• BALTIMORZ, Oct. 12.—Tatmr AHSUL l—The brig

19days from Onset's, On the 29th Sept. in lat. 20,
lb N. fell in with the meek of the brig Boston, of
Salem, from St. Domingo, with a cargo of mahoginy.
The brig was upset ins Kean on the 12th ; her masts
were cat sway, when she righted, bat the hell remain-
ed water-logged. Capt. Doyle was washed overboard
when she upset, sad drowsed; en the 23d, the mate

Bads, a seaman, expired from the same caese--.-for,
shocking to relate, these distressed men were without

that proceeded from their own bodies, for IS days!
Three of the remaining crew were taken from the
wreck and kindly treated by Capt. Bucking, and have
arrived is good health in the brig. One poor fellow

The only foreign moil arrived to day, when our
paper went to press, was one from Rio Janeiro. It
is, however, only two days later than that which pre-
viously caw to hand• There are now dee, two mails
*em 'rases, and two from Hamburg, besides those

Letters received from Constantinople state, that in
coasequenee of some British vessels having lately been
detained by the Greeks, Captain Hamilton, of the
Cambrian, had declared his intention of treating all
Greek vet• els as pirates, if they continued such a prac-
tice. 'lbis determination had produced the desired
tem, and British ships bad ever since been respected
by the Greek cruisers.
The capture of Lima. which, no doubt, will decide
the fate of the whole of the Western coast of South
Americo, is of the utmost importance to this etessery
lea mercantile point of view, as it is expected that a
market will be opened for the purchase of British ma-
asfeeteess to the amount of several millions sterling
per annum,. Specie, it is supposed, will continue
seassally abundant in a short spare of time, as it is
known that the mines in that portion of South
America have been completely emptied of the water
with which they have been filled for years past, by
He application of steam-engines, constructed purposely
is this country, so that the silver may fur the future
be extracted without further difficulty.
Private letters from Lisbon communicate die recent
soceediags of the Cortes. That legislative body has
decreed, contrary to the unanimous opinion of the De-
pities from Pernambuco, that some-of the troops to be
sent to Rio Janeiro, should be landed at the former
town. The individuals who were arrested there in
July and August, on suspicion of being concerned la
the attempt upon the life of the Governor, have arrived
at Lisbon, and applied to the Cortes to be set at liberty.
Their tipplieatioe, aid all the papers relative to the
eamplaints against the above-menthemed public func-
tionary, have been referred to Government, " in order
that the matter may be duly iavethigated." By the
debates le tit. Cortes. it appears that the audacity and
numberof robbers is Lisbon are such, that they have
lately assailed private houses in the principal streets,
even at noon-day. Pursuant to a decree of dm Cortes,
foreign brandies are henceforth to pay 8,000 teas per
pipe, on their being imported into the Isle of Madeira
as its dependencies, or the Mores ; and Portuguese
brandies 7,600. This latter duty is also to be paid on
ibt importation of brandies, from one of the. shove-
mentioned islands into another, with the exception of
what may be-imported from that of Fayal into that of
Tice, and 'kerma. The export duty on brandies ma-
nufeetunel in Portugal. or in the same islands, is re-
diced to 4,400 nag per pipe. This decree, dated on
the 11th of October, aid inserted in the Government
Diary of the nth. was to be acted upon, with regard
to Gihralear and the ports of Spain. in a fortnight
after its publication is the Chancery Court, and with
respect to every other port, thirty days after the same.
