MAYENCE, SEPTEMBER 7.

In the last sitting of the Central Committee for the
navigation of the Rhine, it is said that the Members
gave their votes on the first paragraph of the definitive
regulations which treat of free navigation ; that Prussia,
Bavaria, and Hesse declared, that by the liberty given
by the Congress of Vienna, the unobstructed -naviga-
tion into the open sea was to be understood. Baden
and NASSAU are said to have declared for France and
Holland. The question of the free navigation will shortly
be decided by a higher tribunal, and thus, after nine
years' fruitless deliberation, the chief obstacle be re-
moveJ, which has hitherto impeded the proceedings of
the Central Committee.

The stagnation in the negociations at Stutgard is also
ascribed to the influence of France and Holland, which
endeavour to render a union abortive, which would be
very detrimental to their commercial interests.

This forenoon we received Frankfort Papers to the
15th instant. One of them contains an article from
the Trieste Observer, cautioning the public against the
Greek news dated from that place, in the foreign
Joutnals, as it has long been notorious that there is a
manufactory of news at Trieste ; but it must be owned,
that it has greatly declined since the establishment of
that at Zante s this latter takes a much bolder flight—,

with rare assurance it puts into circulation the most
ratlsehoods."
With this caution' we subjoin the following extract
from the Allgenseine Zeitung, without pledging ourselves
that it is not from the very manufaCtory thus denounced :
TRIESTE, SEPTEMBER s.
Letters from Corfu of 21st August, confirm the
defeat, of which we have already spoken, of the army
of the Seraskier Redschid Nebo, on its retreat after
the unsuccessful attack on Missolonghi. It was on the
7th of August that Goura, with three Greek Captains,
hastening from Salona, attacked at Carvassara, the real
of the Turks in their retreat, and captured a considerable
quantity of artillery. Since then Redschid has re-
mained at Carvassara, where he is assembling fresh
troops. Our Gazette mentions this affair in the fol-
lowing terms : " According to accounts given by Cap-
tains of ships, a few days after the fruitless attack on
Missolonghi, a corps of three thousand Greeks under
Goura, appeared, coming from Salona, and, together
with part of the garrison, attacked the Turkish camp ;
he succeeded in throwing the besiegers into confusion,
and in spiking some of their cannon and mortars.

The Frankfort Papers received this forenoon contra-
dict the report that the Hanoverian Government had
let a part of the mines of the Hartz to an English
Mining Company. It is however true, that a Company
which has been formed in England for mining spccu•
lations, is to be permitted to sink a shaft in a part of
the Hartz where no mine has yet been opened, in order
to see whether, at a depth not yet sounded, there is any
ore which is worth the trouble of working. This Com-
pany has not yet declared its intentions in this respect,
but should it make the essay and the result prove fa-
vourable, a new source of industry would be opened to
the inhabitants of the Hartz, who retain, besides, the
working of the present mines.

Letters from Sierra Leone to the 27th July have
been received. They do not contain any important intelligence
The packet did not sail until the 29th, two days later than the let-
ters were dated. His Excellency Major-General C. Titania, C.B.
had issued two Proclamations, dated the 11th June, 1825.—The
first permits the following articles to be imported, in British or
Foreign bottoms, into the ports of Sierra Leone and the Gold
Coast, from the above date until the 16th of June, 1826, vie-
horses, mules, asses, and live stock of all kinds, lumber, grain of
every kind ; roots, vegetables, plants, and seeds of any kind. The
second allows, after the 24th of October, next, until the 24th of
October, ISM the importation of certain articles hereinafter men-
tioned into the port of Bathurst, river Gambia, viz. horses, mules,
asses, and live stock of any kind; tobacco; grain of any sort (rice
excepted) ; roots, vegetables, plants, and seeds of any sort ; lumber.
Advices from Cape Coast and Accra state the garrisons there to
be generally healthy. The country is perfectly tranquil, and has
every appearance of continuing so. The squadron was preparing
for a cruise.

On the '2d of July, 200 men of the Royal African Colonial
Corps were landed from the transports in the harbour at Sierra
Leone, and marched from the wharf, with the Regimental Band,
to the New Barracks on the Tower Hill. Some new arrangements
were making in the police duty of this Colony, highly beneficial
towards the promotion of good order and the due administ ration
of justice.
