FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. PARIS, DEC. 24.—The health of Marshal.Da '.oust, which, during several days, has given cause of serious alarm, is greatly ameliorated, mid it is to-day thought that he is out of danger. We learn with much satisfaction, that the Marquis de Lally Tolendal is better. His agent in Paris has received a letter, in the Noble Peer's own hand-writing, dated Bordeaux the 19th, accompanied with a few, words from his physi • tian, which announce that after suffering several violent fits of fever, the Marquis is now able to leave his bed. TRIESTE, DEC. 18.—We receive from a quarters confirmation of the destruction of the Capitan Pacha off Tenedos. The two Captains who executed the daring enter prise are named Pipines and Miraulcy. Only ten of the Turkish commanders saved their lives, they having been almost all of them on board the Admiral's ship, with which they were blown up. The English seem wholly to have changed their policy. They no longer persecute the Greeks. —At Argos, an English deputy has even given a grand entertainment to the members of the. Goverment. Marquis Paulucci, who has return ed from Smyrna, is under quarantine here ; and - Lord Strangford will soon set out for Corfu. VIENNA, DEC. 12.—1 t was immediately after ;the drawing up of the declarations to be pre sented to the Ottoman Government, that• Lord Strangford, who is intrusted by the Sovereigns with this mission, left our city to proceed directly for Trieste, there to embark for Corfu ; but dispatches from Vienna, sent by Baron Stunner to Prince Metternich, having arrived afterwards, an express was immediately dispatched to Trieste with letters to Lord Strangford, requesting him to suspend his departure till he should receive fresh instructions, founded on the .dispatches which had been received from Vienna, and which confirmed the account of the revolution in the Turkish Ministry. It is feared, however, that' the• messenger may not have found his Lordship at Trieste, as itis probable that he had embarked for Corfu. Count Stadion entered into some negotiations for a new loan, and the preliminaries were dis cussed six months ago, but nothing was con cluded, and the loan was not deemed then to be absolutely necessary. Some months afterwards the negotiation was renewed, but without any thing being arranged. However, about the middle of November, new overtures were made, and the loan was agreed upon with Messrs. Rothschild and other bankers. By it the me tallies are to be received at 83. It is for 18 mil.' lions, but may be raised to 30 millions. Only those who are concerned in the negotiation know the real motives of this new loan. It is generally attributed to .political causes. A simple deficit in therrevenue could not have occasioned it. SPAIN. BAyoNNE,Dec.49.—Within forty-eight hours - seven couriers have passed through this city to and from Madrid. The news from the frontiers referring to the courier sent by the Spanish Ambassador at Paris, state positively that peace between France and Spain mill not be • interrupted. This is confirmed by the accounts . from Paris. The effects of this news are already felt here, and vessels are fittjne - , out with all possible expedition for the cod fishery, the equipment of which had been suspended. The reports of peace,which become daily more positive, :form a singular contrast With the recent arrival of a (lOzen vessels laden with military stores which have just been landed. Our fanatics—for the number is considerable, and the innumerable emi grants of the party of the Faith who placed their hopes on the entrance of a foreign army ipto Spain—are quite disappointed, and disapprove of • the pacific intentions of the beneficent govern ment of the King. It may "be imagined what el . - ' feet this news has on the soldiers of O'Donnel, who have been hitherto patient in hopes of ;being supported by the Holy Alliance, for these ~ p romises are held out by the agents of this ex piring faction in all their proclamations, bul letins, &c. In consequence of the dispersion of -the bands in the three" provinces, parties of fugi tives of , fifteen, twenty, or thirty ,men arrive daily, who go to Irati to resume offensive ope rations. But how great is their surprise at meeting with their brethren in arms, who fly into France on this side, and abandon the banners of their General in Chief, who for these two months past has not ventured to quit the Roncal,and who sees his cause ruined by the news of peace, by the exasperation of the people of Navarre, who have applied to Torrijos for arms, and by the fa vourab!e result expected from the operations of the latter after the 21st, when the amnesty expires ? The report that has been spread or the arrival of the Junta of Urgel at Bayonne, has produced a bad effect. The'fact is that nobody has arrived but Gen. Laguna and some other agents, who had gone to seek their fortunes at Urgel, and who have pro pagated the news of the installation of the Junta in this country, which is not much credited.- . -- Since an English courier has passed through here on his way from London to Madrid, a report has been spread that a treaty of commerce be tween England and Spain has been concluded, and that England will afford the assistance that Spain requires to clear the north-east provinces from the bands that infest them, to re-establish the customs and prohibitory system on the frontiers of France, and establish tranquillity, notwithstanding the protection which the De fenders of the Faith may find in France. English manufactures will be received into Spain on pay ment of a duty of 15 per cent. It is also said that several English vessels laden with merchandise will shortly arrive at Bilboa and St.Andero ; and it is positively affirmed that the intercourse be tween the first port and England will be so con stant that it is intended to establish a communi cation by packet boats. Travellers from the Pe ninsula say that Merino, with SO horse and 150 foot, entered Reynosa on the 11th, and committed great atrocities. Ile shot three or four of the richest inhabitants of the town, well known for their attachment to the Constitution he also disarmed the national guard, ill-treated several persons, and raised a heavy contribution. Two Constitntional..columns are in pursuit of this rob ber, who will probably 'end his career like Zal divar. News from Madrid of the lth, positive ly affirm that a commercial treaty is concluded be tween England and Sp ain.—(Bayonne Papers.) [From the Paris Journals of Tuesday.] The Baron d'Eroles has not quitted Toulouse. He is the object of general interest. He has had several conferences with the President of the Regency, who receives frequent dispatches from the frontier. The time of the•departure of this bra-ve general is not known. The following letter,- addresed to the Editor of the Journal de Toulouse, makes known the flillowing sequel of the military operations in Catalonia. It is dated from the environs of Puycerda, Dec. 14. : " My letter of the 11th inform you of the military opera tions which had taken place before Seo, on the 9th and 10th, down to three o'clock in the afternoon ; at whirl} hour Roma gosa was forced to abandon the position he occupied at the Font del Nape, and to retire within the fort. " I have now to announce to you, that two hours after the entrance of Romagosa, the Constitutionalists again put them. selves in motion, and made preparations for attacking the cita del. A column even approached very near a tower which is called La Lengua de Serp. •It was by this tower that the Royalists entered the citadel last June. This column, upon whom a heavy fire was opened, was forced to retire, after hav ing sustained a loss of 30 oil 40 men. " The 11th, at day-break, all the , troops in the neighbour hood_ of the fort were on foot : the same movements, the same evolutions took place, as on the preceding evening. The garrison made some sorties during the morning, at no great distance from the fort ; that which took place in the afternoon, at Arabel, about three-quarters of a league distant, on the road to PailhoS, was attended with success : the Royalists captured 15 mules laden with flour._ `4 Notwithstanding the balls, the bombs, and the grenades thrown from time to time into the town, Mina has caused it to be occupied by a part of his troops. A Communal Junta is formed, of which a native of the country is President. This man, who commanded the militia of the Seo, was taken in June • last in the fort by the Royalists, and conveyed to Esterry, where he remained until he was carried into France. Within these few clays four individuals of the poorer class were shot for favouring and assisting the Royalists while they remained at the Seo. I confine myself for the moment to the news which I send you ; all the others are mere idle rumours. Sort is occu pied by the Constitutionalists." " N. B. The Baron d'Eroles was to arrive yesterday in your city. On the Bth he quitted Bourg to proceed to the valley of Aran, and thence to Toulouse, where it is believed he will not remain long. A French officer, whose name has not been men tioned to me , commands in his absence th e cor p s w hi c h h e was organiiing."2--(Journ.al de Paris.) A letter from Ax of the 15th inst. contains the following important intelligence :—. " I announced in my last, that Mina missed his object at the out-set, and that he was consequently in an 'unfavourable position. 111 y infon.iation was correct; and the new check which "he has just received will contribute not a little to augment his embarrassments." Last Tuesday, the-10th instant, Mina made his dispositions for enabling the division which blockaded Seo to commence the assault. He di rected the attack upon the weakest point ; on the side of Ferrers. Romagosa, looking at his move ments like a skilful tactician, gave precise orders to let the Constitutionalists approach within range of the cannon 'on the ramparts, and almost to their very foot ; when immediately a dreadful fire of artillery spread death and terror among the ranks of the assailants ; 500 of the enemy,re rnained dead upon the field of battle, without counting a considerable number of wounded. The conflict lasted during the whole of the 10th, and the cannon continued to be heard even on the 1 lth. The rout of Mina's division was most complete ; and his retreat was upon Arta and Beluer. It is said that Mina himself has taken refuge in this latter village, 'situated in the basin of Spanish Cerdagne. On the 12th, Romagosa, at the head of about 1,000 men, made a vigorous sortie and pursued the 'Constitutionalists to Pla. He took from them 16 loads of flour, four of brandy, and two of oil : mules, carriages, &c., all fell into his hands. This lucky news singularly disconcerted the Liberals, and restored the hopes of the Royalists. Mina ought to be called Grand Pur veyor of Seo. His position, as I have already told you, is now much ,worse than it was, and hardly tenable ; and for this season—Mosen An ton is at Organia with 1,500 men ; Mirailhes, with a division of 800 or 900 men on his right, maintains a position in a small village two leagues from the quarters of -General Mina. If, as is confidently said, a division of 1,200 or 1,500 Royalists is at Labourcy, there remains no other path open to Mina but by Spanish Cerdagne, and it is to be presumed that he would be harrassed in the rear, and that he could not throw himself into the plain either by Ripol or Olot, because he would be opposed by the brave Royalist divisions of I'leyres, Mizas, and Malavella. Mina, how ever, it is said, has declared that in spite of this first defeat, he is determined to take Seo by as sault, at whatever loss, even though it should cost him his whole army. Should he again at tempt it, there is little doubt be would sustain a heavy loss.--(L'Etoile.) A letter from Bayonne of the 15th December says—" An individual who left Madrid eight days ago, assures us that every proposition for modifying the Constitution of 1812 will be re jected. The Landaburian club, in imitation of the Jacobins, will soon lead both the Govern meat and the Cortes." During the last three days, vessels have ,entered this port, laden ' with munitions of war: many others are expected. The Zurriago enumerates the shades which discriminate the friends of the Constitution; they are thus classed : 1. The onnillerns, or members of the society of the ring, who are, it is said, federalists; 2. The pastekros, or pl:etendientes, who are cordeliers; 3. The conitnuneros, or the pure patriots, that is to say, the Sainte Montagne.—( L'Etoik.) , PORTUGAL. LISBON, DEC. 8. (BY AN EXTRAORDINARY COURIDR.) Among the topics which have most occupied the attention of the Cortes ; is the project of a decree presented by M. Correa de la Cerda to augment the army, which, said the orator, was considerably diminished by the dismissals given to soldie'rs who had served their full time. The orator dwelt upon the military attitude of all the nations of Europe, and especially upon the French army cantoned along the frontiers of Spain,whose vicinity, according to the Spaniards, inspired the factious with the strongest hopes of success, and which were so disposed as to be able to enter Spain at the first moment's notice. We see, added he, a Congress at Verona, of whose deci sions, we are. ignorant ; but the designs of some Governments againt other Governments are well known. Piedmont and Naples are examples held out to Spain. Suppose, said M. Correa, that Spain should be invaded, and that unjust Governments should conceive the mad project of dictating the law to it : could we delay, for an instant, to run to arms, to partake of the struggle—we, to whom it is so important, both as friends and as allies, to see Spain triumphant? I am convinced there is not a single. Portugues - e who would not be im patient to take the field, to preserve the rich in= heritance which expiring despotism has left us. But it is not by wish e s that victories are gained. Our army is reduced ; - I propose, therefore,— 1. That the regiments and battalions of the first lines should be completed to the full strength they had - before 1814, in or der that we may thus supply the deficit, caused by the expe ditions sent to Brazil, and that we may be in a condition to meet whatever circumstances may arise, whether in the Penin sula, or in our transmarine provinces. 2. That every requisite measure be, adopted for the main tenanee.a this army, because every sacrifice should appear light when the object is to consolidate our independence and our welfare. . 3. That the officers and soldiers who had the greatest share in the pblitical regeneration which was accomplished on the 24th of August, and the sth of September', 1820, be rewarded. The projet was admitted for discussion, and referred to a second reading.—(Constitutionnel.) POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BENEFIT SOCIETIES. GUILDHALL.—AIthough it is now generally held that the introduction into the regulations of the Benefit Societies of a clause referring all matters of dispute among the members to arbitration; takes - away the jurisdiction of the Magistrate, ques tions are continually arising which cannot be otherwise decided ,than by an appeal to his authority. No less than three cases of this description came • under the investigation of Sir James Shaw and lllr.Alderman Waitiman, at this office yesterday. In the first case the President and Stewards of the United British Benefit Society, held at the Peacock, Whiteeroes-street, appeared to answer a cla.in - rpreferred against them by Mr. Allen, of Symond's Inn, Gentleman, as the executor of the late Mr. Thomas Kemp, jeweller, of Fetter:lane, deceased. The dis pute between them was confined to the interpretation to be put upon the 19th Article of the Regulations of the Society, which stated that if a, deceased Member had been free for eigh, teen years, and had not received as allowance, for illness or otherwise, more than the sum of five guine-;s, his representa tive should be entitled to eighty guineas ; the allowonce in or dinary cases being only seventy guineas. Mr. Kemp had been a free Member twenty-nine years, and had not within the first eighteen years ofZehe time, received from . the Society so much as five guineas: Had he died then, it was admitted his_ representative would have been entitled to eighty guineas. Sub sequentlyehOivever. he had declared upon the box, and h a d re ceived more than - the limited sum ; and the Society therefore contended, his representative was only entitled to the usual sum of 70 guineas. The President, who was the spokesman upon the occasion, did not offer any arguments to chew that his was the true construction of the clause, but seemed to rest his case upon its being so intended, underitood, and acted upon, in the Society. The Magistrates, however, were decidedly of opinion, that they could not wander in search of what might have been the intention of the Society,•but must look only to the letter of the regulation. If it were the intention of the Society that the sum of 80 guineas should not - be paid to the representative of a member who had, under any circumstances, received more than ,51. from their funds, they should have so provided; but as the clauSe -now stood, the - representative of Mr. Kemp was, in their judgment, entitled to-the full amour tof his claim. • A case Of a very different nature followed. James Lawrence, watchmaker, No. 3, Windmill -street, claimed from the Society of Associated Brethren the sum of 15 guineas, as the next of kin to his - deceased brother Edward. There was, it appears, no intimacy subsiiting hetween the two brothers at th e ti me of Edward's death ; and his mother, with whom he resided, had been at the expence of his funeral; and had attended the' Society with the certificate of his interment, the document upon which the Society . usually- acted, and had, in • conse quence, received the money. As proof of the deceased's in tention, the affidaVit of three of his personal f r i e nd s was put in, who all swore to - having heard Edward say, that his mother was to hive him buried, and to receive this money from the • Society, expressing, at' the same time, his regret that he had nothing more to leave her. The complainant, who appeared to be acting under the guid ance of a shabby lawyer-looking friend, • stood to his claim as next of kin. He had protested against an award of the arbi.. trators who had been :appointed, and whose decision was against him, upon the ground that the award was not made within the time limited - by the articles, and that the Magi• strates alone had now jurisdiction in 'the case. The Aldermen were of a different opinion, and by their advi6e the parties agreed to refer their disputes to a fresh arbi tration. The Secretary of the Society of the Sons of St. Luke applied for summonses against several members, to enforce the payment of arrears due from them. *ln cases where individuals have been expelled from a Society for non-payment of contributions, the Magistrates have held, that they were not liable for arrears, as they would thereby be subject to two descriptions of punish ment; but in the present instance the members had withdrawn themselves, and the Secretary urged, that as they had not been regularly dismissed, they might still claim upon the funds as members, and ought therefore to be compelled to contribute. No discussion upon the subject could however be entered into, as Mr. Secretary had not come prepared to exhibit a regular in formation of the facts, and consequently, to use a le ga l expres sion, took nothing by his motion. CHARGE OF FRAUD. Bow-ST REE T.—Yesterday George Snzith underwent an ex amination before Sir R. LintmE, charged with defrauding Messrs. Roberts, Cock, and Co., silk-mercers, in • Chandos, street, of two pieces of silk, of the value of nine pounds.— , George Garrett, a shopman to Messrs. Roberts and Co. stated that on the 3d inst. the prisoner came to the shop, produced a piece of silk and asked if they had any to match it, but it must be of a richer quality. He went to the back-shop and fetched two pieces which he shewed to the prisoner, who fixed upon one of them, and in a very free and familiar manner said, he would take it, and that he came from Messrs. Hard ing and Co. Pallmall, with whom he lived as shopman. Wit ness replied to the prisoner, that he had not the pleasure of knowing him. The prisoner, expressed considerable surpriSe at that, saying he had'lived there for'several years; he men tioned Davis, a shopman at Messrs. Harding and Co. and other circumstances which 'left no doubt then on his the witness's mind but that he was the Man he represented himself to be, and he agreed _to let the prisoner have the silk. The prisoner saidit was for a lady, who lived in 6ne of the offices in Somerset-place, who was a customer. He was going to take it to her on leaving Messrs. Roberts and Co.'s shop, and asked for the loan of a yard measure to take with him, which lie lent him. The prisoner did not return the silk or pay for it, nor did he return the yard measure; witness ascertained that the prisoner was not sent by Messrs. Harding and Co. - foe the silk, and he did not see any more of the prisoner till 'he met him by chance. Mr. S. Smith, a partner in the house of Messrs. Harding and Co. proved that the prisoner was not sent fer the silk nor was in their employ on the 3d inst. lint was about three years ago.— The prisoner was committed for trial. His MAJESTY, with his accustomed liberality, on a representation of the distressing occurrence, the death of Capt. -MOORE, of the sloop Lord Nelson, sub - scribed the sum of fifty guineas for the benefit of his unfortunate family. GREECI'. The Austrian. Observer and some other Jour nals have frequently predicted, the annihilation of Greece, and recorded the glorious trophies of the Mussulmans. They followed, with inex pressible pleasure; the traced' of devastation that marked the passage of the Asiatic hordes des tined to quench in blood• the flames of insurrec tion, and to raise again, on the smoking ruins of Athens, of Corinth, and of Argos, the standard of oppression and barbarism.. Even after the massacres of Constantinople and Smyrna, nay, after the horrible catastrophe of Scio, the Aus trian Observer lauded the clemency and humanity of the Turks. All those who deplored the mis fortunes of Greece, who endeavoured to procure them defenders among the Powers of Europe, were treated as Revolutionists and Carbonari ; and, what posterity will scarcely credit; the in terest excited by the heroism of a Christian people contending for its religion and : its liberty,., is al most become a title of proscription !! . •, Greece, 'however, abandoned by the West,. Greece left to her own exertions, has falsified the prophecies of the Austrian Observer and her other enemies ; she has defeated the hopes of the Turks, and their faithful friends. The Greek nation still exists ; it exists full of courage and energy ; the pride of the Crescent has been humbled by the triumphant emblem . of Chris, tianity ; Turkish ships in flames, and Mussul man armies flying in every direction ; suchis ! the " spectacle now exhibited in the classic regions where Sophocles lived, and Leonidas died. How was it possible to mistake the causes of so general an enth,usiasm, so noble a devotion, and to attribute to dark intrigues tire voluntary and sublime rising of a whole .people,: tired of infamy and slavery, and seizing again - by force, that independence which force alone had taken from them? and what. social compact could sub sist. between v. nation doomed to slavery, de ! spoiled of the legitimate rights of humanity, and its barbarous oppressors The real causes of the general insurrection of the Greeks are ably point ed out in a work recently published at • Paris, under the title of ", Ilistoire des eviwemens de la Greve;" &c. the author of which, M. Raffenel, was a long time attached to one of the French Consulates in the Levant, and was an eye-witness of the facts recounted by him, and whose veracity cannot be called in question. The great interest first shown for the cause of the Greeks, says M. ll:aft - end, was truly noble and legitimate : it sprung from a Profound sentiment of gratitude, strengthened by the Most lively compassion. Formed in the school of their ances tors, could we remain insensible to the misfortunes of their de scendants ? Every thing brought to recollection our sacrel obli gations ; the arts, sciences, and letters, all gifts of ancient Greece, ought they not to excite our solicitude in favour of modern Greece ? Too long have we been fated to deplore its misfortunes. I have seen, I'have known this unfortunate people when they were •groaning under the weight of oppression ; I have passed through their deserted towns, and my heart was overcome by irrepressible grief. Amid the eloquent relics of antiquity, under the august shades of the Parthenon, of that Temple dedicated to the tutelar Goddessof Athens, I have seen Greeks die beneath the blows of the barbarians; and that venerable ruin, the silent depositary of so much glory, while the city of Minerva still held the sovereignty, seemed itself to share-the shame of its decline. Near the majestic statues on which the chisels of Phidias and Praxiteles had recorded the high deeds of their times, my eyes beheld with grief the miserable hovels in which vegetated, in cowardly degradation, the servile posterity of heroes. Among the causes which produced the Greek nsurrection,and which are enumerated by the au lior, is the increase of trad e i n th e i s l an d s o f the Archipelago. During the long wars which follow ed the French - revolution, the trade, denominated le caravane, carried on by France, fell entirely into the hands of the Greeks. They sent to sea under the protection of the English, a multitude of vessels, and their adventurous spirit increasing with their wealth, they entered into large com mercial speculations with the most fortunate suc cess. Vessels without number were launched from the dock-yards of Hydra, Ipsara, and Spezzia. With the extension of commerce, the want of instruction was felt, and the light of knowledge soon began to spread among the rich classes of society. Public schools were instituted, and fre quent communications with civilized Europe aug mented gradually their stock of useful know ledge, and rendered more irksome and onerous the chains of barbarism. An event, which at the time caused a great sensation, had already inspired the Greeks with the desire for and hopes of liberty. I allude to the alliance which the Empress Catherine entered into with them.— Their first attempts were unfortunate; the period marked out for their deliverance by Providenc'e had not then arrived ; and Russia, after having seduced, the Greeks to insurrection, abandoned them to the implacable rage of the Divan. They expiated in various forms of death and torture their love of liberty; and the yoke of oppression weighed more heavily on them ; but this noble sentiment, which lived in their hearts, resisted the cruelty of their tormentors, and only waited a favourable occasion to burst forth with renewed energy. Noiwithstanding the base desertion of Russia, the Greeks still looked towards that Empire with hope. There is no doubt but the imme diate cause of the Greek Revolution was the mis understanding which existed between Turkey and Russia. When the standard of insurrection was raised, the Greeks fully 'expected that the successor of Catherine would grant them his as sistance. EVery thing, at the commencement, observes M. Raffenel, concurred to strengthen this opinion ; a Russian General was sent among them.; the Russian Consuls in the Ottoman Em- pire were chosen from among their brothers in religion, their countrymen : and the Ambassador himself, M. de Strogonoil; warm)) , espoused their cause at Constantinople. These surely were enough to encourage strcnag hopes ;• more especially when they possessed in the Ministry of St. Petershurgh an all powerful friend, the confidant of the Monarch, M. Capo d'lstrias. According to this statement, justice would seem to demand that Russia should, by her in tervention, effect the deliverance of Greece 1 policy has decided it otherwise. The fate of the Greeks was c on fid e d t o negociations, the leng th and numerous v i c i ss it u d es. o f w hi c h gave the Divan time to prosecute its plan. of extertninatini a whole Christian nation ; " proscriptions W massacres recommensed ;. and, but for the mg' nanimous resistance of the liellenians, modern Greece would have found its grave under it s ancient ruins. The recital of personal combats, sieges, 0( battles in which th e G ree k s di splayed so nnicli' 1 intelligence, courage, and intrepidity, excite $ lively interest, which is still further en lianci ed by the tal en t s o f the historian, and th e places theniselves where those events occurred . The names of Marathon, Theemopylm, platce3l and ,Salamis, undistinguished by deeds o f 0 0 11 .for many centuries past, have just obtained fresh honours; it is the genius of Greece, which frail the summit of the Parthenon, calls to her come° defence the descendants of Niltiades, of Aria' tides, of Epaminondas ; it is liberty again tha t contends against the despotism of Asia; it i g also on, the waves which bathe the shores of At' tica that the first shouts of victory have a gain resounded. And to finish this parallel, a heroine/ worthy of the best times of antiquity, the bare pid and generous Bolbina, had valiantly fought ,among its warriors. Gifted with a noble character, says M. Rafrenel, this IsaY belongs to one of the first families of Spezzia. Her husband had been torn from her arms by order of the tyrant of Constar' tinople, and, undg false pretences, was put to death. Th''' cruel act plunged her into the deepest grief, and inspired lief with an implacable hatred against tyranny. A widow and' mother, and possessed of a large fortune,' for nine years she de plored her irreparable loss. The revolution that broke out 1 0 to her the signal of vengeance. She armed and fitted out, °, her own expence, three vessels ; and, Amazon like, she toy her station among the captains of the Greek fleet, determire a to fight with their.. Neither the dangers of war, the perils ° f the sea, nor the fatigues of so hard a service, nothing could daunt her resolution. She assumed in person the command of one of her vessels, and carried on board her sons, who are still very young, and said to them on embarking—." My children• the barbarians agaira,t whom we are proceeding to fight, mur dered your unfortunate father ; you must with me avenge his death." From this period Bolbina has set her children an example of warlike virtue, and contempt of death. Her n 3. belongs to history and poetry. The heroic scenes to which I imve adverted cannot fail to animate every generous bosom with the strongest interest in the cause of Greece, aoa to inspire the most ardent wishes for its success•. Nom—Since the above was written, details of further sa . • vantages obtained by the Greeks over their oppressors, both bl sea and on land, have been received • and, what i s s till mom inportant, there is rea son to believe that England h as at lengu., granted her powerful aid to their cause.
