•SMYRNA, APRIL!.

The Oriental Spectator publishes a statement of
the Chevalier d'Avenat, Consular Agent of France,
dated Stancho, Dec. 23, 1622, in which he relates
that he had received a letterbj-express from his cor-
respondent at Boudrauna, diet a Tonisian,eurvette
had brought in there a vessel with a crew of 10 men •
stated to be a Greek insurgent, who were to be be.:
headed the same day ; but the writer of the letter
supposed it to be an lonian vessel. hl, D'Av
then proceeds to relate that he applied immediately
to the racha, representing to him the real state of
the case; that he got the order for the execution 4
the crew suspended, and the vessel proving to be an
lonian, he obtained its release. •

ew Ye, k Pape►s to Ithe 25th of April have bees
received. It appears that the Russian Government is
still persisting in its absurd clitims on the northwest
coast of America. The following are extracts: -

NEW YORK, APRIL 24.
Captain Gardner, arrived from New Iledfoxd, froan
the Sandwich Islands, informs us that the brig Pearl,
Stevens,.of Boston, arrived there five days before he
sailed, from the north-west coast, having been or-
dered off by the Russian Officer commanding at Nor-
folk Sound. After leaving the port, the Pearl was
boarded by the Russian frigate Apollo, and docu-
ments were presented to Captain Stevens, declaring
the Russian claim to exclusive jurisdiction to extend
to latitude 51. N. on the north-west coast of Ame-
rica, northward of Behring's Straits, and thence to la-
titude 47. 50. N. on the coast of Japan ; and that all
vessels, of whatever nation, caught within 100 Italian
miles even of those extensive limits (except in cases
of actual distress), will be subject to confiscation—
national vessels not excepted. The Apollo was about
to dispatch vessels, and also to proceed down the
coast for the purpose of ordering all vessels off. Two
other large Russian frigates are on their way to the,
coast.—The above article is interesting, as affording
proof of the intention of the Russian Government to
'execute the famous Ukase which was the subject of
so much sharp discussion between our Government
and the late Russian Minister in Washington : and
which it was supposed had satisfied the Russian Go-
'eras:lent of the injustice and unsoundness of its claim.
Accounts from Europe have often mentioned that
Russian ships had sailed from the north-west coast to
carry into execution that arbitrary edict, but we believe
the above is the first information received of its actual
execution by a Russian force.—Boston Sentinel.
A passengeiln the:schooner Freemason, in nine-
teen days from Campeachy, informs ui that the pro-
vince of Yucatan declared itself separate and- inde-
pendent of the Government of Mexico about the end
of last month, and that a Congress had been con-
vened at Meridi, the capital of the' Province. The
Governor of Campeachy was sent: out of the Pro-
vince, being opposed to the change, and another was
appointed by the inhabitants.—Baltimore American.
Accounts from New Orleans state,:that a British,
sloop of war had captured a pinttkal
sixty men, commanded by dvenotorious Lafitte, who
was killed- in the action. The pirate hoisted the
bloody flag and cried no quarters—and none wet!
shewn, most of them having been killed.
