It is also said, that at the approsehing meeting of the Cortes, the government will propose a De* loan, in order to obtain the money necessary to take such a political and military attitude, as be seems the dignity of a free 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 Haru to Tortosa ; and another of 8,000 men, to protect the frontiers of Por tugal, on the side of Gallicia, Castile), and Estrema dura, to diaconcert projects and intrigues.

Milan has sent to the Government by an extraordinary courier, the &Bowing letter, dated Breda, August s:—" 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 wh.;:e were wounded. I mean to give a little repose my troops at St. Celune, and from . there I will send a more detailed report. In the mean time I 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 must atrocious cruelties, committed by the armed fanatics, have arrived from Navarre and Catalonia. The inhabitants unite them)elves with ardour to the militia to march against them.

If this news may be credited, this b'oudy battle was fought on the Bth of July, by the Generals Ypsilanti, Nosnrann, and Bosares. Norntann was elevated on a shield. and saluted with the title ofltlernie Chief: Four Neches are said to be taken; and Choursehid Pacha, conqueror the evening before, and advancing at the head of 70,000 men, was obliged to flee with scarcely 4,000.

He afterwards occu pied Livadia and &dons, and, according to later letters, he has retaken Thebes and Athens. Misun 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 had been sent to him, passed over to the side of Chourschid Paella, where kw afterwards met his death,lt is not known in what manner. Coloco troni, by his private authority, Las raised the block ade of Patras, and recalled his son, who commands a small body of troops in Albsusia. The Turks, formed IA three divisions, attacked, lon the 16th Of July, near Arta, the two intrenched camps of the insurgents, those of the Helleues, and those of the Philellenes (friends of the Greeks), and forced them after an obstinate resistance.

SMYRNA, JULY 13.—At the beginnin i g of _this month the Ottoman fleet was cruising off Mitylene. On the morning of the Bth it was ;floored at Tentdos. Cara Mehmet Pacha, who is appointed Capita: Pacha, is in the Morey, which may delay the opera tions of the Ottoman squadron. (The accounts from Constantinople of the 18th have announced his death.) The insurgents have fortified themselves so ill more strongly at Ipsara, and have 'collected a large stock of ammunition. The Greeks on board the two celebrated fire-ships all escaped in the bark with lateen sails, of which we have spoken. They bad in the iniddle of them a large barrel of powder, ready to set it on fire, and Wow up my ship of war that might have detained them, for in their heroic devotedness they had tbreseen the possibility of being taken, in tvhich case they were resolved to make their death podia to their nation by destroying anothee of the enorny's vessels. The extraordinary circutostance of these two fire ships, one of which burnt be Admiral's ship, and tile other had nearly blown up two other vessels, has produced great enthusiasm among the islanders, and raised their pretensions to an extraordinary pitch 'They have just effected a landing on the north-west of Scio, with about twenty veaseli, but we think it would be u mistaken notion no believe they meant to take possession of the Wised.

Whets*, event might have happened, the Greeks of the Mastic villages ought to have been sacred; they ought to have been saved, and insured at all hazards front every attack; it was a ditty imposed equally by jug. tice and policy. On the i9th June, the Greek fleet, tests* numbs* of 62 sail, passed the channel of Scio. The fort and the vessels exchanged some hundred shots, but with• out effect. Six hundred GreeksYrotn. Teammate 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 Pacha. • - . 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 tn;sfortunes 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 danger:-.. A Mussulman, moved with compassion, came pri vately and gave information that the Turkish regi ment of 150 men, encamped close to the consulate, had formod the poject to scale the walls of the gar den in the night, to massacre the men and seize the women ; but M. Digeon bafikd this infernal , plat. After having taken all necesaary measures, he kept. watch during the night in the garden. It was mid. night, profound silence reigned, when to savages were heard scaling the wails. How great was their surprise at seeing M. Digeon with his sabre in one hand and a pistol in the other, at the bead of his Janissaries, all armed like himself and ready to fire. In their confusion they discharged a few muskets and then retreated. On the following duy, M. Digeon went to the Pacha to complain of this viola tion of the asylum of those under his protection. The Paella listened to his com2laints, and has ba nished the wretches from t h e island. An abominable offence has been committed at Scio —a Turk, the owner of three female slaves, being unable to hike theta with him PsTschesme, whither he was going, killed them all three. The Pacha be ing informed of this atrocious crime, caused the individual who had been guilty of it to be pursued, Being token and brought back, the Yachts ordered his nose and ears to be cut off, and in that conditiod sent him back to TsZher:tue. . The preparations for the New Lew Courts. to be built west of Westminster-ball, are proceeding ra pidly. The different departments have reeeived st rice orders from the Surveyor-General of the Board of Works, to proceed with all :sisuiole dispatch —. The Court of Exchequer, the Record Offices, and Oliver's and the Exchequer coffee-houses, are to be pulled dawn forthwith. The whole are to be sold by unction in a few days. The thoroughfure through Westminster-hull is closed, and will not be opened again till the New Courts of Law are finished. The new royal entrance to the House of Lords is also proceeding rapidly. Applieatiou, it is said, wtl be made to Parlia- • ment early in the next session, for leave to bring in a Bill to out a canal from Tewkesbury to Chelten ham. An eitimate of the expense was some days since laid before the Birminghani : and Worcester Canal Company, witch was highly approved of. In the House of Commons, in 1795. when Sir . J. Sinclair moved for a reward of 1000 i, to be granted to Mr. Liking whoia hi; stated- to be the best arti,t for draining the country, Mr. Jekyll, who sat next to him, whispered in his ears. 9' You forget ,the King of Prussia and the Eni Germany, who have shown themselves • more successful urtists fin dr:iining the country, and have been much better paid for it. Letters have been received from Grenada to the 16,1 i of July, which affirm that the Royedid, Spa nish 7i, and the brig Hereculet, raised the blockade of Porto Cavell() on the 15th of June, and after de leafing the Pablelie, succeellotal sa takirg in its months sulspiies. . _ ~. ~. . . * ~ r . w ~~.
