GREECE: - TRAM TOE JOURNAL DEMIDRBATS. - _ NAPOI4 1)I TOMANIA, JULY 12. The Island of Casos sees the standard of the Cross float anew. The Greeks, who had retired amidst the steepest rocks of their country, having received a rein forcement of fifteen hundred men, rushed down upon the Barbarians, %%hose number amounted to two thou- S3Titi, whilsta natal Greek division entered the port. — The conflict was neither long nor obstinate. The Z%lus selmen, wh i were all Egyptian troops, were surprised overpowered, and killed. Not one of them escaped from the just fury of the' Greeks. Cannon, baggage, ammunition, provisions,every thing fell into the hands of the Defenders of Greece. This I , ews being official was announced by the Pre sident of the Executive Council, sitting at Nauplia. l■wi'' HYDRA, JULY Ht. A brig, as rapid as the wind, at this moment enters our port. It informs us that two thousand Samians having unexpectedly landed on the island of Ipsara, put more than4oooTui ks to the sword on the 11th instant. Our squadron also did its duty. It has captured mul titudes of Turks on board transports. Many women have asked to share the dangers of this campaign and to embark with the fleot to take care of the wounded. 31 7 LY 16TH, IN THE EVENING.—Good news again ! The Candiots have beaten the Egyptians in the vicinity of Canea, and forced them to shut themselves up within that fortress. The open country and the valleys are once more in the power of the insurgents. An attempt to land which Ismael Gibraltar made near Polycastto, has met with no success, and the Infidels, repulsed at every point, have been disappointed in all their hopes. Letters from Smyrna furnish us with the names of the foreign agents and naval characters who co-operated in the calamities of Ipsara. We shall cause them to be known in proper time and place, through the means of the Greek Journal pt inted in our city. TIIE EVENING STAR. LONDON. FRIDAY, AUGUST 27, 1824. THE FUNDS. STOCK EXCHANGE.

It was reported in the City, yesterday afternoon, that ITURBIDE had been taken by a Colombian privateer and hung immediately, which had the effect of im proving Mexican Bonds at the close of the market : although it is by no means an improbable event, yet it at present is but a mere rumour. Letters from Val paraiso of the 2d of May, state, that BOLIVAR, having received the necessary reinforcements, was marching against the Royalists. By the Buenos Ayres Papeis, which we have received to the 30th of May, as well as from other sources, we have amass of intelligence from South America, though it is not of a decisive character. The Buenos ;•' Ayres Argos of the 2i4th, contains an account of the celebratib4 of the Anniversary of the Buenos Ayres Re. tution. The ceremonies and rejoicings began on the 21th, and were continued on the 25th and 26th. On the if fr, last o those chiys a grand diplomatic dinner was given atit e Government House. Commkioners were ap pointed to receive and conduct Mr. CAESAR A. RODNEY, /the American Minister, and Mr. PARISII, the British Cowul, into the hall of the Banquet. As they entered , a band of music played the national hymn, " Uhl mor tales, el Vito sagrado," (Mortals, hear the sacred cry). The number present at this entertainment, the first of the kind given since the Revolution, was 127. A long se: ies of toasts kept the company together till two in the morning, when they withdrew to another room, where coffee was served. On the healths of the United States Minister and the B:itish Consul being drank, Mr. RouxEy and Mr. PA rim respectively returned thanks; the speech of the font er was bombastical, particularly the toast with which it was concluded. " Permit me," said Mr. Rog• VEY, " to drink— " To the State of Ilueno3 Ayres, the load-gar of the South, tt,,! :.nchor of Hope amidst the storms of revolution ; and prospe ri.y to the pilot who has weathered the hurricane. Under her au yices may the union of the other provinces be accomp;ished, and may that utaun be perpetual." The President of Buenos Apes, , aho was in the Chair, gave as the next toast— " To hit 3lajesty George IV. King of Great Britain—to the illustrious and powerful twin') he governs—and to his Consul Cri.eral, our guest, Mr. Woodbine Parish." Mr. PA RISli returned thanks; in the course of which he observed I have had the good fortune to be sent to this country as the first public agent from my nation. You know that one of my duties is, to collect information on the actual statt of the affairs and form of thin Government. Everything I have seen, everything I have Irarned, since my arrival at Buenos Ayres. does so Much honuur to the Governnient and people of this State, that I can assure you with all sincerity, that my repre. , oruttions to my Govereunuit will be consistent with what I hope for—the establishment of relations of friendship with this country, in that mode and form which the progress of its excellent Institutions entitles it to In the face of the world. Gentlemen, with your permission, I drink— , To the peace and prosperity of Buenos Ayres.' Senor RI vADAVIA, by the particular desire of the Pre sident, returned thanks to Messrs. RODNEY and PA R I sir. In - addition to this account of the anniversary dinner, which shews that the inhabitants of Buenos Ayres have alteady learnt something by their connection with this country, that of having a good banquet, and plenty of toasts and speeches, these papers contain some interesting intelligence respecting the two Spanish parties in Peru. —lt is said that there is no chance of any permanent agreement between the Liberals and Serviles. A very extraordinary plan is attributed to the former; and with a view to its execution, General LA SERNA is alleged to be negotiating for the purchase of ships of war in foreign countries. The Spanish Constitutional Consul at Rio de Janeiro, it seems, employs himself in collect. ing there, and forwarding to Peru, all the Unfortunate Spanish exiles who reach Brazil. In March lasr, he dispatched to Peru, a number of these adven turers, preceded by Senor PANuo, one of the Minis ters under the Cortex, who, it is supposed, is to act as assessor to General LA SERNA. It is also said that Senor PANDO carries with him a representation from the Deputies of the Spanish Cortes, soliciting of LA SERNA an asylum for themselves and the Constitution, and proposing a plan for so overawing FERDINAND from Peru, as to check him in his infatuated career in the Peninsula. Whatever may be thought of the reality of this project, the Editor of the Buenos Ayres paper is of opinion that the intrigues which are going on will prove favourable to the cause of independence. Though LA SERNA should refuse to be embarrassed with such a plot, he will be glad to receive the Constitutionalists, that he may have their assistance in promoting his own views ; while, on the other hand, OLANETA, knowing them to be his irreconcileable enemies, must wish to ex pel them. For these reasons it is concluded, that at all events the two parties cannot fail to come to blows. The basis of a commercial treaty is said to have been agreed upon between Great Britain and La Plata, which, when concluded, must strengthen the intercourse between the two countries. The intelligence from Bogota is to the 10th instant. The Congress had determined on supporting BOLIVAR in Peru. Reinforcements had been ordered to be sent to him from all parts. The Intendant of the department of La Guyra had received orders to send off all the troops he could raise. They go by sea to Chagres, where they cross the Isthmus to Panama, and there embark for Peru. General PAzz, Commander of the forces of his department, has summoned all the Officers about here to his head-quarters—among the rest Colo nel STOPFORD, the Editor of the Colombiano. Mr. HENDERSON, the BritishtConsul-General at Bo gota, had presented representations to the Government there, on the impolicy of the regulation by which none but Republican citizens can enter goods at the Custom House ; and it was hoped he would succeed in getting this obnoxious regulation removed. Letters from Lima of the 18th of April, state that CANTERAC had broken up his camp at Hauja, and that his troops have alreadycommenced their march against BOLIVAR, who has fallen back from Huanaco to Cara marea. A division of 2,500 Spanish troops, destined to act on the coast, passed within nine leagues of Lima on the 16th of April, whilst the main body, under CAN TERAC, was moving on by the Sierra road. The Americans appear to be very unpopular at Lima, as we find an urgent request was made by the Captains of the vessels under the United States Bag, to Captain HULL, Commander of the American force in the Pa cific, to come to their protection, as neither the lives nor the property of the American citizens were safe, either from the Royalists or Independents. A letter from Santiago, in Chile, in the Buenos Ayres Papers, gives some curious particulars respecting a papal missionary who has visited that country. It is said—" The Republicans begin to view with some jealousy Senor Musi, the Envoy from his Holiness. They attribute to his influence a sermon which has just been preached here, and in which Republicanism was attacked, and the principles of the Holy Alliance re commended. Much indulgence has, however, been shewn to the priest; for, though he was banished from the capital, he stopped at a convent of friars, where he has been visited at all hours by the Apostolic Vicar. It will perhaps appear to you, as it does to us, a remark able circumstance, that at the same time we were re ceiving the Minister of a great Republic, who came to stimulate us by the example of his nation, this preach ing in the Temple in favour of principles hostile to the Republican system should be connived at. This has happened in Chile ; but surely such a thing will not oc cur anywhere else." The Argos remarks on this subject, that although suspicions as to the Envoy did exist, yet that " the Go vernment of Chile has not felt itself possessed of those legal proofs which would have enabled it to speak as becomes an American authority, in any case in which the military or political trumpets of the despotic confe deracy of Europe may be heard in America." The affairs of Spain are beginning to assume a serious aspect. The account of the seizure of Tarifa, a place, which, if well provisioned,would be almost invulnerable, is confirmed by the report of the Commander•in..Chief O'DosivEr.c, as well as by a private letter.from Cadiz, both of which we subjoin. It is difficult to believe that this can have been the work of 200 Constitutionalists vt ithout any plan to ulterior operations, or understanding that similar attemptswould be niaL:e in other partsof Spain. Indeed a private letter in the Quotidienne, a paper by nu means favourable tr) the Spattish Liberal!, states that great alarm_prevailed at Seville on the 6th anal 7tlk,of the present month; that five hundred Revolutionists, under BALCARCEL, Rthoo's Lieutenant, had taken Irmana and Utrique, and threatened to march on Seville; measures were adopted for the defence of the town. On the Bth, the remainder of the garrison was marched against the Liberals, and it Is said that the threatened attack va, a false alarm. The same letter mentions a iepresentation addressed by General O'DoNNELL to the Government at Madrid, in which he stated, that while AREJCLA, CALATRAVA, and others, were allowed to reside in Gibraltar, there would always be reason to fear the Liberals ; and that he suspected the Governor had an understanding with the conspirators against FERDI NAND. On receiving this representation, the Spanish Minister addressed a note to Sir WILLIAM A'Couar, which is said to have excited the indignation of the latter. Sir WILLIAM is stated to have gone in person to the Spanish Minister, and to have expressed his as• tonishment that such a charge should have obtained credit on the report of a man of so little consideration as O'DONNELL. Private letters from Madrid, of the 12th inst. state, that persons are continually leaving the capital, and it appears that at a short distance from the city, they meet others who furnish them with what is necessary to enable them to join the bands of malcontents that are starting up in every quarter. The most formidable of these bands in the neighbourhood of the capital is one which has taken up a position in the mountains of Toledo. Its numbers are increasing every day. The same letter, in allusion to the affairs of the Ronda, says that TORRIJOS, who appears at the head of the Constitutionalists, " is accompanied by several in ferior Officers; that the troops that landed with him were perfectly well equipped and armed ; that he had landed also sonic thousand muskets, to arm those who should join his ranks ; neither he nor his followers seemed to want for money ; they paid geneiously for everything, and they appeared to be particularly savage' against the priests and monks, several of whom, it is said, who fell into their hands at Gimena, having been put to the sword." Another letter from Antequera, a town in the - Ronda, about 15 miles inland from Mal aga, says," Torrijos is at the head of about a thousand men; that he is abun dantly provided with money and arms; that the gar rison of Tarifa had joined his standard ; and that in all the villages of the mountains of Ronda the stone of the Constitution had been set up; and, finally, that this con spiracy had most extensive ramifications in all the prin cipal towns in Andalusia, in consequence of which, a great number of persons had been arrested for a real or suspected understanding with the conspirators of Gibraltar." Hence it will be seen, that all the accounts concur jn representing the affair as of importance. The following is the Report of O'DONNELL from the French Papers, and the private letter to which we have alluded : a A perfidious faction, composed of about 200 Spa nish refugees, and other obscure inctividuals of the town of Gibraltar, having taken arms, prepared an expedi tion, under the command of the Ex-Colonel Francisco Valdez. This troop having embarked in the bay, suc ceeded in seizing on the town and island of Tarifa, sur prising the weak garrison just as it opened the gates on the 3d of August, at day-break. " Detachments of infantry and cavalry, under the command of Colonel Jose Barrados, marched imme diately from Algesiras towards Tarifa. He immedi ately blockaded the place by land, the rebels not daring to attempt a sally. On the evening of the 6th, a French frigate, of troops of all arms, commanded by General Count Astorg, arrived in the port.— The blockade was then made much stricter, and at the same time three French ships of war, a Spanish schooner, and four armed boats from Algesiras, ap peared before the port, so that all means of retreat for the criminals are cut off. They have not even provi sions to hold out in the place, and fresh troops are ar riving speedily to chastise their presumption. " Public tranquillity has not been interrupted a mo ment throughout all this district, notwithstanding the false rumours spread at Gibraltar by the agents of the Revolutionists, who ridiculously threatened our whole line with a general attack, announcing other landings to the East of Gibraltar. Nothing of all this has happened. 44 The faithful troops of the King, who occupy this camp, have been reinforced this night by a proirincial battalion of .Seville. The whole population is eager to revenge itself for the insult which these traitors offer it, by supposing they may find accomplices among it. The brave mountaineers of La Kenda have risen in'a mass to oppose every criminal attempt. In short, his Ma jesty's service is not exposed to any sort of danger in this fiart of his dominions.—Vive le Roi !—Let all his faithful servants be vigilant to discover whether this plot, which has no ramifications here, may not have some in other places. (Signed) " J. O'DONNELL." Tarifa would have already fallen into our power if the Spanish cannon which our troops had found there had burn fit for the service. All the outer walls are in our possession, but the gates having been walked up, it has been necessary to wait for cannon from Cadiz. They must now have arrived there. Two of olir vesseli; dered by tlw currents, had stopped at Algesii'as. PRIVATE COItItIiSPONDENCE. " CADIZ, ACGINT IL " You will doubtless hear much of the occurrences at Tarifa. The blow appears to have been quite unexpected here; hut whether or not it may lead to consequences of any ultimate importance I think extremely problematical. " The lactic briefly this; that on Tuesday last the town and for tress Of Tarifa were suddenly seized by some Cinstillitionzl Spa niards, who were in secret coniniunicatiodwith a part of the gaui son. Some blood was Shed on the occasion. The Governor, I fear, wat massacred ; and it is Said that several Priests were put to death. The Captain of the Port escaped in the disguise of a com.. mon sailor, and reached this place on Wednesday. Ile sal. th at when he came away the successful party were raising the cry o f Viva el Constitucisn. They had not, however, neglected the more important huilness of levying a heavy contribution on the inhal.it.in ts . " The French Officers litre were immediAtly on the al ert , 'eir names arc as follow :-=l..letrt:General Vicomte lioisac deli Tour, commanding a dieisinn of the French Army of Occupatioa, and•Geverner of Cadiz ;-IStajor-Gcner i d Saporte, cithimantling th e brigade stationed at Cadiz ; Major-General 3louton, tommandinz the htigade :n I.a Isla; and Major-General the Comte d'Hauti feuille commanding the cavalry at Port St. :Mat y's and at Ciiiehna " I am not disposed to think that this ..flair will lead ultimately to very serious consequences, though it may give wine troubl?. the time. Tarifa is so strong as to be deemed imprtgn.:'..t: both 1 sea and land, bulk it is so situated that it may easily be off front all supplies. " Withnut loss of time, a French battalion of frifautry from La Tea, together with a scuadron of cavalry, was dis, che,l agailis; Tarifa, under the command of an active Officer, the Comte tr .I,tnt of the 13th Lancers. They marched nu Wedne.day evenin;-; ar lj shortly a fterwards the Diane and the .lan,m, the only twe Frenzii ships of war remaining in this harbour, proceeded to sea ,kith I ;, e same destination. There was certainly just cause for this alacri as information was soon brought that commotions had also taken place in the small towns of Xiir Vijer, and Medina SttluniA,aut: that upon the whole some benched, of versons well armed had as. semblci at these several points. "The circumstance most adverse to the French tromps Is the hc-ii of the weather. It may not be described as oppressive, but yet ti.e labours of the field are very different from the garrison Antiet o . this place, where, and at the Isla, the soldieis have hitherto remarkably healthy. It must not he overlooked that they are t, to encounter an armed population who know perfectly well ever y fastness in the Sierra." Dutch Papers to the '26th instant reached us tliis forenoon. It appears that a new alarm prevails in Germany respecting Secret Associations, nhich, it is said, are spreading. The King of the NETfiERLANP has confirmed the statutes of the Netl,et laud cial Asssociation, and has caused diligent inquirie; to be made for the prevention and punishment of usw The following are extracts: FRANKFORT, AUGUST 20. We find the following article in a German Paper: The Special Committee of Inquiry at Coper.ich, notwithstanding the great number of persons under con finement, and the difficulties arising from the extensive ramifications of the Secret League, has already pre pared the indictments for high treason against thirty individuals. The Tribunal of Breslau will try these causes; and it seems that some persons will be con demned to death as guilty of a conspiracy violently to overturn the Government, or of a plot against the life and liberty of the Sovereign. Should the principal authors of these plots be punished with all the severity of the law, there is reason to expect that the Royal clemency will greatly mitigate the punishment of most of these young men, who are rather deluded than cri minal. Several of the leaders are said to have under. taken journies into other countries, and to .have entered into associations with foreign malcontents. It is though that the sentence that will be passed will give a just no tion of this dangerous association, which not On :r spreads its pernicious political dieories . amopg the stu dious youth, but even threaten to gain grourid among people in public offices, and private persons. We leala with regret that several Professors, who should hare known the dangerous tendency of such theories, are among the prisoners. "It is affirmed that the police 3f Berlin havesucceeded in discovering, in one of the provinces of the Prus,iaa Monarchy, a secret association, which had the prcject, not only to overthrow the constitution of the Provincial Assemblies, but had also conceived the gigantic project of giving a new organization to all Germany, by ea.!. blishing the system of unity. We look impatiently for the particulars of thit affair, which much excites the attention of the public." PETERSBURGII, AUGUST 4. We expect here M. Warell, who will be appointed Minister at our Court by the Cabinet of London, till tint arrival of the new English Ambassador. Letters from Hamburgh say, that the destination of M. Warell is changed, and that M. Stratford Canning will come to St. Petersburg!' as Envoy Extraordinary, and after wards take the character of Ambassador. Sir Charles Bagot and the Hon. V. Cathcart are de parting for England. The former, it is said, will suc ceed Lord Strangford at Constantinople, and the latter is already nominated Minister Plenipotentiary from Lug land to the German Diet. Prince Felix of Schwartzen burg succeeds M. de Bombelles as Counsellor of Lega tion from the Court of Vienna, and he will also act as Austrian Charge d'Affaires, during the absence of Baron Lebezeltern, who is going to leave us for a time. Tl,c negotiations between our Cabinet and the Courts of Paris, London, and Madrid, respecting the affairs et the South cf Europe, and with the Court of Vienna, on the affairs of the East, are prosecuted without irtc7rup- Lion, and have, latterly, been carried on with inc:cascd activity.
