13th. Omer was constantly beaten, and on the
• 16th, after severe lossca, he succeeded in reaching
Vonitsa, where he embarked fee Presses, at which
place he now is.
M urocordato, Hiskos, Irati..and Macry, after
having chased the enemy, advanced towards Arts,
which they now blockaded with a comiderable

without opposition to Joannir.a.

Just at the moment we expected to see our Suve-
reign, King Maximiliau Joseph, set out for the
Congress at Verona, oat Government, like that of
Saxony, takes measures to complete, by new levies,
the regiments of all arms which composed the Ba-
varian army. Larger purchases have been made of
horses for the cavalry; they all come from Moldavia
and the neighbouring provinces. It is said that the
Bavarian regiments of light horse will be increased
by a squadron.

General and Field Msrshal Baron Laudon died
on the Stid September at his seat Hadersdorf, near
Vienna. He was descended from an ancient and
noble family in the county of Ayr, in Scotland, a
branch of which settled in Livonia, in which pro•
vince he was born at Totter in 1767. He first
served in the Russian army, was Aide•de•Csmp to
Prince Potemken in 1788, and was sent with the
nests of the taking of (hzakow to the Austrian
head quarters, where his uncle, the celebrated Field
Marshal Laudon, procured him from Joseph H.
■ commission in the Austrian army. He distin-
guished himself in all ►he campaigns during the
wars brought on by the French Revolution, and
deservedly attained the highest honours.—/Aus-

FROM THE FRONTIER! OF ITALY, NOVEMBER 17.

We have at length received news from Greece
down to the 24th of October, which are conse-
quently the most recent that it is possible to have.
It appears from them that Chourschid Pacha had still
his head-quarters ■t Larissa, and that the news of
the pretended evacuation of that town was a fable,
which it was easy to suppose, for Larissa is the
chief place of arms, and the most important for-
tress in Thessaly in the hands of the Turks; sod
even if they had been defeated, or constrained to
retreat, they would have left a sufficient garrison
in Lariat's, which is in a condition to make a long
defence.

The reports which have been spread on the faith
of merchants' letters, of the retreat of the Turks
into Macedonia, and the entire evacuation of Thes-
fitly, are equally fabulous with the statements of
the pretended occupation of Larissa by the Greeks.
What may have given rise to these reports is, that
Chourschsd has several times left Larissa and gone
to different parts of Thessaly to organise fresh
troops, to review different corps, to take tneasures
to prevent a new occupation from Epiru', or, Si it
is reported from several quarters, to restore order in
two corps, which were in a state of complete divot-
gauizatims, which had committed various cruelties,
and had in consequence had serious off/rya with the
inhabitants of Thessaly.
There is nothing at all said of the Greeks hav-
ing advanced beyond Livadia. On the other hand,
• report which was circulated at Corfu, and thence
propagated to other. places, that ■ considerable
corps of the army of Chourschid Psalm had lately
advanced by the Thermopylae, to attempt another
invasion of the Mom, is not confirmed.

CORFU. OCTOBER 24.
Civil war has broken out between the inhabitants
of Muddle Albania, of which Berut is the capital,
and Omer Brione, Pacha of Joisnnitta, whose harem
they have curried off, and also his brother, and have
signified to him that they will not release them till
• he sends beck the son of their former Vizier, Ibra-
him Pacha, whom lie keeps as a hostage. After
this, all the Toxide tribes ainindotied Omer, who is
greatly eating r d from another quarter. This
Paella, alter the reduction of Souli, flattered him-
self that he could act oil the •offensive against Xero
Mercy, in Acartninia, and gave out that he was ad-
vancing with 15,000 men. But the Greeks dis-
covered that lie had only 7000, and concluded
that he would never venture through the forests
of Macon Oros. They went, and waited for
him at the entrance of the Ambracian Gulf, di-
viding themselves into small pieties, and occupying
the defiles, which are covered with impenetrable
forests. As soon as the enemy lauded at LoatralE4

ing, the very words which expressed the deter-
tatination of Congress to repress liberty in Spain by
foreign troops, would pass the lips of the Em-
perors half smothered, as by a nightmare, by pub-
lic abhorrence. Again, let us look at the state or
hamiliatioo to which this true eiposition of the
threatened war reduces the gallant oatiou
lately conquered the Continent under NAPOLEON.
They are now Content to march into the arena as the
gladiators of imperial ALERANDER. Surely the
age of chivalry is now no more. The Swiss orril
never thus degraded, for they only sold their aid to
active warriors; but the French; the enlightetiert,
high-spirited, chivalrous French, are wheedled, ea.
joled, enticed into war, for the pleasure of Emper-
ors, who stand aloof in all the security of Spectate:,
at a bull-hailing. We always thought that Mou-
sieur himself, with all his fatuity, would never
descend to this degree of abjectness, much leu be-
come the means of degrading the nation over which
he would fain be despot, lo the vilest service which
imperial Rome ever dictated to her lowest slaves.
.iVith respect to the proliubility of war, the per-
m:trios given by the Congress to Francs is, ac-
cording to our view of it, • positive declaration of
hostilities. We fear that the BoURRoNS and their
emigrant guards are not free erode, and that they
will act in obedience to their northern Master._
This is a termination of affairs which it is impossi-
ble for any blend of freedom or humanity to con.
template without unmixed regret. It is not that
success on the part of the invaders is much to be
dreaded ; but national regeneration is a work of
such extreme delicacy, and so liable to failure even
in profoundest peace, that every sound politician
molt feel alarmed for the liberties of Spain, whet)
once the horrors of war are let loose. The failure
of the French Revolution is a fearful illustnition
of the effects of war on the work of regeneratkin.
Yet there is room for hope that the war mono: pro.

for the moment, by those who Midland in these
countries, as their military chief, and be directs
their' operations. We hove, it is true. no precise
Wes of these operations: it is, however, known,
that by means of a corps posted near Kalarhes sod
Mezzovo, Maurocordato has wholly intercepted the
communication between Joutinitia and Larissa, and
that this corps has lately been reinforced, to en-
able it to penetrate into the interior of Thessaly,
and effect its junction with Diamanti, who had
advanced to Alassons. Chourschid, to hinder all
his communications with Macedonia from being
cut off, has determined to send the reinforcements
which he has received from the Danube to Klinovo,
where he has passed eight days. These measures
'hew that the danger must have been urgent on
that side, since he sent his best troops thither.
Maurocordato is said to have appeared in person
before Arts, whither the Turks beaten in Epirus
have retired. We do not know whet means he
possesses to attack it, or whether he may hope to
make himself master of that place, and then ad-
varier against Prevent. The forces or the Morpota
are still kept in the Peninsula, from which their
commanders do not think of removing them till the
fortresses are taken. The negociations with the
Governor of Napoli di Romania continue, but the
surrender has not yet taken place, though it ap-
pears not to be distant. Pants is blockaded as it
was before the expedition of the Turks in July, but
no attack has been made, the blockading corps being
too weak, and destitute of ammunition. Coron
and Modon are still in the hands of the Turks.—
