LATEST FROM EUROPE

u
By the ship Factor, capt. Sheed, ar
rived at this port from Liverpool,
whence she sailed on the 30th October,
we have received Liverpool papers to
the 29th, and London to the 28th of the
same month, inclusive. They afford no
positive intelligence of moment. 1t will
be seen, by the extracts which we sub
join, that the Greek inSurrection wore
still an encouraging aspect. The tall
of the French stocks is important in
the cause to which it is ascribed, the ILL
ness of Louis XVIII. His death would
be attended with serious embarrass-
ments for the congress of Verona. No
official intelligence had been received
at London from that Congress. The
London Courier appears to give credit
to the Paris article which makes the
Emperor Alexander hold new and
strong language as regards the Turks.
That paper of the 24th October, denies
that 'sEngland is seeking to secure'to
itself the exclusive trade with Spain and
her former colonies" but adds
SAT the same time there is no Cos
vernment, nor any Statesman, in Eu-
rope, who is not convinced, that the Pc.
.licy Of Spain is to do that which seems
TO be dictated by sound wisdom and
prudence, to acknowledge that which
she has not the means of preventing
1.-The complete independence of her A
merican colonies. We have proved, s.
she would prove, that such an indepen-
dsnce would strengthen, rather than
weaken, her resources and prosperity
at home"
This language is diametrically oppo-
site to that which the Courier mas held
on the same subject, within the las ! 3
months. The palinode, as we'll as the
new conviction of every government
and every statesman in Europe, may
be ascribed chiefly to the recognition of
the Spanish American States by our
government.
The acc cunts from the Month of Spain
are contradictory. Advices >eFomsthe
South of France, stated that the Spa
nish constitutionalists were pushing
with great activity, Their preparations
for expelling the Roya!ists. 1t was
thought that the Constitutional army
in Catalonia, would amount to $4,000
effective men, before the end of Octo-'
Der.
The London Morning Chronicle of
the Goth of Oct; says-"Fhe Turks
are now driving once more from
the Peioponnesus aud they have been
beaten in a variety of engagements"
The Morning Chronicle contains
series of long letters from ''Tbe Ghost
of the Marques of Londonderry to the
Right Hon. George Canning"
From the Courier, Oct. 90.
We alluded lately to Decree of the
Portuguese Cortes, inviting speculative
Legislators to devise Civil Code of

was among the number. Mahmud
Dramali, native of Drama,) Pasha of
Thessaly, was made prisoner, with Sc
yeral Beys of the province, and Of Ma

my dispersed itself upon three different
points. A corps of about $500 men
gained the high road to Corinth, where
they were pursued. Another corps OF

desperate effort, to regain the road to

themselves into the mountains, whence
they eventually reached Corinth. A
third corps, the most considerable OF
all. and composed principally of Alba
mans. was unable, from its desperate
situation, to take any other course III n
10 precipitate itself on the route leading
to Tripolitza; oyertaken in its flight
between Agladocampes and the lake of
Lerne, il was attacked, and left on the
place more than 1000 men; the rest sur
rendered at discretion. In the number OF
prisoners was Ali Pacha, native OF NapolI
di Romania, and Vizier of Traccala, and
Asian DenZa, very enlerprising Alba
nian chief. The Turks in Cand;a have
also sustained several defeats. and have
been compelled 10 shut themselves up IN
the fortresses.
Account from Constantinople confirm
thu reports of a naval battle being tousht
between the Turks and the Greeks, in
which the latter were victorious, and cap
tured six of the Turkish vessels.
The Freuch papers contain curious
note, dated August 81, and said to have
been presented to the government OF the
Sublime Porte, by the British ambassador,
Lord Strangford This note comp Ialps
that several British subjects have claims
upon the property OF the Greeks, VINO
have fed from the fear of massacre.
These claims the Turks will not llqul'
! date, because, according to the Mahome-
| tan laws, maO's property cannot be
made answerable for his debts, unless HIM
self be present to admit the justice OF the
demands. Therefore," says the British
diplomatist to the court to which he is ac--
! credited, "recall these fugitive indebted
Greeks to their homes that my country"
men may be paid"
FRoNTIERs OF Mol DAvIA, Oct. 5.-The
last letters from Odessa confirm the &C.
count that Selim Pacha, with 10, 900 men,
! had gone over to the Persians F.; that seve-
raj severe actions ensued, in which the
! Turks were totally defeated, and lost all
their artillery.
The plague has made some progress IN
the course of the two last weeks, partlcu-
larly in the villages bordering on the ca
nal, and among the troops encamped near
Bujukdere. BaTa and Glata are not quite
free from it, but no case has yet appeared

The bill for the relief OF John Byers
was next taken up This bill proposes
10 allow to the petitioner the difference
between the par value of moneys advan>
ced by the government and such as we're
expended by him in the supply OF ralions
in Connecticut, DC. from June, 1914, to
May, 1915, and con6ning the allowance to
the actual loss in exchange.
On this bill a pretty wide debate took
place, embracing the general question OF
the equity of indemnify tor losses incurred
in time OF war The circumstances OF this
particular case to justify its being made an
exception TO the customary rules, &c. &c.
Messrs. Ruggles, Holmes, OF Maine, Nor.
ril, Lanman, Brown, OF Ohio, Brown, OF

part in the debate but, before any ques
ton was taken on it, the bill was laid over
