his firmness ar.d energy, defeated the plots of the wicked. E'er?,
thing had returned to order. It is to be desired that a Sotereig,,
such as the e:ultati, all whose orders and limning only br•tithe mad_
ness and clemency, may reign long for the happiness of the KAI..
No one is ignorant that his Highness has always eontionted the
disorders of his armies.

OUT tiovemor. limas) Paella, has received orders to enrol
five thousand Janiasaries, who will march to the new camp,
which is to operate a landing on Samoa. There are better auguries
of this new army, which will be only contposed of Janissaries, men
less sanguinary, and less disposed to rillage.•
A French ship from Stanchio, saw the fiesta of the Guitar
Paella and the Egyptian Generalissimo, in the harbour of that
isla9d. The united squadrons was detained by concert" winds,
which had for t...nte time prevailed. The moat 'lmre discitiloie

Three times the Ottoman mioadmn, which was before manes,
advanced towards the Greeks, and chased them; and three times
the tireeks, by their gond tuanulteres, and with the aid of that
fire-ships, obliged the Turks to retreat.
The Capitan !'ache made the fourth signal to advance on the
enemy, but all was uselsss. the sailors were panic-struck, and the
'vessels abandoned the action; nev,r did the Greeks corer them-

CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 11.

The silence which the Turkish Government preserves respecting
the events alrewlv so well known to have occurred at salons, serves
but to confirm the truth of what lh.s baen stated. A multitude
of private letters agree in giving the following details on this
subject :
It was on the 17th .'eueust that the Capitan Paeha attempted to
disembark a corps of Itt,lhti men at Samos. The Greeks allowed
the Turkish fleet toaapproach. and then attacked it with indescri-
bable courage. They waled in line Unarmed vessels, preceded by
tire-ships. In a moment a Turkish frigate of 46 Pins, and many
brigs and corvettes, were a prey to the flames and the most newer.
dons exploitions.—All the crews perished.
The Alusselmen, seized with terror, were eager to get away
The alarm was also so great at the camp of Scala Nuova, which is
situated on tin' shore, and but a gun-shot front the scene of action,
that the herbaria's who composed it took to flight. They fled in
all directions, and some did not rally till they were near Carina.
As for the Capitan Paella, not considering himself safe at Caps
Saint Maria, he proceeded to cut anchor at Boudmum. Hasing
subsequently learned that the Greeks had detached eighteen Taub
against the Egyptians he ventured again to approach Samos, but
without daring to undertake any thing.
The expedition tqSamos may be regarded as abandoned.
• It stems tram this that the old camp of Asiatics at Scala
Nueva has entirely been broken up.
t It seems from this statement that after the disasters of Oar
Turkish fleet in the Lirtle llogas tor straits between Samos and
the Alain) it fled to the South and joined the Egyptian fleet,
laulis following it as far as Patmos.

The following is from the Drum'ls Oracle:—" The po-
pulation of Madrid has fluctuated in a most extraordinary
manner within twenty years. Under Charles IV. it was
estimated at 130,000 Spaniards, and 10,000 (wipers, who
exercisotl there every kind of profession. During the short
reign of Joseph Bonaparte, the number of the inhabitants
diminished one-tenth ; but under the Cortes it augmented.
As things go at present, if the plan ef expelling all the
suspects be persisted in, that superb city will soon present
the silence of the IODILS At this moment, according to
the latest intelligence, it is said that Madrid has not more
than 100,000 inhabitants; but as the exptils:on continues
with an activity that continually iheeeases, it is impossible
to say where the evil wiil stop. 11'hilst the capital of
Spain is depopulated, in constqaence of private persecution
and vengeance, the population el Brussels increases daily ;
and within ten years the. augmentation has been consi-
derable. Such is the difference between a Constitutional
Government and absolute power."
By letters from Madrid, it am ears that on the lit inst.
a party of Constitutional guellas entered the town of
Tarracon. about twelve leagues from that city, and put to
death the Alcalde, three others of the Civic Authorities,
and eleven of the townspeople. This daring act was in
revenge for the punishment of two of their comrades, who
bad been put to death at Madrid for being concerned in a
movement in favour of the Constitution. The perils'
were enabled to effect their retreat from Tarracou without
molestation.
Letters from Gibraltar, dated S:pt. 24, state that the
very tine Amerian ship Nancy, Captain Silby, took fire on
Sunday afternoon, the 19th. and was totally burnt, as also
the cargo, consisting of .5,500 barrels of flour. and a post
many linen goods ; the cargo was valued a: 30.000 dollars,
or 10,000/. sterling. She was to have gone on to Marseilles,
and from that place to Chili. There was a very great
stock of American flour in stores, from several arrivals
lately ; business generally very dull.
The first packet established by this Government to run
to La Guayra and Carthagena is nearly ready for sea. She
has been built calif., s=ly for the purpose, and in point of
sailing, is sup post d to be the fastest aas.,el in the service ;
she is named the Colombia, commanded by Captain Jones,
carries eight guns, and is well supplied with small arms,
with a picked crew. The emigration to the New H or!cl
is so gnat, that she is complete in her complement of IlA-
twngers, and will leave the river on Monday, not intending
to wait for a cargo. The internal fittings-up are of tbe
most elegant description, and between decks the spare :s
upwards of aix feet.
The following deplorable event happened on the Stl inst.
in the department of the Ain:—M. L---, a yoong phy•
sician of Toissey, was married about firteen days ago, to a
voting and rich widow. Ile went to Villiers with her and
' his sister in a earriag,e. At St. Ronteins it was vecesse
to pass the Saone in a bark. Ile was imprudent en.'us!:
not to get down before the horses SAW the beat in moue:
and in a fright plunged into the stream. The cons.'-
(pence was, that the two females were drowned in spite .•
the most active and prompt assistance. M. L—
dragged out of the water in half an hour afterwards,
living, but in a state that leaves no hope of his recover:4-
'llle event has cast a gloom over the whole neighbotarbod•
