Accounts from Zonte of the middle of August
relate the history 'of the late operations of the
Turks in the Mures and Albania, upon the whole,
entirely as we were previously informed of them by
the reports from Constmattimple—a coincidence
which, considering the distance oldie places and
the differences of the sources. was hardly to be ex-
pected. From these reports, uthich it is true still
leave many things iu the dark. it again appears that
enourschid Paella penetrated into the Mores
through the defiles of Thermopylae, over the moun-
tains of Geretria4 and Megara. while other corps
proceeded from Patens against Corinth end Argos.
These reports are as silent about • battle at Ther-
mopylae as those froni Constantinople.
The reports front Zente contained many remark-
able data relative to the internal situation of the
Peninsula at the tune when the Turkish troops ad-
mired. It appears from them that anarchy had
reached the highest degree in that unhappy coun-
try. Colocotroni, after leaving the corps which was
lo.sieging Pairas, went to Tripulizs, where, to-
gether with Demetrius Ypsilanti and the Bey of
Mains, he published • declaration, stating, that the
Government had betrayed the country. In con-
formity with this declaration, it was resolved to arrest
all the members of the Government, to suspend the
Constitution, and to establish in its steed a purely
military Government. They immediately proceed-
ed to execute these resolutions: twenty-two of the
Members of the Government were arrested; among
there was the well-known Archbishop of Petra*,
who passed for the author of the Greek insurrection.
He war conveyed to Tripolixe, where his sacred
character alone protected him from the fury of the
populace and a disgraceful death. The others were
to be sent prisoners to Hydro; hut several of them.
for instance, Londo.Thanos, and Papatimmundopulo,
seemed to have saved themselves by flight. Large
sums of money are said to have been found in the
pussessiou of the War Minister, Collettis, which
were very welcome ro the Triumvirate.
The misery of the country has attained the
greatest degree tender these military Regents : they
rub and plunder worse than the most inveterate
enemy could do. They treat as their property the
little that the inhabitants hive saved; they convey
their booty to the Nialoote mountains, where they
will endeavour either to maintain themselves, or at
least to capitulate on the best terms that it may be
possible to obtain.

Advice, from Rio de Janeiro to the 19th of
August clearly establish the important fact, that
Brazil bass finally shaken off it. depeodance on
Portugal. A decree has been issued by the Paine '
Ranstur, in which he declares us mealiest sit t:
Portuguese troops sent to Brasil, from whatever
motive that measure may have originated, unless
his approbation and consent have previously been
obtained. If they shall dare to land in Brazil he
invites the people to oppose them en morse. He
further orders, that if, notwithstanding such resist—
ance, they shall succeed in setting foot on the shores
of Brazil, that the inhabitants of the place in which-
they may land shall retire into the interior, carrying •.;
with them all the moveables and provisions they can '
collect, sod, by laying waste the country, deprive
them of the means of subsistence. The Pao net has
also published • manifesto, iu which he enters Into
a long and able justification of his conduct. On
the 3d of August the Minister of State at Rio de
Janeiro convened a meeting of the principal mer.
chants for the purpose of effecting a loan. The
sum required was 400,000 mikes', which was soon
subscribed. Several of the British merchants Imre
taken shares in this Inc.,, which is to pay 6 per
cent, interest, ■lld 10 per cent. of the capital is to
be redeemed annually. Many of the European
Portuguese had alas subscribed—a circumstance
which would tend materially to strengthen and
create confidence in the existing Govcrninent.
