fred few shots at the Constitution

lutte power, and marched off, pursued by
The national troops, who pushed as far as
Depajoan, and drove the factious from the
place. Wherever the latter have enter
ed, they have never stayed above "a
hours; they generally break the Stone
to pieces, cause the King with absolute
power to be sworn to, sing re Dcnm,
forbid the provincial militia to repair to
Ronda, whittier they have been ordered,
and demand contributions. In Xinena
they set two highwaymen at liberty 1t
is supposed that the whole gang consists
of less than 500 men. AG

NETWORK, SEPT. IS.
LATE FROM EUROPE.

The fine packet ship Amity, Captain
Maxwell, arrived at this port last even
ing, in So days from Liverpool. BY this
arrival the Editors OF the Commercial
Advertiser have received copious sup
ply OF London and Liverpool papers, the
iDrmer down to the evening OF the l4.h
Of August, and the lattlr to the 18th
both inclusive.
The most important intelligence fur
nlshed by this arrival, is the death Of the
Harquis Of Londonderry, ( late Lord
Castiereash) who committed suicide on
the morning OF the 18th oil August, by
opening an artery in his neck with pen
kaiie. From the time this melancholy
event was known until the sailing Of the
Amlty, i. entirely occupied the public
attention, almost to the exclusion even Of
the royal visit TO Scotland. We have
given below an abstract OF the coroner's
inquest as we find it in the Liverpool
Mercury. Had we given ii at length, as
il appeared in the London Courier OF the
IAN, i, would have occupied almost The
whole paper.
The insanity ofhis Lordship when he
committed the fatal deed, and for several
days previously, is clearly established.
Before his departure from London, he
was observed toebehave wildly at times,
and was careless and even slovenly IN
his dress and appearance. And on bis
return to his house the Friday preceding
his death, it was thought eHpedient to
keep every instrument by which he could
do violence TO his person, out OF his
reach. The small pen-kni(e, not more
than an inch long, escaped attention.
The King, previously 10 his departure,
was HE first 10 discover the change that
had taken place, and to communicate the
same TO Lord Liverpool. The King re-
marked in the last audience his Lord
ship had with him, that his conversation
was very incoherent; and His Majesty
Immediately wrote to Lord Liverpool
aboutit. Al the time ofcommit,ing the
act, his Lordship was making active pre-.
parations for proceeding to the continent,
in order to be present at the approaching
Congress. He had even appointed the
nextThursday for his departure, and a
steam-packet was engaged TO convey
himself and suite on that day to Calais.
4 Conjecture is already busy in finding q
successor for Lord Londonderry in the
cabinet. Some think Mr.. Peel will BIZ
4 the Foreign Secretary, and Mr.. Gran
succsedto Mr.. Peel. Others confident
> ly'assert tina, Sir Charles Stuart, Ambas

undoubtedly be a judicious one.

and presented memorial which aimed
at the destruction of our institutions and
the revolution of the state. This man,
well known as possessing seditious and
dissatisfied character, has evinced in thisS
circumstance that hewould stop short OF
nothing, when agitating conspiracy
against the government and the]pros-
peri,y of the Republic. This incendia-
ry memorial was read and listened to
with horror and contempt by great ma
jority of the members of the Chamber.
The people, having understood the con-
tents of the memorial, sailed forth in
crowds into different parts of the city
without any order from government, and
arrested citizens Dariour, Beranger, La
horde, Pierre, Andre, Noel, Piron, ST.
Martin, and St. Laurent. These men,
accused of conspiring agains, the go
vernment, have been conducted to the
prisons of the city, where they will have
a speedy trial. When that has taken
place, the public will be informed Of all
the particulars OF this unfortunate cir
cumstance.
CHARLESTON, SEPT. ID.
We learn from capt. Chasal, Of the
Caroline Ann, arrived yesterday morn
ing from Laguira and St. Thomas, that
it was reported at the latter place when
he left, that on the arrival at ST. Johns
porto Rico) of the wounded men from
the brig Panchta alias Palmyra, the
wouned man who had his leg amputated
was laid in the most public part Of the
city, for the purpore of exciting the po
pulace against the Americans in port,
who were in consequence compelled to
keep close, until the arrival OF The Unit
ed States sloop of war Cayane, Capt.
Spence, which happened two days after.
Capt. S. demanded the release of all
the American vessels that had been cap
turcd by Spanish cruizers, and stated
that he had orders to detain all such cruz
GERS which he might fall in with.
A Spanish brig arrived at st. Thomas
m the 5th inst. 10 short passage from
Laguira, and reported that Gen. Morales
who had advanced from Porto Cabello
to Lavencia, had again reireated to the
former place. A Spanish frigate, brig,
and schooner, were blockading Lagui-
ra.

French brig L'Azema, arrived yesterday

SPAIN.
The accounts from Spain are very
loose and contradictory. According to
The English and French Ministerial pa
pers, Instructions are daily breaking
out, and speedy and terrible bloody
conflict is inevitable. But the papers
more friendly to revolutions hold dill
ferent language.
THE GREEKS.
The most favorable accounts continue
to be received of this long oppressed and
interesting people. 1t appears from an
official account, published by the Greek
Admiralty, that The damage sustained i'll
the Turkish fleet by The fire ships, was
much greater than is represented in the
accounts previously received. Besides
the Captain Pacha's ship, three others OF
the line were burnt and sunk, and seven
frigates forced on shore, the crews OF
most of which perished. The victors
Immediately detached part of their
squadron 10 the succor Of Gambia, which
was in danger Of falling into the power
Of the Turks, and completely succeeded
in the enterprise. Napoh di Romania
had capitulated, and the Turkish garri-
son was to be transported in French and
English vessels. According to the re-
port Of the Turks themselves, their fleet
consisted of IS sail before the disaster a,
Scio, and alter it had been joined by the
expedition which left Constantinople Oh
the All of june On the 9TH OF July
there were only Is vessels; consequent
~ 90 were missing.
On the intelligence reaching Constan-
,inople Of the catastrophe Of the feet, il
was felt like an electric shock, il which
the Sultan and Divan participated; and
such was its effects on the inhabitants,
that the Grand Seignor is said to have or
dered some hundreds of the Greeks to
be publicly put to death, in order to pre-
vent the former from committing the
crime Of murder.
The English minister is stated to have
taken advantage the CONSERVATION, and
TO have proti;ted by the terror OF mo-
ment to obtain concessions. 1t is not
said, however, to what these concessions
related. That they could not refer to
the Greeks is evident from the circum-
stances just noticed, and also from the
barbarous cruelties which appear, by the
latest accounts, to be carrying on at Scio,
where the Turks continue to massacre
the inoHqnsive villagers. Thirty thou
sand, men, women, and children, are
stated to have been recently drowned,
burnt, OF led into slavery 79o of whom
were young women, between the. ages OF
Is and II, who were led to the market
at Smyrna, tied to string like brute
beasts. We arc glad to observe that the,
city of Edinburgh has led the example OF
opening subscription for the relief
generally Of tie suffering Greeks.
