PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 17.--This morning the Ganges,
Captain : loyd (a free trader), passed by for the giver, land-
ing several passengers here, from Madras and the Mauritius.
She left Madras on the 27th Of March. The Portland was
to sail from Madras, for England, on'the Ist of May. When
she left the Mauritius, the surveying. ships Leven, Captain
W. F. Owen, Barraconta, Captain Vidal, and the Albatross
schooner, were at the Seychelles; they .had investigated the
dangers of the East Coast of Africa, and were about to
complete a survey of the whole island of Madagascar; after-
wards they would refit at the Mauritius., and proceed to exa-
mine the coast to the westward of the Cape of Good Hope. Sir
Lowry-Cole, the esteemed Governor, and the troops. at the
Mauritius, were all well. The. Ganges left at St. Helena, the
Florentia, which had lost her bowspint off the Cape, in lat. 8.
N., and spoke the Java, from London to Calcutta all well,
with troops on board. Commodore Schrunedar, late Governor
of Tranquebar, on his way to Copenhagen, and Lieut. Johnes,
late of the Leven, came passengers.
This morning the Scout, 13; Captain Wigston, arrived from
Jamaica ; she touched at Porto Rico. She -brings accounts
from Port Royal to the 4th of Aug., when the troops had become
very sickly, particularly the 50th and 77th Regiments.—
The Lively frigate, Captain W. Elliott, C.B. had returned
to Port Royal, from the Havaunah, and landed the Surgeon
Assistant Surgeon, four Midshipmen, and. a number of men
at the Hospital, who had been attacked with fever. We are
sorry to state, that Mr. G. F. Ryves, (son of Rear-Admiral
Ryves and a fine young man) and Mr. R. Winloo, Midship-
men, had fallen victims td the disease. . The Lively wasanoved
into harbour, to be cleared. The other ships- lying at Port
Royaal, weree healthy, viz. the Huzzar, Rattlesnake, Bellette,
Pylades, and Scylla. Lieut. Seaton, , Lieut. Love, Lieut. R.
Kellow, R.M. and Maynard, Midshipman, came home inva-
lided.

On Thursday, the Bustard, 10, Captain Sandom, arrived
from Chatham, fitted for the Jamaica station. Remain at Spit-
head—Glasgow, Tweed, Bustard, and Scout. The Icarus is
come into harbour to be paid off:
The Albion; 74, Captain Ommanney, will go out of harbour
On Monday, fitted for the Lisbon station.

Since the return of the BOURBONS in 181.3, six
Vice Admirals, 25 Rear Admirals, 80 Captains of men of war,
and 85 Captains of frigates, have been appoic ted. There are
in active service 260 Lieutenants, and 400 Ensigns of vessels
created since that time. There ate not more than 30 of the
old creations.

Extracts from the French and German Papers
will be found in a preceding column. By these
paragraphs it will be seen, that the Turkish Go-
vernment has lately received several memorials
with great complaints against the English Go-
♦ernment for the assistance rendered to the
Greeks by British subjects. This alleged disre-
gard of the principles of neutrality between the
belligerent Powers has, it seems, excited the
anger of the SULTAN, who would have sequestered
the property, and arrested the persons' of English
subjects, but for the more cool and tempe-
rate counsels of his Ministers. Mr. TURNER,
the English Ambassador at Constantinople, was
so importuned by the Porte on this account that
he was compelled to withdraw as much as pos.
Bible from public business.

The rumour of the capture of Napoli de Mato.
voisa by IBRAHIM is contradicted in the llfoniteur
of. Friday last, and the raising of the siege of
Missolonghi is spoken of as even yet requiring
confirmation. Of the operations of IBRAHIM in
the Mores, nothing certain is known.
The Constitutionnel. has received a copy of the
Protest of General Rocitz and Mr. WASHING.
TON, the Deputies from the Greek Committees in
Paris and the United States, against the resolu.
tion of the Greek Government to place their
country under the protection of England. We
really should wish to know how these Gentle-
men are interested in Greece to authorise them
thus to intermeddle in its counsels.

Lisbon Gazettes to the 10th of September ar-
rived here this day, together with Brussels and
Harnburgh Papers, the first to the 17th and the
latter to_ the 13th September. Their contents
are perfectly unimportant. The Lisbon Gazette
contains an official account of the execution of
BESSIERES, also a new law for the better detec-
tion of persons guilty of sacrilege. 'We subjoin
a short extract from this Journal :
LISBON, SEPT. 7.
A Royal Decree appoints a Junta to examine into the claims
of the owners of vessels which conveyed the troops from some
ports of Brazil.
SEPT. 9.—His Majesty has been pleased to resolve, that his
Decree of the 26th February last, exempting from the payment
of duties the brandy necessary for the preparation of the wines
exported from the Custom-house of Sete.Casas, shall be ex-
tended to the whole kingdom for wines exported s a certain
quantity of brandy being allowed for each pipe.

cc An Evening Paper of last week, in its dull
cc mu ,ter of Election Contests, inserted under the
cc head of Harwich, a stupid rumour, of Mr.
cc CANNING'S secession from Parliament, and Lord
" CLANRICARDE'S promotion tor high official
« rank. In such a paper only could any thing
cc half so silly find report or denial. The thing,
4' in its face, is absurdly ridiculous."
The above is a quotation from the columns of
a Sunday Journal, and the Evening Paper allud-
e l to is THE SUN. The report referred to we
gave as it reached us, and without in any degree

meaning to warrant its truth, or imagining for a
moment we should be so severely rebuked fo.r.
giving publicity to an "On dit," which we diet
not credit. Were we so disposed, however, vtei
could easily defend the paragraph on the score
probability,on the ground of the very disagreement
the Paper in question refers to as existing in the
Cabinet, and thwarting Mr. CANNING'S views'
and the even now undecided point, whether 1-,nr.
liament will or will not be dissolved this antomn;
But that is unnecessary, for if we had considered
there was any thing like truth in this statement
it is not probable we should have passed over s°
important an event in the brief manner we did.
The editor of the paper in question has not
more respect for the talents Mr. CANNING Un-
doubtedly possesses than ourselves, and INnst
assuredly no person can entertain greater admira-
tion than we do for the wisdom, firmness, and
truly British feeling which the foreign policy of
the Right Hon. Gentleman has at all times dis-
played. The benefits resulting front this policy
are obvious, and so truly grateful are we fa
them, that we should contemplate the resignatiou
of Mr. CANNING as a public calamity of the
severest nature, and only to be heightened by the
fact, that that resignation was rendered necessary
by the state of his health.

\ New York Papers to the 27th August arrived
Chis morning. The news from the Brazils ea"
responds with that given in our Paper of Sato'''
day last from the Diario Mercantil, relative to
the successes of the insurgents and the retreat of
the Brazilian troops into Monte Video. These
Papers have extracts from the Lima Gazelles to
17th March. By them we learn that the
Congress of Peru was dissolved on the 10th
March. A Law had been passed, authorising the
Liberator to assist Colombia with troops, vessels,
and every necessary succour ; and also another
Law, authorising the advance of the United
Army, at the discretion of the Liberator,. to of
point from whence Peru might be threatened.
with invasion.
It also appears that the restrictions which
under the third article of Provincial Regulation!
of Commerce, of the 28th April, 1821, operate
'l
to the prejudice of. foreigners, have been removed
by a decree of BOLIVAR annulling the same.
General Bor.' VA 12 had set out for the province.
of Upper Peru, having organized a Council
of Government. The constituent Congress Ge'
neral of the provinces of Rio de la Plata have
sanctioned the Military Law, relative to
the creation of a national army; it is to consist.
of one battalion of artillery, and four bat"
talions of infantry; each battalion of six comPa'
nies of one hundred men each.

Jamaica Papers tothe 31st July are arrive',
but they contain nothing of importance ; and th'
Colombian Papers to 21st July, are equally you
of interest. •
