which he considers would be dc :,l'ading and rui'

Otis to his Empire.

The rebellion in Spain, notwithstanding the
previous accounts, is by no means suppressed.
The Rebels, under SAPERES and CARAJAL,
have obtained some important advantages over
General MoNET, whose bead-quarters they at-
tacked on the 9th, and drove him from pois,t to
point back to Manresa. On the 11th, however,
having received reinforcements, General MoNET
was able to resume his former, position.

The price of the French Funds scarcely varied
on Monday, and left off five centimes higher
than on Saturday, but we are sorry to observe
that the Exchange declined, and is now lower
than it has been.for some years.,

We received, last night, Dutch Papers of the
"29th ult. They contain the proceedings of the
Chambers of the States General, at their first
meeting, which related principally to the Address
on the KING'S Speech. A message was subie-
quently received from his MAJESTY, with a copy
of the Concordat lately concluded with the Holy
See ; and a report from the Central Section on
the New Commercial Convention with Sweden,
which was approved.
These Papers also contain the following article
from Curacoa

CURACOA, AUG. 25.—" We learn, by the arrival of
vessels from Puerto Cabello, and La Guayra, that Spanish
privateers are cruising off La Guayia,viz. a corvette, called
La Fama, a brig, La Cometa, and two smaller vessels.
They have, it seems, made rich booty. The Colombian
brig, the Emilia Mathilda, from Hamburgh, with a cargo
worth 90,000 dollars, has been taken by them off Cape
Blanco. These vessels do not belong to the expected
Spanish expedition, or to a Spanish squadron in the West
Indies, but vessels fitted out by private persons, commis-
sioned at the Havannah. It is said that the two other
privateers, under Spanish colours, are cruising between St.
Thomas and Porto Rico.—Courant.

We have inserted in another column a long
article from the Oriental Spectator, on the
afl'airs of Turkey, dated-Smyrna, September 15.
Unlike former articles from the same source, the
present one argues in favour of the submission
of the PORTE to the terms proposed by the
Allied Powers ; and by comparing the former and
present state of Greece with that which it may
settle into, under the proposed system of Go-
vernment, proves that the latter Will be the most
advantageous to Turkey, and that the preserva-
tion. of peace will deliver the empire from a state
of disquiet and uncertainty ; deprive • the mal-
contents of all pretexts for commotion ; conso-
lidate the new institutions; permit the formation
of the new Army ; and, above all, put to silence
fbr ever, or at least for a long time to come,
the. but thinly disguised ambitious projects to
which the Greek tear must infallibly have pre-
sented sooner : or' later an opportunity of ful-
filment. The last argument thus used by the
writer of these articles, for the submission of the
PORTE, is the one which has
.made him change
his tone. Austria, under whose influence these
Smyrna political articles have been written, begins
to take alarm, and sees, as we of this country

have long done, that more apprehensions were
to be entertained from the advantages which
Russia would gain over Turkey in the, event of
war, than from any which that Power could de-
rive from the submission of the PORTE. In the
latter case every point will be settled by treaty
between all the Powers: but if once Russia
draws the sword against Turkey, neither the
Ottoman Armies, nor the remonstrances of all
the Powers of Europe, will stop her in the ful-
filment of her long cherished hopes and wishes.

By the Porter, Captain CALLAN, arrived at
Liverpool, from Kingston, Jamaica, letters have
been received of the 15th September, containing
the following intelligence, but which, however,
has not received any credit. The report cannot
be true, as letters have been received from St.
Thomas's, (only 24 hours' sail from Porto
Rico), of the 16th September, but they do not
mention► a word on the subject. It appears to
have arisen from several Spanish privateers cruising
in these seas, which had been magnified into 'nen-

of-war, &c.
By an arrival from Curacoa of a vessel belonging to this
port, we learn that several transports had arrived at Porto
Ric() from Spain, the forerunner of an expedition under
General Morales to invade Colombia. A line of battle
ship and a frigate were blockading Porto Cabello. They
are no doubt a part of Laborde's squadron, which had left
Key West some time ago. Should there really arrive an
expedition under so enterprising an officer as Morales, and
consisting of six or seven thousand men, with money to
carry on the war, there will be little doubt that in less than
six months, a great part of Colombia would again be sub-
jected to the power of Spain, for nothing but distress and
confusion reigns at that unhappy spot just now.

Since writing the above, Jamaica Papers to
the 16th of September have been received by
the same conveyance at the North and South
American Coffee-house, from which we make
the following extracts :
A friend from Curacoa via Aruba, informs us that a
military force of 12,000 men was daily expected at Porto
Rico, from Spain, under the command of General Morales,
to invade Colombia. Transports had arrived at Porto
Rico with sadlery, and the equipments for 2000 cavalry to
be raised in Colombia. Porto Cavello was blockaded by a
Spanish line of battle ship, two sloops, two brigs, and two
schooners of war ; one of the brigs had an engagement
with a Columbian privateer, which was taken.
His Majesty's brig Fairy, Captain Courtney, arrived
here yesterday (the 13th). A notice has been issued, by
order of the Vice Admiral, that she would sail for Nassau,'
touching at St. Domingo, on the following Sunday morning.
His Majesty's ship Valorous, which sailed on Thursday
morning, had on board C. M'Kenzie, Esq. Consul-General
for Hayti, and his Secretary, Mr. M'Kenzie, on their way
to Europe, and would proceed to the Havannah and New
York. We are informed that the tonnage duty on Arne-
I rican and British vessels is exacted on the same footing in
