et I elet yet write nothing as to the period-et' my re-'

terminated; but I think I can pledge myself, that
the Mersa, when I shall have the right of citizenship,

BAYONNE, JULY 4.--(Private Letter.)
4, The news which I transmitted 'to you by the last
courier, and which were given me by my•.agent of
Saint Jean Pied-de-Port, were exaggerated. It was
ft the 3d current, at nightfall, that a serious affair
took place between Lopez Banos and Quesada. The
latter avows that a panic fear seized his corps,, cons-
posed of 1,500 men ; that that terror was such that
he remained alone with from 250 to 300 men; that
night alone saved him, his enemy being unable to
profit by the disorder among the emigrants. He
avows also that he had 12 killed, and seven wounded.
The enemy lost only five men, of whom two were
killed. Finally, he occupies the same positions, rein-
forcing himself by the unconstitutionals who came
to him from Biscay, Alava, and Guipuscoa. We
SRC these pass by in twenties and thirties at a time;
they disembark in boats at the port of Socoa, where,
after four or fived.sys quarantine, they receive routes•
it is the directors of the Army of the Faith, who are
still in our town, who deliver these routes.
• «On the other hand, Lopez Banos is reinforced by
troops from Castile, among others by the cavalry
regiment Bourbon, and two battalions of active mi-
litia, who have entered Navarre by Lograno.—
CM the first serious affair, which will be soon, the
Army, of the Faith will be lost. This moment, while
puttiag my letter in the post, I am assured, that after
a bloody affair which took place towards the Valley
of Bastano, at Lans, Quesada has been killed, and
his army entirely destroyed. I believe this news pre-
mature; my first will instruct you as to the truth."
FRANKFORT, JULY 6.
(From the Spectateur Oriental.)
The English corvette the Medina arrived at Smyrna
on the 19th. Before quitting the island of Crete it
made a visit to the Greeks. Those of that isle pub-
lished some time ago a proclamation, by which they-
declared it in a state of blockade ; but the Powers
not having made any account of this proclamation,
and having continued to send ships to this interest-
ing point of Turkey, the Greeks took two Austrian
ships, an English ship, and a French one, which
wished to enter the Ganee, and conducted them to

St. Theodosius.
The Commandant of the Medina, summoned the
Greeks, watch in hand, to restore instant'y the Eng-
lish ship, as well as the papers, which the Greek Go-
vernor had appropriated. The latter, seeing the ur-
gency of the case, was obliged to repair on board the
corvette. He asked the Commander if he was ig-
norant of the proclamaticin which declared the island
of Crete in a state of blockade? He wished arm-
wards to enter into explanations, to justify this mca-
sure, demanded by circumstances ; but the English
Commandant answered sharply, that he did not send
for him to hear his reasons; that he cared nothing
for the declaration of blockade which he might have
made ; and that, if in half an hour the English vessel
and its papers were not restored, he was prepared to
sink all the Greek ships that he might find. It may
easily be conceived, that the English vessel was in-
stantly restored. Before parting, the English Com-
mandant conceived himself bound to give the Greek
Governor some charitable advice respecting the other
European vessels seized, informing him that he might
also naturally expect to receive a visit from the
French and Austrians.
The Catholics of Noxi, always in danger of being
massacred by the Greeks, and more afraid than ever,
kept themselves for some days carefully shut up in
their frail citadel, when they saw the corvette the
Medina appear. The English Commandant, having
informed himself of the state of things, of the con-
stantly increasing exasperation of the Greeks, threat-
ened the latter with razing their town if they offered
the slightest insult either to the European agents or to
the Latins. He demanded besides, before parting,
that the Primates should give guarantees for their
promises to respect hereafter all the Latin and Greek
Catholics.

On Saturday we noticed the debate in the Cortes
at Lisbon, on the Report of the Committee respecting
Brazil; we have since received Papers which bring
the proceedings one day later. The principal point
of discussion on the 28th ult. was the conduct of the
Prince Royal. Senor Mom z TAVAREZ vindicated
the Prince in a long speech. Senor RIBERIO D'AN-
DRADA took a comprehensive view of the whole pro-
ceedings, and concluded by proposing, " that his
Royal Highness should be informed that the Cortes
could not but censure the indiscreet and unsuit-
able expressions which he had addressed to them ;
and still more, the indecorous and violent terms
used by the Junta of Saint Paulo, the Bishop of
the same Province, the Vice-President of Minas
Geraes, and the Junta of Pernambuco; that for
this time they threw over the whole the veil of obli-
vion, and left it to his MAJESTY to act according to
his wisdom and discretion, if his Royal Highness and
the authorities under,him should become sensible how
much they had deviated from the true constitutional
,path ; and it should likewise be left to his MAJESTY'S
discretion, if those authorities should persist in their
forbidden course, to have thernproceeded against ac.
cording to the laws." Several other M.:tubers dcli-

M. Panama* Bovea disapproved of the recom.
meadation of the Committee to lrt the Prince remain
in Brazil till the publication of the additional Act or
the Constitution.

According to advices from Santa Fe de Bogeta, or
e 16th April, the Columbian Congress had pemed
a decree for continuing, ad interim, the payment of
tithes. A aegociation was to be opened with tip
Holy See for a concordat as to ecelesiastitral matters.
A friendly interview was appointed to take place be.
tureen Generals SA x MAars si and BouvA a, at Guys.
quil, to establish a mutual understanding on various
points involving the general interests of South A.
ries. SAN MARTIN had sulanoned a Constitutional
Assembly to meet at Lima on the Ist of May. Re
reserved to himself the right of appointing supple.
mentary Deputies for the three distt icts which were
still in the hands of the Royalists.

This forenoon we received a Hamburgh
bringing Papers to the 10th instant. Baron &moon-
NOFF, the Russian Ambassador to the Poite, has ob-
tained leave of absence, and will repair to It.tly.
Imperial Guards are retiring to St. Petersburgb, in
article from Stockholm says, great expectations are
entertained of the approaching Diet, and complains
44 of the depreciation of the value of the produce of
the soil, which has an injurious effect on the relations
of property-right and morals, and shat is styled
the 4 calamity of abundance P or over production, of
which we also feel the effects r

While they are thus impiously complaining of the
.4 calamity of abundance" at Stockholm, an article
from Abo, in Finland, laments the scat city that pre.
wails at Ostenbotten as extremely distressing. But
we need not go to Sxeden for such a contrast, as we
have it much nearer home, in Irish famine and Eng.
lish superabundance.

The Canton of Schaffhausen has now acceded to
the prohibitory measures adopted by somP of tle
Swiss Cantons. Zutich seems as little inclined as

Basil to adopt thee measures, though Berne has
done so. A. Zurich Journal say% that the great Coun-
cil, during its Summer Session from the 17th to 21st
June, discussed among other matters the commercial
relations with foreign countries, which were dis•
cussed with perfect impartiality and in conformity
with the experience of centuries, and the peculiar

situation of the Swiss Cantons, and not with a view

to passing events, or measures the imitation of
which, though it would be called reprisal, would
have injurious consequences, and make bad worse.—
