CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPTEMBER It.

The following Note was presented by Lord Strang-
ford, the English Ambassador, to the Sublime Poi te,
on the 27th of August
The English Ambassador mast do himself the honour of
calling the attention of the Sublime Porte to a subject Which is
of the greatest importance to the interests of the British imirthants.

" The Ambassador hu already, on different occasions, pre-'
sensed reclamations to the Reis Effendi, on the subject of the
debts which the English have to recover from the property of
Greeks who took to flight at the beginning of the rebellion.
"Toe departmentvf Defterdariet, to which this affair has been
remitted, has always replied, that it could be decided only ac-
cording to the Mahomedan laws, and that these laws, always
wise and just, did not permit the Sublime Porte to dispose of the
property of his Greek subjects, unless the proprietors were pre-
sent, or properly represented by Attornles.

. . .
" But ft is of public notoriety, that the greater part of these
Greeks have been induced to fly from their country by the fear
and alarm which like efferveseence of the public mind had spread
fo,generally in the first 'moment* of the revolt, when the distinc-
tion between the innocent and the guilty was not well established,
and when all the-Greek* without exception, appeared criminal
in the eyes of an exasperated populace. .
_

" It is equally notorious that the. greeks, of whom timidity
was the sole crime (and whom the Anthassador does not con-
found with traitors who have taken flight to escape punishment),_
have taken refuge prinaipally in foreign countries, that they only
sigh for the moment when they may again return to their homes,
and that only the fear sad uncertainty of the reception they may
meet with, still compel them to remain under the dominion. of
another Power. .

" To dissipate these apprehensions, to enable the victims of a
very natural suspicion to return into their native country, to put
at length the British subjects in a condition to recover their debts,
by personally prosecuting their debtors before the competent tri-
bunals, a word of the Sublime Porte will suffice, and I wish it
may be pronounced. We shall then see return to the bosom of
their country the unfortunate men whom the force of circum-
stances alone hid obliged momentarily to remove from it. The
Government will resume its rights over a cmliderahle part of its
own subjects, and those of the Ring of Great Britain will no
longer have to suffer the fatal consequences which result to their
interests from the prolonged absence of their debtors.
" The mass of the claims amounts to so considerable a sum,'
and the necessity of satisfying them has become so urgent, that
the Ambassador would fail In his duty if he did not request the
Sublime Porte to adopt the only means which, in the present state
of things, can obtain for the English creditors the justice which
they have so long and so vainly solicited, by making publicly
known what are the intentions of the Government with regard
to the debtors, and giving them the formal assurance that', with-
out any personal risk, they may return to their native country,
and appear before the competent tribunals, so that justice may
be done to their creditors.—The Ambassador, in recommending
this.proposal to the acknowledged wisdom and equity of the
Sublime Porte, seism this occasion, Etc. &c.

This forenoon we received intelligence from Bayonne
to the 18th instant. The defeat and total dispersion
of the Army of the Faith is said to be fully con-
firmed.. This event is thus announced :—" We hare
now received authentic and detailed letters from St.
Jean de Pied de Port, &e. which confirm the total
dispersion of the Army of the Faith ; the greater pars
of the troops having returned to their homes, while
the others seek an asylum in the French territory,
At St. Jean de Pied de Port, Lecomberry, and the
environs, there were, on the 14th, above 600 soldiers
of the Faith., and the Mayors had applied to the su-
perior Authorities for instructions respecting the
manner of disposing of these unfortunate people."

These accounts contain numerous details of the
movements of small bodies of insurgents, and of the
circumstances stated in the Paris Journals. Colonel
CABRA is said to have arrived at Bayonne, with se-
veral Officers of the Army of the Faith. It would
appear that there is .no probability of the remains of
this rebel army rallying, except in France, and it is
doubted whether that will be permitted.
The accounts from Madrid are not so late as those
we have received through the French Papers. The
following are extracts:

BAYONNE, OCTOBER 17•
Such contradictory reports are spread concerning
the operations of Mina, that it is impossible-to form
a satisfactory opinion ; on the one hand the accounts
published in the Journals are not implicitly credited,
and on the other bulletins are distributed with pro-
fusion, containing exaggerated statements of alleged
victories gained by the Royalists, and other news of
an alarming tendency. One of these bulletins an-
nounces the meeting of the Congress at Venom. enil
says that 9001000 men frill won enter the provinces
