The depositions of the Grand Vizier has Dot been attended with
any other change in the administration, nor with any of those con-
sequences so generally extorted.
It is thought that the new Vizier sill hold his high station but
for a short time, and that the Sultan intends the post for another
Paths, who, on account of his absence, cannot occupy the situation
at once. We have not time to investigate how far these conjec-
tures are well founded.

We have received news respecting the military events, which
either conlimis or rectifies the accounts published latterly, and
which we considered at the time as extremely incomplete- The
Egyptians effected a junction in the beginning of September. with
that of I:,mstrintinople in the gulf of Buittlruni. Upon the roth and
Bth of Seleember there took place between this fleet anti the Turkish
squadron, combats which led to noresult; upon thelOth the 'filth was
serious, and !astral the entire day. This is, perhaps, the first fight
which deserver, according to European notions, the name of a sea en.
gagmen,. The intention of the Greeks appeared tube, to destmy the
combined fleet in the harbour in which it lay ; the Eapitan Parlia
frustrated this plan, by hoistingsail and going to meet the enemy near
Cape lloudrinii ; there the forty-six Turkish vessels ranged them.
selves in two lines, and endeavoured to bear down the Creek aqua.
drum A great number of fire-ships sent against them by the
Greeks exploded without effect ; there were but two of them that
succeeded in fastening upon a frigate of the Egyptian squadron,
called the African, and a brig. The Greeks lost twelve or thirteen
of their vessels, and their loss in men must have been considerable,
as they burn d 200 dead in the island of Tire alone; in all probabi.
lily, both parties will claim the victory. We do not know the
(heck statement of thr affair, but it is hard to believe that the ad-
vantage gained by the Capital) l'acha will be compensated fur by
the destruction of two Egyptian vessels.

We have the following from limviers, of the 25th tfetober
M. D—, a respectable tradesman of this city, died on Thentlay
last ; his family asked at the church that a priest might be sent to
pass the night near the body of the deceased. The Vicar replied
that M. 1). nor. having required the assistance of the Church be ore
his death. haft noodling to ask rota exzeet from the Church. Aft:r
this answer the family, unwilling to give seandal, prepared to bury
the dead man with suitable decency; it was determined that the body
should in: taken at once to the burial ground, without its being pin-
seated at the Church. About four handred of the most respectable
of the inhabitants were invited to the ceremony. However, the
Vicar, finding that no further application wee made to him,
repaired to the house to know the intentions of the family.
Ile was received with much respect, and was informed, that after
his refusal it .as not intended to insist upon the rites of the Church.
The Vicar, considering the bad cif cets that might follow irons the
refusal of the ccreanonien of the Church to a man belonging to one
of the must respectable families of the place; affected also, per-
haps, by the readiness with which his decision was obeyed, and not
wishing to be inferior in a spirit of tolerance to patients who
chewed so nitwit respect for the scruples of the ministers of re-
ligion, declared that he was ready to receive the body next day,
at the church; and he offered to pass the night himself near the
deceased. In consequence, tha interment took place newt day,
with all religious rites, and with perfect, regularity and order. The
conduct of the family of the deceased appears to us worthy cf ex-
ample. It thews us the best means of preventing scandal, and
perhaps of inducing the clergy to adopt more tolerant ideas.

The second enterprise against !dearth' has been more unliirtu.
nate thsn the first. In the month of July, the Seraskicr in Chief
of Romelia attempted the invasion of lkotia, by crossing the par.
sage of Aliment' at Neopatra, but repulsed with considerable loss;
he retired to Thelmaly in disorder. About a month after, near the
end of August, pressed by the repeated orders of the Sultan, he
nook a second trort to advance into Mona, at the head of new
reinforcements. At this time he chine the passage of Therinopyln
to penetrate into the enemy's country. His intention was to ad.
trance towards Attica, and fonn a junction with the corps of the
Turkish army which advanced front Negropont upon Athens ;
though repul.eil three times by (founts, this corps, by means of its
numerical superiority, maintained itself for twenty days upon the
frontiers of Ikons and Attica.
The army of Dervish l'aelta, 15,000 strong, was twice repulsed
br the Greeks at the pass of Pliontana, near Thermopylae, when a
urkish detachment having gained a difficult path near the height
of Oeta, and intended to place the enemy birween two fires,
by rare good fortune a detachment of 2,000 Greuks advancing
by broil marches, surprised the Turkish division at the village of
Atnplani, anal destroyed it entirely.
The sudden appearance of this reinforcement, which, after this
success, advanced upon the pass of Thermopylae, decided the gene.
rsl action. The Tanks were completely routed, 11 standards and
all the artillery fell into the hands of the victors..—Dervisla l'acha
lint his best troops, and retreated to Larowia in all haste.
At the same time general Odysseus srriveti with reinforcements
from Peloponnesus, and attacked the Turkish rainy then retiring
front Negropunt, rut it almost to pieces, and obligi'd the survivors
to seek safety in the banns of Negropoin. I'llc General merely,
waits for heavy artillery to begin the regular siege of this import-
ant place. A part of the ifiWIN de:Allied rot the defence of the
Peloponnesus an.l which is disposable on account of die defeat of
the Egyptiatalket, has been entered to pass the Isthmus of Co-
rinth to assist the General in his operations against Neeropont.
In'll'csteni Greece, Omer Pacha, at the head of all his totem,
endeavoured to penetrate into Acarnania. Ile was soon relitilsed
by General Mangos, who pursued him to the vicinity of Cawaasara.
Since this tune the Greeks are acting offensively against him.
Ranges anti (lunges arc advancing uron Arta and Stournarn, at
the bead of a corps of light troop, and have reached the nivirons
of Janina.
