Tm Wiu.mm Wallace We have
been favored with the perusal of a letter
from a passenger in this ship, whose wreck
We announced in our last, from which wo
collect the following particulars, Which may
be deemed interesting :—
After a favorable run of five days, whon
most of the passengers were asleep and
- others anxiously expecting to hail the Light
at Sandy Hook early next morning, the
ship suddenly, and unexpectedly, was dis
covered to be surrounded by breakers, and
. striking her bottom heavily on the beach, at
every surge of the sea. In fifteen minutes
from the time of striking the shore, the
main and inizca masts wurecut away, and
the ship reduced to a complete wreck
The night was excessively dark and stor
my, mid the Bliip soon bilged and filled fast.
At this time the passengers hod abandoned
' all hope of reaching shore unloss by swim
ming, as such was the violence of the surf
neither of the boats could have lived in it 1
They, however, suffered themselves to bo
governed by the Captain’s advice, and re
mained by the vessel until daybreak, in a
state of the utmost anxiety and alarm. It
was a fortunate circumstance that the ship
drove ashore at high water, as the ebb tide
between five-and six in the morning had
left the vessel sufficiently hig h on the beach
to enable the passengers to wade ashore—
After some search, twenty or thirty miser
able looking fishermen were found, who, it
is mentioned, live partly by the plunder of
such unfortunate boings as are thrown in
their way, and who after much entreaty

came to this couutry, and served under
General Rochambcau and General Wusht

years of the war, as Major in the same reg

and the proclamation of peace. On the
conclusion of the war, he resigned his com

from which, at the expiration of a year, he
removed to Dresdeu. He afterwards held
tho office of Deputy MarshSll, under Gen.

at Buenoa Ayres, but it was expected that
war between that government and tho Bra
zilian would take place shortly. A corvette
from Rio Janeiro, with dopatches for the

Montevideo, and was daily expected at Bu

An engagement had taken place early in
June between somo of the Brazilians and
Banda Orientals, but no signal Victory was
gained ; the former however, were compel
led to retreat into the city of Montevideo.
A reinforcement of Brazilians afterwards
reached the vicinity of Montevideo, and
four sail of armed vessels (brigs) from Rio,
arrived to protect tho trade of the river Eg-
ra, a branch of the La Plata. This river,
it appears, has hitherto been under the go
vernment of the Banda Orientals, who
would suffer produce to ascend it, but never
any, or even money, to descend it. The
Brazilians have it now in keeping, and arc
regulatiug it in a way tu suit their own
views.

By a letter from Mobile, dried on the
11th ult. it appears that the yellow fever is
committing dreadful ravages in that place.
The population at present, is said not to ex
ceed five hundred, and the deaths from the
17th July, its commencement, to tho 25th,
were 16,; from the 2uth to 1st August, 8 j
from tho 1st to the 8th. 2t; and from tho
0th to the 14th, they wete believed to be
upwnrds of 30.
The Mobile paper states that there were
43 interments, from the 1st to the 14th of
August, of all diseases. The Board of
Health, in its report on the 15th ult. states,
that “from tho imperfect manner in which
the report is made, it is impossible to name
the diseases of which many of tho persons
died. Somo, however, there is no doubt,
died of malignant fever, which still contin
ues to rage in tho city, chiefly among the
poorer class of people; as those who have
had it in their power, have some time since
removed to the country, where the sickness
is of a much more mild nature—assuming,
principally, the furms of bilious, remittent,
or intermittent fevers.”

There had been some variation in the
cotton market.—The reportof the ISthsays.
“ In the early part of tne week the in avy
arrivals caused a partial suspension ol de
mand, and some sales were made on Thurs
day (tho 14th,) at a reduction of 4tl. per lb.
on the previous highest prices. On Friday
(the 15th,) there was an improved demand,
and very extensive purchases would have
been made at this reduction, which, howev
er the holders would not submit to ; con
sequently but little business was done. The
market has since remained very steady, with
a moderate demand from the trade, at the
previous currency.” On the 20th, the day
on Which the Isaac Hicks sailed, the mar
ket was dull. A letter of that date, states,
that “ the total sales the last three days,
viz. on the 16th. 18th and 19th. amounted
to only 2684 bags, and included of Americau

Letters had been received at Lloyd’s from

the fleet of the Cuptain Paella had not been
dispersed on the 1st of June, some contra

Neither bud uny accounts been received
from the Captain Pacha. Had any event
adverse to the Greeks taken place, it would ;
have been notified in the ordinary way, by j
the exhibition of their heads over the gates
of 1 he Seraglio.
It is said, in a latter from Corfu, of the
21st Juno, that the Captain Pacha, “ after
meeting with many difficulties," and effected
a junction with the Egyptian squadron, and
lli'at both had entered the portB ol Candia.
These admissions by the enemies of the
Greeks, leave no doubt as lo tho correctness
of the statement, thntthey had every where
triumphed over the fleets of the invaders.
In the same letters, the latest received from
Corfu, we also find the following state
ment :
“ A now expedition to the coast of the
Morea is spoken of, but us most of the
Turkish ships arc in great want of repair,
the expedition will probably be delayed—

and they have again greatly distinguished
themselves on their own element, and have
inflicted a signal defeat upon the enemy’s

has taught the Turks to fear them, and that
the former have obtained a position suffi

their oppressors. VVe hope that some ef
