IMPORTANT TO SHIPPING— HAMBIJKOII, Alva. U.
tdr the security of vessels entering the Elbe, a second
signal ship has been stationed between the White Tons,
Nays) Nos. $ and 4, near the sand bank, at the mouth
of the Elbe, where the Channel divides. It lies exactly
it course of S. E. by E. about one and three-quarters
Gams miles from the signal ship, and N. E. by E.
from the Schaarhorn bank, and N. W. front the great
tower on Neuwerk, in 11 fathoms water. From the 15th
of September, this year, it will remain constantly in this
spot, except when it is forced from its station by the ice.
This ship is rigged like a galliot; and that it may not be
confounded with the fur signal ship, it will be distin-
guished in the day by a blue and white flag from the
top of the main-mast, divided horizontally; and have,
at sight, two lanterns, fixed perpendicularly above each
other to the same mast, and about 18'feet apart.

Letters from Corfu of the Slit of July, state in sub-
stance, that since the appearance of Lord Cochrane in
the lonian Sias in the month of May, the St. George
Greek brig remained there with a certain number of
small vessels, to maintain the blockade of the Gulf of
Patras. These vessels had hitherto avoided the approach
of the Turkish deet,which went backwards and forwards
between Navatin and Patras. However, on the 23d of
July, a Turkish frigate, two corvettes, and five brigs,
sitiling from Navarin to the Gulf of Lepanto, the St•
George, with another Greek vessel, attacked, on the
night of the 23d, the Turkish vessel that was the fore.
shut. The seven edam Turkish "mesh coming to its
assistance, the Greeks retired, aft* a hundred cannon
shot had been exchanged. A later account says that
both the Greek vessels had sustained some damage, and
that a nephew of his Lordship's, who commands the St.
George, was wounded.
Another letter from Corfu, of the sth of August
announces, that on the lit, in the morning. the Hellas
frigate and the St. George were seen off Zante, which
fell in with two Turkish corvettes. The cannonade of
these vessels was heard at Zante till two o'clock in the
afternoon. The next day the Hellas was seen opposite
Zante, and the St. George at a small distance; having
with them a Turkish corvette of 24 guns, and a Turkish
schooner of 10 guns, which had probably been cap-
tured in the action of the day before by Lord Cochrane,
who was on board the Hellas. The corvette bad sus-
tained considerable damage in the tackle and sails, and
people were seen oa the deck busy in repairing it. The
schooner was uninjured, and still bore the Turkish
(colours. AU these vessels sailed towards Castel Tornese.
The Captain of the Frederick Adam lonian steam
boat affirms that the crew of the Hellas was composed
of 80 men at the most, because the Greeks would no
longer serve under Lord Cochrane. That the duty on
board that frigate was so disagreeable to the Greeks,
on account of the loud explosion of the great guns, that
they would not expose their ears to it.
The Cephalonian Captain who commanded the ves-
sel captured by Lord Cochrane at the end of May, with
Greek prisoners on board, has been condemned by the
.tribunal at Zama to fifteen yeareimprisoosneat in irons,
as guilty of tarrying on a trade in slates. The ten
Turks who composed the escort were sent to Patras.
PARIS, Sam I.
The Journal du Commerce publishes the following
extract of a letter, dated Constantinople, 26th July,
which it has received by way of Marseilles :
" Nothing is talked of here but the approaching ar-
rival of the squadaots of all the Christian nations to
second the intervention of the powers of the west in the
affairs of Greece; but people are convinced that what-
ever repugnance the Government may feel for the-pro.
posed means of accommodation, it will yield without
striking a blow, and the alarms that under such cir-
cumstances might be felt for the persons sad property
of the Franks are entirely destitute of any reasonable
fouadation. Nevertheless, as these ideas will gain
ground in Europe, our commercial situation will be
completely changed. There will be a great diminu-
tion in the consignments from your port for a country
which you will fancy given up to fire and sword, and
clear-sighted and bold speculators will profit by the
fears of others."

BARCELONA, Ammer IS.
The following is the official dispatch which the In-
tendant of Police at Barcelona, Don Francisco Hen-
riques. had addressed to the Head of the Police at
Madrid. It gives a correct idea of the actual state of
affairs in Catalonia:
" Mose Ittusraions Sza—The desire and the hope of
presenting to your Excellency a more flattering picture
than that I presented by my dispatch of the 31st of last
month, respecting the political events of this province,
have delayed for some time the lasagne's of bringing it
under your review. But, judging that my silence might
. become injurious to the service of his Majesty, and ex-
ercise a fatal influence on the general tranquillity, on
account of the different colours which might be given
to events, with views of which we cannot be ignorant.
I shall now tell you, that since the Ist instant the re-
bellion has made considerable progress under the con.
duct of its principal Chiefs, the ex-Colonels Raphael,
Bosch, and Balleis:er, and Augustin Saperes, who have
been joined by a great number of officers on unlimited
leave, who had shared along with Balleistrr, in the be-
nefits of the amnesty, after their first sedition in the
month of April.
" The rebel bands increase in a frightful manner,.
Several of them are known by the names which distin-
guish their Chiefs. A great number of them included
more than 200 men, who are organized by divisions,
battalions, and companies. They never the:ess continue,
to admit and incorporate into their ranks the Royalist
Volunteers, who yield to the lures of seduction with a
scandalous facility. There are likewise several bands,
of from ten to twenty men, who, without knowing their
true chiers, act in separate detachments, or unite them-
selves to the larger. Thus the rebels traverse the coun-
try with impuni y, spread terror all around, plunder
the arms horn the municipalities, from individuals, and
from the K .yalistirolunteen who refuse to follow them ;
seizing even their uniforms, military chests, and the
mime yr for the pay allowed to those corps a their audacity
attacks even the priimipal cities, levies extraordinary
contributions, pillages the public fund., leads off as hos
Cages the tithed persons, who only regain their liberty

by a ransom. and increases the excesses and misfortunes
of the sufferers by persuading the docile and ignorant
multitude that all these enormities are sothorised,by
the secret orders of the King. our master, and the
special approbation of the Holy Father; that the troops
will not oppose them and tbat they never will assemble
in sufficient force to defeat their design.
" To resist this torrent of evils, ST6 soldiers only
have arrived from Majorca in the course of the
present month,—a force insufficient for such an enter-
prise; and being unable to for in either combinations
for the pursuit, or to occupy the most important points,
the small moveable columns of the province confine
their operations to the tracking of some particular band
and as it is impossible for them either to overtake it or
to encounter it, on account of the inequality of- the
ground, better known to the rebel bands than to the
faithful troops, the only fruit of their pursuit consists in
exhausting themselves by useless fatigues, if not sur-
prised by ausbustade....4 misfortune which lately hap-
pitied to a Captain et cavalry, who dumper-idled. The
better to secure themselves, they abuse men's minds by
the lying opinion that the orders for repressing their
movements are only appearances put on • and as .the
inhabitants of the cities and villages see that they Make
rapid progresses and frequent excursions without en-
countering any obstacles, and with the greatest impu-
dence, if they refuse to believe such assertions, at least
they abandon themselves to fear and mistrust with so
much more appearance of reason, that this criminal im•
potation finds, unhappily, a new foundation in the con-
duct of some authorities and functionaries, who, by
weakness or perversity, do not show the energy and
zeal which are suitable and necessary.
" The police has, with grief, beheld all its fears
realized, though when it predicted these misfortunes, it
proposed the remedy at a seasonable juncture. Forced
by its duties and attributions to the terrible avowal, it
announced four months ago the disaster which menaced
the province, and the cause which fomented these ele-
ments of discord; but ill men do not see the future
with the same eye, any with the same perspicacity of
judgment. It is then necessary to wait for a sad and
terrible experience to convince them and the police,
reduced to its own forces to oppose the evil, has ex-
hausted its resources, which were so much more feeble
as it had no- support. because these precautions have
only been regarded as necessary from the very recent
moment since experience has raised the veil.
" Since we have been undeceived, we have taken
measures which ought to have been taken at first, to
avoid and not to repress them, as is now done. Ap-
prized of them Lytle clamours of the police, its designs
should have been seconded, instead of being accused of
exaggeration.
" But it is not yet too late; and if the measures which
are prescribed are put its execution with the necessary
activity, I natter myself with the hope that I shall soon
be able to announce to your Excellency the hippy
changes which have taken place in the province; and
the best results may be expected if, in order to remedy
the indispensable delay in the arrival of the troops, we
employ the extraordinary resources at the disposition
of the superior authority, who has in hand the armed
force and other means calculated for circumstances so
urgent.
" Nevertheless, in whatever manner this is brought
*boot, the happy result cannot long be delayed. It will
soon be known, and then I shall eagerly communicate it
to you for your satisfaction, and for that of all the sub-
jects devoted to the King our master, the friends of
order, who are desirous for the happiness of his people.

" P S. At this instant I have received a dispatch from
the sub-delegate of Villa Franca, which announcesto
me that the moveable column under the orders of the
Captain of the 10th, Don Julian Losada, and composed
of 200 men, destined to pursue the band of Augustin
Saperes, encountered it the same day, on the borders of
Piera. After a spirited attack, the rebels had 15 killed
and several wounded, whom they carried off in their
flight. The defeat and dispersion of the rebels cost
nothing to the conquerors ; one grenadier only was
wounded. I hasten to make this mown to your Ex-
cellency."

IPROW THE JOURNAL DES DREAM
SINGULAR COMBAT WITH ROBBERS.

About ten years ago nothing was heard of but the
robberies and stoppages that occurred in the passes of
the Pyrenees. Above all, about the period of the fairs at
Pao and Otoran, it happened that men, at other times
accustomed to contraband trade, united in arms, in order
to plunder the wealthy merchants passing into France.
Under such circumstances, a merchant, named Benito-
Marton, was stopped in one of the passes, not far from
Gabes, by four men, armed with fosils and pikes. Two of
his servants who preceded him had been already stripped,
and compelled,in order to save their li ves,to crouch down
on the ground, with their beads covered with a cloth,
and one of the robbers kept them, with his gun in this
position, while the rest went to attack the Spanish mer-
chant. The latter, who was journeying without dis-
trust, led a mule laden with 243,000 francs. AU of a
sudden two men appeared before him, with their guns
presented, and demanded his money. The Spaniard
save them his purse, which contained twenty francs,
in different coins; but not satisfied a ith that sum,
the robbers approached the mule, and were pre•
paring to unload it, when Benito, who kept his pre-
sence of mind, thought he heard his servants, who fol-
lowed him at some distance. At that moment began
a contest, perhaps without example. The intrepid
Spaniard seized with one hand the robber by the neck,
who threatened his life, with a pistol presented to his
breast, and turned aside the murderous weapon with the
other, and In the other robber menaced him with his
gun, if he did not quit his companion, he had the ad-
dress to use the one robber as a buckler, and to turn
him in every direction, in order to shield him from the
other. 'lhis terrible and singular scene continued for half
anhour. t length his shouts were hear d,and the two fore-
most Spaniards contrived to break from their confinement,
and come back to thewssistance of their fr iend.Two of the
brigands stopped them, and in the meanwhile the other
domestics came np. Benito still embraced the robber,
whom he used as a rampart. The robber, who had
hitherto kept steady, mode a last effort to deliver his

The following, from another Correspondenticontains
some interesting views respecting the Commercial 41t1A.
tion of Colombia. They are given by a Gentleman of
long residence in that country, and much experience in
trade, and will, no doubt, be found' correct. His ten-
tentious account of Bolivar's character, we suspect, is
more to the purpose than one half of the elaborate de-
scriptions given of it by the thousands who have at-
tempted it s
" CARACAS, 31111 i L 9, 1821.
'4 Since the arrival of the President, Bolivar, in Cita
tam, in the early part of January last, great *keratin*
in almost every branch of the Government of Venezuela
have been made by and with the advice of Mr. Revenge,
his Secretary General—these alterations have had for
their object, first, a curtailment of expenses of the Go-
eminent ; and, secondly, a more advantageous system
of revenue than that established by Congress in March
1844. Great and general dissat'sfaction has prevailed
and still exists thjoughcut the community, in cons&
queue of these alterations, which, instead of ameliorate
ing the country, has produced the contrary result. In
fact, the system of Mr. Revenge is nothing mote or less
than the old Spanish system revived, with a few slight
improvements. In my opinion, and indeed it is the
opinion of all who know any thing about the comtner-
cial state of the country, that the present system cannot
last long; yet the influence that Mr. Revenge pinkish
with the President, will induce him to continue it, al-
though it is so contrary to the teal inietests of the Go-
vernment, and of course to the people. Mr. Revenge
dislikes foreigners, and his real object in blinging tot-
ward this system is intended to injure foreigners, while,
in fact, he is destroying the whole native populations
commercially speaking; all his restrictions on cons-
merce, situated as this country is, tends to impoverish
and parelize the agriculturist, and must eventually, if
continued long enough, cue! a revolution much more
dangerous than that of April, 1826, under General
Paez. M. Mendoza, the Intendant, who is certainly a
man of talents and much influence, is oppos?d to all
Revenge's plans; and yet, although be stands high in
the estimation of Bolivar, he has no influence with him
in these matters. It is most extraordinary that a mart
like Bolivar should be thus blind and implicitly follow
the advice of Revenge, who knows no more about
finance than a boy of ten years old; the strongest prof
of his ignorance of finance is the total stoppage of Go-
vernment paper, or what you would call in the United
States, Treasury certificates; however, it is needless to
talk more on this subject, experience alone will convince
the people of this country, what all the improvements
in the other parts of the world will never accomplish. '
" The character of Bolivar is not known in the United
States of Europe. He is honest, brave and generous,
strictly just, but proud and imperious. His ideas of
government and state policy, are very different to what
you in the United States consider liberal principles. In
fact, he knows the people of Colombia better than they
know themselves, and without him at the present mo-
ment, there would be nothing but anarchy and confu-
sion. He goes on to Bogota to meet the Congress, and
to punish the performers in the drama under the ma-
nagement of Santander.
" Bolivar has become very unpopular here, because
he has been led by Revenge to put into operation the
present system of Rents, &c. After he leaves here,l
have no doubt that strong remonstrances will be sent
on to Congress from Venezuela, kc.
" Puerto Cabello is now dismantled, end it is *ld the
Castle or Fortress there will be demolished. The Dutch
are throwing up immense fortifications at Curacoa,
der the e.ye and purse, it is said, of the English.
" General Paez, who is now at Whirsicai sick, remains
in command of Venezuela, as Gefe Supreme ; Dr. Pena
to be his Secretary General ; Mendoza remains as In-
tendant.—Adieu to politics. This being the ilitll•seeson
of business, the markets have nothing very encouraging
to offer. In about two months. I think. there wilt be a
considerable restival of business it the present system be
