LONDON, TUESDAY, OcrosEa 2s, 1846.

We last night received the Etude, dated the 22d inst.,
which contains a long Proclamation from the &rattail
Poker to the Mussulman people, against seditious prac-
tices. After enlarging on the enormity of the offences re-
cently committed, and the rebellious disposition displayed
by the Janissaries, this singular document says:—
Prom this day, men disguised in a certain manner shall be em-
powered to traverse all parts of the town ; and females, also dis-
guised, to enter into the houses and public haths • and henceforth,
whoever dare., man or woman, to circulate false rumours, and
coats disorder by improper language. shall be instantly seized. No
gran', no delay, shall be allowed them. .High or low, neither
p-ayers, imercrsdons, nor intreciion. shall be listened to or al-
hired. It It determined—it is decreed—that the guilty shall be
pwnishad, end that their chastisement shall be known to every one,
and to every quarter.

We have received through the North and South Ame-
rican Collie-house, and other channels, United States
Papers to the 25th ult.; but they contain nothing of any
i-nportanee. We subjoin the only paragraphs that seem to

drown notice.
The mate of things on the rives Ls Plata bat 'become highly to-
teresting, and circumstances seem to indicate a change for the bet-
ter. The partial action between the two aqusthoni of which we
yesterday guys an account was of a very singular description ; the
totsiiians under Norton. with overwhelming number and force,
thought best te retreat before the Patriot*. The natural concha-
eon, after all we have heard, is, that the Emperor's cause is unpo-
pvlar on languid his own ships, a• well as among his land troops.
D.serinns are frequent both of soldiers and sailors, and as for the
in/110%mo of 3lonte Video, we were informed some weeks since
by a native, that nothing appeared to prevent their declaring for
berty except the presence of the garrison. It is hardly possible that
any other cause than a general diasat:sfiction in the squadron
s*.otild hare made the Brazilian squadron fly.
B•mrimortz. SEPT. 15.
.1 letter from Laguira, of August the 7th, received in Philadal-
pt.ia„ states that ■ report was in circulation there that General Ber.
model, Cemmander-in.Chief of Cunning, had received orders to
roves forward. and that he had actually taken up a line of march to
occupy San Fernando, the focus of Pates influence in the plains
at the Apure. Should this prove to be a fact, the next arrival from
Colombia will, in all probability, inform us of some decisive acts on
ti•e pert of the Government which mar• redeem its character from the
t!.arge of being incapable of protecting the Constitution. The let-
ter also mentions a report that General Urdanneta, Intendant of
M aracaibo, had given orders for the disposable troops in his de-
partment to march forward to execute the decrees of the supreme
government, which no doubt comman.d the suppression of the re-
be:flan by the force of arms and it seems t 6 be the impression
1,11,1131 k men of intelligence in Llguira that Psex's officers would
dart hila,should they come in contact with the troop, of the Go-
rem meta.

PORTO CAVELL°. A 3. 30.
An Ald.de•Camp of Bolin. has arrived at Valencia, with
deloalches for Paez, which were immediately sent to him al his en-
campment on the plains of Apure. Bolivar is on his way from
Pe, u for Bogota, where he has probably arrived.
CHARLESTON. Sr.PT. 11.

A letter from Bahia, deed the Bth August, mentions that Buenos
A sees still remained blockaded. The Empress was in bad ho.
molar, on account of the Emperor's treatment, and was going hotnr
to her father. Monte Video remained closely besieged by Ltd,
and little prospect of a speedy termination of the war.
SCHOONER FAIRY.—The following is the Custom-bowie list

Charles Merchant, of Gloucester (other accounts represent him to
he an Englishman), 2J; Julio Hughes. of Milford, England (or
23, se :man John Murray, of Hingham,2o. cook, a white
trao. Letters from Britt.** state that the murders were committed on
t-e Grand Bank. by Merchant and Curtis and that not being
able to navigate the vessel, they made for land, scuttled her about
tour miles from the slams, and took to die boat. Tie two princl.
psis frequently threatened to throw the cook overboard ; but he
begged hard fir his life, and promised, under duress, not to iuferm
airstost them. Feeling himself not bound by a compelled premin-,
he informed against them. Merchant is a powerhil man. and has
boasted that he had committed other murders, and served on board

■ patriot privateer. There is reason to hope that Mews was no'
invilicated in the murders.
We learn that the President of the United St.ites has promptly
wvttt instructions to the I;ecretary of the Navy, to adopt IllealulUft
r eoncvrt with the Rritiph Authorities of Nova Scotia. that the
nerpetratom of the murder and piracy may be speedily brought to
. justice. There C3O be no doubt of the :calms co-operation of the
a4ove vuthomics, and that the culprits will speedily he pent to the
I tilted States for trial, and that if found guilty they will undergo
the wentity of the law.
Vi divcover from our Jamaica papers by the Marion, that the
•irbjast 4... miming Amble dot kis. in she'litelthiti Welt tnd•a Islands,

urt&a new regulation of the 'Mother Country, has attracted the
attention of the respective Colonial Legislatures. A temperate re-
Presentation of the hardships arising under this mculation has al.
ready been forwarded to the British tlorernment, by the Legisla-
tore of Ilarbatlim, and a sinular_procteding was about to be adopted
by the Arsenthly of Jamaica. Cutler this odious regulation the im-
porting
.merchant cannot get possession of any prop, ny subject to
duty, without paying the amount—brat, to the Collector of Cos.
turns ; and, secondly, to the Receiver General. Thus, one
of the greatest necessaries of life, finny, is taxed los. sd. pa
barrel. The editor of the A Ingtfol. Chronicle says? t, The As-
sembly can reser accede to their constituents bt irg taxed to pay
tt,e sahries of officers over shorn they hare no control, and wl:o
may be multiplied at the pleasure of the Lords Commissioners of
toe CuPtor44.
On the 19th July, the flovernor of Antigua. by direction of
Earl Bathurst, laid before the legislature of that rolany sundry
13"10 numbing the domestic policy of that island; but the two
Houses declined to act upon them immediately, and passed to
dot ordem of the day. A strong sensation appears to hare bten
ttvcitsfi in the House of Assembly by their introduction.—
