Three o'clock, p.m.

The Paris papers of Thursday last discredit the
•accounts from Vienna, in the journals of the pre-
ceding day, of the defeat of Ypsilanti. The rumour
npppears to have arisen from a corps of 2000 Greeks,
under Cantaeuzene, having been routed near Basco
by th 6 Pucka of Ibrail.—Letters from Smyrna, of
the 20th of May, mention, that tranquillity was so
far restored, that the Christian families who had fled
to the vessels in the harbour for protection on the
first ulurn►, wensiuned by the entrance of the Turks,
had ventured to return to their habitations. They
were not, however, destitute of fear of becoming
the victims of those barbarians, and remained in
that quarter of the city appropriated to the resi-
deace of' the Franks, which, as it consists of ono
large street, ranging along the sea shore, rendered
flight easy on the approach of danger. The wealthy
Greeks, however, to avoid the rapacity of the Turks,
had fled trop, Smyrna, but those of the poor class,
who felt secure from their indigence, bad opened
their shops and were transacting business as usual.
The Lng of Prussia, travelling under the name
of Count de Ruppin, arrived on the sth of this

May, which destroyed the cotton press-house of
Messrs. Hent and Gerham, and several adjoining

-bales of cotton, is estimated at 100,000 dollars. The
town of Omoa, in the bay of Honduras, was almost
totally deqroyed by fire on the 14th of April, only
18 houses bovine, been left standing out of 268 ; the

Intelligencer contains a notice from the Secretary of

is 700,000 dollars. The Lyme, from Belfast, with
800 passengers, fin. Quebec, is stated to have gone
on shore near the mouth of the Saguenay, in the

An article from The Citracsa Comra4 says, that
Bolivar had proposed to the Spanish La Torre a
renewal of the armistice for three months, which the
latter is said to have rejected with disdain, tearing
in pieces the despatches of the patriotic General,
and peremptorily ordering the bearer to depart,
under pain of losing his head. The American
journalists, however, doubt this intelligence. There
was a report in the United States, brought through
Vera Cruz, that the inhabitants of Lima had opened
their gates to the Chilton forces.
An unfortunate event happened on the 20th of
last month in the Commune of Biunique] (Turn and
Garonne). While the workmen were blowing up
some stone in a quarry to mend the road at Alby,
a mass of earth fell and buried the men employed.
The latter were taken out without much injury, but
Jinn. young girls of the Commune of Negrepellise,
who also were buried under the enormous mass,
were taken out nearly dead. One of them expired,
and the others have received dreadful wounds.
