In pursuance of our promise, made at the request of
several- Cot respondents, we have commenced re-punting
the Letters of VINDLX, on the subject of West India
Slavery. The first Letter will be found in our four.h
page, and the secund Letter will appear to-morrow.

Brazil, in her inteicourse with foreign nations, is still
governed, as must be expected, by laws made under the
late Government. By the 19th paragraph of a law en-
Octed on the 80th May, 1820, it was ordered that no
foreign vessel should be enteted at the Custom /louse
without presenting her passport, and a manifest of her
cargo, certified by the Consul or Vice-Consul of the na-
tion residing at the port where she may have cleared.
From the moment the country declared its independ-
ence, the certificates of the Portuguese Consuls were
disregarded ; but as Vice-Consuls are shortly to be ap-
pbinted, it will be necessary to conform to the former
regulations. Foreign vessels punt deliver the follow.
ing documents:—" The Bill of Health"—'f. The Maui.
fest of Cargo"—" Every Bill of Invoice"—and " The
passports of passengers.".

of Egypt is by no means sincere in assisting the Otto-

Egypt will follow the example of Greece, and shake off
the Ottoman yoke. The following are extracts:

ZURICH, OCTOBER 5.
On the Ist, the whole sky being covered, and the
heat very oppressive, we perceived that a violent foehin
(a wind that has some resembladce to the sirocco) pre-
vailed in the Upper Mps. In fact, it blew with such
violence in the Canton of Glarus that, in the forenoon,
the inhabitants did not venture to light any fire, even
for culinary purposes. In Schannis, where the same
wind blew with great fury, they were not so prudent :
to one of the uppermost houses, where they were wash-
ing linen, the wind caught the fii e, and in a few minutes
burnt the whole of the wooden building, and in less

than half an hour ten others were in flames. All
assistance was vain, and the remaining part of the
hamlet was saved only by being at a considerable dis-
tance. Two dwelling-hou.es, eighteen barns and stables,.
and almost ever) thing they contained were destroyed.,
—The old church was likewise burn 4 and a. man was,
killed by the falling of one of the walls. The situation
of the people is the more deplorable, as the greater
part of their crops of corn was destroyed by hail ; and
now all the sinter fodder for• the cattle is destroyed.

frontiers of Turkey.

The French Papers of Sunday have reached us, but
they contain little intelligence of interest. The war
against M. deVILLeLe is actively prosecuted in several of
the papers, and it appears to us with great ill-nature and
inconsistency. He is even blamed for not tranquillizing.
Spain ; as well'tnight he be expected to work miracles;
besides, the Spanish war was rather the work of M. de
CHATRAVBRIAND than M. de VILMA, and if it has not
produced the results anticipated, the latter Minister-
ought not to bear the whole blame.
One of theFrenchPapers states that Lord STRANGFORD
will not leave Constantinople until- after the entire con-
clusion of the negociations between England, Russia .
and Austria, on the affairs of Greece. Were this the:

case, his Lordship may make up his mind for a longer
residence in Turkey than he is at present prepared for.
The Emile of Sunday copies from the Augsbwrg G.-
zette of the 11th, a letter from Trieste, in which we find
the following statement :

" Accoeding to accounts from Corfu, of September 20, which*
it is true, require confirmation, the Egyptian fleet has been attacked
by Admiral bliatills, at Zea, where it was endeavoured to effect a
landing, destined against Athens. The Greeks burnt three of the
enemy's frigates, as well as some smaller vessels, and captured be.
sides eighty transports. The remainder dispersed. It is repoited
that Ibrahim Pacha, son of the Viceroy of Egypt, was on board
one of the frigates that were blown up."

The same news has been received at &rite with some
modifications. It is, however, desirable to wait for
more precise information.

A Decree of the King`of SPAM just published in
Catalonia, orders the Universities of the kingdom to be
closed till a general plan of public instruction, which a
Special Committee has been ordered to draw up and lay
before him, shall have received his approbation.

A Leeward Island Mail arrived this morning, with
Papas of the 12th of September. They contain Bulb
intelligence from South America. The expedition from
Porte Cavello, consisting of 3,500 men, had sailed to
reinforce BOLIVAR. The Si. Kitt': Advertiser, of tbe
7th of September, and 7'rissided Gazdtes, to "the Ist of
that month, have reached us.

One of the latter contains the following :—An im-
portant communication from the Earl of BATHURST to
his Excellency the Captain-General was laid before
the two Houses of Legislature, on the Friday evening,l
in refinance to the slate population, and containing
SOUI2 recommendations, founded on the Trinidad Order

Noble Earl's dispatch likewise notifies the appointment
of the Colonial 'Bishops. No discussion took place in
the House of Assembly on the subject, a Bill, as we
understand, being already in a coarse of preparation for
the accomplishment of every probable measure of im-
provement. And it now remains a question of the
deepest interest for legislative determination, how far
the views of his Majestyleroeernment may be reconciled
with the peculiar local circumstances of the country ?
In General Nicolag'i-speech to the Council and As.

LA PEROUA —The following is an extract of a letter
from Van Diemen's Land, attdiessed by Mr. TIMAIAS
Scorr, deputy surveyor, Van Diemeu's Land, to Mr.
JAMLB Dtxnt, Leith, and dated Ist of Mai ch, 1824 :
N On a small .iskod near to Moreton Bay, by the expedition
that went to view that large river lately discovered in New Hol-
land, the wreck of a large vessel, supposed to have been lost thirty
years ago, was discovered oh the Island. There is scarcely a
doubt but this- is the Astrolabe,' M. de la Perouse, who sailed
from Botany Bay to the north, when the colony was first esta-
blished; and -basgot since been heard of."
Early on the morning of Tuestay last, five of the
prisoners in Stirling jail effected their escape by breaking
through, the walls of, their cells. The scheme seems
first to have been planned by two young fellows who
were confined in a. room together. It would appear
they first wrenched off 'the upper bar -of their grate,
with the assistance of which they were enabled to make
a passage in the wall behind the fire-place, and by that
means got into the adjoining cell, where the other three
prisoners were confined. Here, however, they must
have had a most Jaborieus task to overcome—as the
wall was three leet thick, and they had no instrument
to assist them except the truing one mentioned. On
getting through the wall, they got' hold of an immense
iron bar, used for chaining condemned criminals, with
which they wrenched the strong bars. which secure the
outer windows, and from whence they descended to the
street, by means of-a rope formed of their. blankets.
Remelt, Ocr. 13.-Itedcar during the early part of this week
was visited by one of the moat tremendous storms ever know%
Metre. On Sunday the wind blew very hard, and continued all
Monday. In the evening, an express was sent from Lord Dun-
das, for the life-boat, as a vessel off Marsh gave signals of distress.
The following morning about 90 ship came on shore ; the life-
boat was dragged to the Tee's Mouth, awl immediately launched
to the ship, called the Friends, of Loodon (but it is feared all
on board perished,) as the crew were seen clinging to the riggiog,
which broke away from the ship. The men who had the com-
mand of the life-boat made a desperate attempt to reach the
Neptune, commanded by Certain Jameson, which had struck on
the most dangerous part of the coast, called.the South Knowle.
The crew, fourteen-le number, were saved, and immediately after
the ship drifted down the Tees, a complete wreck : a fine boy, of
the name of Chambers, only fourteen years of age, Was saved
from a watery grave by the gallantry of one of his brother sailors.
A smaller vessel was seen to go down with all hands on board.
