PARIS, APRIL 12.
The Austrian Observer of the 31 gives, the following parti-
culars of the taking of Vassiladi and Anatolico

Letters from Corfu say, that the news of the taking of Vassilatli
is confirmed. A bomb, which fell into the powder magazine of the
fort and set fire to it., decided the affair. The garrison of 200 men
made a mast desperate resistance, and with the exception of a few
individuals wu musacred.

Ibrahim then proceeded to attack the fortified town of Anatolie°,
near 31imolonghi, and took it on the 13:11. A letter from Prevem,
of the 13th, speaks as foUowa of thin event :

" After the taking of Vassiladi, Ibrahim prepared to attack
Anatolie°. His gun-boats proceeded by the canal of Pore, near
which the Greeks on the continent occupied (towards the west) a
fortified convent named Kundrow, the batteries of which tired on
the Turkish boats. Ibr:1 int sent a detachment by way of Stemma
to take the convent. The attack and the defence were equally vi-
gorous ; the place was stormed, and the garrison of 400 men was
put to the sword, a few only escaping by flight. The loss of the
Turks was also considerable; they had nearly 21:0 men killed, and
the Barnes Aga was wounded.
" The garrison of Anatolico, which saw this event, considered
farther resistance useless, and offered to capitulate. Igen and
women ran to the beach and asked to be spared. Ibrahim,
who was encamped at a short distance in the village of Vine.
chic, hastened to the spot in person, and granted to the gar-
rison, idler they should have laid down their arms, and to
the inhabitants, permission to retire towards Arta, uemoiested ;
and to take away as many of their effects as they could. Some
days before this, 100 Turkish prisoners, who. were it Adato-
lico, were maasuered by the Greeks.
" During these events at Kundrow and Anatolico, the Greeks, to
the number of 700, made a sally from Missolonghi. The action
was desperate-300 Greeks were killed, and the remainder, for the
most part wounded, precipitately returned to the city. The Turks,
too, had a great many men, among whom were the Toptischt-
Basch' (chief of the artillery), the fialraktar (standard bearer),
and a Batuk Aga (Colonel) who was killed just as he was seizing
a Greek standard. The Lord High Commissioner, Sir Frederick
Adam, who on the 13th went towards Missolonghi, on board the
Naiad frigate, Captain Spencer, which arrived last night
from illissolonghi, at Cephalonia, returned this evening (the
20th) to Corfu. Since his arrival a report has been spread,
that with the intention of sparing the effusion of blood at Miss°_
longlii, which was reduced to extremities, he had again offered his
mediation, but that it was rejected by the Greeks (14"
(I) The news from Trieste, stating that the English flag had
been seen flying on the walls of that place, is therefore false.—Note
of the Observer. _ _

PARIS, APRIL 12.

It is believed that several of the individuals who, on the 20th
March 1115, entered Paris with torchcs in their hands, and were
part of the sacred battalion of Buonaparte, entered Missolonghi
the 20th March 11126. It is well known that Ibrahim's confidant,
Sel►es, who when he turned 31altotnetan took the name of Solirnan
Bey, was aid.de-nmp to Nlanhal Ney. _

Yesterday the King presided, at ten o'clock, in a council of Mi-
nisters, because to-day was the anniversary of the 12th April, a
report wai immediately spread on 'Change of a change of minis.
try, and of war between Russia and Turkey ; these reports caused
the funds to decline one franc.

The Exchange is shut to-day, it being the anniversary of the
King's return to Paris.
The Augsburg Gazrtle, whleh had announced the taking of
issolonghi, says nothing of it to-day. Hitherto we have no ac-
counts of this event besides the details given by two morning
papers•

Several silk manufacturers of Lyons assembled lately to delibe-
rate on an offer made to the French Government to import from
England into France 500 machines, which nor manufacturers do
not yet possess, in return for 500 looma,called Tires and Jurv.ar ds.
In consequence of this deliberation, they pronounced against thin
pmpoaition, and addressed urgent representations to the President
of the Council and the Minister of the Interior, is order to pro-
cure its rejection. It is added, that the Chamber of Commerce
strongly seconded the petition of the manufacturers, both with tl:e
31inister and with the Deputation of the Rhone.

The House of Lords was occupied last night in the con-
sideration of a Bill brought in by the Marquis of LANS
DOWN, for the purpose of making country bank-notes pay-
able at the place where they are issued. The Bill was read
a second time without opposition, with the exception of that
of Lord LAUDERDALE. Lord LIVERPOOL gave his cor-
dial assent to it, and merely asked for delay in order to
give time for the production of infsrmation on this impor-
tant subject, that will enable their Lordships the more
fully to appreciate the advantages of it. The Noble
Mover agreed to this suggestion from the Treasury ;knelt,
and the Committee on the Bill was appointed for Tuesday
se'imight.

In the House of Commons Mr. JoitN SMITH presented a
Petition from the Catholics of Ireland, the prayer of which
was for a supply for the purpose of educating the children of
the Roman Catholics of Ireland, on the principle laid down
by the Catholic Bishops; or otherwise, that a supply
should be granted for the purpose of education, and applied
in such shares to the different religions as the House might
think proper. The principle laid down by the Bishops is,
that a Catholic master should be employed in those schools
where the majority of the children are Catholics, and a
Protestant tutor where the majority are Protestants. The
house afterwards went into a Committee on the Bank
Charter Amendment Bill. • • • •
