GOSPORT ORSIERVATORY, OCT. 15.—Lastitigitt
the COMIT was again seen here, in the Constellation 'o"theina
Sculptoria. It was on- the meridian about a quarter fast II
o'clock, six degrees above the horizon, and 150 degrees from
the sun, when its right ascension was sixteen degrees" and de,
lineation 33 degrees 30 minutes South. It has moved through
a space of 19 degrees since the night of the 7th inst. equal to
3 deg. 10 min. a day. It was not so bright as in thes night
of the 7th, nor was its luminous train so long by four degrees,
arising, perhaps, from the effect of a thick haze in that part of
the horizon. From the direct south-west motion, and the .Pre-
sent position of this comet, in comparison of (Winer observations
made on it, we have no hesitation in saying, it is the same that
has been so erroneously described in several of the Londonuels-
papers, and taken for different comets ; for it would bean untom
mon phenomena to see several comets in the same hemisphere.
The mistakes, however, no doubt arose from the inequality of its
motion. Since the 10th of last July (a day that will be long re-
membered from the circumstance of the oppressive hent), when
this comet was said by M. Biela (see Phil. 1 and Joni: for
August) to have been two or three degrees above the right ear
of the constellation Taurus, -it has passed through a space in
the heavens of 75 degrees, but its motion has been extremely
irregular, varying at intervals from half to upwards- of three
degrees a day. Its south declination is now sogreat,'ind its
motion so very quick, that it will not be seen in this.liEtittle
after the 16th instant ; but- to the inhabitants of southern Isti.
tucks, this' celestial visiter will be an object of achniraticin -.a*
it is evidently descending nearer to the earth.—At five-o'clock
in in the morning of the 12th instant, Mars and Jupiter were: in
conjunction—viz. within half a degree of each other: By the
side of Jupiter, Mars did not appear larger than a star of, the
first magnitude. In the following night, when Mars pe.k.sed,
the northern ~ide of Jupiter, they were some minutes etpter
together. Hampshire Telegraph.)

FRENCII PAPERS.

( Prom the Etoile, dated Saturday, Oct. 16.)

-141118110 RM, SEPT. 23.—A vessel which has arrived here
from Tripoli has landed the crew of a Roman vessel taken by
the Tripolitans. These pirates have just taken four or five other
Roman vessels.

Letters from Alexandria, of the 20th August, announce, that
since the attempt made by the Greek fire-ships, the Viceroy has '
ordered very rigorous measures to prevent similar attacks.
The Nile being very low this year, it appears that the harvest
will not be very abundant.
CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 10:—Ibrahim Paclia lias conti-
nued his. retrograde movement from Tripolizza to Nisi, or, as
others atErin, to Navarin. It is inferred from this that his
forces must be much weakened, antrit is doubtful whether he
will be. able soon to, receive from Egypt the reinforcements
whieh.he expects, since the insurrection in the isle of Candia
has made' great progress. The insurgents have not only made
themselves masters of several fir,tifiee posts, but they seem to
reckon on a great many partisans.
Since the last fruitless attack on Missolonghi, Redschid
Pacha has been at Arta, whiCh gave rise to the report that the
siege was entirely raised, though it still continues on the land-
side.
At Constantinople every thing is tranquil, and the removal
of the Selictar Aga, known as the favourite of the Sultan, and
that of the Aga of the Janissaries, have not yet produced any
effect.
OCT. 14.—The health of the Sovereign Pontiff is
no better. His Holiness passes the night in a painful want of
steep. It is feared that his disorder proceeds from a scorbutic
Immour.
Another sum of 189,009 francs has been granted by the Mi-
nistei of the Interior for the inhabitants of Salins. The first
sum sent to the Prefect of the Jura was 200,000 francs. His
Excellency has also granted 3,000 francs to the unfortunate
persons bitten by a mad wolf, in the department of the Aube.
The Spanish revolutionists at 'rangier continue to conspire
against their country. These ardent Apostles of Liberation
have placed themselves under the protection of his Majesty the
Emperor of Morocco, who causes relief to be sent to them.
Among the friends of liberty and equality, who support with
the most zeal and suscess the manoeuvres of. these sincere par-
tisans of the constitutional system, the Pacha of Tangier is
particularly distinguished. The Consul of the King of Spain
has in vain endeavoured to obtain the expulsion of these good
patriots. They continue freely to'correspond, by way of Gibral-
tar, with the Colombians, whose vessels cruise in the Straits,
and they use all their eftbrts to excite to revolt the garrison
of Ceuta, as well as the galley-slaVes in that place. Emis-
saries from Ceuta place themselves under the protection of
the Moons at Tangier, in spite of the treaties relative to de-
serters, and go and concert with their brethren and friends,
who endeavour to demonstrate to the liberal Sovereign of
Morocco the immense advantages that he will derive from
the neighbourhood of the Colombian republicans, if they suc-
ceed in making themselves masters of that Spanish possession.

(From the Quotidienne.)
MADRID, SEPT. 30.—An extraordinary courier sent by
General Eguia, commanding the army in Galicia, has brought
the news of the sailing of the expedition for _the Havanr.ah on
the 26th of September. The letters of the 24th stated, that
the troops, 3,000 in number, were embarked, and that the
convoy, consisting of three brigs and two frigates (the Iberia
and Lealta), waited only for a favourable wind.—The nomina-
tion of General Cruz to succeed the present Governor of the
Havannah is not confirmed. Every body is glad that this
change has not been made, for it is impossible to behave with
More prudence than General Vives, who is esteemed by all the
inhabitants of Cuba. It is s;id that Father Cerillo, General of
the Franciscans, and one of the members of the new Junta,
has advised to prohibit the admission of novices into the religi-
ous orders, and to suppress the convents, in which there is but
a small number of monks. It is even added that this reform
has already been ordered by him in the order of which he is the
chief.

BUENOS AYRES.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sta-1 nor clad to observe that the. English
Press sterns disposed to do justice to the injured Emperor, and
calumniated Minister of Brazils' and I congratulate you on
taking the lead in dispersing the obloquy with which it has
been lately attempted to overwhelm them.
You say in your introductOry observations io the insertion, on
the 6th instant, of an extract from a letter, dated Buenos
Ayres the 4th July last, that " in the absence of any link to
connect the author of the Pamphlet quoted in that extract with
the Government of Buenos Ayres, it would be unjust to im-
pute the motive of stirring up the Republics of South America
to expel the Emperor of Brazils from his dominions, to that
Go*ernment (alias the Provinces of de la Plata)", I presume
from hence you have not read my letter inserted in the Courier
of the Ist instant. Had you done so, you would have per-
ceived at once not only a connecting link, but a continuous
chain of evidence, to bring such motive home to the Govern-
ment above mentioned. You would have there seen, that
similar sentiments have been published in this very city,
and nearly about the same time,- as those referred to in
your Correspondent's letter were promulgated at Buenos
Ayres. By referring to the Time: of the 6th ultimo,
to the Lforning Chronicle and Courier, 1 believe, of the
next day, and a subsequent Times (the date of which I do not
recollect), you will be convinced that those sentiments, and the
consequent proposition of expelling the Emperor of Brazils,
and with him Constitutional Monarchy, from America—of
parcelling out the Captaincies of Brazils, like the Viceroyalties
of Spanish South America, into so many Petite Republics--
and of excluding European interference altogether from the
New World, were entertained, if they did not emanate from
the Government of Buenos Ayres ; because an accredited
Diplomatic Agent of that Government to this country
it distinctly referred to as the Author of the Work in
which those sentiments appear, and which has for its title
"Noticias Historicas, Politicas y Estadisticus de las Provincias
Unidas del Rio de la Plata." Moreover these propositions are
made to appear as so many conclusions drawn from the argu-
ments urged by the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs at
Buenos Ayres, in his communications with Mr. Parish, the re-
presentative of the British Cabinet in that City. Thus it ap-
pears to me extremely clear that these sentiments are brought
completely home to the two Emperor: of Buenos Ayres, D.
Juan Gregorio de las Heras and D. Manoel Joze Garcia.
As to the question respecting the " Banda Oriental" (which
you appear to view in its proper light), I should have presumed
from the language of the Historian of Buenos. Ayres, and that
contained in the various publications on the subject which have
!retched Europe from that Capital, that the Government of the
Uoited Provinces of La Plata had a claim to the disputed ter-
ritory, by right of inheritance from Adam or Noah ; that they
would make good their title thereto, either as a legacy left them
by Shorn, Ham, or Japhet—a present made them by Christo-
pher Columbus, Americus Vespucius, or Pedro Alvare Cabral
--Or an award in their favour by some one or more of the Popes
of Rome.
The. fact however is, that the Portuguese were clearly en-
titled eo the " Banda Oriental" by priority of discovery and
settlement. but in consequence of events in Europe, ceded it
by treaty to Spain. Since then it is well known that Artigas
teak and kept possession of it from 1814 to 1817, and was ex-
pelled by John the Sixth whilst resident at Rio de Janeiro, not
only to free the commerce of his own subjects, but that of the
Buenos Ayreans themselves, (who were unequal to the task),
and to protect the Underwriters at Lloyd's from the depre-
dations of that pirate. It is asserted by the Author of the
Noticias Historicas4c." that it was agreed .at the time the
Portuguese expelled Artigas that they would, on tranquillity
being restored, deliver up possession to the Municipal Autho-
ritieis ; this is not exactly correct, the stipulation was, not to
evacuate it in favour of any Foreign Power whatever. It has
since become, by the formal consent of the inhabitants, ex-
pressed through the regular organ of the Municipality, an inte-
gral part of the Empire of Brazils—and supposing a few indi-
viduals protested against such incorporation, is the act the less
valid ?—lf such a principle were acknowledged, the Union of
Ireland with Great Britain would become a dead letter, and
all . our Acts. of Parliament waste paper ! ! Hence it
follows, that, if the. Emperor of Brazils now consented to
the " Banda Oriental," passing over to the domination of
Buenos Ayres, he would be guilty not only of an infraction
of the capitulation, but of a dereliction of his duty, and violate
the oath be has taken as Perpetual Defender of Brazils, by
agreeing to its dismemberment; consequently he would render
himself undeserving thd confidence reposed in him by his
rxiple, and the high destiny allotted him by Providence.
London, Oct.. 11, 1825. BRITANNICUS.
P.S. In the American war'the Brussels Gazette became so
infamous for inserting false intelligence, that it became prover-
bial; the Buenos A*res•Gazate bids. fair to supplant it; for
all the news it has • lately insetted from• ripper Peru. it' a hoax,
to call it by no harsher name, .Indeed its intelligerice in-gene-
ral, during the war with the mother country, has been as fa-
lOUs for inaccuracy as its predecessorin Europe.
