" SYRA., Nov. 15.—Accounts from Naxia, of the
1 1 t h instant, announce that a French corvette of war
met with a piratical schooner, command td by a Can-
dint, named Theodore Sideni, and, as he could pro-
since no written authority from the Greek Govern-
ment, the French Captain having catig.d the greater
part of the Greek crew to be brought on board his
'hip, ordered one of his Officers and 15 men to take
the schooner to Milo. A storm arising, drove the
schooner towards the Isle of Astropaglia, where it
Anchored. There it was suddenly attacked by two
piratical mistics, the crews of which began to mur-
-ler the Frenchmen, when the French Officer killed
one of the pirates with his own hand, let fire to the
powder magazine, and thus blew up all the pirates ;
.62 Greeks perished by this explosion.
" The English brigantine the St. Francis, Capt.
Podich, arrived here from Syria and Patmos; it had
taken its cargo at Sur, and was, with other vessels
which were going to Alexandria, under convoy of
two Egyptian brigs of war. On the way, they met
with two Spezziot brigs, which endeavoured to cap-
ture some of the vessels. While th, pates and
the two brigs were engaged, the former succeeded
in taking the English brigantine„ which they car-
.ried into Patmos, where they stripped it entirely."
" DEC. 11.—I told you in my letter of the 15th
of November, that news had been received from
Egina, that an English brig of war had demanded
and obtained indemnities for several vessels of its
nation. To obtain this satisfaction from the Greek
Government the island was blockaded for several
(lays, and a French corvette and schooner have em-
ployed this means to obtain an indemnity to the
amount of 60,000 crown, at which they valued the
goods taken by Greek pirates from two French
-vessels coming from Cyprus."—Austrian Observer.

MADRID, JAN. 10.---The Intendancy of Havannah
not having been able to complete the payment of the
fifty millions of reals which it had been taxed, and
of which only fifteen millions are arrived at Cadiz
by the frigate La Perle, has charged its envoy,
Joachim de Arrietta, to raise the deficiency of a loan.
His Majesty was so anxious to possess himself of
this tribute of his transmarine subjects, that a des-
patch was immediately issued by his order, autho-
rising M. de Arrietta to make this loan, and gua-
ranteeing the security offered by the Intendancy of
lizwannah. Notwithstanding this, however, and
the offer of M. de Arrietta to mortgage the revenues
of the ilavannah as a security, he has not been able
to obtain a single proposal from any of the houses
at Madrid to tic rich he opened his proposition, and
he finds the objecti
'‘ons still greater amongst foreign
houses to which he is ..?Dplying. Such is the distrust
inspired by the state of Spanish commerce, and by
any measures emanating frOm its Government.
It is said that the Ministry lia;'e resolved on send-
ing back to his post the Spanish Consul at Tunis,
who had come over respecting some claims of in-
demnity made by Tunis for the capture of one of
its vessels in May last. This measure is said to be
necessary, as the war which is kindling in the East
between the Porte and the three Allied Powers will
have the effect of removing the Consuls of those
Powers from Africa.

It is said that tirmans have been received by the
several Regencies from the Porte, respecting their
future conduct towards the three Allied Powers,
and calling for assistance from all true believers in
Islamism in the empire, when the standard of the
Prophet is unfurled.
It is added, that the Algerines have already begun
to make incursions on some parts of the Spanish
coast, and that some Colombian vessels, of which
the crews are habited as Arabs, and bearing the Al-
gerine flag, are cruising in the Mediterranean.
Accounts from Barcelona of the 11th of January
are full of complaints of the inquisitorial severities
exercised by Count d'Espagne, whose conduct seems
to excite general discontent. Many of these rigours
are carried into execution under the eye of the King
himself, and with his full concurrence. The contrast
between the mild and humane deportment of the
late Captain-General the Marquis Campo-Sagrado,
and the despotism of his successor, tends to heighten
the disaffection caused by the latter.
We are assured that the evacuation of Figueras
has been agreed upon between the two Govern-
ments. It will take place in April. Negotiations
are going on for giving up at the same time all the
forts and strong places at present occupied by the
French.

AMERICAN PAPERs.
LATEs? FROM MEXICo.
We have before us Vera Cruz Papers to the 4th
4-)f December, brought by the Eliza, which arrived
here yesterday, after a short pas,s,age.
The Spaniards, it now appears, can hardly expect
to be longer tolerated in Mexico. Several of the
legislatures of the States have recently passed. reso-
lutions for their expulsion,—.._some demanding the
banishment of them all, others of the unmarried, and
those who have not long lived in the country,
A tOaxaca, Valladolid, Michoacan, the de-
mands are the same. At Vera Cruz, on the Ist of
December, there was a popular commotion excited
;against the Spaniards, but without any acts of vio-
lence or impropriety. The whole town appears to
have been for a time in cenfusion. The municipality
assembled, and passed un act fully accordant with
the public voice, after which the inhabitants retired
peaceably to their houses.
In Acapulco and part of Valladolid, disturbances
are spoken of; but a letter from Tlalpatn, of Nov.
20, says the whole southern coast is perfectly quiet.
Commodore Porter advertises that he has on hand
several licences for those who may with to arm

LONDON,
THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY 24, 1828.

The first Cabinet Council of the new Admi-
nistration met this day, at two o'clock, at the
Foreign Office.

We understand that Mr. W. PEEL SUC-
C6,PdS Mr. SPRING RICE as Under Seeretary
of State for the Home Department.
Mr. SAMUEL MARCH PHILLIPPS continues
as Under Secretary at the Home Office.

We also understand that Mr. PLANTA re-
mains as one of the Secretaries to the
Treasury, and it is said that Mr. DAWSON
succeeds Mr. FRANKLAND LEWIS as the other
Secretary to the Treasury.
Mr. FRANKLAND LEWIS, it is believed, will
fill some other office.

It is said that the Hon. C. C. C. JENKINSON
will move, and Mr. ROBERT GRANT second
the Address in the House of Commons.

Whilst real consistency is essential to the cha-
racter of an honourable man, there is no rock
on which Statesmen have more frequently split
than what is usually termed political consistency.
Engendered by ignorance, and nursed by self
conceit, it exhibits itself in the career of the
individual who, having asserted some opinion, or
taken part in some debate at the commencement
of his public life, devotes the rest of his days to
the defence of his error. He may have spoken
rashly on the inspiration of the moment, and
under the influence of that hospitality which dis-
tinguishes the tables of M. ANGELO TAYLOR
and many of our Parliamentary leaders, but he
has too much pride, or too little honesty ever
to retract what he has once said, and he
exerts all the ingenuity which he may pos-
sess, in acquiring and maintaining a character
for consistency. It; however, he is not success-
ful in his endeavours to shut his eyes to the
truth, he is afraid of the sneers which will attend
his avowal of it.

But the spirit of a higher. order, the " mens
conscia recta," scorns such a course. Such was
Mr. BURKE, who forfeited the friendship, and
encountered the taunts and the suspicions of his

dearest friends, when urged by the imperious
sense of duty to take an opposite line. He
perilled his character for consistency, by quitting
his party ; but history has enrolled him as the
iaviour of his country, and he must have deeply
imbibed the spirit of party who can read, and not
be convinced by, his masterly and unanswerable
defence.

We off'er these remarks at a period when it is
out of the power of any public man to maintain
even the spurious consistency to which we have
alluded. Act as he will, he must vote with
and against men who have stood towards
him in the very opposite relations. Lord
GREY, the ire plus ultra of consistency,
has voted with Lord ELDON, and Lord LANs-
DOWNE has sat in the same Cabinet with Lord
LYNDHURST.

Would it not be better, therefore, for our
Statesmen to consider questions without reference
to this phantom—consistency, and to apply
the full vigour of their intellect to their country's
welfare, unawed by the impending strictures of
orators and scribblers, from which no line of
conduct can by possibility save them ?

The French Papers last received possess no
political interest. Discussion, and only dis-
cussion, occupies their columns ; they are en-
tirely destitute of facts, if we except further ac-
counts of the distressing piracies in the Me-
diterranean by the refractory Greeks, whose
predatory career can only be stopped by force.

The credit of FERDINAND has been put to a
severe test at Madrid,—not one merchant having
the courage to trust his MAJESTY a single
dollar, even though payment were guaranteed by
mortgaging the revenues of the Havannah.—
This may serve to teach FERDINAND more cor-
rect notions of the value of a good character--
Honesty is above all price.
The Gazette de France was not published on
Tuesday, it being the anniversary of the death
of Lours XVI.

The evacuation of Figueras, and indeed of
all Spain, is spoken of at Madrid with confi-
dence. The French are oit the eve of quitting
the strong holds, for which purpose negociations
are said to be now in progress.

Papers have been received from various parts
of America up to the 2d of January, extracts
from which will be found in another column.
The Mexicans appear to be acting with great,
and, we think, impolitic severity towards the
native Spaniards, whose expulsion from the
country is considered the only guarantee of pub-
lic safety. No doubt the Spaniards must
entertain many predilections in favour of die
mother country, but the Mexicans ought not to
visit that natural feeling with expatriation, un-
less proofs are adduced that the machinations of
the Spaniards are dangerous to the independ-
ence of their country. Conciliation will soothe
the Spaniards, and be conducive to the strength
as well as the resources of Mexico. In endea-
vouring to be free they should learn to act with
liberality.

We received, this morning, the Nuremburg
Correspondent of the 15th inst., which contains
the following, respecting the Central Committees,
which had been a long time deliberating re-
specting the improved Navigation ofthe Rhine:—

MAYENCE, JAN. 10.

The two central Committees, which have been sitting
for several years in this city, for the regulation of the na-
vigation of the Rhine, and for the investigation of revolu-
tionary intrigues, are said to have nearly concluded their
labours. Both Commissioners have, however, long since
been incomplete, for instance, the Prussian Ambassador
has not for some years taken any part in the deliberations
respecting the navigation of the Rhine ; but now that
Holland and Prussia have concluded a separate convention
respecting the disputed points of the liberty of the navi-
gation of the Rhine, it is asserted, on good authority, that
the Prussian Chief President, Delius, will return from Co-
logne to Mayence, to bring about the final arrangement of
the regulations for the navigation. In the Committee of
Inquiry, instead of seven members only three are now
here, viz. M. Von Wagemann from Austria, M. Von
Pfister from Baden, and M. Von Houmann from Bavaria.

The Allgemeine Zeitung, of the 17th inst.,
contains an article from St. Petersburgh, of the
12th November, respecting the determination
of the Emperor NicitoLAs to enforce the
provisions of the Treaty of London, with-
out entertaining any views of aggrandizement
by conquest, or of any exclusive advantage ; but
we have a knowledge of this determination some
days ago, from Vienna, and of a much later date.
Mr. STRATFORD CANNING is again said to
have arrived at Corfu. The following are ex-
tracts :

TRIESTE, JAN. 9.

By a ship which has arrived in 25 days from Petra',
we learn that the Greek steam-boat, when it left Lepanto
some time ago with three captured Austrian ships, sunk
opposite to that fortress, the Austrian schooner of Captain
Halabotich, so that the crew could hardly save themselves.
It is confirmed that the Greeks, under General Church,
had landed with 2000 men at Dragomestre, and made
use for that purpose of the captured Austrian ship., pro-
tected by the steam-beat and two small armed vessels.—
Ibrahim Paella was still between Patras and TripOliZZ3.
The Captain of a ship, arrived in 17 days from Smyrna,
reports that tke city was perfectly tranquil ; yet several
Europeans were preparing to leave it. The English and
French Ambassadors had arrived from Constantinople at
Vourla, and were saluted by the Admiral of the allied
squadrons. There was no news from Scio.
By a ship which has arrived here, intfive days from Corfu,
we learn that Mr. Stratford Canning bad arrived there
from Vourla. Letters from Odessa, of 25th December,
(N.S.) report, that Russian ships of war continued to
arrive in that port. Several floating batteries, or armed
pontoons, had been sent to the Danube, towed by steam-
boats. Thirteen ships of war had arrived from Sebastopol
at one time.

FROM TILE FRONTIERS OF POLAND, nxcENIRER.
The following is the circular note of Count Nesselrode,
respecting the relations with the Porte. We see from it
the serious resolution of the Emperor Nicholas to maintain
the convention of London, and to consider it as the basis of
negociation.
ST. PETERSBURGR, NOV. 12.
At the moment when the decisive battle which the
Allied squadrons were obliged to fight with the Turkish
and Egyptian fleet in the bay of Navarin excites general
attention, j consider it as proper to acquaint you, Sir? of

the point of view in which the Imperial Cabinet considers
that remarkable event. Undoubtedly it would have been
our first wish to see the treaty of London carried into effect
without bloodshed, and on this account we lament our
victory ; but on the other hand, the Emperor has imme-
diately perceived that, in the alternative of seeing the main
object of that Convention disappointed by the annihilation
of the Greeks on the Continent, and the attack with which
Ibrahim Paella threatened the islands of the Archipelago,
after the faithlessness of the latter had been proved by two
violations, on the 13th and 21st of September, of the
armistice solemnly concluded with him, the Admirals
who had entered the Bay of Navarin with the most pacific
intentions, but were there attacked, had merely fulfilled the
instructions given them in accepting the combat, and that
they have successfully served the common cause. The
battle of Navarin places in a clear light the alliance and the
policy of the Powers who signed the Treaty of London ; it
gives reason to hope that the Porte, being at length made
sensible of its error, will hasten to accept the terms which
certainly call for some sacrifices; but, at the same time, se-
cure to it valuable compensation. The resolutions of the
Sultan must now decide on those which our August Mo-
narch will take at all events, whether the Porte may de-
termine upon a conduct conformable to our wishes, or
whether it may add to the disadvantages of its situation by
hostile measures. His Majesty the Emperor is firmly re-
solved, in the most strict concert with England and
France, to proceed in the execution of the treaty of the
6th of July, to effect with them the beneficent stipulations
of that treaty, and, in every state of affairs, to observe the
generous principle which forbids the Contracting Powers
to form any views of aggrandisement by conquest, or of any
exclusive advantage.
(Signed) " NESSELRODE."
After the receipt of the news of the breaking off of the
negociations at Constantinople, Count Nesselrode wrote a
second circular note, which, in all essential particulars, is
only a repetition of the above.

VIENNA, JAN. 12.
Metalligne9, 89i ; Bank Shares, 1,030.

By the arrival of his MAJESTY'S Packet
Cygnet, which left Bermuda on the 18th of
December, and Halifax the 6th of January,
Halifax Papers have been received at the North
and South American Coffee-house, to the sth
instant inclusive. They contain little that is
interesting, and appear almost exclusively de-
voted to giving full details of the battle of
Nayarit]. On the 4th in the morning, a
dreadful fire had taken place, commencing in a
house inhabited by Mrs. MILLER, Duke-street,
which in a very short time communicated to
several others, and it was expected at one time li
the lower side of Dalhousie College would
be destroyed. The damage done is, the houses
of Mrs. MILLER, Mr. GEO. JOST, and
Mr. E. PEILZSII, consumed, and the house
of Mr. G. ANDERSON, in the lower street,
pulled down, partly burnt. His Excellency Sir
JAS. KENIPT, and his Aid-de-camps, with many
Officers, bOth naval and military, were present,
and very active on the occasion. The house oc-
cupied by Capt. M'QUEEN, of the 74th, late
Mr. MI NN's, was saved by the enthusiasm of the
soldiers of his regiment, who seemed determined
to perish or save it.
By this conveyance, Papers from St. Jelin's,
New Brunswick, of the 29th ult., have come to
hand. They contain information of St. An-
drew's being established as a free warehousing
port, by which the interests and business of that
town will be much enhanced.

His Excellency the Governor had been ill,
but was recovering from the attack. Lady DOUG-
LAS had also been much indisposed for a few
days ; the family had all suffered partially, but
were recovering. The Royal Gazette of the
11th contains a Proclamation from the Gover-
nor for proroguing the General Assembly of the
Province until the second Tuesday in January.
From Frederictown we learn that an agent of
the General Government of the United States
had arrived at our head-quarters, clothed with
proper authority to make inquiries regarding the
Madawaska affair. He has brought letters from
Mr. VAUGHAN, the British Minister at Wash-
ington, to the Lieutenant-Governor, and has of
course been recognized in an official capacity by
our public authorities ; it must be, therefore,
this gentleman's mission which the President in
his Message refers to, and not that of Mr. DA-
VIES. It is stated that he holds no official
communication with the agent sent on the same
business by the State of Maine.

Accounts from Guatemala, dated San Salva-
dor, the sth November, furnish intelligence of
the overthrow of a band of 400 revolutionists,
in Sabuna Grande, who were on their way to in-
vade the territory of Honduras.

The American Papers state that LA BORDE'S
squadron, consisting of one ship of the line, four
frigates, and several small vessels, was about to
sail from the Havannah, having on board 3,500
troops, 100 officers for the army, as well as
800,000 dollars in specie. It is supposed they
meditate an attack on Carthagena.

The accounts from the City of Mexico are
of the 28th November, and 4th of December, from Vera
Cruz. The eonducta, which had arrived at the latter
city, with specie amounting to 1,600,000 dollars, was
stated wholly to be on the merchants' account. On
its journey, an attack was attempted to be made by a
band of robbers in the mountains, consisting of
150 men, but the escort composed of a strong detachment
of the Militia of Puebla, conducted their charge in safety,
and the specie arrived without any further impediment.
The Pylades had just returned from Tampico, after hav-
ing taken in 300,000 dollars at that place. Trade was
dull, and confidence nearly destroyed.

The Stentor transport, bound for Ceylon,

DEATH OF GLENGARRY.

(FURTHER PARTICULARS.)

On Wednesday the 16th instant, Mr.
MAC DoNELL of Glengarry, left Fort-William
(in Inverness-shire) for Edinburgh, accompa-

nied by his two eldest daughters. They were
passengers by the Stirling steam-boat. The day
was remarkably boisterous, and the Stirling had
not proceeded above six miles in its course from
Fort-William, when the gale increased to a
hurricane, and the engine refused to work.—
The steam-packet was soon drifted ashore, on a
rocky beach, opposite to Inverscadale. GLEN-
GARRY then leaped from the steam-packet, upon
a projecting rock, and in the fall hie head struck
with great violence against the rock. Notwith-
standing he was stunned by the severity
of the concussion, GLENGARRY swam ashore
from the rock. The Misses MAC DONELL
and the other passengers were with difficulty
saved, excepting a domestic servant of Mr.
MACDONALD of Clanranald, who was unfortu-
nately drowned. GLENGA RRY, on reaching
the shore, complained of pain, but walked
with his daughters to Inverscadale-house, a
mile distant from the shore. He undressed
himself and went to bed, but no serious
apprehensions were then entertained. How-
ever it soon appeared that he had been
dreadfully injured. After enduring with forti-
tude the utmost extremity of pain, he expired at
Inverscadale, on Thursday the 17th inst., at six
o'clock in the evening. His distressing fate has
excited very general interest.----GLENGARRY was
an enthusiastic Highlander, and valued im-
measurably the honours of Chieftainship, ap-
pertaining to his house. This predominant
feeling displayed itself so as to conceal from
public observation much of the kindness of heart
which will be long remembered by the High-
landers, whom he so zealously encouraged in
maintaining the athletic habits of their ancestors.
The young Chief of Glengarry is 19 years of
age, and is a very promising intelligent young
man. The Stirling was reduced to a wreck and
is sunk.
