SAN SCOASTIAN, OCT 14.—The evening before last a disturbance took place, caused by an artillery man and a corporal. A patrol of volunteers, going the rounds, came about ten o'clock, to La Brechu, where they fouud an artilleryman, who was not a sentinel, with his musket. He gave the usual mi litary challenge—" Who goes- there? " To which the volunteer answered—" The patrol !" Thew tillerytuan replied—" Patrol, or not pair.l," levell ed his piece at the vulunter, crying—"Muera la Cons ! fortunately it missed fire, for, otherwise, as he was so close upon them, it is pro bable that some of them would have been .killed.— The volunteers, seeing the flash, and hearing the seditious cry fired, and.the artilleryman fell wound ed in the left hand, which was amputated yester day. This was followed by a commotion among the volunteers. I ight persons the most noted for dis affection, some of whom are.friars, and one a curate, have been arrested and sent to the castle. It is proposed to send them to Santorini ur Cerunna.— The Ayuntamiento have admonished several other persons to regulate their conduit in contirrinity with the constitutional system, and five strangers, three of whom are lawyers, have beenordsred to leave the town within 48 hours. An article from Vienna, dated October 13, guys —" Mr. Irving, the banker, and Mr. Ward, an officer under Government, arrived here from Lon don a few days ago. They set out fin. Verona the day after to-morrow, for the purpose, it is said, of obtaining the repayment of the sums lent to Austria in the years 1796 and 1797." The complaints of the British merchants respecting the piracies committed uponsour commerce in the West Indies, proceed chitfly from the Underwriter?), who are always the greatest sufferers. and were answered by assurances in the usual style of official perspicuity. At last, about a fortnight since, four vessels of war were dispatched to increase the squad ron under Admiral Rowley, and which was, in due course, most pompously announced in the ministerial prints. In the mean titne'the correspondence has been going on between the " Constituted Authori ties." us the French have it; and this has ended most abruptly, and.left both parties in- mutual- dis gust. The Sacretary of the Treasury, it appears, had desired that two of the committee should wait upon faM at the Admiralty. This mandate gave great offei:ce to the City magnates: they demurred at what they conceived to be derrogatory titan their dignity ; and they, not in official politeness, " de clined," but in very plain refused to comply, alleging that in all interviews heretofore they (the commit tee) had invariably the honour of an interview with their Lordships, and not their servant. The result was an order from their Lordships to the Bight Hon * Secretary, directing him to signify to the merchants in the City that all correspondence fur the future must cease. Sir Robert Wilson landed at Dover, on Wednes day, from France, and arrived in to.vn on Friday, with Lady Wilson. The statement in an Ultra Government paper, is totally unfounded, that he wrote a letter to Mr. Bowring, who is still in close confinement, and not even suffered to have any com munication with his legal adviser, though he has received notice of trial.

Attracted by an advertisement in the morning papnv • Mts. 0., a widow lady from India, attended a sale by auction in Linieoureet, on lVednearley last. When she entered use room. she was politely. asked.so a seat. and upon evincing some apps real ignorance of such proceedings. a person who represented himself us broker recently. commenced •in •businets, 'made a tender of his services to purchase any article she aright fancy; or if she preferred it, she shoiild be at liberty to sell t from his pur chases any furniture that would suit her, and he was swilling. to depend for compensation upon her generosity. Matters proceeded in this way until the fall of the hammer upon the last let declared the sale was terminated. when Mrs. 0., much to her surprise * was. called upon for a deposit upon the purchases, and upon her declaring she hail none. the giiiilemern had MI politely tendered his service, infornied her ti.at the lists he had bought we upon her aconunt, and it was customary to make a deposit. Mrs. 0. hesitated complying with thin de mand, until from the peremptory conduael the auctioneer and his attendants, she became alarmed, and having no money in her pocket, promi sed to go to her agent and procure it; to this nu objadon was made, provided her sister. who had accompanied her, remained as a hostage until her due return ; this also, under the alarm which had been excited, was agreed to, anti Mrs. 0. proceeded to her agents in Devonshire-ware. procured a draft of • 501. upon a banl'er,wltich he paid into the hands of the auctioneer, and (11116 obtained the emancipation of her kinswoman. No sooner had Mrs. 0. and herxister escaped from tlisir impti sonment. for such was literally their situation. but they proceeded to take advice as to their future proceedings, and, accompanied by a friend a professional gentleman. cAlled at the Mansion Heuer. when they were told by the clerk. Mr. Hobler, by Mr Newman. the City Solicitor, and by the Lord Mayor, that nothing could be done but to endeavour to frighten the partiirs into a compromise,- either by a return of the money, or by permitting Mrs. alo tall in an appraiser, and to receive at his valuation a full equivalent for her deposit of 501. In this stage of the business, I was waited upon by the friend • of Mrs 0., to request I would accompany him to carry the last proposition into effect. if no better terms could be made. To diet request I readily acceded, but solely with an intention of urging the parties to a 1-gal investigation of the transaction, which ap penred to me nothing short of fraudulent extortion of ir.emey.aul which I believe is daily practised by a party of swindlers who are constantly imposing upon the pubic by mock auctims. When, however, I arrived at the house, instead of being con sulted upon the business, Me. Cope, the City Marshal. tante out of an apartment where the parties were assembled, and congratu lated the gentleman who had introduced me upon the turn the business had taken, and.that Imbed no doubt the whole of alma money would be obtained back.- I expressed my surprise at such a mode ofsettling the business. and declared if it was their intention to compromise such a Tus can y transaction, I would have nothing more to do with it. adding that I would myself contribute Inuf towards a proseution, and give up gratuitously both time and trouble iu proinnon,,•• so desirable an object.

Sly remonstrances haring proved. iii vain, I addressed myself again to Mrs. O. and she promised, with her friend to call upon me in the course of the day to discuss the propriety of adopting seine measure tot exposing the whole transaction; but that promise not having been fulfilled, I have to request the favour of •you to give this statement a place in you journal. as some slight caution to inexperienced strangers. and wick a hope that sonic professional gentleman will be kind enough to favour the public through the settle channel with tat, opinion, whether nothing more can be mule of such a nefarious transaction titan terminating in adm cur to a city Ungar. 1 11111.

'1 111 E NATIONAL REGISTER. LONDON, MONDAY, OCTOBER 28. The seizure of Mr. Bowring at Calais, and his imprisonment at Boulogne are the only topics of interest pt present on the political Noir.- Some of the newspapers rail loudly on the subject, because the usage adopted towards Mr. Bowring is not ac cordant to English custom—just as well might the British Government be charged with murder, when it sentences a Lascar to be hanged under Lord Ellenborough's Act—because in his own country stabbing and cutting are as common as pugilistic rencontres are here—the fact is, that when any man enters a foreign country he must become amenable to its laws—if those laws are strained or misipplied •ur Ambassador at Paris will doubtics appeal effec tually against such injustice—but while we know that a foreigner here is punished for a breach of our laws as severely as though he were an Englishman, we really cannot join in the vioknt condemnafon of the French Government, until we have reason to know that there exists some ground of complaint on the score of illegal violence or uncalled for severity. The order fur Sir Bibert Wilson's quitting Paris is another ground of" complaint against the French Government—we would ask whether the English Ministers, armed as they are with that disgrace to our Legislature, the Alien Act, would allow any one to remain in London after he had once placed himself successfully between a person condemned and the execution of his sentence—we say no, and then why should we blame the police of Paris, fur having given Sir Robert Wilson his Congi de partir, Accounts have been received from Greece of the most satisfactory nature. Oa the 24th September the Castle of Corinth surrendered to the Christians, and by this achievement the Mores has been again liberated from the Barbarians. This event will be considered important in history, because it has been recoiled by the most brilliant. successes on the part of the Greeks. The Turkish garrison of Corinth, on the 16th of September, made a great effort to raise the siege, but they were opposed by the most determined gallantry, anti driven into•the town with very great loss. One thousand•of them remained in the field, and three thousand wounded returned, and added to the difficulties of the garrison. The obsti nacy of the Turks, which, if. it had been.displayed in the cause•uf humanity, would have been deno minated the highest virtue, could not yield to tnie defeat, and another daring effort was made by them to open a passage through the Christian army, which was, however, repulsed, and the Greeks having, in consequence thereof, made themselves masters of the town and ()rile port, the castle surrendered at dis cretion on the 24th September. Gen. Colocotroni, who conducted these operations, has established his claim to the gratitude of the civilised portion of mankind. Descended from the most illustrious of antiquity, he has vindicated the character of the modern Greeks, and his brilliant conduct will soon add a name to his venerated country, which must gain the respect and admiration of Christian Eu rope. His countlynien are the descendants of the ancient Greeks, the patrons of virtue, of science, and of the arts, and to Englishmen free and en lightened, they must from nece►sity become the most valuable friends. The Turkish Beet, after the loss of six ships which they sustained in an action with the Grecidn navy, attempted in vain to gain the Dardanelles, and were forced back into the.
