MADRID, AUGUST IS. In the night of the 19th instant, there was a false alarm at -the Palace. A rumour was ci►culated amongst the guard, that the Ring intended to make his escape by the subterranean passage which leads to the Casa-del.Campn. The guard immediately took arms to oppose this attempt, but soon after all was restored to order, as it was discovered to be a false alarm. Reports of this natu►e caused some ferment, which appeared to increase this evening at the time when detachments of the regiments of the Prince and the Infant Don Carlos, were preparing to leave the garrison and march to•Burgos, and in the direction of Seguenzs.. A part of the national guard were under arms eatly in the night, bat all pissed off quietly. General Miva set out last night with his staff to take . the command of the army of Catalog'''.

Letters from Semlin speak of a great victory gained by the Greeks, between Larissa, the Straits of Thermopylae, and Salons, over Chourschid Paths. If this news may be credited, this bloody battle was fought on the Bth of July, by the Gene rals Ypsilanti, Nommen, and Box sees. Norruann was elevated on a shield, and saluted with the title of " Heroic Chief." Four Pachiss are said to be taken ; nod Chourschid niche, conqueror the evening before, arid advancing at the head of 70,000 men, was obliged to flee with scarcely 4,000. The Austrian Observer, of the 16th of August, does not agree with this news, except as it relates to the death of Ulysses. It appears not to have known more than the trifling defeat which the Greeks suffered on the 7th, which did not, however, prevent them from returning the following day with renewed vigour. —(Le ConstitutionneL) BRUSSELS PAPERS.

[Prom the Aretrian Observer.] COWITANTIUOPLU, JULY U. • The measures latelyadopted to restomdiscipline and order among the Janissaries are not only en forced with g►eat strictness, but daily extended. The Sultan* has commanded, that the number of Janimaries quartered in the hawks shall not ex. ceed 40,006 men; that the other descriptions of troops, such es the Topachis, Bombard'," Dos- Lke. shall lay aside the badges of the several divisions of the Janissaries, and shall wear only the number of the orta of their respective corps ; that the sign ofthe orta shall in future be fixed only to the barracks and guard-houses, and never to other building•, which acquire thereby illegal protection ; that the public markets,where in former troublesome times the greatest excesses were committed, shall henceforward be guarded exclusively by that arta to which the Aga of the Janissaries belongs. The Janissaries, who clearly see from all these measures, and from the instant punishment that falls on every one who acts contrary to them, the Government is this time really in earnest, have submitted in hum ble silence, and the salutary effects of these first reforms are felt by the inhabitants of Constantinople. The Turkish fleet has lately left ifs station off Tenedos, after being joined by all the reinforce ments sent to it from this city. It is said that it will go first to, Petra., to fetch the new High Ad miral, Kara Mehmed - Pacha, the news of whose death was false; on the contrary he iv said to have made some successful sallies against the corps of insurgents that blockade Patna by land. The Egyptian and Algerine fleet was seen on the 14th of July n , lir Samoa. What has been related of landings effected by this fleet on several islands of the Archipelago is not yet confirmed, except that it stopped at Cendia, and landed some hundred men near Suds, who were immediately engaged with the insurgents: it seems no where to have attempted ally thing. The month of Jane has been the most unfortu nate for the Turkish army in their contest with the Greeks. The citadels of Athena, and of Napoli di Romania, capitolatee nearly at the same time. The capitulation of the first was signed on the 22d. According to the conditions the garrison was to withdraw unmolested, but it is said, nevertheless, to have been afterwards murdered. Coron, Motion, and l'atras, were still blockaded by the insurgents. Kars Mehmed Paella, the new High Admiral, had hitherto vigorously defended the letter; and the unexpected retreat of the Insurgent Chief, Coloco troni, to Gestuni (on the south of Paints), had been of much advantage to him. This was nearly the state of affiirs when accounts were received of the latest operations of the Sem kier, Chourschid Pacbs. It was thought for a time that he was detained by the diversions effected in Albania, partly by the Suliots, and partly by the Greek Insurgents; it seem', however,. that this was not the care. Choorschid Paella had left the con duct of the war in Albania to the Paella of Arta, who, with a corps of 6,000 men, attacked the In surgents in the middle of the mouth of July, and is said to have obtained important advantages over them, of which, however, none of the details have reached us. Mean time Chourechid niche, with the main army of 40,000 men (other accounts make it more numerous), marched to Thessaly, by way of Zeitun, where the Insurgents are said to have re ceived a severe defeat, penetrated through the Tleermopylas, and oceopied Livadia and Sslona; and, according to subsequent letters, recovered Thebes arid Athens. It is certain that towards the end of July (June ?), the greatest consternation pre •vsiled in all these parts, and that desperate mea sures were taken for the defence of the Pelopon- DeSall. To an army like that• under Chourschid Pachs, the lutorgents, it is true, cannot oppose one of equal strength ;yet their force would be great enough considering the enthusiasm with which they must be supposed to be inspired, to make • powerful re. sistenee, did not the want of harmony among their leaders impede their enterprises on all sides, their ablest military chiefs are rough soldiers, who will not be dictated to by the better informed political leaders, who ere wholly ignorant of war. Odysseus, celebrated in Europe on account of his political name, was neither more nor less than a common Mainote highwayman, and on whom Ali Pacha con ferred a kind of importance, by employing him in the most desperate and sanguinary enterprises—this Chief, after having at first rendered important set vices to the Insurgents, appears uow to have met with an end worthy of his former exploits. Th►e Political Junta, which calls itself the Greek Senate, sent to him two officers who had been brought up in foreign service to assist him in con. ducting his military operations. Odysseus had them murdered without ceremony. On this he was declared a traitor, and excommunicated. He then joined Choorschid niche, and has been of great assistance to him in his present expeditions. According to the latest accounts, be has already met with his death, in what manlier is not kuown. Colocotroni, though of rather • better character than Odysseus. seems to be openly at variance with the Political Junta. He has raised the blockade of Patras without any reason, and is even said to have recalled his son from Albania, where he com manded a small corps. Demetrius Ypsilanti, whose personal character was esteemed, had lost all credit, by his total want of military talents. Maurocon dato, • young anus of much understanding, and of great capacity for political affairs, acts now the part of • General, for which he is not qualified, either from ill judged ambition, or from the real want of serviceable commanders. His enemies accuse him of aiming at the Dictatorship, which some accounts • Tits is costumed by the meows fro. Cork .~...- say his party has really given hie). 'Under inch circumstances the cause of the Insurgents moot prosper, except through extreme indolence and want of energy on the part of the Turkish Govern. went. The annual appointment of the two Kadinskers, and of the Supreme Judge of Constantinople, has been male within these few day,. Halil &di Arif Bey was appointed Kadissker of Romelie, one of the most important posts in the civil administration of the Ottoman Empire. During this hot summer the plague has appeared in ♦arious parts of the Turkish Empire. Even the capital and its environs are not wholly free from it. The same is stated to be the case at Salonichi ; but it is stated to commit treat ravages in Albania. Alexandria in Egypt, and Algiers, have also been visited by this scourge. —(Austrian Observer, Antra 16.) FRANKFORT. AUGUST 22. The German Journal of this city contains va rious accounts copied from the Allgeineine Zeiimng of the victories said to have been gained by the Greeks in articles dated from Constantinople, 23d and 26th July, and Semlin, gth August. These accounts, written by Greeks, are in direct contra diction ; it ob , with those given by the Aus trian Observer, from Constantinople, 25th July, which it gives at length, as also the accounts insert ed in the same Paper, received from Corfu, which are as follows : We (the Austria. Observer) have received re ports from Corfu of the 24th, 27th, and 29th of July, which furnish us with the following particu lars :—On the 6th of this month the Pach■ of Arta had a rencontre near the little town of Places, with the troop., amounting to about 35,000 men, which were commanded by Captain Marco Ihzzari and two Greek leaders, Isco and Taskir, who had join ed. After a smart action, in which the loss was equal on both sides (the Pacha, however, had his horse killed wider him and his baggage taken), the insurgents retreated in great haste to the strong position of Petta, in the mountains (two German miles from Arta). The occupation of Paces en abled the Pacha to ►each Arta without farther op position, and there to prepare his further operation.. The insurgents had erected many entrenchments about Pettit, and formed two camps, one of which was called the Hellenic, and the other Philellenic. In the latter were the Germans and other volunteers, under General Norman:), about 280 in number, with two field pieces and a great quantity of bag gage. On the 16;h the Turks, in three division'', attacked both the camps. The entrenchments were obstinately defrilded fur some time, and the Turks experienced great loss. But the Albanians soon pressed forward with such impetuosity, that all re. sistance ceased. Irvin Aga, a young Albanian Chief, of good fimily, look with his division seven redoubts, 'but was mortally wounded, and died the following day at Arta. One of the first attach of the Turks was direct ed against the Philellents. After a valiant bet fruitless defence of their port, the greater part was cot off in about an hour. Of the 200 men, 150 remained dead on the field. General Nurmann and Lieut.-Colonel Gubernati escaped with about 70 to the mountains near Combotti, the rest were taken prisoners, brought to Arta, and executed in different parts of the town. On the 18th, the Al banians with great booty, and numerous trophies of their victory, entered Arts. Among the latter a great number of F:uruptan insignia were found. In the baggage of the Piiilellenes was found also the passport given to General Normann on the Bth of December, 1821, by the Committee of Friends of the Greeks at Stutgard, and numerous testi monial* of the, military services performed ou pre ceding occasions by the members of this little corps. The above account proceeds from the pen of an eye witness (end he is a German), who laments the fate of his unlnoppy countrymen with that feeling which must inipirc every well-constituted mind on hearing of such events. After the action of the 16th, which the Talks consider an a decisive victory, though the war in Albania is not terminated by it, the Albanians oc cupied the important positions of Petta. Bozzari and General Magnolia (Gubernati is said to have perished in his flight) threw themselves with the scattered remainder of their troops into the almost inaccessible defiles of the mouutaius of Macronora. On the 18th the Turks attacked another position of the insurgents near Sufi, where they were how ever repulsed with considerable loss. Colocotrours son, and the well-known Captain Gogo, each with 800 men, had been in the camp of the insurgents. The former was obliged to withdraw before the action at Petta, by order of his father, who is said to have quarrelled with the Greek Authorities. Gogo left the Greeks immediately after the first skirmish. Meantime Chourschid Pachs, with s numerous army, has marched to Zeilon, passed the Thermo. pylet, recovered Livadia, and it is said even the citadel of Athens, which capitulated a few months ago. Accounts just now received state that he bas already even occupied Corinth, in which he has been greatly assisted by the well-known Odysseus who has lately deserted the Greeks. FRANKFORT, AUGUST 20. The Spec Minor Oriestel says, " Aecordiug to letters from Selouichi, of the 7th July, every thing was 'quiet in Macedonia and at Salonichi." One letter gays, " There is not the shadow of as insur. section is Macedonia, whatever some Journals in Europe may say!" Voltam* there had been some cases of plague at Salonichi ; it was hoped, however, that it would soon cease, ■nd in fact no thing had been said about it for these two or three last days.

Yesterday was the day fixed for the KING'S de. parture from Edinburgh. MS MAJESTY proposed to embark from the neighbourhood of that city, and may be expected at his Palace in Pall-mall to-morrow. The LORD CHANCELLOR remains in town awaiting his return. Immediately after hit MAJESTY'S arrival a Council will be held, at which the arrangements consequent upon the death of the Marquis of LONDONDERRY will be taken iuto con tideration. The appointment of Lord COLCHESTER. first noticed in this Paper, to the office of Secretary of State for the Dome Department, vice Mr. PEEL. is considered one of the changes moat likely to take place. Ilia Lordship is eminently qualified for the situation. It will be seen by the letter from the Ag►nt to Lloyd's at Gibraltar, ihat the Government of Spair has marked its sense of the conduct of the United States, in recognising the independence of the South American Governments, by commanding the States to remove their depot of naval storey hoc the island of Minorca. Spain could not, without I compromise of her dignity, fail to evince displeasure against the United States, on account of the recog nition of her revolted provinces; but the step o compelling the States to look around for anothc depot in the Mediterranean will probably have ►h. effect of inducing the Americans e•ernestly to basis• the Greeks, from whom alone they can expect t. obtain a harbour. Should Greece owe her freedon: to the interference of the United States of America while the ancient free Powers of Europe looker coldly on the contest, it will afford them everlart ing glory. When Greece sunk under the arms s' AbIURATH, America was yet undiscovered, and the Turks were the most formidable people in the world America has since passed from infancy to th strength of maturity, and now exercises a consider able influence upon the affairs of Europe, whit the Ottoman Porte is sinking into the decrepitudt of old age. Greece ventures once again to hope fg independence. and her patriots look for !mistimt to the country where • confederation of Republic. seems to offer a picture of what Greece herrelf in exhibited in the brightest period of her existence We confess that we should envy the United State the glory of giving liberty to Greece. The Paris Papers are beginning to acquire deeper interest than they have fur some time pot seued. Those of Monday, which have arrived our Office, contain intelligence from Madrid o' culated to give a painful impression respecting th situation of the Royal Family of Spain. The cor dition of crowned heads has been made the &alibi subject of very sage though trite remarks upo the little happiness that usually belongs to th. rank, but sorrow most have befallen the Roy, House of Spain with more than the ordinary de gree of bitterness when we find that the your Princess, who so lately united her fortunes bathos of FERDINAND, is sim.king into the grave under II weight of a nervous malady, brought on, it is suit. by the continued state of alarm to which her Mr Jerry has been subjected. It is added that a KING had demanded permission to go to Salida that his Royal Consort might enjoy the benefit the bath., but that this request had been denied t. him. The QUEEN, indeed, would be suffered t go whither she pleased, but her MAJESTY, sit• Saxon spirit, refused to leave the Palace unle•• she were accompanied in the manner that beam her rank. We hope sincerely, and this hope per haps influences our belief, that the statement without foundation. We have not been preplan to view the King of SPAIN as a captive in his Ps lace, and although it is painfully true that the fro gile texture of the female mind is too apt to sir• under the influence of even remote terrors, we yt think that no cause of serious alarm has been give to the QIMEN, and therefore trust that this story o her extreme danger is founded less in reality thin in the apprehension of her friends, or the " wea l invention" of the enemies of the Constitution.
