SbuYitra, jut,v juin/wit/he French
vessel of war,•commanded by M. Bejard, arrived
hits on Sunday, July 4;' she witnessed the cap
-
thee of 'lpsara by the squadron of the Captain
Pecha, an event which. took place on Saturday,
die 3d. The Captain Pectin left Mitylene with
a squadron 'composed of 80 vessels, large- and.
small, on Friday, the 2d, and arrived off I psura.
in the evening. On Saturday, between three and
four o'clock in the morning, he landed 14,(00
men on the north coast opposite Mitylene. After
a 'lively resistance, he made himself master of the
fort which is there. The Turks then made for:
the top of the hill which commands the town,
and' hoisted the Turkish flag there about seven
o'elnitk.. At the sameAimit the squadron sur-
rounded the island, and made for the town.
The rou4e was complete, without the ships tind.
;lug it ,necessary to fire their guns; the town was
captared,!and the sea covered with the bodies of
those who endeavoured to escape in small boats
and vessels so heavily laden, that they sunk.
The Albanian Greeks made some resistance, but
were repulsed after killing about 500 Turks,
and they took refuge in the last fortress on the
eastern side of the island,, which held out the
whole day, and bad not surrendered at the de.!
partore of the Amaranthe, although ..the *big
had nearly ceased.
The Primates of the Island and the Senate had
time to escape with their families in their own
vessels, which were, lying at Anti-f psara, whence
they. made sail. The Captain Paella dispatched
seine frigates after them, but without overtaking
them. Ile :captured all the vessels which were
in the port of Ipsara, and preserving the best of
them, caused the others to be burnt. All the
boots of these vessels Oere seat to save and col-
lect the Greeks who had. submitted. lie also
caused a Zella to be published in the island,
that every Mahornedan who conducted a Greek,
whether male or female, on board the ships,
should receive a reward of 500 piastres for_each
our. The isiand
.from which so much was ex-
pected, did not resist three hours. The Captain
'Peelle intends to proceed intmedietely to Samos,
to Tina, and thence to Hydra, to complete by
force the submission of the C reeks. lie has sent
.a'sqeadron before him to invite the islanders to
submit Voluntarily., and to prevent the effusion
of blood.
The Smyrneett contains the following article.:
" Nexus, JLINE 20.—The whole population
of the island of Cast' no longer ekists - About
thirty individuals of both sexes have just landed
here,- and Never told us as follows :—" From
the Gth to the Bth of June, about five o'clock
in the morning, the Egyptian squadron, consist-
big 6117 vessels, which was cruising off Gandhi,
made sail for Casa to land troops. The inhabi.
tents immediately ran to arms, and placed them-
SPITE'S nt, every accessible point, resolved to cent-
..quer or perish. The Turks, protected by their
ships, endeavoured in vein to effect a landing.
They were constantly repulsed, with loss, by a
a well kept up Gre on our part. Night put an
end to the tromlutt, but nut to our uneasiness, rw
wee saw a long time lights at a distance, which
convinced its of the presence of our formidable
orsemY. At day-break we again saw the Egyptian
•.'vessels advance. The attack was made very
briskly, and continued till four o'clock in the
'afternoon. The squadron of Ismael Gibraltar
was then lost sight •of. We hoped that we had
saved ourselves,And after having returned thanks
to God, we lonited after our wounded. But on
the 10th, Ismael Gibraltar, followed by the
posies part of his forces, directed his march on
the strongest part of the island, and began a
terrible lire. The combat had lasted several
hears, when we 'beard loud. cries in our rear.
The enemy had landed on .the.:tiorth-eust side of
the island. We were thus taken between two
tires, our efferts• at resistance were unavailing,
and we were soon dispersed. Four or five hun-
dred of ,our countrymen perished with arms in
their hands ; the remainder took refuge in the
mountains and the neighbouring Wands. The
treater part of our women and children, we sup.
-posse, . have fallen into the hands of the enemy."'
PARIS, AUG. 10.—If thollaytians would hear
oordisinterested advice, we would say to them—
Your real independence will not in the .least suf-
fer by a clause in which you recognize the King
of France as your protector. Is not Portugal, in
fact, under the protection of England ? You have
no navy,, you are hardly able to protect your
twit '{lag, against the privateers of Colombia and
of Buenos Ayres, and you dare not send your
ships into the seas of Europe. Protected. by
France, no nation will interfere to check your
trade. You hive conquered the Spanish part of
St. Domingo, but you have no valid title to re-
sein it according to the rights of nations.. Spain
has not givens up her claims to you, and she might
embarrass you very much, if she made over her
"'us to a Rawer capable of carrying them into
effect. It is only by the friendly interference
of 'France, that vou can hope to obtain tranquil
I"94rssitm !orails territory, which is the best
part of the Mao& •
oes not this prospect jus-
tify nit Ret of•"141"qtt-and •eratitude towards the
old Mother Country.? The,, able President of
Hayti is bettercapuble. than we are to develope
. to his constituents the. political .considerations
which ought to govern Lite common interests of
the two countries. .
According to an Evening= journal, which is
,considered as tine organ-of the. Ministry, on, new
Ministry are only to be considered as provisional.

—lt Is a new combination, says the Journal, so
a►ado as to leave the President or the Council
every power necessary to ►cake a new arrange-
ment.

From the Coniatutiannelo
PARIS, AUG. 10.—The departure of th© Hap
thin Deputies may be considered we fear, as
equivalent to a rupture. It appears that the right
of sovereignty claimed by the Ministry was the
stumbling-block; in fact, its engagements with
the Holy Alliance do not permit it to acknow-
ledge the independence of Hayti. How is it
that our Government does not possess that inde-
pendence which a great nation like ours ought to
enjoy, and why do we always make sacrifices to
Russia which turn to the profit of England ?
WARSAW, JULY 19.—0 n the 15th of this month was cele-
brated here in the church of Visitandines, a fete, in memory
of all the men who have deseri,ed well of the sciences in the
kingdoth of Poland. It commenced by a mass in music;
then some discourses were pronounced, and afterwards medals
distributed to the authors of the hest writings and works of art
which have appeared in the course of last year.
Ptnnal.r.,,at, AUG.. g.—( E xtrrict of a Private Letter.)—On
the 24th of last month an English schooner,-carrying dispatches
to differentparts of the Peninsula, entered Barcelona. The
last place
of she entered was Tarragona. At Barcelona she put
on shore the Captain and two ocers, who repaired to the Con-
sul, to whom they delivered dispatches. We are informed that
,the Captain had orders to take on board all Constitutionals who
wished to take refuge there ; it, is at least certain that eight
Officers, four Colonels, and lour Captains did go OR board. Of
the number was Capt. Mats, of Vieh. These gentlemen were
pursued by the Spanish Police. We are also informed that the
Captain had expre °nit?* not to receive any Frenchman, under
any pretext whatever. it was remarked, that when the schooner
entered the harbour of Bareelona% shemede no salute, whichls
rsther extraordinary.
Nuntarntvnoil, Atm. We learn, by information from
Constantinople, that the request made by Lord Strangford to
his tiovernment to be recalled has. been refused, and that lie
received a fluttering letter in reply, in which, among other
things, it was said that his presence there was indispensible, till
some reconeiliation was effected between Russia and the Porte.
It is, however, believed at Pere, that the principal motive with
the English abinet far not complying with the request is, be.
cause they suspect that the French Ambassador would take ad-
vantage of the absence of Lord Strangford to regain that Willi,.
ence over the Divan which France formerly possessed, ?nd it is
thought that Lord Strangford would be able 'to counteract any
effort of this kiwi on the part of Count Guilleminot. What-
ever may, be the cause of the refusal, it is quite certain that it
is disagreeable to Lord Strangiord, as he will find it very
difficult to continue playing the part in which he has hitherto
so well succeeded.

A division of the Egyptain squadron has arrived in the port
of Suda, where it wa►s to embark on hoard transports a part of
the force of Ilasscin-Pacha,•con►posed exclusively of Egyptaio
troops.
