While the Horatian Ukase of August 18 announces the crania-I
tion of the Principalities as having been effected, letters from Jassy
state that the Austrian President, M. Von Lippe, has presented a
note to the It...tinder, in which be is stated to have urged the ac-
celeration of this evacuation.
ODE//A, SEPT. 22.
According to accounts form Constantinople, of the 13th Sept.
the hopes ilat the Divan has entertained for many months of the
Egyptians begin to vanish. It seemed to be suspected that the art-
tul Mehemet Ali Paths never thought of recovering the Morea fur
the Porte. The period of the departure of the fleet from Alexan-
dria, which was precisely during the dog-days, was enough to ex-
cite suspicion, and this has been greatly increased since by the luke-
warm conduct of Ibrahim nacho. Meantime reports had been cir-
culated in the capital of the dispersion of this expedition, which,
however, seem to rest on no sure foundation. However, the disso-
!talon of the Asiatic army, at Scala Nueva, in cite of the must im-
portant events of this campaign, and perhaps decisive of its issue.
There was reason to expect this dissolution, as some hordes had
already deserted. it is the Fenian Prince, governor of her.
canschali, who Ingo emitted the first hostilities against the
Porte, sod occupied with his troops Sulimania, the capital of
Codistan.

Private letters from Bitoglia, of the 10th instant, pretend that
Sentakier. Dervish Pacha, has been beheaded by command of the
Sultan. This would make the fifth Seraskier who has lost his life
sinoe the beginning of the Greek revolution. The Pacha of Silis-
tria, who obstinately opposed the evacuation of the principalities,
has teem suddenly called to Constantinople ; and as he has taken
his harem with him, it is supposed lie is to be appointed to some
other y•sist. It is reported that the Janissarieshave obtained the
deposition both of the (hand Vizier acid the Reis Effendi; and if
this is the case, the Fiche of Silistria, who is a great favourite with
the Janissaries, is probably intended for Grand 'Vizier.
CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 14.
The successor of Glialib Pachs is Fotnnlu Mahomet Pacha of
Silistria; Wialiis Padua retains the disposal of the little property
hyper. ves, and the Sultan has allowed him to choose I 'al Naafi fur
his place if exile. The fall of (Maids has made an unpleasant sen.
satton. MS administration gave satisfaction. The good terms on
which lie lived with the Ulemas and the Janissaries, made the

to the interest of the empire. The Poch* of Silistria arrived in.

Report of General Joanne% Commander of the Forterns of
Athena. addressed to the President of the Executive Body,
dated St. Luc (near Athena), 7 (19) July. 1824:
For sonic days I have been endeavorting to provoke Omer
Paella to risk a general engagement, but 1 did not succeed, and
on that account I returned to the town, with an intention to niter
my plan and to adopt different meastates. I mok up my quarters
in the neighl,rurhnod of Alaratbon, at about two hours distance
from the Turk.An Army, and fortified them will, as it was abso.
Imely requisite, and after having annoyed the enemy with skir-
mishing during two days. I saw him on the 2d instant, at about
three o'clock in the morning, corning towards us with fifteen hun-
dred Infantry, and five hundred cavalry. Their impruosity
was very great; but the courage of the Greeks was still more
so. 11 e were encamped on an eminence at about art hour's
distance from die sea, and close to the village of Marathon,
and were also in ion of a small tower. In two hours
the enemy receiertr f= reinforcements, to the number of 2,000
men, and attempted many times to dislodge us, but in vain. The
combat was obstinate, and ably contested on both sides. Omer
Paella. in person, fired severe' times at us, taking different posi-
tions, and leaving an open passage, as if to invite the Greeks to
fie.-. After a continued engagement of two hours, we felt the
need of reinforcements, but saw none likely to conic, anti what
was worse, our ammunition began to decrease. The perseverance
of the Turks, who haul nearly conic up to mit entrenchments, and
' who seemed as if they intended to confine us to our position during
the whole night, obliged us to call a Council of 11'ar towards seven
o'clock of the saute day, in which we determined to sally out on
the enemy; but about nine o'clock, we saw the brave Colonel
D. Eumorphobulos approaching with 250 men. and having. after
an hour's trial, eflimted an union, we ',arched with 530 men
against the enemy, who were to the number of 4.000, and suc-
ceeded in routing him completely, anti in vanquishing him on the
fish inst. to the full extent of the term, for we were Greeks and at
31ararlion, after an obstinate contest of 12 hours. The enemy had
700 killed, and an im tense number wounded (for, during the toot-
h.% they were continually occupied in removing them from the
Heirs of battle). Ile also lost tint'. standards. Our soldiers made
that day a considerable booty. We had three men killed and
Aix wounded. All the (reeks shelved extraordinary courage in
that engagement, but I think it my duty to name those who con.
tributed most especially to our victory: they were the (hiliarthv.
Joanne. Ituschi and Joannes 81antoni; and the Pentacosiarchs,
Vitro Prevesaqui and Iliacono Catzuri. Inclined by their courage,
and obliged by their position, they determined to conquer or die.
None deserted ; all called to mind their immortal ancestors, and
the spot on which they stood and they fought, in the name and
for the consolidation of their beloved and revered Government'
for which alone all must combat who really love and desire true
liberty. Your obedient fellow.cit igen.
