ST. PETERSBURG, OCT. 11-11 is Majesty the Emperor
arrived on the 25th of September at Taganroy. The Empress
Eliza passed on the 30th through Belgorod in Volhynia.—

vourable effect on her ;11ajeity's health.

Count Gurjew, who was Minister of Finance from 1808 to
1823, and afterwards Chief of the Imperial Cabinet and Mini..
ster of the Appanages, died yesterday, after a long and painfu I
illness, aged 68 years.

The St. Petersburgh Journal has copied from German
Papers the accounts of the sale of some old Swedish men of war,
" from which it appears that the whole affair is purely commer-
cial, and has nothing to do with politics."
The Russian brig `Volga left New Archangel, in the island
of Sitka, on the 16th May this year, and arrived on the 18th of
June at Ochotzk, with a cargo of furs. Our Colonies on the
N. W. coast were provided with all necessaries, and were on
good terms with the neighbouring tribes.

FRANKFORT, OCT. 25.—Accounts from Manheim, of the

HAGUE, OCT. 27.—The Minister of the Marine invites
the owners of ships destined to the West Indies, who are dis-
posed to freight the whole or part of their ships during 1826,
at a moderate price, to carry coals to Curacoa, to apply per.
sonally, or by letter, to the Board, as Amsterdam, Rotterdam,
or Flushing, stating the particulars. His Majesty's frigate

Amsterdam.

BRUSSELS, OCT. 25.—0 n the 21st of this month such a
heavy snow fell at Beaumont, in Hainault, that vast damage
was done in the forests by the breaking of the branches ;
the fruits have also suffered severely. It is feared that similar
damage has been done above Chimay.
Some of our Journals contain a singular article, dated
Paris, 9th October. It is inserted in the Courier du Puy:
Bas, and since then in the Antwerp Commercial Journal. It
is a petition, purporting to be addressed io his Majesty
Charles X. by M. de Chaumont Quitry, formerly a Flag
Officer in the French Navy. Two phrases are placed at the
head of the address ; first, on the one side:—

" I desire that my remains may repose on the banks of the
Seine, in the midst of the French, Tyhom I have so much loved."
And on the other side the words addressed by Louis XVIII.
to those who lamented Napoleon .—" I esteem, I honour you
more on this account." The author builds on this generous
declaration of the late King, to supplicate his present Majesty-
to fulfil Napoleon's last wish.
" Ifq" says the article in question, " what is not likely, the
request of 11,1. de Chaumont, should be listened to at Paris, he
would have make a second applicatintLin
ment, which t,P. ptaced a military post at Napoleon's tomb,
witti orders to keep guard over it night and day.

AMERICAN PAPERS.

NEW YORK. OCT. 5.

LATEST FROM CHILL—The Baltimore Gazette of Tues-
day acknowledges the receipt of intelligence from Valparaiso
to the 23d of June, and from Copiapa to the 12th of July ; by
which it appears that the Spanish sloop of war Achilles had
arrived at the former place, to which she had been carried by
her crew, and delivered up to the Chilian Government. This
vessel is the one which separated from the Asia, 74, and Con-
stante, with intention of returning to Spain, but it appears that
the officers met with no better success in this attempt than the
commanders of the other vessels.

In addition to the foregoing (says the American), we, earn
that a passenger in the Eagle reports that the northern section
of Chili, including Coquimbo, had seceded from -the Chilian
republic, in consequence of dissatisfaction at the proceedings of
the Congress. We have endeavoured, but without success, to
gain further particulars.
A letter from St. Thomas of the 17th of September, mentions

the execution of Pfeiffer and Hilyard, the two ringleaders of
the gang of pirates detected in St. Thomas some months since.
Pfeiffer was a black man. The coloured population present at
the execution behaved remarkably well.

September inclusive. From these papers we extract the follow-
ing disastrous accounts of a gale experienced there :-
NASSAU, SEPT. 8.

Our paper was thus far in type by two o'clock yesterday,
when the wind increased to little short of a hurricane. The

storm, blowing from the N.E., continued to increase in vio-
lence until after midnight-, when the wind veered roundloN.W.
and was then accompanied with heavy rain, and did not, abate
in any considerable degree until seven o'clock this morning. - .
The schooner Mary Elizabeth, which arrived yesterday; is
on shore, as is also the cutter Mary, from Liverpool ; and seve-
ral of the small craft have been drove onshore.
SEPTEMBEIIIO.

We are gratified to find that Captain Prudden and the other
persons who, at considerable risk, went off on Tuesday laSt to
the assistance of the French ship Arethuse at the west end, have.
returned safe, after having been the Means' in a great measure,
Of preserving tbe lives of the master and crew. As was ex-
pected,
from the violence of the weather, the ship parted her
cables and went on shore about two o'clock on Wednesday,
and soon bilged. Of the cargo, which consisted of sugar,
coffee, cotton and hides, but very little has been saved and
brought to town.
The cutter Mary, Brown, master, which drove on shore in
the harbour, is full of water, and her cargo has been landed in
a damaged state.
The schooner Mary Elizabeth, which was also on shore, has
been got off, and her cargo landed with little damage. We
have not yet heard of any other vessels, except a few small
craft, having been blown on shore, but there is little doubt
but we shall have some melancholy account yet to give, if
the gale was as violent in other quarters as it was here. We
have heard of no serious injury having been done to the.houses
in and about town, except the piazza of Mrs. Taylor's house
on the hill, which was blown away on Wednesday night. Some
fences were thrown dowii, and the trees both for ornament and
fruit have suffered severely.

SEPTEMBER'I2.
The brigantine Mary Ann, of this port, T. Russell master,
sailed from hence on the 31st ult., and was wrecked on the 6th
instant on one of the Exuma Keys, on her way to Ragged
Island, where. she was to take in a load of salt for Darien, in
Georgia. The vessel was in a short time dashed to pieces, but
the master and crew with great difficulty escaped to the shore,
where they remained without having saved any provisions from
the wreck, subsisting all that time on shell-fish and palmeto
cabbage. A small schooner from Exuma, in passing the place,
observed the signals, and brought Captain Russell and his
crew to town on Satnrday night.
Captain Waters reports that the accounts from the islands
were very distressing—houses, &c., blown down, and several
families obliged to take shelter under one roof. No intelligence

felt in that- quarter.
