The neglect of the English Admiralty is quite be hond my comprehension. The Medi;:a and the Race orse are the only vessels stationed in the vicinity of Smyrna, while the French squadron is 16 sail. A French two-decker, a 60-gun ship, arrived at Smyrna in the latter end of July, with Admiral Halgan on board. The Dutch have one ship of war of 36 guns. I have a friend at Salonica who writes me word, on the 31st of July, that official accounts have been received there of the passage of the Straits of Ther mopylae by Mahomet Pacha, and of the subsequent taking of Livadia. This advantageous position will enable him to detach a large portion of his force for the Morea, for which destination Bairam Pacha, at the bead of 12,000 Asiatics, is also passing. Thus I expect very soon to hear that the Greeks in the Morea are reduced to submission, as their con tending against such a force is entirely hopeless. It may be a few years, however, before those provinces are restored to a state of tranquillity, or the Greeks and Turks, even in appearance, have the same degree of mutual confidence as before the insurrection. A report is just current, the truth of which I have not time to ascertain, that the Turkish Government, in conformity with the dictation of the Russian note, have published an amnesty to the Greeks for three mon hs. How far this evidence of sincerity, if that is the case, may influence the decision of the Russian Cabinet towards peace, there is no saying; but, un less war at all events is resolved on, it ought to have some weight.

Letters have been received from Constantinople to the 11th, from Smyrna to the 3d, and from Odessa to the 17th of August. In our preceding columns ♦ve have given copious extracts. The tone of the ac counts from Constantinople is rather of a gloomy complexion, caused, no doubt, by the departure of Baron STROGONOFF ; for no other occurrence had taken place, to justify the anxiety which was exhibi ted. His remaining there nearly two weeks, after he bad announced his determination to depart, naturally gave rise to speculations of the most favourable kind which were succeeded by as anxious forebodings, when the fact of his having sailed became known. It was reported at Constantinople, that the Porte had sent orders to the different provinces, that no more Greeks should be executed without its express per . mission. It was also rumoured that an armistice of three months had been proclaimed, for the purpose of inducing the Greeks in the interior to return to obedience. The boasted victory of the Greeks over the Turkish fleet is reduced by the present accounts, to the fol lowing facts :—The inhabitants of Samos, terrified by the approach of the Turkish squadron to their shores, thought it wiser to prevent the landing of the Moho inetans by a timely supplication, than to take the, chance of repelling them after they should have dis embarked. Offers of submission, therefore, and en treaties for pardon, were dispatched to the Admirals who received them favourably, on condition that the ringleaders of the revolt should be delivered up.— This being accomplished, the Turkish Admiral re mained a few days, and proceeded on his course for Rhodes, there to effect ajunction with a small squa dron from Egypt. The junction is said to have duly taken place, and the combined armament to have sailed next for Prevesa, on the coast of Epirus, where a further reinforcement was obtained of fifteen or six teen vessels under the Capitana Bey, after which the whole fleet was supposed to have returned forthwith to the Archipelago. When the Turkish Admiral sailed from Samos, he left behind him, at Scala Nuova, transports to the number of eight or ten : these, on the subsequent ap proach of the Greek fleet (nearly 100 sail), were burnt by the Turkish crews themselves, to prevent them from falling into the hands of their adversaries. On the passage of the GRAND SEIGNIOR'S fleet from Samos to Rhodes, it sailed southwardly in several divisions, one of which falling in with the Greeks, and being overmatched, retired to Stanchio. The Greeks, unable, or fearing to attack them, sent in some fire-ships to destroy a Turkish man of war; when the Admiral, CARA ALI, manned his launches, and towed away three of them to a distance whence, they could do no harm, though at the risk of every moment blowing the boats' crews into the air : the fourth ship the Turks courageously boarded, and took possession of, extinguishing her already lighted match, A dreadful scene is described tcxhave taken place at Scala Nuova, where the troops, disappointed that they had not been embarked and allowed to plunder Samos, revenged themselves on the unhappy Chris tians, of whom, after a series of shocking outrages and excesses, 600 or 700 are supposed by the writer of the letter to have perished. Smyrna remained tranquil at the date of our ad vices, and was is a more settled state during the pre ceding week, than it had been since the commence ment of the troubles. Orders had been given by the Pacha, that the bazaars and shops should be opened; which were partially complied with. Little business, however, was done; and confidence was far from being restored. Much ummaineft was caused by the *- return of the troops from Scalanova ; and though the Pacha had issued the strictest orders that none should enter the town ; yet several of them entered in con tempt of the prohibition. The fear of this disorderly soldiery induced most of the French and Dutch mer chants to seek refuge again in the shipping in the port ; and the British Consul sent a Circular round to the English merchants, desiring them to act ac cording to circumstances, declining, however. to point out to them any specific course. The letters are loud, indeed vehement, in com plaints against the Authorities at home, for not de taching a naval force for the protcc nof British persons and property. There was but one armed vessel, belonging to England in the harbour ; whilst our merchants were obliged to look for security in case of danger to the navies of France and Holland. The force belonging to the former, was most respect able; and the French Government seemed to exert itself in proportion to the shameful apathy displayed by ours. Even Austria had a larger force in those seas than we had. Never before, we believe, in our maritime annals, was the naval power of the country wielded with so little effect as it is at this moment. If this weakness be a consequence of the economical system pursued at the present moment, it must be confessed that it is carried too far ; for parsimony in such things is more culpable than profusion. We mentioned, a few days since, that the Porte had raised the embargo on the corn vessels which had been so long detained at Constantinople. A copy of the Note which was addressed to the French Am. bassador on the occasion, has been received in the City, from Paris, and is as follows : TRANSLATION OF AN OFFICIAL NOTE PROM THE PORTS TO TIIE AMBASSADOR FROM TRANCE. (TILANSMITT/LD TIM 9TH AUGUST, 1521.) " In consequence of the rebellion of the Rayas, the regula tions for the provisions of Constantinople, to be derived from its neighbourhood, having been rendered insufficient, this capital is ultimately deprived of the necessary quantity of grain. But this article being the first and most urgent of the wants of the peo ple, it has become requisite to take measures to procure it in abundance; and it is above all things clear, as all the world knows, that for the tranquillity and good order of an empire, it is necessary sometimes to have recourse to extraordinary means. " This is the reason, it has been agreed for some time, in presenting Official Notes to the Ministers and Charges d'Affaires residing at the Ottoman Porte, that the vessels of the Merchants,. depending on friendly Powers, which should arrive at Constan tinople from the Black Sea, with cargoes of corn, had been sent to be ground in the neighbourhood of the magazine, in order that the Government might buy the corn, as had been practised in times past. Now the Sublime Porte, finding that it has al ready bought from the vessels of the friendly Powers, a quan tity of corn sufficient fer the capital, it affords permission to the Agents of tke friendly Powers, who shall arrive in future at the port of Constantinople, with cargoes of corn, to transport them into the White Sea, in order that they may not be prejudiced in their mercantile operations. and orders have been issued on this subject, and expedited to the Officers of the Sublime Porte in consequence. " But as the Sublime Porte requires, in an amicable manner, that the said Merchants may not sell grain to the Pirates that cruise in the Archipelago, the very distinguished Ambassador, our friend, would do well to order the French Merchants who arrive in future from the Black Sea with cargoes of corn, and who have now permission to transport them to the White Sea, that seeing the amity firmly exiting between the Porte and the Court of France, they may not sell grain to Pirates. " It is, then, to request him to be pleased to give this order to kis Merchants, and to give proofs of his kindness and his wisdom, even in this circumstance, that silo present Official Note is written and sent to him. " 11th Talkaacte, 1236—(9th August, 1821)." We have received.to-day Austrian Observers to' the 2d of September. They contain what has, for a' long time, been a great novelty—authentic accounts from Morea and Livadia ; and we regret to say that they arc extremely unfavourable to the cause of Grecian emancipation. The following are extracts : VIENNA, SEPTEMBER]. By the latest accounts from Constantinople, of the 10th August, it appears that news had been received there from the Morea and Livadia, which state that the Imperial troops had succeeded in driving the Insurgents from some districts of those provinces, and in restoring tranquillity there. The details arc contained in the following extracts from a Report of Mahomed I'acha, Governor of the Morea, to the Grand Vizier, of the 23d July " I inform your Excellency that I arrived before Livadia on the 23d June, and encamped here with my army. The Rajas had murdered the greater part of the Musselmans in this province, violated their women, and made their families slaves. They persisted in their rebellion; and, when they learned that troops were advancing against them, the Insur, gents of the surrounding districts united with those who formed their advanced posts in the Morea, and entrenched themselves in Livadia. To prevent the desolation of the country, and to treat them with moderation, I sent several flags of truce to them, who summoned them, to avoid the impending mis- fortune, and declared to them that, if they would submit, they might expect security and pardon of what had passed from the Sublime Porte. ig Without paying the slightest attention to this generous offer, the Insurgents agreed together that they would lam suffer themselves to be considered as Rajas for the future, and began a fire of cannon and musketry from the fort and entrenchments. " Early in the morning the army drew up in three lines and began the battle. Victory declared for the Musselmans, and the greater part of the Insurgents were cut to pieces. Of those who remained about 1000 escaped into the fort, and 1500 retreated with . their arms into the houses. One or two of these houses were set on fire to make room for the van of the army, and if necessary, to storm the place. A high wind suddenly arising, spread the flames ; the Insurgents who had fled into the houses, were the victims, and almost the half of the large and hand some buildings were consumed ; and it was with dif ficulty that those lying on the top of the mountain I were saved. As the fire caught the house in which I myself was, I was obliged to remove to another. " On the day of my arrival before Livadia, a cer • tain Captain Dissuvo had left the city, and collected a band of rebels a mile and a half off. It was there fore necessary to :take measures for hindering them from coming to the aid of the Insurgents shut up in the fort. For this purpose I caused the village to be attacked with 2,000 men. The enemy was entirely defeated: 1.50 dead and as many wounded remained on the field. When the enemy shut up if the fort saw that there was no deliverance for them, they threw themselves in despair from the ramparts some were killed, others dreadfully mutilated : those that were still in the fortress begged for mercy for them. selves, their wives, and children, and it was granted them. 4, In this engagement there have perished in all above 3000 of the enemy, partly by the sword and partly by the flames. As the Koran says, 6 When l thou bast gained a victory over thy enemy, thou shalt pardon him, in order to testify thy gratitude'— the remainder of the Insurgents could reckon on the magnanimity and mildness of the Sublime Porte, which was, in fact, shewn towards them, when they declared their submission, and begged permission to 'return to their houses. A Buluk-Baschi was ordered for this purpose, with a detachment of troops, to re ceive them in the Castle, and to conduct them back to their dwellings. This was done, in solemn pro cession, amidst the acclamations of the conquerors, carrying before them the standards taken from the rebels." Ibrahim Pacha, of Brussa, is still encamped near Bujukdere, on the Bosphorus; he has received fresh reinforcements of troops from Asia. One of the first Officers of this Pacha has been lately promoted, and has also received the horse-tails. They have been also restored to two other Pachas who were lately de posed : one of them received the Government of Can dia, with orders to restore tranquillity in that island. The Installation of the Kadiushens of Romelia and Anatolia took place at Constantinople, in the begin ning of August. Sikdi Effendi obtained the first of these places, and Behiet Effendi, formerly the Sul tan's Physician, the second. Among the most remarkable works of the late days is the execution of Veli Pacha and Monitar Pa cha, the two elder sons of Ali Dependeli, Pacha of Jusiinina. The first was in exile at Kutahie, and the second at Kaissarije. A Greek, disguised as a Der vise, served them as a spy ; he was arrested at Con stantinople, and the correspondence found ou him betrayed the secret of the sons of the tyrant of Epirus. The Royal French frigate the Lily has brought to Smyrna Rear-Admiral Halgan ; he immediately hoisted his flag on board La Guerriere. The events which most European Journals have announced with so much confidence, such as the par ticipation of the Jews in the dreadful excesses com mitted on the dead body of the Patriarch, the viola tion of 150 Greek virgins in the Bazaars, and so many other reports, are wholly unknown in Constantinople, and absolutely fictions, originating in other countries. The heads of the Jewish community at Constan tinople have even taken public steps to refute the re ports relative to their nation, since the well-known affair at Odessa too well justifies their apprehension of similar re-actions in other places. The plague has made no farther progress at Smyrna . In the capital no symptoms of it bad yet appeared. WALLACHIA AND MOLDAVIA. Troops of the dispersed insurgents still harbour in the recesses of the mountains of Moldavia, and are very dangerous to the tranquillity of the Province. One of these troops appeared on the 19th, in the evening, quite unexpectedly, before the town of Nyamz, in which there was a Turkish garrison of 25 men, surrounded the town, and set it on fire in three places. The Turkish garrison, and then all the Jew ' ish inhabitants, threw themselves into the Church of St. John, which, however, was soon set on fire by the Insurgents on all sides, and was still burning at the departure of the Messenger, who was a witness to the horrible scene. A corps of the Turkish army was expected from Jassy, which is destined to put an end to the farther incursions and marauding of these remains of the Hetarists in that province. A Mail arrived this forenoon from Holland, with Papers to the 12th instant. The following ankles from Brody are quite at variance with the Augsburg accounts which we published yesterday, respecting the movement of the Russian forces : BRODY, AUGUST 9. The German papers greatly exaggerate the Rus sian warlike preparations and marches of troops. The greater part of the Southern army, under General Count Wittgenstein is still in its old cantonments, and bas merely detached some light troops to the Prutb. The West Army, as it is called, has not yet made any movement whatever. Auousr 14.—With the exception of a large mass of troops which is between our town and Odessa, no thing is observed that indicates that Russia will take an active part in the affairs of the Greeks.—Political considerations seem to have induced the Cabinet of St. Petersburgb to resolve to take other measures than _ what would probably have otherwise been adopted. THE KING. The disappointment which the people of Millori experienced in not getting a sight of his MAJESTY, when the Royal squadron was at anchor off that pp.. was thus handsomely apologizel for, in a lette r ad : dressed by the Commodore the Hon. Sir C. P Actr. to H. LEACH, Esq. Collector of his Majesty's Cus. toms at Milford, dated Monday, five P. M.

This morning arrived the Camcicon brig of va t , from Ireland, one of the Royal squadron, which she left on Friday last, in the Bristol Channel, blowing hard. His MAJESTY, with the remainder of th e squadron, may be hourly expected, should he have not borne away for the Welch coast, and landed them. When the Royal squadron was weather-bound at Dunleery, the KING landed near the extremity of th e pier at Kingstown, and seemed much pleased in ob. serving the process of discharging the tumbrils of rocks into the sea, by means of the iron railway. His MAJESTY staid but a short time, and, owing to the occasional landing of a number of persons of rank in the course of the day, his MAJESTY got on board again unperceived, except toy a few persons who happened to be at the end of the pier when rh o barge approached. Cap tain TOUCHER of the Roy Engineers, explained to his MAJESTY the final con. struction of, and other particulars connected with, the New Pier. Tuesday last, in Bantry Bay, a boat havingbrob away from her mom ings, nine men got into anode boat to recover that which had gone adrift, and having succeeded in this ohject, were returning, when both boats were dashed to pieces against the rocks by a breaker, and the nine men perished. Tit fragments of the boats were scattered on the strand at Newtown, and some of the hats of the unfortunat sufferers were found, but none of the bodies hare ye been picked up. Six of the men were married s and have left families. _ _ _ DESTRUCTIVE TORNADO....ZIIran of a lentils Augusta (Georgia), Sd August:—" A tornado,d6 most awful nature in its effects, passed througbie Counties of Aglethorp, Wilks, and Lincoln, on Sta day morning, just before daylight, and has ea extensive damage: it crossed the Savannah iim passed through one of our neighbours' plants*" and almost destroyed his crops ; trees, fences, ad houses were blown down."
