i a movement to succour these vessels, seeing them star rounded by the Greeks; but some of the latter making a sudden evolution, were advancing to surround him in his turn. The Capitan Pacha immediately tacked, and retired. ;On seeing the Turkish ships on fire, the Asiatic trOops at Scala Nueva disbanded themielves, and above half of them was dispersed in a few days. On the 30th, the Captain of a merchantman saw Con stantine Canaris at Syra; he was an object of public cu riosity and encomium : he seemed to care little for them. He has refused the honours preparing for him at Napoli'di Romania; and the considerable rewards offered him by the Government of Greece. He answers that he desires only a name and the independence of his country. He is gone to meet the Egyptian fleet. FROM THE SMYRNEAN. SCALA. NUOVA, AUGUST 19. Tor some days the Ottoman squadron was in sight of the Greek fleet, when, after divers insignificant move. ments on both sides, the Greeks, to the number of 30 sail, advanced towards the little channel which separates Samos from the Asiatic Continent about two miles. Scarcely had the Mussulmans perceived the situation of the enemy, when they demanded, with three loud cheers, to be led to battle. Three times the Captain ?ache refused his people the permission to fight, ob serving to them that the position of the Greeks was ad tantageous, and that they would get themselves into a situation of embarrassment. This availed nothing ; the Mussulmen, in their enthusiasm, threatened to mutiny and go to battle without orders. Yielding to necessity , the High Admiral then ordered a division to advance towards the Greeks; this division soon reached in full sail the little channel. The Greeks utteed loud cries, and remained motionless at their post. Three fire.ships Were directed against the Pigate that had the lead. The cordage took fire. The Turk 'by a heavy cannonade endeavours to keep off the destructive fire which is ready to consume him. All his efforts are in vain • courage must yield to. necessity ;*the.. frigate is all inflames ; it , tacks and stands towards :the-Continent. On this the Turkish squadron disperses ; •all fly without hesitation; and the Greeks spreadink all 'their sails, pursue them. In the midst of the-general confusion , the frigate blows bp, a genei-al panic prevails, and the Mussulman elites himself alreadi - oveitaken by ' the 'enemy. Some get into the open sea, others steer towards the coast, Where they strand and Sinn their vessels. Only one Algerine bag, surrounded by the' Greeks, was com pelled to surrender. In this affair the Turks lost a fri gate, a corve,te, and two . brigs. The greater part of the crews of these vessels perished.

In the STAR of Saturday we exclusively announced the flourishing state of the Quattees Revenue, and gave RS correct, an account of the amount of the two most important branches of it—the Customs and Excise, as could then he ascertained. We'now subjoin the Official Returns : and from the following Tables, it will be seen 't11:11 we were perfectly correct in announcing to the Public ons. Saturday, that the Returns for the Quarter's Revenue were " highly favourable, and strikingly ex . hibited the growing prosperity of this great country." On refetiiiig to the tables, it will be seen that, not withstanding the reduction of taxes, and the remission• of the 45,0001. duties on silk, that the increase of the revenue for the year just ended, is 1,181,040/. the pro duce of the Revenue for the Year ending the 10th of October, 1823, being 49,216,0521. and that for the Year ending the 10th of October, 1824, being 50,400,0921. The decrease on the Quarter just .ended, compared with the 'corresponding Quarter of last Year, is only notwithstanding, es we stated on Saturday, du. t ies have. beeti repealed sipce July to the amount of .Z 20,000 a.weelc. The increase on the. Year is, in the Customs, £318,920 ; &amps, £417,077 ; and Post Office, £89,000. The in ,crease in the Post Office is a sure sign of the commer. prosperity pf the country. The decrease on the • Year is in the Excise and in the Taxes, on .account of •their being remitted and repealed. lit the Quarter just ended, the increase is as follows :, _ Excise 278,8991. %nips 147011.P0ti Office 12,15001 The decreaie is the Customs (which we stated on Sa turday to be about 105,000 1 .) is 107,9851.; the ; decrease ln the Taxes is 267,6461. and in the Nlifeellatieous, 75,5031. The total produce of the Qtratter endiiig 'the 10th of October, 1823, is 13,061,5501. and that of the Quarter ending the 10th of October, 1824, is 19,019,0501. leav ing, as we have already stated, it decrease of 12,500/. : how different the result would have been but t for the t duties remitted, and the taxes repealed, we stated on . Saturday. It is, however, much• more gratifying 40 find the Revenue sustained by the increasing resources of the country, when the taxes are reduced, than by its being kept up by their retention. The in crease on all the articles, where there is an in crease, is the manifest result of an improving commerce, and a flourishing state of the country in all its-branches— the decrease is only where Taxes have been repealed to a much larger extent than the Revenge has fallen off; in deed the augmented productiveness of those branches has, to a considerable extent covered the'reduction. We have not time to-day to dwell on the particular items in which the consumption has iecreased, but we sincerely congratulate the country, on its. gi owing prosperity, un disturbed tranquillity, and genet at happiness.
