NEWS FROM GREECE.

We received another letter from our correspondent et Leghorn,
dated August I. We publish it without warranting its contents.
The capture of Ibrahim Pacha has been confirmed tiy Captain
Andre Thomas Ragusin, commanding the Austrian commercial
brig called La Soegliatore, coming from Constantinople, who a,.
rived on the 30th July in this port, and was boarded on the 6th
(query, 18th N.S. or 26th), near Hydra, by a Greek man-of-war.
the Captain of which told him that Ibrahim Pacha had been taken
to Hydra. Capt. Couture, commanding the French cotnmereial btig
La COnfiance, front Cyprus, which arrived this morning in the
roads of Leghorn, has also declared that the capture of Ibrahim
Pacha was known at Cyprus it the moment °Wilt departure. But
neither of those Captains could give the particulars of the events
in consequence of which Ibrahim Pacha bas been taken prisoner
by the Greeks.

The Milan Gazette of the Bth of August says, that on the 16th
June, O.S. they observed from the ramparts of Napoli di Romania
a retrograde movement of the Egyptian army. Towards midnight
the Government received the news that Colocotyoni had attacked
the rear of the Egyptians, and killed 300 men. On the 17th the ene-
my was already out of sight of the fortress. On the 20th it was
that Ibraham Pacha had sustained fresh losses, near Tigea. Colo-
cotroni was then at the head of 16,000 men, On the 24th, infor-
mation was received that the Egyptians had sustained a new defeat,
at Phloros, and that he was surrounded in the defiles, so that it will
be difficult fur hint to get back to the coast of illesaenia. General
Roche, who was sent to Greece by the Committee at Paris, to ob-
tain information respecting the state of affairs, writes from Argus,
of the 2d July, ,Ol .k. Poloponnesus had risen in a Tease, and
that the Egyptian army was annihilated. Never was a popular
movement more terrible and more just, for the life or death of a
population of 400,000 souls was at stake.
PARTS, A no.
The Meniteur of this morning contains the following article.
Yesterday there was a considerable fall in the Three per Cents.
No event, no political apprehension, can have caused it; we do
not even see a financial cause. Those who on the sth of this
month converted their Five per Cents at 102 f. 50e. cannot be forced
now to sell their Three per Cents. at 72f. On the other hand,
those who had converted at the last liquidation colter, which
they possess only by means of reports, can neither be found to sell
them, since the price of the reports is not such as to render the
continuation of the operation onerous. Besides, it would not be till
the epoch of the liquidation, which is yet remote, that the latter
would be under the necessity of sustaining loss so great es that
to which they would seem voluntarily to condemn themselves now.
The sellers, without motive, will therefore soon have disposed of
(Ecoat) the ltents which they part with at so great loss, and the'
stock will then resume the station which the state of the finances,
and the solidity of the credit of France assigns it.

The Dublin Correspondent of Tuesday states, that an ad-
journment to November of the New Roman Catholic As-
sociation will he moied on Saturday; and
.adds, " but we
have been told that they are not determined on resuming
their sittings."—TheAssociation has certainly been a failure,
and its founders must be disappointed at their plan not
having been more successful. If the great body of the
Catholics only knew how much their associations, and the
intemperate harangues and disputes of their leaders, injure
the cause they pretend to advocate, they would give neither
their support.

The anniversary meeting of the Weymouth and Mel-
combe Regis Church Missionary Association, tut -the Sd
inst. was very numerously and respectably attended. The
Rev. George Chamberlain, on being called to the chair,
lopened the business of the day ; he observed, that his former
doubts, respecting the claims of the Church Missionary
Society to public support, were now entirely removed ; and
expressed intich pleasure in knowing, that not less than
1,400 clergymen were at the present atotnent 'enrolled I
among its members. After an excellent report had been
read by Mr. John Harvey, jun. the Secretary, the Rev.
Professor Farish, of the University of Cambridge, addressed
the meeting, and entered into many interesting details of
the Society's operations. The Rev. J. Bailey, Missionary
from Ceylon, then gave his own testimony to the success
which had attended the efforts of Christians in that Island,'
containing a population (done million souls, and enumerated
several instances of real conversion among the natives
which had come under his immediate notice. In conclu-
sion, he read a letter from a converted heathen to himself,
which was strikingly marked with gratitude for the know-
ledge of that Saviour to whom he had been brought. A
liberal collection was made at the door for the purposes of
the institution ; as well as at the churches of Wyke, Rath-
pole, and Preston, after sermons by the Rev. Robert
Phelips, and the Rev. J. L. Jackson, on the two last
Sundays.
