Propositions for a surrender of this place, had been made by tho Turk ish garrison of Coron and Mod an, but the terms had been rejected by the Greeks. The Turkish ships which were cruizing in the neigh borhood of Missolunghi. fled on the appearance of a considerable Greek fleet. The Greek government has directed an expedition to be organ ized without delay, to proceed a gainst the Turkish forts on the north side of the Gulf of Lepanto. The inhabitants of the Gulf of Voio, have again raised the standard of insurrection, and have cut to pieces some Turkish corps, who had mar ched against them.

From the London Pourie , Jail. 12, We mentioned a few days since, that K- cn h troops ii id been embar ked at Brest for the West Indies, and that our Ambassador at the French Court bad received explan ations on the subject. We hope he will also be in a situation to furnish satisfactory explanations to his gov ernment of the maritime armaments that have been preparing without noise in the same port. Captain Spence arrived at Davenport from Brest, whence he sailed on the 3d, has furnished some information of consequence. He arrived at that port ia October, with a cargo of timber, &o. for the royal marine yard, and consequently remained in port nearly two months. In that time, fourteen foreign vessels, (Uus sians, Prussians, and Swedes,) dis charged cargoes of hemp, tallow, timber, boards, and in fact every species of naval munitions, which were deposited in the -urseuals at Brest, hi very thing breathed a spir lit of extraordinary activity ; the workmen in the yards even wotted or Sunday, £ ‘ > ■ ‘Ye do not wish to excite alarm, and least of all false alarms; but we have not forgotten what happen ed a year ago, when the French go vernment gave us the most satisfac tory assurances of pacific intentions, and at the same time the King in firmed Furope, that he was going to s**ad the Duke d’Aogouleme into Spain at the head of one hundred th< usaad men. It it true however, thar we were not the dupes of what w\is going on, and were accused by every bdy for having constancy maintained, that war was inevita ble. From these cir-urostanees, and other not less powerful considera tions, we are constrained to say, that we should not be surprised to see developed, in the spring 0f1524, i projects not during much in prin ciple from these whi**b signalized (lie commencement of 1823. Thi* is simply our opinion, and as we gave it relative to the war with Spain, now submit it to our mulcts, with the grounds on which if rests, leaving them to draw their own eoncltioioDß.

The Porte has laid such restric tions upou foreign vessel 1 - going up the llla> k Sea, that all that coni rnerve is stispr oded. ihe Turks shew great unwillingness to permit any intercourse between foreigners and ‘be Russians. Si C’ the return of the Ottoman fleet, the Greeks have re-commen ced the blockade of all the ports occupied by the Turks on the isl ands on the coast of Asia Minor, and have already taken a great number of Turkish merchant ves sels, which they have declared free plunder, and among them are. some very rich cargoes, Macedonia is nearly free from Oi t oman troops. The Courier says that indirect measures are taking to dethrone Bernadotte. A naval expedition is preparing at Constantinople against the Greeks : hut it is believed it will never leave the port. From English Ppcs, The London Times men ions that accounts had been received of the embarkation of 1800 men at Brest —lGOl> for Martinique aud 800 for Guadaloupe. The French Admiral recently returned from the West In dia station reports that eomplee a nareby reigns in all the South A mecioan States, but that among all the partisans none advocated the sovereignty of Ferdinand or submis sion to Spain. This opinion togeth er with the speech of Mr. Monroe, is said to have greatly cooled the ardor of the party in the French cabinet disposed to assist Spaiu in regard to her colonies. FROM LIMA. A friend lias favored us with the following extract <f a letter dated Lima, 3d Oct. [JY\ T. Mer. Mv. “ You are aware of the circum stance of Riva A guexo having dis* solved (he Congress in Truxillo, which act, added to his continued resistance, inav be considered one of the most unfortuna c occurrences in the history of the revolution. Should lie persevere in (he part he lias taken, the combined efforts which are now making for the lib oration f Pe**u, will he greatly par alised, and its emancipation from the Spanish yoke, which might have been looked upon as almost accom plished. may now be retarded for some time. “ I have the pleasure of inclosing a translation of Bof:var’s letter to Riva Aguexo. This letter had no effee:, as the bearer of it has re turned. open war has been declared by the Congress against Rtva A guexo. A second commission has however been sent to him yesterday; and it is sincerely to be hoped that some favorable arrangement will take place, that f he geuerous efforts of Colombia, headed by her brave Liberator Bolivar may be finally crowned with success. Lima. v eptembeu4, 1823. To Sr. D o Jose Biva Aguexo, ♦‘.ll?/ Dear Fiirnd —fci is with infinite pain that 1 have to address you on a matter the most unpleas ant, and at the same time the most momentous which can occur ia the life of a public character. “ It is unnecessary at this period to enter into au investigation of the cause of difference between yourself and i he Congress, or even to analyze the character of it. The fa *t is, van are now at open war with the National Representation of your eountry. The Representative As sembly was ;ouYoked,by ihe feua- der of its liberty, and has been ac knowledged by the public authori ties and people of Peru. Y*u your self owed y our elevation to the Pre sidency to this Assembly. It is therefore beyond all doubt that the authority of a b>dy ele ted by the nation, ca never he annulled by a ny individual of whatever rank he may be; and much les* by you who was one of the principal agents in (he establishment of popular repre sentation, and to which, as Presi dent, you have solemnly taken the oath of obedience. In fact, mv friend, the principle I believe, does not admit of discussion : let us see what will be the result of a line of conduct in opposition to it. •* Bonaparte iu Europe, and Itur bide iu America, were the most ex traordinary men, each in his sphere, which modern history presents to the world. Although benefactors of their country, and promoters of its national independence, they have been unable to escape ruin merely on account oi their political sacri lege in profaning the temple of the laws and the sanctuary of social rights. You to this have added the most scandalous outrage on the per sons of your Ministers. I hiuk you cannot be iosetiftible to the united clamors of indignation excited a moogst ail classes of men at what took place in TruxMlo, and which believe me,* is the blackest stain that has sullied the revolution of Ameri ca: consequently you can expect nothing but maledictions in this country am) disapprobation in Eu rope, I, notwithstanding, make you a tender of my friendship, and offer you all the protection which my situation cap afford. If you are inclined to accept my good offices, Col. Urdaneta and Mr. Gsldeaoo jure authorized to accommodate matters with you as well as with those who are acueg u tder you in l!iis hoHWe affair. The ruin of Peru is inevitable should the acceptance of these gen erous offers he delayed ; by your refusing them you can expeot noth ing but the slavery of your country, and your execration by every Am erican.—Public opiniou will be so decidedly expressed against you, that not even in your own con- science will you be able to find an asylum. That you or your parti san can ever rule in Lima, is out of the question. One and all of us will become tho avengers of Peru; nor, if the enemy again subjects your country to the Spanish yoke, can you,even in ihii3 ease, obtain what you aspire after. Finally, rest assured, that for tune can alter (he principles of na tural order which you hnve trampled upon, and this affair will prove a source of remorse which will ac company you to the grave. * Have the goodness, my friend, to pardon (he frankness of my expo sition. Having been actuated by no uuworlhy personal motive, but con stituted the head of an Independent State, I could not, without failing to my duty, remain silent on the Subject of your conduct, which at (he present unhappy period may produce incalculable mischief to America. On the other hand, I cannot forget what you have done for America, and particularly for Peru, of whose country you were the saviour.” BOLIVAR. The Canadians seem to have ta ken the alarm at the intimations contained in the Message of the President of the United Stales to Cougress, in which tho freedom of the navigation of the St. Lawrence is referred to. On the 6th instant, in the Legislative Council of the Parliament of Cower Canada, reso lutions were adopted, for an Ad dress to the Governor in Chief, re monstrating,io strong terms, against the admission of this right to the Uoited Stales, &c. and also against a decision of the Commissioners un der the Treaty of Ghent, awarding to the Uoited States Barnhart’s Island, above Cornwall, in Upper Canada, “whereby,” say the reso lutions, “no practical channel of dtsoent for boats, rafts, or other conveyances by water, is left on tha British side of that liver,aud there fore the communication is placed at the meroy of the said States”—all which matters the Governor is in treated to lay before his Majesty’s Ministers. When an Address was presented, ho wever, by the comm it tec, pursu ant to the resolutions, it was oppo sed, upon grouuds which are slated iu the following summary : ‘•The sense of the House, gener* ally appeared opposed to any inter ference in the negotiations stated to be going on between Mi* Majesty's Government and the United States, unless that it should fj? manifestly made apparent, (hat the particular interests of the Colony were likely to be injuriously affected by the re sult, The allowing (lie fee navi gation of the Sf. Lawrence to tlio United States, did not, it was said, appear to threaten (lie Colony with any disadvantages, hut quite tho contrary. The increased prosperity of (he Province in ISO 9 and 1810, when a great portion of the trade of the country on the waters of (lie St. Lawrence, within the United States, passed through the Si. Lawrence, was insianccdas a proof of the good effects likely to result to the country from a free navigation of the SL Lawrence by the Americans. The idea of danger to the loyalty of the people, from a greater freedom of trade and increased prosperity, was treated with severity. The danger to the Revenue, it was maintained, oould be easily avoided, as the sov ereignty belonged to Great Britain. On the other hand, the ease of New Orleans ; the ambition which the United States had shewn to extend their territory, wa§ cited.

PIRACY. In the early p*rt of June, I sail ed from Philadelphia in the schoon er Mary, on a voyage to New Or leans, My principal object in going round by sea, was the restoration of my health, wliich had been for ma ny months declining.—Having tome friends in New Orleans, whose com mercial operations were conducted on an extensive scale, I was char ged with the care of several sums of money in gold and silver, amoun ting altogether to nearly eighteen thousand dollars This I commu oated to the captain, and we conclu ded to secure it in the best manner our circumstances would admit. A plank was accordingly taken off the ribs of the schooner in my own cab in, and the money being deposited in the vacancy, the plank was nailed down in its original place, and the seams filled and tarred over. Being thus relieved from any apprehension that the money would he found upon is, in case of any attack from pi -1 yates, my mind was somewhat casi i er. What other articles of value I could conveniently carry I did so. I had also brought a quantity of bank notes to the amount of fifteen thousand dollars. Part of these I caused to be carefully sewed in the left lappel of my coat, supposing that iu ease of my being lost at sea, my coat, should my body he found, would still contain the most valuable of my effects. The balance was quilted in my black siik cravat. Our crew consisted of tlie captain sod four men, with a supply of live stock for he voyage, and a Nevy fouudlat.d dog, valuable for his fi. delity and sagacity. He had once laved his master from a watery grave, when lit had been stunned and knocked overboard by the sud den shifting of the boom. I was the only passenger on board, Our voy age at first was prosperous, and time went on rapidly. I felt my strength increaso the longer 1 w*s [No. 11
