The Baron of Renfrew, got under

river ST. Lawrence opposite the falls OF
Montmorenci, on the 2Sd of August, in
tow Of ,he steamboat Hercules. The
tide was strong against her, but the
wind was favorable; and with the aid oil
her canvass and the tow boat she made
good way. She is a ship of handsome
model; is $500 tons burthen, has four
masts and a flush deck fore and aft
Nine times around her is a mile. She
is loaded entirely with slaves, boards,

The following extract of a letter, dated ID
May, 1925, from a highly respectable Ship
Master at Valparaiso, to a commercial house
in THIS place, contains information new and
interesting, although not so late as we have
had through other channels.
81 am extremely sorry to say I have come
to a market glutted with every kind of pro-
duce. In fact there is no sale for any thing
Tobacco, segars, wines, teas, spirits and
cards, are a monopoly granted by this govern
ment to a company for 10 years-consequent.
ly they are the only purchasers, and offer their
own terms and prices, and no other persons
are allowed to purchase under forfeiture of
ship and cargo. The concerns of this COM
pany are in so bad a way, that their paper is
at a large discount, and they make no purcha-
SEES except on credit; at present they do not
feel disposed to buy. 1t supposed by many
that it is their intention to give UP the mono
poly-divide their stock of goods, and swindle
their creditors; and there is no law here to
compel people to pay their debts. This mo-
nopoly concern has been but a short time in
operation and has excited universal disgust
There is no stability in the government, nor
in their existing laws-their tariff is altered
almost every month, and the new alterations
are put in operation without any previous no.
tice-This creates so much distrust, that conf
dence is lost, and no one purchases more than
satisfies his immediate wants. The present
rates of duties are 40 per cent. on their own
valuation-They even make our ships of war
submit to their custom-house regulations
send all their stores ashore to undergo an ex-
animation by their custom house officers, and
pay i transit duty of domestic cottons they
have no knowledge, preferring the coarsest
fabricks of India TO them-I had but two Of
fers for those we had on board, neither of
which would cover the original cost. The fri
gate United States was here on my arrival, but
has since sailed for Callao. l delivered no.
thing on board her, except a small quantity Of
bread and -four the balance of the United
States stores, will be landed here

states, that the mortality was dreadful.
although not more than 100 inhabi-
tants remained in it. The Bank was
moving on that day. Among the recent
deaths, were Mr.. Dunning. Mrs. Batrie
and Mr.. Merritt. Among the sick,
Messrs. Bright, Mills, Ogden, LedyaId,
two Mr.. Reas, and Mr.. Robertson's Ia
mily. The following is from the Mo
bile Register of the 9th.
"The Board ofHealth very promptly
on Tuesday last, proclaimed the exis-
tencc Of malignant fever in this city,
and recommended the citizens to re-
move The alarm Immediately spread
and the inhabitants acting very wisely
began TO leave, and during the week
the cily became almost depopulated.
Most or all the public Offices are re-
moved out of town during the exis-

Office is removed to Mr.. Chamberlain's

Halls House on the same road. The
Mayors Office to Mr.. Williams place

the County Court, MI. Rolston, has re-
moved his Office to his house at Spring

"The Board Of Health have made no
report this week, in consequence Of the
confusion created by so general a re-
moval, and the indisposltion of the
clerk. The number Of deaths since our
last are, however, supposed to have
been 25 to 3O-but we understand the
number of cases have not increased

GEN. WILKINSON-TEXAs.

We have seer a letter from General
Wilkinson, dated at the city of Mexico,
Just received by a gentleman of this
place, in which he states that he has
procured a grant for a large tract OF
land i'll the province of Texas, and
wishes to settle it with a body of hon.
est and well disposed Americans. The
inducements which he holds out to E.
migrants are very liberal and advanta-
geous.
The General contemplates establish
ing a Colony, either at the Bay Of Tri-
nifty, 40 miles from Galveztown, or at
Crows Ferry, on the Sabine river, As
miles from Natchitoches, and expects
TO commence his operations in Sep
TENDER next.
General Wilkinson has devoted the
greatest part Of his life to the service
Of his native country, and is now reluc-
family Obliged, in his old age, to change
his allegiance, by emigrating to a TO-
reign land, in order to make provision
for his numerous family.
We sincerely wish him prosperity
and happiness in his declining years
and, although we have always been OPP
posed to the blind infatuation which
has led hundreds of American citizens
L emigrate to Texas, we hope those
who may join him, may meet with bet
ter success Than has fallen TO the lot of

ISLAND OF. HYDRA, AUG. 12. 1925.

lolAANO Or. h1DhAi Aug. lZs 1910.
About the lst of June, the affairs OF
Greece were at as low an ebb as her
enemies could wish, but from tina: time
TO this, her prospects have been grow
ing brighter, and now we can dare to
hope again.
To oppose the enemy, Greece has a
horde of men, not deserving the name
of regular force, the number of whom
is continually varying, A fortnight ago
there were assembled round Trippoliz-
"a, $4,000 strong; now there are not
more than 5000; in another fortnight it
will probably be 12 or $4,000 again.
The general, who is TO day followed by
5000 men, may, in week, find himself
with only his personal attendants; over
the others he has no tenure they go
where and when they will. Demetrius
Ypsilauti, who so bravely distinguished
himself during the first and most bloody
part of the struggle, remained at his
house, quiet spectator, during the
more prosperous periods, again arous-
ed himself upon the invasion by the
Arabs, and was the first who successfully
opposed them. After the retirement of
the enemy from Argos to TrippoIizza.
Ypsilanti followed them with about
1000 men and had several brushes with
them.
Colocotroni, as he becomes better
acquainted with his enemy, manages his
cards more adroitly. A letter from one
of his officers dated Aug. 3, informs me.
that lbrahim Pacha had by various ma
neuvres, endeavoured to draw him from
his rocky position; but being unable to
do it, he turned the mountain, by a
circuitous route, and marched off with
the principal part Of his army towards
Patras; however, few hours convinc-
ed him Of his mistake, for he was so
holly received by the inhabitants of
Caritena and its neighbourhood, that he
was obliged to fall back again upon
Trippolizza. On the fifth of the pres
ent month he was still at Trippolizza I;
but il appears he was preparing for an
attempt upon Mistra. Colocotroni's po-
sition'is now at st. Petro. hear moth
ing said about the plans Of Ibrahim Pa
cha; nor do the Greeks seem to trouble
themselves with calculating whether he
will continue any length of time at Trip
polizza; or move on to MissoloRghi, or
