GIBRALTAR, Avourr 26.

Sunday morning the &W and Duke of York steamers
strived here from Cadiz. The Duke of York brought
passengers from London, Lisbon, and Cadiz ; the Echo
was the bearer to Cadiz of part of the crew and passen-
gers of the ship Morning Star, who were sent out by,
and at the expense of, the British Government, to con-
front the pirates who scuttled their ship. The thirteen
pirates, and the same number of Spaniards, were placed
in a row, and successively the witnesses were called in to
identify the pirates; and so deeply had the memory of
these wretches been stamped upon their minds, that only
in two instances was any error committed, and this mis-
take might readily happen, ashen the thirteen Spaniards
who were chosen to stand alongside the pirates were cer-
tainly, as far as looks went, as great ruffians as the
others, and in each case there was a remarkable likeness.
The steward of the Morning Star, a shrewd French-
man, when brought into their presence, actually called
the greater number of them by name to stand forward.
The manner in which the principal of this party was
apprehended is rather curious. He appeared in Cadiz
dressed in the uniform of a Portuguese Officer, and
received and returned the salut.s of the French
soldiers. In passing through the gate, the sentinel
gave him the salute, striking his musket in soldier-
like style; the other started, turned `round, and said he
was much obliged. This circumstance, so unusual in
an Officer, attracted the attention of the sentinel, wh.,
communicated it to his comrade, and then to his
Commanding Officer. The Portuguese officer was
followed—suspicion opens the eyes—he appeared now
no longer an officer to the experienced soldier, and was.
soon accommodated with a room in the prison. He :was
well known by all the witnesses whom the Echo brought
out ; and after the depositions of each person had been
taken, the Echo sailed for this port, that the Captain of,
this piratical crew, who is confined here, might be seen
by them. This man's char acter, and indeed that of the
whole crew, they being slave traders, running off,
leaving their Captain behind on the coast of Africa,
becoming pirates, their horrible cruelty—the Captain
issuing the most cruel orders, which were as cruelly
executed, lie never being seen by his crew—and finally,
the miraculous manner in which they have been placed
in the hands of justice—altogether there is so much
of romance about the whole story, that at a future day,
there is material for an interesting novel. It is wonder-
ful how the hand of PROVIDENCE seems to follow the
guilty, and promote justice. In this instance they
thought that, by scuttling the Morning Star, they
would verify the old proverb, 44 A dead man tells no
tales ;" but the vessel floated, and many tongues can
tell the tale of their cruelty. " Murder will out." The
Echo will now proceed to Bilboa, where the remainder,
of the pirates have been apprehended.
That curious phenomenon of the formation of vapour
at the top of Gibraltar rock may now constantly be
seen. Easterly winds have been prevailing for same
time ; and, as long as the wind continues in this direc-
tion, we shall have a constant vapour hanging over us.
It is curious to stand upon the top of the rock, and see
the beautiful Mediterranean sky-ilue blue. A few feet
above the rock that peculiar flickering appearance which
heated air shows is seen; then, ibeve that, the vapour
begins to form, and floats away in dense clouds towards
the ocean. During this wind the rock is insufferably
warm—there is a peculiar closeness in the air ; and
those who have lived here for some time can tell before
they leave their beds in the morning whether an'emterly
wind (a Levanter) is blowing.
On Saturday last the Russian flag-ship TuchamPe:,
nouse, Admiral Ricord, Captain Plater, arrived here.
The remainder of the squadron are detained under Cape
Spatel by this easterly wind. The flag-ship will re-
main in this harbour until joined by the others; they
will then proceed up the Mediterranean to join the Rus-
sian fleet.

Gibraltar Bay exhibits many curious appearances
during the continuance of the easterly wind. One is
just off the New Mole—a number of currents of air,
coming from many different points, strike with amazing
•iolence upon the water, and force it up in considerable
quantities; sometimes they seem to follow each other
in a circle, with amazing rapidity, throwing the spray
to a long distance. During this gale no boatmen will
make fast the sheet of his sail, but holds it in his hand,
looking anxiously for the coming breeze. Many boats
are capsized a ithuot the slightest warning.

Intelligence, dated the 7th instant, was received this
morning at the Foreign Office, announcing the surren-
der of Madeira to the forces sent against it by Don
MIGUEL. This event is stated to have taken place
after a very slight tesistance. The expedition appeared
off the island on the 16th ult. and took possession of
it on the 24th, previously to which the tiovernor,
VALDE; had embarked on board an English vessel.

The efforts of the Loan LIEUTENANT of Ireland to
conciliate the affections of the watm•bearted people of
that country have been, we rejoice to perceive, the
theme of approbation from both of the parties which at
present distract the public peace in the Sister Kingdom.
The applause with which his Lordship has been greeted
on every occasion of his appearance in public, the ad-
dresses that have been presented to him, and the wel-
come that has hailed his good-humoured condescension
at Donnybrook Fdir, and at other plaes of amusement
of the common people, have already marked Lord
ANGLESEY As the most popular Vic. soy that Ireland has
sea► fvr Many a year. Though suffering severely at times
from attscks of his painful disorder, Lord ANGULO),
since the public eye has been upon hint in his dignified ,

station, has distinguished himself by an affable and win•
ning deportment towards all who have been officially
or other wise connected with him. and has inspired the,
country in general with the belief. that the LORD LIMP*
TRNANT has their interests sincerely at heart. He has'
thus afforded an additional instance of the truth—that
nothing is so easy as for the great rq make themselves
respected and beloved, if they really wish to win men's
affections.

The strict impartiality of Sir ANTHONY Harr as
Loi d Chancellor, has also tended materially to allay the
discontents of the liish. The very first principles of
society demand the even-handed administration of jus-
tice, and the exercise of the royal prerogative without
favour or affection. The office of Lord Lieutenant is al
ministerial, and not a legislative one, and is now dis-
charged as it ought to be, without regard to the reli-
gious or other opinions of the King's subjects, but with
reference only to their conduct as citizens. The people
c msequently have begun to feel themselves secure in
the enjoyment of their property, arta assured of protec-
tion against faction and outrage.

The Paris Papers received last night bring no account
of any new or important occurrence in the war on the
Turkish frontier, the article from Odessa consisting of
loose reports or looser speculation. It is perhaps, how-
ever, not unworthy of remark, that the formidable cha-
racter of the means of resistance at the disposal of
the Porte is now fully admitted by the Messages- des
Chaashres, which, on the commencement of the cam-
paign, anticipated the most rapid and decisive success
on the part of the Russians.

The Algemeine Zeilmv, received this morning, con-
tains no additional news from the Russian head•goarters.
The Nuremberg Correspondent, in speculating on the pio
bable consequences of the war, contains the following s
