F2ONTIER9 OF ITALY, JULY 21.—We just learn by
letters fro:n persons deserving of credit, that the Pacha of
Scutari and °theft eighbouring Pachas have received orders from
Condantinople to form new corps with all possible expedition,
and send them to Arto and Prevesa, where they will be imme-
diately placed at the disposal of Redschid Pacha, who has
lately rene4ed his urgent solicitations to the Porte for rein-

iercemen ts.

.The Pacha of Travnick, who has hitherto been excused in. a
great degree, has also received orders to levy troops. The
Pachas have shewn great readiness, hut there is a particular
difficulty. They have been at great expence for fitting out
troops, &c. They are now called upon to make further dis-
bursements, which are to be repaid by the Seraskier, because
all the sums destined for the arming and equipment Of the
troops are placed by the Porte at the disposal of the Seraskier.
The Pachas have, therefore, caused representations to be made
at Constantinople to obtain the repayment of the sums they
have advanced, and .also money beforehand for their future
disbursements. The decision of the Porte is expected. The
accounts from Thessaly agree that the Turkish troops, which
had advanced from that province into Livadia, have returned
la a bad condition to the banks of the Sperchius. It is said

that they have lost about a third of their number in this new
campaign. Meantime they are taking new positions about
Zeitouni and Patrodik.

They are to advance again as soon as they are able to renew
their operations, because the Greeks turned their whole,force
agaitu,t- lledschid Pacha, as soon as the Thessalian army was
obliged to retreat. It seems that they are destined to make a
new diversion. In the neighbouring Turkish provinces, it is
said, that the liospodars of Moldavia and Wallachia have
gained their cause against the Bojars, who complained against
-theta at Constantinople, for an abuse of their power. Several
Bojars have lately been arrested, as alleged enemies of the
Porte.

• VIENYA,,jULY 29.—The Austrian Obse?vcr has a long
article directed against two articles in the Constitutionnel. The
two articles, says the Austrian Observer, are of such a nature
that it would be loss of time to attempt a formal refutation of
thee► ; they bear too plainly the stamp of-their origin. One.6f
them relates to t!se late Count Bubna, Commander-in-Chief in
Lombardy, whose death, says the Constitutionnei, is regretted
in Lombardy, " because he had proposed to give the Italians
" a Constituent Government,'''&c. all which is a mere fable.

Ile other article is from a respectable correspondent, and
dated Napoli di Romania, 15th May, and states that an Ans-
*tier, squadron had arrived here, on board which was an Officer
charged with a mission to the Greek Government, the object
of whirl► was to propose the establishment of a Monarchical
Government in Greece, in the person of the. son of the Ex.
Ring of Sweden.

" /t seems hardly possible," says the :4ustrian Observer,
"! that even the Editors themselves, great as is their ignorance
of the real• state of affairs ire Greece, should credit so clumsily
• lisrZted a fable."

MADRID, JULY 28.

The Spanish armed brig Provide"mitt, which arrived at Cadiz
on the btlit July, has brought the Government official news
from the Philippines, dated Alurch 1. The greatest tranquillity
ptevaih in those Colonies, and the Captain. General announces,
that the Mu.erte o Gloria corvette, and the Relit-au() brig,
which belonged to the insurgents of Peru, have arrived at Ma-
nilla to place themselves at the disposal of the Spanish Govern-
ment. The captains and crews of these two vessels declared
that they hal taken this step, because they were indignant at
the proceedings of the independent party.

TRIESTE, JULY 23,
Capitan Paella seems to have at length arrived on the
coaat of the Mona t the Captain of a iesselavhich has just an—j

chored here states, that he sailed two days in the midst of the
fleet, and did not quit it till he arrived rear Motion. However,
the Capitan Pacha arrives much too late to second the operations
against illissolonghi, sinceseveral uccqunts agree that the siege
is raised, and that the Seraskier has been obliged to retreat, in
consequence of the events at Salona, and the desertion of the
Albanian troops.

Recent accounts which have reached us announce that Ibra-
him Pacha is surrounded at Tripolizza by Colocotroni with
12,000 men : that he is entirely cut off frbm the coast, and that
all his communications with Motion are intercepted.
The arrival of the Capitan Pacha of Motion is, therefore, a
very favourable event for Ibrahim Paella.

• We have just learnt that Ibrahim Paella, who had advanced

the Mills, because he depended on his fleet for supplies, and
had received no news of it.

NAPOLI DI ROMANIA, JUNE 28, 1825.

" GE-I,r rLE ME et—Since the defeat of Colocotroni by the bar-
barians, Ibrahim Paella, like 4tll able. and well-advised Gene-
ral, has profited by the panic of die Greeks to march direct-
ly upon Naioli. The head of his column appeared at the
post of the Windmills on the morning of the 25th. I imme-
diately went to the post of the wind-mills, in order to have a
conference with Prince Ipsilanti, who was in command there.
It is a most important post to the Greeks, for their mills and
a large portion of their provisions arc stationed there. At my
return to the Government at Napoli I showed the necessity of
having that post strengthened, for Prince Ipsilanti had under
his orders only about two hundred irregular troops. The o-
vernment sent him a company of voltigeus belonging to the new
regiment of the line organizing here, and also 300 Palicares or
Greek tirailleurs. I observed the enemy's motions ; they came
out of the defile of the windmills in platoons, then formed into
divisions, and afterwards deployed into two lines in very good
order. The Arabs then piled their arms, and halted for dinner.
In the course of the day there were some few skirmishes between
the outposts. Thef.orces of the enemy amounted to 5,600 infan-
try and from 690,ne 700 cavalry, with two small field-pieces.—
The force of the Greeks, at the beginning-oldie action, ,was only
250 men, as I have already had the honour to inform you. At
half-past four o'clock the enemy formed into three columns,
and marched upon the windmills. Tice strongest column, com-
posed of infantry, took post upon the plain to the left of the
mountain upon the road to Argos. A second column came
straight upon the mountain, in order to turn the mills, whilst
a third came up by the road from Civeri. Prince Ipsilanti had
disposed of his 250 men in the following mannere—l 00 occupied
the ground to the right of the snills ; the same number was to the
left, and stretched a little down the side.cf the mountain.; the re-
mainder were placed in the centre. Seve.ral mistics were near the
shore, in order to sustain the Greek infantry. At five o'clock the
general attack began ; the Greeks sustained it with extraordinary
courage. In vain the Egyptian column from the Civeri road en-
' deavoured to force the entrance to the mills; itsvas repulsed three
times following, and at aluarter past six was put to the route.
The Greeks immediately pursued it, but the fear of the enemy's
cavalry made them return to their post. At half past six the
enemy rallied, and directed his march to the back part of 'the
mountain, where he halted to call in his tirailleurs. 'Whilst the
the left wing of the Greeks was beating off the enemyi.the centre
column had arrived --at the foot of the mountain, where some
fighting ensued in the enclosed gardens, which I had in the
morning advised Prince Ipsilanti to have entrenched and make
a regular post. At a quarter to seven the 'firing ceased, but
began again with greater vivacity at seven. During the fight
the enemy continually reinforced their attacking columns, as
were also the Greeks, tio whom the Government had sent out
as many as 450 men, which raised the forces of Ipsilanti about
Ilseven o'clock to 700 men, and towards eight at night further
additions had raised them to nine hundred. At that period the
Turks began to retire in disorder on the road to Argos. The
centre column endeavoured to take up a position in the moon..
Itain opposite the .wind mills.; but the company of voltigeurs
pursued and routed them. The lass 'of the enemy in killed and
wounded must amount to 400 men, that of the Greeks is very
slight. The brave Colonel Macriani was dangerously wounded
in the arm. •__The mistics effectually seconded Prince' Ipsilanti
by a well sustained fire of-ease-shot. The conduct of the naval
service was of great advantage to the little band of Greeks. M.
de Craze, an ancient officer of the French _Marine, 'Commander
of one of the mistics, has particularly distinguished, himself,
as also a young officer from Brussels, M. Truinner.
" Rear-Admiral Rigny, who was on this occasion at anchor
off the point, taking in water, had the goodness to receive on
board his vessel the Greek Colonel Macriani, and gave him
that help which was due to his bravery. On the eve of the
battle, M. de Rigny had had the humanity to have the women
and children who were at the mills carried on board of his ves-
sel. On this occasion the Greeks have proved to the barbarians
that when they are well commanded they can fight like men
worthy to become free. The beautiful' and rich valleys of Mo-
don, Calamata, and Leondari, after having been pillaged and
the inhabitants massacred, hive been delivered to the flames.
Since 'lbrahim Paella has been in _the plain of Argos, he has
burnt that large town, and redoced to ashes the thousands of
olive-trees _which grew in that fertile plain. IHe has pitched
his camp near the ruins of Argos. -.lf he remains long in that
position; the Greeks will have time to cut off his retreat both
by the defiles of Tripolizza and of Corinth. lie cannot under-
take the siege of Napoli, having neither cannon, ammunition,
or provisions. . He-reckoned on his fleet.; but that the Greeks
keep strictly blockaded at Suda.

" P.S. 1 have just learnt that -the Arabs are withdrawing;
they have taken the road which leads to Tripolizza and Cala-
vrita, but it is not known what is -their destination. The Go-
vernmcnt has just given orders for some guerillas to follow
them, in order to harass their retrograde march. Ibrahim
Pacha's true object is to carry desolation wherever he can, 'for
he fully sees the impossibility of at present conquering the
Peloponnesus."

Egyptians have massacred the Archbishop-a Motion, after in-
flicting upon him the most horrible, tortures.

Sin—AmongsonieanecdOtesl:TOur Paper, a
few days since, I see one .-concerning Mr. K.
of St. John's College, Cambridge, who is repre-
sented as punning On the word waiters. IVo have
long had the reputation of punsters, .4:oxrp,
and therefore we seem to be allowed a-sort of
manorial property in unclaimed puns. How far
our reputation has thence-been advanced it is not
my object to determine now. All that I wish to
say is, that I am sorry to see such language as
cannot be,printed at length interwoven in tree
conversitions of St. John's Hall. It is very well
for Jemmy Gordon to represent Dr.: Johnson
delivering his gravest apoplithems with judiciously
disposed oaths, yet the discourse of the " Co-
lossus" himself would not have been more devoid.
of any thing of this sort than the language in the
Ilall of St. John's. Bad -pollsters we may be
occasionally, but we are gentlemen ; gentlemen,
I trust, with a sense of not only what is due to
the gentlemanly character, but what is expected
from individuals so educated; and called to duties
of so high responsibility. We ought not there-
fore to he represented employing language which
is only tolerated on account of the grossest igno-
rance when proceeding from the lips of a common
porter. Such misrepresentations, while they are
libels On ourselves, afford a handle to 'those ene--
tnies who are ever ready to calumniate all that
this country possesses of estimable and venerable;
and to excite or confirm the prejudices of the ig-
norant.

If by Mr. be_meant a: very distinguished
undergraduate . now in residence, I lave the
honour of that gentleman's acquaintance., and I
am confident th►e language ascribed to him by the
anecdote could never have escaped his lips.
Trusting !that I -shall not be considered as of-
fensive in humbly advocating .the cause of a
learned and gentlemanly body, against an impu-

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

IMPORTANT TO POSTMASTERS.

UNrox-HAr.r..—Yesterday 31r. ..jellett, the "-farmer" of
the post-horse duty at the Marsh-gate, attended before Mr.
A r. LEN, at the instance of Mr. Bryant, the post-Master, in order
to have the Magistrates opinion upon the following question :
Whether a toll-collector ofthe post-horse duty was authorized
in stopping a chaise and four from proceeding to Dartford,
'without the production of a long day's post duty-ticket-?

Mr. Bryant said,,that in this case, which was one of consi-
derable importance-to the public, Lord Auckland sent to his
stables, desiring that two fours—i. e. eight post-horses—should
be immediately sent to his residence. Mr. Bryant asked the
messenger whether they were wanted-for a long or a short rdis.
tance, in order-to make out a ticket accordingly. A decisive
answer was not returned, the person scying he believed his
Lordship only intended proceeding a short distance out of
town. Mr. Bryant, conceiving that his horses were not re-
quired for more than a drive of a few miles, made out two short
day tickets, and gave them to the post-boys. When the car-
riages, areieed at the Marsh-gate, and his Lordship having
told the -collector that he was proceeding‘ ;to Dartford, in
Kent, the latter, upon the production of -the short day's
ticket, refused to allow them to pass through the gate, say-
ing, that he must have either a long day's ticket, or is.
9d. extra duty on each of the horses.; this latter demand
was complied with by his Lordship, to prevent further delay
on his journey. Mr. Bryant now contended• that the toll
collector had no right to make the demand.: he should have
taken the ticket that was presented to him, and , given a
certificate back to that effect, informing his employers of- the
fact, wirn had continual access, if they pleased, to his books,
where the duty was always entered, on ascertaining-the dis-
tances to which his horses were driven, which was not on all
occasions known until after the return of the post-boys to town.
And in the event of his only having given a short day's ticket,
when, in fact, a longer.diStance had been performed, an entry
to that effect -was made, and the full duty paid into the
Treasury.
The solicitor of the person who contracted with Government
for the letting out of. the post-horse duty at the Marsh-gate,
contended that by a recent Act of Parliament, the toll-collector
was authorized in demanding a long day's ticket, when he was
informed that in this case Lord Auckland was proceeding to
Dartford. This was refused, however, anti then the ls. 9d.
extra duty was claimed, which was a legal claim.
Mr. Bryant said, that as this was a question which was
never before brought under the consideration of a Magistrate,
should it be decided in-favour of the farmer of the post-horse
duty, it would be incredible the inconvenience and delay which
the public would -be exposed to that travelled post. No fraud,
he again asserted, ,nas ever contemplated, either on the Trea-
sury, or on the persons who farmed the duty, who were well
aware of the penalty which a post-master" incurred in the event
of any imposition of this description.
The Solicitor said, that the farmers of post-horse.duty were
continually subject to impositions. He did not mean to im-
pute any charge of this kind to Mr. Bryant—far from it : but
he could instance many cases where post-masters had sent
short-day tickets for proceeding to Hampton, Richmond, and
Windsor. The chaises proceeding to those places required
long-day tickets; therefore it was obvious the former were
sent for the purpose of cheating the collectors of the duty. He
again-contended, that the Ast of the present ling relative to
the Pest-horse duty was applicable to the case. Mr. Bryant,
on the other hand, contending, that the Legislature never in-
tended-that-the public travelling post .should be put to the in.
convenience and trouble of being cross-questioned by a person
employed by the farmer of the duty, as to whither they were
going, &c. Should any mistake occur by the post-master giving
a wrong ticket, which .was an error that was easily detected,
as lie before-stated, it was uniformly corrected, and the 'full I
duty paid:.

The Solicitor said, that notwithstanding the little difficulty
of discovering errors of this nature, the ,Collectors of the duty
were frequently " done:"
-Mr. ALLEN postponed the decision of the question until
Thursday.

MARY r.EssDNE • Orr rcE..—Yesterday John Baker, a toll-
keeper at Tyburn turnpilo, was brought up on a warrant, in
the custody,of an officer, charged by Miss Dunford, a young
lady residing► in Connaught-terrace, with the most impudent
assault.

111iss`Dunford, being sworn, stated that on 31onday, the Ist
of August, she went cut to take-an airing in her gig, and on
passing through the Tyburn-gate .at which the defendant takes
toll, he demanded in the most rude manner, the ticket from her
groom, which being presented. to: him, he snatched it from his
hand and toreit in pieces, intimating that it was incorrect;
and she knowing it to be contrary; and the abuse and violence
of the defendant having collected a crowd of persons on the spot,
she endeavoured to whip .the horse on, on which he seized the
whip in the most violent mariner, and nearly pulled her out of
the gig. Ultimately he got-possession of the whip, which he
would not return to her. _ .

Daniel Webb, the groom, stated; that on passing through the
gate he called out the letter " 1) " to the defendant, but he
would not let Them proceed, saying it was the wrong letter. He
was extremely abusive to Miss Dunford, who was dragged by
him with great violence when he seized the whip.
The prisoner, in his defence, said that Miss Dunford cut him
with the whip over the eye, which caused him to seize hold
of it. _ .

Mi. Dunford declared positively that she did not do so.
Mr. GRIFFITHS, the Magistrate, felt quite indignant at the
behiftviour of the prisoner, and said it was one of the most im-
pudent assaults that he ever heard of in his life, and committed
him in default of bail.
