• CONSTANTINOPLE, JUN e 2f —The cause of ha-
Inanity has at lenith found avengers; the Captain
Pscha is no more. The evening of the festival of
the Bairsm, the 2:td of June, three Greek fire-sleips
approached the Turkish fleet, under a friendly flag.
The Turks, occupied with the pleasures of the festi-
val, allowed them to come close to the Admiral's
ship; the Greeks set fire to them by means of burn-
iag matches; a general disorder filowed, and every
one sought his safety ; the Captain Pacha, half
burnt, was disembarked on the coast of Scio, where
be caused so much calamity; but he yielded his last
sigh half an hour after. 'Three ships of the line
have teen greatly damaged, the others fled in every
direction. history will hand down to posterity the
courage of the Greek seamen. The Porte has hi-
therto concealed this event, to avoid disorders ; but
the Sultan has already named the successor of the
Captain Pacha; it is Cara Nlehmet, Tobsehi Pachu,
retired commandant of aitillery, now at Patras.
SEM LI N, JULY 2.—lt is reported at Belgrade that
the Greeks have taken Larissa, the capital of Thes-
salv, by stoirn.
'Private letters from Bitoglia say, that the war in
Epirus, Thessaly, and the Mores, assumes a still
more sanguinary character. Whoever falls into the
bands of the enemy is put to death. The events at
-.Seat have excited a real desperation in the Greeks,
and at the state time the most heroic courage. Gun.
Normann is said to have arrived before Arta on the
3111, and to have united with the Sanas.
FRONTIERS OF ITALY, JULY 9.•••••ACCOUTAS just
received from the Levant state, that in fact no naval
battle had taken place between the Greeks and Turks,
but the former had, however, captured five Turkish
men of war, and a number of transports, with men
• on board, which were destined to reinfbree the Turk-
ish garriSontain the island of Candia: three of the
Turkish men of war had run aground. It is sated
also, that a Turkish ship of the line has foundered,
and two corvettes and a frigate stranded. The sta-
' prone g ivernment of Hydra has issued a bulletin,
stating that the fleets of hydra, Spczzia, and I psara,
Lad twice offered the Captain Pasha battle, at
Tseheme, but that he hail declined the challenge;
that the Greeic fleets were again cruising in the Ar-
thipelugo, and would be joined by the other vessels,
which had been fitted out in the island during the
last two months. The Captain Pasha, on the other
hand, is said to have received reinforcements from
Constantinople. The Egyptian flotilla was still in
the harbour of Alexandria, and observed by a divi-
sion of the Greek fleet. These accounts do nut
mention the Captain Paella's return to the Darda-
nelles. M. agam, the French consul at Seio, who
beha%ed so well on the unhappy catastrophe, and
saved the lives of so many Greeks, makes bitter
complaints of the conduct of the cruel Capt. Paella.,
and these who command under him, for having s
notoriously and scandalously violated the ainnesty
which he had promised. The report of the regard
pretended to have been shcwu for the Catholic
churches at Scio is positively contradicted; they
have been destroyed as well us the Greek churches;
only the church of the French consulate had been
Awed. Notwithstanding all the assurances in fa-
vour of foreigners given at Constantinople, many
French merchants, who had previously arranged
their affairs, left the capital in the first half of June,
because there was every appearance that a new ca-
tastrophe was at hand, which threatened the capital,
and especially the quarter of Vera.
AIX -LA-CHAPELLE, JULY 11.—Ic is affirmed that
a person of distinction, belonging to one of the I.e-
gati at Constantinople, hits written to a mercan-
tile house at Odessa, that it was generally reported
at Per*, that after an extraordinary meeting of the
Divan, ut which all the great men of the empire
were present, the Iteis Etlbndi had delivered to the
Mini.-tent of Englund and Au- trig a note of the high-
est importance, thevontents of which are of such a
nature that it will probably put an ens to all the
uncertainty which has so lung prevailed respectin •
the affairs of the East. •
BERLIN, JULY 16,—The fair at Nuremberg has
turned out better than was expected. Several r-
hants the north of Germany wero present, and
in particular several thousand cwt. of Engliab goods 1
ace stated to have bees sold.
