GENERA/. LA FATETTE.—Tn the whole of the marked atten-
tion paid to this gallant veteran since he landed on our shores, there
is nothing possessing a more interesting character than the welcome
he has received front the revolutionary officers and soldiers who have
pressed around him in every part of the Unien which he has visited.
When at Hartford (Cr.) on his return to this city, nearly 100 of his
former companions, frion all parts of the State, asseninled to see
him, and to grasp his hand. On this occasion he was presented
with the epaulets which he wore aia 3lajor-General in our army,
and with the sash which he had on at the battle of Brandywine,
spotted with the blood he shed on that memorable occasion. There
were also several individuals fume Massachusetts, among whom
was a 31r. C. Munn. of Greenfield, who had fought by the side of
La Fayette.—Near Fork Evening Pod.
FETE TO LA FAYETTE.--(ilTat preparations are making for
the splendid fete at Castle Garden, which, judging from present
appearances, will be nowded to overflow. It is expected that the
company will exhibit an uncommon display of gaiety and splen-
dor, suitable, tol the occasion. We have just seen the head of La
Fayette, in miniature, engraved by Durand, and an admirable
likeness, stamped on watch ribbons, ladies belts, gloves, 6ec.,
which, it is understood, will be worn by most of the company, as
particularly appropriate. They are to be had, we perceive from an
advertisement, at the shop cat a Mr. Camptield, 303, Broadway.
A medallion likeness, in gold or silver, are also in be had at Mr.
Lewis's.. the engraver, No. 3, Wall-street, equally proper.—New
York Evening Poat.
Pt n ATES.—By the brig Francis from Ilavannah, arrived at qua-
rantine, we learn that a piratical establishment at lief Blanco was
broken up on the 21st of August, by the boats of the British
slnop of war Icarus, who killed six art the pirates ; the residue
escaped to the woods. Among the vessels found in their posses-
sion was the brig henry, Rhodes. of Hartford, capturid on the
16th, on a voyaue from St. Jag°, Gulph of Mexico, foe Matacza,
with a cargo of maim—New York Aliening Post.

The rumour of Santana's defection from the Patriot
cause had the effect yesterday of reducing Mexican Scrip
about 1 per Cent, but it recovered before the close of the
market. _ _

Letters from Smyrna, dated the 4th ult., assert that the
Capitan Paella had been joints' by the Egyptian squadron
under the command of the Viceroy's son, and that the
combined fleet had appeared utf Samos, the Capital) Pacha
declaring that be would destroy the island or perish it: the
attempt. The following is the pottacript to a private let-
ter; the latter part of it most probably alludes to the Pro-
clamation of Sir Frederick Adam:—
" SMY a NA, SEPT. 4.—The Capitan Paths is again before Sa-
mos. We hate just learnt that the British Government hare re-
quired the Greek* to withdraw their Ma Vestries, and that they
had been informed that if a British flag be insulted or rubbed they
will hen:A:forward be treated as pirates."
By letters received by the Turkey Mail, we learn that
Lord Strangford was expected to have Constantinople to-
wards tbe clos.:. of last month, accompanied by Mr. Hamil-
ton, the late Secretary of Legation. His Majesty's ship
Mt dina was waiting it tae Dardanelles to convey them to
this country. Mr. Turner, tho successor of Mr. Hamilton,
would remain as Charge <l' Again's. The plague still con-
tinned in the Turkish capital, but with less cff.ct than
lately. A tire bad also broken out, which consumed be-
tween sixty and seventy houses, without, however, damag.
ing the bazaars.

out of the loans now raising tu England.

The Mexican privateer, the lgtas, had captured some
Lnited States vessels, which had created some ill blood
between the two countries. _ _

PAr.is, OCT. 12.—Letters from Rochefort say, that the
Retie corvette, the Dragon brig. Bresanue gun-brig, and
the Mounts schooner, sailed from the port ou the 4th.
under the orders of ('aptain Latyrete, for the Coast of
Africa, where they will be employed in repressing the
Slave Trade. They will find there the Maraouin brig,
sail the Dorade schooner, employed in the same service.
• Li/es sow.—Letters from Luanow announce the mar-
riage of the Prince Mille Alum Bahadcor, son of the
Ring of Oude, on the '27th ult. The ceremony was per-
formed at the third hour after midnight, and the marriage
portion is said to be live millions of rupees.—Bengal liar-
kora, May 30. _

A letter from Dieppe. written by a gentleman who was
present when the lady gained admission through the Guards
of Charles X. in the Champs Ely.,ecs, on the (lay of his entry
into Paris, and preseated a pctitiou to his Majesty, informs
us that she has had the honour to receive the King's gra-
cious answer, giving her an appointtnetat in the Royal
I lousehold, where she will be amply recompensed for her
hushand's misfortunes. We understand her maiden name
is Nicholson, and that she is a native of England, married
to a French subject.
Mas. HENRY FACNTIAROY.—The unjust calumnies
and unfounded assertions which have been circulated respecting
thi, unfortunate lady, have induced a particular friend other fami-
ly to lay before the public the following statement of facts :—She
is the daughter of the late Capt. John Young, It.N. who, fur many
years, served his country with distinguished bravery and honest!. ;
and an ild'anacy haring long subsisted between his family and that
of the Feuntlerov's after his death Mr. 11. Fauntleroy succeeded
in gaining the affections of Min Young. and • private marriage
took place. When her brother discovered the error she had been
drawn into, he instantly demanded of Mr. lan:tiler:7 to se-
' knowledge her publicly as Ins *M, which lie readily consented
to do, but begged a short time might be allowed him (tor the ar-
rangement of his affairs previous in the acknowledgement : during

7'O THE EDITOR OF "IA BRITINif PRESS.
Sia,—The in
of the following letter will eery
much oblige a constant reader :
TO Slit CHARLES LONG, PAYMASTER.GENEKAL.
S: n.—ltating passed a great pan of my lire ra Me milt
tar. service, I take the liberty of submitting to your consideratin. 4
i'aymaster.tieneral, the great hardship of the superannuated pensioned servants, who have become disabled by reason of the
various vici•sittoles of military duty, and who, from the libehai,,,
to the country, have been nobly provided fur, in order tl.at
URI; situation may be tendered as conthwtable as possible, in tint hien,
their pensions paid quarterly, instead of half.yearly. From ail
etreunistate.4 tounificent as are the allowances, they do not procure
fur them those comforts the Legislature and the Governmert n.
tended. lam certain this fact must have escaped our n
or
Government famed for liberality as ours is, would nut suffer theis
r
pensioners to wait so long as half a year fir their mooey, wh:cit
obliges the to procure the necessaries of life at credit pricer and
many of them ultimately to seek relief' from their debts in we ye.
solvent Court. A quarterly payment would be equally as cense. nient to the
would ineuteulable.
I beg to subscribe myself, with rest respect,
Your most obedient humble Servant.
