concluded., and- the whole law passed by a ma-
jority of 267 to. 78. Many important petitions
remained to be considered, but the Ultras and
Ministerialists would not admit of any further
business after the passing of the supplies, and
the adjoUrnment of the House to the day when
the Session shall be closed, after the adoption of
the Budget by. the Peers, was carried by the
union of the Centre and the Right, and in the
midst of great confusion, the Right exclaiming

.The Frankfort Papers contain an Austrian
statement of the destruction of the Capitan
Pacha, by the :heroism and et►terprize of the
Greeks, which confirm in every essential parti-
cular the Greek account of this gallant affair.
It appears thatthe attempt was made on the
night of the -18th of June, and not on that of the
19th, as originally-reported. Two fire-shipS at-
tacked the Turkish Admiral at two o'clock in
the morning ; one of them was fastened by its
crew to the left battery of the vessel, to which it
set fire, but after a time. the. Turks succeeded
cutting her off. Whilst they were occupied with
that service, and consternation reigned on board,
the other passed unseen to the right side, which
it promply set in a blaze. The fire then gained
ground so rapidly that nil attempts to check it
proved unavailing. In three-quarters of an
hour it reached the powder magazine, and the
vessel blew up .With a terrible explosion. The
Capitnn•Pachar;who had been seriously wounded
and was unwilling to quithis ship, had' been' pre-
viously carried off by some -faithful attendants
in a.-boat ; but -the fall of a mast, which inflicted.
A mortal wound oti his head, sunk the boat, and-
he was brought to the shore on a piece of wreck,
pushed or drawn by those of his attendants who
could swim. He died an hour after being landed,
and was buried the next morning in the. Castle of
Selo. Of crew of his ship, which consisted of
2,1286 individuals, carcely2oo escaped. Two other
ships of the line and a frigate were almost entirely
destroyed. The Greek crews,: after atchieviug
this eiplOit,'sttcCe.eded, in the midst of the. confu-
Sion and-alarm 'which prevailed, in passing safely
in their boats throUgh the remainder of the Turk-
.
ish fleet, and in returning to Ipsara, where the
intelligence was celebrated by salvos of artillery,
which lasted a whole hour, and the sound of
which was heard from the coast of Scio, During
the night of the:l9th, the Turkish troops, in
order to avenge the death of tl►e Capitan Pacha,
attacked the Foreign Consulates in that. island,
but they were
.repulsed ; the next day, how-
ever, they committed great cruelties amongst the
surviving inhabitants of the village of Mastic.

The fears which. we expressed on Saturday of
the tendency to renewed outrage in Ireland, ap-
pear to have been but too well founded. The
spirit of insubordination anti disturbance has re-
appeared in several quarters with great violence
and ferocity: Amongst' the criminal atrocities
brought to our knowledge by the arrival of Irish
papers this morning, is an attempt which was
made on' Sunday se'nnight to assassinate ANDREW
BATwr.t.t., E*, &Magistrate of the County of
Limerick, who had that morning torn down one
