Dervieh l'aelta, Comenander.in-Chief of Romelia, pawed in the
month of July the southern frontier, of Livadia, at the head of art
army of shout 20,000 men. This force was almost entirely com-
posed of Albanian, Chu:niece, Glut:rec. and other tribes. The
number of Turks was inconsiderehle.. The intention of the Pachn
was to advance upon Salons. to move thence to Lepanto, and upon
this important point he was to effect 10 onetion with Omer Vrione,
who wee ordered to march acmes l.tolia, to effect this object. Ater
this junction was effecesl, these tun Office": were to await the ar-
rival of the Egyptian army at Paula. and then commence threr
ulterior operations against the Peloue !ern's. and they were to rent-
bine these operations with these 'of Ibrahim Pacha, sun of the
Viceroy of Egypt. .
Thellreeks were perfectly aware of the plan of the enemy, par-
ticularly through the letters of the Commanders of the Turkish
army to the Pacha of Ei, ypt, intercepted by the Greek Cotscrs.
They were thus in ensiesstei of all the details of the Turkish pans,
teed, consequently, the bete, able to frustrate them.
Upon the 18th July, a cops of 6,000 Albanians, commended by
Alma Pacha. Prwhn Prevista,and Vehi Aga Graveniti, was thrown
forward by DervialtPacha, and attacked, at Ilusonitsa, the advanced
posts of the Greeks. Three attacks, which he led with extreor-
!fiery courage, were completely successful. 'lie carried, in these,
their entrenchments by assault, but a hernia attack Was fatal- to
him. The Greeks, s'ready reinforced by the (;orpe of General
BaphliTal, who hurried to their assistance, routed the Illitssulniane,
and ptulawd them to a considerable distance lie suffered by the
enemy in his Hight, and the battle, which lasted Biz hours,
was heavy in Ste extreme.
On the 2&1 the Turks, to the number of 12,000, advarced t a meet
the Greeks. Ity their great numerical stivriority they were en-
abled to seize upon the position of 31usonitsa, and to advance as
far as Gesell,- Our people continued their retreat' al until General
!leery', who occupied a position in the neighbourhood, came to
their assistance. This reinforcement enabled the Greeks to act
upon the offensive, and by a skilful tuaneauvre they succeeded in
placing the enemy between two fires. In their endeavcurs to ex-
tricate theinselvee from this situation, the Turks suffered severely,
and were pursued to Necropolis, a distance of four leagues.
Upan the 20:1i of July, Dervish Paths determined upon opening
a passage to Sake e., advanced at the head of all his forces. The
Greeks, considerably reinforced, were in position at Areplana. The
contest lasted wore than nine hours, and our troops, well posted,
mair.tttred their positions with rare valour, though repeatedly re-
pulsed. The Albanians. relying on their great neinericel aiperi-
oritv, returned to the charge. In this state of unceretinty, the
Sulmote Taavelbes, grandson to the inounrtal Photas Tzavellas. or-
tiered the trumpet to sound, rushed from the entrenchments sabre
in hand, with 2011 Suliotes, flirt e himself into the midst of the
enemy's ranks, wnere he spread terror and disorder. His ex-
ample, followed up by that of the troops, decided the battle; and
three thousand Greeks routed the entire Albanian army, superior
in number. and pursued them the remainder of the slay.
The terror of the enemy was such, that a great number of them,
hotly pursued, threw themselves from the rocks, to escape the tire
of the victors; othcre, intercepted in their flight, threw down their
arms. The lore of the Turks umounted to more than :OW men.

We have repeatedly announced the reports of the partial evacua-
tion of Spain by our troops; this rumour is every day confirmed.
All the letters from Madrid announce it ; all the urinary move-
ments seem to indicate it. It appears that before the Ist of Ja-
noary the French army, after quitting Madrid aad the entire in-
teti.,r of Spain, will tall bs,•i Limon tile line of the Etiro, and there
occupy the fortresses of Ilatc,lOns, of Pampeltina, and Santona,
leaving garrisons in Cwlis and Contnna. There will not remain at
tl.e other aide of the Pyrenees more than from 22,06) to 211,0011
men.

........
Phis measure will improve our finarces, hot will it not nnmro-
- our political lino :r ? What guarantees ran tl:e present state
ofSpain afford for the preeervittion of public tranquillity. and the
salty of the Royal Family i What tinanciel resources, what mi-
litary strength do we leave in the hands of I:Were:nil to ennsolidate
and support his authority ? Alai! a gloomy and alamiceg prospect
Lucent' itself to the rellectioa of a calm and impartial el:eery:7 !
We have given our assistance to the efforts of a policy. feeble. ca-
pricious, and little adapted to conciliate feelings and pacify a king-
dom. Deprivations and appointments, week after week, fiats of
proecriptiens, in shape of ine of amneety ; rules for purification,
impracticable as well as merciless ; a register of the suspected. com-
prising every body; and a polies which, in its ineumpreheroilile
proclamations, denounces the supineness and the dissensions of its
own agents ; these are the elements r.f concord whicli we leave after
us, on oar departure from Madrid. IT some provinces. as Cata-
lonia and Macey, enjoy a mute certain state of trerquillity, it Is
owing to the superior civilization of the inhabitant, ; but in what
situation must many provinces of the interior and the cast be
pieced, i i which the volunteer troops exercise an authority above
the law, and other armed bands commit every act of violence. Are
we ready to return to the interior open, the first report of a popu-
lar movement, or are we to remain passive epretators? leappeare
that for the purpose of extricating ourselves from the bad part we
have acted, we are trying a new chance, without knowing what we
shall do it it fails ow
Here then, after all, is the entire advantage that 1111 a!dr, Skilful,
and sagacious Minister is able to extract from the expiate of the
Duke d'Angouleme, and the) victories of the French army. With
the exception of the personal liberty of the King. we find cur-
ative' exactly in the rune situation as we were before the paseing
of the Ebro. Wk.; do we lay upon a point of vital importance ?
We are much behind, we have lest all our credit with men of
weight, amongst whom we had infused some hope of an organize-
tion. We have lost the place we possessed in at,: affections of the
Clergy and the people; we have nothing but the recollectiou of a
military discipline that cannot be impeached.
HOW different would be the result, if the Minister had followed
the generous inspiration* of the Hero of Anita*, supreme me-
diator between the two poles tlisarmed. You would have made
both feel the benefits of a necessary peeteetion ; by repressing the
marl( of perseeution, you would have animated the love of loyalty ;
by protecting legitimate institutious, you would dissipate every idea
of chimerical made% of geverument ; and you would have left a
monument of dignified pelt, y, in a country where you can of ne-
county see nothitig but suspicion and distrust.

An English traveller, coming from Barcelona, was arrested by
the Custoi I-licence officers of lirequcea, upon the Val of last month.
as he was entering France, because lie carried about him Bloat I reo
trance in Spanish money, which was also seieeil at the same time
with a larger :um of the money of foreign countries. llowever,
after an interval of three days, all was returned to him, except Ito
francs, which went to defray the expense of his living, that of his
guards, and the expense.% cif his arrest, and he was suffered to con-
tinue his joutne from Figment, where he was taken. This tra-
veller has every reason to he well satisfied, that in a country
governed as Spain is, they required only 100 francs as an indemnity
tier the trouble of keeping him prisoner for three Jaya. The ex-
portation of gold and ether front Spain is forbidden under seer; c
penalties, and yet this measure does nut render money more
abundant.

march is to be conducted so that the neiveinent may be terminated
by the end of the present year. Some persons, however, still pre-
mod that all these arrengeniEnts are made merely with a view to
intimidation, and that the evacuation sill mot take place, because
the dread of it will I,:ree the Spanish Cabinet to otter its conduct.

During the early part of yesterday little or nothing was
done on the Stock Exchange. fuesday is the vacant day in the
French mails (and there were no arrivals from env other
quarter): when we hare added, that yesterday WAS the Loyd
Mayor's Day, and that the genet ' curiosity to inspect the
great ship Columbus was at its heig!.t, it is easy to c mceive
that there' was but a scanty Hunter of bolls and bears on
the Stock Exchange. 'Smith American Funds rather &-
cline& and this nustercy was increased by a report, which
for some time gained credit, that an expedition, consisting
of two frigates and four transports, was fitting out at
Cadiz for Ilavannali, in the tint instance, but ultimately to
he sent, together s :th a large body of troop; from thence
to some port in Mexico. When we find that Spain is able
to pay the interest of her eh! debts, or any portion of them, '
we may believe such a rumour ; but till hen we must he
suffer, il to doubt thst she has the power to raise either the
money or the turn that would render an expedition against
her revolted 4eionies a scheme Po feasible as to induce
even Ferdinand, weak and foolish as he is, to make the
attempt.
A steam packet, of large dimensions, and considerable
power, fitted for conveying sheep and cattle from the
northern counties of Scotland to the Edinburgh and New-
castle markets, is about to be established, under the patro-
oage of a noble proprietor in one of these counties. The
advantage which the stuck-farmers will 'derive from the
establishment of this conveyance will be incalculable, as
they can send their sheep and cattle, in a fat state, to
market, which hitherto was impessible for them—Scotsman.

amiels, which kept up wi.h the horses. and made au extraordinary I
appearance.—The following day the Khans waited on th. Emperor,'
who receives! them graciously, and presented the two Khans with
rich diamond rings with his cypher ; hereupon, his Majesty per-
mitted the second wife of the Khan Chershasy, who lives with him
at f /renburgh, to be presented to him. '1 he two wives of the Khan
received rich (linden's, and his daughters, ear-rings. Thew Knans

the ball which was given by the Military Governor of Ortnborgh,
and during the parade, to which they were invited. After the pa-
rade, in which dieter-tops received the approbation of his Majesty.
an immense number of Kirghise, with their Sultans, who had
pasted themselves in a line, again made the air resound with their
joyful aeclamaCnna. The Emperor, during this visit, the memory
of which will he indelible in our hearts, was frequently pleased to

ministration of those remote provinces.

THE Cnaea Mao CANARlL—Canaris is one of the
most remarkable men of modern threes; and, not only for
what he has dune against the enemy, but for the morel
lesson which he has set to his countrymen, is de serving of
that immortality which will he his reward. Canaris has
hcen called by some foreign Journals an Admiral. Ile has
never accepted that rank, from a notion, generally very
foreign to those to whom promotion is etre:red, viz.—that
he is not fir for it. (laving burned two Turkish Com-
ieanders in Chief, and defeated a third, he is, as he was
be:'ere, a Captain. Among a people who have, like more
advanced and better established states, their full share of
Unripe.. and rapacity, he has otTered a constant example of
disinterestedness; in other words, he has proposed to him-
self, as an cud, to save his country. and not to rob it. In
Going in his fire-boat against the Capital' Paella's ship in
the Calm' of Seio, he was, as he informed the English
Cenerevetor, v..ho saw him at Psara, becalmed in sight of
two Terkish corvettes. Ills sailors were afraid that they
shoold, be observed and tnaseacred, and became mutinous.
" What would you have," he cried, " if you arc afraid,
throw yourself into the sea, and swim to l'sara ; for my-
• self I shall remain. Let not calm frighten you," he con- •
thunal, " it will detain the enemies vessels as well as our
own: at ten n'cleck we shall have wind." At half-past
nine the night breeze sprung up, and at midnight the Ca-
pitate Peeha was on tire.—Whe n he was seen at Nara by the
Captain to whom we leave albadtal, his wife was employed,
with other tire& women, in making cartridges ; but
though poor, he has steadily refused pecuniary rewards, as
