By q-remarkin the London Cotirier of Novemher T^th, it would seem that the in surrectlon in Portugal Was considered to he of a serious character. It is stated from Odessa, as late as Oct. 14th, that as soon as the late treaty* be tween P*.ussia and Turkey is ratified, “ the Oreek question lately agitated at Constan tinople by Mr. Stratford Canning, and wMch several great powers have declared in the conferences at St. Petersburgh to be European, will be brought upon the car pet, and raise new embarrassments.” Tliis matter has been mentioned so often, and in so many dipjrent places, that we' can not but hope there is something serious in it. It is stated that the Russian and Turk ish treaty,, among other things, stipulates for the entire liberty of the navigation of the Black Sea to the Russian flag., This is a very material point for the former, anc may be considered as an important step towards an open passage for the Russians, through the Dardanelles to the Meditex- r^ean—an object of great importance to tTOm. We think that such a privilege to R u s ^ , would awEdtenthe ap prehensions of Great Britian, mgarding the future policy of the great northern pow ers, and may possiblj^ weigh with her in wishing to free the Greeks from Turkish bondage, that they may form an independ ent nation nt the mouth of the great pas sage to the Black Ssa, and the heai’t of that porti«n of Europe. Whatever may be the particular plans or views of these powers, we hope there is a, project on foot to emancipate.the Greeks, and free them from the dreddful severities of the Otto man yoke. LONDON.' Nm. 7.—~We have received, this^morn- ing, Lisbon Gazettes to the 22d ult. They contain details of the proceedings adopt ed to quell the rebellion which has broken out iii Portugal, and which, it is evident, has assumed a ^nerioUs character We find, also, a Proclamation issued by the Conde de Aloa, the military governor of Algarve, in which he threatens the insur gents with exemplary punishment, but of fers pardon and restoration to the ranks which they have quitted, to all who, within six days, shall return to their duty. The following are extracts:— ^^LISBON, Oct. 18. “ War Office, Oct. IT .—The Count D ’AIoa, in a letter o f the 13th, writes that On the following day, he would join the R.egimeat of Infantiy^, No. 2, which left LagSs with the Militia-of that town ; he has with him the'2d Regli^f AUdlery with 3.4T men, and the Regiment of Militia of Beja was arriving. The Captain commanding at Siles, writes &om that town on the 13 th, that the rebels seemed disposed to retireinfo Spain. The accounts from the provinces of the North 'are from th e l ith to the isth .— Nothing, had occurred to disturb puhUC tranqulliiy.

' - War Office, Oct. 20.— The general of Algarve writes from Almodovaran, on- . the l7th, that he had given oxders to all the troops to march, on the I9th to Faro, where they were to arrive on the 2 0th ; his entranqe into Tavira, will take place on the 23,d. It was known that the reb els had retired from aB points, of Castro .Marino and Tavira, and it is supposed they intended to form in the former place, to which the general .. had determined to march on the 24th. The best spirit con tinues to animate all the troops and thn in habitants of Algarve. “ The Corregidort and the Mayor of Faro, write, on the Ip h , that on the pre*» ceding day, at three in the aftemo0ii, thd last force the rebels, had left that place, proceeding by hasty marches to T g ^ ri, after having taken from foe public coffiers, ail the raoney they contained. Measures had been adopted to guard the town and restore tranquility, which had. been effect ed in perfect order.” __ Intelligence h a s b ^ n received in Lon don from the Western coast of Africa.— On the 7th of August, the Ashantees, amounting to 25,000 men, • had advanced to Doodewan, and were met by 11,000 men, the whole of the British, Dutch, and other, troops, the battle lasted an hour, wlidn the Ashantees fled leaving on the field in killed, wounded and prisoners 500Q msHr The loss of the English, &e. Advices,, dated September the 1st, state that the Pacha o f Egypt had a considera ble fleet prepairing for sea, with supplies for the army of Ibrahim Pacha. They were not expected to set sail till towards the middle or end of that month, when the weather would become more favoura ble, and the passage to the Morea, could be performed in a few days, Letters from Brussels, received from South America, which states that Bolivaj* will never return to Bogota, and that his dictatorship of Feru will terminate in Bis assuming the title of Emperor. PORTUGAL. We have received, this morning, Lis bon Gazettes to the 29th October, They do not speak of the insurrection as having become formidable ; but this may be pret ty distinctly collected from the manner in which the “ Army of Operation” is men tioned, and the various movements direct ed by its commander. The desertion of a battalion of Cacadores to the rebels is officially communicated. No mention whatever, is made of the application for a British force, for the protection of the Pi'incess Regent. The insurgents are said to see through the perfidy of those by whom they have been misled ; but we ob serve nothing to indicate the immediate submission of the malecontents. A granddrawing-room was to be held on the 30th, on which occasion the mourn ing for the late kihg was to be suspended. On the 25th, it was announced from the War Office, that the General Minister of War, commandihg the .army of Operation, wrote from his head-quarters at Mertole, on the 21 st, that the rebels had fled on the preceding day, to Spain. - . |n consequence'of this, he had ordered his a retrograde movement and to ^ f l^ O |f |||j|^ |y ) o s itio h s on the fi-ontlef o f Aiewtejp.

T o n s it appears ti^feveiy point is conceded by the Porte. Nov. 9.--^The Paris papers of Monday, with the Etoile dated Tuesday,' have ar rived in due course. The latter contains some news from Greece. The Captain Pacha, it is said, had landed in the Isle of Samos, and the new Egyptian expedition had arrived on the coast of the Morea.— Accounts from thence state that C(^oco- trimwas about to march with- a strong corps for the relief of Athens; Wliiie from Corfu, we learn, that a force of 5,000 men, under the command of P. Ma- vromichatis, were to be employed for the same object. PARIS. Nov. 8.—In the Betrothment of the In fant Don Diguel, and the Intanta Donna Maria, which took place on the 29th Oct. -at 6 o’clock in the evening, her Majesty Queen Maria Was represented, in virtue of special powers for that purpose, by the Baron of v ilia Secca.

Soon after he entered Garaccas, the Recorder of that city, Don Jose de Irribarrien, calls upon Gen. Paezto permit the people to meet in the Convent of St. Francis, in order that they may deliberate on the best means to secure the political existence of their society. T h e Recorder commences his petition as follows: To his Excellency the Civil and Military # Chief. The municipal Recorder of the Canton of this Capitol, with the utmost respect makes known to your Excellency, that as a nat ural consequence of the late political events in the departments of Asuay, Equa- dor, the Isthmus, Guaysquil, and Magda lena, the Republic of Colombia is in ? state of complete dissolution. It is im possible to doubt the truth of this intelli gence—it is proved by public and official the works in hand, owing to tHe 1 unfortu nate proclamation. I haveio regret that I did not then see that Proclamatfon in the light which I now do.” SOUTH AMERICA.

Sir Leocadio Gusman, a commissioner from his Excellency the Liberator, has witnessed these changes, and letters from Gen.

The consent o f Gen Paez is obtained, who gives the following gloomy state ment o f the affairs o f Colombia. At no period of the Republic has mis- REPUBLICAN. ( B i i ' f f i E i n L a . s .

Cumana was invested by Sea and by land, by Gen. Bermudez. At a public meeting held in th i convent of St. Francisco, the two depar^ents of Venezuela and Apure have been'declared independent of Bogota and the lither de partments. Paez has issued a proclama tion summoning a Congress., tor form a constitution for the confederateti depart ments of Venezuela and Apure. Bolivar, in one of his letters, declares that “ the republic of Colombia has been resolved into fts first elements.” In an other h€ promised to hasten to their as sistance, and recommends the Bq|ivian code to their adoption. So it seems that he is in favour of hereditary monarchy in Colombia as Weil as in Bolivia, and, no donbt, in those othbr countries of Amerl- ica, which, through the means o f the Pa nama Congress, were induced to eater in to \am unquaUfied league, limited treaty, &C.’^ T ie was to leave Lima for Guaya- ilon the ^.5th of August.

I have deemed it expedient whilst preparing for my departure thither, to send Citizen Antonio Leocadio Gurman to Nenezuela, in order that he may com municate to you the ideas which have oc curred to me. you therefore hear them from him in person - Should you & other persons of influence support these ideas, the flame Which is kindling in all parts may be arrested. I propose also the Bolivian code,which with some slight alterations appears tolne suit able to the circumstances of Colombia,— The press will be an efectual orghuin in dining public opinion in favoujf of this code, and in inspiring the utmost circum spection in matters of such moment and a cautious advance in so dangerous a path. By the union of all gooq citizens with our incorruptible army, we ^ a ll sus tain an edifice raised at the pripe of so much virtue and heroism. An' impru dent step may overwhelm us for ever.' ReflectidH and union are allthat we require which lowers around us. I.wiU not afflict you by entering into a painful detail: it is certain, however, that the Republic is fo a state of complete dissolution. Vene zuela and Apure invite to federation; Guayaquil adopts the Constitution of Bolivar; the towns of, the Isthmus seek to behanseqtic ; . Cundinamarea remains firm to centralism. Some Departments resuming their original and primitive sovereignty, name a Dictator ; othera are in favour of the present social compact of Colqihbia, with certain modifications and /eforms ; and in this state o f confu sion, Only one point o f sympathy can be discovered in defence o f the common in terest.

The fact that the passion of hu man nature for the pomp and splendour o f roy> ally and the exercise of absolute authority, is but rarely subdued in the bosom o f the patriot by those emotions of amor patria which have given birth to the friedom o f South America, we arCinow about to see exem p lified in the- character o f Bolivar, the boasted champio-|f Of Southern emancipation—^the f a lsely idolized Washington of his country. That Bolivar should grasp at the visionary semblances of regal power under the name of Dictator, is an event, though hitherto but little expected, yet not more to be wondered at, as the day-dream of a military chieftain, drank with the praise an<l brilliancy o f his own achievements. And, when talking into consideration the ardent tem perament, the habits and religious education of an imaginative people, still dazzled with the recollections of the glare and pageantry of arristocratic distinction and its attendant imposing circumstances, together with the in fluence o f a climate which unstrings the ener gies of nature, and reders the rich haughty and indolent, and the poor servile and ignor-^ ant, and both licentious, 'we are really afraid\ that Bolivar has npt misapprehended the la tent wishes of an unsettled and an Unreflect ing people. It may be the secret and ambi tious motives o f certain' chiefs, to oppose this daring attempt at supreme dictation; but they too, may become subserviant to what they cannot eflectually oppose. We have but lit tle charity for the repuUican notions of our southern neighbors; and much less for the sup posed self denial of their chiefs. They are not endowed with the calm, sedate, and spe culative minds of a northern people ; they never can settle down into that homely and common equality of rank and intercourse.— Their natural reflections are like the dreams of a poetic mind, filled with the visions o f ori ental splendour and the train o f lord and la- dy. It remains to be seen whether the vice pre- sideil? will continue to adhere to the existing constitution et the sacrifice of his life and for tune, and whether ho will not eventually con ceive it to be as much his duty to accede to the policy of Guayaquil and Quito. We WOUffl not wish to be hasty in forming our fconclusions on this subject taiued doubts o f the adaptation o f these south ern natioiiB to the formation of dufable and settled republics.

LE SOUVENIR. t Contrary to our own expectations, and w» presume the expectations of others, we shall be unable to publish “ Le Souvenir” for tha very good reason, that we have not yet re ceived a sufficient number of subscribefa to pay one quarter o f the expense that cessarily be incurred, i f we proceed with it.^-r- We shall'therefore, indefinitely ipostpone the consideration of it. And should we, in the course of the next summer, think it expedient to renew the subject, we will do so, by issuing a number, without an avaunt courier, in the shape of a Prospectus. Subscribers who liave forwarded the amount of their subscription fo this work, will have the same returned; or be entitled to one year’s subscription to the Greene County Republican^, at their pptiori. It is, nevertheless our intention, since Wekave opened a correspondence with our friends in.
