[MORNING POST.]
The intelligence in the French Papers from
Greece is highly
_gratifying ; for it confirms all
the reports which had already reached us of im-
portant advantage 3 gained by the Patriots in
every quarter, but particularly at Tripolizza and
MissOlonghi. It appears that the Greeks'allaw-
ed the reinforcements landed by the Captain
Pacha to effect their junction with Ibrahim, who,
thus strengthened, left a garrison of 2,500 men
at Tripolizza, and unwilling to tempt again the
strength of NapOli, moved towards Carytene.
The 'Greeks allowed: him to proceed several
leagues, andlhen under the command of generals
Iscos and Demetrius Yi'milenti, surprised Tripo-
lizza, put the garrison to the sword, and freed
nine hundred of their countrymen, who had
been made captive by Ibrahim in his ad-
vance. Informed, but too late, by some fu-
gitives of what Thad occurred, that Commander
attempted to come back, but Ypsilanti and
Iscos had joined Colocotrotti, who had already
gained some advantages over the flanks of
the Egyptians, and the whole united force of the
Morea stood in his way. Later accounts state
that a great battle was fought, in which the
Egyptians, disheartened by what occurred, expe-
rienced a severe defeat, and were compelled to
retire to Tripotamia, where the wrecks of their
army were completely surrounded. If these
statements he as correct as we sincerely wish
them to be, it will have been a great advantage
for the Greeks that Ibrahim's reinforcements
should have joined him before these decisive
operations' took place for they will have
shared in his disasters, instead of remaining
fresh and untouched to repair them. With re-'
spect to Alissolonghi, it appears certain that
it has repelled every attack • and inflicted im-
mense loss on its besiegers. On the 9.2 d of July,
the third and last assault was given by Redsch'.l
i'acha with all his force, whilst 40 gun-boats bat-
tered the isle of Vassiludes; and thus compelled
the garrison to fight on all sides. These boats,
however, were sunk by the fire from the bat-
teries, and on the land side the multitudes who
attempted to gain the walls were swept by the
cannon in such numbers, that the loss of the
Turks is said to have exceeded five thousand
men. Meanwhile, Admiral Sachtury, after
meeting and burninff on his passage several
Algerine frigates, ant.reffecting his junction with
Admiral Nenga, appeared off Cape Papas, on
which the Capitan Pacha raised the blockade of
Missolonghi and prepared for a general action.
The Greeks profited by his retreat to provision
the town, which began to feel the approaches of
want, and from their manoeuvres it was expected
that they intended to fight the Pacha. Admiral.
Miaulis had been dispatched to endeavour to
overtake the Egyptian, fleet, which was sailing
back to Alexandria to fetch fresh troops.

tTIIE PUBLIC LF.DGEtt.I
We have rceived the Paris Papers of Wed
nesday, with the Etoile of Thursday. The only
intelligence in the latter, respecting Bessieres,
is contained in a telegraphic dispatch from Bay.
cone, dated Wednesday last, stating, that the
pursuit of thii rebel was continued on the 25th
tilt: and that he had retired into the mountains
of Cuenca. This information was as vague as
as possible, is susceptible of any construction ;
though its plain interpretation is this, that Bes-
sieres was still in arms at the- above-mentioned
'period. If it was part of his orignal plan to
,gain the mountains, the advantage was clearly
' on-his side, whilst a suspicion of lukewarmness
would attach "to the troops who Were employed
against him. In the mean time one thing is clear,
that the former account in The Etoile, which
'stated that he had been deserted by all his fol-
lowers., with the exception of about 20, was either
false, or that the people of the country through
whiCh he had passed was infected With his spirit,
as otherwise they would have intercepted the
disappointed rebel in his flight. • Ai present this
adventure wears a very 'different -appearance to
what the French Government seems anxious to
put upon it ; and the regular working of the
Telegraph between Bayonne and Paris shews
"the high degree of importance which is at-
tached to it. The last Telegraphic Dispatch,
instead of tranquilling the public mind, has ap-
parently had a contrary effect, as the Renics, parti-
cularly the New, sustained a heavy fall as soon
as it was known. The affair of Bessieres has evi-
_ tlently given the coup de grace to the scheme for
the conversion of the Rentes ; and, what is more,
if has probably solved the problem respecting the
solidity'of Villele's power. Another telegraphic
dispatch, of which a copy also is inserted in the
announces the arrival at Brest of three
Deputies from Hayti; and it is added, with some
affectation, that the only object of their mission
is'to raise a loan for the purpose of paying off
what- the 'Ordonnance requires. From this one
would suspect that the French Government was
ashamed of its new ally ; and that it wiShed it to
be understood that the black Deputies were•not
.
•‘ enjoy .'the peculiar priVileges, which being, by
prescription, to the -Representatives of Friendly
'Powers: This would be an rnauspiCious: begin-

ning, of the alliance between the Siates; bu. 4, be
this as it,.,nniY; 'the moment could not have been
more titifortunat.ely selected for the. purpose of
'raising a loan,. paitioularly. to so enormous, an
innount, and upon such loose security too, as a
Gi;vernment like that of Hayti is capa,ble of fur-
nishing. In the mean time, we are told that the
'firpneli manufacturers are extremely on the alert
inconsequence Of the opening of the
,trade with
liayti ; but we suspect that. they over-rate the
advantages. •

'The French Papers at last bring us some news

cidedly favourable to the cause of independence;
and, it it be'cerfect to the full extent, we may:,
