TRANRIONT, NOVEMBER 4.
the Speetaletar Oriextal says, that a caravan of
7,000 persons, going to Mecca. had been furiously
attacked by the Wechabites, alto had plundered
the goods, and killed above half of the pilgrims. It
hdds, that the sun of the Pacha of Egypt is said
to be going to undertake an expedition against this
formidable horde.

The same Journal contains the two following
articles:—

Sdlrna, September 27.

By the last certain accounts from the Archipe-
lago, the Turkish fleet has gone towards Hydra.
A heavy caohonade was even heard on that side,
which began on the 21st, and continued two days,
but without our being able to learn the cause. It
is supposed to have been • battle between the
Turkish fleet and the islanders. The fleet, when
it was seen steering towards Hydra, consisted of
106 vessels, some of which were transports. The
flotilla of the Insurgents was at that time eight
miles from the Turkish vessels.

Time, August 11.

Spezzia is entirely deserted, all the families hav-
ing retired to Hydra. Forty-five Ipsarist vessels
arrived st this island on the 17th August, where
they are determined to waist. Two batteries of 12
guns each, defend the entrance of the little port of
Hydra, and a large culverine near a mill. Two
other small ports in the island are also defenchd by
batteries. This determination of the Greeks to de.
fend themselves on a send bank against all the
force of the Ottoman Empire has something great
in it.

Bayonne Papers to the 6th instant have arrived.
Rumour appears to have been as actively employed
in Madrid as in Paris and London, in exertions to
depress the credit of the Spanish Government.

OFFICE OF " THE AMERICAN." OCTOBER 17.
(FROM 011 t CORRESPONDENT AT BALTIMORE.)
REPUBLIC or COLOMBIA.—Captain Buckley,
of the schooner t*)a•RNets, at this port, in nineteen
day, from La Guilts, reports that the day previous
to his sailing, news had reached there of the capitate
of Marscaybo. by General Morales, without oppo-
sition. General Prez, with 5.000 men, bad sailed
revers! dais before for Maracsybo; and General
Soublette was to leave Conceits the nest day for
the same destination. with • like number of men.
The fleet sailed from La Guars for Maracaybo a
week before.

Since the above was in type, we have received a
letter uod a file of papers by thii arrival, from an
attentive ftiend at La Guayrs, from the former of
which the following extracts are mode :

" LA GUATRA. SEPTlllita 24.

" We have no iir•s of great impoatatice here.
A report is in circulation (and 1 fear two true) that
Morales has got possession of the town of Maracay bo.
The forts are still is the hauds of the Colombians,
who will soon receive strong reinforcemente. If
Morales has in any manner succeeded, it is very un-
fortunate, for it will, no doubt, protract the war ;
not that tie can remain possessor of his conquests,
but because he will murder, burn, and plunder,
and thereby obtain resources to continue his depre-
dations. Such an extent of coast as Colombia
offers, must be vulnerable in many points, and
Morales is now reduced to a marauding war, which,
with the assistance of the frigate, he may carry on
with some success,

" At Camino, io the department of the Orinoco,
a plot has lately been discovered, the development
of which shews that the negrnes, sided by some
whites, mitite Spaniards, intended to murder the
principal inhabitants, plunder the town, and make
for the seaboard, where they expected to get off in
some vessel with their booty, and reach one of the
West India Islands. Through the vigilance of that
excellent officer, General Bermuda, who com-
mand+ that department, their abominable plan has
Leen frustrated, aid I hope the guilty will be
brought to puoishnient. General Bermudez ism.
wedsottly repaired 'hither, and has succeeded is
securing all the ringleaders, and most of their

agents.
“ livery thing is quiet here, and we couaider
ourselves quite safe."
