rvorruptly and wickedly false. At the beginning of August my - health was in such a state, that 1 not only was under medical care, but ate my meals separately from my family, and was intending to go to the coast for change of air. On the 2d, at half-past four o'clock', the horse was put into a gig, and my father drove me to the house of Mr. Rose, my surgeon, in Park-place. That Gentleman being engaged, I was driven by my father to Stockdale's, the bookseller, in Piccadilly ; and rain coming on, I remained there till past five. The wea ther then clearing up, I returned to Mr. Rose's; and, after waiting about a quarter of an hour, had a long interview - with him, and he wrote a prescription for me, which is dated, and will be produced. My father then drove me home to South Audley.street, where we arrived a little after six.— `1 -dined alone ; and, at a quarter past seven, and not till then, I again got into the gig, and my father drove me to Mr. Bell's, the chemist, in Oxford-street, where I got the prescription made up. I went into the shop for this purpose, leaving my cloak in the gig, and I returned to my father, who sat in ,the gig waiting for me, and saw me •come from Mr. Bell's door. lie then drove me for a short time in Hyde-park, and we returned home about a quarter after eight. These facts I purpose to prove, Gentlemen, not by my father alone, but by all the servants in the house, and by Mr. Rose ; and after that proof shall have been submitted to you, I shall cheerfully leave my fate, for such it is, in your hands. I should ill repay the patient attention with which you have honoured me, by wast ing your time in.general observations. If you can think me guilty, nothing that I can say will avert or mitigate your well. deserved censure ; and 'the good name I have acquired by my service in the army, from the age of fifteen to this time, will not, nor ought it, to avail : if, on the contrary, you are of opi nion that my honour has been assailed by a wicked and atro cious calumny, your generous sympathy, expressed in my ac _quittal, will be to you the nlost agreeable termination of your present labour, and to me the most honourable compensation for all that I have suffered from the moment I first heard of this most base and unfounded accusation. _ _ The following witnesses were then called and examined : Serjeatit Powell.—l am a serjeant in the Coldstream Guards. I was, at the canteen on the day when corporal George made some charge against Colonel Gore. It was one Sunday even ing. 1 was sitting in the canteen about eight o'clock, when Colonel Gore's servant came in (William Cooper) and told me his master wanted to speak to me the next morning at eight o'clock, as he was going to leave town. added, I expect, it is about getting another servant, as master and 1 have had some words about loading the carriage. 1 told him I should be there at the time. He then went away, and I went to my room. I returned to the canteen that night, and I heard corporal Oeorge say, " there's a pretty thing. I was' in company the ether night with a Colonel of the Guards—that servant's inas-: ter—in two or three public houses, and drinking with him ,in -one of them. They went into two first, and at the third the Colonel called for a pot of beer and paid for it at the bar with sixpence, and received a penny change." He then said he was standing at a print shop near Harley-street, And, was looking at the degrees of a horse, when the Colonel came IT and asked him where he was going to ? He said no where particular, and the Colonel said, " Come along with me." He went with him to one or two streets, till at last they came to a public house. The Colonel went and looked into the public nouse and came out again. After some consultation between the PRESIDENT and the JUDGE-ADVOCATE, the Court was now cleared. On our re-admission, the witness was recalled, and went on with his evidence as follows :—They then went to a second pub lic house, and came out again, when they went to a third pub lic house, where the Colonel called for a pot of beer at the bar, took it and paid 6d. for it, and got a penny change. The Colonel spoke to a little girl at the bar, and said it was almost time for her to be married, or something to that effect. They _(the Colonel and George) then went into a little parlour near the bar ; the Colonel brought in ,the beer, drank out of the pot, and put it down on the table, and he (George) ,then drank. Immediately after that a third person came in, and called for a pint of beer and a newspaper. The Colonel _ then went out, and said he should .return immediately. He 1 - George) waited some time, drank the beer out, and then went to the landlady, and asked her if she knew him ? She said she did not know him, but he was a very good natured gentle man, and often came there with,soldiers and treated them with beer. He said he then went out of the house into the street, to look if he could see him any where. He could not see him, and then went home. I saw .111 rs. Green, who was examined yes terday, in these bsrraeks, before, about nine months ago. Cor poral George'was .charged.with playing at cards with priyate soldiers, in a public house, and be brought this woman, who, he said was his sister, to prove that at the same time he was along with her buying .things. Corporal George was present when this woman said she was his sister. Examined by Corporal GEOItGE :—I made 'no observation when you made this statement to me. I never said, " that is an old story, and I have heard it years before." Examined by the COURT : There were two or three ser _ Jeants in the room at the time. James Price sworn and examined. I am a private in the .Coldstream Guards. I recollect being charged with Corporal George for playing cards at the sign of the Green Man, in Green-street. George said he should call upon his 'sister Elizabeth Green, the woman who has been examined as a wit ness here,.to come forward. She always owned herself to be ,his sister. George said he should get his sister, Elizabeth Green, to come and say that he was along with her buying some goods ;_ whereas, in point of fact, he was playing cards with me all day. Examined by Corporal GEonGE.—I did not see Elizabeth Green go into the orderly-room, but I saw her at the gate.— Witness withdrew. Mary Lambert.—l live in Barrett's-court, Wigmore-street. Plowman lives there. I have kept the house three years. Ido not know a woman of the name of Green, and never let any part of my house to her. She never lived in the house. I may have seen her before to-day, but I do not recollect—Witness withdrew. Major CHARLES BENTINCK sworn and examined. —I was present at the time of the investigation of the conduct of Col. Gore, at Knightsbridge ; Col. Bouverie took down in writing what passed. Col. WooriFori.D sworn. and examined.—l was also present at the investigation alluded to by the last witness. A statement, dated the 16th of August, was then put in and read ; which purported to be an account of the evidence given by Corporal George, when first examined by the officer of his regiment on the subject of this charge. In this statement there were several very material variances, when compared with the testimony he this day gave before the Court. There was a second statement, dated the 17th August, when he underwent a second examination, in which it also appeared thit he varied in his story. _Major BENTINCK 's examination renewed. Corporal George , said on the investigation in question, , that, Foster, who had for merly been in his regiment, and whom he knew .very well, saw him going into the public-house with Colonel Gore. He added, that Foster h'id been servant to Captain Salway, and was a stone-mason by trade,; he believed he was working at High gate, but did not know where to find him. Arthur Foster; sworn and examined.—l was servant to Cap , tain Salway. I saw Corporal George, for the first time, about six or eight months ago, at Rothwell-park, in Hampshire : he was conducting a prisoner to Peters - field ; I did not see I him again till yesterday. I did not see him in Oxford street on the second of August last. From what I saw of him at Bothwell Park, if I had seen him in Oxford -street, I should have recollected him. I rather think 1 was out of employment . on the 2d of August ; I am not certain. Corporal George said, it was useless to ask this witness any ostiestrons. He had ben told by a sergeant that he said he did not know any thing of him whatever—when they had sailed ' ,in the same ship together from Portsmouth. The witness, in re-examination, positively swore he did not see Corporal George on the 2d of August, nor was he in Ox ford-street to his knowledge on that day.—Witness withdrew. Thomas Gore, Esq. examined.—l live at No. 18, South Audley-street. My son, Colonel Gore, was in my company on the 2d of August. On that day the gig was ordered at a . quarter past four ; soon after which,Colonel Gore came down through the garden, and got into the gig with me at the stable. We then drove to Mr. Rose's, in Park-place, who was en gaged : we then went to Mr. Stockdale's, in Piccadilly.— Colonel Gore got out and went into the shop. remained at 'the door. About five o'clock a very heavy storm of rain came on; which lasted some time. After it was over, the letter bell going, we returned to Mr. Rose's, who was .still engaged. Colonel Gore got out of the gig and went in to consult Mr. Rose ; he remained some time. After the consultation I drove him back to the stable at the back of my house. He then went up the garden to his• own room, and I gave the :wet umbrella to his servant, 'William Cooper. That was _about a quarter past six o'clock ; _and at half-past six o'clock I. sat down to dinner with my family in the parlour, and sent.up Colonel Gore's din - ner by his servant as usual, Colonel Gore , not having dined below or walked out for nearly a month. ,Whilst we were at dinner; having a clock on the side board, it struck seven. I am confidently • punctual as to the time. , The groom was directed. to get the gig when ordered, and about half-past seven or' twenty minutes before eight, Colonel . Gore oame down the garden to the stable, and his servant brought a dry umbrella. 'We then got into the gig, and Colonel (lore put on his blue cloak, 'as he wanted air in the gig, being very indifferent, and could not walk. I then drove down South-street gently, into Park-lane, down Upper Bond-street, .Grostentir-square, and so to Oxford-street. I passed Bell, the chemises door, and turned round to the right of Queen-street, and ,placed the carriage against Bell's .east window and _the cutler's shop, for Colonel Gore to get 'put; notheing able to draw up ~at Bell's door, because of the _crossing from Portland. street. Colonel ,Gore then threw off. his cloak and went into Bell's shop with Mr. Rose's prescrip- 1 tion. He remained there a few minutes, and he never was out of my sight the whole of that afternoon or evening, except those few minutes. I watched his coming out, and the instant he came out he got into the gig, put on his cloak, and we re turned the same way to Park-lane, went in at Grosvenor-gate, drove a short time about Hyde-park, went out at Chesterfield gate, and strait home to the same stable from whence we had departed. It was then half-past eight. Colonel Gore then went up the garden to the drawing-room, where he lay on the sofa the whole evening. Examined by Corporal GEOnGE.— " This good gentleman states that his son was never out of his sight but the few mi nutes in the Chemist's ' • whereas he has already stated he sent his dinner up to him in his room. I would ask him whether lie is sure he was then in his room ?"—A. I can swear that lie was. I went up to him two or three times during dinner, as was my practice every day, to see that he had every thing right. I saw him, and can positively swear he was there. Corporal George examined by the CO URT. Couldhe have gone into Oxford-street in the intervals when you were absent from him ? Certainly not.—" He had not time ?" He had not time, and he could not walk. The longest time between the periods of my seeing him did not exceed, in the first instance, five or ten minutes ; • and in the second, twenty minutes or a quarter of an hour. His servant, William Cooper, attended him dur- ing his dinner. Colonel WOODFORD again examined.—When this charge was made, I met Mr. Gore (the last witness) at Sir Henry Bouverie's, in St. James-'square, to hear his statement, in consequence of the statement of Corporal George. Sir Henry Bouverie,, Colonel Hamilton, Colonel Gore, Mr. Gore, and a friend of his were present. At that meeting Mr. Gore gave in substance the same account he has given this day. I took a minute of what occurred. (The witness then read his minute, and its contents confirmed his impression.) Mr. THO MAS ROSE examined.—l am a surgeon, residing in Park-place, St. James's. Col. Gore was a patient of mine. I wrote the prescription produced on the day it bears date (the 2d of August). It was between half-past four and six when I saw Col. Gore. Col. Gore was not in a state of health to be walking about the street on a wet day. I particularly cautioned him against such a practice, as lig was suffering un der a very severe complaint at the time. I heard a report against Col. Gore, and went to him, informing him of the circumstance, on the 14th of August, to Ramsgate, where he was for the be nefit of sea-air. He came to town the next day. Mr. J. FAJIDEN, assistant to Mr. Bell, the chemist, in Ox ford-street, proved that he had made up the prescription pro duced on the2d of August. It was for Col. Gore, and was de livered at his house in South Audley-street. Col. Gore called between six and eight. Witness believed it was past seven.= Col. Gore delivered the prescription himself. He was dressed as a private gentleman ; a dark coat and waistcoat. He did not observe any thingfurther. John Davis, groom to Colonel Gore, confirmed the evidence of Mr. Gore, as to the departure from and _return to South Audley-street with the gig, both before and after dinner. William Cooper examined.—l am now, and was footman to Col. Gore in August last. I remember his goirig to Rams gate. I remember Friday the 2d of August. I waited upon him at dinner that day. He dined about half-past six. I car ried his dinner up to him in his own room. During dinner I was up and and down with him several times. I saw him go out about half-past seven, after he had dined. It was impos sible for Colonel Gore, after he came into dinner, and half-past seven., to have gone out without my knowledge. 'When he did go out, he went out in the tilbury with his father. Examined by the Court.-4 saw Colonel Gore several times that afternoon before he- went out; he was dressed in a red striped dressing gown. When he went out 1 believe he wore a blue coat ; I cannot say whether . he wore blue or white ' trowsers • I believe it was either one or the other. Ido not re member whether Colonel Gore's father went u p to him during dinner or not. Ile might have done so without my seeing him.— Colonel GORE here announced that he had no other witnesses to call. The PRESIDENT asked Corporal George whether he had any other witnesses to call, or any further remarks to make. Corporal George, in reply, complained that after he had first mentioned the business in the canteen, he was solemnly charg ed, on pain of confinement, to hold , his tongue on the subject, even to the peril of his life. or lie might have found some soldier who had seen him in company with Colonel Gore. The PRESIDENT remarked, that it was very fit he should be restrained from circulating such a story till the facts were pro perly inquired into. Col. WOODFORD stated, that so far was Corporal George from being prevented from looking for witnesses, that he had full permission to go out whenever he chose for that purpose in company with a Serjeant. The Sergeant being present, confirmed Colonel Woodford's, statement, and said that lie repeatedly asked George whether he wished to go any where, as lie was ready to accompany him. The Coy ItT now asked George whether lie could mention any person whom lie was desirous,of being called to support his statement, and who he had been prevented from bringing forward. He answered in the negative. The proceedings were here closed.—The Court was cleared, and the Members proceeded to deliberate on their judgment. Their decision (which was full and honourable acquittal) was yesterday approved by his MAJESTY. RELATIVE RANK AND PRECEDENCE (DIRECTED BY ORDER) OF OFFICERS OF THE ARMY AND NAVY.

His Majesty's yacht, the Royal George, Cap tain Wsr. J. MINGAY (the Commodore having struck his broad pendant), arrived on Tuesday at Portsmouth, from Greenwich, and went into harbour' to be dismantled ; which being done on Friday, she was laid up for the season. His Majesty's frigate yacht, Apollo, will be ready for his Majesty's reception, preview to the next cruizing season, which, we un. derstand, it is his Majesty's intention to commence at an earlier period of the year than usual. His Majesty, we are gratified to hear, was exceedingly delighted with his late aquatic trip to Scotland, expressing often his perfect satisfaction and pleasure with every arrangement and movement of the royal yacht, and the attending squadron. We hear that his - Majesty, in the warmth of his admiration of the steam-vessel which towed his yacht from Flainborough Head to Leith, said, in his usual kind familiar manner to - rhe Commodore—" Charles, never let me go to sea withopt one of these smokers." The following officers of his Majesty's yacht have received promotion since his Majesty's return :-Lieutenants J. Lowry and George RusSell - (son 'of- 'Laird Wm: Russell), to the rank of Corn-. mander ; Messrs. John Jarvis Tucker, Michael Seymour, and William Banbury 111‘Cliutock, to the rank of Lieutenant. About twenty sail of outward-bound merchantmen, which had put into Portsmouth with contrary winds, sailed on Thurs day with a line breeze from the S.E. Among them was the Milford, bound to Bombay, having Sir Edward West, Re corder of• Bombay, and family, on board. Lieutenant,H. F. Greville is promoted to the rank of Com mander, and appointed to the Heron, in the room of Captain Job' Hamner, promoted. Captain Samuel Jackson, C.B. has taken the command of the ships in ordinary at Sheerness. The Redwing, 18, Captain the Hon. G. R. Trefusis, is fitt ing for a foreign service, it is supposed to take dispatches to Bengal of the result of the ministerial negociations with the Right Hon. George Canning, who was expected to sail in the Jupiter, GO, early in the next month, to take upon him the go vernment of India. _ . The Sparrowhawk, 18, was commissioned, at Chatham en Monday by Captain Edward Boxer for the Mediterranean sta tion. Lieutenants.W. Sandom and R. S. Dundas (son of Lord Melville) are appointed to command her. The Forte, Sir Thomas Cochrane, is arrived at Portsmouth from attending his Majesty to Scotland, and remains at Spit head with the Phaeton, Shamrock, Redwing, Calliope, Came icon, and Grecian. The Phaeton frigate; Captain W. A. Montagu, is to be paid off and re-commissioned. _ The Active frigate, Captain Andrew Kixg, is ordered to be fitted to take out his Grace the Duke of Manchester, who is on his return to the Government of Jamaica. Major-General Sir John Keane, K.C.B. who is to succeed General Conran as Com mander-in-Chief of the troops at the island, and Commissioner Charles Ross, C.B. of the Naval Yard at Port Royal (who succeeds Commissioner Woodriff ), will also take their passage in that ship. It is expected the Active will sail about the 25th instant. _ ' It is understood that a regulation is in process at the Treasury Board, to allow the disclarged Quartermen of his Majesty's Dock-yards who will not accept the situation of single station men, to be superannuated on the graduated scale of 1813 ; by which the junior Quartermen will have about 321., and the senior 751. per annum. Yesterday a trial took place in Portsmouth dock-yard, in the presence of the Hon. Sir George Grey, Bart. K.C.8., Admiral Sir J. IL. Whitshed,-K.C.8., Captains Sir James Alexander Gordon, K.C.8., Lieut.-Governor Loring, Capt. Mingay, and the principal officers of the dock-yard, to try the Comparative strength of two anchors, of about 43 cwt. each—one on Mr. Perring's plan ,(lately clerk of the cheque at Plymouth), the other on Mr. Brown's (master•attentlant at Woolwich). The power applied was as follows : viz. a piece of timber was placed across the openings of two storehouses, on which we:v placed cast iron blocks, - for the reception of the pee of each anchor, so as to eiisure the same distance of leaverage on both anchors ; two treble blocks were fixed on the rings of each anchor, and on the falls of these blocks were at tached two treble blocks, the falls of which led through leading blocks and the power of fifty men' was applied on each fall ; whey, after a strain of a few minutes, the shank, of Mr.- Brown's anchor broke at about two feet distance from the crown.—Mr. Perring's anchor was not is the least deranged.— The supposed strain amounted to nearly forty tuns weight.— Mr. Perring's plan of manufacturing anchors is that commonly adopted, namely, by the use of the small hammer, whilst in that of Mr. Brown's the forge hammer only is used; and had the anchor proved equally strong with Mr. Perring's there would be a saving of expense 'equal to about 2d. per lb.—so much less of labour and coals being necessary.—( Hampshire Telegraph, Sept. 1 4.) The line . of Semaphore Signal stations between the Admiralty and Plymouth is not expected to be established before June next. It will form a part of the Portsmouth only as far as Bannicle 'Hill (Surrey), where it will branch off to the west ward. There will be twenty-one posts (or Semaphore houses) between Plymouth and Bannicle Hill, whence, - to the Ad miralty, there are eight.

CHESTER CIRCU IT . — It is stat e d th a t B arons Woon and GRAHAti are about to retire, and that the Hon. C. WARREN, Chief Justice of the Cir cuit, and Sir It. GIFFORD, are to be elevated to the Exchequer Bench. The expected vacancy of the Chief Justiceship of Chester, rumour already says, will be filled up by Mr. Serjeant .

'On Monday last, the remains of Mrs. POLLEN relict of the Rev. RoBT. POLLEN, formerly R ector of Winch tield,a)mwileyrevraeult removed 4 t u a edfroionv her house at Shirley, and ixiterred in the f FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. PARIS, SEPT. 13, 2 A. M.—Despatches from Poitiers have just been received. They bring the decision of the Cour d'Assises given between eleven and twelve o'clock last night. Berton, Sauge, lI.M. Fradin, Jaglin, and Sene chault, are condemned to death. The' other ac cused, with the exception of Marchais and Fradin, are found guilty only of not having dis closed the plot. The details will be given to- morrow : The Assize Court of Paris was occupied the whole of Thursday. in hearing the pleadings of counsel in the complaint made against the editors of four newspapers for having " published a ma licious and unfaithful report" 'of part of the pro ceedings in the trial of the Rochelle Conspiracy. The four papers charged were the Constitutionnel, the Journal du Commerce, the Courier Frangais, and the Pilote. There is one most extraordinary feature in the proceedings—that the Attorney- General's Deputy did not think it necessary to prove that the passage charged as unfaithful was unfaithful, nor argue that such infidelity, must have originated in malicious motives. He con tented himself by saying, that as the Attorney- General was part of the Court, his mere declara tion that the passage was incorrect and malicious was sufficient. The counsel for the journals spoke with great zeal and ability, but without effect ; for the Court, after a sitting which, with a short interval of adjournment, lasted from two o'clock in the afternoon till a quarter past one the next mornin g , passed the following sentence (which they had been deliberating upon from ten till a quarter past one :)—M. G vise, the Editor of the Constitutionnel, and. M. Faucillon, the Editor of the Journal du Commerce, were sentenced (each) to one year's imprisonment, and a fine of 5,000 francs. M. Legracieux, the Editor of the Courier Frangais, to six month's imprisonment and a fine of 3,000 francs. M. Cassano, the Editor of the Pilote, to one month's imprisonment and a fine of 1,000 francs. The four journals are also forbidden to publish any reports of judicial proceedings—the two former for the space of a year; the third for six months; and the last for three months. They are condemned in costs in nearly the same proportion.

This proceeding was instituted under the new law passed in March last; the law is cruel enough in itself,' but the mode of administering it, by making a charge of an interested party tantamount to sworn proof, shows how ignorant our neighbours are of even the first elements of civil liberty and criminal justice.

[From the Austrian Observer of Sept. 2.] VIENNA, SEPT. I.—Accounts from Zante from the 4th to 22d J uly, furnish us with data respect ing the military operations in Albania and the neighbouring countries, which differ in no mate rial particular from those- received from Corfu and Constantinople (in the Observer of the 16th and 29th August), but complete and confirm them in many points. So long as the latest. operations of the Turks against the Morea cannot be viewed in their full extent, we shall not permit ourselves to draw hasty conclusions from individual reports, even though they should, like the present ones, deserve entire confidence. The following extracts from these reports will however enable judicious readers to form an opinion on the true state of things : Chourschid had long hoped to end the war in Albania by the taking of Suli, and the entire subjection of the Suliots. He was more than once near to attaining his object; the Suliots, like the other Albanian tribes, are no friends to the Greeks ; they have merely taken advantage of their aid, without having the least share in their insurrection, to sell their submission to the, Turks as dear as possible, and would long since have returned to their obedience had the terms they asked been granted them. At the beginning of June they were so pressed on all sides, and in such want of provisions, that they declared themselves will ing to capitulate, and Chourschid' really expected on the 7th of Jima, to accomplish the capitulation before Sidi, which he blockaded. But just at this time the insurgents again pro mised the most effective assistance ; all Albania was to be soon conquered ; the Suliots believed these brilliant promises, and the negotiations were broken off Chourschid, thinking his presence more necessary in Thessaly, where he had meantime collected numerous corps, left the further conduct of the cam paign to Omer Pacha and Mehmed Pacha, left Joahnina on the 17th of June, and proceeded by way of Trikala to Larissa: Meantime, Maurocordato had sent from Missolongi several small corps, partly by the route of Arta, and partly by sea, to land between Prevesa and Parga. He entrusted the main ex pedition for the relief of Suli to Marco Bozzari, an enterprising and able partisan, who really advanced as far as Carvassera, but was there repulsed and obliged to take a position in the mountains of Chimrnra and Combotti, near Arta. Omer Pacha here attacked the insurgents about the middle of July at Placca, and afterwards at Patta, and defeated them in two decisive actions. Maurocordato fled precipitately with Bozzari, who was severely wounded in the arm, and sought to reach Missolongi by way of Vrachori and Landacco. The remains of the insurgents dispersed in the mountains, where they may indeed for a time carry on a petty,.warfare, but can undertake nothing of importance, and especially not hinder Omer Pacha from marching against Missolongi ; since, after the late battles, he had collected at Arta. his lylinle force, amounting to 15,000 men. The maritime operations of Maurocordato were not more for tunate. The troops landed near Fanari (between Prevesa and Parga), estimated at about 1,500 men, made at first some pro gress, which not only encouraged the Suliots to farther.resist ance, but induced some of the former. inhabitants of Parga; o their misfortune, to repair from Corfu to Epirus. Soon things took another turn. The Samiotes, upited with the Turkish garrison of Glisri, totally defeated the insurgents, and all those who had joined them, in a sanguinary battle,.hi which, among other persons, the brother of the Bey of Maim, a man of impor tance, lost his life. Ile was solemnly interred at Missolongi, on the 20th July. Before Patras the affairs of the insurgents were in no better condition. Colocotroni, who directed the blockade of this most important place, was placed in such a situation by the insubor dination and jealousy bf his companions in arms, that he formed himself a body guard of 300 men to be safe from assassination. Ile sent one message after another to the Senate to ask rein forcements, and was answered that the troops were wanted else where. After a violent dispute with the Treasurer Landi, he retired with his body guard to Gastuni. Immediately after this Mehmed, Pacha of Patras, attacked the Greek camp on all sides, and forced the Chiliarch, Petimessa, to retreat into an old half ruined fort, where he will probably be soon obliged to surrender. The plan with which Chourschid Paella began his operations in Thessaly was to penetrate through Livadia against the Penin sula, and to march directly to Tripolizza. A part of this plan is Thyexecuted. This march through the defiles which separate saly from Livudia seems to have been facilitated by the defec t 2 of Odysseus. This Chief, long at v a riance with the Senate who had the insolence to cause two Deputies to be N u who had been sent to him; these were the Archon Alessi° l " and Captain Haverio Palasca. After this, he was (16. 1 °1w enemy to his country, and the Metropolitan pronounced an thema against him.
