Jut as our Paper was going to press, we received the
Monileur of Tuesday and the Bode of yesterday, by
Express. The Itioniteur, in its official part, contains
two Ordonnances; the first rclates to convoking the
Electoral Colleges of the Arrondissements of the Gard,
and Seine and Oise, for the choice of Deputies in lieu
of two who arc dead ; and the second regulates the
Revenues cf the Institution for Military Invalids.—

The Prince MATasiabiN of Saxony arrived at the
Escurial on the 4th inst. accompanied by his daughter,
the Prineess AMELIA. They were received with the
honours due to their rank. The King of SPAIN has
quite recovered from the gout. The evacuation of the
Capital by the French troops had commenced, and all
was quiet.
Accounu from Irun, of the 6th inst. state, that. the
*usage of couriers through that city was very frequent.
The french army will not concentrate on the Ebro,
as was stated, but cross the Bidassoa and return to

CONSTANTINOPLE, NOVEMBER is (oel't)BEß 3o).
It does not appear that Ghalib Pacha is entirely
disgraced : his harem went out, I few days since,
from Constantinople, in great pomp, to join him. It is
said that the offer made to Ibrahim Pacha to be
Admiral, has been refused by bim. The Greeks have
made a descent at Tchesme, and have pillaged the
country in its environs.
Nov. 1.--. Several Captains arrived lately from the
Archipelago report, that en the 27th of October the,
Greek fleet attacked that of the Turks. between Scio
and Mitylene. It is said that the combat lasted till
Thursday (the 28th), at noon. The loss of the
Greeks is not known. The Turks had a frigate and
two brigs burnt ; another frigate was pursued by
four tire-ships, and the moment they were going to set
it on ire, the frigate ran on the coast of Tchesme,
where the crew burnt it. The Turkish vessels took
refuge in the port of Mitylene. A division of the
Mussulmans was separated, and threw themselves in
the Gulf of Smyrna, but the Greeks, who followed
them could not 'get to them. This requires confirma-
tion. Letters from Smyrna do lot make mention of it,
Dac..2.—A Greek vessel coming from Mitylene, con-
firming this new disaster of the Ottoman fleet, arrived
yesterday. The Greeks have made a descent at Troia
and have pillaged that island.
Further details of the horrible disasters at St. Peter:-
burgh have been received. A whole regiment of Carabi-
neers were lost, men and horses, a ship of 100 guns, at
Cronstadt, entirely disappeared ; the stocks were car,
ried away.

This forenoon we receive e; York Papers to the
21st ult. One of them contains an official dispatch
from the Secretary of BOLIVAR in Peru, anacuncing kis
successes. The dispatch is dated Manta, or Guanta'
the 27th of August, and states, that after the battle of
Junin, on the 6th of that month, the Spanish army had
continued to retreat so rapidly that they could not
come up with them. The Spanish troops are repre-
anted as broken and dispirited, and reduced to 3,000
in number. Desertion to the Intlependent standard was
daily taking place, and arms and ammunition falling
into the bands of the pursuing army. Bora:van de-
clares his confidence in being able to liberate Peru in
the course of the year. The defection of OLANZTA. is
again stated. BOLIVAR was to enter Huanta on the
28th of August. The following are extracts:

At a late hour we received Papers from the Isthmus
of Panama to the 10th ult. inclusive. We translate a
dispatch from Bolivar's head-quarters, which speaks
with great confidence of effecting the liberation of
Peru this year.

SlR—After the events of the 6th, at Junin, the
enemy continued to retreat, and at the present time
they have lost six provinces, and more than half their
forces ; so that, according to all accounts received by his
Excellency, the enemy's army is reduced to 2,500 or
3,000 men, broken and dispirited. As our advar.ced
corps approach the enemy, they retreat ; so that it,
is impossible to follow with the precipitancy with
which they fly. We have already taken large
quantities of military stores, and hope hereafter to
take more. The liberating army is daily aug-
mented by deserters from the enemy. The Viceroy
has formed a junction with Canterac in Annahuylas,
having only his guard of halberdiers. General Valdez
is nearer to Potosi, observing, with 2,C00 or 3,000 men,
General Olaneta, who is in Tupiza, with 4,000. By
the proclamation of the former, we have recent infor-
mation that General Olaneta has declared for the cause
of independence, and that be is operating in conjunc-I
tion with the Patriots of Salta. One of our corps,
marching from Huancavchia to Huamango, took 472
new English muskets, and a considerable quantity of
ammunition, coming from Ica. Our vanguard en.
tered Huamango five days ago, and some of its corps'
are observing and pursuing the enemy closely. To-
morrow his Excellency will be in this city., By various
Officers of the enemy's army, who have passed here,
important details have been ascertained respecting the
situation of the enemy. Confiding in these reports, his
Excellency has taken measures to destroy them at one
blow. His Excellency desires me to assure you, that
whatever may be the final combination of the Spanish
Chiefs, whatever their hopes, the liberty of Peru shall be
completed this year, and irrevocably confirmed by the
Liberating Army. I have particular pleasure in assuring

Or, that everywhere his &tellerley is received with
demonstrations expressive of gratitude and joy.. His
Excellency prays you to have this communication
circulated among the Authorities of the country.
(Sped) TOIRES DE MIRES, Secretary."
We learn drat the Trimmer has brought advices from
Lima, as late as the 16th September. A letter states
that a Spanish line of battle ship (probably the Asia)
and a sloop of war bad arrived at Callao, and raised the
blockade. On the 10th October, fifteen large trans-
ports were at Panama, taking on board the 4,000
troops from Colombia, going to reinforce BOLIVAR. A
letter from Carthagena states that the accounts from
BOLIVAR Ire most encouraging.

This forenoon we receive Frankfort and other Ger-
man Papers to the 10th inst. The King of Swarm,
has appointed Swedish and Norwegian Commissioners
to settle the cotnmercial affairs of the two kingdoms
The storm of the 18th, which was so fatal to St. Peters-
burgh and in Germany, was also felt in Norway. The
Age:wine Zeitung of the Bth inst. notices the cataract
entered into by an English Company to light Berlin
with gas. Formerly that city only enjoyed the benefit
of lamps until midnight, and not even then on the
nights that the Alinanacks stated the moon would
shins. The gas is not to be 'conveyed in pipes, but
each lamp is to have a reservoir filled with gas every
morning, on the plan, we presume, of Mr. Gomm's
portable gas. The German Journalist attributei the
superiority of England to the circumstance that all
national interests are publicly discussed. The following
are extracts :

BERLIN, NOVEMBER 29.
During the late visit of Sir W. Convey; to this city,
he concluded an agreement between our Magistrates
and an English Company, for lighting this city with
gas. The Magistrates will not pay more than they
have hitherto done for lighting with oil. The begin-
ning is to be made with the Linden Allee (Lime tree-
walk) and King-street. But the gas is not to be con-
veyed to the Limps by pipes, as it is in London and
.Paris, but each lamp will have a separate reservoir, that
is to be filled daily. The intention of this is to prevent,
the inconvenience which an, entire quarter of the city
might experience, if the workmen should happen to
neglect making a sufficient quantity of gas. The
inhabitants of Berlin can only gain this by the change,
that, though the streets have hitherto been tolerably
well lighted, yet the lamps burnt only till midnight,
and they were, besides, never lighted, when, accord-
ing to the Almanack, the moon ought to shine.—
Whether the "worthy English General is to profit by the
moonshine is not at present known. If every friend of
his country has reason to rejoice that we have none of
that class of lovers of darkness, who have in other places
opposed so many obstacles to this new invention, yet the
introduction of it by an English Company gives rise to
very different thoughts. The annual profit will find
its way to that fortunate island, and add to the great
mass of German wealth, which, during the last ten
years, the Britons, with practical financial penetration,
have contrived to draw into their hands. Closed
against the greater part of the produce and manufac-
tures of Germany,Great Britain (unless serious measures
are adopted) will constantly govern Germany by its
gold, and will possess itself of the ss hole of our pecuniary
wealth ; an art which it owes entirely to the circumstance,
That all national interests are pubti,ly
On the other hand, it may be asked how long a period
will elapse before Generals of Artillery in Germany
will place themselves at the head of such an enterprise?
CHItISTIANA, NOVEMBER F 3.

On the 18th of this month, at seven o'clock in the
evening, the waters of the Fiord rose to the unheard-of
height of three ells above the usual level. In the lower
part of the city, as well as in the suburbs of Waterland
and Furdingen, the water not only overflowed the cel-
lars, but the streets and lower stories. The lower part
of the warehouses and the quays were completely inun-
dated. A great deal of cattle perished. The loss in
merchandize, such as sugar, coffee, salt, and tobacco, is
immense. The sea then fell suddenly much below its
ordinary level. The next day it again rose to such a
height, that we feared another inundation.

The Cabinet Ministers againassembled at two o'clock
yesterday afternoon, at the Secretary of State; Office for Foreign
Affairs. All the abinet Ministers in town were present. The
Cabinet broke up shortly before five o'clock.
