is every way satisfactoryto the frien"dsofGre-
clan liberty, for it appears that on tli_e llth of
that nionth, in the neighborhood of Cos, the
Grecian fleet, to the number of80 ships ofall
descriptions, encountered the combined Turk-
ish and Egyptian fleets, ‘ and after ‘a’ , severe
contest, the Barbarians'sustalued_'anotlier sig-
nal defeat. Two of their frigates "were burn-
ed during the action,and 80 transports were
destroyed. Three corvettes were captured,
and the loss ofthe Musselhien in lives was ve-
ry great. This inforrnatioli‘ has been rec’rl
by way ofLegliorn, Trieste and Marseilles.
The London Courier, acknowledges that the
Greeks have gained great advantages over
their enemies. and that little chance now re-

ever again restored in the classic and Christ-

FA Rts,- October l7.-—'-T_.ett’e"rs from Odessa.
of fltitli of September, contain news from
Co’irstantinople of the 19th. At that time
Lord Strangford had not quitted that capital.
He seems to be under some eiirbarrassiiieirt.
The Courier, who brought him from St. Pe-
tersbnrgli the official information ofthe ap-
poiutmentofthe Marquess de Robeaupierre
to‘ the post ofAmbassador at Constantinople,
doubtless delivered to him other dispatches.
informing him tlratlhe Anibassador will not
repair to his post till after the entire conclus-
ion ofthe negociations between Russia, Aus-
tt';a,—and England, on the affairs of Greece.
This circu_inst:‘ince added to the sudden de~
position ofthe Grand Vizcr and to other e-

of the Persians,) is calculated to reiidertlie
situation of Lord Strangford, with respect to
the Ottoman Porte, very complicated and eiii—

Mr. D. M’Donald, of Siitiderl-.rnd,(Erigf)
has invented "‘a'self-nioviug nr_acliiue,” for
travelling on roads, which has carried 7 per-
sons; “ It is propelled byuieans oftreddles;
a man sits behind ‘working the same, and
there is a fly wheel operating upon two cog
u heels, which operate upon a square axle.——
Tlie than behind has little labor, as, from the
velocity oftlie‘ fly- wheel, together with the
aid ofa lever, which is in the hand of a per-
son in front steering, he has not often to put
his feet to the treddles.” ' '
A conipany has been formed in'London to
apply Gas Engines to carriages, by which
they expect to run them teir miles an hoiir.-—-
It was thought the Americans would have
had the "start in this ‘invention. ' ' '
In London, Mr. Maitliews has given a new
farce in ridicule of American uianucis.
From Portugal.-—-W e learn froui Captain
Leslie, ofthe ship Philip, which arrived at
B:i|tiiiiore on Tuesday morning,’ in 30' days
from St. Uhes, that the only news which ap-
peared to e_xcite public attention, was the ar-
rival ofone ofthe servants ofthe youngI’rince
(at that time in France).wlio was iniuiediate-
ly imprisoned, and his papers, &.'.c. seized.
Soon afterwards, a regiriieiit of cavalry sta-
tioned iti the neighborhood ofLisbq_n, openly
declared in favor ofthe Q_ueen,and two other
regiments had been sent after them, which '
succeeded in apprehending allthe officers,
who were imprisoned. New troops \\eret:(il-

ation, the Egyptian fleet has been attacked by
Admiral Mianli at Zea, where it was endea-
voting to ‘effect a landiug_ destined‘ against
Athens. The Greeks burnt three of the en
eury’s fiigates, as well as sotnestnaller vessels,
and captured besides 80 transports. The re-
mainder dispersed. -
It is reported that Ibrahim Pacha, son of
the Viceroy ofEgypt, was on board one of
the frigate: that were blown up‘.
The same news has been received at Zante.
with sortie modification. ' It is, however, de-
sirable to wait for more precise information.

J'lI.'tdn'd. Oct. 5.—-(Extract ofa private let-
ter.)——Couut Ofalia, .the ex minister, who
had obtained permission to live at Grenada,
having asked for a passport for a foreign
country,was immediately confined at Alinei-
ra. He was carried through all the streets,
and the mob excited against him ; he was
called bad names, and threatened and struck.
He is accused of having procured the amnes-
ty in opposition to the fanatic party. The
other ex-nriui~ter Cruz is still in secret, and
has not been able to procure an examination.
In the late arrests are General St. ilrlarqtiis d‘
Elisade, de Merlo, de Erro, and other per-.
sons. Persecution is going on still, and in a
short time one halfofthe nation will be shut
upin prisous,and the other half slaves. A
new Decree is expected to compel all those
soldiers and civilians who were in the, Cori-
stitutional service, and are not purified, to
leave Madrid. In a few days 9,000 men, on
board two ships ofwar, and some transports,
will sail fr. Corunua for the Havana.
LONDON, Oct. 18.—Wc are now looking
out forthc arrival of the Liviathan ship Co-
limibus. from Caiuulzr. Should she surriiount
the perils of the t’-r't"afl, she will sail up as
high as Blackwall, to which the whole city
will empty itself to witness this extraordinary
spectacle. The geiitleirieii at Llnyd’s and
their families will be sufficient in themselves
to fill the steam boats. The rate of insurance
upon her lately, in fine weather, was £10 per
cent. -
- LATER.-—By the arrival ofthe Cortes on
the 2d itist. at N.._York, London papers to the
Sllst Oct. are rec’d. The Hon. John Rau-
dolpli was one ofthe passengers of the ship.
A Paris paper of Oct. 20th, gives a- letter
fr-our Corfu of Sept. 26th, as follows.--“ The
riiff-:rcrice which existed between the Lord
High Commissioner of the Ionian Islands and
the Greek Government has been ainicably
adjusted. .-5. new proclamation hasjust been
issued, by which all English and Ionian sub-
jccts are again enjoined to observe the strict-
est neutrality.”
The London papers doubt this statement.
The Emile of tlrr-\9.l.-.t, asserts that “It is
not true that France has been hostile towards
the Gl'l*.’(‘ll.S. Her ships and her Consuls have
aided them wlrcnc-.'er they could ; and her

Mr. Fauntleroy has been removed to New-
'~gatc. His trial was to take place Oct. 97th.

intended for the invasion of Samos, had bro-
ken tip its camp at Scala Nova. ,_
The Turkish fleet put into Chesme Sept.
26th, and sailed again on the 27t.h,_for Mit_v-
lerie. On the 8d of Oct. off Scio,‘Capt. W.
fell in with the Greek fleet of 40 or 50 sail,
and was informed that a partial engagement
with the Turkisli fleet took place four days
previous at Nicaria, wliena frigate of the
latter was destroyerl—aud the Greeks were
following their eueniy to Mitylene. _
‘In consequence ofthe complaints of the
Turks, the Smyrna paper has changed hands,
and now will be more cautious what it pub-
lisliesin favor ofthe Greeks, but we may rely
on letters. The Sinyriia Editor thought
the Turkish fleet was bound against Sauios.
-200 transports carrying troops were at an
chor at Boudruiii, protected by four vessels of
war.
Extract ofa letter from Smyrna, Oct 1.-
“ There is no intercstitig news from the fleets
since the destruction ofari Egyptian frigate
and sloop of war, off Stanchio, by the Greeks.
here is-a rumor to-day, ofthe Greeks hav-
uig destroyediannther frigate and some smal-
ler vessels near Patnios. The Greeks have
been successful iii all parts ofthe Morea; and
as the winter is approaching, the Turks must
get into some harbor; and I trust Sarnos will
not be taken.”
"Smyrna, Oct. l.—lu Negropont, famine
and the plague desolates Caristo: which still,
however, defends itselfagainst the Turks.
The schooner Yellot, at Baltimore left
Smyrna, Oct. 7th, at which time the Turkish
squadron was lying at Mytelene and Scio,
and it was reported tlrattlre Captain Paclia
had given up tlieconirnand of the fleet, and
has gone to Con_stautinople—the greater part
ofthe troops which had been ordered for the
attack of Sariios, had returned.
MEXICO —By the Trimmer, from Alva-
rado, we have received a file ofthe Sun, pub
lished in the Mexican capital, down to the
28th tilt. and letters dated ‘lud inst. from our
correspondents at Alvarado. The conteiitsol
them are highly interesting. '
General Guaduloupe Victoria has been e-
lected President ofthe United .-llc.r£can slates,
and General Nicholas Bravo, Vice President.
The province of Cliiapa, which was claim-
ed by the United States_ of Central America
and the Mexican Uiiiuii severally and to
which the option between them was left, has
incorporated itselfwiili the latter, while Soc-
onusco has declared its intention of arllieiiiig
to the former.
The Mexican Government has established
a regular escort every two months from the
capital to Vcraigegrirz and Alvarado, for spe-
C|“a 31-c. Extravconvoys will be furnished
when necessary.
On the 5th Oct. the Supreme Executive
I’ow_er issued conjointly a long inauifesto to
the States, which is full ofthe noblest princi-
ples and most liberal doctrines; and on the
10th Sept. the President published a separate
address from himself, of a similar character.
His iuuagural speech to the Congress was de-
livered on the same day. He refers to the
examples of Peuri, VVasli'nrgtnn, Jefliersiiri,
and Bolivar‘, and exhorts the Mexican nation
to endeavor to raise lrerselfto the level of our
republic. The same language is held in the
elaborate address ofthe General Congress to
the Mexicans, dated 4th October.

The PirtA'i'rzs.—.Meinorz'al to Congr€sa.——
On the Qud inst. a meeting ofthe citizens of
New York was held at the T. C. House,when
the following . Memorial to Congress on the
subject of piraciesin the W. I. seas, prepared
by Chancellor Kent, was adopted.
To the Senate and H. Q/' R. ofthe U. S.-—
Thc citizens of New York solicit the at-
tention of your honorable body to a subject
of the deepestinterest, affecting equally the
coniriierce 81. revenue ofthe nation, the lives
of otir citizens, and the property ofa most re-
spectable class of nierclianis.
The trade of the Island of Cuba has for
many years been iucrea-ing, and has now be-
come one of the most valuable brauclies of
otir foreign commerce in its importance to
the Union. It is not inferior to our trade with
France and all her colonies. It is a most ad-
vantageous market for utir protliice and man-
ufacltires‘, _lin-nislies us with many tiseful arti-
cles of consuniption,eruploys a vast amount of
American tonnage, is a nursery for our sea-
men, and yields a large revenue to our treas-
ury. This trade was prosecuted until within
a few years past with but little interruption;
but in consequence ofwars between the dif-
ferent Spanish province-s, wlriclt have had the
effect greatly to weaken the sense of irioral
obligations, and froui a partial stippressiori ol
the Spanish Slave Trade, many ferocious spi-
rits have been put otit of einplo_vineut, and a
class of men have ariseir, and located them-
selves in different parts of the Island, who
seem, by their robberies and their cruelties,to
enitilate the Buccaneers of foruiertimes.
The piracies of these nieu were confined
for a tiuie principally to plundering our ves-
sels, and rnaltreating otir st-amen. By the
cxertions of the naval force under the corri-
inaiid of Com. Porter, their atrocities were
rendered less frequent, and a hope was enter-
tained that they would be entirely discontinu
ed : but this hope has proved delnsive. The
necessary witltdrawal ofour sliips of war dur-
ing the sickly season,tlie supincuess or coiini-
vairce ofthe local autliorities of Cuba,and the
iiiibecility ofthe Spanish Goverurueut, have
conspired to renew the piratical system with
increased activity and horror; ‘whole crews
have been recently murdered, their vessels
burnt and their cargoes plundered, $2. in some
instances openly sold at Matanzas or Havana.
ii/ithout some protection to this trade more
efficacious than any that has yet been afford-
ed, and better adapted to repel the attacks of
these abandoned uien, we are appielieiisive
that this great branch ofotir foreign corri-
nierce, and the revenues arising froui it, will
be materially ditoiuislied. It is a.lawful com-

It has been strongly recommended that the
government einpluy the steam-sliip Robert
Fulton against the pirates. A writer in one
ofthe N. . papers remarks in favor ofthe
plan that--“ This beautiful vessel,bi‘iilt in the
uian of war style, can afford good quarters for
400 officers and men, and can conveniently
take all the necessary boats. She can be e-
quipped and armed at small expense,and pre-
'parcd for service at aicost, including purchase
rironcy, not exceeding $70,000. Her draught
of water is very easy. 'With a convenient de-
pot of coal. at the Balize, on the Mississippi.
which may be very cheaply replenished from
the Missouri and Ohio, that it is to say,at the
rate of 86 per clialdron, she may be kept con-
stantly cruising on the coast of Cuba, combi-
ning within herself, the two great principles
of war, concentration of force and celerity of
uiovement. Anti what heightens the value
ofthe plan is the reflectiou, that a steam-ves-
sel ofthe character described, may bid defi-
ance irut only to pirates, but to their coadju-
tor the yellow fever, it heitig a fact confirmed
by experience, and attested by the must scien-
tific niedical men, that owing to. the purifica-
tion ofthe atmosphere arising from constant
combustion, pestilence can never make his a-
bode in a steam-vessel.” '

Interview of General La Fuyelfc and the
Indian Chi:js.——On-Wediiestlay last,tlie Del-
egation of the Choctaw chiefs, at present in
this city,repaired from their residence at Teri-
uisoii’s Hotel, to the Quarters ofGencral La
Fayette at Gadsby’s. Major John Pitchlynu
their Interpreter, having been introduced to
Judge Brooke, was, by the Judge, introduced
to the General, when the several chiefs were,
by name and title, successively presented by
the Major in the Guts! of the Nation.
The Chief Musbalatubbee spoke as follows:
“ You are one of our fathers that futight in
-the War with Gen. Washington. We take
you here by the hand as a friend and a father.

have never been stained with the blood ofA-
niericans. We live in the south, where the
sun shines not upon us. 'We have been‘ neigh-
bors to the French, neighbours to the Span-
iards, and neighbors to the English : but now
our only neighbors are the Americans, in the
midst of whom we live as frieirds 8:. brothers.”
Pushamata, a superior Chief, next addres-
sed La Fayette, in the following manner :
“ About fifty years ago yoti drew your
sword, the couipaiiion of Gen. Washington.
With hiiri ynii travelled and warred against
ti:e enemies of America. In spilling the blood
of your foes, you generously shed your own,
thereby consecrating your devotion to the
cause in which you were engaged. After the
termination ofthe war, you returned to your
country, and now you revisit this land, bles-
sed by the benedictions and honoured with
the grateful attentions of a numerous 8!. p0W~
erful people. You see every where arouud_
you, crowdingto‘ your presence, and cltisping
your hands with filial affection, the children
of those with whom you fought in the defence
nt‘ their country. We had heard of these
things even in our remote habitations,and our
bosonis were depressed with anxiety to sec
you. \Ve have come. \Ve take you by the
hand and are satisfied. It is the first and the
last tiuie. We shall meet no iiioie. We part,
on earth, forever. This is all I have to say.”
Cul.Cole then spoke to the following efli-ct:
"I am a man of mixed blood. I consider
‘all white riien as my fathers. You come froiu
a far distant laud. Isalute youasa falliei,
because you are a white man and the old and
constant friend of America.” _
During these addresses from the Indian
Chiefs, General La Fayette was agitated by
strong emotions, and was evidently much af-
fected at the marks of respect which they
sliewed him. He several times cordially pies-
sed their hands.
The Chiefs accompanied the General, on
his departure, from Gadsby’s beyond the cap-
itol, on the road to Baltimore, when, mutually
bowing farewell they parted. .
At the ‘sanie time that the Choctaw Clrief.~_
waited on General La Eayette, the_Cliiels ol
the Chickasaw natioti, a kindred tribe, paid
him a visit, and shook hands. '

From the Nun Brunswick Frcedom'on.Dec. ‘I. ‘
Our. coir_espondeii't at 'l‘reirtoii'-’-.'writes us
_rhat Mr. M"_Ct'illoch, the principal Agent for
the Morris Canal,Company, has given notice
to the legislature ofthe alraiitlonirietit ofehis
original plan, and .pi‘e,seuted- tlrefollmvmg
splendid scheme fo,r'tii'i'itiiig the Morris and
'Raritou Canals. The new plan is-—lst. To
procrre for the people one —tl_iir(l of both ca-
‘nals; to secure to future legislatures a con-
'trol" in their adiniuistration, and t0__enable the‘
state to render them a public. property in 99
years. [The object oftliis is to teruiiiiate all
jealousy between the -fr_ieu_ds_ef each canal,
and extend over nearly’?-tli_e"iwliole state the
bemfits of inland navigation] -Ed. -It con-
centrates and fixes permanently in N. Jersey

to the Treasury a revenue in no event lesstlian
$20,000 annually, and which will, in all
probability, rise to 8l00,000 as soon as the
Canals are completed. A company is to he.
formed upon a capital of‘ $6,000,000, to he
raised as follows :—Tlie State to subscribe
$9,000,000, payable in 99 years, bearing an
annual interest of 5 per cent, -payable half
yearly, and till the year 1924 shall be called _
on for no cash payment. Individtials to sub-
scribe $4,000,000 payable by instalinents in
cash. The company guarantees to the State
its subscription of s2.ouo,ooo of stock shall
not yield less than 6 per cent annually: thus-
lcast of 520,000 yearly ; while the profits of
the operations of the company and ofthe Ca-
mils, in which the people possess one third
.~.hare,rnay probablyfi" r_l_.-ieasily increase tlllsm-'
come to an annual rieyenue ot'$l00,000. A
As security,.,tpT,the state, both canals are‘
pledged to it ; tlieir navigation can never be-
abandoned or interrupted, and in 99 years we
may assume them to our‘selves. The year
I825 will be mostly spent in preparatory sar-
veys and preparations; biititr 18°26 and every,
subsequent year. till both the canals areconi-'
pleted, the sum of $300,000 must annually be
expended. No call of any sort whatsoever
1924, when S9.,000,0l!0 may be paid if requi-
red ; against which demand stands one third‘
ofthe property of the Company, and the
whole of both Canals. Supposing the surplus
and certain divideird of the state to he regu-
larly invested, and reckoning the least possi-_
ble annual revenue of 820,000 accumulating
at 5 per cent. compound interest. we shall ll)‘
56 1-2 years possess the 592,000,000 due 111.99
v,,.,,._,,, and if the 520,000 were reserved for“
09 years, it wouldauiouut at the same rate of
interest, on the day when the State nitist pay
its stock, to $49,695,600.
The system now offered embraces _equally
both Canals, which it will accomplish in 4yrs.
