LONDON,
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1-5, 1821.

We received this morning the French Papers
of Monday, from which we give extracts, under
the head of " Foreign Intelligence." The ac-
counts of the progressive success of the
Greeks will be • perused with satisfaction,
Ind We have before us private letters from
Corfu, which communicate further interest-

ing particulars on the same subject. The for-
tress of Lepanto continues to be closely invested
by the Etolian Chief AlAcrtys. Veneza is on
the point of surrendering, and Arta is not in a
better state. In the interior of Epirus, the sue-
c('ss of the Suliotes leas induced the Albanian
tribe of the Toksides to side with the former in
favour of ALI PACIIA ; and after this event
it was proposed to make a general attack on
COURSCIIELD PACIIA, and drive the Turks entirely
out of the Epirote territory ;' but this measure was
abandoned sub sequently,on the arrival ofALEx Us/-
ANDER MATROCORDATOS
.from the Peloponnesus,
as it was deemed more prudent not to raise the siege
cif Janina until a central Government had been
,established at Souli, and was recognized by Am
13AcRA• The surrender of Tripolizza is confirmed
4.
11.°111 several quarters ; a quantity of military
stores Was found there, and the reduction of
this fortress will render. disposable 10,000
Greeks, who, it is said, are to be sent to Patras.
The Greek fleet, consisting of 150 sail, are at sea,
and the Ottoman squadrons are stated to be at
Zante. A naval battle may shortly be expected.
A letter from Calamatta, of the ISth of Sep-
tember, gives an account of a gallant action, in
'which a Speziote vessel fell in with a Turkish
squadron of thirty-four sail, beat off several
of the ships which attacked it, and finally suc-
ceeded in escaping from the whole fleet.—
his letter contains a most important com-
munication :—it contradicts in the most de-
cided terms the reports of existing dissentions
among the different divisions of the Greek fleets,
and treats them as the fabrications of their enemies.

New York Papers to the 25th of October ar-
rived this morning, from which the following are

extracts :
[From the New York Advertiser, Oct. 20.1
" We have received Curagoa Papers to the
(2f`th of September last.
cc r.
kiIIRACOA, SEPT. 23.—Accounts from Puerto
tahello state,that the Ligcra frigatewas lying there
°My for sea, and was to sail in a few days for
Cur='Tana with several vessels under her convoy,
Ina
_en with military stores for the relief of that
Place... A party of the Independent forces had
been for some time past within a short distance
of Puerto Cabello, and has had skirmishes every
night with the Spanish outposts. Accounts, from
Maracaybo announce the arrival of General Bo-
LivAtt in that city, being the .first time he ever
.visited it. 'We are informed he intends to pro-
ceed to St. Martha and Rio de la Hache, for the.
Purpose of inspecting these places ; and from
thence to the head-quarters of General MON-
TILLA, to give effect to the operations for the
reduction of Carthagenia.
CC CURAcOA, AU G 29.—A1l the offspring of
the slaves born after the date of this Decree
Shall be free ; their masters will bring them up,
and provide for them, until their eighteenth year,
and until that period enjoy their services. No
slaves can be sold beyond the province of their
habitation ; nor can any children be separated
from their mothers. Slaves can no longer be
111 Ported ; and a foreigner, among the ports of

Columbic, will be allowed to impo-rt but one
under the denomination of a servant. Those
slaves who have faithfully performed useful ser-
vices to the Republic will be considered free.—
Coro is again ours—Colonel JEIIUISPE came over
to us with 500 men.

CURAcOA, SEPT. 29.—The schooner Tz:o
Friends, of this port, was taken possession of on
Sunday, on her passage from Aruba, by the
Spanish privateer Famoso. It is reported that
these marauders intend to capture all vessels
having produce on board. We have been told
that the Admirals on the Barbadoes and Jamaica
stations have written to General LA TORRA, that
they cannot acknowledge any blockade, when
the power declaring it has not a sufficiency of
men of war to carry it into effect.
[From the New York Paper, Oct. 29

" FROM THE SPANISH MAIN.-Letters from
Santa Martha affirm that the Governor of Car-
thegenia has promised to make his propositions
more moderate for the surrender of that place. It
is probable that Carthegenia will be in possession
of the Republicans by the end of this month,
(September.)
" FROM PERNAMBUCO, SEPT. 16.—The Brig
NpAph going off in a hurry, I have only time to
inform you that the Revolutionists are within
9 miles of this place, and are said to muster

10,000 men.

" NEW YORE, OCT. 16.—We learn of Capt.
WAREOFF that Admiral BRION, Commander of
the Venezuela Navy, died at Curacoa the 29th
of September."

CANADA.—We have received a series of the
Quebec Gazettes to the 9th ult., containing the
following Resolutions of a Public Meeting.
In a few days we, shall give some further in-
teresting extracts from them. These Papers
continue to represent the Canadas as rapidly
sinking into a most deplorable state of po-
verty. , Public meetings are every where held
to endeavour to investigate the causes of the
agricultural distress ; and the general opinion is
c!.:cidedly expressed that the present ruinous
condition of these two fine provinces proceeds
from the restrictions imposed in this country on
the importation of Canadian grain and flour into
the United Kingdom for consumption... Though
we deeply commiserate the evils under which
the Canadas suffer, and the still greater evils
with which they are threatened, we are far
from being surprised at consequences which
have necessarily resulted from our mistaken
policy with regard to those countries. We com-
pel them to take their commercial goods from
us, and yet we shut our ports against the prin-
cipal articles of produce which they can give us
in return. The trade between England and these
Colonies was, as the Resolutions of the Halton
Meeting state, carried on by barter; and a great
part of that trade, therefore, must cease, now
that the exchange by barter has to a certain ex-
tent been rejected by this country. If the only
result were to be the ruin, of the Canadas, we
know that there are too many persons who would
look on such an event, however calamitous to the
Colonists, with indifference. But the decline of
the Colonies is inevitably attended by the, de-
cline of our commerce, the decline of our manu-
factures, and, through them, of our agriculture
also,—the decline of our naval power, and or the
greatness and prosperity of the State.--The fol-
lowing are the Resolutions of the Meeting of the
County of Halton, in the Gore district of Upper
Canada, on the 28th of September, MES
CROOKS, Esq., M.P., in the Chair :

1. That it is the opinion of this Meeting that the restrictions
and regulations at present 'existing in Great Britain with re-
spect to the importation of grain and flour from these Provinces
are such
.as amount almost to a prohibition, and that to their
operation is to be attributed in a great measure the present dis-
tress of our agriculture and.commerce ; and unless means be
devised for our speedy and effectual relief, the certain ruin and
bankruptcy of the entire farming and commercial interests
must ensue.

2. That although a nominal market for grain and flour, the
produce of these Colonies, is supposed to exist in the southern
parts of Europe, yet such are the systems pursued in those
countries, and so great the disavantages under which we la-
bour from the competition and rivalship of other countries more
favourably situated, and who from proximity of situation are
in possession of greater facilities, that our efforts to obtain re-
lief therefrom must be totally -unavailing. So evident indeed
are these advantages, that it is not known that a single shipment
has been made to any of them the past or present years.
3. That notwithstanding the apparent advantages of a trade
with the West Indies, it has been round on close inspection, and
indeed from actual experience, that they are but few in num-
ber, and doubtful in effect. The indirect trade encouraged be-
tween them and the United States, under the authority of the
Free Port Act, and the increased elipence of bringing our pro-
duce to market, in consequence of our remote situation, and the
difficulties occasioned by the Obstruction of our navigation in
winter, rendering, it impossible, for us to enter those markets
with any thing like a fair competition or reasonable chance of

success.

4. That the interests of the two Provinces of Upper and
Lower Canada are so mutually interwoven, that it were to be
wished some measures could be devised (in concert) to remove
existing 'obstacles, and facilitate new arrangements more likely
to contribute to the general welfare.
L. That the existing regulations in Lower Canada, which ad-
mit the infOrtatitm *of American produce to be thereiconsumcd

without any duty imposcd upon it, are directly in the face
8f that reciprocity wh:Ch.ought to exist between the two Pro=
vinces in their commercial intercourse with each other, as it
not only tends to depress the price of Upper Canada produce,
but renders nugatory the IaWS therion existing for its pro=
tection.

6. That the want o :an outlet for ou'r grain, and the conse-
quent depression, of pire6, has an immediate tendency to en=
courage its conversion into spirit, the increasing consumtition
of which is destructive alike to the and industry Of the
inhabitants.

7. That a great proportion of the N'v a *5
of the inhabitants of
this country has been hitherto supplied froni Great Britain, by
way of barter; that such trade must entirely cease from the.
impossibility of making payments, unless our grain flour be
admitted there for consumption.

IL That although our distresses have been progressive, yet
their approach has been so steady and unremitted e• to have
overwhelmed the inhabitants with consequences the most ruin-
ous, and with a rapidity which no caution or foresight could
guard against. In these appalling circumstances we see but
little prospect of relief, unless by a direct application by peti-
tion to the justice and generosity of his Majesty's Government
and the Imperial Parliament.
9. That with this view, a Committee, consisting of 12 persons,
be appointed to prepare and forward such petitiot!s as may be
deemed necessary to promote the objects recommended in the
foregoing Resolutions. •
10. That the said Committee consist of J. Crooks, Esq. M.P.
Manuel Ovenfield, William Chisholm,-Daniel C. Redy, Wal-
ter Nicol, Titus G. Samons, Absalom Shade; John Erb,Alex.
Brown, Robert Murray, James 3PBFide, and JameS Biggar,
Esqrs.

11. That this Meeting recommend it' as a measure of vital
import to the Canadas, that similar meetings be held in the se-
veral Counties throughout the Province.

It must be highly gratifying to our Readers,
to learn that the seeming inattention and disre-
spect, with which his MAJESTY was suffered to
pass through the Netherlands, during his recent
visit to the Continent, has been satisfactorily ex-
plained. Directions, it now appears, had been
given for the observance of every Royal ce-
remony and mark of respect, due to the Sove-
reign of Great Britain, and worthy of the grate-
ful and affectionate esteem of the King of the
NETHERLANDS toward the person of his Bat.
TANNIC MAJESTY, which directions were only
rescinded by express desire of the Illustrious
Traveller himself, who wished to pass through
the Netherlands incognito. The personal at-
tentions of the King of the NETHERLANDS, to his
Royal Visitor, were of the most friendly and
gratifying description.—Our Readers will recol-
lect that on Saturday last we scouted the impu-
tation which had been cast on the King of the
NETHERLANDSI with respect to this affair, by
some pretended, or at best injudicious, friends to
the maintenance of the KING'S Royal Dignity,
and that we expressed an opinion, if disrespect
had been shewn at all, that it must have orjgi-
nated in the boorish republican feelings of the
people, and not in the indifference or hostility of
the Government of the Netherlands. It is with
sincere pleasure, therefore, that we now find
that there existed no ground whatever for dis-
satisfaction; and that our beloved KING was
treated conformably to his own declared wishes.

In the Council held yesterday at Carlton
Palace it was determined to prorogue the meet
in g of Parliament to the 3d of January, 1822.
It was also decided that. a Proclamation should
immediately appear to announce the issue of a
new coinage of Farthings.
The Right lion. GEORGE CANNING had a long
interview ,yesterday morning with the Earl of
LivEnpooL, at Liverpool House.
A meeting was held yesterday at the CHANCEL-
LOR of the EXCHEQUER'S in Downing-street, at
which were present the Duke of WELLINGTON,
the Earl LIVERPOOL, the Earl BATHURST, Lord
MELVILLE., and Sir C. LONG.
ROYAL ANEcnoTE.—Mr. ANDrtEw PITT, an
eminent Quaker, died at Hampstead on the 16th
of April, 1736, of a gout fit in his stomach. On
Sunday the 4th of that month, he had waited on
the then PRINCE OF WALES, to solicit his favour
in relation to the Quakers"rithe. Bill, when his
Royal Highness answered to this effect :—" As
I am a friend to liberty in general, and to tole-
ration in particular, I wish you may meet with
all proper favour ; but, for myself, I never gave
my vote in Parliament ; and to influence my
friends, or direct my servants in theirs, does not
become my station. To leave them entirely to
their own consciences and understanding, is a
rule I have hitherto prescribed to myself, and"
purpose through life to Observe."—Mr. PITT,
overcome with this conduct, replied—" May it
please the Prince of Wales ! I am greatly affected
with thy excellent notions of liberty ; and am
more pleased with the answer thou least given
us, than if thou had'st-granted our request."

FATAL ACM DENT.—A boat from Barton, with
five persons on board, about ten o'clock on Sun-
day morning was upset, and all on board perish-
ed. It belonged to a THOMAS JOBB, who, not-
withstanding the state of the ‘vind, had offered
to take passengers to Hull. Unfortunately
Mr. THOMAS TINDALL, ship-owner, of this place,
was at the water side at the time, just .arriv-
ed from London, anxious to be at home. The
offer could not be resisted, and he jumped into
the boat with three other persons, a James At-
kin, a lad named Warrender, both of Barton,
and a poor man going to
.Beverley fair. The
whole 5 were precipitated into the deep, and the
body of Mr. Tindall was not found till Friday
afternoon, on the shore .neat Dairycoates, oppo-
site to which. place the boat was. - sup.posed'to
have been seen struggling before it went down..
A man of'the name of Grasby found him, and it
is only justice to state that Mr. Tindall's gold
watch, with a variety of papers, were deliVered
safe to Mr.-Datchman.—(4llll,Packet)
