EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM JAM I.ICA, NOV. R.

" An application has been made to Rear-
Admiral Sir CHARLES ROWLEY to grant a con-
voy to the trade bound to Santa Martha and Sa-
vannilla, to sail from Port Royal, from the 18th
to the 10th inst. The Rear-Admiral, in reply,
stated, that he had not at present a vessel of war
to spare, but the first that arrived would be or-
dered for that purpose.—On the 25th of June,
the Chilian squadron under Lord COCHRANE,
accompanied by five ships and several transports,
made an attack on the port of Callao, which sur-
rendered after three hours' resistance.--Three
Spanish frigates, one of 42 guns, and the others
of 36, two armed brigs, and several merchant-
men, fell into his Lordship's possession, with
Property to a large amount.

" By the SNbillc we learn that a considerable
body of Patriots had appeared before Vera Cruz,
and that the Viceroy had gone to Cordova to
meet their Commander, with a view of entering
into some amicable arrangements; and orders
were sent by him to the Governor of Vera Cruz
to open the gates of that tou n and admit the
troops, but this was refused. Previously to the
sailing of the S:ybille from Havannah, accounts
were received of the Patriots ,having obtained
possession of La Vera Cruz, and Campeachy was
expected to declare in favour of the Indepen-
dents."

" DOVER, DEC. 2.1.—:-We have received information from

Advices from Constantinople to the 19th ult.
were received yesterday by way of Odessa. They
mention circumstances which, if correctly stated,
' evince a determination on the part of the Divan
to force Russia into hostilities. The two Princes
(brothers) of the house of Callimachi, who for-
merly governed in Walachia, but who were ba-
nished, early in the contest, into one of the Asiatic
provinces, have, it is said, both been decapitated

Constantinople. It is also mentioned, as another
iustance of the disposition of the Porte' to pro-

consequence was one mortting discovered be-
. headed, lying before the door of the intepreter to
the Russian Embassy. Considering the present si-
tuation of Turkey, it is dialcult to assign any Co-
lour of probability to these events ; yet they are
Unhesitatingly affirmed in the letter of an English
merchant, addressed to a commercial house at
Odessa ;, and the plea of " Greek authority"
cannot therefofe, as it has frequently, be brought
forward to impugn the statement. In the midst
of this apparent defiance to Russia, the affairs of
Turkey, from other causes, were allowed to be
In a state of great embarrassment : the success
of the Greeks, and the advance of the Persians,
which were known at Constantinople, had pro-
duced confusion and alarm in the councils of the
' Divan. No mention is made of any intended
.sailing of the Turkish fleet ; and the return of
their squadron, without striking any decisive
blow, had, it was conceived, left the Archipe-
lago free to the Greeks.
