The Gesell", of Napoli di Romania, of tile 19th Intl
`23tl of August, give the following particulars of the opc-
ratinne of Ibreitins Paella, chiefly against Asroe (east of
Trinelima. in tile Clair of NaPuli) :
When Ibrahim riturrtri to Tripbiltsa, and was informed of
the battle, on the Ist of Angurt,at the village of liteliniet Aga,
and the lows he had suffered in it, he was transported with
unarm lie ordered the army to fidlow Lora, and marched to St.
Peter And to Issconia. 3lecting with no opposition, he loirr.t
Castel, eli. ,Petcr, Si. John, and Calybia, and cane down to
Astra. lle then tlivichA his arnty hate time corps t that of the
centrt =retied by Vameako to Alistra ; that of the right to-
wards- Rschova; and the left towards Calybia and Astros to bai-
rn:int, and berm Presto.
The corps that went against :tlistra having met with a brave re-
sistance is t'astance, was obliged to reir.'at. This is Ibrahim's
cwt.= whenever lie meets with any roistacce. General Nikita,
who is always natty to march against the enemy, was at id ph when
Ibrahim was burning and roasiftering. Ile therefore took hi, at-
tendant*, the garrison of 3lisseonghi, the lonian phalanx, the
leplialottra•Ziatte carps and others. and hastened against the
enemy ; but he had proreedrd only a little way, when he saw. the
enemy morning in tell force towards Calybia, from St. John,
against ANIMA. He therefore tanned back, a.. 41 occupied, before
the enemy, the newly-built wall in Astro,. The enemy arrived,
rat took a position in Calybia, extending to the vineyards and the '
whole plain of A/otos. On the *Pith of this month 1,1)00 regular I
infantry and 300 cavalry advanced against the walls, but were
bravely received, and retreated to the camp, after snore loss. On
Me 17th the enemy, wilt his whole force, petted himself near to
the walls. in the sleepers's. with the intention. es it seems, to stake
a more serious attack on the wall. 3leanwhile areestance was sent
from Nap.iii. louder Gcnerals-Agalopulo and Chrism Coloco:roni,
with ainrnunttina and two Ci:1111011; and if troops arrive in time
from the erupt near Corinth, Ibrahim will pay dearly for thr
mischief he has alone. and his rash, rather than well-e.dculttiteti
marches. will prove ruinou.s, io himself.
On the 18th test., catly in tha morning. the enemy. in three di-
silsions, advanced sgaitrot Astros, where General Nikita is, wi'h
"!00 men. A small cannon was to receive the enemy, but it unfor-
tunately burst at tie first shot, and killed the best Getman, Zacha-
rias, and alinhily wounded two others. Zacharias had sent. four of
the enemy to Hales, with his little cannon, before lie was himself
Idled by the ace'deitt. When the enemy
.saw that the tire of this
dun had ceased, they malted formanl with greater impetuosity.

trnlfeaitror of ednetelay contains an able article
ele.fhidir.gthe policy of the French Cabinet in their dipio-
'retie trensactims with the New Republics of America.
This article, which has all the appearance of being official,
begins by stein„ in rather a pompous manner, what has
been lately dom. in furtherance of a commercial intercourse'
with the New Eta:: a. 11 (Top atu?ates the nation on the
SUCCOAS of the OICASUTER which have been adopted to pro-
rune its trading prosperity, and diet enters into an elabo-
rate defence of the conel4ct of the King's Governmeut, as
respects the dictates of good faith and the claims of ancient
frienekitip, so solemnly plcdged, so frequently renewed,
end so justly due to the crown of Spain. After taking
credit for great generosity mid thsinterested honesty to-
wards his Catholic Majesty, the article proceeds to show
that the bent of a free trade with Spaitisli America had
sieilter been too long delayed for the interests of France,
nor too soon enjoyed for the* of Spain, The following
paragraph in this part of the paper is not a little curious:—
" Leery hotly wid agree that it was time at last to take a
part. All expectation of decisions con:mon to the Great
I'owers had vanished. The mojority of mcnarchies had
taken the lead of us. Our merchants saw their rivals
press with cor.th'.ence towards cur shorts. It was of conse-
gee nee not to give foreigners time to recover from the
shock.: which the ccmmercial world had experienced, and
which end in Europe when America begins to breathe. France
could not for ever extend to the two ends of the universe
' those sacs laces which she has multiplied for the last feur years
in the Peninsula, and the cries of French commerce weighed
on the heart of the King. Perhaps even the interest of Spain
spoke likewise. In doing wan she could no longer avoid
elMitg withent t'an,ger to liersclf, France acted without pre-
, jullice to Spain ate her King. She takes no aide in the
long contest between the mother country and her colonies.
Slie leaves undecided those great questions which fortune
. seems to have decided. She leaves the solution entirely to
time, to Spain, lied to God." There cannot be a more un-
equivocal declaration, on the part of the French Ministers,
' that in their epinioa the Court of Madrid is continuing a
hopeless ctattrit; that they have earnestly advised the
Spanish Cabinet to make terms with the new States; that
smug other motives for their long delay in consulting the
interests/of France, was their desire to bring about a simul-
taneous accommodation on the part of Spam; and that on
their present resolution of taking this impoetant step alone
ie founded their only hope of twinging the Spanish bour-
bons to their senses. The article concludes by a demonstra-
tion that France has nothing to fear from the existence of
Itopolslics en the other side of the Atlantic; that it is not'.
Mesmer!, in order to exclude democratic doctrines, to
raise a Chinese wall in the middle of the ocean; and that
Frenchmen have experienced sufficient calamities from de-
mocracy at home, during the Revolution, to rust any Auger
of importing its principles from the New World. This
pas et the document is probably addressee' to the French
• floras, sad the rump of the Holy Alliance: France Las
now followed England in departing from some of the most
important principles of that league.

IGurvisey, on Saturday last, and ordered to be registered at
