Extracts from the Morning Pvers, Nov. 30.

[MORNING POST.]
By way of Bombay we have received some
interesting accounts from Arabia and Upper
Egypt., which give as a better idea of the state of
that part of the world than can be derived
through the distorted medium of tke usual chan-
nels.. By these advises we are informed that the
communication between Mocha and Senna still
continued blocked up by the Kubihs, and that
this state of things was extremely detrimental to
trade, the imports and exports being almost en-
lisoily prevented. The refractory Chief of Asseer
bad been brought under subjection by the troops
seat against him ; but on the return of this force
to Medina, the insurrection bad been renewed,
and a large force was consequvutly assembling at
Camfidor, with a view to attempt its entire set-
tlement. The country, on the vicinity of Kos-
seir, bad been in a state of rebellion, which
however had been put down by the Egyptian
troops, although a formidable banditti still in-
fested that country These accounts give
the full particulars of the late insurrection
in Upper Egypt. By these it appears that in
March last the deposed Sheik of a village
near Thebes collected about eight hundred
followers, and raised the standard of revolt
against the Pada at a place called Staruac. lie
possessed, it seems, considerable interest in the
country, being looked upon as a sort of prophet,
and was seen joined by a multitude of insurgents
armed . with pikes, old muskets, swords and
clubs, to the extent, it was supposed, of 15,000
men: The Egyptian horse in that neighbourhood
being unable to snake bead against aogreat o body
retreated to Gumeh, where they had depots, and
having collected about 800 men to garrison it, they
entrenched the town. The insurgents, in the
mean time, proceeded to overrun the country,
and in eight or ten dnys ,150 miles along the
hanks of the Nile were in their possession. While
matters were in this state,Osman Bey, who was at
Assuan with 2,000 di4ciplined Arabs, on his
march to Senaar, halted on hearing of the revolt,
and marched back.aiainst a party of the rebels
who were with the :sheik, near Esneh. There
there they had an engagetatent on the 4th of
April, at a place called Ermentes, when the
Bey's troops put the Insurgents to flight, killed
about 1000 of them, and sacked the villages in
the neighbourhooti. The Sheik, after this defeat,
succeeded in Joining his force near Gomel); and
there made a stand. Ife gave himself out as a
Vizier, appointed by the Sultan, and used his seal.
The Podia, on the other hand, offered a reward
fur him of his weight in gold, and promised par»
don to his followers, if they returned to their
homes. Osman Bey, in the mean time, sent in:
formation of his success to Gumeh, where Ahmed
Pada had arrived with 1500 cavalry, WOO in 4
fantry, and thirty gun-boats. The two Chiefs
settled to attack the rebels ott the 6th April.—
' The Pater thus attacked in front and rear, lied ;
.about 2000 of them were, killed, and many were
drowned iu the river. Time remainder made for
the desert, where the greater part of them
perished. During the insurrection the common'.
cation across the aesart to Kessoir was stopped,
the .Bedouins, who possess the desart north of
that tract,tuwards Suex, having joined the rebels.

The Greek Government, we learn from geed
authority, Is using every exertion to, free the
classic soil-from the presence of, its late barbarian
oppressors. Since the formation of the regular
army, disciplined after the European system; the
military operations of the Greeks limit, been con-
ducted with much greater vigour and effect. Of
these troops 4,000 have been sent by the Greek
Government, under the command of the most ex-
perienced commander in its service, to press. the
siege of Petra's, and compel the Turkish garrison
to surrender. ,At the same time, twelve ships 'of
war have: been dispatched to cooperate by sea
with the besiegers. We :may therefore expect
that this important place Will soon fall into the
bands of the victorious Greeks.'

The arrival of ibe-,Gilmore from Bengal, and
the Triton from Madras, was yesterday an-
nounced in the city, and letter's and .papers have
been brought by both ships fur several of the
`flOutes connected With India ; but they contain
nothing new, as their intelligence was anticipated,
by that of the General Palmer, which left Ma-
Ares, a fortnight later. By the arrival of .the
Guardian from Singapore, which place :she.left on
.the 24th of July, we have received intelligence
to the 23d of that month, by which we. learn ge-
nerally that produce has fully maintained .the
prices it brought some time back, and that the
market for European goods was not quite so brisk
as when the former advices came away. • A great
rise had taken place in the, price of every kind
of spice,' which was there attributed tb: the
cession of Sumatra to the Dutch ; and a belief
was entertained that that Power would resume
its former absurd prohibitory duties 'on the com-
merce of other nations. Little is, certainly to be
expected- from the commercial', policy .of the
Dutch ; they have lately shewn a very tolerable
sample both of their. selfishness and -stupidity ill
the. Java Tariff; but still we can, hardly. conceive
that they will attempt a similar proceeding with
.regard to Sumatra, as the close .vicinity of our
free port of Singapore must create. and maintain
a smuggling trade' .between it and. their' posses-
sions in the Malay Archipelago, which will have
the effect of utterly ruining.tbeir revenue in 'that.
quarter. When the Guardian the ex-
•change was still extremely depressed ;. 35.: 7d.

mercjal capital of the East, We must expectlhat
the exchange of the. outports will. , be pretty - ge-
nervily regulated by the-exchange of that city.
