their Chiefs arc again acting in concert and unanimity. If
that be the ease, with the supply of money they hive lately
received, they need not dread Achinid the Terible, nor

ODESSA. Juxe 11.

The following are the statements given in letters from Constan-
tinople, of the prvarations of the Porte for the campaign, in
which it was still hoped that the Viceroy of Egypt would afford
considerable assistance, notwithstanding the catastrophe at Cairo ;
but besides this, very serious troubles have broken out in Egypt
itself, so that it
.should seem be will hardly be able to spare
any. force to ac• against the Greeks. The Pore reckons,
that the expedition of the Capitan Pacha will be supported
by the i'acha of Scutari, with 10,000 men ; by Omar Vrioae,
with 15.000 ; and above all, by the main army of Dernish
Pacha, encamped at Larissa, which is to be reinforced by
12,000 volunteers from the capital. Under his command is Achmid,
surnamed the 'icrrible, with 2,5011 infantry, and 100 cavalry, who
have taken a solemn vow not to spare the life of any Greeks.
'Junta, Pacha of Patras, besides the 8,000 men that cover that
point, has 2,:500 in the Castle of Runitli, and 2,000 in the Castle of
the 3lorea.

The military preparations of the Greeks, especially those of the
islands, show much boldness, arid it seems certain that their chiefs

useful corresponding member likewise.
Lord Clive has become one of the most ardent Biblio-

We are sorry to hear that Mr. Wilberforce is again seri-

visit to Lord Gambier, at led, when the disorder com-

Yesterday a Court of Directors was Itch! at the East
India House, when the ships Nlottlitt and Juliana, taken
up on the 30th ult. for China, were thus timed, viz. to be
afloat on the 12th instant, and sail from Gravesend at the

Yesterday .iccountri reached the city from Alvarado of
the 16th of May. The day previously an English frigate
arrived with despatches for the British Commissioner Mr. I,
Harvey. They were of such importance that the Captain
of the frigate immediately departed with them for the capi-
tal. Mexico was perfectly tranquil.
Letters have arrived from Rio de Janeiro to the 3d, and
from Maranham to the Ist of May. They bring no
telligence of moment. There were three or four French
vessels of war at Rio, one of which, a line-of-battle ship.
arrived on the Ist of May. There were several more French
vessels cruising off the coast of Brazil, and some hail gone
round Cape Horn. The Emperor Pedro had goce to
Campos. The warlike stores embarked at Rio for the ex-
pedition against Pernambuco bad been relanded, whence
it was interred, that the differences with that settlement
were about to be amicably adjusted.
The Success (cutter), Lieutenant Thomson, arrived at
Aberdeen from the Hebrides and north-west coast of Scot-
land. During the present and a former cruise, that active
and intelligart officer has, we understand, surveyed those
shores, and explored the neighbouring ocean ; and by his
zeal and diligence discovered two dangerous unknown
rocks, never before laid down in any charts The sound-
ings, with the bearings and cross-bearings of these reefs,
particularly one near the Island of Marra, are, as we learn,
laid down with great accuracy and minuteness, and trans-
mitted, with the proper explanations, to the Lords of the
Admiralty. These discoveries, when scientifically pub-
lished, will, we hope, not only tend in some measure to re-
move the hidden dangers which have hitherto attended
navigation in jthat quarter, but may stimulate to greater
exertions in forwarding the important of jest of securing,
as far as possible, the safety of those engaged in our 1.4)1;41
and commercial pursuit.
OBANGLISM.—WC arc pleased to find from the Cork
Southern ite.b.rter, that there was no Orange procession on
the Ist of this month in that city, and consequently none
of those outrages which used formerly to disgrace that day
of party feud and animosity. It was otherwise in the town
of Bandon, notwithstanding the opposition of the Hcn.
Captain Bernard, the Provost, and the other Magistrates.
He, however, succeeded in preventing any violentoutrage,
and shut up the public-houses at an early hour.
Its rtotous MArrxits.—We have the pleasure to state,
that the Apostolic Chair has begun the arrangement of
some private affairs, having relation to the spiritual wants
of t'olotrib4 which had, through the interference of the
Bishop of aterida, been carried up to his Holiness. The
private agent, who had these matters in charge, writes from
Rome, under date of the 15th November lut, that he had
obtained an audience of Pope Leo XII., who hail assured
him of his desire to favour the Bishops and faithful of
America as much as possible, and that he had given orders
for the examination, by a meeting of Csnlinals, of the re-
quest which he had received from the Bishop of Merida,
and they were then translating from Spanish into Italian,
in order that each miglie be carried up to its respective
place. This clearly proves that the sucoessor of Pius VII.
is following the track which the latter had begun, in
relatien to the spiritual :natters of Colombia.--Gueeta de
C 4111144.

It is not generally known that we have at present an'
American li:shop amongst us, led to this country with the
view of obtaining funds for clerical endowment in the,
hack settlements of Anweica, where there is a want of re-
ligious instruction. Bishop Chae, for such is his name,
moved by the altncst destitute condition of the population
of Ohio, has sacrificed the best part of his small fo: tune
in the foundation of a school for educating young men for
the Church; finding by experience that those alone born
and bred on the soil would to sent to undergo the depri-
vations and fatigues consequent on their pious office.
Cues. DR.—An important alteration has taken place
in the coal trade of the district of Newcastle. The c nn-
bination (a kind of " Holy Alliance") which has long ex-
isted amongst the proprietors of the collieries on the Tyne
and IVear, has been recently dissolved. These gentlemen
have been long in the eractice of entering yearly into en-
,
gagements,• to restrict the quantity of coals sold every
mouth by each colliery. Some of the coal owners becom-
ing dissatisfitsl with ;he limited portion assigned them to
vend, the association disagreed, and has therefore been
broken up. As the market is materially influenced by the'
supply, their restriction has kept up the price of coals to
equal the rate at which they were sold during the war,
though every other article of British produce has suffered"
a depreciation of from 20 to 30 per emit. It appears pro-,
!table, therefore, that the London consumer, in addition to
the reduction of 3s. 4d. a chahlron, will experienc.• a
further reduction at Newcastle ; aince it will now be the'
interest of each Colliery to sell as many coals as it can, and
the competition will have the natnial tendency to lower
the price.—Turk Colorant.
Cuarous Fecr.--Norrich (Connecticut), Mar Stel.—
A Mr. Ihvid Evans, of Plymouth, about eight mites from
this village, some time last week, while chopping in the
woods, felled a hollow tree, which contained from four to
eight thousand swallows. They were of the kind gene-
rally denominated the wood swallows. The breast is white,
tail forked,' and tail feathers sharp pointed. When els-
' covered they were prilcipally in a totpld state.
