a fore* minifeetirtety esperior. The everlasting
intrigues of the Paellas against each other, are, in
the mean time, highly prejudicial to the interests
of the Porte. hfustapha Etairacter, by his energetic
ieverity, is the only one that has been able to curb
them for some tin•'.

All is gaiet in Egypt, and the eky. of Constanti-
nople receives by sea all sorts of provisions from
that province. On the other hand, the Wahabites
continue in possession of Almost all Arabia, not ex-
cepting the holy cities of Mecca and Medina. The
Pacha of Bagdad has great difficulty to oppose,shv
enterprises which they are planning on the side of
Busserah. As long as the Sublime Porte is at war
with Russia, it will scarcely be possible to adopt vi-
gorous measures against the Wahabites, those dan-
gerous enemies a Islamism.

MUNICH, NOV. 2.
According to intelligence received from the head-
quarters at Halle, the insurgents have requested
the suspension of hostilities, declaring their rea-
diness to lay down their arms, and their inten-
tion to send deputies to the camp of His Ma-
jesty, and of his Imperial Highness the Viceroy
of Italy, to beg pardon, and to assure them of
their submission. lu proof of these dispositions,
the insurgents have evacuated the environs of
Inspruck, restored the communications with the
Scharuitt, offered to re-open those with Italy by
way of the Brenner, and to set at liberty the pri-
soners who are in their power.

We have received intelligeoce from the frontiers
of Tyrol, that Hoffer, the innkeeper, the leader of
the insurgents, voluntarily surrendered himself to
Gen. Wrede, delivered his sword, and offered him-
self as a pledge and hostage for the entire and sin-
cere submission of the Tyrolese.

There was, on this day,another splendid hunting
party. His Majesty was on horseback at eleven
o'clock, and did not return till night.

VILI.ACU, Nov. 3.
At the moment that the post was setting off for
Milan, we received intelligence that the Italian di-
vision, commanded by General Severoli, entered
Lentz, in the Tyrol, yesterday, without the least
Iv"' 14' resistance.

G..neral Tlarhous' division was three leagues dis-
tant from thence, and General Rii,c-t had passed
the mountain, with the intention of acs kin; Sil-
lies.

General Baraguity D'Hallters commands these
troop', under the orders of his Imperial Highness
the Prince Viceroy.
The division of General Broussier passed through
this town, yesterday, for the some destiltation.

Accordiog to the latest intelligence from the
Russian army, Geheral Milloradowich, commanding
the centre, fell in with. on the 15th inst. I:ear Ras•
sew/lA/the advanced guard of the Turk.. A o en-
gagement took place, in which the Turks lost 300
kilted, and 33 prisoners, among whom were it ()th-
em. Their tamp, before Rassewalt, was taken by
storm on the following day.
.The Turks retreated
under the walls of Siliatria, whither they were fol-
lowed by the Russians.

On the 2d of June. the English frigate the Pd.
his, commanded by Captain Ferguson, appeared
off the island of Ithaca. Approaching tho coast,
she hoisted oat all her hosts, and attempted a lend-
ing, for the purpose of distributing the proclama-
tions of Mr. Adair and Mr. Leckie, tending to ex-
cite an insurrection, and to prevail en the inhabi-
tants to massacre the very small number of troops
composing the garrison of that island. A great
part of the inhabitants were that day assembled at
the village of Ana, to celebrate St. Constantine's
day, a circumstance the enemy thought 'favourable
to their enterprise, but which served to frustrate it
the snore completely. On the news of the landing
of the English, the administrator, M. Marino Vega,
addressed the assembled villagers, encouraged
them to arm, and led them to the shore. The ene-
my was repulstd by the lire of musketry. Not yet
disheartened, he appeared successively at all the
points where it is possible to land, but he was every
where received in the same manner. In these dif-
ferent affairs, the English had some men killed and
a great number wounded. Imagining that they
were thus received only because the Inhabitants
were mistaken in regard to their design. they took
away a vessel, the master of which they carried on
board a frigate. A Greek gave him from the Cap.
toile a letter, the contents of which he explained,
directing him to give it to the commanding officer
at tie nearest post, and to bring hack au answer..
A translation of this letter, written in Italian, is
as follows :

If the inhabitaats of Ithaca wish to enjoy the proteetion of
t►e English, they have only to maks prisoners of the few
French who ars upon the island, sod to hoist the flag of the
Republic. The Carteda of t►e English frigate is ready to
afford t►cm every aanstance necessary for the swam of this
enterprise. (Signed) G6ORG Z FERGUSON.

The breve inhabitants of Ithaca replied to these
novertures by tiring upon the twiny wherever he
appeared. The English aceordinglydeported, and
relinquished their design.
