FROM FR.1NCE

York, on Friday last, from Havre. whence
she sailed on the lst ofJune. The follow
ing are the only items Of intelligence re-
celved by this arrival, which have not been
received by other vessels.
Notwithstanding the feigned submis.
sion OF the Turkish Diyan to the Declare
ton Of the Cabinet Of st. PETERSBURG. the
Turks, it is said, continue to victuai the
fortresses on the Danube as if war was
on the eve Of breaking out. The Russian
forces in Bessarabia, are also ready TO en-
ter upon a campaign.
The total receipts in France for the
benefit Of the Greeks, from the lst Of jan
uary to the 10Th May: amounted to 443,-
0J3 francs.
Napoli and Athens are both menaced by
the Turks and Egyptians. There is rea-
son TO hope q portion Of the garrison of
Missolonghi escaped. This hope is found
ed OIL the solcitude Of Ibraham to prevent
any communication with the coast lbra-
him had, according to the Journal des De-
bates, given orders to kill his prisoners,
and even unarmed peasants, in order to
complete the number of six thousand heads
and pairs of ears, that the Sultan had or.
dered him to send to Constantinope. II
appears he could not make up his number
at Missolonghi.
RUssA.-The Salem Gazette of Friday
contains the following extract of q letter
from st. Petersburg, dated May 81:
"The coronation of the present Emperor
is to take place at Moscow next month.
The serious affair ofthe 22d Dec. has caus-
ed very many Of the officers of the army
(of the first families in the empire) to be
arrested, and it is said more than a thou
sand are now confined in the castle of this
city: their fate is very uncertain. The
first battalion of the regiment of guards a.
mounting to more than 10000, and COM
manded by Colonel, set off few days
since for Moscow. After forced march
of two days the commander ordered the
men to be drilled, which they refused.
lie then attempted to force them, upon
which they shot him dead upon the spot,
and afterwards cut him to pieces with their
swords. Affairs at present are in very
unsettled state, and well informed men
predict something serious before a great

FRoM RIVER OF PLATE. We have ad-
vices from Montevideo to May 18th receiv-
ed here by the Plato. They state, that a.
bout the 10th April, the Buenos Ayrean
squadron, under Admiral Brown, (an A.
merican) consisting of a frigate of26 guns,
and two corvettes flS guns each, appear
cd offthc harbor of Montevideo, when the
Brazilian frigate Netheroy, of 40 guns COM
manded by Capt. Norton, IAN Englishman)
Immediately set sail to attack them that an
action commenced, within short distance
ofthe town, between the Netheroy and two
of the Buenos Ayreans, which continued
nearly three hours, when night coming on
the Brazilian returned 10 port, having six
feet of water in her, and having had thirty
men killed, and 20 wounded, including in
the latter two Lieutenants THAT Admiral
ownreturned to Buenos Ayres, and on
his voyage, captured six Brazilian trans
ports.
That on the night of the 1st May, Admi-
raj Brown again appeared off the port, and
having taken an advantageous position, at
tackled the Brazilian ship Imperatrice, of
90 guns, (Which was lying about two miles
to windward Of the rest Of the Brazilian
squadron for thirty minutes, within pistol
shot, and so completely dismantled her,
that she was unable to get under way, and
killed and wounded many of her men, a.
mongst the former was the captain. When
the Plato sailed, the Brazilian feet, con-
sistng of five large frigates, 2 corvettes,
five briggs, and thirty schooners and gun
boats, az in ALL were at the mouth of the
harbor of Montevideo- Bos. Centinel.
Blockade ofthe Riperof Plate. The Bra
ziians are said to have above forty vessels
of war employed in the blockade ofthe Rio
de la Plata, and that new Admiral has
been sent out to enforce it, and TO attack
the Buenos Ayrean squadron in the roads
of its capital. Accounts say, the blockade
has heretofore been very loosely conduct
ed, and that vessels have sailed up and
down the river without seeing any oft he
blockading squadron. The river is so miles
wide at Montevideo, and about 80 at Blu.
enos Ayres. Whether a river Of this
width can be considered by the American
and other neutral nations as being actually
bioekdded by the force employed, or the
blockade be declared TO be a proper one,
the respective cabinets ofthose nations will
unquestionably determine, after full and
impartial investigation and it need not be
doubted, that while they will pay due re-
spect 70 the right of belhgerents, they will
be as assiduous to give full protection TO
legal neutral trade.-[Ib.
