LATEST FROMRUEAVS AMIES, New York, Sept. 19.

The ship Panther, arrived at Providence on Friday from Buenos Ayres, bringing adviros in the latter part of July. The folio w-

nr is an extract of a letter to the editor of

the Providence Patriot. Buenos Ayres, July 21, "The war of the patriot?, on the Banda Oriental, against the Imperialisms carried on with success. The forces of the former are stated at 3000, and the Brazilians 4000 men; but of the latter there are 1200 kept for the protection of Montevideo, and more generally the pariots are stronger in the country, where they gain daily new advantages. By the last accounts a detachment of 300, from the corps commanded by the Imperial General Abreu, had been so completely defeated by the patriots, that only 37 men rejoined the main body. The patriot had drawn a line round the city of Montevideo, and established a Cus-tom-House at Carelones, where every arti-j cle of produce or merchandize, passing in or out of the city had to pay duties. They had established a government at the village of Florida, and deputies from it to the Congress of the United Provinces, had arrived at Buenos Ayres, asking their aid and protection. This circumstance, the news of a corps of Brazilians having invaded the provinces of Chequitos in Upper Peru, and the station of the Brazilian squadron in the outer roads of Buenos Ayres, had so in (lamed

th mi hi ir. mind and the Congress, that.

(some time previous to the sailing of the

Panther, the Congress seemed ready to ue

clare war, even in opposition the executive

of the United Provinces, vested in the gov

ernment of the province of Buenos Ayres, when he gave in its resignation as Executive of the United Provinces; as under pre

sent circumstances no longer compatible

with the interest of their own province

This event, which would have thrown the nation into a state of anarchy, induced the

Congress not to admit the resignation, and quieted in a measure, the opposition which

had drawn the executive government to an

account for their inactivity in preparing for

war, notwithstanding that the Congress had,

as yet, provided no national means or re sources, but that the province, the govern ment had been authorised to apply to na tional purposes, ,500,000 out of the provin

cial treasury, and to supply 1500 men or

dered by Congress to be placed on the vv ru guoy, until the other provinces might fur

nish their quota. No other change in gov

ernment had consequently taken place but

that of D. Marcos Balcarce taking the situ

ation of minister of war instead of 1). La

ernment of Buenos Ayres would try to pre

the city of Buenos Ayres and to construct a dock. The following is a list of the Brazilian squadron: Maria de Gloria, 36 guns Liberal, 23- Cabouel, 18 Real Pedro, 12 and five schooners and two gunboats.

Brazils until they could form a junction with Gen. Bolivar, known to be on the road to

the Upper Provinces. Gen. Alvear, late

Minister to the United States, had left Bue nos Ayres early in July, on a mission to him and by letters dated early in June, it ap

peared that Gen. Sucre had left Chequitos on the 31st of May, to m'eet him (Bolivar) near that city, where a Congress of the four

Provinces of Peru was also to meet. Bv the same mail news was brought that the division of troops detached by Sucre against the Brazilians, who had invaded Chequitos, had arrived near Santa Cruz. When the Brazilian squadron first arrived, it was confidently expected that war would take place immediately. But a correspondence commenced between Admiral Lobos, and the government of Buenos Ayres, in which the Admiral required explanation relative to the insurrection of the Banda Ori

ental having been promoted by a body of

men trom isucnos Ayres and respecting the abuse of the Imperial government by the public prints. On the Minister's requiring to see the Admiral's credentials, he acknowledged he had none, except a letter of instructions. On which the Minister refused to enter into any diplomatic correspondence with him as derogatory to his government

to give an explanation to the commander of

an armed force, appearing in a hostile and threatning attitude but repelled the charges of the Admiral obscrv ing that the relation between the two governments would appear from the result of the mission which would be sent to Rio Janeiro. The Admiral denied that he appeared in hostility but intimated his determination to keep his station, to prevent their furnishing supplies to the Patriots of Banda Oriental. The Indians recently made another incursion into the province of Buenos Ayres, but had been defeated with considerable loss.

THE GREEKS. A correspondence from Gen. Roche is given in the Paris papers, dated from Napoli di Romania, the last letter being of the 28th of June, addressed to the society established at Paris in favor of the progress of the Egyptian troops, of their having taken possession of Calamata and Tripolizza, and of the burnings and barbarous devastations which spread general desolation, and would if continued, reduce the Peloponnesus to a desert. On the 29th of June Ibrahim Pacha appeared before Napoli di Romania, and began an attack at 5 in the morning on an important outwork, called the Mills, which was defended by Prince Ypsilanti, and a small body of Greeks, aided by the counsel and presence of General Roche. The Egyptain forces consisted of 5,G00 infantry, and from 6 to 700 cavalry. In spite of the great ine

quality of numbers, the post was bravely

maintained by the ureeks,and altera resolute resistance against all the attacks of the bar

barians, they succeeded, at 6 in the evening,

in driving away Ibrahim Pacha, with the loss of four hundred men. He directed his retreat by the road which led both to Tripolizza and Calamata, and it was expected the want of provisions would force him wholly to withdraw while the Guerillas were ordered to follow and harrass his march in every possible way. Several letters, dated Trieste, 28th ult. give most important intelligence, and are, we hope, from circumstances entitled to some credit. Two vessels had arrived from the Levant with nearly similar reports respect

ing great successes of the Greeks; one of

them had been spoken by an Austrian vessel off Cape Matapan, the other by a Greekcruiser. The captains had reported that the Greeks had been completely successful in the vicinity of Napoli di Romania. Ibrahim Pacha had found his situation so critical, that he commenced a rapid retreat, but the Greek forces having taken possession of

all the passes, he was brought to action, and

completely defeated; himself a prisoner,

and brought to the capital severely wound

ed. Both accounts agree sn this general

outline. We are however, sorry to state,

that the Egyptian fleet succeeded in throwing in reinforcements into Navarino. Between five and six thousand men are report

ed to have landed in the neighborhood of died the landlord's, with which he rode off

Navarino. A letter from Leghorn, of August 1st, states that the same intelligence had been received there by an Austrian vessel from

Constantinople.

The Neckar Gazette, of the 8th of Au

gust, says, that on the 16th of June, (O. S.)

they observed from the Ramparts of Napoli

vent a war with the Imperial government of di Romania, a retrograde movement of the

Egyptian army. Towards midnight the gov

ernment received the news that Colocotroni

had attacked the rear of the Egyptians and

killed 300 men. On the 17th the enemy was already out of sight of the fortress; on the 20th it was that Ibrahim Pacha had sustained fresh losses near Tigea. Colocotroni was there at the head of 1G,000 men.

On the 24th information was received that the Egyptians had sustained a new defeat

at Phlores, and that he was surrounded in the defiles, so that it will be difficult for him

to get back to the coast of Mcssenia. Gen

eral Roche, who was sent to Greece by the Committee at Paris, to obtain information

respecting the slate of affairs, writes from Argos of the 2d July, that the Peloponnesus

lad risen in a mass, and that the Egyptian

army was annihilated. Never was a popu

lar movement more terrible, more just. The

lie of 400,000 souls was at stake.

Extract of a letter from Havana , Aug. 31. "The city is much agitated to day in consequence of an execution that is to take place to-morrow of a notorious villain and assassin, who counts no less than nine coldblooded murders with his own hands, besides a number in which he was an accomplice, and a still greater number of robberies and stabs. Astonishing as it may seem, this monster has so many friends, that, after having been thiee times condemned, he has found means to appeal, and lately did so as a soldier, to a court martial, who have now ordered him to be hung and quartered. Much fear is entertained of a commotion, and all his relations are held in custody until he is no more. The execution of nine negroes concerned in the late insurrection, is to take

place this day at Matanzas they consist of

one ot the ring-leaders from each of the seven plantations, and two from the city. "Another plan of an insurrection of more consequence has lately been discovered, and sixteen blacks, several of them French and English, have been convicted, and have contested that their object was to destroy all the whites they could, and to promote a g c n e r a 1 i n s u r r e c t i o n 7 '

From the Boston Patriot, Sept. 17. ! An accomplished ihif. The following circumstances have been narrated to us as having occurred in a town in Worcester county. The j present a skill and boldness in the way of thieving, which might do credit to the most accomplished graduates of European prisons, and a genius worthy of the most noted 'of the light lingered gentry in this

country. A man on horseback, in the dress

ot a farmer, overtook upon the road a lad

driving a yoke of oxen, w ith whom he en

tered into conversation; in the course of which he learned of the lad, that he was driving the cattle to a distant pasture, and

that his father was back upon the road.

nut was to meet him at a certain tavern.

The man when they came near to the ap

pointed tavern, told the boy to go forward to the house and direct the bar" keeper to make him a mug of punch, and he would immediately follow on with the cattle; but as soon as the boy was out of sight, which was but a short time, for his generous and unsuspecting nature prompted him to great alacrity in the discharge of his commission, to oblige his quondam companion, he turned off with the cattle into a bye road and drove them some distance round" and bevond the tavern. In the mean time the mug of punch was made, and the boy and sooithe father were both anxiously waiting the coming of the man with the oxen; but after nearly exhausting their stock of patience in waiting, and then wearying themselves in an unsuccessful search after them, thev set off for their homes. The following day the man drove the cattle back to the tavern, stating that he had purchased a yoke of oxen, but they did not drive well," and he doubted whether they would answer his purpose, and remarked that he had been induced to buy them because they had been offered cheap, but as they did not exactly suit him, he would sell them at a small advance on

the cost. The landlord who had never be

fore seen either the driver or the cattle, and

not therefore the least ground for doubting the correctness of the story told him, finally

bought them, and the man spent the night

at the house. It had not escaped the watch

ful eye of our traveller, that the landlord

had a very handsome horse in the pasture

into which his horse had been put; he, there

fore in the morning, with a view to an exchange, took his saddle on his arm, telling

the landlord he would save him the trouble

of bringing up his horse to the door, by tak

ing him from the pasture as he passed along.

As others have done before him, however, he mistook his horse, and saddled and bri-

towards the seaboard, where he sold him at

a very high price. In the course of the day the owner of the oxen came to the tavern to inquire if any thing had been heard of his stray cattle, and was not a little pleased to find them in the landlord's possession. But the chagrin of the latter was equal to the satisfaction of the former, on finding that he had purchased unwittingly the cattle stolen from the farmer the day before. In such a case, however, there is no appeal, and the right owner drove off his cattle. With the money he had received for the horse, our traveller transformed himself into a well dressed gentleman, and in his disguise, retracing the road he had travelled, called at the tavern where he had before stopped; and while very carelessly looking round the bar room, discovered among others the landlord's advertisement for his horse, offering a reward of 100 for the return of the identical horse which he had stolen. After questioning the landlord as to the correctness of the description given of the horse, and severely taxing his own recollection, our gentleman in disguise remembered that he had seen such a horse somewhere in his travels; and upon being assured by the landlord that the offered reward shduld be paid on the horse being returned to him, immediately set out for the seaboard, contrived to steal the horse from the person to whom he had sold him, and returned to the tavern keeper, who paid him the reward; but the landlord's suspicions being awakened, inquiry was instituted, and in the assumed garb of the gentleman, was discovered the "farmer," the "ox thief," the "driver," the "horse thief,7' and linalhy the gentleman in disguise.

The General came on board about 10 o'clock, accompanied by the Secretary of the Navy, Commodores Bainbridge and Jones, &c&c. The ceremony of the General's reception was exceedingly interesting and impressive the yards wcieaii manned in beautiful style, and soon after he and the Secretary of the Navy were received at the gangway by Captain Morris, a salute was fired in honor of the occasion. Of the toutensemble of the scene it is impossible to give you an adequate idea you ought to have witnessed it as something that you would never forget, and could not forget if yon would. Captain Morris, with the mildness and comtesy which distinguish him, received ev

ery one with atlabihty lost sight of not the

minutest duty or ceremony had the ship exhibited in every part to all who w ished to see her, and entertained the very large

company with an elegant collation. There

were many sentiments given, of appropriate feeling and character, which I cannot furnish, but of all the incidents, the most touching was the address delivered by General

nnth on behalf of the citizens from Balti

more, and General Lafavette's reply. Thev

both burst into tears, and every one present

was so overcome with the emotions excited by the scene, I cannot attempt to give vou a

sketch of what passed. The old General

once again paid the tnhute or resnecttul

gratitude to the Ladies of Baltimore. It is to be remarke d that their services were ad

verted to by him on the first public occasion after his landing at New York, and now a-

gain at the very moment of leaving cur shores forever, he renews the expression of his profound gratitude and affection for the

'Ladies of Baltimore.'"

In the evening when the Secretary of the Navy left the ship, the yards were again manned, and a salute fired, amidst general cheers.

Baltimore, Sept. 0. LAFAYETTE'S RECEPTION CW BOARD THE BRAJYDYirLXE. We announced on Thursday that the

steamboat Constitution had left this city on the preceding evening with a large party of gentlemen for the purpose of paying a farewell vistit to the beloved Guest of the Nation on board the frigate Brandy wine. Our readers will peruse with mingled emotions of regret and pleasure the subjoined account of this event, which has been politely communicated by a gentleman of the partv: "We left Baltimore at 9, P. Id. on Wednesday, and arrived at the mouth of the Potomac at 9, A. 31. on Thursday morning, where we found the Brandywine ridin proudly at anchor, awaiting the Nation's Guest.

High life at a Watering Place. We learn that a singular rencounter lately occured in fashionable life at one of our Wateringplaces, filled with taste and fashion: A gentleman who had been indulging in copious libations, not of Spring Water, and being in vino Veritas, went up to his chamber to disencumber himself of coat, cravat, and other obstacles to a free circulation of air while fanning himself with an old newspaper, the American perhaps, he heard the voice of a female chaunling an air with much sweetness in the adjoining chamber be joined in as a second she sung first she paused he paused she commenced another air, he followed, until charmed with the voice and good nature of the warbler, he presumed to approach her cage, when suddenly the whole house was alarmed by her shrieks Waiters ran across the corridor lodgers sprang from their beds the intruder had retreated indignation followed him. One of our honorable judges, in a mistaken pursuit after the culprit, burst in the door of a member of the Hartford Convention, who was bathing his feet for the gout, and charged him with an additional and original sin, which he denied with much spirit, and high words passed. The offender was found; scudling and an attempt at horse-whipping

followed on the piazza, w hich was succeeded by explanations, mutual apologies & Champaigne. Sir Benjamin Backbite, who is at my elbow, declares that 1 have told the story wrong there were no singing there were several ladies in the chamber with the door ajar, and several gentlemen were talking jocosely and gallantly to them from the corridor, but one with more temcracity, as Sir Benjamin calls it, than the rest, pushed open the door when the shrieking began however, my story is the best and most romantic. Every year we have some fashionable fracas at the Springs. They drink so much water and Champaigne it makes them quite frisky. j"o a K 's Adv.

Cincinnati, Oct. 3. Improvement of the Ohio River. Mr. Bruce who has the contract for clearing this river of all snags, and obstructions to navigation, had reached Maysville early last week, w ith his boats and implements for performing the work. He had commenced at Pittsburgh, and descended thus far, cutting off in his progress, the largest description of trees, to low

water marx.

This improvement will be of great bene-

! tit to the western states but the advantages

anticipated bv the removal of all obstructions to navigation, would be more lully realized, were the logs, after being sawed off, carried out of the stream. We are informed that this is not done that they are dropped frequently across the channel of the river, and prove more dangerous to navigation than when they first presented themselves. It was the intention of government, wc piesume, to cause the complete removal of these obstructions: the appropriation for this purpose was large, ai d sufficient for the accomplishment of the undertaking, where
