FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 26.—The Greeks are
_in au intoxication of joy. The Tartars (couriers)
have brought the news that Chourschid
,Pacha,
who had called to arms all the inhabitahts of
Macedonia, to the number of 70,000 men, has
experienced great checks. lie repulsed the
Greeks on the 7th July with a. considerable loss,
• but the next day .he suffered a total defeat. It
is said that -four:Pashas have been matle pri-
soners, but the Porte still conceals the dispatches
it has received, especially from the Foreign Mi-
nisters.

Chourschid Pacha had joined the Pachas of
Negropont, Larissa,. and Janina. ills forces
were estimated at 90,000 men, but a great part
were undisciplined militia and banditti. The
Greeks were commanded by the brave Odysseus
(who died for his country in the fight of the 7th
July), Generals Ypsilanti, Norman, and Baz-
zaris. Chourschid Pacha, who had already sent
to the Porte a Tartar to announce the extermina-
tion of the Ghiaours, imprudently iwvolved him-
self in the defiles of Zittury (Thermopylx) on
the one side, and in those of Neopatria on the
other.

The•G reeks had formed an ambuscade, and
--..hegan the ;battle with the courage of true Spar-
tans. -The -three Pachas were made prisoners,
and Chourschid Pacha saved himself with 4,000
men towards Larissa. Accounts, perhaps exag-
gerated, estimate the loss of the Ottomans at
-50,000 men, that of the Greeks at 18,000. The
-consequences 'of this event may be very impor-
•• tant. General Count Norman was saluted .by
the (reeks as the Heroic Prince; they carried
-him on shields across their camp.—(Allgenteine
Zeitung.)
CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 26. Immediately
after the last post, the nomination of the new nos-
podars of Wallachia and 'Moldavia has been oil-
daily announced. They are preparing to depart,
-and in order to avoid the troubles of Constan-.
tinople, they will receive their horse tails, the
mark of their dignity at Adrianople. The Pacha
of Silistria will put the Kuga (Prince's cap) on
them.' They will be accompanied, it is-said, by
'2,000 Turks,.for a guard, which is , contrary to
the treaty of Bucharest. Their agents will he all
, Turks, and they -will be subjected to the Seras-
, iffier of Silistria, .so that they will only have a
. shadow of power.
We enjoy here a great degree of tranquillity;
. commerce recovers a little ; a Russian Ambas-
sador is expected, and nothing.more:is said of a
. difference between the two-Courts.
Some days ago the Porte recalled the Firmans
which had been granted to several French,ves-
, sels destined for Odessa, under. thepretext that
many French were serving with the Insurgents in
the Morea. The French Ambassador, M.Latour-
.Maubourg, has made remonstrances which have
hitherto been without effect.
SEMLIN, JULY 18.--=News from Belgrade,
which arrived yesterday, announces
,that the
-Greeks obtained a very important victory
.on the
-Bth of July at Patrazig, between Larissa and
-Salona.- -Letters from Bitoglia of the 16th of
July say, that three Pachas; and among them
.the cruel Drain-Ali, have been taken prisoners,
with 11,000 Turks. The number of the killed
'is said to be still greater. The Greeks were
_commanded by the .Generals Ypsilanti, Nor-
. 'halm, and Bozares. The brave Ulysses was
,killed.—(Gazette d'Augsburg.)
WARSAW, AUG, 8.,--(Extract of a Private Letter.)—" The
_Emperor will leave Petersburgh on the 16th to go to Warsaw,
and thence to Vienna. He will be accompanied by Count
:Nasselrode, Secretary of State, a Secretary, and three Generals
Aid-de-Camps. ,
Great measures against all the Carbonari of Europe are
Spoken of as about to occupy the Congrns, but we cannot ven-
ture to asserCany thing on this subject:"—(Journal des Debats.)
PARIS, AUG. 24.—The French Academy began
to-day, according to custom, the celebration of
the festival of Saint Louis, by a low mass, which
was performed at half past ten in the morning,
at the parochial and Royal Church of St. Ger-
main l'Auxerrois. The Bishop of Hermopolis
officiated. 'Several Members of the French
Academy, and other Members of the Institute,
occupied in the nave their accustomed places.
The panegyric of the King-Saint was delivered
by the Abbe Feutrier. in this discourse the
orator undertook to prove that the virtues and
great actions of St. Louis, of which he presented
an animated and.rapid, sketch, had their source
in religion, end he gave the chief glory of it to
the excellent education he had received from
queen Blanche. It appeared to us that this
ii 300 was worthy, with respect to style, of the
enlightened auditory to which it was specially ad-
dressed, and, that in• other respects it could not
but add to the reputation of one of the orators
;whose talents- now most honour the Christian
pulpits of the capital. At two o'clock the Aca-
demy opened its public sitting for the distribu-
tionof prizes.of Elcquence, Poetry, and Virtue.
The sitting was long and brilliant. The late
hour when it finished obliges' us to defer an ac-
-count of'it till to-morrow.—(Journal des Debats.)
We have not been able, on account of the
.prel-s of .ntatter, to give an account of the family
festival, which took place on Thursday at Tivoli.
After a ;banquet, the toasts and chorusses of
which joyously expressed the sentiments which
animate all „French hearts, the gates of this fine
garden were open to the Mite of the good
society of ..Paris.
.A great number of elegantly
dressed ladies , embellished all the diversions,
Which were distributed with the most agreeable
variety. The fire works, well executed, pre-
sented emblems dear to thefriends of legitimacy,
--and cries, a,thousand times repeated, of "Vine
le Rol Vivent les Bourbons !" drowned the
noise of the bombs and petards—(.Quotidienne.)
The Commission of Criminal Ir,quisition to in-
, quire into the crime of high treason, established
at Milan, has cited before it, by a publication of
the 10th of August, eleven persons of consider-
.able property in the kingdom of Lombardy.
L'Echo du Nord contains the following anec-
dote :—M. Moreau, the first counter-tenor of the
Brussels Theatre, was to be married to Made-
.moiselle Lucile Sainti, principal comic actress at
Lisle, a young lady equally remarkable for the
purity :of her manners and the beauty of her
person. The banns were once published, and

the .publication twice more was redeemed ; the
marriage as a civil contract took place, and the
future pair were preparatively admitted to confes-
sion and the sacrament. As they were proceed-
ing to the A !tar, it was announced to them that the
nuptial benediction could not be bestowed on
them, unless they renounced their profession.
The affliction of the parents of the young couple
can easily be conceived. One of the witnesses
undertook to mediate in the affair, and went to
the Church. He found the Cure, a very respect-
able man, in the Sacristy, and presented him
with a
,promise, on the part of his principals,
to renounce their profession as soon as it was
A theological discussion then ensued between
the Cure and the mediator, which terminated by
the former declaring, that he was obliged to _con-
form to his orders. The hour fixed for the mar-
riage arrived, the Altar was prepared, and the
Church failed with spectators barbing with
curiosity ; the witness returned to the expecting
pair, and, after some reflection, they addressed
the following letter to the Cure

" SlR—Educated in the principles of religion and morality,
we regard it as a duty, and as a blessing, to procure our happy
marriage to be sanctioned by the Church, and it is with great
regret that we see ourselves compelled to forego this august ce-
remony--to perform which you require us to renounce our pro-
fession. This is to expect us to perjure ourselves and our prin-
ciples. Forbid such conduct. We expect at some future time
to be more fortunate.

" We are with much regret your obedient Servants."
Mad. Morean-Sainti, here mentioned, has lately received an
order to make her, debut at the principal French Theatre.

COURT OF ASSIZE AT PARIS.

The proceedings were, resumed on the 24th August, and the
examination of witnesses at length commenced.

The first called was one GAUCIIEROT, who keeps a wine-
shop.—ile deposed to certain military persons en one occasion
having come, to drink at his house ; but could not recognise,the
prisoners, nor mention the ,exact day. The memory of this
man's wife—the second witness, was equally unavailing to the
inosecution. The next witness examined was
1W 1)E To u-sTAtx, Colonel of the 45th regiment.—lle said
it was painful to an Officer who had always treated his soldiers
like his children, to be obliged to depose against some of them;
it was a duty, however, which he was bound to discharge in
justice to those who remained faithful. He proceeded to state
that the information he had received as to the conduct of Cap-
tain Massias and Serjeant-major Buries, was extremely unfa-
vourable. The Colonel, in his deposition, entered at length
into all the circumstances which have transpired in the course
of the trial. He gave an account of the discovery made by the
accused Goussillon, in the-following terms :--" This Serjeant-
Major came one day to my house. After some immaterial re-
marks, I perceived that he was troubled; his face was pale,„
the tears swam in his eyes, and I pressed him to speak. He
then confessed that a horrid plot existed in the regimerit; that
it was intended to seize the Colonel and two Commanding Of-
ficers of the battalion, to plant the tri-coloured flag, and excite
the troops to insurrection. Goussillon gEkve me a list of the con-
spirators, saying, " I am sure to become their victim; I have
taken an oath upon a poignard,and death awaits the man who be-
trays their secret." I re-assured him.; you are guilty, said I, un-
doubtedly,but you have just done a great service to your country,
and you may reckon upon the protection and indulgence of the
Government: Ile then rose, pulled up the lower part of his
pantaloons, and withdrew from one of his half-boots the blade
Of a. poignard. Wretched man ! I exclaimed, you have
abandoned the arms of honour to take those of ruffians. He
told me that these weapons were not intended to be employed
against me, but to destroy themselves -in case of detection.

The accused BoneEs made some observations on the depo-
sition of Colonel Toustaint.

GOUSSILLON declared, that before he saw the Colonel he
had communicated what he had to say through Choulet. I
desire, said he, that the Colonel may explain this. lam acting
an infamous part here : I prefer death to infamy.
The PRESlDENT—Goussillon, I desire you to observe more
moderation in your answers. Touched with proper remorse,
you have shewn a desire to check yourself in the career of
crime. Where, then, is the infamy for a Frenchman, and a
soldier of the King, to reveal a plot formed against the Go-
vernment ?

Goussn.LoN—The affair has been represented in a much
more criminal light than it deserved to be. I said that I knew
of an Association, and that I had assisted at two meetings.—
I, drew up a declaration in six lines, which I delivered to the
Colonel.

The Colonel exhibited this declaration, which was recognised
by Goussillon, and read to the Court.

After some further examination of this witness, the Advo-
cate-General, exclaimed, Goussillon, you every moment change
your system.

Goirssua.ox—Not at all ; 1 deny all the statements made
in this accusation.

The ADVOCATE-GENERAL—YOU are compromising) your
own interests.

GoussiLL ON—What have I more to fear?

The PRESIDENT—I recommend you, Goussillon, to render
yourself worthy of the favourable situation in which the law
has placed you, in consequence of your having made a discd-
very In time.
__ _

doussiL Lox—lf I have made a discovery in time, ,why do
I stand here ?

Bales, Cocket, and Goubin, made some remarks on the de-
position of Colonel Toustaint. The other accused declined of-
ferin% any observations to the Court.

The 6urt adjourned abruptly, in consequence of the indis-
position of the President.

SMYRNA, JULY 13.—At the beginning of this month the
Ottoman fleet was cruizing off Mitylene. On the morning
of the Bth it was moored at Tenedos. Cara Mehmet Pacha,
who is appointed Capitan Pacha, is in the Morea, which may
delay the operations of the Ottoman squadron.—(The accounts
from Constantinople of the 18th have announced his death.)
The insurgents have fortified themselves still more strongly
at Ipsara, and have collected a large stock of ammunition.
The Greeks on board the two celebrated fire-ships, all
escaped in the bark with lateen sails, of which we have spoken.
They had in the middle of them a large barrel of powder,
ready to set it on fire, and blow up any ship of war that might
have detained them, for in their heroic devotedness they had
foreseen the possibility of being taken, in which case they were
resolved to make their death useful to their nation by destroy,.
ing another of the enemy's vessels.
The extraordinary circumstance of these two fire-ships, one
of which burnt the Admiral's ship, and the other had nearly
blown up two other vessels, has produced great enthusiasm
among the islanders, and raised their pretensions to an extraor-
dinary pitch. They have just effected a landing on the north-
west of Scio, with about twenty vessels, but we think it would
be a mistaken notion to believe they meant to 'take possession
of the island. This unexpected descent can have no other objec4
than to favour the emigration-of the inhabitants of the Mastic
villages. 'ln our preceding number we have spoken of these vil-
lages in such a manner as to leave some doubt with respect to
the misfortunes which they have experienced. As we stated,
thousands of desperadoes, after the burning of the Admiral's
ship, had attacked the first villages on the road, where they
murdered the men and made slaves of the women. Eiles
Aga, to whom the care of these places had been confided,
succeeded in arresting the progress of these abominable ex-
cesses, and the licentious were not able to penetrate into most
of these villages.
On the 29th of June the Greek fleet to the number of 62
sail, passed the channel of Scio. The fort and the vessels ex-
changed some hundred shots, but without any effect. Six hun-
dred Greeks from Tschesme have arrived at Scio. They
„are
conducted every day towards Campo, to get in the harvest.
All the persons who had been carried off from the Mastic vil-
lages to Scio have been sent back, except the young girls, who

are retained, and refused to be restored notwithstanding all
the endeavours of the Pacha.

The contagion rages more than ever, at Scio. There have
died already at the French Consulate, 11 Catholics, and 76
Greeks, including the Dragoman with his wife and children.
The. Greeks crowded together in the Church of the Consulate
were swept away in a cruel manner by the contagion.
To complete the misfortunes of Scio provisions are extremely
scarce, and nothing to be had but bad goat's flesh. The persons
who have taken refuge in the Consulate were lately in very
great danger. A Mussulman, nulled with compassion, came
privately and' gave information that the Turkish regiment of
' one hundred and fifty men, encamped close to the Consulate,
had formed the project to scale the walls of the garden in the
night, to massacre the men and to seizesthe women. But M.
Digeon baffled this infernal plot. After having taken all ne-
cessary measures, he kept watch during the night in the gar-
den. It was midnight—profound silence reigned—when the
Iravages were heard scaling the wall. How great was their sur-
[prise at seeing M. Digeon with his sabre in one hand and a
pistol in the other, at the head of his Janissaries, all armed
like hiniself and ready to fire ! • In their confusion they dis-
charged a few muskets and then retreated. On the following
day, M. Digeon went to the Pacha to complain of this viola-
tion of the asylum of those under its protection. The Pacha
listened to his complaints, and has banished the wretches from
the island. An abominable action has been committed at
IScio. A Turk, the owner of three female slaves, being unable
to take them with him to Tschesme, whither lie was going,
killed them all three. The Pacha being informed of this
atrocious crime, caused the individual who had been guilty of
it to be pursued. Being taken and breeght back, the Pacha
'ordered his nose and ears to be cut off, and in that condition
sent him back to Tschesme.—(Fratikfort Journal, Aug. 20.)
