Phenix gazette. [volume] (Alexandria [D.C.]) 1825-1833, 1825-09-13

York, from France, OF Friday last, bringing
Paris papers to the 3Ist July, inclusive. The
following extracts embrace the substance Of
every thing that is interesting.
Spain continues in a state Of agita-
ton and distress. Great discomfort
prevails in some Of the provinces, and
the coasts are swarming with Colon
bian p~riva,eers. The. brig Aguila a
lone, commanded by Capt. Anderson,
has taken s5 Spanish prizes; and the
whole number Of vessels they had lost
at the close of June, are said to exceed
500.
The drought continues excessive,
particularly in the neighborhood of Pa
ris. Butter has risen there 10 sous a
pound; vegetables have almost disap-
peared from the market, and there is a
great scarcity of food for cattle. From
observations made at Strasburgb, it
appears that the temperature this sea-
son has correspondent with that of 1871,
which produced wines Of the most ex-
c%ellent quality.
Spain is initiating England, but not
in her best examples. We learn from
Iran that impressments are going on in
all Galicia, and that the men impress.
ed are put into prison until they can be
sent beyond sea. Transports are ex-
pec;ed to take them away, and two
ships of war are waiting at Ferrol to
convey them. Persons of liberal OPT
Mons are chiefly impressed. This is
the perfection Of the qualification
system.
Subscriptions in favor of the Greeks
had been opened in different parts Of
France.

marked that .Agens de Change, who, du-
ring the whole month had %speculated
upon the fall, bought up again consi-
derable to-day, which leads to a suppo-
sition that no further fall will take
place this month. The 5 per Cents.

UNMARRIED.
Letters from the Mediterranean OF
the 9Th Of July, state that the Greek
c~ruizers have surprised a Turkish des-
patch vessel, having on board secret in
structions for the Captain Pacha. 1t
is also reported that this great admiral
has been recalled to Constantinople,
and that the Captain Bey had orderst to
take command of the fleet. The chiefs
Of the Ottoman Navy were severely re.
primanded for their conduct, and or
dered to repair immediately to Patras
to second the movements Of Reschid
Pacha. These dispatches, which have
been sent to the Greek Admiralty at
Hydra, will it is said, be published
The Greeks keep a vigilant eye on the
ports Of Gambia, and reinforce the sta
tons in that latitude, in order,o obtain
the mastery, at all events, of the en-
trance to the Gulf of patras and the
coasts Of Etolia. Husseim Bey, pur-
sued by Meaules, has taken refuge in
Gambia. The Greeks have also pos
sessed themselves Of number oftrans-
ports from Alexandria. Ibrahim Pa
cha, in making a descent upon Tripo-
LIZA, has had some detachments cut in
pieces. In fne,M de Minziaky has in
formed the Refs Effendi that the Rus
sian Minister M. de Rlbeaupierre, will
not set out for Constantinople until the
Divan shall have executed all the sti-
pulations of the treaty of Bucharest
1t is understood hat the Porte has de-
clared to the Christian Ministers that
it would by no means recognize their
intervention in the affairs of the Greeks.
Extract of a private letter Of the 18th
inst. from Madrid:-"AlI the troops in
garrison were under arms throughout
the night of the 18th, in consequence,
it is said, of a communication having
been made to the Minister Of War, that
the royalist volunteers had the inten-
ton of renewing their excuses, and
that they were to set out by burning
down their barracks, in order to accuse
the negroes with having done it. 1t is
rumoured that the Marquis d'Almena-
ra, Minister of the Finance under King
Joseph, is about to be appointed to that
post. The Ukras take care
to set on float various reports. A
mong others, it is bruited that the IN
QUESTION will be substituted for the &C
tual system of police, and that King
will abdicate in favor of his
brother Don Carlos. Every thing,
say, is prepared to that effect, as
well in Foreign Courts as in the Palace.
The heat continues insupporiable.--
The King has expressed his approba.
