ODESSA, SEPTEMBER 16.

Our accounts from Constantinople come down to the
The internal state of Greece was represented to be
still extremely dangerous and embarrassed. One party
tries to supplant the other. The events at Misolooglit
had, however, given tryne courage to the independent
party, especially as the insurrection in CAndia was con-
sidered as an important diversion. An expediti3n of
:.ixteen hundred men had sailed from Hydra, to sup-
fort the Candiotes.

Mexican Gazettes to the 25th of July have been re
ctived. They contain a long and interesting article
by Dr. MrEn, on the encyclitic letter published by
Pope Leo XIE. on his obtaining the triple crown, and
smuggled into Mexico without the permission of the
Government. The letter, which is very popular in
Mexico, and has been copied into the Government
Gazette, calls in question the Papal supremacy, sue.
nuously contending against the temporal power of the
Court of Rome, and those haughty pretensions by
which it formerly dispoied of kingdoms and deposed
Kings. The Doctor shews, by a reference to the ex-
ample of the Catholic States of Europe, that no Pope's
writ can lawfully be promulgated in Mexico, uales,
subscribed by the Pre:ident of the Union ; and he offer
better reasons for a jealousy of Papal interference in
the case of the new States of America than exist on
. ,
thik 'side of the Atlantic. We have seen that, during
'lire 'existence of the late Constitutional Government
Of Spain, the Pots refused to receive an Ambassador
from Ms Catholic Majesty because he was rot free
Holirets thus took the part of the captive FERDI•
NAND against the Cortes, who limited his puss er ; and
being still, as the sworn aUy of the restored Mortara,
opposed to the spirit of reform, he is. considered as a
dangerous intruder into the concerns of a Republic
which was lately a Spanish colony. On this foundation
Dr. ,NITER elevates the banner of alarm, and calls upon
his countrymen to resist ecclesiastical pretensions which
may lead to political re-subjection. One Pope gave the
' rew world to Spain before its extent was observed.
Another may endeavour, through the influence of the
F. rusts, to restore to his Catholic MAJESTY that portion
of the gift which he one possessed, but could not retain.
Troops were at first sent-to pave the way for Mission-
sties—Missionaries may now be employed to open a
passage for armies. After this expression of alarm, the
Drictor proceeds to discuss the rights of Lao XII. and
the character of FERDINAND. The Pope claiming only
to be the Vicar of Jesus CHRIST, and CHRIST having
said that. his kingdom was not of this world, neither can
that of the Vicar be worldly. How, then, can be inter-
fere for FERDINAND, who is described as " a political
as well as moral monster ?" The Mexicans, he con-
tends, have always been good Catholics, though they
have resolved no longer to be slaves. They have de-
creed that the State permits the exercise of no other re-
ligion but the holy Roman Catholic Apostolic religion;
and a Minister was about to set sail for Rome, to con-
clude a concordat with the Vatican on terms consistent
with national independence. If his Holiness refuse to
receive the Mexican, as he did the Colombian, Plenipo-
tentiary, from a regard to the remonstrances of FSIDI•
MAND, with himself, and not with the Mexican Govern-
ment, would rest the responsibility of a separation from
the Holy See. The Court of Rome, in the Doctor's
opinion, will now be more cautious, and will not refuse
a spiritual arrangement because FSRDINAND proclaims
a political heresy.

-litantiay Gazettes to the beginning of May have been
received. Reports were in circulation at that Presi-
dency, to which considerable credit was attached, that
our forces to the Eastward had actually engaged the
army of BUNDOOLAIII who had suffered a terrible de-
feat, and had escaped with difficulty from the field,
having lost his leg in the early part of the contest.—
The latest accounts from Upper Hindoostan, state that
Sir D. OcnTlatorre bad not left Mama on the Sd of
April ; at that period the most active preparations were
going on, but nothing of importance had occurred.
The ships Bombay Merchant and Helen, from Ran-

of its being in our possession immediately. The enemy

severely. A heavy firing was going on when the ships
sailed. The gallant Major YRATZS, of the 26th, we
