GENERAL MACGREGOR.

This Officer has_publiShed'a letter,_dated Edin-
bnith, 25th ult., in.wtqCyie gives an account of
his expulsion frOM 110tO=Bello in April, 1819,
and Otributes it to the treachery of one of his
own. officers-. The following is, an extract from
his letter:—
" I had stationed strong guards. on all the roads by-which
they
.ceuld approach, and had- taken all the precautions neces-
sary
for the security oftfte town. 'What then was my surprise,
aboutien minutes before day-light in the morning, when part
of the regiment of Catalonia entered, and the rest surrounded
the Government House, in which I was ! Treachery was ap-
parent, though I knew not the-traitors.
" The house had a balcony about 20 feet high; beneath it a
party of Spaniards were placed,, and were firing at one of - the
fens, which occupied their attention, and -having,-no alterna-
tive, I leaped from the balcony clear of them—fell, but recov-
ered .Myself in an instant, and 'made for' the. mole, when .I
plunged into the sea, pursued and fired upon by the enemy. In
the water I stripped, tied up my clothes and cap,•and sent- the
bundle away from me to deceive the enemy, .and attract his fire.
I was a full' hour in this predicament, -when a boat picked 'me
• up, through the - sides_ of which three shots passed before I
reached 'the brig of war 'EI Macgregor, at anchor in the ',inter
part of the harbour.. The nromenCl got on board, my flag an-
nounced my safety. • , • '
" I was but a few minutes in -the'caliiti when the. firing on
shoredased,- and a boat came akingSide with a Spanish offfeer
and one Of.my aides-de-camp, Cornet S.E.n:lt, just made
prisoner. This officer was dispatched by the Spanish general
with consent of Colonel 1-I±krz whocommanded in fort.S.an
. .
GetrOnijno, for the purpose .of proposing to me a capitulation.
In Order to gain time, 1 told the Spanish officer that he must
return and . treat, with Colonel RAFTER, declaring, however,
that with respect to the surrender of the squadron, it was ridi-
culous and..absurd to propose. t. I also sent. two, officers to
Colonel RAFTER, one a surgeon,' to explain.my situation. I
exhorted him earnestly to defend the forts; and endeavour, with
the .assistance of the squadron, to drive out the enemy ; for,
even if our effortg shouldfail, there was no necessity for capitu..
lating, as we could still evacuate the forts and bring, the troops
in.the. boati of the different vessels on board the sqnadrOn. In
about a quarter of an hour, to our astonishinent; the independ-
ent colours were hauled down, the Spanish hoisted, and a heady
fire frourthe batteries commenced upon the squadron. •...
'' This occurrence was to me altogether mysterious ; no noise-.
no alarm, and the house in which I. was,„enterectand environed
by the enemy. Soon afterwards; however, I-obtained-the most
satisfactory. explanation :-.--;•An Officer:.under my command had
engaged to.the Duke of SAN C.tneos, in Landon, to seize the
earliest-opportunity of delivering me into the hands of-the Spa-
niards. lie had obtained my confidence, and was advanced.—
This person bad the command of all the advanced posts in the
morning of the assault. He ordered them to retire ; and, ac-
coaling to a preconeerted plan, two divisions of the enemy, of
fOO men each, were conducted into the• town just as the-day
began todawn. , very man entered Fort Gloria arm in
arm with a Spanish Officer, and assisted; in hauling down' the
Patriot standard.".. ,

FRENCH PAPERS.

FARiS, SEPT. 9. 8 . —The yellow fever not only
prelails in Catalonia, but it extends to Arragon.
It has committed great ravages at Tortosa, Me-
quinenga, and Fraga. The last town is only two

days journey from Saragossa. The authorities
take the strictest precautions again,t the progress
of this malady, the approach of which has already
produced great alarm at Saragogsa, and made se-
veral families leave the town.
Five physicians have been sent by the French
Government to Barcelona, to observe the nature
of the contagion which prevails there. It is said
that more than a hundred medical persons, who
were anxious to undertake this perilous service,
hrid solicited the Government to be allowed to

form part of the mission.
Letters from Barcelona, dated the 15th, give
the following details :
" Our state of health is most alarming.—
Within these two or three days there have been
great numbers of deaths in the street of Mon-
cade and two other streets : but the disease bad

not appeared in the other quarters of the town

Most of the shops are shut, and people leave
their houses as little aq possible. For some days
past the bulletin of Barcelonetta has stated the
deaths at from 20 to 30 per day. All persons

not infected have been compelled to leave Bar-
celonetta. They amounted to 2,000, and have
been lodged in the convent of St. Jerome. The
Government provides for the expense which the
situation of this unhappy country renders neces-
sary. Every individual who is destitute receives
five reals per day."
It appears that the fever at Barcelona is not
of long duration. The patient is generally car-
ied off within three hours from the commence-
ment of the disease.

According to the Journal de Lyon of the 24th,
letters from Marseilles of the 23d say nothing
as to the state of health in that city.

A letter from Marseilles of the 9.lst states,
that the contagion had been stopped in the La-
zaretto of that city. The victims up to that day
had been only six ; and of the seven sick five
were in a state of convalescence.

Letters from Lisbon of the 12th state, that
commercial vessels had arrived there from dif-
ferent ports of the Mediterranean, having on
board individuals attacked by the yellow fever.
They were immediately sent to the Lazaretto of
Mahon.

A letter from Milan of the sth September
ccslrms, it is said, the intelligence of the almost
sudden death of the celebrated Bergami.

FP.ANEFOP.T, SEPT. 21.—Many persons enter-
tain doubts of the continuance of peace since the
late events at Bucharest, which prove what the
Turkish Government means by an amnesty.
We learn by letters from Odessa, of the 2d,
that as soon as the Grand Segnior and the Divan
were certain that Russia would abandon the
Greeks to their own exertions, the persecution of
the Christians recommenced, and will no doubt
continue until the whole Greek nation are an-
nihilated.

SEPT. 2'2.—The Gazette of Warsaw announces
that 9,0,000 Greeks, who had retired through the
:Bukowina into Bessarabia, are arrived at their
destination. A still greater number, who had
passed into Transylvania from Walachia, are also
arrived in safety.

Advices from Cronstadt, of the 31st August,
state that the Turks, dreading a war with Rus-
Sili) have carried off all the provisions in Wala-
dila, in order that their enemies may not find any
means of subsistence in the event of their in-
vading that province. The peasantry are prohi-
bited from cultivating their lands, and if found
at work are put to death.
AUGSBURG, SEPT. 21.—Letters from Con-
stantinople of the 27th say, that the Greeks will
not acknowledge the new Patriarch, because he
has been nominated without the consent of the
Synod, most of whose members have perished by
the daggers of the Turks. There are some
Greeks even who assert that the Patriarch is a
Jew in disguise.

SEPT. 22.—[Extract of a Private Letter.]—
We know for certain that the massacre of the
Arnauts at Bucharest, in violation of the promise
made to them of an amnesty, has excited in
Russia, and chiefly among the troops, a general
indignation. All the letters from that Empire
breathe war, or at least express a desire for the
commencement of hostilities against the Turks.
LINTZ, SEPT. 16.—[Extract of a Private Let-
ter.l—The affairs of Turkey seem to occupy en-
tirely the attention of the Cabinet of Vienna.

The Prince de Metternich has frequent interviews
with the Ministers of the Great Powers; and some
of the latter, who wished to leave our capital for a
short time have delayed their departure. We
do not think that war will break out between
Turkey and Russia; but if it should take place,
our cabinet will not declare itself against the
Porte. The Grand Signior and the Divan ex-
press the greatest confidence in our Government.
We have not the least motive for war; besides,
Au;tria is materially interested in maintaining
the Turkish Government, and this feeling has
predominated in all her negotiations. It is,
therefore, natural she should use every exertion
to avert war between Russia and the Porte; and
her efforts have, it is said, been successful.

PETERSBURG it, SETT. I.—The Emperor and
Empress are on the point of quitting their palace
at Kammenyostron for that at Karskojezelo.
This proves the inaccuracy of the reports which
stated his Imperial Majesty had set out for
Odessa, on the banks of the Pruth.
SEPT. 4.—The Baron de Strogonoff is expected
here immediately.
Il ANO VER, SEPT. 19.—The regiments of the
Guards received their colours yesterday. His
Royal Highness addressed the troops on the oc-
casion, who in reply gave several cheers in ho-
nour of the Kiug. The troops then marched
before his Royal Highness, displaying their new
colours. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of
Cambridge and Prince William of Hesse were
present at the ceremony, which attracted a great
,concourse of spectators.

MADRID, SEPT. 17.—The King will return to
Madrid on the 22d. A courier extraordinary
has brought an account of the death of General
Arco Aguero, Commander of the Province of
Estremadura. He left 13adajos on the 13th,
with his Aid-de-camp and some friends, to hunt.
His horse having started off with the bit in his
teeth, the General wished to alight, but was
thrown with his foot entangled in the stirrup,
and was killed before any assistance could be
offered him. The country has lost in him one
of the principal defenders of liberty, and the
army one of its bravest officers. He was chief
of the staff of Quiroga's army in the isle of Leon.
The report on the events of the night of the
20th August is published. It states that General
Morino acted on that occasion comformably to
military law, and that he did not draw his sabre
against the people; that Sub-Lieutenant Sturcio,
Chief of the Post St. Martin, did his duty in
defending the prisoners entrusted to his charge ;
and that Lieut. Mancebo had insulted General
Morillo. The report concludes with recommend-
ing that the result, of the inquiry should be com-
municated to General Morillo ; that Sub-Lieut.
Sturcio should be set at liberty, and Lieutenant
Mancebo tried.

The Minister of War, in transmitting the re-
sult of the inquiry to General Morillo, intimated
to him that his Majesty was resolved he should
immediately re-assume the command of the pro-
vince. The Captain General of the national ar-
mies, D. Jose Palafox, has given most honourable
testimony in favour of General Morillo.
The arrival of the Marquis de Santa-Cruz has
given rise to several reports respecting differences
which are said to have taken place between the
Cabinet of the Thuilleries and the Spanish Go-
vernment, Immediately after the arrival of this
Nobleman there was a Cabinet-council of Minis-
ters, but nothing has yet transpired on the sub-
ject of their conferences.

An article in the Regulatcur has been de-
nounced, by the British Charge d'Affaires, as inju-
rious to his Britannic Majesty. The jury of ac-
cusation has, however, declared, that there is no
ground for a prosecution.
The Civil and Military Authorities of Lerida
have addressed a letter to General itiego, ex-
pressing the satisfaction they shall feel at be-
holding him within their walls, and also the in-
terest they take in his cause. The General sent
an answer from Fraga on the 6th, returning his
thanks to the Authorities, and informing them
that he should enter their town the next day.
The Government is daily receiving addresses
from the Provinces in favour of General Riego.
That from Valladolid is conceived in terms far
from respectful to the King. The addressers re-
quest his Majesty to be King himself, and to
reign constitutionally. If General Riego be
guilty, which they strongly doubt, let him be
proceeded against by law ; if he he innocent, he
ought to be restored to his command.

Many persons are of opinion that the new
Minister of War will not hold his place.

INFORMATION RESPECTING THE LATFST
EVENTS IN GREECE.

(FROM TIIE ALLGEMETNE ZEITUNG OF SEPT. 17.1

As the great and just interest in the cause of the Greeks
which is every where felt, begins now to display itself in action,
I have exerted myself to obtain accurate knowledge of the most
recent state of affairs in Greece, that we may be the better able
to know in what manner our determination to assist them can
be best executed. In doing this, I must necessarily report
many things already before the public.
The maritime power of the Greeks, which has astonished Eu-
rope, is almost entirely the exclusive property of rich commer-
cial houses in the three small islands of Hydra, Spezia, and
Psara, when the spirit of enterprise of the Greek merchants,
which has developed itself under the protection of a freedom,
preserved with difficulty by great prudence and great finesse, is
now concentrated. The house of Konturioty, in Hydra, the
head of which possesses a property of eight millions of Spanish
dollars, and has 30 armed ships in the Greek fleet, is the most
distinguished for wealth and enlarged views. Other houses in
proportion to their means have furnished five ships, or two, or
one ; many of more limited means have clubbed together to fur-
nish one to the fleet. The fleet of the Athenians used to be
ksupplied by the rich families, and in the renewal of the same
spectacle in our times, we hare not the only proof of the tena-
ciousness with which the Greeks adhere to their ancient cus-
toms. The strength of the navy maintained by this Grecian
Hansa cannot be accurately stated, but they have about 150
ships, mounting from 15 to 35 guns, about the same number
mounting from five to 15 guns, and above 500 mounting only a
f,:.w gnus, The 150 Luger vessels with a corresponding num.
