FALMOUTH, rIoNDAT NOON', Nov. 5.--Lieut.-Colonel

PEIXETE, of the Portuguese Army, came passenger in the
Swiftsure, Capt. CADDY, from Pernambuco, which vessel
arrived here on Thursday last, charged with important dis-
patches for the Portuguese Government. This Gentleman
sailed from Lisbon some time since with 1,500 troops, on board
transports, which were landed at Pernambuco. A serious in-
surrection, it appears, had broke out there, said to have had for
its object the separation of the Brazils' from Portugal, but the
timely arrival of those troops had quelled the same, and all was
quiet when the packet left.—The Colonel takes his passage this
day in the Arabella packet for Lisbon.

GREECE.--The Society of Sciences and Arts
at Strasburgh held a meeting lately under the
Presidence of M. MAtourr. After the Presi-
dent and two other members had addressed the
Society on various subjects, M. Schweighausen,
the younger, rose, and having commenced by
pronouncing the words, " Greece and Liberty,"
he completely fixed the attention of his audience.
He took a view of the services which Greece had
rendered to civilization and the arts, which,
after their importation from Egypt, developed
themselves so rapidly ; he noticed their religious
ideas in their progress and influence upon poesy;
and he shewed that all which is really fine in the
arts is due to the Greeks, not even excepting the
lighter walks of poetry. " The flowers which
were gathered by Anacreon," said M. S. " have
not withered in the course of ages; our Chaulieu
and Partly found them still fresh to entwine new
garlands for the Loves and the Graces." Christia-
nity owed more to Greece, by the universality
of her language, in which her first maxims were
written, than to all the power of the Roman em-
pire. He closed by expressing his ardent desire
that the free days of Marathon and Salamis might
be renewed, and those fortunate days when Pla-
to heard Socrates, when the songs of Homer, and
the choruses of Sophocles resounded near the
tribune of Pericles, and the temples of Phidias.
