' This insurrection is said to hare been occasioned

63 men, who were reduced to despair.

are badly supplied with artillery, and would not

tack. The possibility of &disembarkation is tie sub-
ject of every conversation int:icily. There is not, he-
ades, in the island, any force capable of opposing
• much resistance. The British Swope, and the rennin*
tar the German sad Swiss Legions, do not amount
to nore than 3nati men ; and the army of King
Fe dinaud, commanded by the Prince of Hesse
rinlipstahl, (winch is neither disgraced nor gone
to America, MA lie, been mid), does not exceed
64)00 men, including the new recruits. King
Ferdinand. and his Court lies ill very retired

fort of Scr ha, upon the Calabria,' coast. This
fort. situated on a ye.) steep rock. has become in-
accessible on the lend side, since the English
entirely destroyed the avenues which led to it from
thy Continent. They have contrived on the sea
side a very narrow stairs. The garriion of this
fort is cons' used of but e4o men, who get their
suiwistruce and even eater from Messina. The
Sicilians have still much traffic with England, Malta
and Triest. English have, at the Isle of Capri, a
small light fleet, for the purpose of hindering mer-
chant vessels from eptenag the port of Naples ;
hat they can easily escape by navigating along the
coastal-which the English dare not approach.
There is still in the road of Triest, a Russian fri-
gate, and we do not think she will soon put to sea.
—The English have no force before this port, but
two of their vessels are always cruising off Fiume,
to observe what passes in that quarter.

We continue to receive very contradictory ac-

the Russians and Turks have mourned a very me-
nacing posture with respect to each other, while the
Servinm continue the war ; according to others,
no accommodation is very near between these two

An the Bavatiad troops of the (Amends Decoy

.3ELGRADII,_DEC. 24.

The Greek Bishop, who lately arrived here from
Constantinople, has declared to the Servian Synod
(or Senate) that the new Emperor Mnstaphis IV.
ardently desired to conclude peace with the Set-
'ism, and that he was disposed to consent to their
demands, protided they would acknowledge his
sovereignty, and send deputies to Coustantiuople,
to conclude a definitive arrangement.
The President, Czerni George, replied, in the
name. of the Senate, that this oiler came too late,
that the Servian nation could not negotiate alone,
but that its fate moat be regulated by Foreign
Princess, 'mid that the Counsellor of State, Rods-
finkin, who had been sent wine months since by the
Court of Russia, was charged with every thing re-
lative to that object.
The Greek Bishop immediately sent off a Cou-
rier to Constantinople, with this answer---“„ It is
said, that this Envoy is likewise charged with
another mission, and that he will remain here till
next Spring. &her Turks of distinction are like-
siise expected at Belgrade."
According toaccouutes from the 4th corps of the
Servian army, posted on the Busawa, a finnan of
the Grand Seignior has arrived at Trammick, in
consequence of which the Turks are assembling
anew, as well on the Busuwa and the Drina, as
on the frontiers of Dalmatia.

Governors of the Crimea and Black Sea, the most

chandise.

SALONICA, NOV. Is.
The English Captain Haadfeils arrived on the
20th October at Salonice. tie spe.d a report,
tag an armistice had been concluded between the
English add Turks, and profited by the confidence
which this news inspired to commit a shameful
piracy. A Turkish ship, which was setting out for
Sinyruii, beggett of the English Captain to escort
him through the Gulph, and defend them against
the pirates. He consented; but off Panonti he
seized upon the Turkish ship, pillaged the passen-
gers •ml crew, apd sent him on shore naked and
helpless. The ieliabitenu of Selonica were enraged ;
they attacked the quarter where the Franks reside,
and wished to enter into the English houses, in
order to sack them. The prudence of the Janis-
airy Aga prevented disorder.

the following letters, which he has received front
the Consul General of the United States, at Al-

" ♦LGIERS, DEC. 16.
" Yon were, without doubt, apprised, some
time since, that the American shipi had been de-
.tained by a frigate, belonging to this Regency, the
Limited States not having, for two year'', sent the
warlike stores (objets dr g agreed upon by
the Treaty, notwithstanding they had repeatedly
offered their value in ready money. These ships
were, the Engle, of New York, Capt. &haler,
from Bristol to Palermo, with a cargo of bottles ;
the brig Violet, of Boston, Capt. Monet, from
Oporto to Leghorn, with a lading of sugar, hides,
indigo, &c.; the galliot Mary Aria, of New York,
Capt. Sbelield, from Belleisle to Leghorn, with a
cargo of salt fish. It is now more than forty days
since the two first have been sent in herr,
and it is supposed the galliot is in seine other
port. The crews of the said ships have not been
ill treated, nor the most trilling effect belonging
to them taken away. I have the satisfaction of an-
nouncing to you, my having settled with the Dey,
who has received in money the annual contribu.
two, and roles/test the ships. Is futon! our cow•
coerce will not be disturbed by this Regency. I
instruct you to snake known, without delay, this
arrangement, which so intimately interests our
navigation. " I have the honour to be, &c.

make no alteration in the conditions, signed yester-
day. All the Cord:airs are at present assembled in

I-lis Alajesty has addressed the following letter
to all the Bishops in the kingdom
It is a received usage among all Christian Princes, when
prosperous events happen, to return solemn thanks to that
God by whom they reign. I place among the number of
prosperous meats my arrival in these states, and I make no
doubt that all my subjects will du the same when they con-
sider the advantages which meat accrue to them from unites
in a great political body, and when they attend to all my
endeavours to lighten their particular losses which mast be
inevitable in the case of • new organizatioa, and my indefati-
gable cares for the happiness of my people. I request you, in
consequence, by this present, to cause a Te Deem to be sung
au Sunday the 17th of January, in your Cathedral Church, at
which you will he present, with all the Citric Authorities,
and invite all these who are accustomed to be present at
Divine Service ; you will also give orders that Te Deem shall
he sung on the Sunday following, in all the amebae of year
Diocese. 1 pray God to have you in his rely keeping."
