We have received the following accounts of the late eron•gements
between the Tulin' and the Oreeks, at Ipasee, front torte, dated
AuLust I, contained in extracts from an authentic letter:—
•• On the 21st June, O.S. the 'Turkish fivt, strived of fours,
land +l from twelve todfteen thousand troops in that part which was
thuight the most difficult of tercels, and where constantly a land-
ing was least expected. DPW parties foaght with equal ardour and
perseverance :.,Obi Turks diete times attacked a Greek battery.
and were constantly repulsed. At length they carried it : bat
while they fancied thanselves victorious, and drew their sabres,
tbey met with death. A tireek soldier, erlin saw that ail was lost,
met trey, the powder_ CM: bmied lender the ruins all tha Turks,
with eighty Greeks who defeadcal the battery.
" Notwithstanding this, superior nut:there at length prerailca,

island, and stand nut to sea. The troupe who had been landed
reeing this, and fearing that the flet woniel abandon thou, most of
them left the town and went down to the shore.
•• The few Greeks remaining in the island took advantages( this
cirettoistance, fell on those who remained in the city, killed GOO of
them, and succeeded in relming all the slaves and reroverieg the
bony. Meantime the other Greeks from the neighbouring islands
beamed, with eighty ships, to the aid of lissom, and on the ?5,h
ad engagement tooth place between the two fleets, in which the
Greeks set fire to that of the Tears. and took four of their large
easels and many smaller ones, without losing one of their own.
A few diys after the principal fort and the town were already in the

SPANINII REFUGEES.
The number of Spanith teiugees in this country at the
prev.nt moment, includine, their wives and children.
amounts, as nearly as possible, to about 4.50 persons. ()I'
these nearly 400 received pecuniary assistance front Govern-
men last month ; each married person receiving an addi-
tional allowance for his wife and children. The total sum
so disbursed was 1 goo 1

it never was fora moment contemplated by his Ma-
J Government to enter into an engagement or promise
opsy these Spaniards a regular pension. When the ques-
tion of assisting them was first agitated (against the policy
of which, however, a strong, opinion was delivered by per-
anis of high authority), it was determined to place in the
haals oft Duke of Wellington the arrangemmt, as to
what mount of weekly allowance should be granted, the
*el eon of the individuals with regard to character, and
all the other details of the measure. Ills Grace, after
soaking the am vary inquiries, admitted about one hundred
on 11114 list. Thom who remained excluded amounted to
out souther hundred, alt they received a weekly al-
lowance from the Spanish Committee.
, The funds of this Cr mrnitt however, becoming re-
run d, and the plthlic feeling having ceased to be excited
favour of those Spaniards, an application was made to
lionorrent, by a respectable individual, a Alember
.4 Parliament, for some pecuniary aid, and the immediate
r .olt of this application was, the remittance of `.:001. to
• the charitable carts of the gentlemen who meatt the

Thf!Cominittee d.dnot dissolve itself, as h3/1 been et3tfli'
on the strength of representatioua from the For. ion Of-
few, that the Spanish patriots would be supported by tlo-
"hramt." The fact is, the Committee dissolved itself
locanse it had no longer any funds to go on.
&re that period the Government has gradually exteruled
tezPozary monthly relief to stout four In:mired persons;
at':! to those who wished to return home, further pecuniary
1;d has been given to assist them in doing so. D.,fore the
I.l*.holged article appeared en Tr slay, orders bad been
414 by Government for the present continuance of the
