New-York, Sept. 14.
We are indebted to Copt. Noyes, ol
the fist sailing brig White O.tk, lor a

left Gibraltar on the 7th lor l’orl Mahon,

Cipt. Noyes informs that official in
telligence have been received at the dif

of the Greek fleet—who contincd suc

seem likely to be serious.
Outlie UlhofJuly the Portuguese Cor
tes laid an additional impost duty of 15 per
cent on British Woolens. The Bri

declared they were not convinced by his
reasoning, although they wished to see
all the diplomatic discussions which had
taken place.
Before this affair is adjusted Gen.

GlRRALTAR, Aug. 3.
The king of Portugal has disapprov
ed of all that has been done by the
Prince Regent of Brazil ; contrary to
the bases of the constitution.
August 0.—On the 17th of last month,
the Portuguese Cortes declared mill and
void the Decree of the Government ol
Rio Janeiro, calling together the Repre
sentatives ol brazil, and ordered, itiai
the execution thereof should he sus
pended in the provinces where they
have begun to carry it into effect.
From Gibraltar.—We yesterday mor
ning received a letter from a friend on
board the United States’ ship Constitu
tion, dated Gibraltar, August 1, giving
an account of the cruise of that vessel
from Alcssina, via Smyrna. We gather
the following particulars:
[.V. Y. Com. .Ur.]
The Constitution sailed from Messiua
.on the 11th of July, for Smyrna, the cor
vette Ontario, and schr. Nonsuch in |
company—these three composing our
squadron in the Mediterranean. They
entered the Archipelago on the IGth,
and arrived at Milo on the 17th. Here
they took a Greek pilot to carry them
to Smyrna. In the night they perceived
at some distance a head a pretty large,
fire, and in about thirty minutes, they
heard a great explosion. Next day
(tilth) they met an Austrian brig ; sent
her a boat, and at her return they were
informed that the Captain of the brig had
been stopped by the Turkish fleet, com
posed of from thirty-six to forty ships,
and then in view, of w liicli ten or twelve
were battle ships, or frigates, by whom
the captain of ihe brig had been badly
treated, and wounded in several places
with daggers. On this information, our
commodore, Capt. Jones, turned the
ships, and followed the bng, which hav
ing continued her way, was already at
some distance. Our squadron soon
reached her, and having again sent a
boat on board, brought her captain, w ho
repeated to our commodore ttie bad
treatment I10 had received from the
Ttnks. He also related, that the pre
cecding evening a party of the Greeks
had taken two lire ships, full of combus-
libles, with which they had aimed at set
ting lire to the two admiral ships of the
Turkish fleet ; tc that only one of them
had succeeded; that this had been so exe
cuted,that in a few minutes theshipbe
jog that of the Captain I’acha, w.as in a
blaze, and had been blown up ; and that
that was the explosion which was heard
the preceding nigh'. It was on CO gun
ship with a crew of 3000 men, of which
about 300 were saved, the rest having
been blown to atoms with the ship. The
captain, who gave thi- information, was
then carried on hoard his brig. Shortly
previous, the boats of our squadron pi'k-
cJ up several fragments of (lie vessel,
and among other things, a beautiful bed
quilt, whirl) it was supposed had belong
ed 10 ihe Captain Pacha, and which our
< momodo.-e. apprehending it might com-
innnicate the plague, ordered to be
thrown overboard. It was picked up
again Lv the Nonsuch. The Ontario
jacked up a trunk of clothes. From

Grecian pilot ; and on Ihe 2d of July
proceeded for Malta. Remained there

then sailed for Gibraltar, where Ihe

From the Gobi Const Gazelle, May 21.
We have the high gmlificalion of an*
nnuncing the return to this anchorage of II
M. frigate Iphigenia, Coin. It Mends, from
a brilliant and suece-sfnl cruise to Ihe river
Bonny, having captured six slave vessel*
with no less than 1658 slaves on hoard
The captured vessels have been sent to
Sierra Leone for adjudication. We under
stand front the best authority that the boats
of the Iphigenia and Myrmidon, under Ihe
command of Lieut. Alildmay, met with
great resistance ; the slave vessels were so
moored across the river that they present
ed a formidable battery, and although the
English colours were displayed in the boats,
the brutal and piratical slave dealers opened
a lire upon them, which they incessantly
kept up, till vanquished by the intrepidity
anil bravery of our tars.—The Iphigenia
and Myrmidon had each one man killed,
and several severely wounded ; Ihe loss 011
the side of the iniquitous slave dealers was
very great; many of them leapt overboard
and were instantly devoured hy the sharks.
We regret to say, that a few of the
slaves, w ho were on the decks of the slave
Vessels, ihoinii 111. uotion, were ueverely
wounded, and a poor female lost belli legs,
and another her right arm. The Myrmi
don was afterwards sent to Ihe river Cala
bar, where it is fully expected she will fall
in w ith some more of these robbers of the
population of Africa. The Morgiana cap
tured off Lagcs, a Partugue.su slave vessel,
with 142 slaves.
It is scarcely four months since the gal
lant commodore arrived on the western
shores, and in that short period he has cap
tured eight slaves vessels, with 1856 slaves.
A few days ago a Portuguese slave vessel
was seen at anchor off’ Winnehah.
We have Jus! heard of another Portu
guese slave vessel at anchor off’ Commends.
[The Iphigenia has since arrived in the
West Indies, on her way to England.]
The Greek Prince Yrsit.ANTi who
was the first to rai-e the standard of re

Navy Island, in tlie Niagara River, is
secured lo his Majesty.
Grand B land, in tlie Niagara, is of no
moment as a military position ; and,
considered merely as territory, 1* not so
valuable rs lias been imagined : allhough
its banks are good soil, its interior is a
»wamp. We can well conceive the ne
cessity of allotting ihi* Island to the
United States, in order to give them an
extent even approaching to an equiva
lent for the large and fine Islands appor
tinned to his Majesty ; as the other
Grand Island (before Kingston) alone
contains nearly half, in area, of all the
islands named in the decision between
St. Regis and hike Erie. It is to be re
marked, that such islands as do not lie in
the middle of waters through which the
boundary passes, arc not specified by
name in the decision, but are only gene
rally mentioned, as decided to belong to
that nation to whose shore they are in
greater proximity, lying between the
same, ami the middle of the waters
which has been fixed as (tie line.
In respect to Lake Erie, there i« a
fair channel between Point Peter, (on
the Canada Shore) aud I’ele Island, ad
mitting a draft far beyond what is capa
hie of passing tlie outer bar at Detroit
river, which can he the only destination
of Bi itish vessels navigating up the L ike;
and it is close, to the British island of l’e-
le, as before mentioned. This bring
the case, no loss can be sustained by the
command of the channel near Cunning
ham Island, being entirely w ithin the A-
merican waters. We have always been
of opinion in this Province, that a claim
on the part of his Majesty to that island
and to the Bass Islands, which latter
forma fine harbor, could never he sup
ported ; in consequence, besides other
reasons, of their contiguity to the shore
of the United States, and their remote
ness from the Canada Main.
Isle Bois Blanc, in Detroit river, is
the most important island on the whole
frontier, for the defence and protection
of Canada. It is appropriated to his .Ma

lectly satisfied with the result, and al
low that even a more favorable line has
been obtained, as respect* Great Britain,
than was expected hy the most san
guine.
1 will add a Bmv remarks in support
of this opinion, examining the line in
continuity, from the commencement of
it near St. Regis.
Cornwall Island, the first which is
contiguous to this boundary, has been
determined to hi* Majesty. This Is

Fourth Alaniton, with all their smallar

priated to Great Britain, the line being
conducted, a* you will preedve, to the

I venture to give these opinions thus
frankly and decidedly, from my own per
sonal observation, during the late war,
of the territories in question, and from
the repeated expression of the same sen
timents which 1 have heard from those
in authority.
Without recurring particularly to the
territory which this commission has de
termined to the United States, I must
add, that the boundary which has been

qually divided, Dr. Bronaikui. ((he t’resi-
ent) gave the casting vote against the mo

Candidate.'’ Are the people of FI riil.i
to he treated in this way, after the so
lemn promises which have been made, to
extend to them, as far as practicable,
the in-titulions and laws of the United
Slates ? Such a grant of power to the
military is as ahhorrant to ||ip spirit ol
our government, a* we presume to say,
it is unprecedented, except in the purest
military despotisms. No where hut in
Alcicr*. have the soldiers maintained an
influence equally paramount. We an
however, given to understand, that the

indeed, if the people of Florida are to re
main under the iron rod of milit iry rule;
& if they are to continue the sport of un
substantial shadows, while the blessings
of real liberty are denied them. After
ivhat 1* above stated, our readers will
not expect to be tnld that Dr. Bronaueli,
