The Aug:burgh Gazelle, outlet the date of Trieste,
July 18 and 19, gives the fallowing intelligence:—
Letters from Corfu, of the leih July, announce that Ibrahim
Pacha had possessed himself of Tripolizza, after a strong resistance
on the part of the elder Colocotroni. He afterwards continued his
march upon Argos. &era! actions were
_previously fought, but
all of them to the disadVannige bf the Greelut. Every thing
caws that their energies are paralysed.
While all the accounts of the maritime operations of the
Greeks against the Turks speak only of victories, the most recent
information from Corfu, of the 9th July, states, that Ibrahhu
Paella continual his 'chalices into the Attires. The conqueror in
several actions which he lied with the two Coloeotronis, fathes and
son, 1135 marched upon Tripolizza. An soon as the Greeks saw
time impossibility of mint that capital they set fire to it with their
own hands, lifter having before destroyed all the •illages that lay
In their mete. Ibrahim Paella afterwards entered Tripoli/re, and
continued his vfittorious march as far as Argos. However alarming
this intelligent! may be for the Greek cause, It is no longer pss..
shale to doubt the fidelity of Colocotroni, for all his property
lying in the t ntirona of Tripolirsa, lie himself gars up to de.
struction.

Persons. who describe themselves to have been eye witnesses,
who left Alissolonghi two clays ago, assert that Rcdschid Pada
has raised the siege of that place, and retired upon l'rechori, its
consequence of a sortie of the garrison, by w:.ich he experienced,
it is said, a very considerable loss: if we give credence to Me
Greek reports, it will appear that (amine and the continual cornball
which he has sustained have put it out of his power to undertake
any frtah enterprise. It must certainly Le ennftett that ttle Tr.
verses of the Capitan Paella, shish have hitlittso prevented him
from coming to the assistance of the Seraskier, must neceasardy
have a greet influence on the operations of the latter.

We hare received the following particulars from a traveller, who
left Athens at the end of May :

order that had come from Constantinople, and to bring him dead
or alive to Negropont. This plan was to be executed that night.
Odysseus quickly took his resolution, concerted with his few
followers a 'pretended! tight, pursued them with loud cries, and
in this manner happily escaped before the Turks well knew
what was the matter. Ile hoped to be well-treated by his
countrymen, as they happened to be some of those who had tot-

and led him past the cavan•where the family of Odysseus and hit
brother-in-law still reside. An attempt was made to induce them
to give up this retreat, but it failed. Hereupon Odysseus was sent
to Megara, where the people were going to stone him to death, and
he was saved only by his guards covering him with their cloaks.
From blegara be was brought to Salamis. and on the I Ith of
May to Athens. In the streets of that city a woman struck him is

EXTR.4ORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCE. 1
___......_
On Monday last a most miraculous circumstance, which siw
has been the subject of conversation ever since in that part
of the town, took place at the house of Mr. Philpot, a
fruiterer, of No. 23, Great Mary-la-bonne-street, Manehts- T 1
ter-square.-James Martin, a fine little boy abt.ut five u
years of ageison to a gen:leman's coachman, who t ccapits n
an
apartments in the above house, was left at home by its
tl
parents under the care of his sister, a girl about 1.1 years of
tl
age, who, having occasion to go out, left the little urchin
in the room. During her absence he locked the door of the td
apartment, and on her return he refused to admit her. She ti
requested of him repeatedly to put the key under the doer, pi
thinking that lie did not know how to +nuke: it; but Is: nB
told her that he was going to throw himself cut of the
tI
window. She paid no attention to this threat until Le
ei
said " here goes," which alarmed her, and lie threw -rn
out a pair of' pincers, which fell on the pavement.-
Mrs. Philpot was standitig opposite the door at the time, ti
o
speaking to a female friend, and she said," what a shame it t
is to throw such things out of the window, it might split a
any person's skull open ;" and on !coking, up she saw ssme-
u
thing else falling, which proved to be the key of the door. et
On looking up at the third floor window they saw some-
in a
thing white, on which Mrs. Philpot said, " here come;
tl
a bundle of rags," she had no sooner uttered the
words than the child was seen falling, and her friend s
exclaimed, " My Cl,o it.,is a child !" Mrs. Philpot, who is
a stout woman, was riot tut' to the spot through the
t!
chock she received; and fortunately the child, instead of h,
falling on the stones, fell on her Uri ast and shoulder, its st
arm just slipping on the neck, and it then fell lightly on
the pasement ; Mrs. Philpot was considerably injured by
tl
the child falling on her. The child was stunned : it was tl
carried to Dr. Burnet's, of Mary-'.a-tonne-street, who ap- a
plied leeches to its head, and restored it to its senses, and h,
it was taken home and put to bed ; it was not spoken to
an
all night, but the following morning, at the breakfast
AG
hour, he called for, it and ate hearty. On being spoken
