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 j, And many threats, and the most abominable extortion, St last consented to assist the passengers on their way, by moans of an ox cqrLras far sb Groat Egg Harbor, where they proceeded as before stated to Phila delphia, The cargooKhc Wm.

Tho subject of this no tice, also entored the French service as sec ond lieutenant, ut the age of fifteen, and rose to tho rank of Major of the Duke of Lauzun’s Light Horse, with whom lie came to this couutry, and served under General Rochambcau and General Wusht ington. He served during the last three years of the war, as Major in the same reg iment. In an attack on Tarleton’s Dra goons, his horse was shot under him. lie was also present under Lincoln, when De- lanccy’s Dragoons and some other British Troops, were driven to King’s Bridge, near New-York r and, indeed, in all the engage incuts up to tho capitulation of Cornwallis and the proclamation of peace. On the conclusion of the war, he resigned his com mission. He afterwards Went to Boston, from which, at the expiration of a year, he removed to Dresdeu. He afterwards held tho office of Deputy MarshSll, under Gen. Dearborn, and lived on Seguine sb keejs-r of'the Light, for six years, at a salary of jJ200. The remainder of the time he has resided at Dresden.

Every thing remained quiet 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 Buenos Ay.ruan government, had arrived at Montevideo, and was daily expected at Bu enos Ayres. The Congress of Buenos Ayres won in session, deliberating on the confederation of the different Provinces. 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.

He is now seven ty-seven years of age, and resides on his small firm in Drssdcn. 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.” The French Squadron was expected to sail from Hampton Roads on the 28th ult bound direct for France, except the frigates Venus, of 64 guus, Capt.

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 descriptions, 811 bales Uplands, at UJ to 13J; ISO Orleans, 12 to 16(1.; IS Sea Island, 2s.; and 464 Alsbamas, 10} to 13!<1." Stocks in the London market were much the same as our last quotations. A sloop of war had arrived at Portsmouth from Rio Janeiro, having on board 4.019, 500 dollars, and a quantity of'precious stories 1 freight. The Russian frigate Kruizcr, which sail ed in November, 1822, on a voyage of dia covcry, had arrived in Englund, without making any discoveries. The King of Portugal had granted am nesty to the persons engnged in the attempt ed revolution in April of Inst year. The thermometer at Liverpool on the 18th of July, was up to 8-1, which was higher had been known for several summers. A duel hod been fought in Paris between Count Segur and Gen.

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— Minnies has raised the blockade of Suda, which excites surprise, ns lie has received reinforcements from Hydra, and Sactoury’s squadron has joined his.

VVe ex pect tiint we eh all hear very important news.” Alluding to the general aspect of affairs in Greece, vhe Liverpool Courier of the 20th July, has the following pertinent remarks : “ The success and reverses of this noble people may be considered as, during this campaign, hitherto, pretty equally balanc ed. They have lost an important fortress, and they have again greatly distinguished themselves on their own element, and have inflicted a signal defeat upon the enemy’s fleet. It is satisfactory to observe, that the regular usages of civilized warfare begin to be observed iu this struggle, no tnnssscre having taken place at the taking ol Navar- ino, and the Greek garrison being allowed to march out with the honors of war. This iB one proof, that the valor of the Greeks has taught the Turks to fear them, and that the former have obtained a position suffi ciently commanding to curb tho brutality of their oppressors.
