The Turkish *set, as we eve heard, has passed
along the lk!urea, going tontlrt.la the Dardanelles,
but constantly pursued anti annoyed by the Greek
fleet, and losing continually oe the voyage. On the
13th of September it entered the gullet' Napoli di
Romania ; immedattely all the Greek vessels left
the islands of the Archipelago, and joined their squa-
dron, which now proposes, with its great strength, to
attack and destroy the Ottoman fleet. News how
this quarter is expected with impatience: the inha-
bitants of the islands arc animated with the greatest
enthusiasm, and the position of the Turkish fleet in
the Gulf is nut at all favourable, and renders itr
defeat easy.
CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 12.—The following is
a copy of the note presented by Lord Strungford to
the Sublime Porte on the 27th of August:—
" The Ambassador has the honour to call the attention of the
Sublime Porte to an object which is of gm highest importance
to tlor interests of the British enembants.
" On different occgaions the undersigned has already ad
dressed to the BeissF,tfeudi, representations on the subject of
the debts which Euglioli subjects have to recover from the pro
perty of Greeks who fled at the eoueniencemeat of the rebel •
lion.
" The department of the Defteirdariat, to whiell this affair
was referred, has constantly replidd that the question could
only be decided according to the Alussulman la's's, and that
those laws, always wider and just, did not periui. the Sublime
Porte to dispose of the property of its Gel/ subjects, sinless
the proprietors were present, or duly represented by their at-
tonnes.
" It is, however, matter of public notoriety that most of th•
Greeks ill question have only bee, induced to expatriate theta-
selves by the tear and alarm which the public ein.rveseence hid
generally diffused on the first moments ut. the 'wlt, when
the distinction between the ianoesat mid the guilt, was but
well established, and when all Cheeks, without exception, rip-
[scored Ofiltlillfti in the eyes of an exasperstA populace.
0 It is also notorious that these -Greeks, whose only Crime
is timidity (and whom the Alabasaitsluedoes out °outward with
the traitors who have fled to aroigo a well-merited punishment)
bairn fur the most part takes lop/Vin foreign countries, that
they sosious/y long for the inunwert when they may retort'
to their homes, and that nothing but fear and uwaertaiu.y as to
the reception they might experhioetil, stilt induces them to re-
main nailer the dominion of another Power.
" To dissipates thus& approlianaions—to tor-onto their native
land these unfortunate victims of a very natural alarm—in tine,
to enable British subjects to mover what is due to thou by
personally suing their duties before the comprtr at oilman's.
requires only a word from the Sublime Porte. Let, then, that
word be spoken! The unfortunate aloe whom the force of oir-
ourustanoes have alone driveu to a temporary removal from their
country, will then return. The Ouvernineut will resume its
rights over a oolisideraLle part of-its own subjects, and those
of the King of Great Britain wilt not base to experience the
fatal riled.% which the prolonged absence of their debtors
must produoe tin their Lamest*.
" The total of the dementia ;amounts to so large a sum, and
the necessity of payment has become to urgent, that the Am-
bassador would be wanting in his duty if he did not request the
Sublime Porte to adopt the only mesas which in the actual
state of things can obtain fur Engliah creditors that jostles
which they have long and vainly onlicitod—namely, by making
publicly kuowu what are the Wend's'', of the Guserunieut with
respect to the debtors, and by giving a formal assurance that
they nay without risk to their persons, return home and appear
before tho competent tribunals, th order that justice may be
dole to their creditors.
" The ambassador in recommending this Important proposi-
tion to the acknowledged wisdom and equity of the Sublime
Porte, anises this OCO3iIOII to have the honour, bcc• ita.

turnable in 12 mouths after the advance.
Eigbty.seven vessels entered the port of Haven-
nah during the month of August, viz.-34 Ame-
ricans, 83 Spanish, 15 English, one French, one •
Hamburgh, one Dutch, one Sicilian, and one Por-
tuguese ; besides I I vessla of war, five of which
were strangers, and six Spaniards.
(Peon the Notional latelligencer of Sept. 20.)
Lieutenant Weaver, of the navy, arrived in this
city on Friday last, from the Pacific, though not
immediately from our squadron in that sea. He
left Lima about the 25th of June, shortly before
which u battle took place between the royalists and
a division el San Martin's army, in which the latter
were decisively beaten, and nearly destroyed. No
other event of importance bad recently occurred.—
Lieutenant ‘Veaver came overlord from the Pacific
to the Atlantic, across the Isthmusof Panama.
A new Orleans paper of the 15th August, states
that General A. Jackson will receive all the votes
of Louisiana, for President of the United States,
in addition to those of Tenessee. It is likewise
stated that he will be supported by South Carolina,
his native State, Georgia, Mississippi, and Als-
bane. If Kentucky and Ohiho should be thrown
into the scale, he certainly will become a very kir.
mitlable candidate.
By the sloop Sal/.7, Captain Williams, arrived at
this port in nineteen days from Maracaibo, via Cu-
racoa, we learn that every thing remained tranquil,
not apprehending an attack front the enemy. • So-
licitous for the safety of the coast to windward,
nearly all the troops had been withdrawn for the
protection of Luguira, Curaccas, and Valencia.—
Captain Williams arrival at Curacoa, August 23.
On the 2litit, tour Spanish transports appeared off
' the harbour, and took pilots tin. the Gulf' of Vene.
aucla. They were said to be part of a squadron or
eighteen sail, intended I,r a descent on Maracaibo,
with 1,400 troops, under Morales. There re-
mained no doubt at Curacoa, of the amouat of
troops, or the object of the movements. Front the
situation in which Captain %Vetiver left Maracaibo,
he is of opiuion, that if an iintnediate and resolute
attack was made, that important post must tall to
the Spaniards. In that event, all neutral property
would be converted to their use without ceremony,
under the authority,of a pa per blockade, for no
other has existed, as Captain Weaver has entered
that port tour times during the last seven mouths,
without having seen a single Spanish cruiser. The
amount of American property at Maracaibo would
not probably exceed 12,000 dollars; and that of
British belonging principally to merchants of Li-
verpoJl, 100,0001.; and also a cunsideruble alumna
of Dutch property. Although it was rumoured ut
Curacoa that, in consequence of the many civilities,
Sir. (It:fiend Morales had received from the Mita.
bitants, Duteli property would be. respected. Capt.
Weaver is, however, of opinion, that the respet
shown by Morales to Dutch property will be of that
kiwi shown by ai hungry 111411 to a EtVOUrite dish,
placed within his reach.

SEPT.3o.—(Extract of a private letter.)
—We have had ter some days frequent arrivals of
vessels from Constantinople, and they all bring us
news which is favounible to the cause of the Greeks
in the Peloponnesus and the Mores. The captains
of these vessels, to whatever ration they may belivig,
are all agreed that at present there prevails a general
humiliation and discounigcment at Constantinople.
The exlutusted state of the treasury—the avidity of
the Government, which covets all the precious me-
tals yet in the possession of individuals, and the bad
news which bus arrived from Greece, and from Asia,
where the Persians have gained great advantages,
have all conspired to produce, discontent and con-
sternation in the inhabitants of the capital. At the
departure of the last of these vessels, the news of a
great naval victory obtained by the Greeks in the
vicinity of the Straits of Negropont was also in cir-
culation. It is generally agreed that the lielleniatie
have fought valiantly in the, Morea at the last inva-
siOn, that the Lieutenant of Chourschid has been
bhatnefuliy driven out of it, and that there remain
very few of all the warriors who accompanied him,.
except a few fugitives who have found refuge for a
short time in the walla of Corinth. We confess that
the Greeks have signelised themselves by their acne
vity and their courage—that they have done much,
more even than could he expected from a people so
long et.ervated by the most cruel eluvery. But we
do not the less look thrward to the future without
inquietude. The last victories which the Greeks
have gained mey,llllrhaps, not be succosaaS, and may
induce a ime of the Christian l'on'ers to declare in
favour of the Turks. According to the principles
proclaimed in some European Cabinets, one is almost
tempted to believe, that they are disposed to make
common cause with the Divan. It is, beside., no
longer a mystery, abet a Power which always pre-
tends to the direction of European uilliirs, WisleS it
to be formally declared at the approaching Cougress,
uud adopted as q. principle, that the Sublime Porte
turrns an integral part of the European system, and
which signifies, in other words, that the Grand Sig-
nior is a member of the Holy Alliance, though lie
has not yet been required to sign that soltann treaty.
But his Highness will always reap from it the great-
est advantages, liar this treaty insures him against
every body a guarantee ler his provinces, and the
integrity of the Ottoman empire.
BIICUAREST, SEPT. 26—The new Hospodar,
Ghika, has made his entry into this city, surrounded
by his Counts, and by 2,700 Turks, who served him
as an escort. The former Turkish garrison, pretty
well enriched during its stay here, has given way to
these new corners. We hope, however, that no
more than 700 men will remain in Bucharest, and
that the rest will Le cuntoned in the neighbouring
villages.
FitONTattil or Moat:mem —What has passed in
the two principalities slime two years, and is now
passing, exceeds all belief. Posterity will not credit
our recitals, and yet they are perfectly correct. The
Turks, a appears, have the privilege of bringing the
plague into Europe, and they do not neglect to
make use of it. The two Christian provinces of
Wallachia and Moldavia are now transfunned into
two Turkish Pachalics. A Divan-Effendi, under
the name of a Christian Prince, decides on the lite
er death of the unhappy Wallachians and Male-
viatis. The evacuation, of which so tinic:, bus twee
said, was wily a ridiculous piece of fraud and decep-
tion, fur us Janissaries, gorged with blood and pil-
lage, departed on one side, there entered on the
enter the Bulgarian militia, equally desirous of
plunder. Misfortunes succeed uninterruptedly, and
no end to them is foreseen, for the audacity and i
,-
silence of the Turk: constantly increase. The Iles-
podar, Gliika, has arrived with a corps of fresh
troops, and of hungry courtiers, at Bucharest, after •
tne troops had lett. This is the promised evacua-
tion !
Tatrsre, OCT. B.—We have received important
news trout the 141orea—the wiw bud taken
refuge in Corinth, made a sully on Sept. 16, which
had a fatal termination for them. The Greeks killed
6,000 of them, and afterwards made themselves
masters of the town and port of Corinth. The ro-
mains of the Quotient army had again taken refuge
in the citadel, where there aro also 5,000 woanthd
and sick, which also ells nut a little to the embara
