an immense concourse of people.

CORFU, Aun. 22.—Letters from Prevesa of the 15th,
state' that the Seraskier has'encamped in the gardens of
Athens, and is besieging the fortress, the garrison of
which have resolved on a vigorous defence. A finnan has
been published at Prevesa, announcing the success of the
Sultan against the Janissaries, and inviting the faithful
Mussuhnans to enrol themselves among the regular troops.
It is said that there are frequent disputes at Zante be-
tween the soldiers of the Austrian marine and the inhabi-
tants, in which the English military seem to take part with
the latter.

There is no news here respecting the affairs of Greece.
A very rich Greek merchant arrived a few days ago with
Russian papers (passports), quite regular, who, it is said,
came OA his own business, and would depart as soon as it
was arranged, but he was refused entrance.
TRIESTE, SEPT. 6.—We learn by the Austrian Govern-
mont ship, the Sophia' that Ibrahim Paella has foand•bew
obstacles in the route he has taken through the interior of
the Morea in proceeding to attack Napoli di Romania.
Colocotroni met hith at- Argos with six thousand men. We

demonstration of respect. He has taken the Greek Chiefs

specting the insults offered to the Austrian flag, and finally
demanded from the, Government a' penalty of 50,000
piastres, for the losses sustained by the subjects of Austria.
LISBON; SEPT. I.—On Tuesday last, the Government
.dispatched a courier extraordinary to Madrid. He is the
bearer of a Note, which is to be transmitted through -our
Charge d'Affaires to the Spanish Court, demanding,' for
the last time,: the surrender of the fugitives, and the pro-
hibition of their future admittance.

Three Portuguese merchant-vessels have arrived here
from Rio Janeiro. One of them has brought a hag and
dispatches. We learn that Admiral Lobo, and two civil
Judges of the Supreme Tribunal, have been decapitated,
after being publicly degraded. The first for cowardice,
and the two latter for subornation.

P4aft.4, SEPT. 18.—The Mario di Roma sayi, that the
Portuguese at Rome took the oath to the Constitutional
Charter on the 15th September, at the Hotel of the Por-
tuguese Legation.
The journal du Commerce of yesterday announces that
fresh Commercial Agents have been installed in Mexico.
Orders have been given in our ports to admit, hencefor-
ward, the Mexican flag. It adds, that when similar
agents shall have been installed in the same manner in the
states of South America, the flags of-those States will be
admitted into our ports. We believe in the correctness of
these statements, which seem to us to be the natural con-
sequences of the developement of our friendly and com-
mercial relations with those new States.
But we cannot admit with the Journal du Commerce
that this measure, which is entirely one of good will and '
for the interest of commerce, decides a political question of
such importance, as that of the negotiations of independence
of the Spanish colonies ; this negotiation cannot take place
except by a treaty stipulating it ; it cannot result from the
admission of the Mexican flag to our ports any more than
from the entrance of our ships of war into ports where the
Mexican flag is hoisted, from the friendly reception already
given to that flag in our colonies and by our mariners on.
every sea, or from the sending French commercial agents
to the ports of Mexico.
The Government appears to us to have taken the course
which we supposed it would take, and to have wisely dis-
tinguished between the commercial and the political ques-
tions, in doing for the safety of our commerce, what the
development of relations with the New States required of
it, and showing the regard for the rights of Spain, which
are due to their legitimacy. It is by this prudent conduct,
that France may one day attain the object, which she has
always appeared to us to desire to reserve for herself,
that of being called open as a friendly and disinterested
mediator, amicably to deter Mine the differences which
subsist between Spain and itfi ancient colonies.
LISBON, SEPT. 2.—Letters from Rio Janeiro, dated
the 10th of July, which we have received by the mer-
chant ship El Nuevo Despigne announce that news has
been received in that city, of a check given to the Impe-
rial Squadron before Monte Video. The same letters add,
that in consequence of this news there have been several
meetings of the Council of State, which not only pressed
his Imperial MFdesty to terminate the war against Buenos
Ayres, but some merribeis of the Council even ventured
to suggest the propriety of surrendering up the Cisplatine
provinces to Buenos Ayres, provided that Republic would
not conclude a peace on other terms.
(From the Courier Francais.)
MADRID, SEPT. 8.---(Private Correspondence.)—The
Court will return here on the 21st. Apropos of Saint ll-
defonso—a singular anecdote is related here, and with all the
semblance of truth. At one of the last parades, the Infant
Don Carlos, passing before the line of the Royal Guard,
was saluted by the bearer of the colours with the same
marks of distinction paid to the King. This circumstance
did not escape his Majesty, who stood as usual at his bal-
cony. After the review General d'Espagna was sent for,
and in his presence his Majesty severely censured the con-
duct of the standard-bearer. The General excused him-
self by saying, that it was done without his authority, and
contrary to the established rules of discipline. But, as in
similar cases, it is the inferior who suffers for follies of the
great. The standard-bearer was put under arrest, and law
proceedings are already commenced against him.
(From the Journal des De/gds.)
MARID, SEPT. 7.—(Private Letter.)—The Captain-
General of the Province of Estramadura has sent dispatches
to announce that the two squadrons of the 4th regiment of
cavalry, forming the garrison of Olivenza, have deserted to
Portugal, with their arms, baggage, and military chest.
Their officers, including Lieutenant-Colonel Desgard,went
at their head. On the Minister of War receiving this dis-
patch, he sent a courier to Estramadura, ordering the Cap-
tain-General to dismiss the officers of a battalion of artil-
lery, which is at Olivenza, and seid- the sub-officers and
soldiers of the battalion to Badajoz. These facts have
caused considerable sensation in his Majesty's Council;
and it is not concealed that, if the troops of the line begin
to be disaffected, the Royalist volunteers will not be
able to support the Throne twenty-four hours.—On the
.sth instant, the following event occurred at Saint Ilde-
fonso. • When the King returned from his airing, the
troops at the Castle paid him the usual honours, con-
sisting principally in saluting the King with their co-
lours—an honour which belongs exclusively to his
Majesty. Half an hour afterwards, however, when the In-
fant Don Carlos arrived, the troops were drawn up, and the
Ensign rendered the same honours to him as to the King;
hut the General Count d'Espagne, who was present,
restored the flag to its proper position with one hand, and,
with the other, struck the Ensign. An inquiry is going
on, both into the conduct of the Ensign,
and into the
conduct of the General who struck him. There is a re-
port that the Duke of San Carlos is ordered to repair to
Johannisberg, from Paris. Ido not guarantee this report,
but 1 believe it is correct. The Supreme Council of War
it. now occupied with it report transmitted to it by the
Minister or this department, on the propriety of making a
'levy of .50,000 men. Troops have been sent to Cuenga,
where the Royalist volunteers have. Committed great

LONDON,
THURSDAY EVENING, SEPT. 21, 1826.

In a preceding column will be found extracts from
the French Papers of Monday, and the Etoile of 1:
Tuesday morning, which reached us last night.
The intelligence from the
,Peninsula is of some in-
terest. It would appear that disaffection had spread
itself into 'the ranks of the Spanish Army, and..that
desertions had commenced from it into Portugal. It
is announced that two squadrons of the 4th Regiment
of Cavalry, forming the garrison of Olivenza, have
deserted to Portugal with their arms, baggage, and
military chest, headed too by their Officers, including
their Lieut.-Colonel. At Cuenca also, the Royalist '1
Volunteers have committed great disorders, and the
Minister of War is said to have proposed in conse-
quence, the levy of 50,000 nice. if ell this new%
should prove to be correct, we may anticipate a speedy
close to the reign of absolute Power in Spain.
The Government of Portugal appear to have firmly
demanded the restoration of the fugitives from that
country to Spain, and a guarantee against future ad-
mittance to deserters. • It is mentioned also from Lis-
bon, that . despatches had been received from Rio de
Janeiro, bringing accounts of Admiral Lon°, and
two Civil Judges of the Supreme Tribunal, having
been decapitated, after being publicly degraded, the
Admiral for cowardice, and the Judges for subornation.
The accounts in these Papers from Moscow, come
down to the 27th of August only. The Grand Duke
'CONSTANTINE' had arrived at the gremlin the day
before, for the purpose of being present at the Corona-
tion, which according to an account published by an
Evening Paper of last night, actually took place on
the 3d instant, the day fixed for this ceremony a:-
' cording to previous accounts.

By letters from Trieste, it appears that the Aus-
trian Admiral PAULUCCI, had demanded from the
Greek Government 50,000 piastres, in indemnifica-
tion of the losses sustained by the subjects of Austria
from Greek Pirates.

The Etoile argues against the conclusion drawn by
the Journal du Commerce, from the admission of
vessels under the Mexican flag, into the ports of
France, that the recognition of the New States by
France has virtually taken place, and endeavours to
draw a distinction between Commercial and Political
recognition. The one, however, must speedily fol-
low the other, and at no distant period we shall have
this subtle representative of the French Ministry, prov-
ing that its present arguments were futile, and that
political recognition had taken place when the ,flag of
the Independent States had been first admitted into
the ports belonging
to the Grande Nation.

diminished. The following' are extracts
HACiUE, SEPT. 17.—... we have before us several ac-
counts of the sickness prevailing at Groningen, though we
do not know the number of deaths in the last week. It
appears that the number of sick, on Friday the Bth,
amounted,
the city and suburbs, to 8195. it is to be
wished, a letter from that town, that the air may be
pu wi ram, anind and ' d the disorder checked. In

too, the number of the sick is very great, but
the mortality is not so considerable as in the town. The
sickness spreads more over`the .whole town, especially
among servants, bakers' men, and poor people, though in
some instances. among the higher classes. The DUO"

trates do their utmost to check the disorder. Thus, in
consequence of a representation of the Board of Health to
the municipal authorities, a Proclamation was issued on the
11th, ordering, that during the continuance of the disorder
now prevailing, the dead shall be buried on the third-day,
under a penalty of fifty florins. On the other hand great
hopes must be entertained of a speedy cessation of the
evil, because all persons interested in the autumn fair have
been summoned to present themselves at the town-hall to
obtain places, so that the fair will be held, The Rector
Magnificus, of the High School at Groningen, has given
notice that the academical lectures will commence at the
usual time, though a report had been spread that the
opening would be deferred.
Letters from Lieuwarden say that the disease prevails
there also. The average number of deaths in that town
is 35 in a month; whereas, in June, 40 persons died, in
July 60, and in August 89.
In the open country and the towns in Friezland, which
are similarly situated with Groningen, the sickness, with
its melancholy consequences, appears to continue 1 and si-
milar accounts are received frOm East Friezland. It is ob-
served that the inhabitants of the districts near the sea
suffer less than those farther inland, especially in clayey
soils, and in parts that have been overflowed. The num-
ber of sick at Jever, in particular, is said to be great.
Her Royal Highness the Princess Marianne was, on the
15th, admitted a member of the Reformed Church, by the
Rev. M. Delprat, Chaplain to his Majesty.
HAARLEM, SEPT. 18.—We learn from Groningen that
the fear that the number of deaths would not be smaller
in the week, from the 7th to the 14th September, than it
had been before, has proved well-founded, and it amounted
to 142. 166 persons are already received in the new hos-
pital, from the establishment of which great hopes are
entertained.

A letter from Lord BATHURsT to the. Governor
of Demerara, of which the following is the conclusion,
has created a great sensation in that colony. " For the
manumission of the slaves" it is observed his Lordship
states, " Parliament and his Majesty's Government
stand pledged to give the planters an equitable com-
pensation." The letter is dated Downing-street, Fe-
bruary 25, 1826 :
" The manumission of slaves, under these regulations,
will be in conformity with the concluding Resolution of
the House of Commons, in 182 b, which declares, That
the great object of emancipation must be accomplished at
the earliest period which shall be compatible with the well
being of the slaves tabemselves, with the safety of the co-
lonies, and with a fair mid equitable consideration of the
interests of private property.' But the Court 'of Policy
must recollect, that if, on one hand, Parliament and his
Majesty's Government stand pledged to give the planters
an equitable compensation; they stand equally pledged to
take such measures as may ultimately, 'though gradually,
work out the freedom of the slaves. The Court of Policy
may be assured, that from the final accomplishment of this
object, this country will not be diverted.

" BATHURST."

The Etoile of Tuesday has another' of its barefaced
attacks upon this country, with reference to the treat-
ment of Catholics detained in the Richmond Peniten-
tiary in Dublin. The articles on this subject have so
little talent that they hardly deserve notice—but the
publication of them► 4nay serve to show the hatred
which rankles in the hearts of the French authorities
(under whose influence the Etoile is acknowledged to
be) against this country. We therefore subjoin the
article alluded to :

PARIS, SEPT. 18.—Our readers remember the article
relative to the ill-treatment and the torments inflicted on
the Catholics detained in the prison of the Richmond
Penitentiary, to force them to become Protestants. They
also remember that several English Journals, imitating the
urbanity of some of those of Paris, have treated us as
libel lists and liars. We hare since said that The Dublin
Morning Register had confirmed the statement of The
Truth Teller. The Dublin Evening Post has just done it
in a more formal manner. The Editor declares that he
knows the persons, and has seen the instrument of torture
referred to. This instrument has the form of a helmet,
with what The Evening Post calls a tongue. This tongue
was intended to enter the mouth of the prisoner, to pre-
vent his speaking or, complaining. According to what the
Irish Journalist says, we may. expect in the next publica-
tion all the details; and we shall then see whether Pro-
testantis►n is as tolerant In M. Benjamin Constant repre-
sents it. If we were to judge by its acts since its establish-
ment in England, we should be obliged to acknowledge,
that it is only tolerant while it is weak. Yet, in spite of
the infamous conduct of the Protestant Inquisitors of
Dublin, they do not less praise the English tolerance, and
put up prayers for the establishment of the same system
among us.

Commercial letters received by the last mail from
Dantzic, speak of an alarming advance in the price of
potatoes. In last October, 18 florins was the cur-
rency of what now brings 70 ; showing a rise of nearly
400 per cent. ! A report had been published, by
authority, in which it is admitted, that owing to the
deficiency in several of the crops, the poorer classes
were threatened with famine this winter ; exertions,
however, were making to avert the horrid consequences
of a scarcity of food. In and near Dantzic, the report
further states, that a population of upwards of seventy
thousand souls, it was feared, would be subject to the
greatest privations during the ensuing winter.

The Allgemeine Zeitung, of the 14th instant,
reached us this morning, by which it would appear that
the Emperor of AUSTRIA is apprehensive of catching
the measles from a member of his family, and has
therefore established a necessary quarantine :

VINNNA, WT. 9.

Their Majesties the Emperor and Empress will not ar-
rive here till about the 22d of this month. Their Impe-
rial Highnesses the Archduke Rudolphe, Cardinal Arch-
bishop of 011mutz, and the Archduke Viceroy and his
z
Consort, arrived here the day before yesterday. Her Ma-
jesty the Archduchess Maria Louisa is also expected to
return to this city, on her way back to Parma. The circle
of the Imperial Family, the whole of which was to be ay''
sembled, is unfortunately rendered incomplete b

neas of one of the
children of the Archduke harki: it

mily, who will remain at Baden the disorder is over.

It will be seen by our report in another column;
that a General Meeting of the ProPrietors of 3o
ivtock, took place this morning at the Bank, whe
Mr. YOUNG distinctly put the question, whether it_
was the intention of the Directors to discount at fort
per cent. The CHAIRMAN replied, that the pot)!
had not expressed any expectation of the kind to w
no chasi
Directors, and they had therefore made

and did not intend to make any. Tit trusted that
ansvobr would be deemed satisfactory. As to Branch
Banks, he considered them of great good to the
country generally, and they would be found still more
so as they became more extended. But for them, the
credit of the country, which had been tottering, would
have been entirely crushed. He also observed,
that it was notorious the Directors had endeavoured
to get an extension of their Charter, but had unfor-
tunately failed. He was happy, however, that as they
had only the public good at heart, they had obtained
the public confidence, as a reward of their conduct.

Accounts from Paris this morning state, that M.

The following letter, received at LLOYD'S Coffee-
house this morning from their Agent in Dublin, an-
nounces the Dissolution of the St. Patrick Insurance
Company. The late hour at which we have received
this piece of intelligence enables us only to remark
that, however, beneficial in theory it may appear to
establish Companies for Marine and other Insurances
of that nature, experience has fully proved that the
special knowledge of each case, which can be possessed
by individuals alone, is requisite for a profitable result
in so hazardous and anxious a branch of business.

" A Meeting of the Proprietors of the St. Patrick's
Insurance Company was held on Saturday to break up the
Company, their deposited capital of 150,0001. being spent
to about 11,0001., and they have out-standing risks ex-
ceeding 1,000,0001. Whatever new claims arise must be
settled by the wealthy part of the Proprietors. In August
1824, we had the Commercial, National, Patriotic, St.
Patrick's, Royal Irish, and Shamrock Insurance Com-
panies, taking Marine, Fire, and Life Risks. Four of
these are extinct. The National and Patriotic only re-
main."

Gibraltar Chronicles have been received this morning to the

principles. Public proclamations have been issued at one town,
intimating their intention to protect all Royalist fugitives ; and a
party of the '24th Regiment, headed by a Viscount Monte A legro,
consisting of between 2 and 300, have been received at Zamora,
after disarming them.
