curing small piratical vessels, which are very nu-
merous in those eras. Two schorniera from New

SEPTEMBER 23.

A proposition was some time since made by the
Intendant of Cuba to the Royal Government of
Spain, for an advance of 400,000 dollar, aa a com-
pensation for making Havanna!, a free tart ; and
be the last accounts it appears that a memorial on
the subject has been put into circulation at Ha.
'swish, in order to effect a measure so desirable to
the prosperity of the island. It calls loudly upon
the inhabitants of Havannah to come forward and
subscribe to this loan, the amount returnable in
twelve mouths after the advance.

Eighty-men vessels entered the port of Hs.
vaunati during the month of August, viz.-94
Ainericatis, 33 Spanish, 15 English, one French,
one Hamhurgh, one Dutch, one Sicilian, and one
Vortugusse, besides eleven vessels of war, five of
which were strangers, end six Spaniards.

doubt at Crimea& of the amount of troops, or
"the object of ibe movements. From the situation
iu whicliCziptinis Williams left Maracaibo, he is of
opinion that ir an immediate and resolute attack
was made, that important post must fall into the
hoods of the Spaniards. In that event, all new
property would be converted to their use with-
out crieinoity, under the authority of a paper

at Maracaibo, would not probably exceed 12,000
dollars; and that of British. belonging principally
to merchant" of Liverpool, 100,000/. ; and also a
considerable amount of Dutch property. Al-
though it was rumoured at Curacoa that, in con-
sequence of the many civilities, &c. General Mo-
rales had received from the inhabitants, Dutch pro-
perty would be respected. Captain Williams is,
however, af opinion that the respect shown by Mo-
rale' to Dutch property will be of that kind "hewn

BAYOI9NE AAD FRAIVKFORT PAPERS.

BAYONNE. OCTOBER 12.
The military preparations proceed without any
intro ruption.

The most recent letters from the three provinces
of Risco), state, that the public tranquillity becomes
more and more consolidated by the energetic mea-
sures of the Magistrate., supported by the exer-
tions of the different constitutional columns, which
are in constant motion. The bands which infested
those provinces being entirely dispersed.h•ive thrown
themselves towards St. Ander, and particularly to-
wards Iraty. The news of the defeat of the Roy-
alists who went from that place is confirmed, and
they were repulsed with severe loss. It is even re-
ported that the place is invested by their adversa-
ries, who hoped to make themselves masters of it
in a few Jays; but they have repeated this boast so
often, that we most not give credit to it, and espe-
cially because Espinosa is not strong enough to un-
dertake this operation and, at the same time to at- '
tend to the maintenance of tranquillity in the ;ate-
rior of the province.

The Secret Committee of the Faith at Bayonne
has highly disapproved of the conduct of Colonel
Cubra and of the Commandant Redonde, who con-
ducted this movement on the 4th. It has been de•
cided in consequence of this, that Don Carlos
O'Donnell shall go and take the command of Na-
varre, and of the three provinces, for the purpose
of organizing the troops of Iraty and recovering the
royalist cause in that country, by encouragiug peo-
ple'. minds and raising new levies. This General
has fixed his departure for the lith. Re will pro-
ceed first to Traty. le our neat we shall give the
Proclamation which he has prepared to be address-
ed ►o the Navorreee and Biscayaes.

The oceounts from Saragossa of the sth seem to
be very favourable to the constitutional cause, not-
withstanding the Agents of the Faith whom we
have in this city represent them in a different light.
The following are the accounts we receive of the
operations of the army of Mina :—On the 30th
this General proceeded with about 8,000 men
from Calif towards Berge, with his right sup-
ported by Agnienont, and leaving Solsona and Cur-
dena sufficiently reinforced.
General Milani; with an equal force advanced
upon Olut ; his vanguard marched on the id
towards Campredon, leaving Mamma and Vich
secure against any attack. General Z4rco del
Valle had passed the Cinca, and entered Tremp
on the Ist, with his left leaning on the moun-
tains upon the frontiers of France, and his
right towards Balaquer, which is in the pos-
session of the Royalists, and which is closely
blockaded. At the moment of the departure of
the courier from Saragossa, it was positively
affirmed than the vanguard of General Mina was on
the 3d within three leagues of Urgel, the Junta of
which place had retired to Puicerds. The Royalists
were still concentrated on the banks of the Sere.
from Urgel to Puicerds; but several Chiefs of gue-
rillas had refused to obey General Rrolles. Ge-
neral Mina has ly punished on his way
several individuals who had declared in favour
of the insorrection. Some priests bad even been
hanged. The rear of the Constitutional army is
constantly harassed by the bands of the Defenders
of the Faith, who alarm the garrisons and interrupt
the communications; but it seems to be the lutes-
tion of the Constitutional Generals to let them
alone for the present, and to direct their whole
efforts against Urgel and Paicerda, in order to put
down the Government of the Regency, and that
they will then adopt measures to restore peace in
the interior. These same letters describe in the
strongest terms the enthusiasm of the troops of
General Mina, as well as of the good spirits of thel
inhabitants of Barcelona, above 4,000 of whom
have now. jutted the army of General Milano

FRANKFORT, OCTORICK 12.
- s
Thq eilkinseine Zeitung has ■n extremely long
letter relative to the affairs of Greece, dated Gus-
tuni, iir the Peloponnesus, the 26th of August,
the writer of which stales, that perfect reliance may
be placed on the accounts which he gives, because
he was eye-witness to sham all those events, and,
his inforination respecting the others is derived from
sources that spay be depended upon. He coin-

. •
woe's by otiseiviog,.that it is not to be'wonJered

'reduce and •corrupt the •Chieto. Distigrecutents
have thus been produced between some Generals
and the G.ivernment, and many pervosis have with-
drawn discontented. A great note tier of volunteers,
Mostly country people, had gone to their homes to
attend to the labours of agriculture.
Chourschid had attempbted to enter the Pclopon-
nesus from Epirus, with a numerous *any, com-
posed chiefly of Albaniatia, but was completely
beaten by the. Greeks, and lost 8,000 men in a bat-
tle with the Su lion,. 'emissarieo afterwards in-
forming him of their success in owing dissection
among the Creeks, he thought the time was come
to execute his plan, which appears to have been
conceived by a genius superior to that of the Turks.
He repaired to Larissa, where a great army was
ready to take the field : it is afflrmed it consisted of
50,000 men, chiefly cavalry. He pulsed the Ther-
mopylae with little opposition, and detached a corp.
of 20,000 cavalry, and some infantry, under Moh-
amed Pache, of Drains ; Ali Paella, Mora!) Vs-
lesi (who is dead), Ali Bey, appointed Peelle of the
Mores ; Kiaja, of Chourschid, and several others.
This corps, which had 10,000 horses, mules, and
camels, to convey ammunition, &c. advanced with
the characteristic impetuosity of the Turks, tra-
versed with the rapidity of the wind, Thebes, Li-
vadat, and Megan, laid waste and massacred all
that came in its way, and arrived on the 18th of July
at the Isthmus of Corinth. which city it easily took,
the few Gaeeks who had been posted at the en-
trance of the defiles to defend it having withdrawn
into the mountains. About eighty Greeks who
were in the fortress spiked up the few guns left,
and retired. Thus this formidable corps entered
the Pelopotinesus.
Leaving a small division in the Isthmus, and an-
other at Corinth, the Turks advanced without re-
siarance tewards Argo*, and arrived before Napoli
di Romans.

The writer here ►elates what happened at Athens
after the Turks capitulated : they were most of
them still in the city, waiting for the transports
which were to convey them to Asia, when the news
of the Turkish army having passed the Ther-
mopylte gave the prisoners courage, sud they began
to ill-treat the Greek inhabitants, and seize on
arms. The Greeks, seeing the danger, resolved to
get rid of tlzeir prisoners who thus violated the ca-
pitulation ; part of them were killed in this pope•
hat tumult—those only escaped who retired to pri-
vate houses and the hotels of the Consuls, aud who
were afterwards taken under the protection of two
French vessels.
Napoli di Romania had, in fact, capitulated, but
the garrison would not keep the capttul.tion when
it heard of the approach of the Turkish army.
It demanded terms, which the Greeks refused.
The writer then goes into the details of the fur-
ther operations, which, on the whole, agree with
those already published from oilier quarters, con-
firming the total defeat and destruction of the
l'urkish army.

THE BRITISH PRESS.

LONDON,
TUESDAY. Octossa 44, INC

In our Paper of yesterday we stated our reasons
fp: discrediting the report is a French Paper, an-
nouncing the defeat of MINA by the army under
the Baron D'Eitou.si. io as adios near Olot,
which commeoced on the 3d iestant. If any
doubt remained on the subject, it must be
removed by the arrival of Bayonne Papers, which
give an account of its position on the 3d, the day
on which the action is stated to have taken place.

Letters and Papers from the Cape of Good Hope
to the sth of August were received yesterday. They
furnish details of the dreadful hurricane which
lately visited that colony. Captain CLocrr, a con-
fidential friend of the Governor, and a Staff Officer,
who was dispatched, ns one of the livers stales, " to
communicate the miseries of the inhabitants to the
British Government. and to implore aid and assist-
ance from the Mother Country," arrived yesterday
at Lord Bratruest's Office sit') dispatches.

We have received New York Papers to the 9..5rh
ult. and Philadelphia► to the 23d. In the fanner
city we regret to find that the fever appears rather
to increase than abate. although, from some heavy
rains which had fallen tlorte, the most beneficial
effects were looked for.
la oar extracts it will be seen that there is
intelligence from Lima which may haply disturb
the tranquillity of the eager purchasers or the new
Peruvian. Loan. A battle, it seems, had taken
place between the Royalists and a division of SAN
MARTIN'S army, in which the latter were nearly
destroyed.

A Frankfort Paper of the 12th instant contains an
account of the advance of the Turks into the Mores,
sod their expuhion from it by the Greeks. It does
Hot differ materially f.nut the details already pub-
liahed. The following is an extract :

The question of the repeal of the Union Is ad-
vocated in Dublin with considerable ardour and per-
severance. A series of Resolutions on the subject,
and a Petition to Parliament founded thereon, were
adopted by the Corporation of that City in their
Quarterly Assembly on Friday last. The expe-
rience of each succeeding day must strengthen
this feeling in the City of Dublin, which has
suffered so severely by that measure.

ilia MAJESTY, we understand, has it in ciao-
templation to make considerable alterations and em.
provements at Wiudaor Castle, amongst which a
new grand entrance will farm a prominent feature.
lu his last visit his MAJESTY spent nearly five
hours in viewing the whole range of apartments,
considering plans, &c. It was generally observed
that the KIND never appeared in better health and
spirits. Since his return to the Cottage his MAJESTY
has not allowed • day to pass without taking exer-
cise; when the weather permitted, he has been on
horseback for several hours together io the Park,
accompanied by Earl HARCOURT, &c.
Should his MAJESTY accept the invitation to the
Civic dinners the following regulations are tie be
adopted, as far as respects the militury; the light horse
volunteers will meet his MAJESTY at Temple-ba►,
•nd will escort him to Guildhall, where the royal
artillery company will be drawn up to receive him.
An Evening Paper of yesterday states that a re-
port reached town last morning, in private letters
from Paris, that the King of FRANCE is danger-
ously ill.
Lord /Wiliam the newly-elected Governor-
General of India, of whose appointment we were the
first to apprise the public, was to have been intro-
duced to the Chairman and Court of Directors last
Wednesday, and to have taken the oaths. It is
possible ihst this omission arty have been occa-
sioned by the absence of Mr. Wifrrit from town,
whose province it is, as a matter of form, to ratify
the appointment, by giving to it the sanction of his
Als.fateir's Government; bat if the usual cere-
monies be not gone through on the next Court day,
we shall begin to suspect • hitch in a high► quarter.
We have beard a whisper on this subject.—(Evening
Paper.)

The East India Company's ships General Harris
and Marquis Camden arrived ut Prince of Wales's

Fogrumaie ESCAPE.—About ten months ago
a vessel, called the MAGRATH, master, sailed
from Yctiglial, hound to Pool, but not having
been heard of for • considerable time since, ►t
was rightly conjectured that she was lost. A letter
has been receiv.d in Youghal within these few days,
trom one of the crew, at Southampton, stating, that
the re►eel foundered off Scilly, and that the master
and crew got into the long-host, and were, afer
some lime, taken np by a Mitch East Indianian,
on her voyage to Batavia, and taken to that settle-
ment, a here they were treated in the most hand-
some manner by the authorities of that island, and a
pacsrge procured for them in the fit at ship home-
ward bound. The man slates, that the master
and the remainder of the crew might be daily ex.
peeled.

On Wednesday the smack Rogle. Too, arrived
st Leith, having on board a heaatiful buffalo from
London, which had been lauded here from India.
Owing to the boisterous state of the weather on the
passage to Leith, it is supposed the animal had
caught cold, by which be died before the arrival of
the weasel.

The brig Renown, IVArt, fios Quebec, which
arrived at Leith on the 15th instant, has brought two
beavers, directed far the College ; but it is to he
regretted that, previous to the ■►rival of the vessel,
one of them died ; the other is in good health. and
was forwarded on Tuesdat• to it. destination. This,
we believe, is the first importation of beavers into
this country.
The state of the pavements in the public streets
in the city having become daily worse and worse for
slime weeks past, and no probability existing that
they will be better upon the present system, a pub"
tic meeting will shortly be called to take into cow.
sideratiou the best means to be adopted to remedy
the evil.
