Our Correspondents, at least, famish us with nothing that can be reconciled' 'with these statements. The best informed German journals have accounts from Tripikaza of the 15th dune, which say that Ibrahim had, probably, met with some vsistance in the Nona ' since he was waiting to 'tommence operations, for the Seraskier to aJvance by way of Corinth; but he was himself at l'sipolisza. The preparations for defence are carrying on with glen diligence at Napoli di Romania, where some vessels with ammunition had arrived from England, which announced the coming of Lord Cochrane. FROM THE AUSTRIAN OBSERVER. The Amblers Observer has some accounts from Con stantinople of iOth June, in which it is stated, that the , excesses committed by the Greek pirates daily increase, -and that complaints are received from all quarters. and .from all orations trading in the Levant. The coast of Syria, too, is still infested with Greek pirates ; however, an attempt made by them on the Bth of May, to sur prise the Port of Alexandria, was entirely defeated by the judicious measures of the Authorities and the inha litants. While the ships of the insurgents are every where exercising robbery and pillage, the Turkish and -Egyptian squadrons cruise without obstacle in the Archipelago. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON.

The sailing of Lord COCHRANZ appears to have excited much uneasi ness wherever the news has reached. Letters born Vienna report that dispatches have been seat to Baron OTTEuraLs, at Constantinople, in conse quence of the news which has been received, by way of Tiieste, of the reported arrival of Lord COCIIRANE in the Archipelago, with a squadron to join the Greeks. It seems to be Ibtonded to prevent the disagreeable im pression which this news will make on the Ottoman Government, by representing to it that Lord COCHRANII has long since ceased to hold a commission in the Bri tish 'vial service, and be is therefore at liberty to enter the service of any foreign Power whatevers Private ltt•es from titutgard speak of the new Re- volutiortary intrigues and secret associations, said to have been discovered in the University' of Tubingen.

The Poles, and especially the Ladies, slew great seal in the cause of the Greeks.

Our Journals contain various accounts a - damage dose by storms, in many parts of the kingdom. We have received Philadelphia and Baltimore Papers to the 15th, and New York Papers to the 21st of June. They contain some intelligence from CaractasOut it is not of so recent a date as that received through more direct channels. They contain an 4c ctunt of the charge ag4inst General PAIL in consequence of which he was suspended from the office of CirnmAnding General of Venezuela, and ordered before the Colombian Senate to take his trial. It appears, says one of these gapers, that the. Colombian Government passed a law requiring the enrolment of its military, pretty much upon the plan of that adopted in the United Status, and, as chief of de partment, General nix was called upon to carry the provisions of the Act into effect. Instead of performing . this duty as became a man tenacious of me rights of the citizens, he orders a detachment of regular troops to bring to head quarters, by force, !perms subjected to the law ; and for this violent outrage he is justly accused before the constituted Authorities of,the country. What steps the Colombian Government will now adopt, in the new position in which General 'PA Z is placed, remains to be seen. The Mexican Government seems determined not to make the slightest concession to Old Spain ; and its contiguity to the United States is a strong guarantee of its independence i in republicanism it is rivalling its neighbour. On the Bth of May the Senate of Mexico paned una nimously the following resolutions:- 1. The United Mexican States will never listen to any proposi tion of Spain or other Power, If it be not founded in the absolute recognition of their independence under their present form of go. vernment. 3. Nor will they at any time accede to any demand of indemnity, tribute, or contribution, which the SpaniAlt Government, or any other Power in its name, may disks for the lon a its an cient su premacy over these countries. 3. The individual or individuals subject to the laws of the Meta. can Republic, who shall propel* or promote, either by speech or writing. publicly or secretly, within or without the Union, the pro. position anutiened in the first Ruolution, shall be deemed guilty of treason, and punished with dank; and eight years of imprison , ment shall be inflicted on him or those who shall promote what is abjured in the second Resolution. 'The foregoing Resolutions were stmt to the Chamber of Deputies, and confidently expected to pan that body. A Resolution is also said to have paned both Houses of the Mexican Congress, that . no commerce will be held with any Power that does not recognise the independence of the country, and that nothing will be green to Spain u all indemnification to recompense for her acknowledgment of the ladepeodente of Meek.. r t, The Mexican Canvass have passed a decree, alsolishiag for ever all titles of nobility, such as Count, Warmth. &c. that all persons shall be considered as equal by mature, whatever may be their origin. By the Pontnna. artived in the Clyde (says the Glasgow Cburier), we have received Jamaica papers to the Seth May. They contain an order by the Spanish Government, pub lished in Cuba, directing the rigid enforcement of the laws. to put an end to the Slave Trade. The outward packet (the Plo►er) al.. rived at Jamaica on the 22d May, and ought to leave it on the 11th June. The following are the only curiae that appear of interest to the Enropean reader : NASSAU, N.P. Mar 6. " Early this morning a large ship appeared in the *fling, and entered the harbour about seven eclock, which proved to be his 3lajesty's ship VALOROUS. Captain the Bari of Hutßingdon. from Jamaica and Honduras, having on board the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Jamaica, Bcc. en a visit to this portion of his Diocese. " His Lordship left the skip under a 'elute, and landed at one o'clock at the public stairs (at which moment a salute was fired 1 from the guns of the garrison). and was received by the Members of the Council and a 'Detachment of the 2d West India Rifillnsest, through two lines of which he walked to a carriage prepared for his reception, and proceeded to the President's house. " The Lord lliabop is' accompanied by his Secretary, Hamm [Ancona, Esq. and the Rev. Mr. Parreasov." The suppression of the Janissaries, supposing it to be as complete as it is represented, is one of the neon important events connected with the Ottoman Government that has occurred for many years. This corps, which has so long ruled paramount at Constantinople, had its origin in the youthful captives whom Awe. SATRE I. made in a predatory irruption into the provinces of the Danube. Though originally Europeans, they were educated in the religion and warfare of the Turks, since called Janissaries (leniaskeri, or new soldiers). For a long time these troops greatly contributed to extend the conquests of the Ottoman power, and hence they enjoyed peculiar privileges; such as the guardianship of the &Armes person beyond the Seraglio--tlaey formed the garrison of the regular fortresses, the keys of which could only be intrusted t o their Chiefs—they lied also continued pay, and pensions on retirement. The corps at length Were so despotic, that imse of the Sultana endeavoured to debase it by permitting the lowest vagabonds to enrol themselves among the Jaalseariei; and how well they played their part is evident from the nonierous insurrections and burnliogs which have taken place in Ceostendoople. For mauy years the Sultans have been anxious to abolish the inbound, and introduce the European discipline among the Turkish monies; a trilling cir cumstance gave rise no it. which is thus related by Ent, in the Survey of the Turkish Empire, published I. 171 M ; " The Grand Vizier, Toner Pacha, in the late Russian war, had a prisoner who was by hint' a Turk ; but, being carried early in his youth to Moscow, he bad become a Christian, and found in a Russian Nobleman a patron, who gave him a pod educe. ties, and placed him in the army. tie was a Lieutenant when he was taken prisoner, and had the reputation of being a good dicer. The Viakr took pleasure in conversing with bim, for he had not wholly forgotten his mother tongue. He repre sented the advantages of the European discipline, nee only in battle, buts every other point of view. and particularly in securing the army from mutiny. By his persuasion the Vizier formed a null corps, composed of renegadoes sod a few indigent 'Parks, to whom the prisoner taught the European exercise, which they used to per form before the Vizier's tent, to divert him. “ Peace being concluded, the Vizier returned to Constanthiepie, and conducted this corps with hint.

FRE. • The Serious Opera of gelmira, which introduced Roma and his wile to a gritish audience, as conductor and prima derma in 1844, *as revived on Thursday, for Signor Custom's benefit. It 'was repeated on Saturday night. A musical critic has observed, slut " the composer has obviouslywritten this Opera with more care t►an usual, and has studied striking combinations of harmony and ae= companiment, more than melody." It is. perhaps. to remedy this that Madame Pura, who represents Zeinsira, has intrositieed a salsa composed for her by Rossini, which was encored. Madame PAM sang in the must impassioned manner throughout. Counter, as .4fraersore, was energetic and impressive ; the dethroned Atiitioro was sustained by Pat.:Ammo, who gave the tender air, ‘ , 4IA gie eresevrse," with great feeling; Madame CoRNROA, as Emma, ong effectively, in the concerted pieces, of which there are many very beautiful; and Foam and TORRI, as Leucipps and Ile, sang with their usual ability—we could wish for greater energy in the Fatter. The Opera was received with immense applause. The Ballet of Le Rol Champetre concluded the entertainments. The House teas wvU attended. SOUTHAMPTON, JULY 15.
