Gum -% unit, Nor. $23.-The Levant Star,
OWEN, from the Gulf of Lepanto to Liverpool, which arrived
here yesterday, was plundered off Illantinio the 25th ult. by a
Greek schooner, of several articles of ship's furniture, &c. Two
vessels belonging to this port, recently arrived, were also plun_
dered by Greek armed vessels off Tunis. The Levant Star
arrived at Liverpool the 13th instant.

ALM EU( A, Nov. 28.—Two South American
armed schooners have been cruising off this place some days ;
they have captured, sunk, and ransomed several Spanish vessels.
As their cruising ground is otf these Capes, no vessel can escape
being overhauled. A Spanish schooner, which was taken and
ransomed for 400 dollars, is now here, waiting► an opportunity
to get safe to Carthagena.

.The following is an extract of a letter, dated
Rio de Janeiro, October, 1825 :—" Sir CHARLES STUART
has concluded the treaty of commerce with this country; we
understand that it differs little from that of 1810. This Go-
vernment would not enter upon the question of the slave trade,
under the plea, that as they had no colonies from whence slaves
were exported, they had nothing to treat about. With this, it
is said, Sir C. Stuart was satisfied, and consequently sends the
packet to Lisbon, so that the negociation may be begun with
Portugal. Should this be confirmed, it is evident that the
Drazilian Ministers have outdone Sir Charles in diplomacy."

TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 20, 1825.

The death of the Emperor ALEXANDEIt is

likely to produce results in Europe of a nature
very much opposed to those which have hitherto
been looked for, and we think that Turkey and
Greece will in the first instance feel the effects
of the decease of this Monarch. Whatever
might have been the ultimate wishes of the
late EmPracsa with regard to Turkey, it is cer-
tain he pursued them with cautions and per-
mitted respect for the Peace of Europe, to restrain
him from too ardent a pursuit, and to moderate
his desire of adding any portion of the Turkish
territories to his already overgrown Empire.

lie policy of ALEXANDER was truly pacific, and

Ihis 'influence as a member of the Holy Alliance
has been often employed to give it effect. In
this instance, at all events, the late Russian Em-
PIIIOR is entitled to the respect of the world, and
we confess ourselves far too well pleased with
it, to stop and enquire what motives led to its
adoption. Suffice it to say, Peace was his de-
sire, and Peace lie obtained.
The right Heir to the Throne of Russia is the bro-
ther of the late Emperor, CONSTANTINE CZSARO-
VITCLI, and who, it seems, it was his brother's
wish to pass over in favour of NICOLAS, the third
brother, and to compensate CONSTANTINE by the
Viceroyship of Poland. This intention, which
had been partly manifested, will probably give
rise to some intrigues and cabals, but fortunately,
in times like the present, the contending for a
Crown is regarded with different eyes than for-
merly, and people are more anxious for the Go-
vernment of the laws than nice as to the per-
son of the Sovereign, through whom they
are administered. They feel they have no-
thing to gain by the success of either party,
and that, in the strife, their rights, their pri-
vileges, and their properties, are disregarded,
and, be the issue what it may, they only are
damnified. It is, therefore, not unlikely that the
principle of right by occupation will settle the dis-
pute, and vest the Crown in him who is so for-
tunate as to secure it first.

CONSTANTINE is represented as restrained by
no motives of policy. His whole ambition is
to acquire possession of that city after which he
has been named, and to reign Emperor of Greece,
as well as Emperor of ItussiA. What effect
this event is likely to produce upon the struggle
in the Morea it is yet too early to anticipate,

but with such intentions such an opportunity
can scarcely be passed over, furnishing as it
does a pretext (no matter how frivolous) in
itli
the first instance, and' (should t 41 Greek fac-
tion turn their eyes upon this AS\iknt "to their*
aegol Honours) givirtog- him int once 'half of the
whole he so ardently desires. Happily for the
Sultan, Greece is not the only party to
be consulted on this occasion. England,
Prance, and, more than ail, Justria must
be parties consenting to such a partition--
and, moreover, contemned, despised, and spit
upon (by ignorance), as the Turks now are,
their unbounded pride w•ill teach them to revolt
against submission to foreign authority and such
a division of their country. In such a struggle
what may not be expected from a people s°
- brave and so devoted to their country and t°
nAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. Alla

It is not to be supposed that the nations of
Europe could see in silence such a struggle) or
behold without uneasiness the political con
sequences which would naturally flow fr°l"
it. They would say Russia ►must be restilia-
ed in the North, and we should hope, that
feelings of honour and justice would not be
so cowed and so forgotten as on the occasion of
the partition of Poland.

But to return to the departed Emperor, if the
Monarchical system has lost a friend by
death, the people have also to mourn his loss, fot
although a w arm ad vocate for the privileges and pre'
rogatives of a King, he was, nevertheless, a staunch
opposer of every attempt to encroach on the rights
of the people, as by law established. He ssw
that oppression defeated its own purpose, and
looked, by taking a medium path, to cheek e
revolutionary spirit on the one hand, and to re'
strain the advances of unbounded despotism °II
the other. The advantage of his own subjects
he had nearly at heart, and the meliorated on'
dition of the Russian Serfs proves how well hIS
intentions were effected, and how deserving he
was of their gratitude and prayers.

The Frankfort Papers to the 10th December;
which came to hand this day, contain nothing °
any moment. The Piedmontese Gazette received
this day is also equally barren, furnishing 0111/

" James Purcells was the name of the poor unfortunate 114$

brought up as a shipwright, and some years a resident in
Valparaiso, in some business, until something ril4
wrong, it preyed so much on his mind, that it brought
him to a state of insanity. I believe he was married
to a Chilian woman. I assure you it was with some reluctence'
previous to my consenting to receive him on board in such $
state. However charity in a great measure and my feelings
could not refuse such an object of pity, after leaving ValP°ll"
his mind got a little more consoled but always speaking to hlnr

left Valparaiso on the 20th July, and on the 14th August, duringt.
the night watches, he came on deck, and was seen by ona
the sailors to throw himself sharply overboard, in the fore-Put

We have received New York Papers to the
24th ult. By advices from Lima of the 20th of August' r:
ceived by way of Philadelphia, it appears that at that
Callao still held out ; but that sickness prevailed to 11,
degree among the inhabitants, who had retired within the 00.
alist lines, and that the scurvy raged among the troops, in e°11:
sequence of their having nothing but salt provisions to live °Ili:
that many of the inhabitants had left the place and throl,,.
themselves on the besiegers, and that the desertion from they
risen was considerable daily. Yet such was the obstinal
of General Robin, the Roylist commander, that it was sfi;
posed he might hold out till November, if not sacrificedll"
own troops previously ; the rigorous treatment which be had
been compelled to adopt having created great discontent arn°r,
them. BOLIVAR was still in Upper Peru, though daily "Pecor
ed to return to Lima. At Panama, part of 4,000 troPs
the Liberating Army of Colombia had arrived, and the rest we'.
daily expected on their return to Colombia. These troops
