extract of a letter from that place, dated April 23,
received here from at person in high rank in the Co-
lumbian army

" Olt the 17th we fell in with the force under
Col. Tello, consisting of the battalion of Hosterlitz,
and the light companies of Barium, which we com-
pletely deti!ated. Ty complete the work we only
want Morslas, and consegnontly Puerto Cabello
must fall into our power, which will absolute liberty
to the whole of Columbia."
The last arrival from Coro brings accounts from
that no vessel would be sllowed to touch on the
coast in the possession of the Colombians, for the
space of fourteen days. This measure bad been
adopted as a further petventative to the escape by
sea of Morales or his troops.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 26—The cause of hu-
manity has at length found avengers; the Captain
Pacha is no more. The evening of the festival of
the Bairam, the 2.2 d of June, three Greek fire-ships
approached the Turkish fleeteuialer 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-
ing matches; a general disorder fel:owed, and every
one sought his safety ; the Captain Pacha, half
burnt, was &embarked on the coast of Scio, where
he caused so much calamity ; but he yieided his last
sigh half an hour after. Three ships of the line
have been greatly damaged, the others fled in every
direction. History will hand down to postCrity 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 Nam; it is Cara Mehmet, Tobsehi.
retired commandant of artillery, now at Patras.
SEMLIN, JULY 2.—lt is reported at Belgrade that
the Greeks have taken Larissa, the capital of Thes-
saly, by storm.
Private letters from Bitoglia say, that the war in
Epirus, Thessaly, and the Morea, assumes a still
more sanguinary character. Whoever tldls into the
hands of the enemy is put to death. The events at
Seio have excited a real desperation in the Greeks,
and at the same time the most heroic courage. Gen.
Normann is said to have arrived bofore Arta on the
13th, and to have united with the Suliots.
FRONTIERS OF ITALY, JULY just
received from the Levant state, that in fact no naval
battle had taken place between theC reeks and Turks,
but the former had, however, captured five Turkish
men of war, and a number of transports, with men
on beard, which were destined to reinforce the Turk-
ish garrisons in the island, of Cunha: three of the
Turkish men of war had run aground. It is Eated
also, that a Turkish ship of the liar' has foundered,
and two corvettes and a kigate stranded. The su-
preme government of Hydra has issued a bulletin,
stating that the fleets of I lydra, Spezzia, and I psara,
had twice °fibre& the Captain Piaui battle, ut
Tscheme, but that he bad declined the challenge;
that the Greek fleets were again cruising in the Ar-
chipelago, and would be joined ply the other vessels,
which had been fitted out in the island during the
last two mouths. The Captain Pacha, 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 not
mention the Captain Pachft's return to the Darda-
nelles. 111 thg.ain, the French consul at Seio, who
behated so well on the unhappy catastrophe, and
saved the lives of so many Greeks, makes bitter
complaints of the conduct of the fuel .Copt. Pacha,
and those who counnand under 14, for having ao
notoriously and scandalously e d the amnesty
which he had promised, The. tof the regard
pretended to have been shewu fur the Catholic
churches at Seto is positively contradicted; they
have been destroyed as well as the Gteek churches;
only the church of the French; copsulaie had been
spared. Notwithstanding all 11.0.4surances in fa-
vour of ffireigners given at Coirstantinop!e, many
French merchants, who had „previously arranged
their affairs, left the capital in the first half of June,
because there was every appearance. that u new ca-
tastrophe was at hand, which threatened the capital,
and esjecialiy the quartar of Perin
