TRUSTE, JULY 29.

" We send this on purpose to inform you of the news, which
gladdens our soul, that we have learned from two Austrian vessels,
which arrived here yesterday and to-day, from Constantinople. in a
certain manner, that the brave Greeks at last, after a sanguinary
engagement, succeeded in wounding Ibrahim Pacha, and then tea
him prisoner. This news is certain, for the Captains of those vs,.
eels spoke with several Greek Captains, and, among others, wit
Admiral Miaulis, who informed them that he had received official
infeThgence of that glorious event. This unexpected eommuna,
tion has, by its arrival, filled our town with joy and enthusiast
rapture. We are now impatiently expecting a detailed accouit by a
further opportunity. Ibrahim Pacha was on his way to Corinth,
and it seems that the engagement took place there."

" JULY 2f,

" I announce to you with great satisfaction, that there arched
here yesterday three Austrian vessels, two from Smyrna and cue
from Constantinople. The Captain of the latter, named Rarge,
neorch, had left that place 21 days prior, and on his way had re.
ceivsd a visit from Tombasis, who informed him that the Greek,
I had succeeded in taking Ibrahim Pacha, the leader of the Egyri,

being taken, was sent to Napoli. On proceeding further be ma
Captain Stoicovich, who was coming from Alain' by the *ay of
Zante, and that Captain told him the same news. He received that
intelligence ou the 13th inst►nt. The two vessel, from Smyrna
had received no visits, because they had had a favourahle
wind, and had therefore proceeded without stopping. Bitss,d
be God, who has delivered us from our despair, and thus
filled oar soul, with joy ! A vessel from Smyrna had met a ssh.

don with Ibrahim 'Puha, was afraid to remain In the fortress et
Navarino, as, on wawa of the want of water', it would easily
become a prey to an invading force. We give implicit credit to
the above, for we rarely find that the Greek vessels of war give
false intelligence, and we doubt not but we shall speedily receire
a confirmation, with the details of the engagement. Those brace
Frenchmen are now become the servants of the Turks. The
Amaranths, a schooner of war, is the courier of filehemet Ali,
and carried money and despatches for him to his son, to Candis,
and to the fortresses of the Mores ; and now another French man
of war, the Courier, tilled the same office and brought despateus
from the Turks for Ibrahim to Nivarino. These accounts are
confirmed by the aftstrvaiore Triestine of this place, and eh° by
a vessel arrived from Blodon, which deposed the same in the Office
of Health.

he heard a great cannonading, and shortly after, on meeting d's
vessel of the Captain Tonthasis, he inquired the cause, and was
told that the Greeks fired from joy on hearing that Ibrahim Pachs
had been taken prisoner.

The Hydra Gatetie of bliyso laments the fall of Navas
rino, and ascribes that disaster to previous errors, aid
especially to the divisions which have prevailed among the
Greeks.
We learn that the statement which has been put fcrth
respecting the expedition that sailed from Rio Janeiro to
Monte Video, asserting that the Commander had received
orders to attack Buenos Ayres, is wholly incorrect, as far
as regards any hostile intentions against Buenos Ayres.
The object of the expedition is to quell the insurrection
