In the course of last month there were several engagements
in
the Mores, between the Egyptians under Ibrahim Pacha, and
the corps hutily colleecd by Colocotroni,since he assumed the coin.

the confession of the Greet Journals themselves, were in &robe of
the Egyptians. The most considerable of these actions took place
on the 4th of July, at Tricopha, where Colocotroni had assembled
all the troops he could command, stated in ha report at Ift/O men,
to give another battle to Ibrahim, before he was joined by the reit_
forcemeat landed by Hussein Bey, at Navarino. The issue was
disastrous,. to the Insurgents, who were defeated and dispersed with
great loss,which is estimated at above 1,000 killed, and 160prisoner4,

surgents from collecting and fortifying themselves any where. The
%plain of a ship, which sailed nth July for Napoli di Romania,
affirms that on that day the Egyptian Vanguard had again appearitt
near the Mills. All the reports and private letters (rim dmyses
Confirm this.

Part of the Greek squadron, which is said to consist of 313 brigs
and six flre.ships, sailed on the 18th and 21st of July from Hydra
and Sparta to the loffitin seas 'to attack the fleet of the Capitol
Pasha, rind carry sintour to Missolonghi, which was closely press.

that awaited them, the Turks, it is said, having required them to
surrender at discretion, opposed the conclusion of the eaFitulatin,

troops and 2000 horse. On the 2".k1 July Admiral de Rigny est

the tumultuotis scenes 10th, I Ith, and 12th July, had
ill treated the French Consul, to come on board his frigate, and on
his refusal, landed some men who fetched him. This being done,
and the Consul formally reinstated, in, his office, the Adintral left
the roads, steering westwards ; it is thought he will take the Eparch
to Hydra, or to Napoli di Romania, and insist on his being pu.

Government. A mutiny broke out on, the 14th of July, among
the Janissaries, who refused to give up to the Governor Omer

bad no farther results. In No. 130 of the Fru-xi qftr,c Loss ofuly

he acknowledges the defeat of his army in this battle, which lasted,
he says, from seven o'clock till noon, and gives the names of two
Generals and eleven superior Officers killed. The Greeks, he saysi
had 30 killed, whereas the enemy had 600 killed, among whom are
several Officers of distinction. There is also a long lettet from
Coloeotroni and Londo to the Bey of Mains and the Maihotes, in
which he upbraids them for not replying to the many letters that
bate been seat to them, and for their apathy in the present criti-
cal situation of the Peloponnesua. They are desired to rercenabet•
that the rest of the Mores is subdued it will then be their turn.
The hiss of the battle at Tricepha is again ascribed to the negli.
Bence and disorderly conduct of the Greeks. however, as the
enemy lost 600 men, and the Greeks only 90, and 4,000 are again
assembled at Karitetre, which it is hopes' will be increased in a ter
days to 10,000, and there are 9,000 men at Vernon, they still hope
to s.irround the enemy. The aid of Sparta is now wanting.

COMMERCIAL REGULATIONS BETWEEN GREdiT
BRITAIN AND THE NETHERLANDS.

to many of our commercial readers, is extracted from the

merated, and on which no Tariff is at present fixed for either im.
portation or exportation, no greater duty shall be levied on the pen
of either nation than 6 per cent.
