Cara Mehmet Pacha, who is appointed Capita Pads' is in the Mores, which may delay St tipera , tions of the. Ottopasa equate°. ( i te ms *Mts • Aw) Coutgatiikpie oldie 18th bars his . death.) The insurgents have fortified sbeeseeNesstill nee" strongly at Ipsara, and have collected e4arge : stock of ammunition. The Greeks on board the.two celebrated fireethips all escaped in the bark with lateen sails, of which wa. have spokee. They had in the middle of them a large` barrel of powder, ready to set it on fire, and blow up.. any ship of war that might have detained them, far in their heroic devotedness they had foreseen the possibility of being taken, in which case they were resolved to make their death useful to their nation by destroying another of the enemy's vessels. The extraordinary circumstance of these two fire ships, one of which burnt the Admiral's ship, and the other had nearly blown up two other vessels, has produced great enthusiasm among the :slanders, and raised their pretensions to an extraordinary pitch. They have just effected a landing on the north-west of Selo, with about twenty vessels, but we think it would be a mistaken notion to believe they meant to take Possession of the island. This unexpeted descent can have no object than to favour the emi gration of the inhabitants. Thousands of despera does, after the burning of the Admiral's ships, had attacked the first villages on the road, where they murdered the men, and made slaves of the women. Eiles Aga, to whom the care of these places had been confided, succeeded in arresting the progress of these abominable excesses, and the licentious were not able to penetrate into most of these villages. The great est terror, however. reigned, and part of thoishabie tants have emigrated and fled to Ipsara. Whatever event might bare happened, the Greeks of the Mastic villages ought to have been sacred ; they ought to have been saved, and insured at all hazards from every attack; it was a duty imposed equally by jus tice and policy. On the 29th June, the Greek fleet, to the number of 62 sail, passed the channel of Scio. The fort and the vessels exchanged some hundred shots, but with out effect. Six hundred Greeks from Tachesme have arrived at Scio. They are conducted every day to wards Campo to get in the harvest. Eiles Aga re mains encamped with his corps at Campo. All the persons who had been carried off from the Mastic villages to Scio have been sent back, except the young girls, who are retained, and refused to be re stored, notwithstanding all the endeavours of the Pitch*. The contagion rages more than ever at 'Scio— there have died already at the 'French consulate 11 Catholics and 76 Greeks, including the Dragoman with his wife and children. The Greeks crowded together in the church of the consulate were swept away in a cruel manner by the contagion. To complete the misfortunes of Scio, provisions are extremely scarce, and nothing to be had but bad goats' flesh. The persons who have taken refuge in the consulate were lately in very great danges:— A Mutaultuan, moved with compassion, causer pri vately and gave information that the Turkish tegi mein of 150 men, encamped close to the consulate, had formed the project to scale the walls of the gar den in the night, to massacre the men and seize the women; but M. Digeon baffled this infernal plot. After having taken all necessary measures, he kept watch during the night in the garden. It was mid night, profound silence reigned, when the savages were heard scaling the walls. How great was their surprise ut seeing M. Digeon with his sabre in one band and a pistol in the other, at the bead of his Janissaries, all armed like himself' and ready to fire. In their confhsiun they discharged a few muskets and then reneated. On the following day, M. Digeon went to the Pacha to complain of this viola tion of the asylum of those under his protection. The Pacha listened to his complaints, and has ba nished the wretches from the island. Au abominable offence has been committed at Scio Turk, the owner of three female slaves, being unable to take them with him toTechesme, whither be was going, killed them all three. The Pacha be- .. --L.-_ <. " Our Sing, Coniftitutton, anti latosc. _ MONDAY. SEPTEMBER S. 1822. mi g nformed of this atrocious crime, clamed the individual who had been guilty of it to be pursued. Being taken and brought bark, the 1 3 Jcha ordered his nose and ears to be cut off, and in that condition sent him back to Tschesme. JILIDRID PAPERS. MAgalb Ave. 15 —General Mina set out last eight with his staff to take the command of the army of Catalonia. A detachment of cavalry of the "..a'aregiment accompanied him as an escort. In s his army ail amount to 26,000 men. who acquired a great reputation during 4e war of independence, left Madrid in the evening, rad took the same direction with his corps composed 6 of volunteer militia, and other patriots, to the amount of 4,000 men. Gen. Lopez Banos is assiduously employed in find ing means to realize the proposal which he made without effect to the late Ministry—to increase the army to 20,000 men, which was to cover Navarre and Arragon, and in concert with that of General Mina. to form the grand line of circumvallation on the frontier of the Pyrenness, in order to prevent the continual passage of factious people from Spain into France, and from France into Spain. The Government has resolved to devote the prin cipal part of the contributions to the expences of the Minister oc War, so that the soldiers shall be cor rectly paid. It is also said, that at the approaching meeting of the Cortes, the government will propose a new loan, in order to obtain the money necessary to take such a political and military attitude, as be seems the dignity of • fees nation. The immense quantity of land and other valid resources of which the government may dispose, offers in abundance every necessary guarantee. According to the treaty of alliance proposed be tween Spain and Portugal, the latter will send an army of 12,000 men to cover the left bank of the Ebro, from the town of Hero to Tortosa ; and another of 8,000 men, to protect the frontiers of Por tugal, on the side of Gallicia, Castile, and Laverne dura, to disconcert projects and intrigues. The following gentlemen have been nominated political chiefs:—Colonel Don Lucas Belasco, of Guadalaxara ; Colonel Don Juan Villa Fiadarca, of Villa Franca; Col. Don Antonio Leoane, of Bilboa; Captain Don Jose Augues Avers, of Vittoria; Don Augustin Roucali, of Tarragona; Don Jose Noboa, of Valencia. These selections are very popular. It is said that M. Pisarro, formerly Minister of Foreign Affairs, and who enjoys the confidence of the constitutionals, is to be charged with au im portant diplomatic mission. A Frenchman, Theodore Goiffien, first lieutenant in the royal guards, arrested at the moment when lie attempted to pass the frontiers in disguise, has been condemned to death. M. - -... few .1141 The officers of the royal guard detained in the prisons of Madrid, amounting to 16, will be imme diately tried. There are, besides, four persons, for merly garde: du corps, and ten other individuals. Yesterday evening, according to a requisition of M. Morales, A lcade of Madrid, the two sons of Gen hlarely, and M. Brudi, all three officers of the royal guards, and M. Maldonado, officer of the navy, for merly governor of Ferrol, were arrested in Foucar ral-street. They were concealed in a private house. Gen. Milan: has sent to the Government by an extraordinary courier, the following letter, dateu Breda, August 5 :—" I attacked the enemy at day break, in the street of this little town. They are covered with dead bodies, arms, and horses. The cavalry pursued the remainder, nearly the whole were wounded. I mean to give a little repose to my troops at St. Celone, and from there I will send a more detailed report. In the mean time 1 thought it my duty to send you these few words in haste, in order not to delay the publication of the success." Details of the most atrocious cruelties, committed by the armed &rustics, have as rived from Navarre and Catalonia. The inhabitants unite thanselves with areour to the militia to march against them. hi. Ch. Comex, Intendant of the Countess of Ta -1 .va, was arrested on the 9th of this month at ha f pot eleven in the evening. He is accused of having been one of the principal conspirators against thy constitutional system. 1 iietaineen is very ill.

AUGSBURG Ave. 20.—Letters five Scullin speak of a great victory gained by the Greeks, between , Larissa, the Straits of Thernsopyls, and Salons,,over • eltounehid Paella. if this news may be .ereditest this bloody battle was fought on the Ilth of July, by the Generals Ypsilanti, Normann, and Borares. Normann was. elevated on a shield,and saluted with the title of Heroic Chief. Four Pachas are said to be taken; and Chourschid Pacha, conqueror the evening before, and advancing at the head of 70,000 men, was obliged to flee with scarcely 4,000. Viseria, Atm. 16.—The Austria.' Observer ha the following article:—Chourschid Pacha has ad vanced at the head of more than 40,000 men across Thertuopyle, by Zeituni, where the Greeks expe rienced a considerable check. He afterwards occu pied Livadia and Salons, and, according to later letters, he has retaken Thebes and Athens. ?Allman,- derstandings continually prevail among the Greek chiefs. Odysseus, who has been much spoken of on account of his poetical name, was nothing less than a chief of Mainote banditti, who, after having caused to be murdered two European officers who bud been sent to him, passed over to the side of Chourschid Pacha, where he afterwards met his death, it is not known in what manner. Coloco troni, by his private authority, has raised the block ade of Petras, and recalled his son, who commands a small body of troops in Albania. The Turk?, formed in three divisions, attacked, on the 16th of July, near Arta, the two intrenched camps of the insurgents, those of the Helleucs, and those of the Philellenes (friends of the Greeks), and forced them after an obstinate resistance. Thu troop of Gen. Normann, which was 180 Philellenes, but 150. The General himself, and Lieut.-Col.

The Turco-Algerino fleet was seen on the 14th of July in the roads of Samos. At the beginning of August Moldavia and Wala. Chia were in a great part evacuated by the Turkish troops. The Russian troops cantoned in Bessarabia have retired for the must part beyond the Dniester, after having been reviewed on the 29th of July by Gen. Count Wittgenstein. It is somewhat remsrlaible that the Premier Peer in each part of the United Kingdom should be in op?•nation to the present Ministers, viz. the Duke of Nur!:,lk in England, the Date of Leinster in Ire. laud, and the Duke of Hamilton iii Scotland. Application, it said, will be made to Perlis. ment early in the next sea-ion, for leave to bring in a Bill to cut a canal hum Tewkesbury to Chelten - limn. An eitimate of the expense was some clays since laid before the Birmingham and Worcester Canal Company, which was highly approved of. In the House of Commons, in 1795, when Sir J. Sinclair moved for a reward of 10001. to be granted to Air. Ellington, whom be stated to be the best artiAlor draining the country, Mr. Jekyll, who sat next to him, whispered in his ear, " Vuu forget the King of Prussia and the Ettleror of Germany, who have shown themselves rhfiuitely more successful artists for draining the couutLy, and have been much better paid for it. It is said that his Majesty Lis had it in eon. templation to take up his residence at Buckingham /louse.
