AUGSBURG, DEC. 19.

A n'English frigate cruising in the Archipelago captured,about
two months ago, three Greek schooners and a corsair, the first
u►xler pretext of reprisal for a Turkish ship taken in the Roads
of Ithaett,and the corsairfor having exceeded its letters of marque.
The vessels were carried into Naples. The English had con-
demned the Captain of the corsair to twelve yeais' imprison-.
ment, the supercargo to five, and the sailors to two years ; but
in consequence of orders from England, the vessels were till
restored, and the crew of the Corsair released. This determi-
nation, together with the orders issued by the Lord Iligh
Commissioner who governs the lonian Isles, enjoining all the
subjects of the said isles to respect the blockade of Patras and
Lepanto, which has been declared by the Greeks, proves that

the policy of England towards to the Greeks has suddenly un-
tl;rgone some modifications.

A private Letter from Lisbon, dated the 16th
Dec. states, that a difference prevails between Sir
M. A'Coutyr and the Portuguese Government,
°wing to the great influence of the French ; and
it Was reported there that' the whole of the
elitish ships were under orders to sail at an
hour's notice, hut still it was thought that the
differences would be adjusted.

[Extract of a Letter, dated Base, Hon:bit-al, Oct. 22.1

We have little or no news here. There was a
?sport lately that much confusion prevailed in the countries
ruljacent to us. It was said Commagna had declared itself in-
dependent of Guatimala, and was endeavouring to establish
some form of Government, and had sent to Truxillo and Omoa
to join them and hoist their standard, otherwise would attack
them. All this part of the country is far,. from being settled,
Lind the people in their sealvrts are very desirous of seducing
our slaves to come to them, where immediate freedom is pro-
mised. It is said also that Merida has declared herself inde-
' Pendent ; but on the whole the united provinces of the centre
of America seem not all to have that stability, that system of
order that prevails in Colombia or Mexico. Indeed we arc un-
comfortably placed amongst them, there is little or no safety

A Bogota Paper of the 7th of Octobir ( The Constitutional )
received by the Jamaica mail, contains an account of the re-
ception at Bogota of the Conunissioner from die King of the
Netherlands, a 31. de Quarrel, whose address to the Vice.
President was marked by the most liberal and friendly lan.
Page towards the Colombian Republic. M. de Quarrel stated,
that the object of his mission was " to remove all doubts,
should arc? exist, of his (Sovereign's) anxiety to be on the same
tooting with this republic as Great Britain—a nation in every
—Peet worth of of our esteem." He added the following ex-
pressions :—" Your Excellency will allow me, in virtue of the
character with which I am invested, to intrude on your polite-
ness so far as to request you will assure his Excellency the
President of the Republic of Colombia, the hero of the Southern
Continent of America, of my high esteem fur his person, and
that I am in hopes of one day seeing him. It is always a
urce of pleavure to a military man to become acquainted
With the man who by his talents and valour has broken the
chains of his countrymen, and taught theth the sacred rights
of man.
Your Excellency may feel assured (hat I shall give a faith-
'o detail of what I have seen here to my Government ; which
cannot fail to be productive of an increase of confidence on their
part in your principles, and a positive proof to them that anarchy
la fur distant from these regions."
AI. tie Quarrel added a hope that Colombia may soon enjoy
a tranquillity equal to that of Palestine, under the reign of
the wise Solomon."
The.
Vice• President replied, that he felt the liveliest satisfac-
tion at receiving the assurances of the good dispositions of his
11Iajeaty the King of the Low Countries, &c. .e., the worth
_y
descendant of a Prince who had given the first practical example
in modern history of resistance to Spanish tyranny and oppres-
sion, towards the Government and People of Colombia ; that
the spirit and desire of Colombia was to maintain friendly and
mercantile relations with all the nations of the earth."
The 'Constitutional also publishes the following official letter,
Presented to the Government by Colonel Hamilton :
(Translation from the Spanish).
