TUESDAY, JANUARY 29., um.

We received this morning the French Papers
of Saturday, from which we give extracts in a
Preceding column. The reports respecting the
qtlestion betweeen Turkey and Russia are still
contradictory; but if the article from Nurem-
berg which states that the Porte has resolved on
for
nlitig the two Principalities of Moldavia and
'‘-alachia into aPachalik, be confirmed, a is alone
811flicient to provoke a war with Russia ; for,
according to existing treaties, this power has the
right of opposing any innovation in the Govern-
Ment of the two principalities._ -
Tile accounts from Trieste and Frankfort give
I,avottrable reports of the affairs of Greece, and
prove that the Greeks are taking advantage of the
present distracted state' of Turkey to arm and
(liwipline troops, and to introduce amity and
Rigour into their Councils.
A private letter from Madrid, of the 7th, states
that the KING has at length consented to dismiss
his Ministry. We confidently hope this may
lead to the tranquillity of Spain : one good must
result, that the factious at Seville and Cadiz will
slow, be deprived of their pretexts for persevering
in their rebellious course.

N0v.2.8.—( Private Letter.)—" Since
the death of CIIIIISTOPIIE the whOle of the terri-
tory which formerly composed his kingdom, and
the Republic established by PETION, has been
formed into one Government, upon the model of
_that of the Federal Government of the United
•States, viz. a President, Senate, and House of
Representatives. Port-au-Prince is the capital.
The Spaniards who had revolted at Port Dol-
Phin.(9.,6 miles east of Cape Ilaytien). arrived at
Cape Hay tien on the 23d November, and claimed

4 The rains have been very heavy through Out
the whole island of Cubi, more so than has ever
been known before. The crops have suffered
very materially throughout the island. No per-

days, owing to the excessive fall of the rain."

/IELANCHOLIE' 'LOSS OF THE SHIP LADY LUSI.

INGTON:
[EXTRACT FROM THE INDIA GAZETTE.]
• 'CALCUTTA, AUG. 27, 11121.—At a late hour yesterday
evening, and when our paper was nearly prepared' for press,
We were kindly favoured with the following melancholy details
of the loss of the Lady Lushington, and from which we have
learned, with extreme concern, that several persons have been
lost. The account of the calamity is from one of the surviving
mutterers, and we submit
,it nearly in his own language :
" 'We sailed from Madras on the lith, and having four passers- ,
gers to lam! attoringa : saw the light-house at midnight on
the 7th ; tacked about, in hopes of being able to land the four
Passengers (above-mentioned) in the morning, but owing to
the strong currents, we were considerably to leeward of the
Port by day-light; we 'endeavoured two days and a night
to regain the windward, but finding we only lost ground,
cast anchor about fifteen miles to the northward of to-
riuga. The surf ran very high for two days, so we could
have no communication with shore ; we tried to weigh anchor,
and drop down to Penticollah, but all endeavours were
Ineffectual, when the cable parted and night had come on.
..I he Captain gave orders to stand out to sea until 12 o'clock
at night, and then tack in to the land: the chief mate took the
4rnmand of the deck at midnight, and thinking we had sailed
110, far from the land that we could not possibly reach it, before
(I_,kr-break, theehip tacked—a breeze having sprung up we were
4Lartned by the ship'striking slightly on the sand about 4 o'clock
.111 the morning. Nothing can paint the distressing scene; the
high land was just perceptible, and every wave driving over
the ship added to our . horrible situation. In' half an hour
every mast was over the ship's side (to leeward); the ship had
drifted into a tremendous surf, every boat was staved in the at-
teMpt to lower them, and the land half a mile on our lee- we had
oothingto tru at to but the waves, and to place our confidence in
the Almighty. The 'scene of horror and distress then became
Indescribable. The cries of the females and children were
heart-rending. It was said that the bottom had parted from
the upper works. Every person was naked, and up to the
oiiddle in water, and the distress was increasing every m-
illmut. Three spars of wood were got over the side on which
Persons, including myself, providentially reached the shore;
but we were all so much exhausted, that had not .the natives come
tu our assistance, the return Of the surf would have carried us
out again ;-we found on the shore a sailor who had been washed
uverhoard," to whom the safety of so many lives is owing : he
fortunately spoke the language and succeeded in getting four
Vatarnarans from the shore to the assistance of the suf-
zerers • a large boat was got off, but could not get nearer than
one hundred yards., and with difficulty was kept above water.
At eleven, the ship parted across the centre, and all the crew
passengers were obliged to get on the masts to have the
tui.P as a breakwater, from which many were washed away,
V_eml; so fatigued they co old not hold on. The Catamarans
nit at work until two o'clock, when the wind increased that
luercould not get near the wreck, and had afterwards to desist,
muting it impossible to be of further use. A Frenchman, his
wife and two daughters, with two of the crew, were seen on the
lteck ; at four o'clock the stern parted, on which the French
'I4Y, with her eldest daughter, reached the shore ; the father,
with the other daughter„ perished, as did the two sailors, one of
whom was seen at dark sticking to the remains of the bows,
which ,was held by the Anchors. The shore for six miles was
strewed with the ship and cargo. The total. number that
„perished is stated to be 22. It is added that Capt. Scott exerted
himself wonderfully, and is free from all blame."

••AKOTHER ACCOUNT.
[EXTRACT FROM JOHN BULLINT THE EAST-CALCUTTA,

AUGUST 27, 1821.1
" Just as our paper was goinc, to press, we gained the fol-
lowing particulars regarding the loss of the ship Lady Lush-
ington, which:may be, depended on :—The Captain sailed
fry Madras on the. sth instant, intending to -land Major
Yeatherall and his.. Lady at Coringa. On the evening of
the 7th, they saw the Coringa light, but could not snake the,
Nnt after beating for it fOr several days, the Captain re-

saved to make for Pentacottab, which. he neared, we b•T-
lieve, on the evening of the 11th, and then, cast anchor.—
Having however parted from this the Captain stood out for sea
about midnight the officer of the watch conceiving they were A
sufficient distance to allow of their running in shore during the
remainder of the night, put the ship about. A. brine from
the seaward arose towards morning, and at four o'clock, A.M.
the vessel was driven further 'in shore, and at length stuck
firm on the sand about half a mile from the beach. - It was
now apparent that all was lost, and every one began to think
how best to save himself—so:ne got on shore on spars, almost
miraculously through the dreadful 'surf, others in catamarans,
which wereprovided by. a heroic seaman, who swam on shore
and collected all the natives he could find.—The number lost
was 22, among whom, we regret to state, were Capt. Hampton,
7th Madras Native Infantry, Ensign Wright, Mr. Wilson, for-
merly. Purse! in the country service, Mr. Ito seas and his
daughter, and Mr. Lyster, 2d officer of the Lushington. The
ship parted in two at eleven, A.M., and before evening scarce a
vestige of her was visible. Airs. kosseau, who was saved, was
on the stern, and her unfortunate husband was on the stem,
when she parted.—Major Weatherall and his . Lady are like-
wise safe, and Mr. Carpenter, onl7 son of Colonel Carenter.
The situation of the su.vivors is said to have been truly deplor-
able;.- all were nearly without clothes. The Commander is ac-
quitted of blame."

SOUTH AmEtticA.—Numerous letters were re-
ceived in town yesterday-from South America,
brought by the Own Glendower, but they add
little to the information given in our paper of
yesterday. The entry of the troops under Gen.
.CANTARAC, is considered a favo'urable circum-
stance rather than other Wise for the Independent
cause, and likely the sooner to bring the contest
to a termination. They remained for two days
drawn up in view of the army of General SAN
MARTIN, «ho then permitted them, without ma -
lestation, to enter the fortress. General CAN-
TARAC, it is understood, could take with him no
supply of provisions, which were the real want of
the garrison, sufficient before to defend Callao
against a much more powerful force than SAN
MARTIN commanded, but which was now. likely,
by the additional number of months, to be reduced.
the sooner to extremity. The feeling of the lower
.orders in Lima is Stated' to be decidedly. in favour
of SAN MARTIN : he had raised 4,000 negro
volunteers in, two' days, and a s4pply of more
than 10,000 muskets would,reach him about the
20th of September from Valparaiso.—The Ed-
_ _

ward Ellice and Lord Suffield; two of the vessels
sent into Valparaiso for adjudication by Lord
COCHRANE, have been liberated, and proceeded
on voyages to Peru. They had scarcely left the
port, when the Creole frigate arrived from Lima,
on board of which were documents found by
Lord CocuaANE in that city, of a nature to jus.
tify the detention of those vessels. The Lord
Cathcart and the Indian, which remained at Val-
paraiso under similar circumstances, would, it
was supposed, in consequence of the additional
evidence procured, be condemned.

Letters from Malta to the 20th of December
state, that the Government of the island had
issued a proclamation, prohibiting the exporta-,
tion of warlike stores or ammunition. The brig
Nymph, which arrived a few days before from
London, with muskets and 400 barrels of gun-
powder on board, was laid under an embargo ;
but as her cargo was originally intended for Con-
stantinople, it was supposed she would be suf-
fered to proceed. The only consequence of the
prohibition would be to transfer all the trade in
the articles comprehended in it to Genoa and Leg-
horn, where no such impediment existed. This
measure was extremely unpopular with the British
merchants resident in Malta, who were looking
with some degree of hope to the removal of old
restrictions, rather than anticipating. new, ob-
stacles to their declining commerce. Sir Tito-
m.l.s MAITLAND arrived there a few days before
from Corfu. He has desired the principal mer-
chants of Malta to submit to him their opinion
respecting the continuance of the monopoly in
corn, together with the grounds on which that
opinion was formed. A report was current that
this branch of the trade of the island will be
thrown open in June next.

Extract of a letter dated Santiago di Chili,
Oct. 9.—" The death of Carrera, in Mendoza,
will restore tranquillity to that and the neigh-
bouring provinces, as well as give greater secu-
rity to that which we enjoy already. Benavides
is again disturbing the Province of Conception,
but the force which is on its march against him
ought to be fully sufficient to put him down.—
Last year he built a vessel, with which he took
one or two whalers, and lately received, it is
said, from the Spanish Ambassador in Rio Ja-
neiro, a supply of arms. But his ships are ren-
dered useless, by his having cut up their sails for
clothing for his men, and two armed vessels have
sailed from Valparaiso, to take or destroy them.
The issue of the campaign in Peru is looked to
with a very natural anxiety, but with great con-
fidence, as no doubt San Martin will continue to
lact with that prudence and discernment which
he has hitherto shewn."

Extract of a letter recently received atGreenock
from Demerara ItouGn, the President, has
been lately suspended by the Governor, a thing
which was devoutly prayed for, and expected to
happen a year ago. The Court of Justice has
undergone a thorough purification, in the nomi-
nation of new members, and Judicial business
now proceeds with regularity, in the most satis-
factory manner. In other respects, lam sorry
to say, that the interest of the Planters continues
to suffer severely from the uncommon depression
in the produce markets, at home, and that of the
merchants here, suffers proportionately, from the
intimate connection that subsists between the two
bodies. In short, business is alMost at a stand."

Yesterday THOMAS EVINCE, Esq. who has for
21 years presided as a Magistrate at Union Hall
Police Office, resigned the. situation, and MAU-
RICE SWABEY, Esq. was appointed to fill it. The

quence of the respect entertained for him by the
late and present Lord Chancellors, he was suc-
cesively appointed a Commissioner of Lunatics,
a Commissioner of Tam Quays, and a Commis-
sioner of Bankrupts, which he still holds. He
is now hi -the nth year of his age. "
