remains of 25,000 who entered the Peloponnestss.
1 he (;reek flag •ffies over the lower fort of Napoli,
end in the upper thttress (Pa'smith), about 5,000
Turks of both sexes arc Aut. up, of whom only
1,500 bear arms. The last attempt of the Turkish
Let, commanded by the new Capitan Paella, to re-
lieve the fortress, having fdled, it is hoped that want
of provisions must soon force it-to surrender, espe•
cially us the Greeks proved on that occasion, that
with their slight merchant vessels they arc able, even
in the open sea, to oppose a valiant and successful
reaistance to the combined Turkish, Egyptian, and
Mikan naval force. It is, however, with regret we
learn, that nscrchantmen, hearing the flag of one of
the first Continental Powers, have been freighted ut
Smyrna by the Turks, and laden with provisions
and ammunition, IQ be convoyed by ships of war of
the same power into the harbour of Napoli; but
this last circumstance cannot he positively affirmed.
For some time it has been observed that the English
Government has adopted a different system towards
the Greeks, in some measure opposed to that they
l'cfure followed, and it is even affirmed that the
Greeks have received indirectly support from that
quarter. The Sletubers of the Greek Senate intend
to fix their residence fiit a time in Tripoliaa, where
several of them have already arrived."

NEW YORK, Nov. 213:—We learn by the brig
Georgetown Packet, Captain Rathbone, from La
Guayra, that the Royal General Morales had eva-
cuated 111arasavlao, and returned to his old quarters
at Porto Cabello. It appears that General Montilla
had concentrated his forces at Rio de la Hatche, and
marched immediately against Morales, who must
hare fallen an easy prey had he attempted to con-
test the point. The patriot forces entered Mara-
caybo on the 19th of September. President Bolivar
and General Irlivereaux were daily expected from
Quito, when it was expected that active and vi-
gorous measures would be concerted for a speedy
reduction of Porto Cabello.

No• 13.—A gentleman in Philadelphia has re-
ceived the following, under date of May 10 :-
" The Emperor of China, having by some means
diseovered the disgraceful conduct of the Mandarins,
at and about Canton, has just issued an Imperial
Deeree-(which like that of the ledeos and Persians,
is irrevocable) to the high officers about the Court,
to inquire into the conduct of these people, and to
rqurt correctly the nature of the transaction with
the English at Liutin, as well as our own attlir at
Whamlust, end the meas!tres which have been pur-
sued with regard to the introduction of opium.
Thirty Mandarins are already imprisoned, and how
many more will be impossible to tbresee.
'• This examination, it is expected by every one
here, will produce important results, and finally
place tote intercourse of foreigners upon a different
footing► from herctcfore—perhaps their expulsion
and interdiction. _ _

" It must be evident to the government of this
country, that since the opening of their ports to
strangers, luxury, vice, immorality, and in gene-
ral poverty, have lOllowtd in their tr..in. Tice most
mi:taken idea in the world is generally entertained
of commerce to this country, us greatly enriching
this people, and impoverishing others. The balance
of trade is but little in their taveur in amount, and
the importation of manufactured goods, r:tw cotton,
and opium, to the amount of twelve or fifteen mil-
lions annually, and daily increasiog, strikes a blow
at the very essence of their government. This state
of things is feared by the Mandarins, and what Inca.:
sures they may adopt to avoid it, is yet in the womb
of futurity: but 1 think this-r-I may venture to
assure you, that our troubles in China have but
commenced, and you may hear of important mut-
ters before lonx."
Nonrota, Nov. 4.—There is some misrepresen-
tation in the accounts heretofore given, relative to
the British schooner Speedwell, it Wing stated that
she was found by the Peacock aground on a rock,
and surrounded by the pirates, in which situation
she would have been inevitably captured by them
but for the coming up of the Peacock. It appears,
however, that she, had joined company with the
Peacock and Louisiana cutter, and that she was
:,:anding in shore with the latter iu pursuit of the
pirate when she grounded.
