but it is argued by the article we are quoting,
from the following circumstance, that the heroic
determination of the Porte was strangely shaken
on the next day. Two Russian vessels of war
appeared in the port of Constantinople, after
having escaped the vigilance of the Castle of
Fanaraky. They came from Odessa, wore a
merchant flag, and did not exceed the dimensions
prescribed to allow them to enter the Channel,
neither did the crew wear military uniform, but
it was nevertheless perceived that they were
vessels of war. The Porte immediately sent
for M. de RIBEAUPIERRE to enquire the
cause of their arrival. M. de RIBEAUPIERRE
replied that the vessels need cause no fears
to the Porte, that they did not even carry the
Imperial Flag, and that the Porte, there-
fore, had not the right to send them array

that if a greater number of vessels of
war appeared before Constantinople,
it was the
Porte alone which would have brought them, by
its haughtiness and threats against himself, his
family, and Russian subjects. The Porte ap-
peared greatly astonished at this answer, and the
Grand Seignior directed that the subject should
be dropped. It is added that English and French
vessels were also expected for the embarkation
of the families of the Ambassadors.

The object of the two vessels of war, which ap-
pear to have carried twenty-four guns each, was,
without doubt, for the protection and convey-
ance of the Russian Ambassador and subjects
at Constantinople, in case of necessity ; and an
article of the 26th, from Constantinople, states
that several vessels of war from Odessa were at
anchor, ready to accompany the family of M. de
RIB EA UPI ERRE. Notwithstanding this cir-
cumstaixe, however, it is said that the inquietude
of the Franks, respecting the departure of the
Foreign Ambassadors, was a little diminished,
for it is added, " the SULTAN, who looks upon
the intervention with great indignation, had pro••

posed to the Divan a plan whereby the establish-
ment of peace in Greece is to be granted as a
boon to its inhabitants."

An article from Trieste, under date of the
12th of October, states that according to letters
from Corfu, the Egyptian fleet had quitted Na-
varino
before the 28th September, in conse-
quence of a convention made between Sir EDw.
CODRINGTON and IBRAHIM PACHA ; but we
have strong reasons for doubting the latter part
of this intelligence.
The news from Spain still contains accounts
of conflicts with the Rebels. A spirit of des-
peration seems to have influenced many parties
of the Insurrectionists ; and we find that instances
have occurred in which the prisoners on both
sides have been shot. It is said that the King
of SPAIN will not return to Madrid till March

or April next.

The Papers from New Orleans of the 25th of
August, state the number of yellow fever cases
had rather diminished than increased, and that
they are not of a violent nature. By subsequent
accounts we are happy to state the symptoms
of this dreadful malady have entirely subsided.

We received last night Boston and New York
Papers up to the 29th Sept. and 2d inst., re-
spectively. They contain nothing important.

The following are extracts :
" By letters from Caraccas the Editor of the Baltimore
Gazette has received from his correspondent, it appears
that General Paez has sent away the Editor of the Golebri,
who had become offensive to him by his writings. Pate
assumes authority as supreme Chief of Venezuela, during the
absence of Bolivar, who had gone to Bogota, and was de-
termined to preserve every thing in the order in which it
was left by the Liberator.
" By a gentleman just from Boddy's island, North Caro-
lina, we learn that the packet ship Louisa Matilda went
entirely to pieces in about twenty hours after she struck;
that during this time the sea broke constantly into her,
destroying a large portion of the packages ; and as the
goods washed out of her, they were drifted, in pieces, about
60 miles along the coast, in a very mutilated state."
(From the Commercial Advertiser.)
A letter has been received in Philadelphia from an officer
of the United States' ship Hornet, part of which, relating
to an occurrence not yet publicly known, lie wishes to
have inserted in one of our papers, with a view to prevent
any false or exaggerated accounts going before the public.
A more full and ample official statement may shortly be
expected, as the whole affair is to be transmitted to Wash-
ington. _ _ _

-4' To understand the case fully, it must be recollected,
that a few months since the British ship James Mitchell,
which had been wrecked on the Padre del Cruz, was got
off by the Hornet and John Adams, and taken into Key
West ; that the officers and crews of the two vessels claim-
cry one,
uagbsences the occur-
left the Hornet, wuisttliknl:liud.shheirpemtahne
ed salvage, and that their libel, to the surprise of every
was dismissed with costs, &c. The officer alluded to, as
agent for the claimants,
Hunt, and a few sailors, to superintend the affair, and went
sceovuerratlstaitm: esitfrwoams
(KlueryinNaVeosnte toof St.ete these
rence took place. It appears from his statement, that—
" The Captain of the James Mitchell is a confirmed
drunkard, a most ignorant man, and very quarrelsome and
abtrive when in liquor. Midshipman Hunt had a quarrel
with hint during my absence the first time, in consequence
of the abusive language used towards him by the Capt. (J.
Robinson). On my arrival here (Key West), he p„dily
became intoxicated, and after abusing me, and making
use cf such language as is not proper or decent to repeat,
lie attacked the men, and after calling them Yankee pirates,
&c., he presented a loaded pistol to the breast of a boat-
swain's mate of mine, and threatened to brow his brains
out. My man, unfortunately, was as intoxicated as the
Captain, and having a pistol in his pocket, loaded, but not
primed, he managed to get away until he primed, when lie
shot him in both legs, and the Captain now lies dangerously
if not mortally wounded. This took place at half-past 10 at
night. I was asleep at my lodgings, and the boatswain's mate
was on shore contrary to my orders, which were explicit
to all, never to remain on shore after sun-down. I was
called immediately, had him put in double irons, and con-
veyed on board the Revenue cutter, where he awaits his
trial for attempt to murder, as soon as I can see Captain
Claxton, or Commodore Ridgley, neither of whom are here.
I ant at present the commanding officer of the navy on the
Island.'
44 The Officer further states, that the inhabitants have
given 'elm letters confirming the aloove, &c. Key West
was very healthy when he wrote (September 2.. The
John Adams was daily expected, to carry them all to Pen-
sacola, and the Hornet was at the latter place. C."
