between 5 and 6 deg. N. lat. about 300 miles distant{
from Sierra Leone. It is remarkable healthy and fer-
tile, lays high, producing rice of an excellent quality,
corn, and all kinds of tropical grain and fruits. The
water is very good, and the river furnishes the best
fish and oysters ; copper, cotton, tobacco of a very
good quality, the.6rst of which is sold at from 4d. to
Sd. per pound. The purchase has been effected on the
most advantageous terms, viz : for an annual supply
of rum, manufactured tobacco, pipes, knives, &c. ; the
total cost, in this country, would not exceed 300 dol-
lars per annum.

just come in, one a line of battle ship, and the other a
frigate. It is said they came from Porto Cabello. The
schooner Israel. Adeline, and the Spanish troop from
St. Augustine arrived last evening. The convoy under
charge of Captain Ramage is not yet arrived but short-
ly expected.

His Majesty's ship, Tartar, arrived in Free Town-har-
bour on the evening of Tuesday last. We are happy to
state that Commodore Sir George Collier, and all his
officers, are in excellent health.
RETRACT OF A LETTER FROM PENSACOLA, JULY 18. •
Yesterday, after a series of delays and disappoint-
ments, the American authorities were finally and for-
mally put in possession of this city, and the Barraccas,
and the dominion of the Floridas.

The widow of the late Emperor Cbristophe and her
two daughters arrived in the Downs yesterday in the
Missionary from Port=au•Prince.

Paris papers to the 13 inst. have arrived. Ac-
counts from Odessa, dated August 13, merely repeat
the pacific indications that had been previously ex-
pressed. A private letter from the lower Danube
dated Sept. 2, says that two days before the departure
of Baron Strogonoff, the Reis Effendi addressed a note
to the Russian embassy, and that M. de Strogonoff,
on being urged by the Ministers of the other great
powers consented to receive this note, which is of a
very pacific character. The note is said to be of the
highest importance, inasmuch as it contains new ex-
planations on each of the points stated in the Russian
ultimatum, and that it might be regarded in certain re-
speets as a commentary on the Ottoman declaration,
whiffs the Russian Minister refused to receive, and
which was addressed directly to the Emperor Alexan-
der. The only other article of importance these jour-
mils contain relative to any of the points at issue, is
that of the Austrian Observer, which, consistent with
the partiality it had always shewn towards the Turks,
has published a dispatch from the Turkish Governor of
the Mores, giving an account of the capture of Livadia
and the destruction of the greater part of that town,
after a desperate engagement, in which 30011 Greeks
are represented to have caused themselves to be hacked
to pieces, or to have been burnt in the houses. Of the
loss of the Turks on this occasion not a word is men-
tioned ; but the effect of the victory is said to have
been the entire submission of the district. Hence the
Austrian Observer conclades that the pacification of the
whole of those provinces must necessarily follow.—,

From what we have subsequently learnt, however,
we have no doubt that the loss of the Greeks at
Livadia, though severe, had been much exaggerated;
for instead of shew•iug the submission expected, they
appear to have made fresh efforts against their ty-
rants. By the Paella's despatch, we find that the
capture of Livadia took place in June ; and by the
accounts of advantages of a later date gained by
the Greeks in the Pelopenuesns, it is evident they
are still uosnbdned.

The resignation of Sir 110B2RT BARER is attempted
to be stated and accounted for to-day in a mode that
is totally inexplicable. " The citcomstances con-
nected with the change in the Magistrates of Bow-
street havt," says the Nero Times, " been grossly mis-
represented. We are authorised to say that the articles
in two of the Morning papers of yesterday". (The
Morals.: Post and Morning Herald, from which we
that teamr statement)" were extremely incorrect, and
there was, indeed, no troth in either of them, except
the mere statement of fact that Sir R. RARER did on
Wednesday resign his office. In consequence of this
resignation, Lord SIDIIOUTR on the following day.
communicated to Mr. BERN'S his intention of recom-
mending him to the KING, as Sir ROBERT RAKER'S
successor." The Morning Post of to-day says nothing
so the points in question ; but The Morning Herald
has the following paragraph, which will not fail
engage the attention of our readers. " There
was a slight inaccuracy in the statement which ap-
peered in yesterday's Herald, relative to Sir &URT
SAKIIR and the Magisterial arrangements consequent
span his resignation. His Majesty, it appears, never
fsupressed any opinion upon the subject; and the new
arrangement was no more Llama an official ace of the
Maass Department, with the usual sanction and raw
apassibility of the Executive Administration. Me
