FROM HAVANNAH,

Captain Pezart, arrived at Charleston, in five days
from Havannah, reports that a French frigate had
arrived there with a flag of truce, with dispatches
from the Governor of Martinique to the Governor of
Cuba; they proposed an accommodation between the
French of that island and Cuba, which was not ac-
ceded to. .

COMMERCIALLY IMPORTANT.
The New York Mercantile Advertiser says, that an .
arrangement has been agreed upon between the Go-
vernors of the Spanish and French West India Islands,
that their commerce shall not be molested by the ves-
sels of war of those nations on the station. , This ar.
rangement was completed at Martinique.
NEW YORK, JULY zo.
We have received a slip from our correspondent
at Salem (Mass.) of Friday evening, announcing the
arrival at that port of a vessel from Bahia, whence
she sailed on the nth June, at which time the city of
Bahia was besieged by the Brazilians. There was
frequent skirmishing, but.no general engagement had
lately taken place. Gen, Labital was arrested in his
quarters by his officers, about the last pf Mayt upon
suspicion of an intention of betraying the Brazilians;
and upon examination of his papers he was found to
have carried on a private correspondence with Gen,
Madeira, A paper was also found, signed by the
principal merchants of Bahia, offering him 600,000
milreas, to betray the province of Bahia into the
hands of the Portuguese. It was understood he was
to be sent to llio Janeiro by land. The Generals
Lima (a' European) and Felizbert de Gomez (a Bra-
zilian) were at the head of the Brazilian forces.
The fleet of Bahia was in port—wad the port was
declared in a state of rigorous blockade by Admiral
Cochrane, part of whose squadron was off Bahia,
and the remainder at the Moro St. Paulo. The Bra-
zilian fleet consisted of out ship of the line, two of
4} guns, two of*, a corvette, and others, twelve in
number. They were making great preparations with
fire-ships, 4c. of which four were prepared, And it
was expected a general attack would soon be made
on Bahia by sea and land. The principal POillmart-
ders of the Brazilians were Admiral Cochrane,
Vice-Admiral Jewett. Captains Thomson, Taylor,
•430 Cambri many, of the officers and crews were
Eaglish tied. American. The squadron had made
eifirt et tee.prtan, and had tent several neutrals to

. . . .

Ile is said to have gone to Patras for the purpose of demanding
an explanation front the Captain Pacha ; and Some go so'far
to add, that the Admiral has received instructions to drive ti;e
Turkish Beet out of the lonian Sea altogether. Be this as it may,
nothing can exceed the state of alarm into which its presence hits
thrown all the inhabitants. The islands may, in fact, be said to
be in a state of partial blockade, for ever since the massacre of
the poor Greeks not a vessel dare s;:i!. Previous to Sir G.
Mooax's sailing, he issued an order just rvceived from the Ad,
miralty, enjoining the mot rigorous attention to the blockade of
the Greeks. This measure is highly creditable to Mr. CANNINt:.
