perpnratiii have been making here at the palace of
the Residence, for the reception of the Emperor
Alexander, whose arrival will take place about the
71h of September. His Majesty will be accoropad
meil by three Adjutant Generals, amongst whom is
mentioned Count Schonwaloff. It is probdhle the
Emperor of Russia will stay some time at Vienna,
fin it appears the Sovereigns or the foreign Ministers
will hold conferences here, previous to going to
Verona.

A thousand conjectures are in circulation. and
obtain more or less credit, relatively to the objects
of negncistion; one of them is of such a nkture as
to induce me to communicate it. although I do not
!place much faith in it. It is said that the three
great Powers which made the division of Poland.
have agreed to give up their respec►ive poi.
lions. and to restore that kingdom with a Sovereign,
who is a native of the country, and free from all
foreign influence. this would, doubtless, he a dis.
tingumhed proof of disinterestedness on the part of
those Monarch.. But it is foreseen that the gees-
, lion as to settling the indemnities, which they have
• right to require for the interest of their subjects
and their crowns, would be tedious and difficult to
resolve.

CONSTANtIXoput, JULY 46.

The Greeks are in an intoxication of joy. The
Tartars (couriers) have brought the news that
Chourschirl Paths, who had called to aims all the
inhabitants of Macedonia, to the number of 70,000
men, h.rs experienced great checks. He repulsed
the Greeks on the 7.h July with a considerable loss,
but the nest day he suffered a total defeat. It is
said that four Paellas have beeo made prisoners, bit
the Porte still conceals the dasinitches it has recce.
ed, especially from the foreign Ministers.
Chourschid Paths had joined the 'Nichol; of Ne-
groponte, Larissa. and Janina. His forces were
estimated at 110,000 mess, but a great part were
undisciplined militia and banditti. The Greeks
were commanded by the brave Odysseus (who died
for his country in the fight of the 7th July), Ge.
nerals Ypsilanti, Norman,,, and [Lewis. Chows-
chid (lochs, who had already sent to the Porte a
Tartar to announce the extermination of the Wi-
esner, imprudently involved himself in the defiles
of Zittury (Thermopylae), on the out side, and
those of Neopatria on the other.
The Greeks had formed an ambuscade, and be.
gars the battle with the courage of true Spartans.
The three Pachas were made prisoners, sod Chours.
chid Pioche saved himself with 4,000 rues. towards
Larissa. Accounts, perhaps& exaggerated, reckon
the loss of the Ottomans at 30,000 men, that of the
Greeks at 18,000. The consequences of dna event
may be very important. General Count Normann
was saluted by the Greeks as the heroic Prince;
they carried him on shields across their camp.—

Immediately after the last post, the nomination of
the new Hospodars of Wallachia and Moldavia has
been officially announced. They are preparing to
depart, and it► order to avoid the troubles of Coo.
stantinople. they will receive their horse tails, the
mark of their dignity at Adrianople. The Pacha
of Silistri• will put the Kooks (Princes cap) on
them. They will be accompanied, it is said, by
4.000 Turk. for a guard, which is contrary in the
Treaty of Bucha►est. Their •gents will be all
Turks, and they will be subjected to the Sera►kier,
of &bans, so that they will only have a shadow of
power.
We enjoy here a great degree of tranquillity ;

Some days ago the Porte recalled the Firmans
which had been granted to several French vrs►els
destined for Odessa, under the pretext that many
French were serving with the insurgents in the
Mores. The French AtobAssador, M. Lvtour-

hitherto been without effect.

of the 16th of July. say that duce Pachas, and a
among theca the cruel D•am-Ali. have been taken
prisoners, with 11,000 Turks. The number of the
killed is said to be still greater. the Greeks were

The Paris Papers of Suoday last contain intel-
ligence of %vents more than usually interesting.
It is conjectured in the political circles of that
cisy, that the death of Lord LONDONDERRY will
have the effect of preventiug a Congress from being
held so soon as had been o►iginally intended. We
learn, however, that in the contemplation of •
Congress, Vienna abounds with • thousand ru-
mours of the probable topics which will occupy the
attention of the assembly. We notice it as a re-
markable circumstance, tied a report should pre-
vail io the capital of Austria that it is intended by
the Allied Sovereigns to restore the ancient king-
dom of Poland to its original power, and place
upon the throne an independent Sovereign. We
cannot hope that Austria, Russia, and Prussia, will
disgorge the rich plunder which they had severally
acquired upon the first partition, nor that Russia will
consent to ►esign what still remains of Poland, and
which in fact now constitutes one of the fairest
portions of the Russian empire. Rut the preva-
lence of such a rumour evinces the current of pub-
lic opinion in Germany, and proves the existence of
a wish that justice should at length 'be done to a
noble and gallant nation. We learn from the
German Papers that a society exists in Poland
called Polonia, the object of which is to effect by
any means the reunion of that country, and to ac-
complish its independence. It is a glorious pur-
pose as it affects Poland alone, bet so it regard.
Europe in general it embraces a principle of policy
which the ambition and power of Russia ought to
make valuable to every other Cabioet.
The Parts Papers present to us two concurring
accounts, derived from different sources, which speak
of • deci.ire victory obtained by the Greeks over
their barbarous oppressors the Turks. commanded
by CHOUllsculD PAcuA. The battle is said to have
kern fought near the Straits of Thermopylle; but
when we read of a Turkish army amounting to
90,000 men, commanded by four Michas, and that
little more than 4,000 men escapee. we discern a
spirit of exaggeration that throws a disheartening
doubt over the probability of every part of the
statement. The Iluddest appearance in any part of
the Greek provinces of a Turkish army so 'tome-
roue as this is represented to be, must elicit, our
astonislimeut, nor does it seem to be sufficiently
accounted for by the remark that this force did not
consist altogether of regular troops, but was swelled
up to this unwieldy magnitude by a key ew Niue

in Macedonia or all 'reeks .capable 1,1 bearing atm..
The fighting is said to have commenced on the
'►th of July, when the Greeks sustained a severe
check, and lied to mourn the loss of the gallant and
enterprising Ontsseus, one of the best and ablest
of their leaders; but on the following day Cnov as-
CIRD PACHA, pursuing his advantages with too
much confidence arid precipitancy, involved his
unwieldy army in the defiles of Therinopylui, and
then she Greeks took • noble revenge fur their for-
mer defeat. It is pleasing to fancy that the me-
mory of the glorious deeds once witnessed by
Thermopylae might on the present occasion have
exercised some influence upon the warriors of
Greece. They rushed upon their oppressors, we
are told, like the Spartans of old, and gained a most
decisive victory. We cannot, however, give any
Credit tb the assertion that 50,000 Mums'neaps were
slain or taken primmer,, and that of the immense
army of 90,000 men, CHOUg•CHIS PACHA could
take fruna the field of battle only a body of 4,000
men. Three Pooches, who fought under CUOURII-
CHID, fell into the hands of the Greeks, who on
their part are said to have lost 18.000 men. Ge-
neral Count NORNANM commanded the Greeks in
this battle, and his troop,, in honour of his victory,
saluted him with the title of Heroic Primes, and
bore him in military triumph through the army
upon a shield. This was the mode practised by the
several armies doling the decline of the empire,
when they sought to elevate some favourite General
to the throne, rod invest him with the Imperial par.
ple. It is fortunate for any country struggling
against oppression. as Greece now is, that some in-
dividual should arise to whom the army and the
people can look with confidence as capable of lead-
log them to victory. General Neiman x appears to
have been distinguished above his colleagues, end
he will probably henceforth become the most pro-
minent character in the affairs of Greece.

The Augsburg Gazette announces the victory of
the Greeks iu more moderate terms, and therefore
renders the report more probable. The victory is
represented as being eminently decisive, but the
loss of the Turks in killed, wounded, and prison-
ers, does not exceed 20,000 men. If the Mussel-
man army were formed of undisciplined levies,
raised suddenly iu Macedonia, a defeat must neces-
sarily be attended with total dispersion, for success
and plunder alone can keep an undisciplined army
together.
The proceedings in the case of the Rochelle coo•
spirst7 before the Court of Assize at Paris were re-
sumed on the 24th of August. M. de TOUISSAINT,
Colonel of the 45th regiment, was examined. He
gave so account of the discovery made by the ac-
cused Govistt.Low. After some observations made
by GOVUILLON arid several other prisoners, the
Court adjourned abruptly, in consequence of the
indisposition of the President.
