STOCKHOLM, SirTimm 8.

The action brought against M. C. Filen, the heir of
the wealthy planter of the same name, by three other
relatives of the deceased, in order to prove that the
hitherto acknowledged heir, far from being brother to
the deceased, is not even related to him, excites extraor-
dinary sensation here. A circumstance that excites
aitonishment, and serves to remove all doubts, is that
the late M. Filen, of Demerara, during his life, himself
recognized M. C. Filen as his brother, and for the last
twenty or thirty year:, remitted to him a certain sum
annually through a commercial house in this city.—
The Exchequer saves by the death of Engestrien an an.
nual pension of 10,000 tin dollars banco, which he en-
joyed with permission to spend it where he pleased.

From 25th Jane to 15th August. 117 ships have sailed for forelyn
ports from Gothenburgh, of these ships 81 were Norwegian. This
preponderance which is observed not only at Gothenburgh, but
other Swedish ports, arises from the circumstance that the Norwe-
gian .Captains are more reasonable in their demands for freight.

We have given the Speech on the opening of the
Panama Congress. Our cotemporaries have bestowed
no small share of criticism upon this inaugural oration
of an enterprising Republic ; but if we might select one
feature which is more deserving remark than another,
it is the homage paid to England on the en' ghtened
zeal pursued by her Ministers, for having mainly con-
tributed to establish a fellowrfeeling in the infant States
of the New World.

Advices have been received at 1-lamburgb, from
Moscow, that a whole divibion of the Russian army had
been embarked at Odessa, to land in Georgia, to drive
the Persians from that quarter.

By letters from Havre, dated the SOth September,
state, that an estafette had arrived there, with an ac-
count that M. BUCH ST, agent from France, at Colombia,
had been recognised by that Government; in conse-
quence of which, orders have been sent to the different
ports of France, to receive the Colombian flag.

Accounts from Matanzas, dated the 23d of August,
state, that the communication to the Havannah has
been interrupted, the Government having stopped the
private mail, and the steam-boat has been tam by a
British sloop-of-war, is consequence of having some
negroes on board, as passengers.

American Papers to the Bth ult. mention the arrival
of Commodore Portz& at Vera Cruz, to take the command of the
Mexican Navy, and express sanguine hopes " that the neglect and
apathy which have been hitherto conspicuous in this branch of the
service will now cease."

The Washington Gargle of the 4th nit. states the death of General
Wane lisstrrox, in Alabama, whilst on his way to his seat in
South Carolina.

French Papers to the 3d inst. and the Etoik of Tues-
day reached us last night by Express. Official letters had been
received at Corfu confirming, says the Etoik, the defeat of the
Turks under the walls of Athens, by FABVIER and KARAISICMC4after
a most obstinate conflict. This is the battle which the ..4subien
' Observer had represented as terminating in favour of the Turks, and
with the self-dispersion of the Greek assailing force. The fact that
the Greek Commanders have since made repeated attacks on the
&museum's army posted within the town of Athens, is a sufficient
refutation of the falsehoods propagated by the .Austrian Observer,
even had no confirmation been received of the victory gained by
the Christians. Reports were current at Corfo, that Lord Commute
had quitted Messina for Napoli di Romania, and that before com-
mencing any hostile operations, it wu his intention to negotiate
with the Pacha of Earn. This Is probably the origin of the rumour
which we noticed some days ago of his Lordship having entered
into the service of the Egyptian Viceroy, whilst his real object was
to draw the Nen." over to the side of the Greeks.
The intelligence from Spain,in these Papers comes down to the
22d ult, and possesses but little novelty. The Royalist Volunteers
of Murcia and Arragen are said to have rebelled, and to have insulted
the Clergy whom they considered as too liberal. A few troops of
the line had been brought against them. and General Count d'Es-
e.totes, who put down the attempt of the ultra Bessmaxs, was
expected to march towards the disturbed districts with two regi-
ments of Guards, the only force now existing in Spain on an
effective footing.
