Maitland, and letters from the lonian Islands; their contents are favourable to the Greeks. There has been a battle between the Stallion% and the Turks, which lasted three days ; the Turks were repulsed, and the Souliotes made 600 prisoners,among,st whom were 50 Turks of distinction, whose ransom has been fixed by the Greeks at 500 purses. In this battle the Greeks lost one of their bravest chiefs, Captain Kisses Zavellia. A corps of Moraites has arrived at Missolonghi, to reinforce the Souliotes and besiege Prevesa.• General Normann has also advanced with another corps towards Arta. Prince Maurocordato has arrived at Missolonghi with Gen. Tahokos and several foreign officers, to direct the military operations of Epirus. They came by sea with a considerable corps of troops and eight pieces of cannon. Markos Botziaris is about to embark for Albania with 1,000 men to inunalivre in the rear of Chourschid, whilst 500 Souliotes attack him in front, and Maurocordnto bp she way of Arta. The same accounts state 'the capture of Nauplia; the garrison was to embark on board English vessels. The Provisional Government, in order to prove that the blockade of the Turkish ports is not merely a paper blockade, has destined twelve ships of war for the blockade of Patras and the Gulf of Lepanto, the same ships will ots2rve the coasts of Albania. One ship cruises before Mothone, ene before Coronc, two observe Athens, four Eubea, six the Gulf of Thessalonica, and eight the strong places of Crete. Four Austrian vessels laden with provisions for I'a tras, were captured by the Greeks and carried into Missolonghi, but the Government, in consideration of the great power whose Bag they bore, ordered them to be released on condition of selling their car goes in a Christian port. The Turks arc %gam committing . ' the greatest excesses in tho Lyme pnneipalities. At Jassy they have demanded extraordinary supplies of grain and money, threatening that, if not obeyed, they will set fire to the town. As to the evacuation, or rather the non-evacuation, netle.ng is changed, every thing remains on the old footing. LEIPSIC, JUNE 27.—Different versions are in cir culation respecting the a ff airs of Russia. According to some, those of e Ministers and public function aries who were for war with the Porte, will retire. According to others, it is the partizans of the Aus trian system who will quit the helm of affairs ; others again say, that the partizans of an intimate alliance with Austria have at present the lead, but that after the return of the Emperor to St. Peters burgh, there will be new changes, and that M. Capo d'lstria and his friends will definitively remain at the head of affairs. It would be difficult to say ttrlaieli of these versions is the true one. All the commercial letters from the North state, that the price of grain has risen very considerably, and that there was a great demand for wheat of all qualities. The price-in some places had risen 50 per cent. FRANKFORT ' JULY 4.--The negotiations st Vi enna are covered with so thick a veil, that nothing transpires respecting them either in our diplomatic circler, or at the Exchange. The suddt.n depaiture of Prince Galowkin, the Russian Minister at the Court of Vienna, is much talked of in our diplomatic circles. 'l'he departure of this diplomatist is generally regarded as a Collae. quenee of the changes which have taken place in the Russian ministry. It is not believed that Turkish ministers will be summoned in the approaching Con gress, if it takes place. European policy , ho w e ver, skews itself favourable to the heroic enterprise of the Hellenists, the public taking a deep interest in the deplorable fate of this unfortunate nation. There is a talk of obtaining aid fur them by means of a loan ; at the head of this project are persons whose natural relations seem to invite to every undertaking for the safety of their common country. SIMIAN, JUNE IB.—We receive from all quarters the confirmation of accounts so important for Greece, respecting the events of war which have taken place at Tricela, Larissa, Suli, mid Zittimi; at the latter place the Turks experienced a complete defeat. The U reeks have again abandoned themselves to the hope that the third enterprise against the Morea having failed, their sauce will not succumb; reflecting pt;i- JUlla, huwew.r, Still thanhic for the future. No. 1,37.8—V0i.. XV.] FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. PARIS, Juts' B.—A new attempt of the enemies of order has furnished the soldiers of the King with , a fresh occasion of showing their fidelity. Lieut.- Colonel Caron, already implicated in the conspiracy of the 19th of August, 1820, and a veteran named Roger, who superintended some time ago the riding house at Colmar, had formed the project of seducing the non-commissioners of the 4Gth regiment of the line, the chasseurs of Allier, and the chasseurs of' Charente. They had made large distributions of money, and continually gave out that they were acting by virtue of orders transmitted by a directing committee established in the capital. They promised that many of their accomplices would join them be tween Mulhausen and Colmar, as soon as they should have succeeded in seducing some squadrons. Caron had at first announced his intention of deli vering the prisoners at Belfurt ; but afterwards changing his plan, he had postponed their liberation until the moment when the rebels should have re ceived their promised reinforcements. The movement which had been concerted took place on the 2d of July. A squadron of horse chas seurs of the departmoos of Allier, which .Caron thought he had seduced, and in the ranks of which were two officers disguised hi the plain uniforms of chasseurs, set out from Colmar at five o'clock in the evening, under the command of the Chief Quarter master Thiern. At the same time a squadron of horse chasseurs, from the department of Charente, in the midst of which marched as common chasseurs Captain Nichol and four officers, set out from New Brisach, under the command of Quarter-master Ge rard. When mounting, the two squadrons were apprised that they were going to act in the service of the King, and received orders to execute scrupu lously all that should be prescrioinal to them by their subalterns. They obeyed, with the most praise worthy fidelity, the instructions which they had received from their superior officers, and what in contestably proves the excellent disposition of the troops, is the silence they observed in going through manoeuvres, of the object of which they were igno rant. The secrecy of the conspiracy of Caron was confided to more than fifty persons, amongst whom were a great number of subalterns; however, no thing transpired until the arrest of the conspirators. On the height of nista, Caron ordered his hel met, his sabre, and his uniform to be brought to him. Ile put them on, and placed himself at the head of the squadron of Allier, and immediately took the command. Ile passed through liastall and nous sach, crying Pine t Empereur ! The affrighted pea sants took fright at his approach. Caron, on leaving ltoussach, went to Mayenheim. where lie found the chasseurs of Charente, who had come from Brisuch. drawn out in order of battle.— " Soldiers," said he, " you have sworn to your sub ahem officers to follow them every where. French soldiers will not fail to keep their oaths; I come to command you in the name of the Emperor—follow me !" This harangue finished, he shaped his course towards Ensisheim. On the way he spoke with contempt of Berton and the other conspirators, who had not succeeded, said he, in raising fifty men, whilst he was ready at the head of two squadrons, and had infantry who who awaited him at Colmar. _ _ . Arrived near Ensisheim, he announced his inten tion of lUrcing an entrance, but Thiern and Gerard opposed it, reminding him that it was not what he had promised them, and calling upon him to conduct them to the rendezvous of his trusty companions. Caron took them then to Battenheim, but the refusal which he had experienced had alarmed him. Roger mid he resumed their common clothes, and endeavoured to their escape. It was then they were arrested. They seemed thunderstruck on see ing Capt. Nicol, who, under the name of Georges, had acted as orderly man to Quarter-master Gerard, take the command of the two squadrons. After staying at Bottenheim the necessary time to refresh the troops, tle,; chasseurs re-entered Col may, with their prisoners bound. The conduct of the troops is above all praise; the coutttry people showed the best disposition. The niayors of the country were seen running with pre eqiation to obtain from the Prelea authority to tuutal tt.c tue,in, and to cause the ptasants to watch itBai.o.,t the Addiers who were ~.~ ,~.,Si _. •~~~~~ . -, t...^ • PRICE - - GLORIOUS CAPTURE OF PATRAS, The Greeks have " covered themselves wart - - • - glory," and success, we hope, may still enable them to avenge the late butcheries at Seio. The follow ing is an extract from a private letter from Zunte, under cover from Ancona, and anticipates the arri vals by the regular channels; it is dated " ZAWTE, JUNE I. '' An Austrian vessel being on the point of departure for Ancona, 1 avail myself of the same to forward the present, as you will probably get it quicker than throe& the regular post. I have to inform you, that the Chwiticker brig of war, Capt. Eden, arrival here yesterdayirroin Co rinth and Patras, and sailed again this ;morning for Corfu. It appeals certain she brings accounts of greatimportance as respects the affairs of the 'leeks and Greeks in Mores; from what I have been able to leans. it appear, that the fortress of Pat nub has at length been taken by the Greeks Iwo the 111 k inst., and subsequently the Castle of Mores, after a severe and decisive battle between Culoconeni, the Greek Field-Marshal, sod Youstmlf and Mehniett, Paellas. It is well known that Colesentroni had been be sieging Penal fur npwards of two months, and that be hod tender Isis orders about I t,OUO men; shoot three weeks sluice a French hombarde touched here on her way from Marseilles fur the Mores, having 15 °Seers on board to enter the Greek seevice ; it appears they joined Colo cut roni, and about the same time that General was rein forces' by 3,i;00 Greeks from Gastimui, Ruder Ororgiu Se.siiii. Several previous skirmishes had taken place between the Greeks and Illehmet and Yousuutf Peckish who had under their orders about 1,0:JO men, mostly bona Constantinople, but there was nu decided advantage gained on either side. On the 11111 the two Paellas united their forcee, and came into the plain of Pattas; Coleco tread was prepared to receive them, and despatched Sessini's corps of 5,004 melt to the rear of the Castle of Palms. The battle took place between St. Andrea, on the sea shore, and the Monastery of Gerocondo. about two miles inland ; it was sustained with great fury on boils sides for several hours; at last, the Greeks succeeded in putting to flight the Tut kish cavalry, which caused sack consternation that the rest of the Turks commeaced a precipitate retreat, against every effort of the 'tidies to prevent the rattle, and abandoned ant UAW Feld-pieces. Colocotroni pirsteed his advantage, and fu tkiajunetnre the corps of Sessini advanced from their station, and ac tually entered the gales of the fortress of Paters at the time the Turks were doing so • the former having got possessiou of the gates, the jerks were dismayed on every side, and took the road to the Castle of Morea, dis tant about six miles. A lodgment in the fortress being ellected by the Greeks, the Turks left as the gnard stir rendered on the arrival of Colocotruni. There were only about three hundred Sunfishes, and a great smasher of wo men and children, all of whom have been respected. It is said there were found alhatit 30 cannon mounted, and several dismounted; a large quantity efammunitios. and several cargoes of provisions; also the treasure of ateltinet Packs, amunoting to 30,tite0 machmoudies in gold. The Greek loss was severe, occasioned principally by the Turkish artillery; it is estimated that about 200 melt were killed, and upwards of 450 wounded sasung the latter was Colocutruni himself, by a ounskciphall its the arm, hut not at all dangerously. The Turkish loss was very great; about 700 men were left dead or wounded en the held, and nearly 400 were made prisoners in theism-- suit. These stated that Mehmet Pads. recoiled two balls in the thigh, sod that the Selictar Aga and Delhi litashee of Youhiett Paths ,$ ere killed. " Colucotroni Paelia despatched about 10,000 men the next day to the Castle of Mores, under the orders of his nephew; but the Paellas had resolved not le stand an assault, and had embanked with the remainder al. their troops, provisions, 000000 itiun and families, on board the vessels utlongidg •to Yusisond Paella mud the Turkish transports which CYNIC hoot Constantinople. Upon the appeuitch of the Greeks they died the triagaeine, bet it did not take 101 l effect, curly Mowing up the interior of ' the fortress.
