Journals, whi e h. Was at Marseilles for the re covery of his health. Mr. Green cannot conceive what motives the Government or .Kalamata can have 'far gratuitously blackening the conduct of a man whose character, both in his private and public capacity, has always been unstained. In reflecting on the wftole of the circumstances, it is not improbable that this protest, like many others, may be a fabrication.—(Journal des Debuts.) FRENCH FUNDS. Oct. 10, Five per (:':rts 9O f. GO c. Bank Stock 1600 f. c. OCT. 12.—Prince Talleyraud had an audience of the King the night before last. A private letter from Barcelona, of S , , , pt. 29, says, that the situation of that toss n becomes daily more deplorable ; and that all their hopes_ that the cool weather would subdue, or at least arrest the yellow fever, have been disappointed.

I.—On the 28th of September, the day appointed for the opening of the Session , of the Extraordinary Cortes, the King and Queen repaired in great state to the Palace of the Cortes. The acclamations of an immense concourse of people'attended their Majesties to the very door of the Palace, where they were received by two Deputations of the Cortes. The King, after having taken his seat on the Throne, delivered the following speech : 66 GENTLEMEN,—SHICe I expressed to the • Cortes my [Wives for believing it advisable to call an extraordinary meeting of the Cortes, -nothing has so much engaged my attention as the desire to see them assembled. I now see them with the greatest satisfaction, .and give myself wholly up to the pleasing and just hope of the good which the . country will derive from their labours. The subjects which I have prepared o lay before these Cortes for their consideration are mostly such, the regulation of which is neces sary for the more speedy consolidation of the constitutional system, such as the division of the territory, and the hest means of placing, accord ing to it, the political government of the Cortes, the military ordinances, the of decree of the organization of the naval force, and the decree for the organization of the active militia. I par ticularly urge you to place every thing in con sonance with the fundamental law of the State, leaving the administration free from all those serious embarrassments which it. often meets with for want of this necessary harmony, and which the Government cannot remove. I have also thought that some other points ought to be de termined, which, though not so intimately con nected with the Constitution, have a great in luence on the general prosperity : such as the measures to be adopted to restore the tran quillity and to promote the welfare of the Americas, the examination and reform of the duties of customs, the means -necessary to prevent the serious loss which the nation sus tains by the currency of false or defective foreign' coin, and the project. of a deCree in the charitable institutions. Though all the subjects •that are going to he dis Cussed by the Cortes are of so much importance, the fact it self of their being assembled to discuss them is still more so. This new proof and guarantee of the union which prevLits between :all the chief powers Of the state) must convince all the ene mies of our institutions that their efforts to sub vert them will be vain. I shall take advantage of the period in which the Cortes will continue assernbled to give orders to propotb any measure or project which May appear to my Government necessary and urgent, - as well as to ask their co operation when circunastanCes niay require. The field, gentlemen, is mast extensive which is open to your zeal, and your talents ; and those quali ties which so greatly _distinguish you, combined with the prudenCe and -circurtmpection which have ,marked all you). 41iberations, ensure to the country the completion of those advantages which it already owes to you. 4. have - 14e con fidence that you will - gain in' both.respects the admiration of the nation and of foreigners, en- titling yourselves more and more to the particular -esteem of your King, who will always consider the Cortes as the firmest support of his constitu tional throne." Ills Majesty having .concluded‘his discourse, he President made a suitable reply, compliment ing his Majesty for having called this extraordi nary meeting of the Cortes : he adverted to the delicacy with which his -Majesty had appointed the. 24th September as the day of their meeting, this being the anniversary of the installation of the General and Extraordinary Cortes in 1810— a recollection el hich will influence the present Cortes to imitate the virtues of the illustrious deputies who composed that assembly. Though the matters to be discussed are important, and will be highly advantageous to the nation, yet still more and greater benefits will result from the present asembling of the Cortes. His Ma jesty, by voluntarily meeting the representatives of the nation; again ratifies his solemn engage 7 ments, and receives in the face of the world une quivocal testimonies of mutual love and confi dence. The Spanish nation, which equally abhors despotism and anarchy, though d:sirOUs! of liberty, asks only such liberty as may be founded on the laws, and never degenerates into licentiousness ; it 1011 have no government but a limited Monarchy, such as the Constitution has established .; and it entertains the most unbound ed love and respect towardzhis Majesty's sacred and inviolable person. These are the sentiments of the nation and of its representatives ; they are duly appreoiated by his Majesty, and it may be reasonably expected that from so happy a union will flow immense advantages to the tip apish nation, and an admirable example to other nations, who well may learn from it the harmony of the constitutional system,: and of liberty with monarchy and order! The Pre sident having concluded with - an arslent wish for the continuance of the happy union between the King and his people, and for the perfect conso lidation of the constitutional system, his Majesty rose, accompanied by the deputation, and retired to the palace amidst the applauses of the specta- _tors in the galleries, who, as his Majesty passed, broke out into 'the most lively acclamations.—A Committee was their appointed to draw up an answer to-his Mvjesty's speech, and the assembly adjourned till the following day. In the Sitting of the 29th, the Cortes were engaged chiefly in matters of form, such as ap pointing Committees, &c.. The sitting of the 30th was chiefly devoted to the discussion of the plan for the new division of the Spanish Jerritory.. kis proposed to retain the names of the ancient provinces, but to divide them into districts, each of which shall have a Provincial Council and a Political Chief, subor dinate to those of the-capital of their respective Provinces. It has met with great opposition, and at all events will be a work of time and difficulty. A change of Ministry is talked of. The late Minister of War, Lieut.-Gen.Moreno Diaz, has been appointed Political Chief and Commandant-General of Seville. Senores Nunez and Mac-Crobon, two of the chief orators of the Club of the Fontana &Oro, have been arrested by the Political Chief. • The nomination of General Valdes 'as Political and Military Commandant of Cadiz is confirmed. The Ministry has dismissed the Political Chief of Seville for permitting the portrait of Riego to be paraded through the streets dating two days. Senor'Michel Cabrara, one of the deputies, who is returned froth America, has had a long inter view with• the Colonial Minister, on the subject of these'provinces, to which it is purposed to make overtures of peace and alliance. The couriers travel with less security than ever. PAMPELUNA, OCT. 3.—The Letters we have just received from Catalonia are• of the most alarming nature. The yellow fever makes the most dreadful ravages. On the 23d and 21th ultimu 260 persons ; exclusive of children ; died at Saragossa. This disorder has appeared at Lerida, Barbastao, and many other towns in Ca talonia and .Arragon. it. is reported that the whole population of Tortosa has perished, and that Mequenenza.. and Fraya are nearly de populated. SARAGOSSA, OCT. 3.—D. F. Villamor, the principal- of the late conspiracy discovered here, has been tried, convicted, and sentenced to eight years' banishment in the Bulcaric isles, by the Judge of First Instance ; be has np intention of appealing against this sentence. VIENNA, SEPT. 29.--The Post arrived yester day with letters from Constantinople up to the 10th of September, and from Smyrna, as late as the 31st of August. All was quiet in both those towns. We are waiting impatiently for the answer of Russia to the note sent by the Reis- Effendi to Petersburg.. _ _ The Grand Treasurer has confiscated the pro perty of the family of the Princes Callimachi, the last of the Farrariotes. It is hence con-. eluded that the head of this family, exiled in Asia, has been strangled. Letters from Bucha rest of the 16th September confirm this event. According to letters from Zante of the 14th of September, the Turkish, Egyptian, and Algerhw combined fleets have entered Calamatta, in the Morea, .with provisions and munitions of war for the Ottoman garrisons, and proclaiming in all parts the amnesty published by the Divan. The Eng lish.at. Corfu give et - O.& assistance:to the fleet: OCT. I.—The exchange - of couriers between our Court and that of Constantinople, is very fre quent. Dispatches Of importance have been re ceived from the Austrim) lUternuncio, but their contents have not transpired. A letter from Petersburgh brought by the mes senger to-day states, that the . Emperor of Russia quitted that rzpital on the 19th September, to proceed to his army on the Iron - tiers of Turkey. ODESSA, SEPT. 14.--We learn from Peters burgh, under date the 4th of Si , ptember, that . the Emperor Alexander., has thstructed the Count Capo d'lstria to communicate.to all the European Powers the contents of the last notes exchanged between Russia and the Porte. He has declared to the Courts of London and Vienna, that he cannot consider the condition of Turkey, which they have represented as perfectly peaceable, to be sufficiently consolidated to restore his formerly fiiendly relations with the Porte. The Emperor declares, that he,has , not altered his pacific sentiments, manifested at Lay bach, and that he replied in strict Conformity with those sentiments, ,to the notes of the Porte, complaining of the conduct of the Baron de Strogonoti, in the- hopes that 'the Sultan would comply with hiS just demands. But the EMperor at the same time declines the offered mediation of Austria and England, on the same principle which induced him to leave the resto ration of tranquillity in Italy to Austria alone. .If any fresh persecutions of the Christians take place, the Emperor will lie under the necessity of oecu pying,provisicinally,Moldaviaand Walachia with_ his troops: • • There is little appearance of the quick advance of our troops, for subseqUent to this declaration fresh negociations have been opened with the Porte. . FRANE:FORT,'OCT. s.—li is remarked that the Part ; in the firinan which it has addressed to' all the Pachas anir Governors of Provinces; ,en joins them to prcitect - the Greeks and other. Christian subjects of Turkey. The Isle of Samos, Ipsara, Hydria, and .Spezzia, are formally ex-. cepted . from that species of amnesty, -in conse quence of their having been the first to yaise the standard of revolt, and, their organizing a great maritime force. It is said this exception has dis.; pleased theltussian Cabinet.-,--Letters from Berlin state that great preparations are making in theßoyal Palace there, as well as at Potsdam, to receive his Majesty the King ,of England. The arrival of couriers at Berlin, passing backwards and for wards between St. Petersburgh, London, and Paris, has never been so frequent as at - this time, whence it is inferred that we shall know in a very few days if 'peace with Tuikey will be maintained, or if war will break out. The Rus sian army desires it as well as-all the people of Germany, .whose Wishes in favour of the Greeks are every where loudly expressed. IlAsiautton, OCT. 6.- 7 .ewi from Jutland has been received, stating that about 30 vessels be longing to the Netherlands are entangled in the ice in those seas, aild that several' others have been wrecked on the coasts of the island, whither they have been driven by the floating masses of ice.-- - --The Admiralty at NiColajlw have received orders to have all the ships of war ready for sea. LEGHORN, ,SEPT. 2.B.—We hear from Malta that a Declaration of the English Government 'is expected there,.stating ;that it will treat as pirates all arrned.vessels sailing under a flag not acknoWledged'hy Ore'European Powers. The English line-Of-battle ship Rochefort ar.. rived here from Malta in six days :. it will sail agaiti for the lattet liaktd-rnorroW. WARSAW, SEPT, 17.-1-The Minister Secretary of State', Brigadier General Kostechi, has written a military work, respecting a plan of attack upon Turkey. The Emperor has accepted the dedi cation, and 'the" Grand Duke Constantine, to whom the General _presented his plan, received it in a very favourable manner. • ' It is said that Russia means to put in motion three armies, besides the.. reserve ; the :first marches direct 'on • Constantinople.; the second, 80,000 strong, is proceeding to Borcha, the plains of Philippi and Macedonia, to co:operate with the Greeks ; and the third will leave the banks of the Phari to gO from the east to the west, and form a junction with the troops which shall then he near Constantinople, after having traversed Asia Minor, and drawn the Turks from the coasts of the Black Sea and the Bosphorus, which will throw open the route to Smyrna. If this plan is really designed, it is thought that it will not take a long time to execute ; but other political con siderations must be attended to. Letters were received from St. Petersburgh on Saturday, dated the 18th ult., which state that the exchange had advanced very considerably ; it was at Q 5-16, FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE, Ot'r.l3. ADMIRALTY -OFFICE, OCT. 9, 1821. Rear-Admiral the Hon. Sir 3IExnY Br. ~cs- WOOD, Commander-in-Chief of his MAJEsTy's ships in the'East Indies, has transmitted to JOHN WILSON CuoicEu, Esq. two letters which he'had received from Capirtin Lumt.r. - Y, of his Alajty's ship Topaze, date 4 NOtha„the 13th of Decein:. her and `2oth of January last, of which the fol lowing are copies His Majesty's Snip Topaze, elf Mocha, Dec.l3, 1320. Sin-1 have the honour to inform you, that having received the communications of the Hon. the Governor in couneil at Bombay, far the guidance.of my conduct in - demanding satis faction for insults and indignities offered by the Government of Mocha to the British flag, I sailed from Bombay on the 19th of November with the expedition which had been equipped, and of which I bud assumea the command. On my- arrival here on the' 3d instant, I immediately com municated with Mr. Bruce, the Hon. Company's Agent, who had been appointed to assist me in this service, and. finding from his representatiOns that he had abandoned all hopes of pacificatory arrangement, and that none but coercive measures would have the effect of inducing the Government of Mocha to accede to the demands of the British Government, on the re ceipt of his letter, recommending the adoption' of those mea sures to nip, and considering that it would tend. to the benefit of the British interests, I lost no time in placing the squadrOn in the best possible position ; and through the assistanee'of Mr. A. J. Russel, Master, (of whose professional abilities I cannot speak too highly), in laying down buoys, I was enabled, on the same afternoon, to see the squadron advantageously disposed of, beyond my most sanguine expectations, off the forts and town of 31oeha. At 40 minutes past 7on the morning of the 4th, I annmenced action, and kept up a Spirited and well directed fire against them until Zto minutes past twelve, when the enemy- sent off a flag -of truce ; I then ceased firing, and gave Fultee Ilassain, the Dola, two hours •to consider of the terms that had been proposed ; at fifty minutes past two, the terms not having been answered, I rerbininenced action, and the enemy having abandoned the North fort, I directed , the boats. of the squadron to be manned and armed ; and at, five • o'clo‘l they left the ship' under the command 'of LieUtenant NV illiam 31oriarty, of the Topaze, iUr the purpose of spiking the guns and blowingup the North fort ; before, however; the boats could reach the shore, the enemy succeeded in repossessing them-'. selves of it, and occupied it in - force Lieutenant William - Mo-. riarty, notwithstanding, proceeded to land, and advanced with, the most daring intrepidity up to the walls of the fort, under a' heavy 'and most annoying tire of nmsquetry ; finding himself un-. able, after repeated attempts, to force an entiance by any - means, and _consii ing that all further eilbrts would be unavailing, and wily tend to increase the great loss which they had already sus.. tained, he felt himself under the necessity of retreating to . the Loats ; which operation was covered in a very handsome man ner by Mr. Charles Napier, Master's Mate, and Mr. Francis Adniralty Midshipman, in the barge and launch of the Topaze. ' When I remark to you, that every Officer disembarked on this service from the Topaze were either killed or wounded, you will be able to appreciate the gallantry and deviitionivith which they led their men to the attack and though it was not crown-- t t ,vith the success it merited, their conduct deserves the high-' est praise. ~.mongst the killed I have to regret the loss of Lieutenant R.. G. Atkinson, of the Royal - Marines. ' a most gallant and men- . torious officer ; Mr. C. P. Gill, who had conspicuously distin-' guished himself; and Mr. F. S. Burnett, a young officer of the highest promise. In the number wounded are Lieutenants Wright and Mori arty; Mr. Alexander Morton, Boatswain, a most zealous Offi cer ; Ste:phens, Admiralty Midshinfrian, and who has served long and ivith 'credit, and whom I beg leave to re commend to your protection ;. and Mr. Robert Ward, Admir alty Midshipman, mortally, since dead, a deserving and gallant Officer. The skill arid attention which has been shewn by Mr. James Foy, Surgeon, and Nlr. Willirku Porteous, ASsiStant, surgeon, towards the wounded, merit my warmest praise. • In the evening, I had ordered the Benares and Antelope, cruizers, to sl,ift their birth, abreast of the town, to protect the bomb-vessel, which had' been throwin shells half-hourly 'dur ing the day. The precision with which-the mortar-had-been fired was, at 9 o'clock, marked by the breaking out of the flames in the town. It continued burning until 30 minutes past 3 in the morning. The conduct or _Lieutenant and Adjutant Jacob, of the Artillery, was highly praiseworthy, and claims my grate acknowledgments. Ile speaks most highly of the detach ment of Artillery' under his command. On the morning of the "at thirty minutes ppt 7, the enemy again hoisted a flag of truce, and inconsequence of the DOla having delivered hostages to ensure their compliance with cur demands, - I -consented to a truce of fourteen days, and have every reason to.conclude that every thing . will be satisfactorily Settled as soon as the 'courier who has been dispatched to Sfinna Can return. • • During.the whole course of the operations at this place, ren dered extremely arduous from the violence with which the wind has blown, and the consequent difficulty of carrying them - on, 1 have derived from Lieutenant Wilkie, First Lieutenant of this ship, all the assistance which I could have anticipated from an Of:leer of his abilities and experience. To Captains Faithful and Robson, commanding the Ho nourable Company's cruizers Benares and Antelope; Captain Jones, commanding the Ernard, Company's store-ship, and Lieutenant Elwin, of the Thames, Company's mortat-boat, I ant highly indebted for their zealous and active co-oPurations. They report most fully of the conduct of their crews. In calling your particular attention , to the.distinguished con duct of'Lieutenant Moriarty, l - fed Myself %uite . unable to ren der justice to his merits, and I therefore take the liberty of re - - questing you will be pleased to recommend. him to the Lords Commissioners of tile Admiralty. • (Signed) al NO.

Sen—ln continuance of myietter of the 13th ult., I have the honour to congratulate you on the success which has since at. tended the exertions of the squadron under my command, and the satisfactory termination of its labours at MoCha. • The anticipations I had indulged in, of being able to adjust amicably the difibrences subsisting between the Covernment of India and his Highness the linaum of Senna, and which I had been induced to form from the apparent anxiety expressed by the Dola to coincide with all our• wishes, gradually dissipated before the evasive delays by which he endeavoured to prolong the term of the time, and whieh (out of a spirit of conciliation) had drawn from me a coacessioa of five days beyond the stated period. Sufficient having been done on my part to evince the friendhness.of our disposition, it became myduty to shew that we were not to be made the dupes of Arab cunning, and every thing being prepared for resuming hostilities,- should it become necessary, at four o'clock on the afternoon of -the 25th, I ordered the flag of truce to be struck, with the intention of recommencing the attack as early -next morning as day-light would permit. • The interval. of the truce had been. well employed in .aseer taining.the best approaches,- and on the the Ilenares, An. telope, and Thames mortar boat - had been warped into a chin nei round a spit projecting from the north , fort, and placed on its rear.face, .forming, a battery of five long 18-pounders- and em 8-inch mortar, the distance from 350 to 450 yards ; - his Ma jesty's ship Tonaze was likewise Warped as close as her draught ' l of Water7would'pernilt; hearing on the'-iea-Tace, with a flattery 'of 16 longlB-potaiders - and eight 32 pound carronados, at a dis- „ . tape?. oi 701) yards.. Thus prepared, on the morning of the-26th inst., 31r. Rus sel (Master); with a party of seamen to work the guns of the -Thames, the launch and. - barge; for the . purpose of enfilading the beach, and at ten minutes past six A. AI. the squadron opened its fire against the nWth fort; it was instantly returned - from- the north and south fotts, bunda, five gun, and north gate batteries. The peculiarly destpictive encts of a cross fire were in ten irinutes made manifest by the silence of the fort, and by ten o'cick compelled the enemy to abandon it; they retreated to the number of 150, exposed to a most galling fire of .grape and cannister from the in-shore squadron, under which they snared seVerely. At twenty minutes past ten I went in-shore on board the Benares, and Lieut. Jacob having reported that there weee tw'o.practicable breaches, I made the signal for the. boats, and sent them with the detachment of 31aiines, Bombay Artillery, and SepoyS of the squadron, under the command of Liet:t. Moriarty, to take possession and• destroy . it; the whole fire of the enemy. was turned on our people while employed on this service, but th;: feelings which gave energy to their eon dqet were not to be impeded by any difficulties, and the celerity with which they pulled to laud, the cool, deliberate style in which they formed on the beach,. and the steady order in which they Marched into the fort, -in two divisions by the difident breaches, excited my warmest admiration. I at noon enjoyed the satisfaction of witnessing the display of the British flag flying croin the battlements ; at . three our people again em barked, having spiked all the guns, destroyed the carriages, formed and sprung three deep fougasseS, which at - twenty minutes past three burst with a dreadful exylosion, reducing the whole too. complete mass of shapeless ruins. The Thames was employed this whole night throwing shells, with an effzet corresponding to the precision with which they were projected. The demolition of the north fort having been thus accom plished, it became my next concern to turn our force against the. south one, but the extreme violence of the wind prevented my getting the vessels into position before the eyenins of the 9th, and the depth of Water would not admit of the'T'opaze's being. hauled sufficiently close to hatter it with advantage; her fire was however useful in keeping in check that of the enemy from the different batteries in the town ; and the brisk one preserved by the cruisers required no addition to obtain the desired end. During the days of the 27th, 28th, and 20th, we had been par tially engaging, and on the 30th at sun rise again opened our cannonade with effect, answering in description to that prac tised before. It was returned from the youth fort, bunda, five gun, and south mosque batteries ; At 30 minutes past nine the enemy to the number of 200 or 300 were constrained to retire, as formerly, under a galling fire of grape. The different detachments were again . landed under the command of Lieutenant Moriarty, whom I sent on shore for that purpose ' • and at thirty minutes past ten, by hoisting his Majesty s colours, I observed he had gained possession of it. The work of destruction was once more proceeded in, and perfected a few minutes before one, by the explosion of five foug - asses which had been sprung, reducing the fort entirely to a heap of rubbish. The Thames was employed throwing shells (in consequence of Lieutenant Jacob having been . severely wounded), under the supeyintendance of Mr. Russel. On the morning - of , the- 31st the enemy commeneed - firitT from - all_ town batteries at the squadron, and a partial engagement 'lms sustained. As I, however, had no longer any object in expos ing the squadron, I ordered the cruisers and bomb out of range, and in the afternoon shifted the Topaze out also. The submission of the enemy relieved me from any embar rassment as to my. further 'proceedings. Ameer eFathullah , • who had been particularly deputed by the Imaum to treat with us, arrived on the 28th and assumed the Government of Mocha- Having evinced the inutility of opposing us, and foreseen the ruin imprnding over his country, through • the removal of its trade, and the interruption of its suppEes; he began to consider it wiser to adopt every me.ins of - regaining ottf friendship, and with a view of obtaining this - ertL sent off, on the Ist instant, a deputation of merchants to iptreat a eesreation of hostilities,: an ee ,l at the same time to say, if acceded to, he Would hiniselfconie of the next morning to wait on Capt Bruce and show the powers under which he was authorised to act. The returns of the killed and wounded you will receivehere - , with.
