LONDON, WEDNESDAY, Novena,' 17, 1111114.

We have received the French Moining and Evening
Papers of Sunday. They bring no domestic news whatever.
The Journal des Debats has an appeal to the Electoral
Colleges, which are about to be convoked to fall up the va-
cancies in the Chamber of Deputies, on the choice they
should make : " Elect only men devoted to the King, to
Legitimacy, and to the Charter." This is tho advice of
AL DE CHATE ND, and so vague and unmeaning is
it. that we dare say that M. Ise Vtuot.zi.e, were it neces-
sary, would not hesitate to adopt it. The capital defect
of the present French Opposition, like that which ex-
ists in another kingdom we could name, is, that it
can agree upon no set of principles by which it can
t •,:rtradistinguish itself from the Ministry. Can any man
doubt, that if the Royalists now ill opposition were re-
atored to power, they would do exactly as M. In VILLE! L
AWL'S? As to the Liberals, it is harshly worth while to spe-
culate what they would do, as their accession to the Cabinet
is an event not likely to happen in our days, while the
Crown of France is worn by a Bourbon. The Constiia-
ti.niri asserts that lately several state prisoners have
arrived at lkrlits, some of when have been arrested out-
side of the Proustian territories. This is a subject of some
1110DICIlt, and justly engages the public attention. We
have received some strange information, which we shall

to-morrow lay before our readers. .
In the Munitesor there is nothing official. It contains,
however, rather a remarkable piece of intelligence from
1 ittoria respecting an express from the King of Sem:4 to
'orierts X., praying fur the continuance of the French
alloy till the Ist of next July. The Etolle of the preyed-
mit evening positively contradicted the statements of the
itypt.nitioti Papers, that the evacuation of `pain was con-
trary to the wishes of FLIMINAN I) VII. " MI is con-
ec.-ted between France and Spain," said the veracious Jour-
nalest on Saturday evening, but lo! on Sunday morning the
official Casette of the Nlinistry announces that Fesnrr*ru
is despatching 11111VW:IgeTS 10 bay,' that be may, for six
months longer, be protected from his subjects, and we are
told that the Spaniards hope much that the successor of
ikir befulimetur, Lou is XVIII., will deign to complete the
great work of the pacificaf - of the Peninsula." Whst a
scandalous prostitution of !anti.t!te have we here ! What
serf of piq/Patiora must that be which twelve months after-
ward,: requires the kin7elein to be garrisoned by foreign
t :Amy% !.

I From the Al/gem ine Zeitnng of Nev. t.,
CONSTAKTINOPLE. OCT. 11.

Yawn,lay the CaPITAIN PAcita's Admiral's ship, without
Masts et sails, arrived hue quite unexpectedly, •ceomp••ied by •

frigate, and, as the CAPIT•W PACIIA VAS net on board his ship,
it ts natural that everybody is prepared to hear of great disasters to
the fleet.
For this week past unfavourable reports have been in circula.
tion, and Captains from Afitylene affirm, that the greater part of
the feet is destroyed. So notch seems certain, that a new attempt
upon Salim* has tailed, slid that hereupon • considerable division
of the fleet being se; mated by u storm, was pursued by the Greek.,
and at length burnt near Ittitylene.
An that could save themselves fled to the Dardanelles. An
Egyptian division was still engaged. The accounts of the war by
laud are equally dismal. The army of the Seraskier, lir esteem
PAI:1111, which was to conquer the Mores, and to reinforce which
2,1 de Janissaries were sent, was entirely destroyed when the latter
arrived. The Janiasaries immediately turned back. and left their
Commander an the lurch. Several of them have arrived here, and
increase, by the accounts they give., the general alarm. • Must of
the Puha., to whom the Porte has sent money fur the expenses
of the military preparations, have kept it for their own use.
I.lticsa* OCT. n.
According to letters from Constantinople, of the 17th instant,
news bad been received there, that the division of the Egyptian
fleet which was separated from the rest (use have before stated),
and which, atter the flight of the CAPITAII PACII• to the leant'.
pellet. on the 7th teettibil, hail escaped destruction, was overtaken
by the Greeks on die 9th October, and totally destroyed. (If the
great combined armada, nothing remained to cumbet, and the
Greek Archipelago is freed from the barbarian flag. The heroism
which the Greeks have diplayed in the campaign, makes an im-
pression that it is impossible to describe, and nobody now deceives
himself respecting the probable consequences of such great event*

The Jamaica Ccurant, of the with of September, was
received yesterday frein Liverpool, to which port it was
brought by the Rocket from Jamaica on Monday. We
have given an extract from this Paper in another column,
purporting to be the account of a victory gained by Bout-
VAS over Casrwaae, on the 6th of August, on the plains
of Junin. It is remarkable, we think, that the Jamaica
Courant, instead of quoting the contents of the l'anama
Ga::rtte extraordinary. should substitute its own version of
the affair. None will be more glad than ourselves to
find that this inte:ligenee is correct ; but considering the
number and extent of the stratagems that have been lately
played off to raise and lover the value of South American
Stock, we arc disposed to examine with the utmost caution
all the news that reaches us from that quarter of the
world. The battle seems to 11111 e been chiefly an engage-
ment between the cavalry of the two armies. The
Spaniards, it appears, attacked the Colombians; but
after a long and fluctuating action, the Royalists were
finally driven from the field, with a loss of 23.1 men killed.
Great numbers were of course wounded, and, we arc told,
still greater numbers dispersed. 'flue two Generah com-
manded in person, and, according to report, BOLIVAR
mixed in the thickest of the fight, and contributed
sot a little to the fortunes of the day by his personal
bravery and prowess. The official despatches were sent
of from his head-quarters at Nevis the inn-fling after the
conflict. The Royalists were retreating with the utmost
precipitation before the Independents; and the Peruvians,
■roused from their criminal apathy by 801 !VAR'S success,
were hailing the advance of the victors with the warmest
congratulations and rejoicings.

The following declaration, from Messrs. Maim and Co
which we inserted in our paper of yesterday, was for-
warded to us so late the p►eceding evening, as to prevent
our paying it due attention ; we shall, however, proceed
ttfrday to offer those remarks upon it which it appears to
us to call for
