-Alma - into the defiles of Trachia, nearly four I leagues in length, he lost three-fourths of the • remainder of his army. From the village of Zoli to Thaurtiacos, the whole way was filled up , with dead bodies. The Seraskier arrived at La= rissa with only 3,000 men. A single column of twelve or fourteen thou-, sand men, detached from the army of Chourschid • before the battle, penetrated by a circuitous -road into Lacris.

ZANTF, Aug. 12.—As•soon as the Greek Go vernment was informed that a corps of the Turk . ish army had penetrated into the Peloponnesus, • and that.the Turkish fleet was expected on its 'coasts, 'it summoned all the inhabitants to arms by the following Proclamation • " The most cruel tyranny has compelled.you to have re course to arms to purge thelorne of your fathers from the san luinary monsters; who, for so long .a time, have bowed you to .the earth with ignominy and exactions. Furious at seeing you struggling for liberty, these monsters-resolved to annihilate you: The sun-has never shone on a cause more just and sacred than yours, nor on a more bloodthirsty enemy. " Your successes have only inspired your enemy with-a more ardent desire for vengeance; collecting all his forces both by sea and-land, he wished to strike,a blow as unexpected as se vere. Now the grand contest is to begin which must bring on . a crisis decisive of our revolution. Life and death are common to all animals ; but freedom or a gloriousdeath is the -ornament of men worthy of the name. Leave then, Peloponnesians, and other Greeks, your . private Affairs, and your commercial pur - suits, to take np arms. Let Peloponnesus and the whole of Greece be transformed into a camp, where the impotent fury of your enemies shall be for ever subdued. " You do not require to go far in search of the examples you ought to follow—around you are the tombs of your heroic an cestors. Your representatives, resolved to conquer or perish, will march at the head of the army. Let the whole nation leave -the towns and follow their leaders to the combat, till the horrid monster of despotism gives up his last breath beneath our re peated blows. " Brave Mainots, sons of the Spartans, your steep rocks, _your villages will no longer be the retired place where Liberty may breathe secure. Descend with her to the cities and plains of Greece. And you, intrepid Souliots, who have never feared en enemy, you have yet to make one struggle, and you -will be :for ever united with your brethren. ",Inhabitants of Hydra, of Spezia, of Psara, the vessels which your cannon• have not yet subdued are no more invin cible than those you have already destroyed. You will prove the.-eb world, that it is not masses of.wood but men .who hbtain naval victories. - " ATHANASE 'KANAKARE, Vice•President:' " Argos, July 11 (23), 1822." 'ln consequence of this proclamation, between seven and eight thousand men. of the voluntary militia united themselves with the troops at Patras. Four thousand Mainotes, following the ...orders of their Chief Mauromichale, arrived at Caiamata. The other Peloponnesians having . taken up arms, Generals Colocotroni and Mauromichale were soon able to march at the bead of 16,000 men towards Argos. It was in the plains of Argo's that they met• the enemy and defeated him. The remains of the Turkish army went iowards Corinth, where a corps of the enemy's army, amounting to 6,000 men, composed of ,Turks from Patras and from Lepanto, had just arrived. The victorious Greeks marched against these new enemies. The second battle lasted the 6th and 7th of August,* and was fought on the plains of St. George, between Argos and Corinth. Three thousand Turks perished. As yet the number of wounded and of prisoners is, not known ; about 2000 horses, 120 camels, and -,.all , the :baggage and ammunition fell into the hands,of the Greeks, and the defeated Turks endeavoured to proceed towards Corinth, whither. Colocotroni pursued them with .vigour. HYDRA, JULY 31..—Six days ago the Turkish ',fleet crossed the seas on its way to Patras. .It . consisted of 68 vessels, four of which were of the line, and five frigates. This is the third cruise which it has made in this neighbourhood. It is now intended to take on board the new Capitan Pacha, who .is far from equalling in merit his . cruel predecessor. A corps of the Turkish army, amounting to .12,000 men, recently penetrated by Livadia into the Peloponnesus, where it is now harrassed by . the inhabitants. It entered .the Peloponnesus ~-by the Gulf of Lepanto+. The Greeks have no longer to fear the Turkish, :troops. The worst enemies for, them are certain Christians, who persecute Christianity in Greece, as much as they cherish it, in their own country ; but it is not the British Government which carries on this species of ,undeclared war against the.: Greeks. Since this Government was convinced of the pacific intentions of Russia, it has seemed strictly to observe the neutrality which it avows. But another .Christian,GOvernment, since it has obtained from the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh a promise not to make war against the Turks, favours their operations as much as it impedes ..those of the Greeks. While England did not oppose the blockade established by the Greeks, * Tl , e Austrian Observer , which sives news contrary in ap pearance to this,:_eites•only etters of the 22d of July, or dated :fifteen days anterior to ours. t This is the same corps of which we announced the almost total dissolution, in the Constitutionnel of Sept. 7th. the trading vessels of another nation, accompanied by an armed squadron, sought to supply a place with provisions biockaded by ,the Greeks. An intrigue prepared from afar, has recently been detected. A number of pretended exiles, under the pretext of seeking service hi Greece, wished to engage other foreigners to join with them in their intrigues. The confessions of some of these vile instruments 'have taught the Greeks what they have to fear from the secret and un declared war. _COURT OF ASSIZES OF POICTIERS. SITTING OP SEPT. 11. When the PRESIDENT had asked whether the accused had any thing to add to what had been said by their Advocates ? Berton remarked that he had been without an advocate, and consequently without defence, as his want of experience in ju dicial proceedings made him unable to collect and express his thoughts. He made some observations on the conduct of the Procure= General. " Gentlemen," he observed, " You, as well as we have been able to examine his ferocious looks, which in vain endeavoured to soften themselves when they turned to you for help. He has neglected nothing to breathe into your souls the cruel feelings which animate his own. The act of ac cusation, which has been read to you, would Of itself suffice to render his name horribly notorious, and you have seen, I think, that he admires himself in his work. I have already told you, if your conscience demands blood, 1 offer you mine ; I aban don my life to you, but spare, I pray you in the name of hu manity, in. the name of your own glory,' these men who marched with me ; they were deceived, they yielded to solicita tions, they were dragged on, restore them to their families. Far seven months they have suffered all the horrors - of. a ri gorous imprisonment ; cast for the'most part into dungeons, de= paved of help which their poverty could not afford them, their families, their children will bless you, your names will not be forgotten in their prayers; your sleep will be the more tranquil, and no remorse will shake your consciences." After relating some petty vexations to which he had been subjected in prison, and among others, that the gaoler was in the habit of insulting him. by telling him that he (the General) was namesake to a turnkey, he observed, I answered, " Co to him who tutored you, and' tell him that the name of Berton shall be honoured in France when the name of Mangin (the Procureur-General) shall be execrated. My children shall ever bear that name with pride. Remember that the family name of the brave Crillon was Berson ! This is an honour which the Procureur.: General would not dispute, but aristocracy does not stand in stead of courage. On that point, I appeal to the testimony of all my companions in arms and glory. An inward feeling tells me, that. the shades of the brave Crillon and so many other heroes who have died for their country will not repulse mine. ,I offer you my breast ; strike, Gentlemen, And I shall die with out fear. My soul is bold—it will be content—l shall mount with joy towards my everlasting dwelling, if I can obtain in fa vour of all these unfortunate men your justice and your indul gence, which I ,implore., Many Frenchmen will envy my fate, and I will yield this honour to no one ; my death will be useful to my fellow-citizens and to my country." The Sub-Prefect of. Saumur, Joseph A. de Carr2:re, was afterwards introduced and examined as a witness. lie . gave an account of the insurrection, which had nothing new in it. He-was asked by the President what effect the presence of M. Benjamin Constant, at some previous time, had produced in Saumur ? Witness=-I can affirm, that in effect the presence of M. B. Constant produced in Saumur 'very'disagreeable results on the spirit of the inlia.bitants:of that town. It was seen even that some of the National Guard were forgetful of authority, and wandered from their duty, which was never seen before. The witness then entered into details on the events which then passed at Saumur. Benj. Constant, he added, determined,to, set out, on our reite rated request. The day being fixed, he excused himself, alleg ing the indisposition of Madame. It was thus he designated a lady who accompanied him, and whom he called his wife. We knew afterwards what there was in it. .At last. the health of Ma dame was a little better, and B. C. determined to set out. At the moment of his leaving the town a considerable crowd surrounded him ; he threw here and there his looks, as if •to call for ap plause ' • I cried " Vive le Roi !" I was answered by several cries of " Viva Benjamin Constant !" but the majority of the population cried " Vive le Roi !" the witness was also asked several questions by the Presi dent, as to the characters borne in Saumur by such of the ac cused as were natives of it. The President having summed up, the Jury retired at a. quar ter before twelve in the morning, and returned at half-past nine in the evening. We have already given the result of their de cision. Berton, Caffe, Sange, H. Fradin, Senechault, have 'been sentenced to.death. Affix was found guilty of the plot by seven of the Jury to five, but the majority of the Judges (as is usual in the case of so close a division) joined the minority of the Jury, and declared his acquittrd. Affix, and all the others, with the exception of two who were acquitted, were found guilty of not revealing the plot, and sentenced to various terms of confinement, from five years to one year, and to fines of from 2,000 to 50 francs. SPAIN. The following are additional Extracts from the Madrid Papers, received on Sunday :--, MADRID, AUG. 31. On the 27th, Blas and Baltasar, leaders of the insurrection in Alcaniz in December last, suffered the punishment of death at Saragossa. It is confidently asserted that the present Ministry has de cided on convoking Extraordinary Cortes, and that in order to come to an agreement on this point, some of the Secretaries of Despatch held a conference on the 28th with the permanent deputation. The convenience or inconvenience of this measure has already become the subject of conversation. Some are of opinion that the executive power should be left to perform its labours without restraint, and with all that prudent energy which the present circumstances require. Others consider .the idea of convoking Extraordinary Cortes .as a very judicious one, and they found their opinion not only on the critical situa tion of present circumstances, and 'on . the future occurrences which they must produce, considering the present state of the whole of Europe, but also on the belief that the mere fact of the existence of thel assembled Cortes would give greater confi dence to the Government, and to all the friends of the constitu tion, and woulli, at the same time, efficaciously contribute to wards maintaining the respect which we have a right to exact from other Powers. For our parts we do not doubt that if the present Ministry convoke the Extraordinary Cortes, they will be actuated by a full conviction of the utility of such a measure. We must not forget also that there is business now pending, which it would be impossible to discuss except in Extraordinary Cortes. And as for the probability of the action of the Executive Power being paralysed by this measure, if we saw any likelihood of such an event, we should be among the first to give a decided opinion contrary to the intended convocation ; but we do not apprehend that this can be the case;—first, because the risks which equally threaten all will keep every mind united towards the fulfilment of the principal object, which is the destruction of the infamous faction which seeks to enslave us and to bring round again the bloody and,disgraceful days of the six years of inquisition and ignominy ;—secondly . , because the present Mi nistry may rely on an indubitable majority in the Cortes, not only for the reason.we have already nientioned, but also because the party which may now be called the opposition is, generally speaking, composed of men who feel the necessity of maintain ing the Government, and that such is the foundation of their principles, is manifest; and thirdly, because the Cortes, as sembling to consider affairs determined in the order of convo cation, cannot in any manner embarrass the Government, which should devote exclusively all its resources to the establishment. of that order and tranquillity which we all desire. —(EI Uni versal.) On the 28th, thirteen armed men passed by the way of Avila. They were pursued, and seven of them taken, who proved to be deserters from the Guards who were dispersed in the affair of the 7th of July. SEPTEMBER 1. It appears that all the political chiefs and commandants of districts are to be ch: , .ngetl. This measure will give satisfac tion to most patriots, who are convinced that the subaltern au thorities ought to be in a state of perfect harmony with those who command, if it be wished to prevent confusion and dis order in the administration of public affairs. The Queen's indisposition still continues, and no improve ment appears to have taken place in the state of her Majesty's health. Don Joaquin Villanueva, canon of Cuenca, is appointed Mi nister at the Court of Rome. What will the exclusive and routine prosopopeia of our diplomatists say to this ? It was yesterday observed by Copons in a private circle, that he had fallen into disgrace, not for what he had done, but for what he had said. SEPTEMBER 2. Some persons are of opinion that the Court of Rome will not recognize Don Joaquin l'illanueva as agent for Spain. The famous robber Rojo dc Valderas, who late!) , became a champion of the faith, has been made prisoner. SEPTEMBER 3. _ _ The promulgation of the penal code is speedily expected. It is said that the new system it is to establish will prove very un palatable to the officers of certain tribunals. SEPTEMBER 4. _ _ When, in one of our late numbers, we observed that an in telligent and active 'political chief might disconcert all the plots of the enemies of liberty, before the fire of sedition should gain an ascendancy in his province, we might, in support of our as sertion, have quoted what has just occurred in Madrid, where the energy of our political chief - has stifled in its birth a spirit of sedition which might have proved fatal, not to the cause of liberty, but to the imprudent individuals who suffered them selves to be seduced. by the bribes of our enetnies. The follow ing arc the authentic particulars which we have collected rela tive to the object and result of this expedition, which for seve ral days has occupied public attention, and which the Serviles have attempted to turn to their own account, by declaring that the most imminent danger had compelled the political chief to quit the capital It appears that as early as the 16th of August, that magistrate was credibly informed that a factious party was ,forming in the town of El Molar, and that the agents of this plot were busily recruiting in the towns of Valdetorres, Fuente el Saz, Argete, and others, offering to those who would enlist in their cause no less than 20 reals a-day, and promising to mount them on horses which they expected to steal in the above towns, partieuhrly from the people who had visited Molar for the purpose of tak'ng the baths. As soon as the political chief received this information, he never for a moment lost sight of the agents of the plot, and he gave orders that the commandants of the National ➢Militia, and the patriots of the whole province, should watch the steps of the factious, and hold themselves in readiness to attack them if they should in any way have succeeded in carrying their plot into execution. From this moment a correspondence was established at every point, by, which means ,the political chief received daily and hourly information of whatever could contribute to the con firmation of the fact. Of this fact complete proof was obtained on the . 2sth ; and such were the arrangements which had been made,,that even had the factious party succeeded' in organizing itself, the news of its existence and destruction would have reached Madrid at one and the same moment. On the 24th, at half-past eleven .at night, the chief of the conspirators was arrested at Alcobendas, in company with a servant, both mounted and well armed, being on their way from Salamanca to Fuencarral. The Political Chief, there fore, after having given the necessary orders for drawing up the verbal process, and for the safe keeping and separation of the prisoners, conceived that his presence would be necessary' in Fuencarral to verify in person the suspicions which had arisen out of the arrest made at Alcobendas. Accordingly, that very night, a column marched from the last mentioned place. consisting of a party of the active militia of Toledo, a detachment of the gallant regiment of Almanza, and 150 men ' of the brave militia of this heroic capital. The Political Chief arrived at Fuencarral almost at the same time with the troop, and in the suspected house which was found open and forsaken, he discovered proofs sufficient to convince him that his suspicions were not unfounded. Nei thet arms nor papers were discovered, as was reported at Ma drid, but an open trunk was found out of which the clothes had been hastily emptied and thrown on the floor, doubtless for the purpose of , securing papers, money, and other things, which the individuals who inhabited the house of course car ried away with them. The Political Chief immediately gave orders for the assem bling. of the Ayuntamiento, in order to render himself ac quainted with the state of the public administration and the spirit of the corporation, and he found with regret, that in a town only two leagues from the capital, the'national local 'militia ' was not, organized, and the decrees' of the Cortes neither known nor understood : the monks of the suppressed convent of Val verde being permitted to remain in that town, and not hav ing proceeded to the places assigned to them. The Political Chief likewise visited the primary school, and observed that ' the master had . totally abandoned the teaching of the Consti tution, and that the Ayuntamiento had adopted no measures to enforce the fulfilment of this injunction. The Chief repri-' manded the -Ayuntamiento for this neglect, and gave orders for the parchase \of political catechisms for the instruction of the children, who gratefully burst forth in an unanimous ex -1 demotion of Viva la Constitution ! being the first time that the cry had been uttered by these innocent creatures, who are in all respects worthy to be instructed in the principles of the fundamental law which will one day render them happy. The Political Chief, who might have severely punished the culpable neglect of the Ayuntamiento'of Fuencarral, merely informed them of what they had to expect unless they changed their line of . conduct, and contented himself with ordering the . Individuals of the three Ayuntamientos, which have existed since the year 20, to pay out of their own purse two days of the extra allo . „-ance of the troops, to the amount .of five reals per day each man.—From Fuencarral the Poltical Chief proceeded to Alcobendas, where he found the people , enthusiastic for liberty and the sacred code of their rights.— The inhabitants of all ranks came out of the town to meet the column, and mingling with its files, arrived at the garrison, chanting hymns to liberty. The Chief immediately convoked the Ayuntamiento, and with the utmost satisfaction observed the excellent state of its, municipal government. The brilliant national militia of infantry'and cavalry earnestly entreated that the Political Chief would permit them to attend him in his ex pedition, and in order to eomply in some measure with this re quest, he consented that the cavalry should accompany him, thanking the infantry for their zeal, and representing to them the urgent necessity for keeping the prisoners under strong custody. The column was received 'with the like. demonstrations of pAriotism.at San Sebastian do los Reyes, whose national mi litia, both infantry and cavalry, presented themselves to offer their services. Wh2n the column reached Fuente el. Baz it was received 'by the Ayuniamiento with the same demonstrations as in Al cobendas : the brilliant national militia of both arms came out to meet the Political Chief, to whom they offered their services ' • and accompanied him to the garrison, where they shouted fervent and repeated vivas to the constitution. That same morning the bravo national cavalry militia of Argete ar rived at Fuente el Saz, and in the evening the militia of Valde torres also arrived. All these valiant troops manifested to the Political Chief their ardent wish of contributing their efforts to exterminate the-cnemies . of their country, declaring their'reacli ness to abandon their work and the comfort of their homes, and accompany the column whithersoever the Chief should com mand. The object 'of the expedition being fulfilled, and the end which the Political Chief had in view having been attained, he determined to return to the capital, having previously expressed his gratitude to the valiant troops who accompanied him, in the following terms : " Fuente el Sac, Aug. 28. " ORDER or T E ! We have attairted the chief object of our short expedition: we have preserved that tran quillity and order which some evil-disposed persons wished to overthrow in various towns of this province ; and we have ob tained other advantages favourabl:, to the liberties of the country, and the advancement of , the constitutional system by which we are happily governed, which, though they are not now ob vious, are not the less real. You have performed an important service to the nation in general, and to this province in particu lar ; and you may retire to your homes with the certainty Of having fulfilled your duties to my satisfaction and that of the people who have witnessed your zeal, discipline, and enthu siasm for the political constitution of the Monarchy, fur which you now receive the thanks of your Political Chief, " JUAN PALAREA." This simple statement more and more proves the truth of what we alleged at the outset—namely, that the adroitness and activity of a political chief, if exerted in due time, are suffi cient to defeat any plot, however hidden and complicated, that may be formed against the system. The authors of these manoeuvres will stop. when they find that their plans are dis covered ; the imprudent individuals whom they are constantly endeavouring to seduce, by painting to them the facility of success, will cease to put confidence in their promises when they learn that precautions are beforehand adopted for securing the punishment of rebels; and the presence of power will animate the indifferent, impart courage to the weak, and diffuse through all classes of people that salutary confidence in the Government which is the main support of public spirit. By this means faction will ,be avoided, and crimes will be pre vente&before we arrive at the painful necessity of punishing them. The Political Chief who thus banishes the spirit of faction from his province, renders an important service to the country ; for in civil war it is more glorious to avoid bloodshed than to gain a brilliant victory over enemies, who, after all, arc our brethren.—( El Universal.) The Espectador of the 3d instant also contains an article on this subject, but it furnishes no particulars in addition to those stated above. General Torrijos has found it necessary to retire to Lerida, in consequence of all the forces of the Insurgents of Catalonia having assembled to the assistance of those whom he kept blockaded in the Convent of San Ramon de la Manresana ; it is not, however, true that he has suffered any loss, as was yesterday reported, for he had no action with the enemy. SEPTEMBER G. A courier, who arrived last night at tile Russian Ambassador's at this Court, had been plundered on the road by some insur gents or robbers, who stripped him of letters, money, and every thing that he brought. This proves that the intercepting of correspondence is not the result of a regular plan laid down by the enemies of liberty, but a system of plunder without any re spect to nation or party. WTe have been assured, from a quarter on which we can rely, that the Portuguese Minister, resident in Madrid, directed a note some days hack • to our Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, proposing to enter into negociations in order to form an alliance offensive and defensive, between Spain and Portugal ; but our authority adds, that this note was returned to the Por tuguese agent on account of its containing certain expressions We have received the Paris Journals of Satur day, from which we give extracts in our preced ing columns. The accounts from Corfu, of August 11, com pletely confirm the gratifying fact that important advantages were gained by the Greeks at Ther mopylae. It seems to be evident that the Austrian Observer, which alone published contrary ac counts, purposely suppressed intelligence which must have been in its possession, in order that the affairs of Greece might be represented as un favourably as possible. The Corfu accounts state the army of CHOURSCIIID PACHA to have amounted to forty thousand men. On the twen tieth of July, he entered the defile, and was not obstructed by the Greeks until he had pene trated so far as to be involved in inextricable peril. In a moment, however, he was at tacked by General NICETAS both in front and on his right flank, while a column of Greeks, commanded by CONTOYANNE, de bouched by the heights on the side of Molos, and broke through and divided the ranks of the enemy. After a long and bloody contest, the column of the Turks which was entangled in the defile, surrendered, while the rest of the army sought safety in flight. CIIOURSCHID, in his flight, took the road through the defiles of Trachia, where he lost three-fourths of the remainder of his troops, and finally reached Larissa with only three thousand men, The column of 12,000 Turks, which had, passed through the moun tains, is stated in the Corfu accounts to have been also destroyed ; and thus the most formidable enterprise which has yet been undertaken against the Greeks, has been completely relative to the affairs of Montevideo, and other things which were considered offensive to the national dignity. If this be tr 4 2, we are of opinion that the reasons which in duced our Minister to return the note must have been of the weightiest nature, as their importance alone could justify such a step, considering the present circumstances of the two nations, and the enlightened patriotism of Don Evaristo San Miguel. We certainly think that, under the critical circumstances which the present state of Etirope presents, it would be proper to sacrifice to the principal and most interesting object every con sideration of minor importance and' all diplomatic etiquette. Whatever discussions may at present exist between Spain and Portugal should be reserved for periods of greater tranquillity ; , and then, whatever seeds of discord may have been planted between two people of whom nature and the conformity of their institutions have conspired to form one great family, would be dissipated by means of compacts and amicable ar rangements. We are therefore persuaded, that if the fate of this note has been such as we have been informed, that the Minister, with that noble spirit of liberality which characterizes enlightened officers, will , remove every obstacle which may retard the course of this urgent negociation, which the present serious aspect of affairs and the wishes of every lover of liberty earnestly require. —( El Universal.) The national ship San Pablo has arrived at Barcelona with two millions of reals, and troops belonging to the light bat talion of the Canaries. • By accounts from Vich we learn that the Canon Coraus, and Mossen Pedro Palau, porter to the Chapter, have been arrested. The Bishop is closely 'guarded in his Palace. The town of San Felice du Guixolls was attacked on the 21st of August by the party of Mossen Anton. The banditti com mitted the greatest atrocities, not merely on the Liberales, but also on a great number of Priests and Serviles, who used to be passionate admirers of the Army of the Faith.
