From Europe. The Editors
of the New-York papers have re
ceived English papers to the 8th
ult. from which the following items
of intelligence are extracted:
London, Oct. 8. We have rea
son to understand, although the
Earl of Aberdeen notified to
Lloyd's the intention of Russia to
blockade the Dardannelles, that
our Government do not intend to
recognise that blockade, as being
attempted not only in direct vio
lation of the promises made by
Russia, but contrary to the spirit
of the treaty of London, as well
as subversive of our commercial
interests. With this view a re
monstrance of the most decided
character has been forwarded to
the Emperor Nicholas, couched
in terms which will admit of no
equivocation. The answer must
be entirely satisfactory, or the re
verse; there can be medium; the
alternative is peace, or wTar. The
Russians have stolen a march up
on our Government by taking ad
vantage of their proximity to the
Dardannelles, and ordering their
fleet to blockade it; but they will
find that they have overreached
themselves in this particular, if
they adopt any measures which
may bring them into collision
with Sir Pulteney Mulcom's fieet.
We understand that upon the re
ceipt of the Emperor's intention
to blockade the Dardannelles, our
government lost not a moment in
apprising Admiral Malcolm of the
altered circumstances of the case,
and directing him how to act.
But to render their instructions
still more effective, they determi
ned upon reinforcing his fleet
Without delay; and such is the ur
gency in fitting out the men-of-war,
that every ship has orders to
sail as soon as ready, without
waiting for others. In addition
to the ships already under orders,
we have reason to suspect that
two more line of battle ships arc
secretly preparing for sea. Their
destination is not known, but it
may be guessed at. Despatch
is the word.
The Paris journals of Friday,
contain intelligence from Odessa
to the 18th Sept. We had previ
ously received accounts to the
same date through the Brussels
papers, and also by the Berlin
State Gazette, two Russian bul
letins, which bring the history of
the siege of Shumla down to the
10th, and of Varna to the 13th of
September. According to these
bulletins, the Russians "hail been
generally successful, not only in
repulsing the sortie of the Turks,
but in the result of some attacks
on the works of Varna, and of op
erations undertaken for cutting off
the communications of that 'for
tress; but it appears tiiat nothing
of a decisive character had occur
red. The grand assault, which
was to have taken place on the
arrival of the Emperor Nicholas
remains to be made. The bulle
tins do not mention the presence
of his imperial majesty before
Varna, but we learn by letters
from Odessa, that he was there.
The Paris papers appear to know
. noting of the blockade of the
the Dardannelles, except what
thev learn from London, though to pass under the dominion ' of
we believe that Russia had actu
ally proceeded to carry that mea
sure into effect before any notifi
cation of the intention so to do
was given to our government.
The Journal des Debats, in noti
cing the Cabinet Councils held
relative to this subject and Ire
land, rive our ministers credit for
having refused to consent to the
Russian blockade.
Accounts had been received at
London of the military operation
before Shumla to the 13th, and
before Varna to the 17th Sept.
No attack has been made upon
Shumla, Russian bulletin merely
announces that the Russian troops
maintained their positions in front
of that place; but there appears to
France. At Prevesa, there had
been a mutiny among ' General
Church's troops, respecting their
pay; itwas suppressed on promis
ing the mutineers 3 months pay.
IRELAND.
London, Oct. 7. A gentleman
who has just arrived here from
Dublin, describes the state of that
city as fearful.
We learn from a quarter on
which we can place great reli
ance, that the Cabinet Councils
held on Friday and Saturday were
occupied in deliberations on the
state of Ireland; that these delibe
rations were caused by despatch
es from the Lord Lieutenant, in
which he mentioned that conside-

Conspiracy in Colombia. $y
an arrival from Carthagena, we
learn that on the 25th Sept. a
conspiracy broke out at Bogota,
in which an attempt was made on
the life of Bolivar. It appears
that Gen. Santander, the Vice
President, was at the head of the
conspiracy, and had brought over
to his views a corps of artillery,
and. with a gang of followers, they
first made an attack on the pris
on, killed Col. Bolivar, and re
leased Admiral Padilla. The re
bels then. proceeded late at night
to the palace, where they rushed
and encountered first a young en
sign, who defended himself, when
Col. Ferguson, an Englishman,
rushing to his aid, was shot on the
spot. Bolivar hearing the noise,
being then in his cabinet, rushed
forward, but finding himself sur
rounded by enemies, retreated
hastily to his cabinet, jumped out
of a window and made his way to
the bridge, plunged in the water
and concealed himself for two
hours, when the rebels supposing
him drowned, returned shouting
through the streets, "Death to the
tyrant and long live Gen. Santan-
it is said, that the brave Spahis
continually hover about the Rus
sian army, as far as the Danube,
had succeeded in capturing after
a brave resistance, a convoy des
tined for the army before Shumla,
with the military chest. The In
tendanls and several civil officers,
with the llulens who escorted
them, are said to have fallen into
the hands of the Turks. The
Turkish bulletin says that the
chest contained about500,000 sil
ver roubles.
The report, says the London
Courier, of Turkey meaning to
declare war against France, ob
tains credit with the Paris papers,
which argue, that as the intention
of the Porte was known to be as
hostile as ever to the emancipa
tion of Greece, and as a Turkish
army is said to be destined to the
Morea, to act against the French,
a declaration of war may natural
ly be expected.
If we may believe the Gazette
of Lyons, Greece is divided as to
the use that she will make of her
independence. The Morea wish
es to put herself under the protec
tion of Russia; the isles of the Ar
chipelago prefer that of France.
It is announced that the Hydriots
have sent an address, requesting
the sister island.
The Lord Lieutenant of Ire
land has issued a proclamation,
prohibiting unlawful ineetings,act-
mg in concert, and assuming the
troubles to Santander. ib.

SOUTH AMERICA.
Brazils. The peace concluded
between Brazils and Buenos Ay
res we do not think will be of long
duration. The origin of the war
was the occupancy of the Banda
Oriental, which, by mutual con
sent, is to be erected into an in
dependent government, but with
means too feeble and a popula
tion too limited to protect itself
from the encroachments of either
power, should either be hereafter
disposed to molest it. The diffi
culties in Portugal, and a change
in the administration of this coun
try, in all probability induced Don
Pedro to close with the proposi
tions for peace, leaving time and
ample means to adjust the Ameri
can claims for spoliations on our
The government of Guatemala
had refused to grant passports to
such of its citizens as were desi
rous of visiting the British colony
on the Balize. The reason offer
ed is that such persons would
disclose the transactions of the
Republic with regard to the Gau
temalian loans. These loans, we
believe, were made to the govern
ment for mining purposes: but the
mines hitherto have not yielded
one cent, and it is expected they
never will, unless the bondholders
go in person and labor at them.
These mines are said to be really
more abundant than those in
Mexico, because the Kings of
Spain invariably ordered that the
mines of Mexico should be work
ed, whilst those of Guatemala
should be reserved for future ages
