By the Anna I sent yOu a copy of the representation I made to Sir THOS.

Presuming from that representation you would he - able. to conceive in what a disagreeable situation we have been placed by those people who are anxious to be consi dered by all the world as champions of the cause of liberty and independence. The persons I complain of as being most- par ticularly 'oppressive, are Lord Cochrane' and his prize-agent here, who have been guilty of the most unfair practices to ob tain a cdtcleinnatiort of the property which we are charged with. I am sorry to AP to say, that Capt. Searle, of his Majesty's ship Hyperion,who - was titai us for a whole day, while they were changing my . crew for one of the patriot or insurgent squadron, could not, or difl not; think it his duty to interest himself for us. However, I Must, canfess'that I was prevented• by Lord Cochrane from making my situation known to captain Searle; and of this prohibition. I haie to remark, that it made• me doubt his Lordship's right even to detain us. I wits not permitted to show my colours whilst in company with the British frigate. Captain Searle, I learnt afterwards, seas told of our detention, lilt he sailed for England without having any communication ed against their will to serve in a service which they have I written to me and to Captain ShiriefF, of his Majesty's ship Andromache, earnestly begging to be released from ; and I have no doubt but that Sir Thomas Hardy is about to adopt very decisive measures respecting - the withholding these four or five men. He is aware they have been. treated very ill, because they have withstood every temPtation which has been held forth to them to induce them td enter, and he has peremp torily demanded them again of the Government, and as soon a; their answer is obtained, he will send his Majesty's ship Con way down for them again, and, should that be refused, he will be compelled to use force. With respect to the cargoes, he will give them a stipulatedtime, as the agents of Lord Cochrane .hollOut that they have proofs that they are Spanish property ; but if in that time (he says fourteen days) they do not show moreandhetter proof than they have already done, he will insist on their liberation.

But my poor crew, although most of them signed . a letter which they addressed to him, to beg he would liberate them from serving in the Chili squadron against their will, he took no notice of, as the men have not been liberated, and are now kept forcibly to serve the State of Chili. .

INDIA. ACCOUNTS OF THE SHIP !PARTRIDGE, FROM CALCUTTA, SUPPOSED -ATALIDRAS TO HAVE BEEN LOST. [From a Calcutta Journal of Feb. 4.] The Supplements of the Madras Courier . of the 16th, 17th, and 18th instant, came in yesterday. They are filled with the Examinations of the, WitnessesagainSt the Queen, but do not include a line beyond the Evidence _already published in our columns. They announce the arrival of the Free Trader, Swal low, at Point de Calle, from London,. the 29th of August, and Madeira the 18th of September, boundto Bombay ; passenger, Capt. Aubrey, of the Madras Array. The ship Friendship had arrived at Galle from the Matcritius, and the Salimany had passed that port on the 24th of December, from China to Bom bay. An express had reached the Madfas Post-office on the 18th of January, from Cananore,sin the opposite coast, an nouncing the arrival of the'ruissing ship Partridge at that place on the 13th, and forwarding to . Madras the packets sent by her from Calcutta: No particulars were stated as 'to the cause of the Partridge making her appearance in this unexpected quar ter, but it is said that she had got upon some shoal to the north ward, which compelled her to go round to Bombay. It will be remembered, that from the extraordinary voyage made by the Partridge from London out to Calcutta, her excellent qualities as a fast sailer, and her superior accommodations, she was thought to present the mosteligiVle^oppoitimiy that could of fer, either for letters or passengers to England.. The disap pointment thus' occasioned by her delay will be very generally felt. The accidents that have occurred in the detention of packets sent by tile Essex, the Pilot, the Vittoria, and the Par tridge, all of which have been obliged to . be transferred to other ships, within the last six months, are serious evils to the mer cantile coeamunity, and to all clasSes indeed in India, to whom the regularity and speed of corresiiinderice is necessarily of an importance proportioned to their distance from home, and to the long delay that takes place before they can hear from their friends, in answer to letters from this country, under the most favourable circumstances. At a late hour yesterday, when the last sheet of this Sunday Number was nearly ready for the press, a Gentleman handed to us a letter from one of the passengers on boar,: the Partridge, addressed to his friend in Calcutta. It_ is -dated . Cananore, the 13th of January, and we have permisslon to make use of it.— The Partridge left the pilot on the 27th of December, with the intention of calling at Bimlipatam for a passenger, and the writer, in speaking of their touching at this place, proceeds as THE RING. HOLYHEAD, SUNDAY, SEPT. 2.—ltis MAJESTY'S intention of getting on board to-morrow, for the purpose of proceeding on his voyage to England, having been announced on Friday, preparations were making for his departure both at the Park and the Castle the whole of yesterday, and this day. It is thought he will piss the early part of Monday In viewing that part of the county of Wicklow immediately in the neighbourhood of Powers-court. 0:It-is celebrated- for grandeur of scenery, and cannot fail to add to the admiration which, upon different occasions, his Majesty has been pleased to express, of the beauty of the country. It is'not yet certainly known, whether he will sail direct . for Portsmouth on board the Royal yacht, or come in the steam-boat to Holy head. If the wind should render the latter course necessary, every preparation has been made both here and along the road. If the wind should prove favourable, it is thought the Royal squadron will sail direct for Ports mouth.—Sir Wm. Congreve,.Lord Langford, Col. Campbell, and many. other Gentlemen, came on hoard the Lightning steam-packet this day. It arrived here about half-past two, after a very favourable passage. if his Majesty should pro ceed to England through this place, it is expect ed that he will stop , for a short time at Wynnstay, the seat- of SirW., W. Wynn. The pe6ple of Wales do not appear less enthusiastic in their loyalty than his subjects on the other side of the water. The'inhabitants of this little town speak of bis visit as the most memorable thing that' could possibly occur to them. It will be boasted of no doubt by their descendants as an honour of the highest kind. TESTIMONIAL TO COMMEMORATE lIIS MAJES- TY'S VISIT. :FRO)1 THE DUBLIN PATRIOT OE SATURDAY, SEPT. 1.) A Meeting of the Subscribers took place this clay, pursuant to adjournment, "at the Royal Exchange, the Right lion. the Lord Mayor in the Chair. After some previous conversation, the Resolution of the 25th of August, 1821, for the appointment of a Committee for the Collec tion and Appr,opriation of Funds, was rescinded. Lord CARBEHRY then proposed a series of ResolUtions : the - first and principal one stated, that it would now be premature to enter into the discussion of "any particular testimonial, as that would, in a great measure, depend on the amount of the funds. After a long discussion, in which Lord Carberry, Mr. L. White, Mr. Singer, Mr. Finn, and Mr. Lawless took a part. Mr. O'CoN NELL rose and said, that if the Noble . . , Lord would consent to insert in the body Of his Resolution a few words expressive of the wishes of the Meeting, : to erect, if possible, a' Palace, all objections would be obviated ; he (Mr.O'Connell) was sure if the idea of a palace were held out to the country, that great and unprecedented efforts would be made by the people. , Ile had that morning received a com munication from a Roman Catholic Priest in the King's .County, stating, that for a palace he would undertake to 'Collect in three small parishes a sum of sixty, pounds.—(Cheers.)—Two things, in his opinion, were necessary to be done. First', 4 to insure the aid of the aristocracy, without whose entire support nothing could :be accomplished. But the support of the people was necessary too. The Aristocracy, in point, of loyalty to the Mo narch, did not, could not, exceed the people. The humblest. peasant in the land cherished-to wards the Throne an affection as pure and as ar dent, as disinterested andas sincere, as the highest- Lord.—(CheerS.)—Was it not delightful to be able to say so Much, and to.be believed ? Twelve months ago it would not have been believed six months since it would have been doubted: — but he honed it :Would be doubted no more. He was sure that the people of Ireland, fairly dealt with, would never give cause of doubt or dis sati.faction ; he looked up with more delight than he *Eta able to-express to the future hap piness of his country, arising from the union of her people, and from the justice of a Go vernment that. Must see how feeble, as well as wicked, were former acts of oppression, and how well a government of law and freedom were calculated to sustain itself: He had heard with surprise some objections made to a Com mittee, the liSt of which had been produced on a former day by a noble Prelate. had never seen a Committee more fairly selected, and with the exception of his own humble name, more deserving of general adoption. The Learn ed Gentleman introduced into the resolutions words to the effect, that, if the funds should ad. mit of it, a palace would be erected for his Ma jesty.—He sat down amid the general cheers of the Meeting, and the resolution, as amended by Mr. O'Connell, was unanimously adopted. After some other resolutions were :put and carried, the Meeting adjourned. • . All his MAsts-ey's ships have been ordered to be in readiness to depart on Monday. ESTY'S household are discharged from their far- . Cher attendance in Ireland. • A meeting of the bond-holders of the late Crow-street•Theatre was held in Dublin on Fri day, when it was 'agreed that a petitiOn be pre sented to-his MAJ EST Y, praying that he would be pleased to grant a new Patent to Mr. SoNEs, the late Patentee. A Correspondent has favoured us with the following brief account of the Bequest of the late General Putr.lP MARTIN, who died, aged 89, on the sth ult. at Leeds Castle, in the County of Kent. He bequeathed that interesting and va, luable domain,. with extensive freehold property in various counties, and three hundred thousand pounds in ready money., to one of his nearest re latives, FYNNES YKEIIAM, Esq. of Chalcombe Priory, in the County, of Northampton, and of Banbury-, in the; County of Oxon.- The General, in his will, has directed 30,0001. to be expended in the reparations of the ancient castle, in which King EDWARD 11., KICIIARD• 11., and HENRY IV. resided; and King GEonn.F. 111. and his Queen were..visitorsJo. 111 r:,.. afterwards Lord FAIRFAX, (the uncle of General MARTIN) in November, 1779.—( Windsor Express.)

[Extract of a Letter from St. Mary's, June 25.] " The two companies of artillery which left this place for the purpose of taking possession of St. Augustine, having on their arrival been in formed that the Governor would not be ready to deliver up • the place until the Ist July, re turned .to Cumberland Sound: A very serious accident occurred the day before the troops left St. Augustine, through the carelessness of one of the Spanish gunners, and which might have been attended with the most dreadful consequences.— One of the soldiers, having a lighted segar in his mouth, ap...ied it carelessly to some loose powder near the_magazine, which had been left on the. ground ; the fire communicated with some loose shells, which exploded, killed three and wound ed five parsons. The 'unfortunate soldier who communicated the lire has not ate or drank or spoken. since." [From the AUGUSTA HERALD Of the Litli . - Captain WOOD of the ship • Triton, arrived at 1‘ 'ew Bedford, .from the Coast of Chili, informs, that about the. Bth of March, .the ship Ifero, RtissELL, of Nantucket, while .lying off Oroko, flay of St. Mary's, and while'taking a whale, a boat cane off from the shore, with a message from General BENEVETUS, inviting Captain Rus- SELL to come on shore. He accepted the in vitation-=--was civilly received by the General and invited to dine. When Captain R. was about retiring, a person handed the General a letter, which. he pretended had. been dropped by Captain _IL purporting that he was a spy from Lord CocnnANE. The General imme diately ordered Captain Rt. , ss - Etr, and his Men who accompanied him, into close confinement. — They sent three large boats full of men on board the ship, who drove the crew below and tied them. They then barred down the hatches and plundered the ship of every article they could find, including her papers.' - Fortunately a Pa triot brig hove in sight; and they then cut the cable and left her to. drive on the rocks. •The mate finding they were gone; got himself loose and untied the rest; they - then . forced up one hatch and all came on deck, and found they 'were in four fathoms water, clear of the rocks. By great exertions they got the ship . off and saved • her, and put to 'Kea . without baits, -clothing, or papers, and were hound to Valparaiso, to obtain. papers and supplies of 'the ,AMerican Consul, when spoken by Captain Woon. We are still obliged to speak of- a- IVar between Russia and Turkey as an occurrence which is only probable. On the supposition, however, that war anis! ensue (and it continues to be our opinion,, that it is, almost inevitable) let us see what would be, under all circumstances, the best and wisest policy on the part of England.. Austria and Prussia being evidently ready to favour whatever line of conduct may be'finally determined upon byALEKANDER, it is quite obvious, supposing his determination to be for wnr, - that it would be possible for the British Government . to pievent the accom plishment of designs, the- progress and results of which it may nevertheless have many , reasons for viewing with jealousy and alarm. If the course of events be inevitable, it is the best policy to acquiesce with a good grace in that which we cannot prevent. If Rusiia be determined to expel the Turks from Europe, and England cannot successfully" oppose the.execution of the design, the Only- means which is left to her of keeping the ff.:tura influence and power of Russia' in Greece within moderate limits, is to try to divide the gratitude of the Greeks for their emancipation, between • Russia and thcise States which are interested: in keeping the influence of Russia within safe and proper hounds. If, in an gal) , period of the contest, eithet the British Cioderiimailt ch. the British Nation had offered their powerful countenance and inva- , luable aid to the Greeks, before the policy of ALEXAN , DER, Hi their favour apparently, but really for his own interest, had time to be. developed, we should eater afterward have found in the permanent gratitude of the Greeks to Great Britain, the best ! check upon the ambitious views of Russia, 'and the surest safeguard against her future projects. Even noW, perhaps, itis not too late to reap great advantage from adopting this line of eonduct;whilst,on the other hand,all attempts to oppose the progress of A LExAR ntraiy roncE,must be - Riffle; all assistance afforded to the Turks will be as disgraceful to the parties bestowing it, as itwill be inefficient for, and useless . to, the barbarians by whom it is received; and all shew of hostility,. or - even indifference to the Greeks, can have no other effect than to throw them more completely into the arms of Russia, to bind them more and more closely in her embrace, and to render theni in future the grateful and willing instruments of - her ambition. Independently of . these considerations, perhaps, as regards the growing power of Russia, there is not so much reason for jealousy on the part of England as may be imagined. Mr. ETON, to whose. SURVEY or THE Ttrairisu, Rarrinz we have formerly had occasion to refer, contends that it is the policy of this country to assist Russia in expelling the Turks from Europe. 'There is; indeed, a mighty change in the state of Europe since his book was written ; but much of what he states as to the relations of Great Britain and Russia is still true, and prebalgy will ever remain so. Ile says (cap. /0), " Russia, the most powerful, the most natural, .and. the moat useful of oar Allies,' has so intimate a connection of interests ,svith us, that the sonndet policy :must dictate to us an union of design and a co-operation in action. Her commerce with Great Britain is of the utmost consequence to her, as it prOduees a efear*annrial balance in her favour;from a mil lion to a million and half sterling. Vet is the Russian trade Of great importance to England, as she thence draws most of her naval stores, and employs theiCin several hundred vesse 7 s and many thousand seamen.—Russia is not our rival on the -seas, nor we hers on the. Continent. She stands in need of our assistance at sea, and we of hers by land. Her interest dictates to her the same alliances as our interest dictates to us. Ws are rive l4 in nothing. The prosperity of the one country is the increase of strength in the other. With her alliance we can protect our friend s on the Continent, or humiliate our enemies. With our alliance her fleets may sail in Safety to all parts Of the globe, and chastise those who have provoked her. Even in the trade between the countries there is no rivalship. The products, pertly manufactured and partly raw, brought by a long land carriage from distant provinces to her ports (which is in itself a' bcnefiet branch of commerce); find in Our merchants the only rt ir ''' chasers. They transport them in our ships to our own port s ' Neither in this is there any rivalship, for Russia has no ule r cantile navy ; but to compensate that circumstance, the babe': of trade is immensely in her favour. In short, there is ? di single point in which we can be rivals, except it be, w,l, should be,more arduous in cultivating the ties of friendship.
