" TINE, DEC. insurrection of Greece, properly
called, and of the islands of the Archipelago, has now acquired
so:inuch force, that it ~Stuty rintsonably be hoped that+lt' may
maintain itself, at least as long as the Ottoman Government
shall remain in 'the state of anarchy that it is now in.
6' It is true; Oat On 'the Continent the bands of Insurgents
are not well. organised; and will still be for a long time beaten
every time that they mecca large Turkish army. But as every
body is armed, even in the most remote mountain, the Turks
never will be Masters but of • the ground that they occupy.
Utchod Pacha' made 16 days ago a bold and well arranged
movement s having traversed': the gulf of Lepanto, he sur-
prised and beat Odysseus, was to prevent his retreat through
the Mores • but this Chief,, who saved himself in the moun-
tains of Phoeis, will soots have asseniblvd a new army. Th-
elma .Paclia afterwards entered the Aimee by Corinth, joined
the Turkish division, which was kept in check there by the
army of.the Illoraites, and victualled .the garrison of Napoli.
But the interior of the Peloponneaus is always so well defended
by all the armed population that no Pacha will think of pene-
tratinminto it.
The Hydriotes have• sent funds to the countries of the
North, to purchase somelligates capable of carrying from 40 to
50 guns of large calibrqi with vessels of this force they can at.
tack the Turkish ships of the line, if.they again leave the Dar.
dandles. _

" The Island of loans is in the most respectable state of de.
fence. All the surface of the island bristles with cannons. The
fort of San Nicolas has alone 88 pieces.of cannon of the largest
calibre, all of brass., The 16th at the present month there were
landed' 40 guns, a great quantity of balls, of tunmunition, of
provisions, as well as carriages for field pieces. Another cargo
of the same objects is expected in exeliange for fio damaged
brass.guns, which the Ipsariots took away last year from the
Turkish line of-battle ship which was wrecked at Alytelene.
" The Senate of Ipsara caused an inhabitant of Chia to be
burnt in the public square, because letters were found on him,
of tvlikhone,was.:adressed to the Turkish Minister; to whom
was transit-nut:tile& the information requisite to give hint a cor-
reet Welt of the state;-and of the number of the vessels of I p-
sttit' the plans of . the batteries, the disposition of the public
Mind; the number of inhabitants, and their project*. •

great'a&, is *devoted with ardour to thepleasures of. the

CoNata).tttwort,E,. Dcc. 24.—The apprehension that the
Janissaries might consider the tall of the powerful favourite as
their sole work, and build cm it the hope of a preponderant
influencein the'Goiernment, is entirely dispelled. The Sultan
has exinessed his conviction of the guilt of Italeb rafentli
with so Much onenness; but at the .same time with so much ,
energy, -that his authority has lost nothing by the measure,
which his popularity has considerably increased. The Joni-
, series have made no attempt to prescribe laws to hint, or to
extort faVours. They behave more quietly than. ever, and
as they consider the new Grand Vizier to be their friend,
' they have no ground for discontent. Order hi Mere strictly
enfore6d. among them; arid as a cbitsiderable part of the
corps,ia shortly w march, partly to Greece' partly to the',
Persian frontiers there is no reason to suppose_ that the pre.

Pachan 'dedicates himself with great zeal to the duties of his
office. He is ree,rinityc die whole marine department, and
is incessantly engaged in:procitting materials for the navy and
the•equiPment of new Ships of war. • The Turks have &saw.
erect, too late for their interest, that they can do nothing with
theirgreafahips of war against the Greeks, who always took
care to avoid an engagement with theta; and every hotly who

think that they intend to attack Marlin Tino, or what, if the
report is well founded, is the most probable, Tenedos. For
some time past, also they have been lying with a considerablenumber of email vessels in the harbour of Smyrna, and threaten

Though the" Porte observes profound' silence In all itimilitify
plans, yet the*preparations making here shew that a winttr
campaign against the illerea. is determined on. The nsmea
of the regiments of Janissaries to be employed in it are already
known. The new Seraskier DaChelal Pacha passed through
Serer a fortnight ago, and is now with the army. It is con.
firmed, that even before bitarrival the Insurgenteunder Odys-
seus had'sustained a complete defeat.—ltegunents of Janissa.
ries are to march also against the Persian frontier. But-for
sonic time past a far more dreadful scourge than the sword has
raged there. The cholera morbtis, the ravages of which are as
formidable as those of the plague, has traversed a great part of
Asia, and penetrated to Syria ; so that the inhabitants of the
ruins of Aleppo have been forced to quit their last asylum.—
The Armenian Patriarch has been deposed on the urgent soli.
citations of his own community. The Christians of all sorts in,
the capital are treated With extraordinary mildness. The same,
system, as far as. we can2learn, is pursued in all the provinces.
It is remarkable that the pride of the Turkis.h Governmentdoes
not allow it to boost to.stringers of these measures; 4nd it costs.

REPORT or Pos. JOSE MARIA TORRIJOS, CIEWEIIAL•IX-
CHIEF OF Tilt ARMY OF THE DISTRICT OF VITTORIA.
,
" Resolved to iiursue. the :enemy wherever he should fly, I
set out this morning froM Quintana early, and learnyd on the
road that firing was he4d On the side of Armintia., I qu;icken-
ed my pace, and learned, on. arriving, that tl-,ert had hein
an action between sotneceinpanies of the Marine, and the chit&
of bands, Castellar, Guergue; Uranga, and Cuebillas. That
the latter, proud of an advantage they had obtained, had fallen
back on that village. I immediately determined, in spite of the
wind and the snow, and five leagues of road, to march on the
enemy, as I had with me the brave men of the battalions of
Vittoria and Villengay, and the Queen's Bone. .Ist our ap.
proach:the enemy took flight.
" I caused a charge .to be made ; but there was nothing to
fight ; .133 prisoners, the flags of the 4th battalion of Navarre,
more than 400 muskets gathered .-tip on the field of battle, all
the brigade of the train; 'several chests of ammunition, equi.
pages, a quantity of effects, and .20 horses, were the fruits of the
day.--Nothing is more agreeable to me than to have saved the
prisoners of the Marine, who had been taken by the faction
l'he enemy Hies . in the greatest disorder; and it may be said,
that this important pdrtion of' the rebels has disappeared ; they
have not dated to make use of their arms, and although we
killed 30 of: hem, we have on'our side neither killed, wounded,
nor prisoner. 'When time permits, I shall send the names Of
the Officers.who have been taken, confining myself now to
telling you, that there is among. them a\traitor of the ald
guatct. .„

PERPIONAN4 Jaw. 20.—The corps which has been or-
ganised at Si, Laurentadt-Cerdans, under the orders of the
Regency, has taken the name of the first battalion of Royal
Volunteers of "Barcelona.' M. Ximenes has been appointed
Cominander. Some Frenchmen, who are to enter it as (Amt.
" M. Laponge, ammurer Of our town, who Went to St. Lau-
rent-de-Cerdana to deliver the arms to the first battalion of
Royal Volunteers of Barcelona has returned. Ile says that the
arms were delivered on the Spanish territory, and that the Com.
mandant Ximenes, to avoid complaints, made him give them
out to the soldiers, each of whom was the judge of the work
in his own gun and if it was defective it was repaired at the
expellee of M. Laponge. When this was done M. Laponge
received a bill °WA house at Perpignan. and took the road for
St. Laurent.de.Certlans, escorted by two Frenchmen who had
accompanied him ; but scarcely had they reached the confines
of the Spanish territory, when live men, whom they recognzed
as a part of those to whom they had just given arms, called on
them for their purses or their lives. Happily they had taken
the precaution to cart); pistols, and when they presented them,
these wretches took flight, and left the passage free."

GEORGE WASHINGTON.—.Every thing must be
interesting that relates to this genuine Patriot,
who, having established the freedom of his,
Country, was superioi to vulgar ambition, and
relinquished, power when it was no longer neces.
sary to retain it. We therefore extract the follow-
ing letter from The New London Magazine. It
was addressed by this great man to Dr. COCHRAN',
Director General of the American Military Hos-
pitals during the revolutionary war, It chews
that a great and upright mind can be playful in
trifles as well as energetic in matters'of essential
importance :

" West Point, Aupst 16, 1779-
" Dear Doetor,—l have asked Mrs. Cochran „arid _Mrs. Li-
vingston to dine with me to-niorrow ; but °vita I not to
apprise them of their fare? As I hate deception, teen where
imagination is concerned, I will.
" It is needless to premise that my table is large enough to
hold the ladies—of this they had ocular proof yesterday. To
say how it is usually covered is rather mote essential ; and this
shall be the purport of my letter.
Since my arrival at this happy spot, we have had a ham,
sotnetinies a shoulder of bacon, to grace the head of the table;
a piece of roast beef adorns the foot, and a small dish of greens
or beaus (almost imperceptible) decdrates the centre. When
the cook has a mind to cut a figure (and this, I presume, he
will attempt to do to-morrow), we have two beef-steak pies, or
dishes of crabs in addition, one on each side of the centre dish,
dividing- the space, and reducing the distance between- dish and
ttibli to. about ;iix.cow., which, without them, wotijtl bt ricarAY
twelve apart. Of late he has had the surprising luck-to-dis-
cover that apples will make pies; and it's a question if, amidSt
the vitilence ofiss tiforti, we do not get one oral)** instead of
having both•of beef.
" If the ladies can put up with such entertainment, anti
submit to partake of it on plates, once tin, but now /rim heat
become so by the labour of scouring), I shall• be huppy to- set
them.

" I am, dear Sir, your nu-At obedient servani,
GEORGE WASHINGTON.
" To Dr.. John Cochran."

MACPUrIiSoN AUAlxyr Lovilt.—Wa have authority, for
stating that Mr. MoNTnION, the witness in the above cause,
tried in the King'S Bench, Guildhall, on the 21st oflistrnorith,
is not Mr. Montrion of the firm of " Montrion and Locock,',
late of King's Antis Yard, and now of Staple Inn.
THE Baca BIT.—At the late Quarter Sessions
for Gloucester, Thomas Bush, a, common infor-
mei., who lately resided at the Phcenix filo, at
Cirencester, pleaded guilty to an indictment for
extorting money from a respectable farmer at
Edgworth, to compound nn offence alleged to'
have been committed by the latter, under the'
general Highway Act, in suffering his cart to be'
drawn by more than the usual_ of horses.
'l'ho'Court sentenced Bush to be committed to
Horseley Bridewell for one month, and by his
conviction he is for. ever disabled from being
platfititTor informer in any suit or information,
upon any statute popular or penal.—(Worcester
Journal.)
