disturbances broke out. An embargo has been
renewed within' those four days on all vessels in
this port, they are crowded with Europeans and
their families from the shore, in consequence of the
alarm lately excited. A Turkish ship of the line
has been destroyed by fire, after an attack by a
number of Greek vessels, off Mytelene, in which
the Greeks lost many ships. They continue, as
far as we have learnt, to maintain neutrality to all
European flags.
Extract of a letter from the Agents to Lloyd's at
Constantinople, dated 25th June:—" The Turkish
fleet having proceeded as far as Mytelese, has been
driven by the Greek squadron within the castles of
the Dardanelles, where it is waiting reinforcements,
now preparing with great activity. The Greeks
have destroyed one man of war, and according to
report, have taken a frigate?'

We have received, by the Leeward Island mail,
New York papers from the 20th to the 24th ult.
and Kingston Journals to the 4th of June, contain-
ing intelligence of much importance. The revolu-
tion in Spanish South America has spread with the
rapidity of a contagion throughout the whole of
Peru, and may be said to be universal. According
to the intelligence brought by the mail, the successes
of the Independents have been extremely rapid, as,
In addition to the full of the City of Caracas, it is
again asserted that they have captured Lima. A re-
volution has taken place in Mexico against the Spa-
nish authorities, where a Colonel and a Bishop were
denounced by Capodaca, the Viceroy. About
300,000 milled dollars, and two millions of other
property, fell into the hands of the patriots at Santa
Fe. Accounts of the capture of Lima, by Lord
Cochrane and General San Martin, ha been re-
ceived at Panama by the arrival of a small schooner
from Porto Bello at Kingston, in Jamaica. The full
of Lima will decide the contest on the west side of
South America in favour of the Patriots.

Letters from Zante, dated the 24th of June,
communicate the latest accounts of the state of afbirs
in the Mores. On the Ist of that month, in con-
sequence ( t the appearance of a Greek squadron of
23 sail of Patrus, an official notice was transmitted
from the Pacha to those European Consuls who still
remained in the place, that he could no longer be
responsible for their safety : he expected to be at-
tacked both by sea and land, in which case he should
set fire to and destroy the remains of' the town, and
retire into the citadel. The fierce then with him
consisted of 4,000 men. It had subsequently been
diminished by a detachment set to the relief of Lalla,
which was besieged by a united force of Greeks and
lonians, amounting to near 6,000 men. The latter
now openly espouse the canseof the Greeks, whom
they have joined in great numbers since the breaking
out of the insurrection. The Turks were much
straitened by the want of corn, and it was believed
that, it closely blockaded, none of their fortresses in
the Mores, with the exception of Napoli di Romania,
and Corinth, could long hold out. Up to the 2:/c1
of June, however, the Greeks had nut effected the
reduction of any them. At that date, too, the Greek
fleet remained before Lepanto, without having
struck a blow of the least importance
