On the 14th, the enemy tatlvanted with all his
forcer, bringing with him • cousidt ruble park of artillery.
At fist he parched on Seta Mae Ina, bat after attain
several useless attackable this position, be marched to &e-
-lude. He &Mated It three times suit was three times re-
pglard with cuerttderaitle loss. • His cavalry, winch supported
the principal attacks, suffered much more than his tufautry.
Ai midnight the troupe which occupied !Heinle effected

their janetion with Odys:etta at Santa Huhu. 'The enemy,
I who ebouebt them dispersed, marched towards 'hie town the
eassi•g day. A continued cannonade, well kept up hat
badly directed, did no harm; then be advanced to the en-
trenetmeents, which he thought were defended by only a
small number of men. After three discharges the Greek's at-
tacked him sword in baud ; lie beat a retreat, and was por-
tiere' nearly to the gates of Zeituntai.
These operation. were suspended for a few days by anoth^r
circumstance. Hassan Packs, drunk with the blood of the
peaceable peasants whom be hail murdered in Macedonia, in
the environs of ?ironing., bail advanced on Thetasly, at the
head of 10,000 men. Proud of his massacre, he thoratened
to truss the mountains and defiles, to rejoin the army of
ionsaunf, at Paves. On April 2i, he penetrated to Agrepha.
Stergius, shu commanded there, profiting by his confidence,
feigned a retreat. After drawing him into the most dial, oft
situations, be attacked him suddenly. Tie carnage was

which another Tot lush army had uccomt .1 fur some time.
Afterwards the Agraphistes mirrored on Charlie, a chitin
of moutitailis which connects Pontius with Olympus, united
with Stournatie, who commands m this county; they at-
tacked on May ?5, at Kremlin, the Turkish advanced guard,
and rusted it. On the nth they marched on Rattail The
combat which ensued there was bloody, and for a long time
doubtful. At length the enemy, ha d on his flanks, look
to fight iis great disorder. abandoned his camp, his prowl-
pions, Ste. He reached Truccala, which he evacuated two
days afterwards to rent► to Lingle.
At noon, on the nil of May, the Turks in Cleopatra aban-
doned the town, from being violently attacked; they passed

The English Parliament has just renewed the Alien

at noon, and in the presence of the whole gar-
rison under arms, and of the protiounial battalion
composed of the guards who remuined faithful to
the Constitution. He was first publicly degraded,
then strangled according to the Spanish custom on
a stool fixed on the scaffold, and by means of a
-.crew which renders death instantaneous. His right
hand was afterwards cat off, pursuant to the terms
of his sentence. He made an•attempt to addresi

LONDON.
FRIDAY, AVODST 16, 1822.

Lord Wit., lAst BENTltrcc strived in town yes-
terday from Brussels, where he left the Duke of
Witt.t.t NOTON in gnod health.

The Journal de Belgique, the Oracle, and the
Journal de Brussels, of the *oth, Ilth, 14th, end
13111 of August, and the Journal de Gand of the
11th to the 14th inclusive, ►eceived lest night, make
no mention whatever of his Grace.

IVe are happy to have it thus in our power to
confirm the impression which we avowed yesterday,
concerning the rumour that prevailed of the Duke of
WELLINGTON'S death. There was no foundation
for the assertion of his having been ammoniated by
the son of the late Marshal NET, nor can we un-
derstand that any violence or insult has been offered
to the Gallant Duke by any person whatever. We
endeavoured yesterday to account in some degree
for the existence of extravagant rumours, by refer-
rag to the high state of excrement which has hero
caused in the public mind by the death of Lord
LONDONDERRY ; but it is probable that this par-
ticular report originated in the Stuck Exchange, to
promote some purpose of speculation. The trick,
however, if it were of this nature, did not succeed,
fur Consols have 'hewn a tendency rather towards
improvement than otherwise.

There are some who think that tht Foreign De-
partment might be intrusted with considerable ad-
vantage to the Duke of WELLINGTON, on account
not only of the personal kiioaledge which he pos.
sews of the sevesul Potentates of Europe, and of
their principal Ministers, but also in consequence
of the particular attention which he has of lute years
been compelled to devote to the genet's' politics of
Europe. The Noble Duke has been himself for
some years one of the main springs of action in
the great machinery cf national interciturse through.
out Europe, sod must therefore be presumed
to appreciate accurately the principles which
continue to influence the several Cabinets. To
such an ivrangemeot it is no objection that the
Duke is a Member of the House of Lords, and
that the convenience of the public service might re-
quire the rest-nee of the Secretary for Foreign
Affairs in the House of Commons. The Secretary
for Foreign Affairs has frequently been • Member
of the Upper House, and all the information which
the Members of the House of Commons might oc-
casionally require could be as advantageously ob-
tained from soy other of the Priticipal Secretaries
of State, or from an Under-Secretary of the de-
partment, b.i g a Member of ilie House of Com.
mons. The Duke of WELLINGTON is not an
expert speaker, but his deficiency in this respect
would be perceived the less from the circumstance
of his bring a Member of that House where no
time is wasted in tedious and fruitless debates.

The accounts which reach us throu4ll the French
and Germair Papers from the East begin to a►sume
an appearance of consistency and probability, and
to bear something mum of an authentic character
than has hitherto belonged to them. It is highly
grateful to our feelings to accompany this ob-
servation with the expression of our sincere belief
that the cause of freedom in Greece is decid-
edly aed gloriously triumphant. We see little
mourn to doubt thst the Grecian Senate possesses
the force and order of a regular Goverrinieuo, that
as such it successfully claims the obedience of the
greater part of Greece, and that it controls the
movements of an armed body, respectable in or-
ganization and numbers. A Proclamation, ad-
dressrd by the Senate to the Greeks, will be found
in another part of this Paper, which announces with
confidence the progress of Grecian triumph. The
army of the Morea no longer confines its operations to
the limits of the Peninsula, but has advanced upon
Epirus and Thessaly in the character of libera.ors
■ud avengers. Offensive operations commenced in
Thessaly on the 12th of April, and we find an
indisputable proof at the same time of the naval
superiority of the Greeks, in the circumstance or
their being enabled to transport a column of
their armies by sea to the scene of action. From
the first day of their advance upon Thessaly, there
seems to have been an •boost incessant corrflir t
between the Greeks and their great enemy. HAS-
SAN PACIIA, Mho wt.. at the head of 10,000 Mos-
anion:ins. Success is claimed in every action by
the Greeks, and the general correctors, of the
narrative of their proceedings is best proved by
the eventuul evacuation of the %thole province
of Thessaly by the Turkish birharirms, about
the beginning of last June. The Address of the
Greek Sence is an animating panegyric upon
their conduct, in redeeming the hand of their
fathers from the pollution of the barbarian., and a
strong tzhortatioti to perseverance.

Earl BATHURST nrrived in town on Wednesday,
from his seat ut Cirencester, in Gloucestershire, aid
had in interview with the Earl of LtvenrooL, mid
also another yesterday. Yesterday Lard GRAN.
VILLE had no interviaw with Earl BATHURST at the
Colonial Office.

The chianti/gement of public business whicb

the Marquis of LONDONDERRY'S death has created,
is very considerable. It is the etiquette of the
Cabinet, that in the absence of one Secretary of
State, his duty is performed by some other Secretary
of State. Thus, last year, during the KING'S visit to
Ireland, Lord BATHURST acted for both Lord SID-
MOUTH and di? Marquis of LONDONDERRY; and it
was arranged before Mr. PEEL, lately left town for
Scotland, that during his absence the Marquis of
LONDONDERRY should officiate fur him. This
his Lordship accordingly did, even when he was
last in town on Friday ; but in consequence of the
sudden demise of his Lordship, the business of his
office has nnw devolved upon Eat BaTituttsT,
along with that of the office of Mr. KEEL. Ve
thus have now the cfßee4 of the three Secretaries
performed by imc—trio juncla in ano.

The 14 truck A ry.burssador, Baroo FAGEL (the
A inbassatfor from the Netherlands), and most of the
Foreign Ambassadors and tL misters, have transacted
business at the Foreign Office. within these few
dais, since the death of the Marquis of LONDON-
DERRY.

No step will probably be taken towards the sp.
priiirtment of a successor in the Foreign-office to
the late Marquis of LONDONDERRY Until the
return of the KING from Scotland. It will be
difficult to find a Minister equally skilled iu
the management of the Flotise of Commons,
and possessing equal influence over it. Hut
tor the real interests of the country, its friends,
however they may himent the malt, have no reason
to despair. The egase of liberty will not suffer
from the logs of a Statesman, however• mintnt,
who viewed the contest hetnkeeir the Greeks and
Turks anti culd and placed the op-
pressor and the oppressed upon the same level.
A letter has been received from ItioJaneiro, dated
June 2, which states, that the Cortes had as-
ecrubled, and the PRANCE had awiumed the title of
Emperor of BRAZIL. Two frigates were about to
