The Dutch Vice-Admiral Van Brawn died at 'Delft the 17th hest., aged 64. A letter from Saint Thomas's, dated 'the 29th March, states,, that the Government. of Vene 7uela had placed Porto Cabello in a state of '-blockade, and had stationed a force off the port to cause the blockade to be respected. ft was stated yesterday that the Ertiperor of Russia would not leave St. Petersburgh till the 21st instant ; and that this journey, in which the Empresses andthe Grand Du chessof Weimar were to acCompany.ltis Imperial Majesty, has no military. object. The Austrian Observer says not a syllable on the great question of peace or war, and the articles on that subjeCt (See VIENNA under the head of FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE) have been fur nished by Bankers who have lent enormous sums to the different Governments, and who have the greatest interest in the preservation of Peace.— '(Constitutionnel.)

" ROME, MA - y 11.—The Neapolitan squadron and the Austrian flotilla are at this moment -cruising along the coasts of Calabria and Sicily. VIENNA, MAY 14.—The following are ex tracts of letters from Constantinople, dated April 25 : " It is stated that within the last two days, the,indefatigable zeal of M. de Lut2owhas been crowned with success—that the Porte has promised promptly to evacuate Moldavia and Wa lachia, which are to have for the present a Provisional Govern ment, and to observe strictly the Treaties concluded with Ens - sia. It is added, that the necessary orders for the evacuation have been sent off, and that the Representatives of those Pro vinces, who have arrived here, are to have an audience imme- Ziately of Halib Effendi. 'lf these two principal points are really arranged; it may be hoped that a Russian Ambassador will soon arrive, and that the other difficulties will be soon got over. " Our hopes of peace have augmented within the last ten days; the Porte has changed its tone, and begun to flinch. It is said that the Principalities will be evacuated. " It is again-believed that the peace with Russia will not be broken. It is said at Pera, but this news wants confirmation, that the Reis Effendi has declared verbally to the Austrian and English Ministers, that the Grand Seignior was 'not so much discontented but lie would resume the consideration of the. propositions of those Courts, and that an answer might be promptly expected, satisfying them of the mildness, wisdom, and favour of the Grand Seignior. -What appears to give some probability to this news is, that the Boyards who have arrived here from Walachia and Moldavia have been well- received ; they are under surveillance, but they are well ,treated. It should be recollected, however, that the Turks began by treat ing Ali Pacha well after his capitulation. There have been sanguinary scenes at Smyrna in consequence of the conquest of, Scio. " Thee Capitan Pacha collected. at Tsehesme the Asiatics assembled there, and disembarked at Scio the 14th April. The' Greeks assaulted the citadel, and then 'opposed a great re sistance, but they were compelled to yield to numbers, and about 30,000 Turks seized,the whole Island, and put all to fire and sword. The accounts from thence are terrible, and the dreadful scenes of Yvali bear, it is said, but a faint resem blance to the fate which this island, so rich and so flourishing, has experienced. On the 20th April the massacre still con , tinned, women a.id children even were not spared; scarcely could the Capitan Paella save in the castle a few hundreds of the unfortunate inhabitants. The Reis Effendi has published a statement of this victory, in which the loss of the Turks is estimated at 4,000. It is impossible to describe the consterna tion of , the Greek merchants at Constantinople, there being - scarcely a family who had not relations at. Scio." ( Extract of h private Letter.)—" A letter from Constanti nople of the 26th of April states, that the Reis. Effendi had at length transmitted a written answer to the Austrian and Eng. 11th Ministers but that the answer was in substance nothing but a copy of the note of the 28th of February, with - Some mo difications. It is added, that the Porte had refused to evacuate Wallachia and Moldavia before the Greek insurrection should be put down. Salonica was still menaced by the Greeks. A. courier, who left Aleppo the 14th of April, had brought intel ligence that the Schell of Persia and his sons were marching ~ u pon Bagdad with a numerous army." NUREMBERG, MAY 17.—The last accounts from Russia speak of a grand Military Council which was to be held at Mohilow.—Letters from Trieste state, that the citadel of Xthens had -•surrendered to the Greeks by capitulation; the .garrison were allowed to embark. The same .-sadvices speak of the approaching siege of Salo nica, to the environs of which four Greek Chiefs had penetrated. ODESSA, MAY 2.—According to letters from Petersburgb.of the • 26th April, M. de Katos chin, tire Precursor•' of M. de Tatischeff, had brought intelligence from Vienna that the Al lied ,Powers had.given the Porte, with the con sent.of Russia, to the end of this month, to eva cuate Moldavia and Wallachia, declaring at the - same time that &the Principalities were not eva cuated before that period', the Russian armies - would . enter in great force. • TRIETE, MAY 16.—A letter from „ItAliens, ' , dated in the middle of April, states, that it is the determination of all the Greek Chiefs to gain time, and to make a mountain warfare,, l in imita tion of that cif ,Spain, which will be much favour ed by the nature of the localities. .

CONSTANTI . NOPLE,APRiL 2.5.-'---The enterprise• of the Greeks againSt the island of Scio has come to a melancholy conclusion sooner than was ex pected. The authors of, it have received their merited recompense ; the misfortune is, that a population of above 100,000 souls, who would never have revolted of their own accord against a government .by . which they. were treated with especial favour, has been led by them to ruin ; and an island, distinguished beyond all those in the ./Egean sea by cultivation, industry, and riches, 'is given up to misery and desolation.— . - Though we have no details, and the Government has published nothing respecting the expedition, there seems no doubt of the.fact that the Capitan Pacha has in a few days- totally defeated the Greeks (chiefly Samians) who had landed on Scio, and reduced the iithabitants to submission. Ac cording to the accounts we have received, he con veyed to Scio the troops assembled at Tschesme, just at the time that the insurgents were on the point of storming the citadel. As soon as the Captains of the ships of Ipsaraand Hydra, which had 'conveyed the troops to the insurgents, .per ceived the Turkish fleet, they cut their cables, left their Anchors behind, and fled precipitately. It that seven of these ships fell into the hands of -the Turks. After the Capitan Pacha had landed his 'troops, he first tried means of con ciliation; he sent several flags of truce, partly. to the officers of the Greeks 4 partly to the Ma gistrates of the districts'; cries of rebellion, ac companied by cannon-shots, were the only answer he received. A murderous _conflict began ; the insurgents were driven from one strong position, from one battery to another,-,and were pursued with unabated fury into the streets of the town. The massacre is not to be described ; the loss of the Turks in killed and severely wounded is stated at 5,000 men : hence we may infer how great the loss of the-vanquished- must have been. The Catholic inhabitants of the island., who here, • as well as in the other revolted islands, had taken no part in the insurrection, were protected, partly : by the Governor; Vehid Pacha, partly by the Foreign Consuls, who did not experience any insult whateVer. We look forward with real apprehension to the further accounts of these events. It may be easily calculated what bad consequences will have for Smyrna, Scala Nuova, Samos, &c. But even in itself the catastrophe of Scio is one of the most lamentable and fatal, and will, besides, be followed by the ruin of a great, number of French, Italian, German, and English merchants, at Con. stantinople and Smyrna, who had very extensive mercantile connections with the Sciotes. Private accounts say that the High Admiral has ;One to, Samos, and has sent a division of his fleet against Ispara. Great ,alarm presided at Salonichi at the be= ginning of this month, because a Captain Dia mandi, -who had assembled several thousand men in Thessaly, was advancing from Tirhala against the city, and with the help of some vessels of the insurgents stationed in the Gulf of Salonichi, hoped to strike a decisive blow. Yesterday, however, we learnt that Irulobut Mehemed Pacha has attacked him with considerable force, has driven him back and dispersed his troops, and taken part of his cannon and ammunition. Many standards and other trophies .have been brought to Constantinople, -and seven of the re bels publicly beheaded. On the .17th of this month, Stawraki Aristarchi, the temporary Dra goMan of the Porte, was dismissed, and exiled to 8011. His place was . given • tO: Mussulman, which might ,be considered as .something extra ordinary, were it not•explained - by the fact, that the new- Dragoman, .JOchja Effendi, by birth a Greek, of a .well-known family in Corfu, who apostatised to MahometaniSm . in his early - youth, has, Oeen,. for.

For these ten days past our hopes of peace have increased. 'The Porte has changed its tone and mode of proceeding towards Russia , it begins to be mote compliant.

" Art. 4. By,this Article, certain enumerated'artieles, issued in' February last, respecting the duties of Presidents of De partments, are confirmed. " SECTION VI. " On resuming the supreme command under'the title of Pro , tector of Peru, iny intention was to lay down the fundamental' bases on which those must build who might be called to the sublime destiny of making the people happy. I charged my-, splf with the whole authority, that I might :be responsible *4 its use to the whole nation ; I declared with frankness tny de signs, that they might be judged of according to their results ; and from the field of battle, where, united with my companions in arms, I sought the glory of having destrOyed oppression, I come to place myself in the front yf a difficult administration, and a vast responsibility. At the bottom of my heart are in scribed the motives of the resolution' whicli I adopted' on the 4th of August, and the statute which I am going now, to pro mulgate at once explains and sanctions them. " I might have exalted the liberality of my principles in this provisional statute, by making magnificent declarations about the rights of the nation, and by increasing ' the list of public functionaries to give the pomp of greater popularity to existing forms. But, convinced that an exuberant display of praise worthy maxims is not ,at first the best Meads of establishing them, I have confined myself to the practical ideas which may and should be realized. " Art 1. The Municipalities shall exist in the same form as hitherto, and shall be presided over by the President of the De partment.", Art. 2. The dections of the Membertof the Municipality shall from the - succeeding year forward be popular, according to a regulation which will be separately given. "NVbile there are enemies in the country, and till theyeople can form the first ideas of an independent Government of them selves, 1 shall administer the directorial power of the State ; the properties of which, without being the same as those of the legislative and executive authority, are 'analogous to them. But I shall abstain from interfering with the solemn exercise of the judiciary funetions, because their independence is the only true safeguard of the liberty of the people, and it is of no ConsequencetO boast of philanthropic principles when the same individual who makes and executes the law Alikewise he who applies it: " Before exacting from the people the oath of obedience, I proceed to swear before the whole nation to observe and to exe cute the statute which I give as a guarantee of my intentions. " Those who, with the experience of the past, meditate on our present situation, and are most in the habit of analyzing the influence of administrative measures, will observe in. the simplicity of the principles which which I have adopted, the proof that I do not offer more than I think convenient to fulfil( that my object is to do good, and not to frustrate it ; and that knowing, in fine, the extent of my responsibility, I have en deavoured to regulate my duties by the law of circum stances, in order that I may not be exposed to fail in their'per formance. " With such sentiments, and relying on the effectual co operation of my fellow.citizens, I venture to hope that I shall be able in time to Lay down the power which I have taken upon myself, with the consciousness of having faithfully exercised it. If, after having freed Peru from its oppressors, I shall go to seek, in private life, my last felicity, I shall consecrate the rest of my days in contemplating the beneficence of the Great Author of the Universe ; and in renewing my vows for" the continuance of his propitious influence on the lot of future ge nerations. " SECTION I. " Art. 1. The C:.tholic Apostolic Roinan religion is the re:. ligion of the State. The Government considers it one of its first duties to maintain' and preserve it by all means within die reach of hutnati prutlince.

" Art. 2., All those who profess the Christian religion, and dissent in some principles from the religion of the State, may obtain permission from the Government, on consultation with the Council of State, to use the ,right, which may suit them, while their conduct is conformable to public order. " Art. 3. No one can become a public functionary, unless he professes the religion of the State. " SECTION " Art. 1. The supreme directing power of the free departments of the state of Peru resides now in the Protector. His powers emanate from the empire of necessity—from the force of reason —from the exigence of the public good. " Art. 2. The Protector of Peru is Generalissimo of the forces by land and by sea ; and it being his princip . al duty to give freedom to all the towns which compose an integral part-of the territory of the state, he shall have the power to augment or to diminish the armed force as he shall think proper. " Art. 3. He shall have the power of imposirqcontributions, -of establishing duties, of exacting loans to defray the public charges, on consulting with the Co uncil of State. " Art. 4. He shall form regulations for tbe better organiza. tion of the land and naval forces, including the militia of the state. " Art. 5. He will regulate internal and external trade con formably to the liberal principles on which the prosperity of the country essentially depends. " Art. 6. He will make the reforms which he may judge ne cessary in all the departments of the public administration, abolishing the offices which existed under the ancient regime, and creating new ones. " Art. 7. He will establish the-provisional mint of the State, but he is not to alter the weight which the coin of Peru has hitherto preserved. " Art. 8.

The Council of State, shall hold its sittings in the palace. The Protector, when convenient, will attend in order to resolve, after consultation anc deliberation, on difficult points. " Art.

At all events, the presence of the fleet before Callao was no, longer required ; the character of the Governmerit of Chili and that of Genera San Martin are a secure pledge that this • unfortunate quarrel will have no detrimental influence on tha cause of independ ence, nor Weaken the good understanding which policy and mutual interest will always preserve between Perri and Chili. ""LIMA, Nov. 30.—San Martin, who. is. very unpopular: has adopted the flourishing title of Protector of Peru, a nd go verns the country by a military despotism. YOu will pre; bably have heard of the rupture between him and Lord Cochrane. • " After the evacuation of Callao by the Royalist army, hIS Lordship . applied for money to pay his officers and men' and received for answer that there was no money, although it was well known to his Lordship that about 600,000 dollars had been embarked on board of private ships and Chili trans ports by San Martin for safety, in case of being surprised by the Royal army. Ills Lordship was of opinion that this money would be equally safe on board of his frigate, and consequent ly removed it thither, with which he paid his ships, and sent part of it to Chili. San Martin had by this time got a flag ef his own, and declared Peru independent, which his bordshiP conceived dependent on Chili, and therefore would no longer obey any orders from the General. Every intrigue was used t o induce the seamen and office rs t o enter t h e P eruv i an se rvice, and even to hoist the flag on board th e Chili s hip s . S o me of who have always been in opp osi ti on t o hi s L or d s hip, inn' mediately joined, and a great numb er o f th e seamen w ho had been long confined on board wished for a change: they are , however, sorry for having made it. Not one of them has been paid by this - Government : whereas those that remained with his Lordship have been paid to a day. - " JANUARY I.—This place remains perfectly quiet, arrl the existing Government here finds itself so strong; that a very re' spectable'exPedition, consisting of 3,000 men, is being Null' ped, and will sail from Callity-iout a week, destined to th,e coast of Africa, in order, to attack Arequipa, and thus, if posal ble; terminate the war in Peru. " General San Martin is still at the head of the Governmen t ' with the title of Protector, but it is thought probable that be will shortly relinquish the supreme command in favour of a na tive of this country, of distinguished family. " Lord Cochrane . , by the hist aCcounts from Guayaquil, w as about to , sail from that port with his squad ron , to run down thiei coast of Mexieo, and cruise for the t wo Sp an i s h f r i gates , which still remain in those seas."

The following• are extracts ,of letters brought from South America by his Majesty's ship Suiierb " SANTIAGO DE CHILI, JAN. 16.—Within these few days we have here S. Abreu, a Spanish Commissioner, who came by way of Panama : he has been received with great attention by our, Government, and has had several conferences with Mini sters ; but it is difficult to guess what Spain can expect to gain at present by negociation, after having lost so many opportu nities,beicrre her South American possessions were irretrievably lost to her. . .... - " Our Administration pursues its course of retrenchment and economy'; , the credit of Government therefore stands high ; and should any temporary embarrassment oblige it again to issue paper money, it willno doubt be readily taken at par. " The conduCt of Lord Cochrane, in his dispute with Gen. San Martin, is much commended,- although his Lordship's 'zeal for Chili, his adopted country, has perhaps Made him too ready to censure General San Martin, and to impute sinister motives to him.

The capitulation of Callao, concluded without the concurrence of Lord Cochrane, and restoring all Spanish pro perty, widened the breach still more. The Chilian fleet, the interests of which were entirely forgotten in the capitulation, showed a mutinous spirit, especially the foreign seamen, who had been buoyed•up with the hope of immense prize money at Callao. They were clamorous for the arrears of their pay, and Lord Cochrane found himself com pelled to satisfy them .but of the money that had been put boanl-the transports for the sake of greater security, while the Spanish forces' were, near the coast. This step was the more juitifiable, as the Treasury of Lima certainly ought to haVe'pdid the arrears due to the fleet, on account of the Go vernment-of Chili, which must have claims for larger sums on Lima.
