ROME, JULY Se.

Naples is arming its whole force, it is said, against

Extract of a letter from Smyrna, dated July 2.
The ravages of the plague begin to abate. It is
calculated that nearly 30,000 Turks have died of it ;
about 6,000 Greeks, and a third of the Jewish popu-
lation, are also supposed to have perished. The deaths
are now calculated at 200 per day. Of those attacked
a great many escape, which is a siga that the disorder
loses its malignity.
Letters from Liverpool apprise us, that the ships
and their cargoes from Amelia Island, which had
been seized by the Custom-house Officers, at Liver-
pool, have been set at liberty, and surrendered up to
the consignees. We are informed, that the seques-
tration has been raised, not hastily, but advisedly,
after obtaining the opinions of the principal Law
Officers connected with the Treasury, the Commis-
sioners of Customs in London, and the Proctor of the
Admiralty. The cotton market has, in some degree,
fallen in consequence of this intelligence; and it is
extremely important, as it affects not only the ship-
ping immediately concerned, but nearly .20 vessels
which are expected from the same depot of Ame-
rican produce, with the future relative situation of that
depot.
Several of the merchants of Glasgow interested in
the shipment of goods to the United States, imme-
diately after the recinding of the Orders in Council,
and before the Declaration of War by the American
Government was known in this country, and who
have had their goods seized and condemned as law-
ful prizes by the American Government, have for-
warded a memorial to our Government, stating the
hardships of their case, and craving that, in any
treaty that may be made with the United States, an
article may be introduced to secure indemnification
to them for the losses they have thus sustained.

A correspondent infordis us, that an enquiry. of a
most interesting nature will probably be instituted
the course of a short time. The anxiety of our military
friends will not be a little excited when we apprize
them, that although it is as yet a subject confined to
a corps long established within a few miles of Lou-
don, it may become a point of contest in every bat-
talion affected by the reduction, consequent upon the
iormation of the Peace Establishment of the Army.
It appears that the principal object of this enquiry is
to ascertain the comparative expense and excellence .
of Regimental Messes, promising an expo: of what.
ever comes within the scrutiny of the enquirers, which
our correspondent informs us will afford a detail of
one, not less extortionate than ridiculous in the eyes
of the military world.
