Eitrnct au lettrr from Corfu, Judy 25 :

The accounts from the Continent tit the 16,11 of
this month inform us that R p .St of 30 Frank•, en-
camped at the village of Perm, near Alta, was sur-
prised and surrounded by the 'rooks. They were
taken to Arts, where the bum bort:sus cut off their
ears and noses, and put out their e)es, and sent
then) back iu this condition to the r amp of the
Greeks, who. inflamed with anger at the sight, fell
upon the fidaliometans sod retaliated be cutting in
pieces 340 prisoaers who fell into their hands.
While these 3Ctllr. of Inirt.or were passit,,,,,r in the
south of Epirus, Mark Botairis, i•suing [ruin the

by embarking oat the lake to reitirti to the fort of

The latest accounts from Zeute say, that four

The death of Odysseus was generally spoken of,
a loss which was more than wade up for by the suc-
cess of the brave and prudent Mink Botzsris. No
reliance is now placed in Greece iia the arristinice of
Russia, to which, as Chourschid Pach■ has pub-
licly announced, " the Porte had deigned to grant
peace, since it has abandoned the cause of its Greek
fellow Christman, and recognised the pre-ennueuce

of the Crescent above the Standard of the Cross."
Though this is merely the boasting of s Barbarian,
it is not easy to describe the sinider impression
which it has made on the miods of die Chriaps..

afflicting that amidst so many instances of invinci-
ble valour and perseverance, religion and h.maiii-
ty should have to deplore excesses of which Chris-
tian soldiers should never be guilty.

FRANIIVORT. 'AIIOI3IIT 26.
Several conferences have already taken place at
Vienna in the office for Foreign Affairs, at which
Prince Metternich presided. At these conferences,
which may be considered as preliminary proceed-
ings to those of the approaching Congress, the
following Ministers have been successively invited
to attend :

Fur France—The French Ainbassadoe lb* Ma►quie de
Caraman.

For Great Britain—Sir G.rdoo.
Fur Pruitai•—Prince Hataftlrt.
Fur Bilissa—M. de Tatiactrtr.

It is affirmed that in the famous battle at Ther.
mopylse, the Greeks were aided by the counsels of
a foreign General of distinction who came from
Corinth. This officer, who observed the strictest
incognito, fought in the ranks merely as a Greek
Captain.

BRUSSELS. SEPTEMBER S.
The Amsterdam Jorraul of the 29th, contains
the list of the 'linnet of the 209 Greek merchants
who were put to death at Chio by the Turks, which
list we also published on the 28th.
A Lieutenant of the French Douaniers was
killed a few days ago by a musket shot fired by an
officer who was lying in ambush near Valenciennes,
and who had aimed ate dog supposed to be carrying
contraband goods.

GERMAN PAPERS.

FRONTIERS Of ITALY, AUGUST 23.
Respecting the important events in Thessaly
we have received information, from which it appears
that the troops, which, in consequence of the orders
of the Porte, successively arrived from Bulgaria
and Rouselir, immediately proceeded to Thessaly
to deliver Chourschid Podia from his embarrassing
situation. The troops of turned Greek peasants
which occupy the defiles of Olympus could riot
oppose any effectual resistance to this army, and
retreated into inaccessible mountains. The very
formidable army (stated to be from 15,000 to
20,000 men) advanced therefore without opposition
to Larissa, sod effected its junction with Chours-
chid, who had previously collected the remnants of
the Turkish corps or Hassan Pacha, Mahocuet
Packs, &c., which had been defeated and partly
destroyed before. Chourschid resolved in obedi-
ence to the orders received from Constantinople to
continence offensive operations, even before the
Paella of Salonichi should arrive with fresh rein-
forcements. The latter had sent a corps which was
pl..ced at his disposal towards Cassandra, and
put himself at the head of it, which induced
tile Greeks that had landed there to rein).
bark, as they were not disposed to engage in
a serious combat with superior numbers, but
they will probably return as moon as the Podia
again left Cassandra with his troops. When
these accounts came away the Pacha was also on the
point of marching to Thessaly. During this time
Chourschid had really gained many advantages over
the Greeks, which were proclaimed at Salonichi
with great pomp ; but he subsequently sustained a
severe defeat which compelled him to retreat. The
Turkish authorities at Salonichi of course say no-
thing of this, hut positive information had been re-
ceived there of the total failure of Cliourschid's new
operations. The communication between Larissa
and Salonichi was, however, perfectly restored, and
a new division of troops was really on the march
from Macedonia to Thessaly ; so that some despe-
rate battles may still be expected in the latter pro.
since.

/ROSS THE DANUBE, AUGUST 24.

AVe have accounts of the appearance of Turkish
arid Greek ships of war on the west coast of the
INlurca ; the two squadrons were, however, not
strong, and seemed to beonly detachments of larger
fleets. A letter from Corfu speaks of a naval action
in which the Turks are said to have suffered
severely. In Northern Albania• the projected re-
union of all the tribes inhabiting that district with
the Pacha of Scutari has really been effected. The
alliance is concluded for the common defence against
all enemies whotever.—(Aeureniberg Correspond-
ent, August 28.)

LEGHORN, •UGUIIT 19.

Ye►terday and to-day ►hips have arrived in our
roads from Alexandria, Smyrna, and Malta. The
accounts they have brought do not confirm the re-
port• of naval battles. It seems certain that the
Turkish fleet, which had been joined by several
sail from Constantinople, has sailed from Tenedoa
towards the Mores. Ismail Gibraltar, with the

Egyptian and Barbary fleet, wu cruising between

BUCHAREST. AUGUST 4.

[FROM • wset►&taTlLZ zeitt".l
In the course of last yea► the intrigues of some
Hetarists induced the wife of our present Priee
not to leave Cronstadt ; she subseqwently got her-
self divorced from her husband. The Prince taus.
ed the divorce to he confirmed by the 'Patriarch at
Constantinople, and it is thought she will now hardly
return to Bucharest. The Divan here has, how-
ever, sent two Boyars to Cronstadt to fetch the two
Nimes, and they are expected in a few days.
The heat, which had increased to 33 degrees, has
■bated, and the thermometer to day is at sai. We
do not hear of any dangerous diseases. Unhap-
pily the hay and corn is burnt up, there baring
been no rain fur these two mouths.

MARSEILLES. AUGUST 15.
We have direct news from Constantinople of the
latter end of Juty. The Porte circulated various
accounts of victo►ies, and announced the approach-
ing subjection of the Insurgents iu the Mores.
The people were informed that Chniirachid
united with the Paella of SAlonichi and Hassan
Pisan, had gained great advantages, and was on
his march to the Mores, whither also the Turkish
fleet had sailed, kc.; but the better informed
Turks did not give much c►edit to these accounts,
which they considered as a contrivance to revive the
fallen courage of the Musaulmen.
The Jani-series 'hew on all occasions their dislike
to the present system. They say that Hatch Ef-
fendi is sold, and in the pitynf the enemies of the
Mussulmen, and that all the mi►fortunes that have
happened hitherto must be ascribed to him. They
are also dissatisfied with Ibrahim Paella, who com-
mands the army at Bujukdere, and has ►aved Hsieh
by his courage, in recompence for which, his friends
say, he is to be made Grand Vizier, and he has, in
fact, had several initiate audiences of the Sultan, at
which Haiti) was present. But well-informed per-
sons say that they are not on such good terms as
they seem ; that th►y fear and envy each other,
and will soon be at DI en variance, and that Haleb
is certainly fur from thinking of doing any thing to
advance Ibrahim, on whom lie can never depend.
It was stated at Constantinople that all the dif-
ferences with ttussu were adjusted, and M. De
Tutischeff will soon come as Ambassador.

Several troops have again lately been ordered
from Bulgaria to joie the army in Thessaly. Those
sent before have relieved Chourschid from his em-
barrassment, and enabled him fur the moment to
act on the offensive.

Letter. from Salonichi sny, there have been in
southern Themly singuinsry action•, with slier-
note successes.—(4llgemeineZeitung, August 27.)

NM YORK, ♦UGI'tT 16.

Captain Boss informs, that the Spaiii.ll frigate
Ligera, and brig of war Hercules, with nine tran-
sports, from Cora for Porto Cabello, watered at
Caracas, and sailed on the 48th, having on board
General Morales and his army, to take comenual at
that place. The people at Cora were in a state of
starvation. The brig liars, of New York, was at
Laguna, recruiting men and officers to join the
blockading squadron at Porto Cabello.

FROM CANTON.—Wt learn from Captain Bre-
your', arrived yesterday from Canton, that the trade
was very much embarrassed in consequence of Go-
vernment having exercised the right of searching
all vessels which arrived for opium, a great deal of
which had been smuggled into the country. The
difficulties, it was supposed, would be settled in
the course of a few day*.

WAR OF THE SOUTH ENDED.

EXTRAORDINARY GAZETTE OF COLObIBIA,JUNE 24.

Government lilts just received official dispatches
from the General Liberator, dated Pastels, the Bth
of June, enclosing the terms of cspit ulation granted
to the Spanish troops, who defended Rams, and
Quito, in virtue of which the first place was taken
possession of by the President Liberator, the same
day (Bth June), and the latter by General Sucre on
the 25th May. The brilliant marches from Boni-
bona and Pichinchu which preceded the capitulation
obliged the enemy to surrender. and the liberators
of the South proved themselves as generous as they
were valiant. The Colombian guard has increased
its reputation; the warriors of Pichincho have proved
that the love of liberty can vanquish every difficulty.
The wet of the South has ended to the glory of the
Colombian arms. A million of Americans is added
to ilie'family of the Republic, and the victor of a
hundred battles, the generous enemy of Spain, the
creator of Colombia, the immortal Bolivar, her added
new laurels to his imperishable fame.—(Caraccas
Gazette Extra, July
Captain Show informs, that Bolivar had entered
Quito at the head of 20,000 men ; that he took the
place with the loos of 7,000 men ; the Spanish
Royalists lost 12,000 meta. including their Com-
mander. The place was declared independent roar
days after the battle.
