Bayonets were charged and sabres drawn, and subse-
quently the cavalry and gendarmerie quarrelled. The
nature of this disturbance, designated by the word
PANIC, which seems to be now used on all and very

different occasions, remains to be explained, but every
account from every part of Spain shows the dreadful
state of anarchy which exists. An Edict of the Police
in Valencia offers a price for the head of the chief and

of each individual of a band of brigands, which the
united efforts of the soldiers and the police had been

unable to put down ; and the condition of affairs in
Catalonia is scarcely less disgraceful to the Government

of the country.

Letters from the Archipelago, announce that the
Turkish troops under REDSCHID PACHA have ar-

rived before Athens, and joined those from Negro-

pont. GOURA is said to be blockaded in the citadel,
but that his own nephew has submitted to and joined
the Turks, and it is thought that he is about to sur-

render, as there are little hopes of relief. No rein-

forcements can be sent to him without endangering the
safety of Napoli.
It is mentioned, that the Austrian squadron has
lately seized several vessels, to indemnify their mer-
chants fol. depredations committed on their trade.
Fifty Foreign vessels of war, besides the Belligerenti,
traverse the Archipelago, and yet it has been found
impossible to put down the Pirates, who never,ereep
forth from their lurking places until they perceive some
merchant vessel becalmed and without convoy. A
French bomb vessel, the Amphitrite, is stated to have
been plundered in the Archipelago.

The •Greek and Turkish Fleets, on the 3d of
August, had been five days in sight of each other off
Samos. The Hydriots are said to have sent forty.
Vessels to the relief of that Island for a payment of
200,000 piastres.

The following are extracts from the French Papers
on other subjects :

(From the Moils.)
," The King has just granted to the Commerce of Lyons,
a new proof of his superintending care. His Majesty has
deigned to consent to the nomination of an American resi-
dent at that City. In consequence, Mr. J. Fennimore
Cooper, appointed to that office by the United States
Government, has received his exequatur, and will proceed
immediately to Lyons to fulfil his functions. This favour
will be very important to the commission traffic in silks, and
for our silk tissues, to which the United States opened
some years ago one of their most important ports."
(From the Journal des Debats.)
" PARIS, SEPT. 2.—We have remarked with astonish-
ment the tone assumed by two Ministerial Journals a few
days ago, with respect to Spain. The following is from
the last Number of the Echo du Midi; a Toulouse Paper,
highly
,Ministerial, and arch Jesuitical 'We said that it
was impossible, whatever was the issue of the struggle, in
which Portugal is engaged, that the effect should not be
felt at Madrid, because it is impossible that an effect should
not follow its Cathie. The event has justified our predic-
tions, Spain is now, Placed on the brink of an abyss, into
which tau Loaktiown hutid eptiears re4ly to precipitate hex.
Our correspondent from the froutierS of 'gruff, iffforniaiits,
by the last post, of the effect produced in the Northern
Provinces, by the political events in Madrid, for the dis-
missal of the Duke de L'lnfantado is one of no small im-
portance in the actual situation of the country. The Mi-
nisters (Caloinarde and Salmon) follow the King to
Granja; whither almost, all the Diplomatic Corps have also
gone—a circumstance which tends to increase suspicions,
because sinister reports are spread abroad, with respect to
the objects of this assemblage. Spain at present finds her-
self in so critical a state, that every thing unhappily, leads
her to dread an approaching explosion, which will
For
be the most dreadful that has been yet seen. For the
Spaniard, once thrown into the arena, is a furious lion that
no chain will bind.'
" Our readers must not be deceived with respect to the
true meaning of the Echo—it can have but one, namely,
that the Spaniards ought to rush to arms, and perpetrate
another Saint Bartholomew, up,on the whole of the Consti-
i tutional party, and then march upon Portugal. Without
this, the absolute system is undone • without this, the
Diplomatic '
Corps will, perhaps, give the King the sinister
advice, to moderate his power; without this,. the not un-
known hand of Mr. Canning will push Spain into the
abyss."

We received last evening, Baltimore Papers to the
4th, Philrielphia,to the Bth, rand New York to the
9th ultimo, which were brought home in the Silas
Richards. They possess but little political interest;
extracts are, however, given in another column.

A gentleman landed. from the Silas Richards, at
Holyhead, on Monday, aud proceeded to London,
who is said to be the bearer of dispatches from Mr.
WARD, at Mexico.

These dispatches are supposed to relate to a cir.
cumstance mentioned in private letters. It is stated
that a dispute having arisen in the adjustment of an
account between the *Mexican 'thivernment 'and the
Agent of a Meicantile House, the former meditated
the seizure of the property of the latter, who to secure
his personal liberty, took refuge in the house of Mr.
WARD. The protection afforded to this gentleman
had given offence to the Mexican Government, and it
is even said, that in the discussion which ensued,
Mr. WARD Lad, threatened to demand his passports.
We shall wait with some interest, the further explana.
tion of this matter.

We learn by these Papers, that a severe shock of an
Earthquake had been experienced in Bogota, which
is said to have. destroyed property in that city to the
amount of half a million of dollars.

We extract from a Malta Paper the following ac•
count of the affair between his MAJESTY'S ship Sy.
Mlle, Captain PEC II EL L, and some Greek Pirates, o
which we gave an outline some weeks ago

MALTA, JUNK 28,—0n Saturday last, his Majesty's
ship SyLille, Captain Pechell, who sailed hence some time
ago for the purpose of protecting our commerce with
Alexandria from the swarms of pirates which have
of late
so alarmingly infested these seas, returned to this
after having dislodged a nest of the most atrocious of them
on the southern coast of the island of Candle, where his
information induced him to believe they were concealed-
Upon arriving off that island, Captain Pechell recon-
noitred it with the grotest diligence; and persisting in the
