Manaln, (CT. 12.
There is not the least doubt that our Government has received
three importent Notes from the Cabinet of the Tuileries, the object
of which is the restoration of peace and tranquillity in the Penin.
auto, and the establishment or a form of Government which may
he capable of conciliating and satisfying all parties ; and there is
also not the lewd doubt that the benevolent intentions of his Ma-
jesty Charles X. will be, like those of his august predeceesor, fruv-
usted, if his Minioters do not use a more energetic language, and
adopt a line of conduct vigorous and decisive.
Whilst notes are inerchaneing for the purpose of effecting those
improvements which are closely coedited to the correspondence of
the Ministers, decrees are published devirnetive of all hope of Iran-
' quillity and order. It is even said that the Ineuisition is to be
weedily restored, and that its guidance is to be entrusted to H. P.
Veles, a bare-legged capuchin, now Bishop of Burgos, and whom
his Majesty has raised to the third church dignity in the Peninsula,
the Archbishopric of St. James, in Galicia, the annual income of
which is 180,000 felines.
A report is in circulation that the Commander-in-Chief, Viscount
Digeon, at present at Madrid, will set off for Paris in the mune of
the nee t month, and that he will be relieved in his command of the
army of occupation.
Jn addition to the measures of severity taken by Government for
the suppression of revolutionary offences, it has adopted some of a
general police which are noting severe. 'The old coadjutor Bishop
of Madrid, /11. Casnillo, ex member of the Cortes in 1820, living
in obscurity in • small village near Talavera, has been placed in
confinement in the convent of Cabrera, situated in a desert be-
tween the mountains of Guadarama and domosieria ; it is to this
' convent that clergymen of a certain rank are sent, when they are
to be punished with extreme severity, and it is well known that
the unfortunate persons would prder being sent to the galleys.

made by the Captains-General of Provinces, it is found to consist
of 100,000 men, well armed and equipped. There is to be Bolded to
these an almost equal number of volunteers, who have not yet re-
ceived their arms and clothing ; but upon the other part the rev!.
lar troops are extremely weak. The' consist of eight regiments in
Andalusia, two in the kingdom of % alencia, two an Arragon, two

plement of sub-officers.
The permanent commissions In the provinces are not behind those
in Madrid; scarcely a day passes that there is not an account of
some condemnations either to death or to the galleys.
The Commission of Corogne has just announced to the Govern.
ment, that it has indicted the farmer of three punishments upon
eleven individuals found guilty of political crimes.
The Clergy have succeeded in obtaining the commutation of the
punishment of death pronounced against one of their members,
M. Aldama„ for having presented the Constitution to the King,
when in 1821 he entered the Escurial, at Madrid. In consequence
of the repre.entatiuns =de upon the subject by the mun.cipal
body of the capital, M. Aldama will be imprisoned for life in a
elleteent.

AUGSBURG, OCT. IS.
The foresee Gazette of the Ifith of the month, gives the fol.
lowing details of the naval battle, or rather of the sent s et battles,
rotten by 3liaulis, from the 4th to the limb of September, between
Stanchio and Rhodes. with a part ado, Turkish fleet joined to the
Egyptian squadron. Upon the ith of September, at day-break,
two divisions of the Let of the Capitan Pacha sod of ibrahain
Paella, set sail after their Admirals placed their numerous trans.
ports in the interior of the ports of Bodrouni and Rhodes. The
3111filliMMAII had the wind right aft. The Greeks manoeuvred with
skill and sustained for three days the attacks of the enemy. The
cum nade lasted during the entire time, without cessation, but the
wind ,which was unfavourable to the Greeks, prevented them from
using their fire ships. At length, upon the morning of the third
day, the wind chopped about, and they availed themselves instantly
et the circumstance, launched their fire ships, and made an impetuous
attack upon the Turks. A large ship cut down, which the Vice-
sodof Egypt had purchased in England, a frigate, two corvettes,
two bogs, became instantly a prey to the flames. The bravest
and most experienced of the Egyptian officers was on board the
vessel which tent fire first ; and as theme has been no account of
him, it is conjectured that he has perished. The wreck of the
Turkish and Egyptian fleets, which suffered severely in the last
battle, fled for utety, some to Cos and some to Stanchio The
Greeks repaired to Samos to retit 111111 e of their vessels; it is front
this island that Aliaulis has dated his account to the Greek Goren.

proved ins and ammunition, he sill sail to renew his attacks upon
the enc4.y.

MADRID. OCT. 18.
Yoe will herewith receive a decree that was published here yes-
terday. Every one is petrified at reading this production, so little
calculated to establish order, terminate persecution, conciliate
parties. and stop the effusion of blood. In addition to public mea-
sures, private ones have bees also taken. A great number of ir.di-
siduals in the Peninsula, who field important situations under the
late Government, have been arrested or exiled. 31. Castrato, a dis-
tinguished Bishop, Deputy to the Conies in 1820, has been sent to
a content. M. Ileredent, a celebrated l'rotessor in the College of
Mails de Henares, has been sent to another. M 31. Posado and I'al-
lejes. one of whom was appointed under the Cones to the Bishopric
of Muerte, and the ouster to that of 31eques, have been compelled to
resign their dignities in favour of other prelates chosen by the Govern-
ment. To make amends for these sets of rigour, the Rev. Father
Velez. ci-derunt Bishop of Burgos. a Capuchin, who, upon more
than one occasion, has given proofs of a spirit of high government,
has obtained the cordon of the Royal Order of Charles 111.. atid the
Archbishopric of St. James, iu Galicia, one of the richest in Spim.
Nome Curates and ktonks, who, at the head of the tluerillss, of the
Army of the Faith, played an important part in the late war, but
who had incurred diagrac .• and were exiled from the Court, have
been recalled. Amongst this 'umber was the too famous 31aragnon,
called the Trappist, who was first sent to his Convent, and guarded
in the strictest manner as a criminal. This sanctified person has
arrived, we are informed, this day at the Escorial. The rigorous
arm of the military commissions is still inflicting its blows on all
sides : at Coragne 15 have been executed ; at 31adrol there is
searely a week that we donut we some potions shot or hanged.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM 1.1110)T, DATED OCT. 9.
It appears that the English 'squadron mowed in the Tagus, under
the command of Lord Etuilius Iteauclerk, will remain there a long
time, as it has just been announced that any person wishinglto contract
for the supply of the fleet with the necessary provisions for the
space of a year, are to apply to the Commissariat Department of
the squadron on board the Ocean.

AU the hopes we entertained from the exertions of the Foreign
Ministers, at the Escurial, have disappeared, and the fanatical party
become more powerful every day. The struggle between M.
Ugarte and the Duke de Flntantado is still morn violent than ever,
and 'Wilber of them takes the trouble to conceal his hatred for his
antagonist. Meanwhile, M. Calomarde. the Minister of Justice,
takes advantage of his influence to render more dreadful the system
of terror, which the executive communion carries into e'er- excel.

ARRIVAL OF TIIC COLOMIEL—This immense vessel
has at length actually reached our 'bores. A messenger

Extract of a letter from Corfu, of the 27th September:—
"
Accounts received from Zante, Ithaca, Cephalonia, and
indirectly from the Morea, state the total destruction of the
Turkish Bret. The third and last combat took place be-
tween Stancbio (Cos) Caraman'a, and the Boudroni, in
which they say that the Greeks took, sunk, and burnt se-
veral Turkish vessels. Among these latter was the finest
old largest vessel of Ali Pacha s. They say that Gibraltar,
the son of Mahown t Ali, and the French Commander who
had turned Turk, were made prisoners, and carried to
Napoli di Romania, with a frigate and corvette, which had
been taken. They add, that the Greeks have also taken
vessel laden with money."

By a letter received at Panama. dated Guayaquil, July
'a, it appears that t;eneral Bolivar had pasr...:l the Si •rra
de Pasea with 13,000 fine troops, and that the Spat iards
were retreating. As the blockade of Callao was respected
by the foreign tr.m of war on the station, it was hitt:tidal
on the part of the Patriots to attack the forts front the sea,
while 1,500 men were ordered to march from Iluancho to
co-operate by land. The fall of these forts would place
Lima in possmion of the Patriots, and greatly facilitate
their further operations. There are from foie to five thou-
sand troops coining aerom the lqhmus, to he embarked at
Panama for Peru. They were expected ina few days. and
this re-inforeetnent, it was generally supposed, would en-
able Boirar to liberate that country.
