THE BRITI S H PR E S. ~ a 11 - LONDON. " WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1822. The accounts of the military operations of the Greeks and Torks nre never stationary• ; they •i -'brate like a pendulum, from one side to the other. The foreign intelligence in our Paper of yesterday was favourable to the Greeks; German Papers re ceived last night make a contrary impression. The following are eatracts CORFU, AUGUST 16. While the Greeks were fighting with such coor age on both sides of Thermopylie, and obtained several advantages over the Turks, they ouffrted considerable checks in a quarter where they did not at all expect to be attacked. Two Turkish corps have entered the Mo►ea, and are destroying every thing with fire and !word. One of these corps has been conveyed on board of Chris tian ships from Lepanto to the other Gulf, and pe netrated into the northern part of the Morea, while the other was landed near Paints by Turkish yes vels (belonging to the fleet coming from the coast of Asia Minor). and having joined the garrison of Patras, marched into the west o► the Mom. These two Turkish corps are endeavouring to effect their junction in the heart of the Pelopounesus. The Greeks have no organised corps to oppose them ; their best troops are in the south of Thessaly, where they have hitherto fought with so much advantage, that Choursehid Pacha has been obliged to call on the Pacha of Salonichi to send him reinforcements If • • ~. 3 , .•,. so, . i 1 1 I !i ~. 1 • .

The yellow fever still existed in that city, but the cases re ported were not numerous, and were confined to Rector-street and its vicinity, the district where the infection first appeared. The Board of Health held daily sittings in New York, Sundays not excepted, and exercised the strictest vigilance of prevent the spreading of the fever into other qua►ters. Some doubts were expressed at one of the meetings of the Hoard, whether the physicians scrupulously fulfilled their duty in reporting all the cases of fever that came under their cognizance, to which course it was insinuated they might be prompted by the anxiety of many families to prevent their situa tion bring publicly known; but thio . charge, which, if true, would tend to keep the inhabitants in ig norance of the real extent of their danger, was by 'to means substantiated. The New York Papers bring intelligence from South America to the end of July, which states, that General MORALES had embarked with his troops to join the Royalists at Porto Covello. He had been chased by the Colombian squadron, which had touched at Curacoa, but the ap pearance of a Spanish frigate caused the latter to give up the chase, and shape a different coorse. It must have been a feeble force that was frighten ed by a single frigate. MORALES, thus left to pur sue the object of his eppedition, has no doubt en tered Porto Civello. the Patriot squadron by which that port was blockaded having found it necessary to retire, in order to escape the contagion which swept sway great numbers of the garrison and the inhabitants.

Previous to the melancholy event he was a very healthy and strong man. The ship Buda, Captain SCORESBY, jun. ar rived here on Thursday, from Greenland, with 195 tuna blubber, the produce of nine whales. During the Intervale, of the fishery, Captain SCORESBY employed himself in making observations on the geography and natural history of the long-lost east ern coast of Greenland, winch was within sight for three months. The result, we understand, is • survey of the eastern coast of that almost unknown country, from let. 75. N. to 69. comprising an ex tent of coast, reckoning its numerous isdentations, of about 800 aides. Captain SCORESBY discovered sonic extensive inlets, from the number of which lie is induced to .consider the whole country a lar g e assemblage of islands. He braided on venous parts of the coast, and on each visit to the shore dis covered recent traces of inhabitants, and obtained fragments of their implements. It is important to geography, to know that the form of this land sur veyed by Captain Scousitm is extremely unlike what it .re represented ill our best charts, and that the error iu longitude, in most cases, was not less than 16 degrees. We understand that he has made large collection, of plants and minerals, particu larly of geological specimens.
