” The Duplicate Letters, the Fishk*
hies, and the Mississippi.—Docu
ments relating to transactions at the
Negotiation of Ghent. Collected by
John Quincy Adams, one of the Com
missioners of the United States at that
Negotiation"—Published this day, by
Davis and Force.
Amulet the war of political elements
that nrn brought into union to decide
the Conflicting claims of the several Can
didates for the next Presidency, we are
^his day presented, on the part of the.
Secretary of State, with a m iss of mat
ter, in the shape of a respectable sized
octavo volume of 25G pages, in relation
to certain charges “ industriously circu
lated iti the Western Country” against
him for attempting to barter away the
navigation of the Mississippi for the
Fisheries. The work comprises a sys
tematic arrangement of all the papers,
official or otherwise, relating to this di
plomatic dispute, up to the present hour,
with a “ primary intention” to prove—
1 That ton principle assumed by this Ame
rican mission nt Ghent, at the proposal of
Mr. Clay, ami iu a paragraph drawn up by
him, that the rights &. liberties of the peo
ple of the U. S. in the North American fishe
ries, were not abrogated by the War of 1812,
was a just and sound principle, entirely
conformable to the law of nations.
C That the article first offered by Mr. Galla
tin, which was not proposed to the Bri
tish plenipotentiaries, and the amendment
to the 8th article of tile project also offer-
cd by Mr. Gallatin, which was actually
proposed to the British plenipotentiaries,
und by them rejected, was only u decla
ratory recognition of Ihat same principle,
applied to British right of navigating the
Mississippi, as well as to our fishery rights
and liberties.
ff. That, considered even on the narrow
ground of conflicting sectional interests,
this article aud amendment proposed to
place the Last and tile West in the same
state as before the war, without gain to
the one or loss to the other.
•4 That the objection, by the minority, a-
gainst the article and amendment, insist
ed, in principle, upon the sacrifice of an
eastern for the benefit Of n Wc.lom inte
rest.
0. Hint the Eastern interest to be sacrificed,
was of very great importance to the U-
nion, and of vital magnitude to the stnte
of Massachusetts ; w hile the Western in
terest, for which it was to be immolated,
was altogether speculative and imaginary.
It was most truly, denominated, bv the
member of the mission now no more, brag
ging a million against a cent.
In the concluding put t of (he Intro
ductory Remarks, Mr. Adams puts the
controversy on this fooling : Speaking
of the minority of the Ghent mission he
says—
“ If by tbe sturdiness of their adherence to
•Jieir opinions, they had prevented the propo
sal from being made, there might have been
some semblance of a claim to credit Iroin those
Who tremble at the sigh of an Englishman alloat
upon the Mississippi. If the enoiny had ea
gerly snatched at the offer, and British emissa
ries, British smugglers, ami Indian wars, had
sivurmpd unnn ns. i». the minori
ty might have hud some apology, for disengag
ing their responsibility to the act, and ending
upon their colleagues of the majority, all its evil
report.—But so far as the proposal could pos
tiljly have opperated mischief, they tire an
swernble for it by their concurrence. So far
as the immediate rejection of the proposal by
a clear-sighted enemy, can test its possible con
sequences, tile event affords as little cause for
the minority to glory in their foresight, as their
assent to what they thought so pernicious, gives
them reason to be proud of their firmness. A
loud call upon the nation to discriminate be
tween tiie profound wisdom nnd comprehen
sive patriotism of the minority, and die tini
ness, absurdity, and contracted spirit, or treach
ery, of the majority, could scarcely rest on
weaker grounds, than upon the aversion of the
minority to principles which they neverthe
less did sanction; and upon their arguments
against measures to wiiich they did subscribe
their names. The majority have asked for no
discrimination. As one of them, I have os lit
tle desire to conceal, as to proclaim, my sepa
rate agency in the transactions of the mission,
br my vote upon any meagre discussed by
tlihm. 1 ask, only, not to he misrepresented."
So much for the preface.
He divides his “ Further Strictures
on Mr. Russell's Representations and
Estimates" into three separate heads, to
wit—
I Navigation of the Mississippi—worthless
to the Bi ilisli ;
II. Right to the Fishing Liberties—Eft'ert of
war upon treaties—peculiar character of the
treaty of 1783;
III. Fishing Liberties, their value, nccompn
Uied by sundry documents ami extracts Iron
different publications—with some “ conclud
tag" remarks.
We have merely room to-day for an
extract from the concluding paragraph of
his “ Conclusion,” as follows—
II The question in relation to the Mississippi,
can never he received. That spectre is forever
laid Great Britain lias not only disavowed tbe
claim to it which we would have admitted as
valid, she lias abandoned that upon which she
herself exclusively rested it. Of its value, in
confirmation of the opinions which I have ex
pressed, l have given extracts from the debates
in parliament, on the peace of 1783, which show
how it was statiinaled by her greatest states
men at that time, ’fiiose estimates bad been
confirmed by an experience of thirty years.—
The slumbers of the unoffending citizens of the
Western Country, can therefore, never more
be, it they ever were, disquieted by the visits
f this apparition to the glmpses of the moon "
As we have only been able this morn
ing to glance at the volume before u»,
and then hand it to the compositor to
copy the brief extracts inserted to day,
w e arc not prepared to pronounce how
far Mr. Adims has been able to refute
the charges laid at his door by his col
league, Mr. Jonathan, Russell, in the
private letter produced at the call of
Mr. Floyd, lie has evidently availed
himself with great diligence ami ability
of every material within his reach to
effect his purpose : and in order to dis
play the variations of the duplicate to
the best advantage, Mr. A. has called to
his aid the utmost stretch of the typogra
phical art (not to mention columns of
parallel passages) by distinguishing va
rious parts in u “mailer type, interlarded
.■in* neatly adjusted to tho body of the
text, so as to present the alterations in a
most conspicuous point of view : In the
art of printing this troublesome mode of
justification (to speak technically) is
rarely resorted to ; and then only where
it is necessary to produce fac similes.
The odd appearance of the hook, on the
spur of the moment, suggested these
ideas, which as practical printers, we
think it proper not to suppress.
The hook contains about one hundred
pages of nea 1 matter, written, as far as
we can judge, in the usual spirit of caus
tic severity, that so eminently distinguish
es the controversial productions of Mr.
Adam’s pen. This feature gives to a
subject, dull of itself, and of a forbidding
complexion to the general reader, a
relish and gusto, which may ensure its
perusal by all who make it their study
to he fully informed of the political histo
ry of their own times. Of Mr. Adams’
argument, we shall speak particularly
hereafter : but we cannot discover, in
the pages before us, that he Iras assum
ed any new ground of defence, beyond
what is already known to those readers
who are familiar with the previous part
of this diplomatic controversy, so ably
conducted on all sides.
Extract of a letter from an Officer of the
United Stales' sloop of liar Cyane, to
his friend in Washington, dated at St.
Juan, Porto Rico. Sept. 1st, 1022, cont-
municatcd to the Editor of the Hashing-
ton Gazette.
" We arrived at this place, after a pas
sage of twenty-live days from the Chesa
peake, which we left on the 1st of Au
gust : all well. Our reception here by
the constituted authorities and inhabi
tants, was very tlattering. Four dinners
have been given to the Officers, two by
the civil and military governors, and to
night a play ; we are hand and glove with
all hands. Our captain is very popular
with the inhabitants und deservedly so.
Ilis manners are most conciliating.
“ Our rec.pption surprized the resi
dent Americans of this place, ami was
most agreeable to ourselves. At a din
ner given by the military governor,
toasts were frequently given and among
them was the following, “ Alliance be
tween Spain and America.” The offi
eers of the Cyane w ere more than once
toasted. 1 prized my dear country more
than ever, a land of liberty, where we sit
under our t ine and tig trees and none to
make us afraid.”

POLITICAL CREEDS.
CONSTITUTION RADICALISM.
We do ourselves the pleasure to Iny before
our readers the two articles we promised them
—the one being Gen. Harrison’s exposition to
the people of his district the other, a reply
of Air. John Patteison ofBaltiinore, to the new
fnngled charge of Radicalism. Each of t lie 111,
brief as they are, contains some sound truths ;
The annexed remarks from General Harris
on, iu which he mnkcspuhlic his political opin
ions and feelings, we insert in to-day's paper
willingly, and shall publish with equal plea
sure, liis concluding observations, when they
come to hand, if they prove to he in continua
tion of the same sound republican doctrines.—
We hope to see the example he has thus set fol
lowed tiy other gentlemen who are before the
public,ns candidates atthe election next month,
not only in our district, but elsewhere through
out tiie state.—Cincinnalti Inpuisitor, Sept. 17
To the Editor of Ihe Inquisitor,
Sir—In your last paper you recom
mended to the candidates at the ensuing
election, to publish iheir political creeds,
that the electors may have a fair opporlu
nily of choosing those whose sentiment
best accord with their own. 1 have e
ver believed that every elector has i
right lo make this call upon those who
offer their services to the people, and
that tbe condidiitos are bound to answet
it. I might, it is true, avail my self nl
the kind of exception which you make in
favor of those who have had au oppor
tunity of showing their political opinions
by Iheir conduct. Rut as I have no rea
son lo dread the most minute inve*ti*u-
tion til'my opinions, and that my fellow
citizens may he enabled fo compare uy
actions with my professions, 1 offer yin
the following outline ofmy political creed,
which yon may publish if you think it
worthy of a place in your paper. Tlii,
measure, is the more necessary at tins
lime, as some of my new friends have
very kindly, in various handbills and o-
ther anonymous publications, undertaken
to make one for me, which (if I have a
correct knowledge of what 1 myself be
lieve) is not a very exact likeness ofltmt
which I profess.
I deem myself a Republican, of what
is commonly called the old Jeffersonian
School, and believe in the correctness
of that interpretation of the Constitution
which has been given by the writings of
that enlightened statesman, who was at
tile head of the party, and others belong
ing to it, particularly Ihe celebrated re
solutions of the V'irgiuta Legislature du
ring the Presidency of Mr. Adams.
I deny, therefore, to the General Go
vernment, the exercise of any power but
what is expressly given to it by the Con
stitution, or what is essentially necessa
ry to carry the powers expressly given,
into effect.
I believe that the charter given to the
Rank of the U. States, was unconstitu
tional ; it being not one of those mea
sures necessary to carry any of the ex
pressly granted powers into effect : anil
whilst my votes in Congress will show
that 1 will take any constitutional means
to revoke the charter, my votes iu the
State Legislature will equally show that
1 am opposed to those wntcli arc uncoil
stitutional or violent, nnd which will
bring us into unnecessary collision with
the General Government.
I believe in the tendency of u large,
public debt to sap Ihe foundations of the
Constitution, by creating a monied aris
locracy, whose views and iutcrest must
be in direct hostility to those of the mass
of the people.
1 deem it Ihe duty, therefore, of the
representatives of the people to endea
vor to extingedi it as soon as possible, by
making every retrenchment in the ex
penditures ol the Government that a pro
per performance of the public business
will allow.
1 believe iu the right of the people to
instruct their Representative when elec
ted ; nnd it he has sufficient evidence
that the instructions which may lie given
him comes from a majority of his con
stituents. tint he is hound to obey them,
uuless he considers that by doing it he
would violate the Constitution. In
which case I think it would he liis duty
to resign, and give them an opportuni
ty of electing another Representative,
whose opinions would accotd with their
own.
I believe that the existence of slavery
in our country is the greatest evil that
we nt present lie under ; and 1 believe
it to be the duty of the non-holding slave
stales to offer to their sister states every
inducement, and afford them every faci
lity, to get rid of this curse. But 1 am
equally convinced that upon Constitu
tional grounds, as well as those of expedi
cncy and propriety, all the measures for
the accomplishment of the important ob
ject of emancipation, must lie begun and
supported by the states holding the
slaves ; the Constitution having given
us no power to interfere in this domestic
concern without the consent of those
most interested ; nnd every step which
we tnav take without their concurrence,
will assuredly rivet the chains which we
wish to break.
I believe that upon the preservation
of the union of these states, depends the
existence of our civil and religions li
berties ; and that the cement which binds
it together is not a parcel of words writ
ten upon paper or parchment, but the
brotherly love and regard which the ci
tizens of the several states possess for
each other. Destroy this, and the beau
tiful fabric which was reared and embel
lished by our ancestors crumbles into
ruins. From its disjointed parts no tem
ple of liberty will again be reared.—
Discord and wars will succeed to peace
and harmony—barbarism will again over
spread the land ; or w hat is scarcely bet
ter, some lordly tyrant will promulgate
the decrees of his will from the seat
where a Washington and a Jefferson dis
pensed the blessings of a free and equal
government. 1 believe it, therefore,
to be the duty of a Representative to
conciliate, by every possible means, the
members of our great political family ;
and always to bear in mind that as the
union was effected only by a spirit of
mutual concession and forbearance, so
only can it be preserved.
WM. HENRY HARRISON.
you last evening, at the Town Meeting
in Washington Square, by circumstances
which I could not control, and learning
(hat certain unfounded reports regarding
my political opinions, have been circu
lated, I know not by whom, I take this
mode, .is being the earliest, to contradict
them. It has been asserted that 1 am tt
Radical ; it is a nciv word in our politi
cal vocabulary, and if I understand it,
means a politician, who sacrifice* the vi
tal interests of the country, lo a perni
cious parsimony in the distribution of
the national revenue—and that I am un
friendly to the Navy and the Army.—*•
How such impressions could have been
made upon the tumds of my feliow-citi-
zons, it is not for me to sav j but it is rnv
duty to remove them, and I trust that
my word will he taken that such impu
tations are unjust and untrue. If I were
asked to tell of the happiest moments of
my life, I can solemnly aver, that they
were those in which 1 received the ti
lings of our victories by sea and by land,
in the last war. I can recollect nothing
even of the days of my youth, when hope
and loncy tricked out every incident of
life in gayest colors, (hat I can compare
with the transports that I enjoyed in
reading of tho“e events. How then can
I silently consent to permit a report so
unfounded to pass unanswered ?
My opinion of the late reduction of
the army, I have never concealed for a
moment, 1 always thought that too much
was done ; I lamented that so tnati v brave
and gallant officers had been disband
ed, and sent to seek their bread in other
employments, when Ihe prime of their
days had been devoted to their country.
Every measure that has been adopted to
increase the Navy, and give employ
ment to its officers, has had my cordial
approbation. Hut, I am for exacting the
exercise of the greatest economy in for
warding those views. I would not spend
one cent of money more than was abso
lutely necessary to accomplish them.—
1 would scrutinize every account of eve
ry department of the government, with
unsparing severity. Perhaps the ex
pression of these sentiments ha9 brought
on me the imputation of being hostile
to the Army ami Navy, and given me this
uew name of a radical.
1 trust this exposition will vindicate
my character with my fellow-citizens,
and nut be considered as intrusive in a
candidate for their suffrages, at the eti-
uing election of Representatives for
the Eighteenth Congress.
The return of a painful disorder,
occasioned, I believe, by my exertions
to make myself kuown in the county and
city of Baltimore, must he my excuse for
any relaxation of personal attention, that
my occur between this and the day of
election.

AGRICULTURAL SHOW—at Worcester Muss
The annual meeting at Worcester, of
tiie Worcester Agricultural Society, took
place on Wednesday last, and was attend
ed by some thousands of farmers from
adjacent town*, as well as by a commit
tee trom the Massachusetts Agricultural
Society, consisting of Messrs. Welles,
Quincy, and Prince—a deputation from
the Essex Society—Captains Rogers and
Chauttcy, Navy Commissioners—and
Captain Biddle, of the Navy and many
other respectable citizens.
1'he Ploughing Match commenced at
9 o’clock iu the forenoon. There were
tune competitors ; each ploughed one-
eighth of an acre. The shortes period
ol accomplishing this work was 14 t-2
minutes. The working cattle were next
exhibited—and each yoke were attach
ed to a cart containing about tivn tons of
stone.—The trial of comparative strength
was upon au ascent of about live or six
degrees.
The live stock exhibited in ther pens,
consisted of about 155 animals;—but
w e do not consider them very remarka
ble, for tbe fatness, or breed of the cat
tle, sheep or swine. One prominent
exception to this remark was to be found
in the celebrated Bull Denton, owned
by Stephen Williams, E*q. of the short
horned Teesvvater breed, and his off
spring. This, in many respects, is the
lines! animal in the United States, and
Ihe appearance of his numerous progeny,
formed a striking contrast in shape and
excellent points, to tho most unexcep
tionable of our native cattle. The show,
however, was considered most material
ly deficient in sheep and swine. The
li'orking Oxen, on the other hand, were
prodigiously line. The bone and mus
cle of our native breed, we suspect, will
not lie surpassed by the short-horned
Durham. This is a question to be set
tled by experiment in a few years, when
the imported stock shall have attained
to maturity. In England, where this
breed has been raised, they use the Ox
hit little for hard work ; and it is doubt
ful whether this celebrated breed will
evince any marked superiority over ours,
in point of ability and labour.
In the afternoon, there was an exhibi
tion of what was called a long team, con-
ting of 120 yoke of working cattle,
and afterwards Htiother, comprising 45
yoke from the town of Sutton. These
animals were selected from those two
towns, as most remarkable, for excellence,
docility aud strength—and formed to
gether a line of near half a mile in
length.
INDIAN TREATY.
Little Rock, (Arkansas) Aug. 20.—A
grand Council of the chiefs, warriors,
fc.c. at the Cherokee and Ossage Indians,
took place of Fort Smith, the beginning
of this month, for (he purpose of con
cluding a treaty of peace and amity be
tween tbe two nations. We are happy to
learn, by gentlemen who left there (do—*
th« Council broke up, that an amicable
treaty of peace lias been the result of
the Council. Governor Miller, Col.
Arbnckle, and Cul. Brearely, b'. States
Agent of Indian Affairs, were present at
Council, and assisted in concluding the.
treaty. In our next or soon after, we
shall probably be able to give some fur
ther particulars oftliis treaty.
Indian Remains.—The skeleton of an In
linn of unusual size, ami in a most perfect
tate of preservation, was recently discover
’d about two feet below the surface of the
earth in the village of Buffalo, No,v-Yol k.—
The teeth were sound and white, anil had
lost none of their enamel. In the grave were
found a steel for striking fire, and a tobacco
pipe, the former in a slate of decay —the lat
ter in a perfect state, as if just buried. The
Buffalo Patriot remarks, that a few years
ago, a number of human skeletons were dog
up near this spot, in repairing the street—
While erecting a small battery during the
late war, on the brow of the terrace, oppo
site tiie light house, several skeletons were
also disinterred. The Indians relate the fol
lowing tradition concerning these bones —
that during the revolutionary war, tiie Se-
naca Indians while employed as allies to G
Britain, having suffered some defeats and o-
ther disasters in her service, near the mouth
of Genesee river, returned to Buffalo, where
th-»greater part of 700 of their warriors died
in consequence of a disease contracted in
the British campq probably the small pux.
Rare Importation.—John Brown, an
officer attached to Lambeth-street Po
lice-office, in passing on Friday morning
through Corwall street, St. George’s in
the East, observing a sailor who was a
little on before him, carry a bundle un
der liis arm, of which he seemed very
careful, and appearing to have lately
come from sea, the officer suspected that
the bundle consisted of contraband goods,
and went and stopped him ; when, to
liis no small astonishment, on examining
the bundle, he found it to consist of the
the head of a coloured man, wrapped up
in a handkerchief. It appears to hare
been preserved in some manner, as the
teeth, hair, whiskers, and large musta-
chios, were quite linn in the llesh, which
bore the appearance of being baked ;
the hair was very long, and the features
seemed in as perfect shape as when the
person lived ; it hud no offensive smell
whatever ; the eyes were plucked out.
The sailor, in giving an account of Ihe
strange possession, said his name was
Fair, that he belonged to the Dart, South
Sea whaler, come home ; Ihe head
which he carred was that of a New Zea
land Chief, which he got in Gough Island,
where the Chieftain was shot, for his in
tolerable cruelty, and that he was then
proceeding to the British Museum, where
lie expected to get a large price for the
head, as he considered it a very valuable
and rare curiosity. The officer, under
these circumstances, let the poor tar de
part to make the best market he could.

- VERY LATE NEWS.
Ry t|ie remarkably fortunate and fust-
sailing ship Corsair, Cnpt. Petrie, arrived
yesterday, in 25 days from Liverpool, we
[lave received copious files of London papers
to theCth, Liverpool papers to the 1 till, and
Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dublin k Belfast Jour
nals to the 1st of Sept. And altho’they fur
nish no article of very important news we find
in them much to interest our readers, aud
have this morning made extracts from them
to the extent of our limits. Further selec
tions will he given iu future publications.
Letters from Hevre de Grace of the 5th
September, quote Upland Cottons at from
20 to 28 sons, and sales effected with diffi
culty even at these reduced prices. For
Sea-Islands no demand whatever. Rice, in
better requst, from 21 to 25 franc.e.
At Liverpool,on the I Ith September,Up
lands were at 5 l-2d to ft t-2d, as in quality.
Ten thousand bales have been pressed up
on the market, which occasioned a decline.
Sea-Islands from to I-2d to 25.—Cottons
that had cost 15 cents in New-York, were
sold at 5 l-2d in Liverpool.
A Liverpool letter of the 7th September,
referring to a sale of upwards of 12,000 bales
of Cotton, a short time previous, says—
“ This sale was most numerously attended,
hut notwithstanding they went off at a de
pression of the prices of the preceding week
of 1-2 a 3-4d on Uplands; nearly Id on
New-Orleatis, and about tile same on Sea-
Hands. So long as the holders of Cotton,
who seem to lie more than usually anxious
to effect sales, are determined to push them
off at auction, business must continue heavy
by private contract. Upwards of 7000 bags
of American Cottons were, offered yester
day, and very near the whole were sold.
They went off briskly, being we
the sales above alluded to. But prices
must still continue to drop, I iyn afraid—
4000 b iles more are announced lor Friday
next. On 10,000 hales sold recently by one
house, at auction, a loss of at least SO,(JOUf.
must have been sustained.
No change had yet taken place in the
British Ministry, in consequence of the
Marquis of Lo.voondkrky. It was gi ne-
rally expected, that Mr. Canni.nq will re
linquish his appointment as Governor Ge
neral of India, and assume the station in
the Cabinet recently held by tile noble Mar
quis.
A splendid fan well dinner was given to
•Mr. Canning, on the 30th A igust, by bis
friends and constituents at Liverpool, pre
vious to liis contemplated departure lor In
dia. Toe tallies were spread at tue Ly
ceum B JJ “treet ; end among the compa
ny were many of the Nubility, Members of
Pai liain’-at, and gentry of the neighborhood
of that city, as well as several gentlemen of
the English, Scotch and Irish Bar. 6e-
tween four and five hundred set dowu-
1’iie first Toast from the Chair, was
‘•Our highly distinguished Representa
tive, the Right Hon. George Canning, with
our cordiel thanks to him for his eminent
services, aud deep regret for his separation
from us, and our sincere and heartfelt wisii-
for liis health and happiness.”
This toast was received with acclamation,
and was drank with great enthusiasm.
Mr. Canning then rose, and addressed
the assembly at the conclusion of which, lie
gave—“ The worthy and independent Fice
men of the ancient and loyal borough of
Liverpool.”
The company parted at a late hour in
great harmony.
The remains of the Marquis of Loniion-
di r.ny were deposited amongst the allustri-
ousdead in Westminster Abbey, on the 20til
of August—1 lie funeral solemnities were at
tended by the Cabinet Ministers, many
Members of Parliament, Sic.
A Messenger arrived at the Foreign Of
fice on the 3 I September, from the Mail-
Qt:ts or Londondekry, (late Lord Stew
art) at Viena.
Tiie King's visit to Scotland terminated
on the 29th of August—at half past 11
o’clock on that day, lie left Dalkeith house,
and at 4 in the afternoon embarked at
Queensferry fur England—carrying with
him, says an Edinburgh paper, “ the best
wishes of a generous, loyal and affectionate
people.” liis Majesty’s time appears to
have been fully occupied during his fort
night’s residence in the Scottish Capital—
Drawing Rooms, Dinners, Balls, Proces
sions, Reviews, &tc. each in i ts turn, occu
pied and engrossed the public attention.
On Sunday the 25th, he attended public
worship at the Kirk of Scotland ; and on
Tuesday, the 27th, visited the Theatre—the
play was “ Rob Roy”—the curtain drew up,
and exhibited all the performers, ranged in
front of the stage, who sung the King’s an
them, with the following additional verse,
and were heartily joined by the audience.*—

The reception which His Majesty experi
enced in Scotland, appears to have been
peculiarly gratifying to him. Though some
what less ardent, perhaps, in outward de
monstration, than that which awaited him
last year in Dublin, it was not one jot the
less sincere.—“ Auld Reekie” has not beam
ed with such merry faces and echoed with
such joyous shouts, it would appear, as
were witnessed on this occasion, within the
memory of its oldest inhabitants.
Returning, the Royal yacht entered the
Thames on Sunday the 1st of September,
and at half past four o’clock in the after
noon, liis Majesty landed at Greenwich
Hospital, and soon after set off for London.
The acccounts of the Greek and Turkish
warfare arc very contradictory. The de
struction of a portion of the Turkish fleet
by fire ships, appears to luvMieen the sig
nal for attack on shore—and the Turks
rushing on the Greeks, are represented to
have gained some temporary advantages ;
which were soon, however, reversed, by
the courage and devotion of the latter—but
the advantages stated to have been since
obtained by .the Greeks, are discredited in
some of tiie London prints ; and it seems

The Greek sailors on board the two five-
ships which blew up the Turkish Admiral,
escaped iri a hark, with Latteen sails. They
had in the middle of them a large barrel of
powder, ready to set on fire, and blow up
any ship of war that might have detained
them—for in tiieir heroic dreadness, they
had furseen the possibility of being taken,
iu which ease they were resolved^o make
tiieir death useful to their country, by de
stroying another of the enemy’s vessels.
The enthusiasm occasioned amongst the
Greeks by this exploit, was very great,
An article under the head of Trieste, Au
gust 3th, states that the Greeks have ceded
to the United States, for twenty years, the
island of Milo, in Ihe Archipelago, and the
port of Senantitrn. The London Conner
discredits the report.
A dreadful contagion is said to exist at
Seio. Eleven Catholics and seventy-six
Greeks had fallen a sacrifice to it, in the
French Consulate. The latter crowded to
gether iri Ihe Church of the Consulate, were
swept away.
Civil commotion is still the order of the
day in Spain. It would seem that quiet

and Ferdinand were never made for each
other—one or the other must become abso

office.
