FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE MASSACRES IN CYPRUS. TRIESTE, OCT. 9..—Since the dreadful mas •sacres which took place In the island-of Cyprus ;the summer before last, the want of news from that island made ns imagine that tranquillity had succeeded these first excesses. We indulged in 'this .pleasing idea with the more confidence, as there has never been the smallest symptom or in dication of insurrection in the island of Cypriis : a letter written by the English Consul to one of his relations, ,who has resided in our city since the troubles of the East, has dispelled this illu sion. This letter, which certainly cannot be sus pected, is to the following effect : " Cyprus, Aug. 15. " Sixty.two towns and villages in this unhappy island have wholly disappeared : only their ruins remain to attest the bar barity of their destroyers, and yet the rage of these blood stained monsters is not yet appeased. A band of wretches very lately repaired to Morphon, where they destroyed every thing with fire and sword : the women and children were for the most part taken, and confined for several days in private houses, without food : these who were not destroyed by hunger, were burnt together with the houses. Every house is marked by murders in all parts of the island. The Christians are hunted like wild beasts. " It is chiefly upon the churches and the Ministers of the Christian religion that these stupid Turks continue to exercise their fury. At St. Niassa, after killing or taking prisoners the inhabitants in the time of peace, they burnt the images of the church, and transformed the edifice into a stable. At Chryso- Rojatissa, the church ,of Aspro-Panaght was changed into a mosque. Very lately, the Zabit (Sub-Governor) of Cyrenia, at the head of a band of furious wretches, entered the convent of Panteleimon, and after having saddled and bridled the monks, like beasts of burden, they mounted on their backs, and so rode about the country. Some of these unfortunate men ex pired from fatigue. The Governor of the island, a man equally ferocious and stupid, lately sent his coves (the performer of his orders) to the monastry of Kicou, where some caloyers (anchor ets) still remained. This Officer, no less cruel than his master, made several of these poor solitaires expire in tor tures; among others, Father Sylvester, who was known through out this island. The rest dispersed, leaving the monastry de serted. " The Turks then set fire to the environs. The conflagra tion continued 23 days, gradually extending to all the neigh bouring districts. Several fine forests of fruit-trees, vineyards, tkc., have fallen a prey to the flames. The damage done by this fire is incalculable. A tract of country thirty-five leagues in extent, formerly so remarkable for its high cultivation and fertility, is now nothing more than a heap of ashes. " That part of the island which is occupied by the troops of Mahomed Ali, Pacha of Egypt, alone enjoys tranquillity. Salili Bey, who comm a nds fo r th e Pa c ha, makes his troops ob serve the strictest discipline. If Mahomed Ali should with draw his troops, as there is reason to fear, there would be no longer any security even for the Franks." (It is the English Consul who speaks.) EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM SMYRNA, SEPT : 1. " The desolation of Scio, which owes part of its misfortunes to the imprudent zeal of Mr. D., who drew the Greeks into the snares of the Turks by publishing a deceitful amnesty, in which we will suppose he believed, cannot be compared with the ravage,; exercised in Cyprus by the Mahometa,ns. We long refused to credit the new crimes which have deluged with blood the territories of Paphos, Amathont, and Famagousta ; but the Neil is torn, and the enemy of the Christian world no longer conceals his monstrous deeds. Since the month of July, 25,000 Christians, of all ages and both sexes, have fallen under the hands of the executioners—that is, the Turkish soldiery ; for the stake or the gibbet would not suffice for the impatient cruelty of the circumcised tigers. Seventy-four villages, containing a population of 13,000 Christians, are no more ; the old men and the married wetuen have perished.; the rest have been sold to be conveyed into thiinterier of Asia Minor, except the chil ..dren under tOur years .of, age, who have been killed or thrown Churches,. into the sea. The urches, the monasteries, in a diStrict of 40 square leagues, 'have 'disappeared ; the priests and monks, without exception, .4w...received the crown of martyrdom, and ; ,,perished iii dreadfitltorinents.. Yet there has been no insur • rection in Cyprus ; but the will of the Sultan has sworn _the' ex tirpatiOn of Christianity ; 11e strikes, and the EgeanSea'arid the '.islands are dyed with blood. . " Be not surprised if the . niiserable journal published here does.not disclose such crimeS n ; - :they would. injure the cause it embrac&l, and the wish of the Turks, of whom he is the echo, is to see the Greeksi,tinnihilated. I will point out another tine the men who are base enough to have speculated on the Misfortunes of the Christians, the fortunes acquired by the sale of an asylum and protection to the wretched, and the monopoly Of blood exercised in these days of carnage and mourning. It is not yet time to speak. Above all, I must not omit to men tion that the part of Cyprus occupied by one of the commanders Of Mahorned Ali, Paella of Egypt, is tranquil; the Christians are protected there-; accordingly, it is publicly said at Constan tinople and here, that the Viceroy of Egypt is a renegado, a traitor, and that as soon as it can be done, he will have the . merited fate of Ali, Pacha of Joannina." Parrs, OCT. 2g.—There are persons who re peat without ceasing, and with extraordinary effrontery, that the Charter, the fundamental law of our liberties and our rights, has recognised and sanctioned nothing of all which was willed and done during the Revolution. The state of France in 1789, compared to its state in 1814, and to what it now is, replies by itself to this assertion which designates bad faith. All the great estates belonged to the noblesse and the clergy, who, independent of their land, had also . a part of the . land of the third estate, that is, of all the rest of the land. These two orders paid no one tax, and they levied to-;es on every body else. There was thus no sort of equality among the citizens ; the one class had privileges—the other.sufferings. ^Some were opulent, but the greater number were wretchedly poor. Such was the result of an order of things arising from force ; such were the causes of the inevitable revolution. Now see the effects. All those convents and abbeys which possessed the best land of every village have disappeared ; a great part of that of the emigrants has passed into a multitude of hands; divided, separated, cut into small portions, it has became the property of those who cultivate it; moderate wealth is thus every where spread—abundance is now seen in the place of poverty—the melioration of the situation of the fathers has turned to the pro .fit of their sons ; born with property, they know they will be land-owners, and their chil dren after them. They have besides been able to provide education, which their fathers were unable to give them, for knowledge is spread by property being divided ; and this is one of the reasons why the friends of privilege regard the division of property as one of the greatest scourges which has been bequeathed to us by the *Revolution.—(Le Constitutionnel.) Our oligarchical dreamers deceive themselves, or pretend to deceive themselves, upon this subject. There has been in France a tranquillity which has been the effect of force, but which they suppose to be the effect of lassitude. It will be -said that there exists much indifference in political matters, be cause persons think much of their own private affairs ; because an immense number of landholders imagine that multitudes of men are employed, and, who living without a necessity for the assistance of others, do not feet it necessary to meddle with public affairs, of which indeed they receive only very limited accounts ; and living in the midst of their fields and these flocks, they appear to brave all political disturbances, and laugh at all factions. This will be the case as long as civil rights re main pure and unsullied. Frenchmen appear to care little for others ; but let not too much reliance be placed upon this con fidence—let it not be confounded with that apathy which sup poses a forgetfulness of all power and of all dignity. Let any attempt be made to menace their civil rights, and it will be seen that they instantly reed to mind their political rights7it is then that you will really agitate this peaceable and laborious nation, which gives so noble a refutation to her calumniators, in the attitude which she maintains,' and the Budget which she pays. There are many projects which no one dared yet to avow ; among those which have been timidly thrown out as matters of trial, are to be found those of changing our Civil Code, re establishing entails, and the right of eldership, probably under other denominations; for it is supposed that by not mentioning as in former times the ancient crder of things which it is in tended to restore, France will be made to believe that they are not the same. More respect ought to be entertained for a na tion who, it is known, is not without information. Re.estahlish entails ? Is it for a moment seriously thought of, when it is known that in all Monarchies the families who have been cursed with this odious favour, have prayed to be relieved from it. Were the entails, which quality legally for the Chamber of Peers, tolerated for the other citizens (for it is still a great question whether they are unconstitutional), could they obtain greater success ? Row many of them do we see formed in the Departments, or even in our capital ? We may say, not one. The reason of this is very simple. Our fortunes are not sufficiently large to make one child very rich without making the others very poor. It will then be necessary to give commissions and rich benefices to the younger sons, and large abbeys to the daughters; but the Clergy have no longer livings, and the Monasteries have ceased to possess properties. The younger sons of great families will care but little about mendi cant orders. What then will become of the law of recruiting, and of military advancement ? Let us not deceive ourselves. The Civil Aristocracy, such as it is understood, should be sup , ported by the Military Aristocracy, and in France this is im possible ; this is proved not only by the laws, but also by the state of society • and if we could enter into all the developments of which this subject is susceptible, we should demonstrate it with a force and a clearness which would impress itself upon the minds of all. The entails which it is wished to establish would, doubtless], be at the will of the parties--every one would be at liberty to constitute them. 'Well, then! to prove unanswerably this law, I would be contrary to our manners; it is only necessary to state that the Code, as it now exists, authorises fathers to augment the fortune of one child at the expence of the others, and yet that in scarcely any instance is this power acted upon. What interest could a person have in creating an entail, which, becoming in alienable, would be rendered useless ; which can no more be mortgaged, which loses all the advantages which other property affords, while it remains subject to the same expences ? Oh ! if they were exempted from all taxes and impositions, we can readily conceive that they would establish entails, but politi cians know well that this would he absurd, even fanatics them selves would not dare to believe it possible ; will they say that all fathers in the enjoyment of a fortune amounting to a sum de termined by the law, shall be bound to form an entail ? or will they adopt .the project of a Noble Peer, who always sees France as he has seen England, and who desires that the electoral right should be hereditary in each family, and always enjoyed by the eldest son ? This would be an evident violation of the right of property. It would be a tyranny of the law, which compelled a father to disinherit sonic of his children. We repeat it, for tunes are too moderate to support such a legislation. It would be subversive of all social relations—but even in supposing it'' possible, it would not satisfy the party. There would always be a great number of the people of the Revolution, who would enter the aristocracy, and a great number of the people of the ancien regime who would become democrats. The opinions of both would be in contradiction to their interests. It would cer tainly be the most complete and the most anarchical confusion. I Thus before thinking of the execution of such a project, it would be necessary, if not to destroy some fortunes, at least to reform some others. Already the politicians Des Debuts have I pointed out to us a project coming from London, which would tend to form a sinking fund, with which they would buy gra dually, and on the best conditions, all the property of the emi grants. The author is far from wishing to exercise the least constraint; lie even says, that it might be purchased dear, even so dear, that the State would return twenty times more than it received. This beautiful Eutopia evidently comes from an Englishman, who probably has never passed the Channel—. The conception is so absurd, and the execution so impossible, that the politicians Des Debats are themselves obliged to confess it. Thus, whatever attempt may be made, on whatever side they may turn themselves, they meet a wall of brass. It is ne cessary to beat a retreat, and to fall back upon the Budget.— (Le Constitutionnel.) It is generally believed here that our Court' has decided not to take any part whatever in a war against Spain, should it take place, which, by the way, is considered impossible. This deter mination has prevented our Court from continu ing the negociations for the new Loan, which cer tainly will not now take place. We find the following news in the Journal de Toulouse:- 44 The courier of the 15th has at length brought us news from Barcelona, dated sth October. General Mina has not, it is said, fired a single shot; he is occupied wholly in distributing the command of the troops. He has indicated to each Chief the district which he is to attend to, while he himself, with his division, will proceed to every quarter where his presence may be necessary." The arrival of troops is still continued. They unite themselves as they come up to the divisions to which they are appointed. In Barcelona new corps are forming. The Constirtutionals are push ing their preparations with activity. It is thought that the army of Catalonia will amount to 30,000 effective men before the end of the month. The Dominican Priests fled from Barcelona the moment they heard of the arrest of P. Mahones, who has been confined in the citadel, and who, it is said, was the most useful courier of the Royalists. Some soldiers of the Faith appeared at Sellent, for the purpose of enjoying the benefit of the amnesty. On the 29th, 80 mules, loaded with flour, left Mauresa, for Calaf, and other convoys of a similar nature are in preparation. Some unfortunate persons, arrested at Puygterra, have been shot. We have already spoken of the Treaty of Offensive Alliance which is in negociation be►tween Spain and Portugal. The latter country, in the event of an invasion of the Peninsula, is to furnish an auxiliary army of 30,000 men. A Decree of the King of Naples, dated the 24th of September, contains some little shades of commutation in the sentence of death passed by the Decree of the 10th. Eermenegilde Piccioli, Jean Pinedo, and Louis Gironda are condemned to 19 years in irons ; Antoine Nappo, Francois Campanile, Raphael Esperte, Pascal Pesce, and Thomas Francoine, to 18 years in irons ;—Joseph Macdonald, to a perpetual banishment from the kingdom. Every thing great or having the appearance of utility, every thing which contributes to amelio rate our social condition, and add to the happi ness of the huma❑ race, naturally finds a zealous supporter in the Noble Lord Erskine. After having protected the liberty of the press against the encroachments of pow er,afterhaving effectively contributed, in junction with our venerable Gregoire, to abolish the Slave Trade,* after hav ing struggled, without ceasing, to reform the English penal code, and having always put him self in the breach whenever it became necessary to protect the weak against the usurpations of the powerful, he now enters the lists afresh, and honourably raises his voice in favour of the un fortunate Greeks. The Letter which he has published in their defence is addressed to Lord LiverpooLt To judge from what has recently passed, Mr. * Lord Erskine was Lord Chancellor of England when the Abolition of the Slave Trade was decreed by Parliament.— ( Note of the Editor. ) t Letter of Thomas Lord Erskine to the Earl of Liverpool, on the subject of the Greeks. Translated from the English. Paris : Firman Didat, Rue Jacob, No. 24. Canning appears to have adopted in part the plan commenced by Lord Erskine, and it is hoped that he may entirely adopt it. We see with pleasure the zeal which the Eng lish begin to feel for the cause of the Greeks.— The declarations of authority in the lonian Islands are no longer in opposition to facts.— Some steps more, and perhaps public opinion will at last make itself heard. We profit by this occasion to remind our rea ders of the subscription opened at M. Firmiu Didot's, in favour of the Greeks. M. Vescontre, a merchant of Boulogne, has not been the last to answer to our call. We shall not, we hope, wound his modest benevolence by announcing that he has contributed 100 francs.—(Constitu tionnel.) ZANTE, SEPT. 14.—The Turks of the island of Candia, after receiving reinforcements from Egypt, had left the town of Candia and of Canee, and began to act on the offensive, but they only remained in the field six weeks. After suffering two complete defeats, they again took refuge in their fortified places, where they are again block aded. The number of troops they lost ex ceeds the number of the reinforcements they re ceived. [We have already reported the events which took place in the Peloponnesus, from the entry of the Turks till their defeat near St. George.— The letters which came to hand to-day give new details of this important event, and we shall sketch a picture of the situation of the remains of the Turkish army since that period. We believe it will not be uninteresting to give an authentic notice of the events which accompanied and fol lowed their•defeat.]--(Constitutionnel.) On 19th July, the Turks passed the Isthmus of Corinth, and took the direction of Argos and Napoli di Romani. General Colocotroni on his part, at the first news of the entrance of the enemy into Livadia, gave the command of the troops of Patras to his colleague, Sessim, and moved himself with 3,000 men to the interior of the peninsula, where he made a general levy of the inhabitants. July 23d, this General, at the head of 16,000 men, attacked the enemy, whom he met in the plains of Argos. The Turks were beaten, and fell back on Carvathy. The 24th and 26th they were pursued very closely, and harrassed during the whole of their retreat. They were again attacked at the defile of Trete, and completely defeated; they lost 2,000 men, and much baggage. —Being closely pursued, they entrenched them selves at Saint George, w here they even received some reinforcements from Patras and Lepanto. The army of the Greeks was also increased by the great number of volunteers who came from all parts in the early part of August—it amounted to more than 25,000 men. Colocotroni then caused the passes, both interior and exterior, of the Isthmus of Corinth to be occupied, and cut off the retreat of the enemy. The 6th and 7th of August the Turks endea voured to force a passage; iu the combat of the 6th they were attacked on all points and repulsed with great loss on their part; in the battle of the 7th, which was more bloody, 3,000 Turks perished on the field of battle. The Cominander in-Chief Ali Pacha, formerly Grand Vizier, was one of the number ; Mabmud Dram-ali (a native of Drama,) Pacha of Thessaly, was taken prisoner, with several Beys of that province and of Mace donia. The remainder of the Turkish army dispersed in three different directions. A corps of 2,500 took the road to Corinth, and was pursued. Another corps of 2,000 fled towards liagion- Oros, from where it endeavoured, out of despair, to gain the road to Napoli di Romani. It was surprised by Nicitas near Berbati, and cut in pieces. A very small part threw themselves into the mountains and gained Corinth. _ - A third, and the most considerable corps, com posed chiefly of Albanians, could do nothing else in its desperate situation than to precipitate itself towards Tripolitza. It was overtaken between Agladocampos and the Lake of Cerna, attacked, and left more than 1,000 men on the field—the remainder surrendered at discretion. Among the prisoners was Ali Pacha, a native of Napoli di Romani and Vizir of Triccala, and Asian Denza, a very enterprising Albanian Chief. The prison ers were conducted to Tripolitza, and declared that Chourschid Pacha had given i❑ advance six months pay to every soldier (about five hundred piastres) to determine them to undertake this expedition. The Turks who saved themselves at Corinth do not amount to move than 5,000 men, the me lancholy ruin of an army of more than 20,000. Deprived of all hopes of succour, they asked four times to capitulate, on condition of being allowed to go into Thessaly. Colocotroni always replied, that the only capitulation they could obtain was to lay down their arms and surrender at dis cretion. The loss which the Porte has sustained this summer in men and money has been very great. Of the whole army which the Seraskier of Ito melia (Chourschid) had assembled at great ex pence in Thessaly, and which amounted to above 50,000 men, there are only two small corps left, viz. that at Corinth and another at Larissa. The extraordinary pay which Chourschid gave this army must have exhaused the treasures of Ali Paella of Janina. Three naval expeditions, and some other armaments by land, must have given a sensible blow to the treasures of the Sultan. VIENNA, OCT. 11. — We are assured that the Duke of Wellington has instructions from the Cabinnet of St. James's, of a most pacific nature, and in consequence quite opposed to the wishes which have been here openly expressed by some Ultras, who talk of nothing else but in terfereing in the affairs of the Peninsula with arms in their hands, and dispersing the Constitu tional assemblies of Madrid and Lisbon by the lance of Cossacks. The system of Great Britain tends on the contrary to preserve peace in the West as well as in the East. lIEIDELBURG, OCT. B.—Letters from Prussia state that the new provincial organization will be introduced into Prussia in the c our s e o f th e y ear 1823. Their general tendency is to insure to the Nobility, who form in general the class of great landowners, a preponderant influence, in order to check what are called the inroads of democracy. FRANKFORT, OCT. 14.—We learn that new in structions have been sent from London to the Government of the lonian Islands. It should seem that there will be a great relaxation in the rigorous measures adopted by SirThoma3 Maitland towards the lonilns, who had shewn themselve3 the warmest partisans of the Insurgent Greeks. It is even said that many strangers will be made among the Local Authorities in Corfu, and other great towns in the Seven Islands.—The Austrian paper currency continues to rise ; and there is every rea son to believe that the general peace of Europe will be preserved.—According to a letter from Semlin, information has transpired of secret negociations commenced by England and Turkey of a very different nature from those which have been carrying on at Constantinople for this last year. It is said these negociations relate to the hostile conduct of the Court of Te heran, which has lately sent away all the British agents in Persia.—Before the departure of Prince Metternich for Verona, the Austrian Cabinet addressed a circular letter to all the Governments of the German Confederation, containing a po sitive assurance that the transactions of the Con• gress at Verona would have no relation whatever to the affairs of Germany. HAGUE, OCT. 23.—The Il aminirgh Corre spondent, of October 18, contains the following article, dated from. Vienna, Oct. 9 : " Last week Don Cameros, the Spanish Charge d'Affaires at this Court, whose conduct has gained him the approbation even of those Members of the Diplomatic Body who are other. wise not favourably disposed towards the present system in Spain, received dispatches by a courier from Madrid, a ft er which he obtained a conference of Prince Metternich. After the arrival of the Duke of Wellington, Don Carneros waited upon him also, and is said particularly to have spoken of the manner in which the present French Ministry acts towards Spain. To-morrow Don Carneros will dispatch a couri er t o Madrid. " Mr. Irving, the banker, and Mr. Ward, an officer under Government, arrived here from London a few days ago. They set out for Verona the day after to-morrow, for the purpose, it is said, of obtaining the re-payment of the sums lent to Austria in the years 1796 and 1797. " Prince Alexander of Hohenlohe is already appointed Dean of Presburg. " In a few days Lord Londonderry sets out for Verona, and thence to England. Lord Strangford likewise leaves us in a few days." BRUSSELS, OCT. 21. OPENING OF THE SESSION OF THE STATES-GENERAL FOR 1822. His Majesty went to the House in the usual State at one o'clock, and having taken his seat on the Throne, with the Prince of Orange on his right hand, and Prince Frederick on his left, de livered the following Speech : __. . " High and Mighty Lords-.-It is agreeable for me to be able, at the opening of the Session, to give you the renewed assur ance that our Foreign Relations have been constantly maintain ed by amicable negotiations. We have reason to be grateful for the precious advantage of peace which we continue to enjoy, and may indulge the hope of preserving this blessing. " The internal prosperity of the kingdom has increased ; the productions of the soil are in general abundant, and their low prices have been advantageous to the lower classes ; mean time many farmers suffer by them : by my orders a special inquiry has been made into their interests, considered in relation to those of the consumers; and the account which has been given me is the object of my serious consideration." His Majesty proceeded to observe, that commerce and navi gation, though not restored to their former equilibrium, offered the most favourable prospects ; the arts and sciences flourish ; many important public works have been undertaken ; the sys tem of reform adopted for the prisons is in progress. With respect to the Colonies, their prosperity is daily increasing, and the happiness of the people becoming more secure ; and since the reduction of Palembang, there has not been the slightest interruption of public tranquillity. His Majesty expects that the Assembly will complete the financial measures commenced in the last Session. The Budget will be founded on the new system, which commences with the ensuing year, and measures are taking that the transition may be easy. II is Majesty is de sirous to lessen the burden of the subject, and the estimate to be presented will be below that of the present year. His Ma jesty is convinced that the Assembly will proceed calmly in the great work of national legislation, in which such satisfac tory progress was made last Session. The code of commerce will shortly be laid before the Chambers, on whose co-operation in promoting the welfare of his beloved subjects his Majesty relies with implicit confidence. His Majesty after delivering this Speech left the Assembly in the same state as he came. SPAIN. The decisive events announced a few days ago as putting an end to the attempts of the Spanish Loyalists, are not confirmed. 'l'he following are the latest accounts:— " SARAGOSA, Oc•r. 9.—General Eroles has collected seven thousand men in the environs of Tremp, and has used all his efforts to tempt Zasco del Ville into the mountains where Ta buenca met with his death,. but after sending forward a recon noissance to 'Temp, the Constitutional General remained at Montagna on the sth. His division is about 5,000 men. The two parties have not yet had a battle. There have, however, been some skirmishes of little importance in the neighbourhood of Cardona. " TOULOUSE, OCT. I6.—We have received from our corres pondent on the frontiers of the Arrege the following details : " The last letters from Puycerda say, that Mosen Anton in going to Seo-d-Urgel with an escort of a dozen lancers, was on the point of being captured in the environs of Belver by a party of 60 or 80 men lying in ambuscade near this place.— Mosen Anton avoided the ambuscade and arrived sate at his destination. It is supposed that the persons who composed this scheme belonged to Spanish Cerdania.' " The Editor of the Regency Journal has fallen . into disgrace. Another has been appointed. Two numbers have been pub lished under the new Editor. The first contains no news; the second says, that Mina attacked Romanillo at Castelfollit, was repulsed, and forced to fall back on his position at Calaf; that Zarco-del-bulee has abandoned the position of Maglanele and gone to Barbastro. This Journal adds, that 600 or 700 of his men have deserted. I shall make no reflections on this note, which is, at least, very extraordinary, and confine myself to observing, that, letters from Urgel of the 11th make no men tion of it, and that travellers have been equally silent con cerning any such important occurrences.—(Journal Politique du Toulouse. PORTUGAL. CORTES.-SITTING OF OCTOBER 6. Accounts were communicated, brought by the French galley Eliza, in 35 days from Pernambuco, and by the Portuguese brig Gloria, in - 10 days from Fayal. Among the passengers on board the Eliza was the Brigadier Jose Correa de Mello, Mili tary Gbvernor of the province of Pernambuco, who stated that on the 3d of August there had been a general rising of the - people and troops of Pernambuco, in which they proclaimed unrestricted obedience to his Highness, as Prince Regent, and perpetual defender of Brazil, and to the general consti tutional legislative assembly of that kingdom : that all Euro peans suspected of adhering to Portugal were immediately ar rested and put into the prisons of the fortress, in order, it was said, to save them from the popular fury. The Governor, there fore, judged it proper to give up his command, which he resigned to the officer of highest rank in the province, Colonel Jose Carnello Pessoa, who was afterwards suspended by the Provisional Junta. On the 29th of the same month, when he was already embarked, the expedition arrived, which was dis patched from Rio de Janeiro, against Bahia, composed of the frigate Union, and the corvette Maria de Gloria Carolina, and Liberal, commanded by the Chief of Division Lamare. This officer, having learnt at sea the expedition of the Calypso cor vette, feared to enter Bahia in a hostile manner ; and proceed ing immediately to Alagoas, there landed, with ammunition, the commander of the troops of the expedition Labatour, and the next in command ; and this was all he knew on the sub ject, having sailed on the 30th. He delivered two bags of dispatches. The Captain of the Gloria said, that there had been a tumult at the beginning of last month in the island of Terceira, about 2,000 persons having assembled to oppose the exportation of corn from that island, but the tumult was soon appeased by the Governor and Corregidor. .....o.''
