FEMALE LOY ALTY.
Last evening we witnessed die inie-
resting ceremony ol rearing a Cross on
the heights of Brooklyn, .dedicated, by
the ladies of New-York to the came ol
the Gieck*. It measured about twenty
feet with the following inscription —
“Sacred to the cause of the Greeks, ’’
and was left to the disposal of General
Swift, who gallantly planted it in the
presence of several ladies and gentle
men, at the bottom of his gardrn in a
conspicuous situation fronting this city.
After it had been securely tised, the
General stepped forward and observed
to his fellow-citizens there assembled,
that it was natural for free Americans
to rejoice in every aspiration for, and
prospect of, emancipation to the Greeks
—to rejoice in the hope that they might
have treiigth to break those chains of
(he benighted Turk, which had for cen
turies enthralled the descendants ot A-
ristidos, Solon and Epaminondas ; that
it was doubly gratifying to know thtd our
mothers, daughters and sisters are fore
most in uniting in the noble sentiment of
which this cross is a token and an em
blem—“ Sacred to the came of the
Greeks.”—Those fair associates have
honored me with a request to erect this,
Cross on these Classic Heights. It is
erected—the inscription, “ The cause
of Greece,” must warm every grateful
beholder. The name of Greece cannot
but arouse grateful sensations in the
breast of every civilized being who pro
nounces it ; for to Greece the world is
indebted for those examples and pre
cepts which have shed light upon the
human mind and led on to freedom.—
This Cross is the insignia of Grecian
devotion to his God and his country.
May that devotion continue until the
Turk »s conquered end Greece is free.
Wine was than introduced from the
General’s house, when the following sen
timent was drank w ith enthusiasm ;
“ May the Grecian Cross he planted
fluii, village to village, and from steeple
to steeple until it rests on. the Dome of
St. Sophia.”
This was followed by three cheers :
after which Dr. Mithell advanced and
delivered a neat aud appropriate ad
dress.

about ItlllO men, the grealea, part of them

regulars not amounting to more than four
thousand. The other disposable forvi. was
oil the side of Vigo end Orense. 'J'lic
French Htlacked, with five thousand own,
the whole corps d’arinee they have in yali-
cia ; and certainly, nothing could lie raorc
cool and determined than llic defence ot tin-
garrison. Colon* I ^orv a, commaiidef of
the Guipuscoa militia, was killed, togr'hei
with several Olivers of minor rank. Tin
French are stated to have had 700 men'dis-
ahled. i The Spaniards] after defending the
heights in front of the town, withdrew with
in the walls on the 10th, and, in the even
ing of that day, a council of war, was In-id,
which was attended by all the principal of
ficers. Colouel Sevane, the same w ho dis
tinguished himself in Madrid during the. re
volt of the Guards, whom, on that occasion
he charged, when he had his hnrxie killed un
der him by their bayonets, was the first
who spoke, lie told his hearers that na
tional honor, as well as tho must sacred ol
causes, required that the garrison of Corun
na should bury themselves under the ruins
of the town confided to their care. ‘‘Let
us set an example In our countrymen,” ad
ded lie, “ hy first defending the city ; and,
if overpowered, hy witliuravving to the cas
tle, and there resisting to lhe Iasi moment.”
The brave Mendez Vigo, tin- Gov ernor of
the town, and whose wife came passenger
in one of Ihe vessi Is, seconded the motion,
which was again supported hy Col. Novella.
The resolution of the council was unani
mous. It was determined that they should
defend Corunna as long as they had powder
and hall to oppose their adversaries. Sir
Robert Wilson’s wound was slight. He
was liv ing at tile Bi itisli Consul’s house, and
ii was thought that lie would immediately
prur-M-d In Vigo, in order to umUc arrange
ments to move on the rear of the Freni n.
as a considerable force was Collecting in tin-
neighborhood ot Orense, consisting of tin
regiments of liurgo-, Constitution, Spain,
Granada, Art-agon, ami Ferrol. Col. Light’s
wound is reported not to In dangerous.
AFFAIR AT CORUNNA.
An express arrived yostelr! iy ' the Ail
miralty fmm Falmouth, stating that intelii
genre had reached that port, from Corunna
so late as the £0th, at which time tho firing
was still heard.
By the way of Liverpool, accounts have
arrived from Corunna of tho 18th, brought
by the Minerva, Capt. Lilians (said to he a
French East I'idi.iman, which iiad been cap
lured, and taken m*o Corunna,) which am
ved nlLtverpool on Saturday. She brought
several passengers, and among them the w ilt
of General Mina.
The French have, not succeeded in their
attack upon the town, and aresta'ed to have
retreated four or five leagues. When the
.Minerva sailed, they were firing upon the
shipping in the Bay, in consequence of w hicli
the vessels were getting under weigh
The actions of die 15th and IBIli were ve
ry severe, and the French are represented to
have lost a great number of men on the lat
ter day, as they were at one time in posses
sion of part ol the town, from which they
were repulsed with great loss. Two Span
ish gun-boats had outflanked the besiegers,
and caused considerable loss to them in kil
led and wounded.
It is represented that two hundred carts
iv itli wounded French had arrived at a small
village in the neighborhood of Corunna.
Sir Robert Wilson’s wound is a little a-
buvo the knee,and it is supposed he will lose
liis leg. General t^oiroga was at Corunna,
and Hie Spaniards who came passengers in
the Minerva, represent the, troops and vo
lunteers as being determined to defend the.
town.—Morning paper of ivlh.
By a circulai addressed to the foreign
Ambassadors at Paris, the ports of Spain are
now officially declared to lie in n state of nc

The Spanish official account of the battle
of Molinos del Rey has been received—It
gives a Very different description of the en
gagement from that published by the French
— the enemy lost in this nltnr.lt 800 killed
and above 2,000 wounded—Ihe Spaniards
represent their loss as inconsiderable com

A Paris article of July 2U says—The la

We have just received the following-inte
resting details from an authentic source.
" Letters to the 28th of July have hern
received from Gibraltar, to which place the
Congress frigate, Capt. Biddle, had return
ed, after making an ineffectual attempt to
land iMr. Nelson at Cadiz. The original
plan of the Government seems to have been,
not to send the frigate to Cadiz where the
presence of Mr. Rodney, the Minister to
Buenos Ayres might not have been accepta
ble, but to land M . Nelson at Gibraltar,
■whence lie was to proceed by laud to tile
residence of the Spanish Court. The in-
vesimeut of Cadiz on the land side repder-
c.d this last courge impracticable, and it was
necessary fur him tu proceed by sea.
“ Accordingly, alter landing Mr. Rodney
at Gilo altar, Capt. Biddle sailed for Cadiz,
off which there lay at anchorn French block
ading squadron, consisting of two ships of
-e line and four fiigates. As he approach-
- d, one of the frigates came out and stated
that the Admiral had sent her to inform
Capt. Biddle that the port was in a state of
blockade, and that therefore the frigate ciui’ l
riot enter. Captain Biddle answered that he
would go mi In tbe aoeorage and communi

ARRIVAL OF THE BEAGLE.
Norfolk, Sept. 15.—The U. S. sch’i Ben-
gle Lt. Cotn’t Newton, from Thompson’s
Island, came ill from sea on Saturday even
ing and prolieeded up the hay for Washirig-
to after landing Lt. Gardner, (one of her
officers,) and Lt Morehead, Lt. Walker, (ol
Marines) and Dr. Hamilton, (of the U. S.
snip John Adam’s,) passenger, at Old Point
Comfort. The three first named gentle
men came lip to this place yesterday after
noon, the latter remains at Old Point, in ill
health, and will probably proceed up to
Washington this morning in the steamboat.
The Beagle brings us most disastrous in
telligence iiom Thompson’s Island. We
learn from conversations with Lieutenants
Mourrhead ami Gardener, that about the
20th of August symptoms of the yellow le
ver manifested themselves at that place, and
in a very short lime there were nearly forty
cases of the disease—and to heighten the
distress the John Adams arrived there two
or three days after from Vera Cruz via Ha
vana with two or three cases of the fever on
hoard. YVe have not learned with sufficient
accurscy to announce it, the number of
deaths on the Island at the time the Beagle
liled, nor the number she left siek there.—
The following, however, is a list of the ofli-
rs who had died previous to sailing:
Lieut. G. W. Somerville,
Midshipman Marshal,
“ Reed (of the John Adams)
Mr. Anthony Grice, Carpenter,
Mr. Thomas, Captain’s Clerk, (John Ad
ams.)
Mr. Morrison, Gunner, do.
Tlie siek were, removed to the hospital as
soon as they were attacked, w here every at
tentioo was paid them under the direction of
l)r. Williamson, Hospital Surgeon of Ihe
station, whose unwearied exertions, no less
than his professional skill, had been moste-
minently set viceablc.
The John Adams is slated to have been
in the cleanest possible condition, and every
precaution had been taken to render her
healthy. It is not believed that her siek re
ceived the disease on hoard, hut lather that
they contracted it at Havana.
Com. Porter, we regret to learn, had been
much indisposed, hut when Ihe Beagle left,
the Physician entertained hopes of his sjiea-
dy restoration to health.
Tlie prize schooner captured by Lieut.
Watson, was at the Island. She had been
fitted for service, and her name changed to
that of Allen, in compliment to the hero
who fell at the spot where she was captured.
The command of thu^Alb'ii was given to
Lt. Cotn’t James E. Legarc.
Tlie Beagle left Matanzas on the 5th inst.;
all her officers and crew are in good health.
She has been absent seven months, during
