extracts :

Morrteu, Dec. 26.—We hear that letters have been re-
ceived from Lieutenant-Colonel Heidegger, dated Poros,
Nov. 16, in which that brave officer says, that the Greeks
had offered' him the dignity of Viceroy of Candia. The
greater part of that island is known to be in possession of
the Greeks, and in order to subdue it entirely, Lord Coch-
rane has projected an expedition. Colonel Heidegger
seems resolved to wait for the arrival of Count Capo
d'lstria before he decides on this offer, which is so honour-
able both to him and to his country.
CORFU, Dec. 4.—We do not`know any thing certain
respecting the result of the Greek expedition against Scio,
though Colonel Fabvier had occupied the island and be-
sieged the fort. We are ignorant whether he has continued
his operations, or whether circumstances have obliged him
to give up his enterprise. However, the appearance of
Lord Cochrane on the coasts of the Morea, gives reason to
conjecture that the Greeks have again left Scia, and
obeyed the summons of the Admirals of the Allied Squa-
drons, dated Oct. 24.
A great part of the Greek ships, under the command of
Lord Cochrane, has given chace to several well-known
pirates, in the Levant, and destroyed the most of them. On
the coast of Messina, Lord Cochrane has attacked the
schooner of the notorious pirate, Kukerzzi, and taken seven
of the crew prisoners ; the commander succeded in escaping
on shore.

On the 22d of November, a Dutch merchantman ar-
rived at Zante, which had sailed from that island only a
few days before, bottnd to Messina. It had been taken by
a pirate, but was delivered off Maina by Lord Cochrane,
who sent it back, with two men belonging to. the crew of
the pirate, in order that they might be delivered up to the
constituted authorities, as suspected of being lonian subjects.

NAPLES, DEc. 13.—The celebrated Cardinal, Fainizio
Ruffo, died this morning, in the 83d year of his age.
FRANKFORT, DSc. 29.—Exchange on London, two
months, 141.

We received this morning the Nurernburg
Correspondent, and other German Papers, to
the 31st ult. It appears that Mr. STRATFORD
CANNING has arrived at Corfu. Count GUIL-
LEMINOT had proceeded in a Sardinian vessel
to Toulon ; and M. RIBEAUPIERRE is said to
have arrived at Odessa :

FROM THE FRONTIERS OF POLAND, DEC. 17.
It is affirmed, upon respectable authority, that in case of
a campaign against the Turks, the following are the corps
of the Polish army which would be allowed to share the
laurels of their Russian brethren in arms :—First, a divi-
sion of cavalry, under the command of General Kosnucky,
consisting of two regiments of Hulans and two regiments
of Chasseurs ; Prince Adam, of Wurtemburg, has hitherto
been employed as Brigadier-General in this division : 2dly,
a division of infantry, under the command of General
Krasensky, consisting of four regiments : Sdly, a brigade
of horse artillery, under the command of Colonel Schwerin.
These corps had, on a preceding occasion, under the reign
of the Emperor Alexander, solicited the favour of being
allowed to take part in that campaign, in case of hostilities,
of which there was every appearance, herore the Congress
of Verona, and it is now reported that they have expressed
similar sentiments to the Emperor Nicholas, and that his
Majesty has signified his approbation.

NUREMBURG, DEC. 30.

An English messenger, who passed through this city
yesterday, stated that he came from Corfu, where the Eng-
lish Ambassador, Mr, Stratford Canning, had already ar-
rived from Constantinople, and by whom he had been sent
with despatches to Sir Henry Wellesley, English Ambassa-

dOr at Vienna, whence he was to proceed by way of Frankfort'
to Loudon. M. de Ribeaupierre id said to have already ar-
rived at Odessa, and to have sent from that place a courier
to St. Petersburgh. Count Guilleminot, the French Am-
bassador proceeded directly to Toulon in a Sardinian vessel.
The post from Constantinople of the 1I th is said, in
letters received from Vienna yesterday, not to have yet
arrived in that city, but it was known by our couriers,
that after the departure of the three Ambassadors, Baron
Ottenfels, seconded by the Ambassadors of Prussia, the
Netherlands, and Sweden, continued to negociate with the
Divan for the preservation of peace.

cAu.T.SRUHIC, nEc. 28.

We have received the melancholy news of the dreadful
fire at Bonndorf, a town in the Black Forest, fifty-two
buildings were reduced to ashes, among which are the post-
office, the tax-office, all the inns, and the principal houses.
The violence of the wind had extended the fire to six dif-
ferent places at the same time ; 280 persons are without
shelter, and have lost all their harvest.

VIENNA, DEC. .26.

A French courier, who arrived here yesterday evening,
brought at length certain information of the departure of
the Ambasiadors, after all the negotiations to obtain the
acceptance of the intervention in the affairs of Greece.
The Perte had again categorically declared, that it would
not hear of a pacification to be effected by such means.

The Queensbury Packet has arrived with a
North American Mail. She sailed from Ber-
muda on the 2d of December, and from Halifax
on the 17th. Rear-Admiral Sir CHARLES
OGLE, Commander-in-Chief of his Majesty's
ships on the station, was still lying there in his
Majesty's ship Hussar.

By the American. Mail, which sailed on the
18th ult., Papers from Halifax of the 17th ult.,
St. John's of the 15th, and Prince Edward's
Island of the 3d, have been received at the
North and South American Coffee-house :
From St. Andrew's we are gratified in finding that the
revenue of the port is greatly on the increase from.the
last or any previous year ; the commerce of the country is
stated to be in a very active state, and one certain !.4rool
of this assertion is, that every mechanic in the town is
in full employ, and it is even difficult to supply the
demand for their labour. Money has become more
plentiful, and credit greatly improved. The timber trade
has been on the decline for some years past; but this is
not to be regretted, as it was attended with small profit.
The lumber trade is of vastly greater service to the coun-
try : a much greater proportion of labour is employed in
the manufacture of lumber, and therefore more industry
encouraged. The Halifax Papers mention a report of
Lord Dalhousie being appointed to succeed Lord Corn-
bermere, as Commander-in-Chief in the East Indies ;
' and that his Grace the Duke of Gordon was likely to
be the new Governor-General of these provinces. The
first steam engine ever erected in Nova Scotia is now in
full work at the Albion Mills, in the district of Pictou,
and is found quite equal to the purposes for which it is
intended ; the mines are about 30 yards deep. This intro-
duction of the power of steam forms a new era in the his-
tory of this rising colony, and it is confidently expected
before the lapse of many years to see it applied to
other objects of equal utility. To his Excellency the
Governor, whose anxiety for the prosperity of the pro-
vince is so very conspicuous, the circumstance must
afford much gratification. His Excellency has given the
views of Alessrs. Rundell and Co., every aid in his power,
who have expended upwards of 20,0001. in the anticipation
of considerable returns, which are likely to he realised; and
he has 'now thepleasure of beholding the resources of the
country becoming every day more and more developed. It
is with sincere regret we have to notice the continued ra-
vages of the small-pox at Halifax, and the numerous adult
persons who had fallen a sacrifice to its baneful
effects ; it had occasioned such a dread on the Bos-
ton authorities, that an ' order bad been issued, di-
recting that all vessels moving from Halifax should be
required to come to an anchor at a distance of 100 yards
from any wharf or street of that city, until the same are
visited by the resident Physician or City Marshal, to ascer-
tain no person has died of any infectious or contagious
disease on board ; and that no person shall be permitted,
before such visit, to land ; and the pilots are directed to
give notice of this order to all such vessels. An extensive
sale of landed property, belonging to the late Win, and
R. Pagan, had taken place at St. Andrew's, and hail
realised 50 per cent. more than they would have brought
last year, and many of them from to 3 to 500 per cent.
more than they would sell for ten years ago. There will
probably he more houses built in St. Andrew's next year,
than in any since 1824. A new Paper had been establish-
ed under the title of the Colonial Patriot. The small-
pox had made its appearance at Cherencooke, among the
French—a second attack was frequent, and generally prov-
ed fatal ; the medical gentlemen had strongly recommended
vaccination. The contagion had been greatly increased, and
spread by the sales of woollen cloth in the town during the
autumn, at Halifax, and but for this might have been avoided
being carried to this settlement.

It is with much regret we have to announce
the loss of Lord HARLEY, eldest son of the Earl
of OXFORD, and several other passengers, on
.board it packet-vessel, the Fanny, from St.
Maloes to Jersey, on the Ist inst. The follow-
ing letter, received this morning from Lieut.-
Colonel FYERS, Commanding Engineer at
.1/
Jersey, who was likewise a passenger in the
Fanny, but fortunately landed before she struck
on the rocks, describes the particulars of his
escape, and the melancholy loss of the vessel and
other passengers :

I am happy to infirm you of my safe arrival here on
New Year's day, after another most providential and extra-
ordinary escape. I sailed from St. Mato, in the Fanny,
about half-past seven o'clock, with a fine, fair wind, a
heavy sea, but nothing to be alarmed about : we arrived
about half-past seven in the great roads, when they called
to me to say a boat was waiting for me. I did not move
then, as in the very small portion of cabin left free for pas-
sengers, I could not step out of my birth without annoying
a lady, Mrs. Fitzgerald, who was very ill, and on a locker
oitside of my birth. Half an hour after, Anley came
down, and told me that we could net get into the pier in
less than one hour and a half, and I had better land with
them ; I therefore scrambled out of my,birth. The other
cabin passengers, Mrs. F. and her has rand, married three
. weeks before ; a very pretty girl, a Miss Murray, daughter
of a Dr. Murray ; and a French woman, all resolved to re.
main until they could reach the pier. I jumped into
Anley's boat, who, with the cockswain, pulled for the
pier : the town boat shortly followed with five or six
more ; but when within about 200 yards of the pier, the
wind suddenly shifted to the northward, blowing a perfect
hurricane, more violent than has been known here for
many years, blowing down trees, &c.—it raised also
furiously. We of course lost ground, and they wished to
go round to Le Dicq ; but I desired them to pull for the
new landing place, and I threw off my cloak, preparing
for a swim, expecting every moment to be dashed upon the
rocks ; however they skilfully ran up the little creek
under the Magazine, and landed me comfortably under
Simon's garden. The other boat got round to St.,Croix,
with great risk. During this time De Touche anchored
under the Hermitage, close to his former disastrous spot :
the Fanny drifted—he jumped into his boat—a French
gentleman after him into the sea, and swam to him ; the
others were left to their fate, and about ten minutes after I
lauded, I had the horror of being informal that she had
struck upon a rock near the Little Green Island off the
Fold, and sunk immediately. The' unfortunate passengers
in the cabin were all drowned, also Lord Harley, son of
Lord Oxford ; young Collins, of the Library; Mr. Miller,
and others ; in all eight or nine. Indeed I have every
reason to be most thankful to Providence for my wonderful
escape."

The
rmroeastdeirtsttienreostui:g Passage in the Ameri-
can PRESIDENT'S Message, which we laid be-
that which relates to the discussions at present
paper of Tuesday last, is
going on between America and Great Britain.
Those discussions have arisen out of a difference
fore 'u
produced by our Navigation Laws, and they af-
ford (if that were wanting) a striking illustration
of the strange impolicy of those ancient restric-

tions on our' trade and shipping, and of their at
effects even in reference to their own petty ob-
jects. We need not mention that all these laws
are founded on the principle of monopoly ; and
that the object of our Navigation Code was to
exclude the ships of all nations from any por-
tion of our commerce, while we were to grasp at
all we could of theirs. The natural effect of
this contracted policy is to put other nations 01
their guard ; and accordingly, America, one of
the greatest naval powers of the present day,
adopts a restrictive code, the counterpart or our
own—with this difference, however, that it is
merely in the way of retaliation. Ths law on
which the Americans profess to act declares, that
from whatever port any American vessel. is ex'
eluded, every British vessel coming directly fiat
the same port shall be, in like manner, excludd
from America; and whatever port is opened "to
American vessels in the British colonies (for the
dispute respects the intercourse between the
British West Indies and the United States)
every British vessel coming from the same port,
shall be freely admitted into America...-.
This is the principle of the American law;
and how does it illustrate the effects of as
exclusive policy ? Our object is to engrosl
for our own ships the largest possiblt
share of the commerce of the world ; but marl
how we are thwarted, how we are met in liminebl
the countervailing restrictions of other nations
The Americans say, " If you ars for free trade
we are for free trade ; if you admit our vessel°
we admit yours ; but if you restrict, we restrict
from whatever port we are excluded in your da
minions, we lay that port under a similar in
terdict in our own." The Americans thus rs
taliate upon us the exact measure of our ow'
laws ; their policy is a species of self-actiel
machine, which indicates in America the es.o
point of restriction in Britain. Their Navie
tion Code is a mirror in which we see faithful]
reflected the odious image of our own restrir
Lions. Our ancestors, in their mistaken ze4
sought to grasp by monopolies the comment
and navigation of the world. But now oil
crooked policy is retorted on ourselves ; th
poisoned chalice commended to our own lips
and we really cannot help wondering, with the
facts full in view, how any rational inquirer 0
still adhere to the most mistaken policy of re
striction and monopoly. Is it not clear that
we set on foot monopolies against other 10
tions, they will set on foot , monoplies agal°
us ; that we shall be fought with our own weapon'
and that our navigation under the mean si
timid policy of monopoly, will be less extend'
than if we were fairly and honourably contend°
with other nations for the commerce of ti
world ? We ought to throw down our navig
tion b oldly as a prize to be won by supers'
daring and skill ; and if other nations do t,
same, are we afraid that with our advantages'
shall not draw a larger stake from an open 0:0
petition, than
ever we could receive from V:
poor and piddling
policy of monopoly ? We, 0
to be sure keep our own commerce for our 01.
ships, but when other nations keep theirs whet
we gain ? The probability is, that we l•se by t:
transaction ; and that what we retain is not'_
equivalent for what we would have gained r
our inroads under a different system in the cot
merce of others.
We regret there should b e any discussi°
however trivial or however amicably carried a,
with the United States, more especially 4,1'
the two parties are so entirely agreed in ex
ciple ; and only differ on details. But it n 0•
.
be confessed that the Americans aresomew)
dogmatic and peremptory in their way ; whe.jr4,
they ought to make great allowances for our P.
nisters, who cannot at once disentangle their f
licy from the trammels of ancient prejudict
they ought not immediately to zesort to ret,
tions, which can have no other effect than
perplex matters, more especially when they ltoc
that the disposition of the British Ministrl
not to press these restrictions to any obnoxic.
lengths. It is by such calm and conciliate:
proceedings, that a good understanding can',
established; and that the two great nations.
Britain anti America, can be preserved fr‘
what is more revolting and odious, nameli',
war of commercial restrictions after the war
arms has ceased.
