LONDON,
TVEDNESDAY, AUGUST 25, 1821.

We have received the Paris Papers of Sunda'',
and the Elate of Monday. The latter announces
that intelligence has been received, via Constao..
tinople, of the Greeks having re-captured Ipsara
and of their having afterwards evacuated it, lot
they should be exposed to another attack from
the CAPTAIN PACHA. They had, however, in•
Meted signal vengeance on the Turkish gerri,cot
whom they put to the sword to the number of
three or four thousand men, being probal►lT
every Mussulman who • bad been left upon
the island. This news, which, from the manner
in which it is given by the .toile, would appear
to have been contained in official dispatches, ii
said to have revived the confidence of the Greeks,
who bad nothing serious to fear except from the
Egyptian squadron.

From other sonrces of intelligence, it Is still
asserted that the Turkish fleet was vigorously
attacked, after the disembarkation at Ipsara,
by a combined squadron of Hydriots, Speziiots,
and Ipsariots, by whom the CAPTAIN PaciiA
was defeated, and ilia ships were dispersed. W'
shall sincerely rejoice if this alleged achieve-
ment, which has now been reiterated from rail..
ous quarters, is hereafter verified. But we ca"
rt)t disguise from ourselves the fact that tho
reported defeat and dispersion of the Turkish
fleet is somewhat inconsistent with the el'
!edged motive for the evacuation of Ipsarat
viz., the fear that that very fleet might ro'
turn to Ipsara and again wrest it from the
Greeks, by whom it had been so herei•
tally re-conquered. The report made of thele
various affairs to the Supreme Government by
the Primate of Spezzia, is, after making every
allowance fur the strain of exaggeration n"d
hyperbole in which it is written, extremely
teresting, and proves that the Ipsarioteh.
in the day of their dire disaster, defended,
themselves with a constancy and herei6l",
worthy of the Grecian name, and of tilt)
sacred cause
in which they were embarked.
Letters from Corfu assert that the reported d'
fection of OMEN. PACIIA from the Ottoman "Pre;
macy is well founded,--that he attacked 011`;
routed the Turkish Generals who had hee
ient by the Divan against him,—that he
ts
boldly asserted his independence of the Gellie
meta of Constantinople, and after placing
fditresses of Arta, Prevesa and Joannitat
complete state of defence and calling LIP"'" the
Albanian Christians to join his standar I ht's
opened negotiations for an offensive and derelisi"
alliance with. Greece. There seems
to be little
re
reason to doubt the truth of this intelligenth:
which is of the most favourable imi,oilance
Greek cause.

perial Government has betrayed its own
weakness by the consternation into which
it was thrown on the mere rumour of an
Approaching visit from ten thousand Portu-
guese troops. We know that the design of
tending out a strong expedition is not aban-
doned by the Cabinet of Lisbon ; and if it be

true, as.has been asserted, that the King of Po a-

forces, and to proclaim himself as King of

With the proffered boon of a nominal in-
dependence of Portugal to his Brazilian
subjects, it is not difficult to predict the success
of his enterprise. As for Spanish America, the
Court or Madrid, now resolved on raising a large
suat of money even by the recognition of the Con-'
Ititutioaal debt us one of the conditions of the
contract, is disposed to play off a similar ma-
aceuvre upon Mexico or Peru, by sending
Est one of FERDINAND's brothers at the
Ilead of the long-threatened expedition from
Ithe ports of Spain. We have every reason to
believe that this enterprise will be directed,
not against Peru, but ngainst Mexico, and that
t whatever success may be gained by ITURUIDE in
that c.ouutry will in fact be preparatory to Isis join-
ing the standard of the Prince of the Blood
Royal, on his arrival, with all the info-
-1 °nee which the Ex-Emperor possesses, and
with all the power that he and his partisans
may have been able to collect and consolidate.—
The Mexicans are known to bo strongly dis-
posed in favour of Monarchical Government ; and
the isue of a project so well devised as that of
establishing a Spanish Prince on the throne
of MONTEZUMA, either as a Sovereign nom'.
Nily independent of Spain, or as a Spanish
Viceroy, through the instrumentality of the
iturbidists, cannot be regarded as ve
ful. ry Withdoubt-
respect to Peru, the disastrous

Acknowledges that the disasters of the army and

Peril), proves that the Peruvians either prefer to
tentutue under the yoke of Spain, or at least that
they do not think their liberation from her su-
PrernacY worth obtaining at the price of great
sacrifices. Letters from Valparaiso (Chile) of
the 21st of May, state that the expedition
against the island of Chiloe, by General FRVVRE,
ball miscarried as several of the ships engaged as
transports to attend it had returned, and appre-
ben3inns are expressed for the safety of the re.
'lusinder. No public notice on the subject had,
however, been issued by the Government. In-
telligence had reached the Chilian capital of the
d'l arture of the "Liu and the other ships of war
frO°l Cadiz, but no tidings bad arrived of their
'ting passed Cape Horn. Mr. Rowcaore, the
Consul-General for Peru, had arrived at Santiago,
after having crossed the South American continent
front
rom Buenos Ayres, with considerable danger and
alculty. /le was to proceed to Lima forthwith iii
11;5 Majestys ship Cumbride.e. The accounts from
that City only come down to the ISth of April, at
ch time the Spaniards were in quiet posses-
" ; and should that occupation continue
kip to
ithe period of the Consul's arrival, it would place
with
tins, out doubt, in a very delicate and em-
barrassing situation—that of determining to what

0n goods in store at Lima, a duty of 12 per cent.

of importation in general were admitted at a
duty of 35 per cent. Wine and brandy paid 48

three dollars the fanega. On goods entered for

THE KING, &c.

WINDSOU, AUG. 24.—This afternoon his MAJESTY, at-
tended by the Marquis Conyngham, 101 the Royal Lodge, in
the pony phaeton, for his customary drives in the Great Palk.
At a little before one o'clock her Royal Highness the Princess
Augusta left Frogmore for Eghom Races. Her Royal High-
ness returned after the conclusion of the sports, accompanied
by the Duke and Duchess of Clarence; who will dine with the
Princess and afterwards return to Bushey Park.

THE CAST LE.—The workmen at the Castle have ascertained
the extent of the subterrancous excavation lately discovered.
It proves to be an arched passage, partly lined with stone,
the remainder hollowed out of the bed of chalk upon wh'e't
the principal part of the building stands. it is from seven to
eight feet in height, and has evidently been used, in (lays Of
civil strife, as a sally-port. When first discovered the walls
and roof were ornamented with petrifaction, resembling spar,
some of which were inspected by his Majesty, but owing to the
exposure to the air the whole of these have disappear:d. The
passage remains unclosed till further directions are given.
