NEW-YORK, NOV. 12
Capt. Allen, of the schooner Morgiana of New Bedford, who arrived this morning in 39 days from Palermo, informs us, that the American squadron of eight sail, under Commodore Chauncey, had left Naples, and gone to Messina. The Ontario sloop of war sailed from Palermo for Messina, to join the squadron, about the middle of September.
Mr. Pinckney had closed his negotiations at Naples, and proceeded on his mission to Russia. Nothing certain was known as to the result of his negotiations. It was, however, reported and believed that he had brought the question at issue to a successful and amicable adjustment. It was also reported, but not believed, that he had demanded nine millions of dollars; that he had already received a part of the sum finally agreed upon; and that the residue is to be paid in instalments.
We regret to learn by captain Allen, that one of our naval captains had died on board the squadron. The name of the deceased officer he does not recollect.*
An Italian, Mr. Presteau, who has officiated as a pilot on board the Java, Commodore Perry, came out a passenger in the Morgiana.
Mr. Penostre, a Sicilian gentleman, passenger in the Morgiana, states, that the crops of grain in Sicily are very abundant, and very fine:*
*Probably Capt. Gordon, as he has long been sick.
