MONDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1821.

has been in prison since that period in St. Salvador ;
he is the military leader, and the political leader is
a Priest named Franscisco Paula Simon da Silva,
who accompanied this division, composed of 3,000
troops well equipped. particularly the cavalry, but
rather deficient in field artillery : but the tierces ex-
pected to join them from other quarters will how 1.11
aggregate of ten thousand men at least, asp revolt
had taken place to the southward near Cape St.
Augustin, and likewise to the westward, authentic
information of which was received.

The ostensible cause is, they accuse the present
Governor of -arbitrary and despotic acts—they want
him deposed, and want the Colonel of the Algarves
to resign the command of that regiment ; but peo-
ple seem to think that nothing short of the expulsion
of all Europeans from power will satisfy them, as
they imagine they can manage their own affairs.
However, they march with a trill-length likeness of
the king and Prince Regent in front, and the word
" Constitution" on their banners.

This revolution has been in embryo for some time,
and it is thought the expectation of troops from Lis-
bon shortly occasioned its breaking out sooner ; how-
ever, the first blood has been drawn, and where or
when it. will terminate time will develope only.—
The loss in that at-L.6r at the advanced posts at Olin-
da was variously stated. The Royalists lost fifteen
killed and wounded. The Patriots, as they are
called, lost :?(-) killed and wounded and 25 prisoners

the greater part of the Ottoman fleets left the gulfs
of Lepanto and Patras, and sailed for the south, as
sonic say, to attack the Greek navy at Hydras and
Spezia, or according to another statement, to con-
voy the troops which are to be embarked on the
coast of Asia tiir the Moreal
Nov . 16.—Several thousand Greeks
have already left the islands in the Archipelago and
the Mediterranean, where the Turks are masters, to
take refuge in Egypt. The Paella, who has given
ample proof that he hated every species of fanaticism,
has remonstrated strongly with the Turkish com-
mandant in Cyprus, who had inflicted dreadful
cruelties on the Greek; although he could not help
executing the repeated order to place at she disposal
of the Porte a squadron with 1,500 troops on board.
yet he would not allow his son Ibrahim to depart,
who had been appointed Pacha and Commander in
Chief in Macedonia ; he even prohibited him from
going to Constantinople.
By leaving such a hostage in the hands of the
Porte he had rendered himself entirely dependant ;
but by a political marneuvre, whilst a part of his
forces is joined with the Turkish fleet; he isssupply-
ing die Greeks with warlike stores, and has made
very advantageous proposals to the insurgents in
Candia, to persuade them to put the island under his
protection.

Some idea may be formed of the extent of
.liaffic
in the City of London, from the tbllowing account
of what passed over London-bridge in one day—
namely, on the 16th of October, 1810; since which, .
it is presumed there has been an increase rather than
a diminution :—Foot passengers, 56,180 ; coaches,
871; gigs and taxed carts, 520 ; waggons, 587 ;
carts and drays, 2,576 ; and horses, 472.
Friday sennight Sir Robert Wilson made his
appearance on horseback, in Pilgrim-street, Newcas-
tle, when a number of persons assembled to have a
sight of the gallant General, who addressed them
in a short speech. He observed, that he had been
selected byMinisters as a fit object of vengeance from
the conscientious opposition he had displayed to their
proceedings. He felt proud that his fellow-coun.
trymen so warmly approved of his conduct. He
had ever regulated that conduct through life by the
strictest principles of honour and independence.—
The
people he had the pleasure of addressing could
better judge of the propriety of his behaviour,
when it came, as it very shortly would, before the
consideration of the House of Commons. From the
documents that would be laid before Parliantent,
they would be enabled to judge how far his abrupt
dismissal from the army was justifiable—they could
then decide how far he had merited their good opi.
nion. The feeling which had been [expressed so
generally throughout the country in his favour, had
made such an indeliable impression on his mind as
no time would erase, and could only cease with his
existence. His gratitude should be expres:.d, not in
words only, but, he assured teem. that when their
liberties were at stake, he should ever be found at his
post, the firm and fintliful advocate of the People's
Rights.

The cruising luggci belonging to the Badger revenue

promptitude and bravery of our boatmen, were say, el.
The wreck was strewed to a considerable &statue
