of the raising of the siege by land ; the retreat of the Seraskier
to Vraehori, &c.

We have just received the following letter :
ConFu, AUG. 23.—Great as the joy was which the pre-
tended raising of the siege of illissolonghi excited in the Greeks
and their friends here, it was easily to be foreseen that it would
not be of long duration. A Greek who arrived here yesterday,
and has come from those parts, says, " that the Seraskier had
asembled his troops, that they amount to 25,000 men, that he is
most actively preparing to press Missolonglii harder than ever,
and will probably soon make another attempt to storm the
place, or had perba.na already done so.
" The Captain Paella's fleet, consisting. of twelve frigates,
thirteen corvettes, and. fifteen brigs and schooners, steered on
the sth from the vicinity of Illissolonghi towards the south, to
escort, it is said, the fifth Egyptian Expedition from Candia to
the Peleponessus, fourteen other ships, viz.—one corvette, four
brigs, four schooners, and five transports remain in the Gulf of
Patras. On the 6th, the Greek fleet, under Sachtury, consist-
ing of thirty-seven sail, of which fifteen are fire-ships, and on
the 10th, eight sail more, under illiauli, sailed for Missolonghi,
also steering towards the south."
The Post from Constantinople, which left on the 25th of
August, only two days after the last expresses, has brought no-
thing new from the theatre of war. The Americas squadron
cast anchor, on the 218 t of August, in the Roads of Smyrna,
having previously obtained permission from the Governor.

Brussels Papers to the 28tl► Sept. arrived this

morning, but contain ►►othing of any importance.
They have, however, some news from Greece,
which we have subjoined, stating that an expe-
dition of 3000 Greeks was forming at Hydra to
go to the assistance of Crete, which, it seems;
had risen against the prrrisons left there by
fnitampf, and some speculations on the subject
of the offer made by the Provisional Government
to England. We subjoin the s atement without
further remark :
VaANicroaT, SEPT. 211—News from Zante of the 4th Sep-
tember confirm the statement, that the Greeks are preparing
at Hydra an expedition of 3000 men, to make a landing in
Crete, where the Greek population has risen in many districts,
and the garrisons left by Ibrahi►p are much weakened.
There was a report at Napoli di Romania that the 3000
Egyptians entrenched at Arachova being cut off from all com-
munication, have been annihilated by Colocotconi. This
news, which is very probable, his not been officially commu-
nicated.

VIENNA, SEPT. 17.-It seems to be the firm persuasion'
here, that the step taken by the Greeks in applyin,, to the Ca-
binet of St. James's, will have no other result than that of
drawing still closer the ties which have for some time subsisted
between the Greeks and the English : that it is no part of the
policy of the latter to interfere with the independence of Greece,
though a report has already been apread that it was intended to
give to that country a government in the model of that of the
lonian Islands. All these circumstances, howeVer, strongly
excite the attention of our Government; and Dispatches are
said to have been sent to London from the Foreign Office,
which are chiefly relative to the insults which the Greek ma-
rine constantly puts on vessels under the Austrian flag; which
navigate the Archipelago.
No secret is now made of the changes that have taken
.place
in the affairs of Greece since the resistance of Missolonghi and
the flight of the Captain Paella. The defeat of ItedsChid
Dacha and that of the Egyptian corps before Napoli di Ro-
mania, have destroyed the hopes of the Porte, which will be
obliged to commence a new campaign in the spring.

This day we have the satisfaction of publishing
the details of the Capture of the Fort and Ca-
pital of Arracan. The news of the fall of this
fortress had reached England some weeks back,
and the official intelligence is now given, to-
gether with some further advices from Bombay
received last night, and which bring down
the news from the Ist of May, when the
Calcutta Journals left it the I4th of the same
month. We have much pleasure in record-
ing the conduct of the native troops upon
this occasion, who seethed to have Vied with
their British comrades in displaying that
spirit of resistance and determined bravery
that has so often led the latter to victory and
success. The assault upon the enemy's position,
after their retreat upon the t.).Stlt, deserves to be
particularly mentioned, not only for the skill
with which the attack was planned, but for the
cool courage which animated the troops on at-
tempting a pass so strongly fortified by nature
and art, and which, it is observed, would in
the hands of a few regulars defend Arracan
against any army. We will not anticipate the
pleasure of our Rpaders by detailing any more of
these interesting dispatches, but simply refer to
them in preceding columns. The Bombay
Papers state the disposition of the army, and
say that Brigadier-General MCBEAN has pro.-
ceeded with 2,000 men to capture Ramree. Part
of the force under General MonitisoN is to pro.
ceed towards the Irrawaddy, and the remainder
will be cantooned in the neighbourhood of Ar-
recall. No further accounts have been receive 4
from Denobew, but a report prevails that its fall
had been beard of by General MoniusoN.

New York Papers have been received to the
3d instant by the Josephine, arrived at LiverpOol.
The Leader from Carthagena had brought papers of that
place to the Ist of August, Bogota Gazettes to the 14th of July,
and verbal accounts from Lima to the 17th of June. Accord_
ing to these, Callao continued in possession of the Royalists,
but it was expected to surrender About the middle of August,
on account of the want of provisions. Admiral GUISE, who
was some time ago arrested for exceeding his powers, was in
prison at Lima. BOLIVAR was still in Upper Peru. General
PAEZ had written a lette.r to the Executive at Bogota, demand-
ing satisfaction, in consequence of what he considered an attack
on his character by a member of this Colombian Congress, who
had moved that the General should be accused before the Se-
nate for declaring Venezuela under martial law. Although the
motion for accusation was not acceded to, there appeared no dis-
position on the part of Congress to give up the rights of its
members to full indemnity, secured to them by the Constitu-
tion of their expressions in the Chambers.
\ire perceive, from the Washington papers, that Commodore
PORTER is allowed leave of absence, according to his own re-
quest, during the six months of his suspension, and his full pay
and rations during the same period.
By accounts from 3lobilc of the 9th of August, the yellow
fever raged there with such violence, that the citizens were fly-
ing from the place with all possible dispatch.

towby, Liverpool, Westmorland, and Bathurst ;

Chancellor of the Exchequer, Viscount Melville,
