It was reported at Amite that a battle had taken place on the 29th of July HOW Tripolitzs, after which IBRAHIM PAOLA had re treated to his former position. This report is mentioned in a letter from Trieste dated the ?fhb of August. It is of importance only as showing the utter groundlessness of the stories published by the Ae4riaw Observer. The Courier Francais, In a note to an article from 'Neste confirming the reported defeat of the Turks in an attack on Missofonghl, on the Ist and Sd of August, says, " We have received a letter from Napoli di Rumania itself,' dated sth August, and coming from the most respectable authority. In this letter, conformably to what we stated three days ago, we ass told positively that Missolonghi con-1 tinued to defend itself vigorously, and that Napoli eras in a satisfactory state of defence." M. BINIAMIN COSSTANT has published an appeal to the Christian Natiops in favour of the Greeks, which haul bean adopted by the Greek Committee of the Societe de la Morale Chretienne. M. MOLLIEN the French Consul at Hayti and M. del PEraxa, aebefl to the same mission, left Paris on Thurs. I day for theirdasination. There is nothing new from Spain. FERDINAND has been showering honours on General d'Ese.soNa, and t ae troops by whom the rebel BEMIRES was taken and put to death. Each of the Generals and Colonels has a C:055 of some principal order bestowed upon him, and oros;es of the several classes of the order of St. Ferdinand are given to the senior captain, lieutenant, ensign, sergeant, caporal, and private of each squadron and battalion. We have extracted some particulars of the arrest of BESSIE 'us which are not without interest at this moment. [From the Monitear of Friday.--01Ecial put.] DEPARTMENT OF MARINE AND COLONIES. (NOTICE.) The Peer of Franr,e, Minister Secretary of State of the Marine and Colonies, reminds those persons who are interested in the property of vessels or cargoes captured by the Spanish cruiser daring the late war, that, according to the Royal Ordinance of 9Uth April, 1E25 (inserted in the Moveiterr of the 26th of the same month) they will, not be allowed, after the lit October next, to bring forward any new claims for indemnity for losses resulting from those captures. In consequence, the Register opened in the office of this depart ment for the inscription of claims of this kind, will be definitively dace, on the Ist October, at midnight ; and all claims which shall be 'presented subsequently will be considered as null.

IFrtgo the Carr ter Fre/Revisor Friday.] MADRID, AUG. 29. The following is ■ positive detail of the manner in which Bessier. its was ted by Don Saturnine AlbuM, more known by the name of Hatchet :—Bessieres having stopped at Zafrilla, in order to feed his horses, the Curate of the village hastened to invite him to his house, in order to take some noutishment. The factious Chief accepta the invitation, but whilst they were at table, Albuin arrived and stirrounded the village. Bessieres finding himself sur. prised. jumped out of the window, and although wounded in his fail, be gained the mduntair.s, whence lit was poniard and overta ken. which no doubt would not have happened, had not his wound impeded his march. His companions were assembled in another house, where they made sonic resistance. They killed a grenadier on horseback, and wounded several others, but they were soon obliged to yield to superior numbers ; one alone. a Captain, was fortunate enough to escape. It is said that General Espagna beg ged the Kings mercy for a son of Bessieres, a youth of fifteen, who accompanied his father in his expedition. The wife and other children of this General are residing here. For the last five days Calomarde has dune no businue with the King ; his friends uy he is indieposnl, but look upon him, as upon the' eve of being disgraced, as well as M. Villela, Governor of the Council of f'estile. DI It reecho. Supctiatendent of the Police is ale arty spoken of as the idendgi :Ululate! of dead Sad Justice, and M. Ilerrero Prieto as designed to fill his vacated place. We may positively assert, that the police has got the clue to the Apostolic otrrpitacy, and is acquainted with all its ramifications. 'important documents discovered among the papers of arrested per. sons, joined to those found on Bessieres, will bring to light the projects of those who proclaimed themselves the support of the Throne, and will make known its true enemies. It is asserted that orders hare been already expedited to arrest the Archbishop of San- Maga, the Rev. Father Velez. It is doubted whether it will be in time, .for several ecclesiastics have already taken flight,. among the rest the Canon Jars. FRENCH SYPT. 9.—Five per Cents. joulas du 223 Sept. opened at 991. 44c.

In another column we have inserted a long extract from the Attrition Observer of the 30th ult. respecting the Greek struggle for independence. Our readers are of course pre pared to find in these advices no tidings but those of the continued successes of the Mahometans. The Austrian Government has thrown off all colour of neutrality, and its, Paper dare only relate such news as it knows will prove ac ceptable to those on whose pleasure its existence depends. We look to the Austrian Observer, not to learn what is really the state of the Greek war, but to see to what extent' the misrepresentation of the enemies of Greece can be car ried with any reasonable probability of imposing upon the people of Europe. On this occasion, however, we hear less than usual of the impending evils by which we are gene rally told the Greeks are threatened with immediate destruc tion ; all that is asserted to their prejudice is, that C 01.13 COTRONI was defeated on the 4th of July, in a battle with lan/atm PACH n at Tricopha. The losses on each aide, it is allowed, are differently stated. The Austrian Observer is, as in duty bound, inclined to believe that the Greeks suffered severely, while they, on their part, affirm that they had only 30 killed, and that 600 of the Egyptians perished on the field. These coaieting ‘ statements are perhaps each equally unworthy of crtilit. fudging from the result, it does not appear that this action, or any of those which followed it, have been of a very decisive nature. There are reports from Smyrna that IBRAHAM had subse quently marched to Argos, and again appeared before Napoli, at the post of the Mills, from which he was lately so gallantly driven; but it is not pretended that these rumours have been corroborated by any intelligence en titled to the least attention. We are sorry to observe that Admiral de Rio NY, who commands the French squadron in the Levant, has, on pretence of some insult offered to his Government, had recourse to a measure which has all the appearance of hostility towards the patriots. He has seized the Eparch of Syra and taken him prisoner, it is supposed either to Hydra or Napoli, for the declared purpose of having him punished. This is I a flagrant breach of neutrality, and one of the most itiso lent assumptions of authority we ever remember. The Eparch was not responsible to the French Admiral, who, if he had any ground of complaint, should have stated it I in the first place to the Greek Government, leaving them to act on their sense of justice. If they had refused re dress, Admiral de RIGNY could not have proceeded with more violence against the offending individual, over whom, u the subject of another State, he could exercise no right whatever. The Amsterdam Papers of Saturday arrived last night. they are quite barren of political intelligence. ft is stated from Hanover that the contributions for the relief of the sufferers by inundation received by the central Committee there up to the 19th August amounted to 247,793 rix dollars. A Russian Ukase forbids the Jews to settle in the Go vernment of Astrachan and the Provinces of Caucasus till the new regulations respecting the Jew in Russia shall be published. EXCHANGES ON LONDON.

The deplorable condition of SPAIN is bringing it every day nearer to that crisis of convulsion, which, if we are not greatly deceived, will shake FERDINAND from his throne. Bankrupt, as he ban long since shown himself to be, in I conscience, 'and in character; with a head as narrow as his I heart, and without a single redeeming virtue which can soften the indignation of a people writhing under the pressure of his execrable measures; with what rational ; hope can the Spanish nation look forward to the restoration of its liberties, while the reins of power are in the hands, of such a ruler? At this moment the situation of this Despot is full of difficulty: to effect his atrocious triumph over the Comrrrurionaetars, he allied himself to the Priesthood; he fought against Freedom with the " band of the Faith;" but the Leaders of this band, with as lordly a contempt for the rights of the subject as his most Catholic Majesty himself, soon exceeded even his daring in their designs, and at length got beyond his control in the combined energy which they employed to carry those designs into effect. The JESUITS are dangerous instru ments for a Government to work with. The Monarchs of FRANCE and Seam are, both of them, at present expe riencing this to their cost. FERDINAND was, for a time, so very ultra in his zeal, as to receive the admonition even of the Holy Alliance itself. He would fain have nailed the flag of tyranny to the mast-head. lie was ignorant that the work of regeneration was silently going on In his dominions, while he was reducing the Government and the Monarchy to a state too feeble to make head against it, Now, to his utter alarm, and to his inextricable peril, he finds that the Jusurrs have jumped into the gap. He feels them hourly edging him from his throne, and he foresees that, if they leave him a nominal possession of it— of which he cannot be quite sure—they will usurp the real power. They are, in fact, already in possession of it. Their great aim is to re-establish the Inquisition ; which they declare to be essential to " restoring the Catholic Church in its purity." They proclaim their design a ! • Nadel; but in PARIS, notwithstanding the patronage of Ciliates X, and the ardent support of A :-.RCIIAVEQUE DE PARIS, tlley are obliged to proceed with more caution. But r,itAkirt.Fl X, ai well as FERDINAND, are both begin ning to perceive, when it is too late, that they have raised up a Olen by which their own will be ultimately weighed down. Every means is adopted by the Austrian Government to prevent us from obtaining correct information from the Aforea. Letters from Paris state that orders have been given in the ports of Italy to exercise particular vigilance with respect to the letters corning from Greece and the lonian Islands. Last night we received New Yotk papers to the 17th ult. their contents are not of any great importance. The Court-martial had decided in the case of Commodore PORTER, but the sentence, of course, would not be made known till it had formally received the approbation of the Parainzivr. The Court was proceeding with the trial of the other Officers under arrest. The American navy is, 'it would seem, in a singular state of insubordination. Two Captains, CRLIGHTON and DEACON, it was reported, were' returning from the Mediterranean, under arrest. The bill for regulating the trade of his MAJEbTY'S possessions in America and the West Indies has excited great interest in the United States. It is reprinted at full length in the New York papers. There has teen a violent gale or hurricane in the West Indies. The French islands appear to have been th e principal sufferers. The intelligence from Mexico and South America is such as the friends of the new States wish it to be. There are no events either to alarm or agitate them. The new States are (to use a trans-atlantic word) progressing in undisturbed tranquillity, and with increasing prosperity. The message of the President of Chili to the Congress of that State is remarkable for its candour and honesty. He somewhat roughly points out the duties of the Legislature, but not more roughly than the public necessities appear to require. We have no news from the Banda Oriental. The following are extracts:— _ _ The present state of things must come soon to a close. What remains of the French army of occupation cannot avert the catastrophe. No outworks which these mercenary troops—which, to the utter and eternal disgrace, not of the French nation, but of its rulers, are serving in Spain—no outworks which they can throw up in the defence of despotism, can avail their purpose. Every gun they fire will, in its recoil, endanger the battery. The Jesuits may plan their machinery of wheels and racks, and may pro mise themselves that they shall play over again the tra gedies of the Inquisition ; but it will not be ; Nature o'erpower'd at length will leave her load, And bat persecution.— Why, in France, does not Cumuli; X perceive that he must govern—there is no help for it—with an eye to the progress of industry, ' and wealth, and knowledge in his dominions; and not in his dominions only, but throughout the whole Continent of Europe Why did not his good sense —for he is not wanting in understanding—why did it not teach him, from the moment he succeeded to the sovereignty of France, that it was vain to persist in forcing upon his subjects of the nineteenth century the superstitious mum mery which their reason—ripened by a conflict with its abuses—bad taught them to deride ? The dominion of the I Catlatlic priesthood can never again hope to lord itself—es for centuries it had done—over the rights of nature and the freedom of political institutions. Within the last thirty years a light has broke in upon the human mind that will have " no fellowship wilt the unfruitful works of duel-nest;" not that we think the reign of Satan is at an end ; very far from it. We fear the world has long to wait before he will be so bound hand and foot as to leave the Saints in full possession of the field. But thus much is certain, that education is too general, end the habits of thinking too widely spread throughout the whole of Chris tian Europe, to give their Catholic Majesties of France or Spain any chance of bringing back the hideous regime of attperstkien, or of governing in concert with at ambitious and over-ruling priesthood. We learn by our letters from France, that CHARLES X seems sunk in spirit, and that he appears but rarely in public. Is it unnatural that it should be so ? Our readers will remember, that we predicted thus very early after his coronation. And why ? Because the sycophants that surrounded him had no heart—because we knew that the pious psalmody of their devotion would have been equally at the service of NAPOLEON bad events thrown him once more' from the rock of St. Helena on to the throne of the Bourbons. CHARLES X has not sought the love of his subjects, and he has at length found that this love cannot " Nnsought be won." The result is, that he is unpopular, and—without wishing to speak harshly of him—we would say that be deserves to be so. He has done nothing fur the political welfare of France. He has left the CHARTra of the Constitution to take its course, and to receive whatever confirmation it could gain from the Jesuits and the GeV& merle. CH•TEAUBRIAND, in his pamphlet entitled, " Le Roi est Mort, Vive le Rai," described CIIARLES X as the" RE STAURATEUR DI TOCTES 1.15 LEGITIMITES: . The compliment was, at best, equivocal. A medal, it may be remembered, was struck to perpetuate the memory of the 4th of August, and the Assembly at the same time decreed to NEw Voltz, Avo. 16. THE COTTON CROP.—The planters in some parts of South Carolina are complaining in consequence of an apprehension of short crops of cotton. A report from the Edisto Island Committee of Inspection gives the result of an examination of nine crops at Slan's and Toodogo Islands, which ranged from 50 to 140 pounds per acre. A letter from John's Island rays that " the crops gene. rally will not average more than 50 to 100 p oun d s p er acre." VIOLENT GALE IN THE WEST In n;Es.—The French ship L'Eslair arrived yesterday from Martinique, which place she left on the 30th July, communicates the following:— A hurricane occurred at St. Pierre's on the 26th of that month, anti continued from seven till nine o'clock In the morning. The most severe part of the gale was at about nine o'clock, from this southerly direction. No French ship. were lost. Three American vessels, two brigs, and one schooner, were dAven ashore, and went to pieces. The plantations there did not suffer much. At Guadaloupe the gale was most violent at a quarter past ten. All the buildings belonging to Government were destroyed. At Basseterre nearly two hundred persons were killed. In that quarter the plantations suffered much. At Point Petre several American vessels and French coasters were ashore. The latter sustained mote or less damage. The plantations there received some injury. . . _ All the ;easels anchored at Roseaux (Dondque) were lcst. Some vowels, also, were log at Barbadoea, St. Lucia, and Antigua. All the islands to windward are supposed Ao bavalitten awnweriasa affected by the hurricane. __ NORFOLK (VIRGINIA), Aro. 11. HURRICANE rie THE WEST INDlES.—('aptain Bush, of the schooner James Monroe, in the remarkably short passage of nine days from Antigua, arrived at this port on NVednesday evening. Captain B. states that the mail boat, which arrived at Antigua on the 30th July frotn the Southward, brought accounts of a very heavy humane which commenced on the 25th, and had ex tended its ravages from Guadeloupe to Barbadoes, in the direction of which the damage done to the shipping was truly distressing— one town in Guadeloupe was understood to have been entirely . blown down. Beyond those points named no injury had been re ceived. One English vessel, and three or four American ones had been driven ashore in Dominica. Antigua escaped. The weather was threatening, and the inhabitants commenced making prepara tions. expectipg something serious, but nothing occurred further than the upsetting of one or two open hosts—their crews, however, (blacks) were drowned.

CHILI. LATE HISSAHE OF THE TREsIDEST OF CI:ILI TO TEES CONGRESS. GENTLEMEN —The Republic expects from this extraordiney session of its representatives important practical results of the repro. sanative system. It should not be matter of surprise, that in an infant state, which for centuries had been under the rule of an abso lute and barbarous government, circumstances should require ex traordinary sessions of the representatives of the people. Inespe. rience, and want of reflection induce the belief, that permanent con stitutions are adapted to a people in progress'', and whose informs. tion and light increase slowly and unequally. The spirit of the ancient metaphysics urges the adoption of chimerical projects of legislation and of institutions alone to retard and paralyze, insteadof giving impulse to the conduct of affairs, and the Three of authority, which, when important r e forms are to be effected, should be adopted. Gentlemen—lna few words you see the actual %Otte of the Re public, and one of the great causes of the evils complained of, for whose remedy you ate convened. Nations possessing but the shadow of representative government have under less imperious circumstances assembled their Cones. or Congress, thereby benefit ting themselves through new laws and provident measures. The supreme author of liberty, whose kind protection has been exercised towards us, has favoured us in this Congress with great talents, eminent virtues, consummate experience, prudence, knowledge of public affairs, and of the great principles of administrative science. I'o deliberate and resolve wisely upon the proper questions, it will not be necessary that they be proposed to you. But were the ex ecutive to suggest them he would not be without precedent. There exists not at this time a system of finance, nor of credit ; nor is the old, miserable Spanish system abolished. Comincree is uprotected, education neglected, the militia unorganised, and, in truth, there is no one subject that does not demand reform and improvement. The representatives are well acquainted with the public necessities, and will provide for their relief in the wisest manne#. Santiago de Chili. RAMON FREIRE.

It appears that the French squadron in the West Indies, after the mission of M. di MACIAL: to Ilayti was accomplished, visited the Haven nab ;.but we cannot for a moment believe that any ulterior object was contemplated. The following is the extract to which we refer : " HAVANNAH, JULY 2C, 1825. " I have only a minim's time to give you the informatio s by an Atrierican schooner of war, that two French line of battle all pa seven large frigates, and two sloops of war, entered this port this forenoon.

Up to two rilock the Consols market was without in terest, and but little business was doing in it. About that time some heavy sales were made, which depressed that Stock nearly 1 per cent. The opening price was 891 Bj, at which it continued during the greater part of the morn ing. The circumstance to which we have adverted caused a decline in it to 881, f 1 was afterwards the price, and the market closed at I 1. Another c au se ass i gne d on the Stock Exchange for the retrogression of Consols was, the report of the French having taken possession of Cuba. Exchequer Bills were .ss. 7s. premium. The prices in the Foreign market scarcely varied from those of yesterday, and the business in it was very limitted. We must indeed except the Guatemala Scrip, in which bargains were done at 11 discount, making an improve ment of nearly 1 per cent. since yesterday, whilst the other South American Securities remained stationary. The Share market was also without a variation deserv ing of notice. The King of Prussia is expected to arrive at Brussels on Thursday next. The postmasters between that city and Liege arc ordered to have 55 horses ready at every stage. , It is reported at Frankfort that new conferences are going to be opened in that city relative to the steps which must be taken to terminate, at length, the negotiations with the Court of home for the conclusion of a concordat with Gerniany.—Brunels Pdper. We have received the Brussels papers of Saturday. They announce the arrival of the Prince and Princess of Orange, with their three sons, at the palace of Laeken. Mr. Hughes, the American Minister to the government of the Netherlands, arrived at Brussels on the Gth inst. The I Royal Sovereign yacht, which was waiting in the roads of Antwerp for the Duke of Clarence, was daily visited by a great number of persons, who admired its construction and magnificence. • They were received with great politeness, and the Captain had given orders to admit all decently dressed persons. - An article in the Allganeine Zeitung of the 4th instant, dated Constantinople, Aug. 10, states, that the complaints made by the Reis Effendi to Mr. Turner, the British Mi nister, have been increased by the news that just before the Capitan Paths appeared off Missolonghi, seventeen English Officers of Engineers had arrived there to assist in its defence. The opinion gained ground, that England has views on Greece, especially as, in addition to the above, the English naval force was assembled at Napoli di Roma nia, and farther remittances from the English Loan had been received at Hydra. Yesterday we received the Lisbon Gazettes to the 27th ult. They are principally tilled with extracts from foreign papers, and from the Gazette of Goa. The King has been pleased to extend his clemency to the partakers in the mutiny among the troops at St. Paulo da Assumpcao de Loanda, the capital of the kingdom of Angola, in the month of October, 1823. The imprisonment which they have undergone is to be in lieu of all further punishment ; the Captain of the battalion that mutinied, having been particularly implicated in these criminal proceedings, is dismissed. Private letters from Madrid state, that at the execution of Don Pablo Iglesias, and Colonel Santos, on the 28th ult. for their constitutional opinions, the executioner jumped upon their shoulders, and beat out their brains in the air. The royalist volunteers wished to cut them up, and drag their limbs about the streets, and the irritated populace se conded the idea, but the Royal Guard charged upon them, and dispersed them to their homes, with strokes of their sabres. 4 0.

His Ex cellency the Governor and the Court of Policy had sanc tioned the establishment, and granted some lands for the necessary buildings. A cargo of ice had been received from Newfoundland. Sir Galbraith Lowry Cole, the Governor of the Manri tip, has issued a singular proclamation from the Govern ment House, Fort Louis, requiring proprietors of estates, lessees, and other occupants, to deposit at the civil corn tnicsaries of their respective quarters, in the course of the year, ten birds' heads, or twenty rats' jails, at th e i r o p t i on, for every slave in th e i r possession. The birds' eggs, young birds, or rats, found and destroyed in their nests, shall be counted in common with others. A penalty of six cols is ' fixed on every bird's head and rat's tail not furnished.

In the course of last month there were several engagements in the Mores, between the Egyptians under Ibrahim Pacha, and the corps hutily colleecd by Colocotroni,since he assumed the coin. mand ; all which, according to all the re p orts rece i ve d h ere, and ft the co nfession of the Greet Journals themselves, were in &robe of the Egyptians. The most considerable of these actions took place on the 4th of July, at Tricopha, where Colocotroni had assembled all the troops he could command, stated in ha report at Ift/O men, to give another battle to Ibrahim, before he was joined by the reit_ forcemeat landed by Hussein Bey, at Navarino. The issue was disastrous,. to the Insurgents, who were defeated and dispersed w i t h great loss,which is estimated at above 1,000 killed, and 160prisoner4, [among whom are five Capitani. Colocotroni himself In his rem.' 'to the ‘Var Minister, mentions two Generals. Panparsoni and Panaguly, and eleven other officers of distinction who were kiilty on the spot th d day, and confesses that the action, which he fit. scribes as a pitch battle, ended with the general flight of the troops, whose t cleat is attributed chiefly to the cowardice of the Coriu. thians and .tbt Calastitems. The scattered cattle of the insurgents rallied indeed, some days after,) partly at Karitene s partly at Vervena, hut were again at. tackedoand defeated on the 14th July by the Egypti ans , who put. sued them ; and in action which took place on the 20th but respecting which we have no details. Demetrius Vrteilant i i s said to have been wounded in the breast by a musket ball, and to have been taken prisoner ; and it is added, that notwith standing every assistance was given . lihn br Ibrahim Pacha's order, h e (lied soon after. Accounts just received from Smyrna say; that Ibrahim, th ee beingjoined by the troops r landed at Nayarit)°, with a train of heavy artillery, had thatched to Argos, while detachments from h ts army scoured the Peloponnesus In every direction, to bi n d er the is _ surgents from collecting and fortifying themselves any where. The %plain of a ship, which sailed nth July for N a p o li di R omania, affirms that on that day the Egyptian Vanguard had again appea r i t t near the Mills. All the reports and private letters (rim dmy ses Confirm this. Part of the Greek squadron, which is said to consist of 313 brig s and six flre.ships, sailed on the 18th and 21st of July from Hyd ra and Sparta to the loffitin seas 'to attack the fleet of the Capitol Pasha, rind carry sintour to Missolonghi, which was closely press. 'led, and according to a report last spread here was already Koine to surrender, had not the commanders of the garrison, fearing atethey that awaited them, the Turks, it is said, having required them to surrender at discretion, opposed the conclusion of the eaFitulatin, which Was eagerly desired by the inhabitants. The greater part of the Egyptian fleet, after landing the Alh a „ alone at Nawasino tettirw.d to Alexandria to fetch 10,000 fresh troops and 2000 horse. On the 2".k1 July Admiral de Rigny est so the Island of Syra.• Me summoned the Eparch, who, i n the tumultuotis scenes 10th, I Ith, and 12th July, had ill treated the French Consul, to come on board his frigate, and on his refusal, landed some men who fetched him. This being done, and the Consul formally reinstated, in, his office, the Adintral left the roads, steering westwards ; it is thought he will take the Eparch to Hydra, or to Napoli di Romania, and insist on his being pu. nished in an exemplary manner for the insults offered to the French Government. A mutiny broke out on, the 14th of July, among the Janissaries, who refused to give up to the Governor Omer Vrione a house which he required, inste a d of hi s res id ence, which lbad been burnt down by the severity and firmness of that Pacha, Jul, bad no farther results. In No. 130 of the Fru-xi qftr , c Lo ss ofuly 11, we findColocotroni ' saocount of the b a ttl e o f t h e s t h J u l y, though he acknowledges the defeat of his army in this battle, which lasted, he says, from seven o'clock till noon, and gives the nam es o f two Generals and eleven superior O ffi cers killed. The Greeks, he says i had 30 killed, whereas the enemy had 600 killed, among whom are several Officers of distinction. There is also a long lettet from Coloeotroni and Londo to the Bey of Mains and the Maihotes, in which he upbraids them for not replying to the many letters that bate been seat to them, and for their apathy in the present criti cal situation of the Peloponnesua. They are desired to rercenabet• that the rest of the Mores is subdued it will then be their turn. The hiss of the battle at Tricepha is again ascribed to the negli. Bence and disorderly conduct of the Greeks. however, as the enemy lost 600 men, and the Greeks only 90, and 4,000 are again assembled at Karitetre, which it is hopes' will be increased in a ter days to 10,000, and there are 9,000 men at Vernon, they still hope to s.irround the enemy. The aid of Sparta is now wanting. (This letter is dated the 7th of July.)—thistrian Observer, 30th August. COMMERCIAL REGULATIONS BETWEEN GREdiT BRITAIN AND THE NETHERLANDS.
