All the accounts from Asia agree in stating that
great and general alarm is caused by the progress of
the Russian arms. The Asiatic Tusks do not pay the
least regard to the announcement of victories said to,
have been gained on the Danube, they think only on'
the evils which affect themselves. The Government
is obliged to employ force to rake troops, most of
I.which disperse on the road. For this month past no
more are sent to Constantinople, but attention is wholly

Rigorous measures have been sent from Constanti-

the audanelles has not yet commenced, but it soon
will be, and extend from the post of Salonichi to the
golf. f Smyrna, the last port excepted. All these ac-
counts ate very disastrous to the commerce of Smyrna.
The gt e4test tranquillity, however, prevail, in the city.

PARIS, Nov. 21.
The Moniteur f yesterday publishes the following
dispatches—
" Vice-Admiral Rigny, Commander-in-Chief of the
French Naval Force in the Levant, to the Minister
of Marine and the Colonies.

" Pains, Nov. 1,1e25.
MORMONECR—GeneraI Winn has sent to the
Minister rf War an accrunt in detail of the operations
which led to the reduction of the Castle of the Morea,
where 600 men were shut up after the Capitulation of
Pstras, to which they would not epee. I shall limit
myself, therefore, to giving you the details of the part
which the navy t lok in this operaton.
" Before the arrival c f the reinforcement under the
Commander-in-Chief, General Schneider, by the assist.
ance of the frigate Duchess de Berry, l'Armide, La
Diden, and the English frigates Blonde and Talbot,
had erected a battery of eight 18-pounders. Other
guns were landed and were about to be mounted, when
the arrival of the Conquerant and the transports having
the battering train, per mitted us to add two 24-pounders
belonging to that ship, as well as the battering guns
and two mortars and two howitzers. On the S9th, at
day-break, the battery opened its fire, at forty toises;
the artillery was worked with zeal and emulation, and
had made a breach towards noon, when a flag of truce
announced that the garrison had surrendered. Shortly
afterwards a battalion took possession of the fort; and
from that moment the Morea may be considered as
completely evacuated by the Turks, and placed under
the Government contemplated by the Treaty of July 6."
The Admiral then praises his officers and crews for
their zeal and activity in executing the services en-
trusted to them, particulatly M. Leferec, and Lieutenant
de Vaissean, of La DiJon; M. Paudra, of L'Armide;
M. Dubouctiez, of La Duchess de Berry ; and M. Jul.
lon, of Le Conquerant, who commanded the detach-
menu employed against the batteries. The Admiral
adds, that it is his particular duty to acknowledge
highly the services rendered by Captain Lyons, of his
Britannic Majesty's ship Blonde, perfectly well seconded
by his First Lieutenant, Luck'aft, who commanded the
four guns and the detachment landed from that ship.
The English bomb Etna, Captain Lassington, was
placed in a very judicious position, and was remarkable
f,,r the accuracy of her firing, which considerably
ab,idged the resistance. In the service, the Admiral
adds, there were five seamen wounded—lour belonging
to the Conquerant and one to the Armide.
EXTRACT or ANOTHER LETTER FROM ADMIRAL RIONT.
About 25 0 individuals, composing the Turkish
s which have abandoned the Morea, have asked
to be transported to S:n)rna. For this purpose twelve
transein is will be employed, and then there will not be
4 single Turk in the Morea."
In another letter, dated on board the Conquerant, on
the 1 t of November, Admiral !bey informs the Mr-
:lister that he inclose' him a copy of the let er he had
rehlressed to Vice Admiral Malcolm, and takes that
ppottunity of exptessing the sati.fictiou be continues

to feel at the relations which exist between the Allied
squadrons, and the harmony which has not ceased to
prevail for one instant between the three Admirals, and

which had contributed to smooth the difficulties they

had met with in the execution of their duty. The fcb
lowing is the inclosed letter to Admiral Malcolm:

Conquersot, Para, Nov. t.
" Sta—it is a great satisfaction to me to have to in-
form you of the frank and cordial cooperation of Cap-
tain Lyons, of his BritanniC Majesty's ship the Blonde,
of Captain Lissington, of the Etna, and of all the offi
cers and men under. their orders, at the reduction of the
fort of the Morea. Called the second time to witness
the energetic emulation of our respective ships, for tilt
accomplishment of a common purpose, it is my pat ti-
cular duty to recommend to the attention of their Corn
mander in Chief the officers and seamen who, in a series
of libations service:, displayed as much perseverance
as determination ; but I beg leave particularly to

the attention of your Excellency to 'Lieutenant LT:It.
raft, First Lieutenant of the Blonde, who, in the ser-
vice on shore. directed very skilfully the Blonde's guns.
Neitharoan I forget the assistance given to us by Cy.
tain Spencer of the Talbot, prior to the snivel of. Cp.
lain Lyons in the Blonde, as well as afterwards.
* I have the honour to be, Sir, &c.
DR MGM', Vice Admiral.
" To Vice Admiral Sir Palreney Malcolm,
Admiral Rigny then refers to a copy o[-11,itter;
which he also iticloses, written by himself and aeneral
Haison, to the Pacha of Lepanto, as follows:
inc undersigned hate the honour to inform the
Pacha of Lepant I, that in making preparations to oc-
cupy the Ctstle of the Motu, it is not their intention to
commit any act of hostility againit the firms of Romelia
and Lepanto. The undersigned, now that the C.4st'e
of the Morea is in their possession, offer another proof.
of this, by declaring that the regard the Gulf of Le•
panto as free for all vessels if war, without st the same
time pretending to put any obstacle in the way of the
Castle of Romelia levying the customary dues on mere
chant vessels, considering the Gulf of Lepanto as a nett.,
tral sea, on which no hoatility ought to be exercised by
the Turks against the Greeks, nor the (Reeks against
the Turks, until some definitive stipulations have been
made between the Sublime Porte and the three Allied
Courts. The undersigned, in proposing this arrangement
to the Pacha of Lepanto, are conscious that he will tee
cognise in it the good faith and fraultnesr which ani-
mate them, and the desire of avoiding those collisions
which will force them to make themselves masters of
.the Gulf, instead of equally sharing it.

DISPATCHES ADDRESSED TO THE MINISTER OF WAR, IT
GENERAL MAISON.
• Before the Castle of the Mom, Oct. EL 1525.
41 SlR—The Convention for the evacaation of Paves
and the Castle of the Morea, of which I sent your Es-
cellency a copy, seemed to terminate our operations in
'the Mere; by deliveriug it from its'enemies; but on
the day fixed for the delivery of the, p *sae of the Mo-
rest to out troops, the Aga% who commanded there re-
volted against their supeliors, refused to glee up the
Cace, and declared they would buritthemselves under
s rums sooner than surrender. All the means of con-
re u tion employed by General Schneider failed against
the obstinacy of the rebels, who even began hostilitiei
against us, by charging the General and the Capisin
of Artillery, who had approached to reconnoitre thel
place; then General Schneider resolved to reduce the
Castle by force, and on the night of the 19th he berm
his works before it. On the 18th I was informed et
blivarin of the state of things in the Gulf of Lepanto.
I requested Admiral Rigny to supply me with means
of transporting 1,500 men, and some ships of the lime;
and I immediately dispatched by land the division el
General Higonet ; Admiral Rigny resolving to go Wel
self, I embarked in his ship, with a company of missal,
and 'all the artillery. 4
"On the 20th, all the troops were on their march•
those who went by land had eight different marches t•
accomplish, and great cur Liens were necessary to semi
them supplies during their route. The fleet, the 46th
regiment, the artillery, kc. which went by it, arrived is
thirty-six hours.
" On the Std in the evening I was berme the castle;
on the 231 in the morning L reconnoitted it, and the
worlds erected in the short time. The place is strong
and well fortified; a battery of 14 guns at 250 toises
had silenced the greater part of the Ere of the castle.—
Another was preparing at 130 toises ; I ordered it to be
removed to within 40 or 50 toises; it was established,
and several others commenced at the same distance.—
We have commenced regular operations, and we shall
be this evening, the 28th, at the foot of the ramparts,
when I shall open it with 40 guns, of which twenty-
two are battering guns ; the others are to be employed
in destroying the angles of the fortifications. The troops
have laboured eery hard, and they have displayed the
greatest zeal and courage. The seamen have assisted us
greatly, and I must particolarly ment.o.t the zeal of the
the English Captain Lyons, of the Blonde, was desirous
of assisting our Navy in the reduction of the place, and,
it was settled that he should send as many men and guns',
from his ship as were sent from ours; his people andl
ours are at the same battery, their guns are placed to-
gether, and both parties act like brave and true com-
rades. Each gun is fired to cries of . Vive le Rui.' The
Russians are at Mats, and will regret their absence 'I
from the place. Admiral Heyden has frequently offered
me his services. I hope to celebrate the Fete du Itoi
by the capture of the castle.
"The fever continues to attack a great number of
soldiers. I regret to add, that the recovery is slow, and
that the rainy season, which is about to commence, will
not be favourable to the re-establishment of health. In
particularly the engineers have suffered much, and the
losses of their body are out of all proi-ottion greater
than any other, which is attributed to the severe la-
bour they have undergone. At present the four com-
panies of sappers do not contain more than 200 men
capable of marching."

" Before the Castle of the Mores, Oet. 31.
" SlR—My letter of the 28th, will have informed
your Excellency of the state of things; our labours
were continued without intermission, with a zeal which
cannot be too much praised, and yesterday, the 30th,
the breaching batteries being ready, our fire was opened
at six o'clock in the morning: the effect was prompt
and terrible ; in fwr hours a large breach was made ;
the enemy date not show himself on the walls; and I
then caused the fire of the batteries to be susp:nded,
except thole of the breach. I would have t!.eu ordered

an assault, when a Big of truce was
elated to the beat er,whn desired to treat tar a surrender.,
that I would grant no capitulation to peop!e who bad
already violated One—aat they must surrenders at die.
cretion, or I wouli put them all to the sword beforotero
hours ; that I would only give them half an hoer to
open the gates, and come out without arms. They im-
mediately submittel, sating, that finding themselves
before a Representative f the powetful King of France,
they placed themselves in his hands and.at his mercy.
Two c 'mpanies of the 10th and one of the 4th took
possession of the gates; the delivery of the arms, among
which were some handsome sabres and yatagans.
%tiered the Turks very much, but I was desirous of pu.
noshing them (or resisting the capitulation of Petra%
and I was inflexible. I distributed the arms to the Ge-
, 'Duals, the other officers and men of both services.
• " The five batteries were called Charles X.
George IV. the Dluphin, tie Da' e de Bardeaux, and
the NAvy. The Eng.idt, •ho served foul. guns, were
-Aureately pleased by our attention in giving one of the
'batteries the name of their Sovereign. We wqe bound
to do so by the zeal and fidelity with which they be-
haved on all ocra•iloas. 1 cannot too eruch praise
Lieutenant Luck' •ft, an old and worthy officer, who
commanded tl e battery with great skill dining the

23 shells having been thrown into the fort." The GC.,

artillery, and could baldly believe that in so shoot a
time we had destroyed the walls socomp4etely, behind
which they thought they should be safe fora long time.
Thirty-eight pieces of ordnance were employed.
"I have written a note. in conjunction with Admiral
Rigny, to the Pacha of Lepanto, giving him assurances
of the good sentiments of the Allies for the Porte.
"The lest of the killed and wounded has not yet been
sent to me; bat I do not believe they exceed 25, ten of
whom belong to the artillery. I sent to your Escellency

rison. I hoisted at the Castle of the Morea the

from Vera Cruz to'she l sth ult. Mexico was in state
of great excitement- I,n the subject of the elettion of
President. Returns of the votes from twelve Sate, had
been received, nine of settle') were in favour of Petit aza,
now Minister of War, the Other three for Gut new, the
+Orr candidate.

A letter of the 15th, from Vera Cruz, says—" Since
the date of our last. we have had some apprehensions
that our public tranquillity would be disturhed. General
St. Anna has seduced some 400 or .500 of the t. (sops at
lialapa, and marched on to take possession of the for-
tress of Parote, a strong hold, with the avowed ohj-ct
of supporting tie pretensions of one of the candid..tes,
General Gomm, for the Presidency, agai.:st his an-
tagonist. Should St. Anna be supp•srted by his friend
Guerrero, we fear that a civil w.rr will be the con e-
quence. If he stands alone, he will soon be put dem n."
It was reported on the day the Independence sailed,
that St. Anna had taken possession of the castle i f Pa.
rote, and was determined to sustain G,teirero as ne,;.
dent by the force of arms, if he was not elected by the
voice of the people.

FROM Till NEW YORK AMERICAN.
MEXICO.
From the Journal of COMPICICC we copy a letter, ev•
ing interesting details concerniog the recent eltcoon of
President of that Republic, and are indebted to the edi-
tors of the same paper for a file of the Sol of M-zico tq
the 6th ult. and of Vera Cruz papers to the 12 h. The
Presidential election, which whit place on the Ist
September throughout the Col feller stion, seems to has.
resulted unexpectedly in favour of Pedraza, the prewar
Minister of war, instead of Gnerrero. The Conledera-
tiun is composed of nineteen States, and the choice is
made by the Legislatures of each State. As tar as
heard from, Pedraza had, it is said, the met of twelve
States, Guerrero only of three; one of these was Mexico
itself, wl:ere the vote was eleven to ten.

Articles of accusation weie preferred in the legida.
tore Lf Vett' Cruz, against General Santa Ansi, where.
upon he was suspended firm his government by the act
of the legidature, and Ignacio de Mom a appoikted
his place. S inta Anna acquiesced in this measure,
transmitting himself to Senor Mota the orders of the
Govirnment, and only asking a speedy inquiry.
In the preliminary elections in Oaz ica, parties were
so exasperated that they came to blows; the military
wete called in, and several persons were killed and
woundet'.
We do not find in the Vet a Cruz Papers any allusion
to Santa Anna , having taken up arms, though the
country s•ems in a state of anarchy. Peilraza's election
is ascribed to the gold and intrigues of the old Spaniel c.
The charges against Mr. Politic t, of in,erfering in tfie
elections, are, we ventuee to say, wholly groundless.
The nineteen States of the Mexican Confedetatioa
are (Mexico, Puebla, Qteretaro, Vera Cruz, Valladolid,
Guanaxuato, Xalisco, Z catecas, Oaxaca). San Luis
Pound, Durango, Cahulla, Tejas, and Tamaulipas,
Neuvo Leon, Chihrahn, Cheapas, Tabasco, and &Dora.

Mexican Papers, and of the eight one State only (Mexico)
had voted for Guerrero.
