WEDNESDAONDON,
, .AUGUST 13, 152.4.

Our Readers are aware that a negociation has
theon*lntcluded for a Loan to the 13razils. As we
know .fro* s undeniable sources of information
thattl43 measure will be very strongly protested
Against by Portugal, and that a strong expedition
hos been for sorne time preparing in Lisbon, we
would advise the public to look to the securities
for this Loan. It is truly lamentable to see the
nYi'lllY With which British Capitalists are en-
tangled in the cobweb security of so many
Poreign Loans.

It Is with heartfelt grief that we have to an-
%Mice, se soon after the expression of our doubts
.41 to the reality of the capture of Ipsara by the
elprAtrs PAcn*, that this melancholy intelli-
gence has already been confirmed from so many
'different quarters as to leave little or no doubt of
its truth. The 'various accounts, however, are
sacontratlictory, as to justify a faint hope that
the calamity is not so very great as most of them
/*present it, and that in fact the principal Greek
families had previously evacuated the islands
ta.king %with them the public treasure, and
farltsps abandoning little that could be of
b'iy real value to the conquerors. We allow
sh(hit
od"
47 hope of this kind rests on vary
foundations ; but we are willing, in
H°ll thing relating to the fate of a heroic and
!faring people, to cling to every circumstance
40 promises favourable results; and as the
411rereot versions of the fall of Ipsara speak so
.4"nsisteatly of the conduct of its inhabitants,
ind of the way in which the conflict terminated
b"hich their fate was decided, it is not en-
tifilly improbable that all the accounts are
1143 Perfect,, and may have omitted the notice of
4/111 Particulars calculated in some degree to
*taken the disastrous force of the principal fact,
/is• the reduction of the island. The Smyrna
,liee"inta state that the CAPTAIN PACIIA made
'e attack with 14,000 men, and with so much
inlPetuosity, that the islanders offered little or no
resistance. T
hand he letter from Trieste, on the other
, asserts that di, Turks lost 15,000 men in
the "'filet, and.
Seeing that f Ua the remaining Ipsariots, on
lurther resistance was unavailing, col..
ected their wives and children in the fort, which
ferociousthen blew up, involving many of their
conquerors in their own destruction.
WI sad
tan tragedy, if it has really occurred,
scarcely fail to rouse a spirit of
enthu-
siasm and a thirst of vengeance throughout all
Oreece, which may yet Make the Turks pay
clearly for their bloody triumph, and ought
overwhelm the
_Christian Governments

'arses with sttame and humiliation for the

nessed the progress of an exterminating war

Thus is the first attacked, and one of the islands said to be.

I fully calculate that this is the forerunner of other successes
on the part of the Turks."
EXTRACT or A LETTER FROM SMYIIXA, DATED JULY 6.
" We have later and more detailed accounts from Ipsara.
It appears that all the fire-ships, and about 10 or 12 armed
Greek vessels, were burnt by the Turks, and that 18 or l 0 of
the latter struck their colours, and had the Turkish colours
flying when the last accounts came away. About 10 or 12 of
the best Greek vessels, with the richer Greeks on board, and
their families, and it is said the public treasure, escaped at the
commencement of the attack, without fighting at all, telling
their betrayed countrymen that they were going to attack the
Turks in another quarter of the island, to cause a diversion.
The Fart of St. Nicolo, with a handful of men in it, was blown
up by the Turks on Sunday morning. The Turkish fleet will
go next to Samoa, which will most likely be attacked in a few
dais.
P.S. The island of Samos has sent in its submission ; and
expresses have been sent into Constantinople, and to the Gap.
tarn Pachas's fleet, to announce the event. A tatar passed
through here this morning bearing the express."

EXTRACT OF A LETTER DATED TRIESTE, JULY 27.
he island of Ipsara, a little north-west of Scio, has been
attacked by the Turks: this was a small place, but the inha-
bitants were considered able mariners, and brave determined
men, whom the Musselmen resolved to extirpate. After a des-
perate resistance, which is stated to have cost the Turks 15,000
men, the place being strong, they succeeded in goiving pos-
session of tt. The surviving Ipsariots resolving not to let their
wives and daughters fall into the power of their foe, mindful
of the fate of Scio, assembled the remaining population in the
fort, and blew themselves up, involving multitudes of their
conquerors in their destruction. The islanders, about 8,000 or
10,000 persons, were thus all destroyed by the sword, or their
own act in this tragedy."

(From the Etoile, dated Monday, Aug. 9.) •
PAnes, AUG. B..—.it was to be presumed that if the mehtn.
choly news of the taking of *lpsara by the Turks was authentic,
the Austrian Observer would soon confirm it. In fact, we find
the following account in its number of the 29th of July :
" Constantinople, July 15.
" An officer of the Captain Paella, who arrived yesterday in
this capital, brought the agreeable news of the taking of the
important island of Ipsara by that Admiral.
" It is already known thm the number of brass guns, mor.
tars, &c. which he has taken, is nearly 200, and the number of
the vessels of all descriptions, and small, above 100. There
are 28 which are so completely equipped and armed that they
will immediately accompany the Turkish fleet in its cruise.—
Three large corvettes were on the stocks.
" Before the attack the Captain Pacha had proposed to the
Ipsariots an entire amnesty, on the sole condition of their giving
up some chiefs of the insurrection, and paying the capitation
tax at the end of the year on the ancient footing.
" After the taking of Ipsara the Captain Pacha proceeded
against Samos."

-The Augsburg Gazette of the 3d of August contains a letter
from Odessa of the 20th of July, which contains the same news.
It is observed in this letter, that the Ipsariots could not accept
the amnesty, knowing that in the language of the Turks am-
nesty and massacre are synonymous terms. The example of
Scio proved this.—The greatest joy (adds the writer of the let-
ter) prevails at Constantinople. It is feared that this event
may have an influence on the diplomatic relations of the Otto-
man Porte.

We have received papers from New York to
the 16th, and from Philadelphia to the 14th ult.
The following are extracts:—

wide awake to the intention of the Holy Alliance, and had
adopted the moat energetic measures to oppose any invasion
that might be attempted. The following bill passed both
Houses of Congress, and received the Vice-President's sanction
on the 6th of May :

" A passenger in the schooner Mary Ann, arrived just as
our paper was going to preaft, from Alvarado, informs us,
that a French brig was captured by the pirates off Alvarado
bar, and was re-captured by the Mexican schooner Analwc.—
The captain and crew of the French brig were landed on the
coast, and were on their way to Alvarado. The public mind
was greatly agitated at Alvarado, on hearing that Iturbide was
on his way to that place from England.

" By the schooner Noel, Captain Snow, arrived at this port
yesterday in 28 days from Tampico„ we learn at the time of
her sailing no intelligence of political movement had been re-
ceived from the interior. The United States' ship John Adams
was there, to sail for Vera Cruz in four or five days, and the
United States' schooner Pox, to sail for New Orleans in eight
days. The Noel brought home the mate, two men, and a boy,
belonging to the late schooner, Racer, of Philadelphia, cast
away on Tampico bar on the 21st May.

" Important intelligence repersenting the designs of Spain
on her lute Colonies, has to-clay reached us by the arrival of the
Colombian armed brig Agnila, Capt. Cottrell, in 14 days from
La Guayra. We shall state what has been politely commu-
nicated to us by Capt. Cottrell.
" Ile had been cruising off Cadiz for a considerable time, and
sailed from thence on the 4th May, at which period there were
in that harbour, of Spanish, one 64, one frigate, anti one brig
of twar • of French, one 74, two frigates, and one or two
brigs of' war. The three Spanish vessels were exercised daily,
frequently running down with A fair wind to the bar and warp-
ing up. Captain Cottrell understood from prisoners he made
from time to time, and from neutrals, with wheals he spoke,
that the object of this kind of naval exercise was to snake
sailors and prepare them for an expedition against South Ame-
rica. It was reported to him from various quarters that the men
on board the Spanish ships served with great reluctance, that
they had been forced into the service, and were severely treated;
prisoners and neutrals agreed in • this statement. There were
few it any Spanish troops in Cadiz, the place was garrisoned by
the French ; and all reports from the shore agreed in stating,
that 40,000 additional troops from France were expected to
enter Spain. There was a considerable number of merchant.
men in the harbour capable of being easily converted into trans.
ports, to carry a large amount of troops ; but so far as could be
ascertained, there were no troops, except French. The expe-
tlition spoken off was said to be destined for the Pacific.
" Information of much importance was obtained by Captain
Cottrell the day subsequent to.leaving his station off Cadiz, the
whole of which we are • not permitted to publish ; but the
following arc ii few of the particulars :
" On the sth of May he .came up with the Sardinian brig
Themislocles bound from Havannah to Gibraltar and Genoa;
on nearing her, he observed a paper package floating a-stern,
when lie sent out a boat and secured it. On examination, he
discovered what was sufficient to awaken his suspicions. Ne
immediately boarded the brig, and after a diligent search found
himself in possession of dispatches from the Havannah to the
Spanish Government, with official, letters from General Mo-
rales, anti one from the General to his sister In Spain. This
was a prize more valuable than gold or silver. The letters con-
tained a detailed plan of a combined expedition from Havannah
and Cadiz, proposed to be against one of the South American
States, enumerating. such points as the General conceived to be
vulnerable, and designating such persons on the proposed the-
atre of war as the Spanish Government could confide in and
correspond with. We have not permission to go further in the
statement, but the importance of the fact we have communi-
cated is obvious."

" The business of this Opera arises nut of the irregularities
which occur in the family of Don Christopher, the Alcaid, a
very self-sufficient personage, who belieVes that nothing can
escape his observation, and who considers his wife, his son,
his mete, and himself, to furnish " a constellation of virtue,
not to be equalled in all Spain." But the wife who can only
find pleasure in obedience, de,ires to go to a masquerade, which
the Aleaid wishes her not to viii. She and her niece are enabled
to go by the connivance of a faitlyid Secretary, who is as great
a paragon in his way, as the other individuals, who are so many
ingredients in the Don's cup of bliss. Some embarrassment
arises out of the masquerading as the Lady loses the key of her
chambers, and cannot regain her apartment without being seen.
The Don's suspicion is roused by seeing the wife and niece in
their evening finery at an early hour in the morning; but the
Secretary Pedroso, who lies for the whole dramatis personae,
gets them out of the scrape by pretending they had resolved on
celebrating the Akaid's birth-day a month before it arrives.
The same story accounts for the sudden appearance of the son
who was supposed to be studying at Salamanca, but who has
been detained by a love affair at no great distance from the re-
sidence of his father. Both son and niece
,brise their hearts
where it was not the intention of the Akaid to see them be-
stowed ; but after a good deal of contusion, concealment, and
discovery, he is reconciled to the choice which they make for
themselves, and two additions are supplied by marriage to this
exemplary family,,with a fair prospect of a further increase."
To Mr. KENNY, le whom the Public are in-
debted for many amusing dramatic works, is this
Opera attributed. Our Competitors in the
Morning Papers have treated the piece with
more critical severity than could reasonably be,
expected, considering that this Theatre has ge-'
nerally been the receptacle of light compositions
suited to the summer season. If the Alkaid is
not equal to the former dramas, of Mr. KENNY,
it is yet by no means devoid of interest or amuse-
ment. The main, point, in which the Alcaid
forms a favourable conception of all the persons
comprized in his family, and connected with it,.
and which is in total 'opposition to their habits,
follies, and vices, affords a diverting contrariety,
and the illustration of his mistakes, in the conduct
of the plot, as they all act in perpetual contra-
diction to his expectations, while he continues in
the sante kind of delusion, heightens the general
interest, and keeps the audience in a state of sus-
pence that induces them to look with some
anxiety towards the development, when he is to
be undeceived, and to know the real disposition
of those in whom he had reposed a full conviction
of their respective virtues. This state of sus-
pense fully answers the purpose of Comedy,
and is very ingeniously sustained. The dia-
logue is generally marked by that equivoque,
spirit, and smartness, by which the productions of
Mr.K EN NY have hitherto been characterized ; and,
as we attend a Summer Theatre for temporary
entertainment rather than- to indulge in critical
spleen, we doubt not that the Public will be of
our opinion, and that the new Opera will receive
that countenance to which its inherent merit and
the general excellence of the acting entitle it.—
The !mese 'twos lull, and Ombra was liltls opPosi-
lion, except to one scene or incident, which, of
course, will he omitted in the future representa-
tion. Thy Music was composed by Mr. NATHAN.
It is sprightly, and suitable to the words, and if
some passages remind us of other compositions,
we should consider the diffictilty of avoiding all
similitude, and of displaying pure originality iu
any works of this description.

The Victoria, Captain FORBES, has arrived in
the River, having sailed from Morant flay, Ja-
maica, on the 22d of June. The Captain states,
that tranquillity had been restored in Hanover,
and in the adjacent parishes.

By letters received from Havre, it appears,
that the Hay tian Deputies are about to leave
France immediately, having abandoned all hopes
of prevailing on the French Government to re:
cognize the independence of St. Domingo.
Advices have been received from Maranham to
the 27th of June. The peace of the place had
not, we understand, been disturbed since the
sanguinary commotions which broke out in the
beginning of the month. The public mind
seemed to be settling down into a state of tran-
quillity._ _

By a Danish ship of war advices were received
yesterday from the island of St. Thomas, dated
the 14th of July. This vessel is stated to have
sailed four days subsequently to the packet,
which has not yet arrived, but brings no news of
importance. All was quiet at Laguayra on the
30th of June. By accounts from Bogota, dated
May 27, it was stated, that the Colombian Go.
verninent had drawn bills on Mr. HURTADO, to
the amount of 50,0001., in anticipation of money
to be raised in this country. Intelligence of his
contract could not have reached Bogota.
[Extract of a letter, dated Zante, July G.] : We have the
pleasure to say, that the advice, front all quarters are of the
most satisfactory nature, as respects the affairs of Greece. The

By a vessel arrived from Hydra, we hear that the Greek aqua-
dron was ready for sea, they having raised a temporary loan
for that purpose."
MANUFACTURED Goons.—By an edict issued
at Batavia on the 14th of February last, it is ordered, that " all
woollen and cotton goods, the manufacture of countries to the
westward of the Cape of Good Hope, imported direct from such
places, in foreign or Netherlands bottoms, after the date of this
edict, shall pay a duty of 25 per cent. ad valorem, at the time
imported ; and if imported from any of the foreign settlements
to the eastward of the Cape, a duty of 35 per cent.
The Ocean, Maimig, from New South
Wales, has arrived in the Downs. She left the
colony only a short time subsequent to the late
arrival, and brings no intelligence of interest,
beyond the assurance of the settlement being in
a healthy and highly flourishing state. The
number of inhabitants was daily increased by the
arrival of settlers from this country and Scotland,
many of whom are persons of great respectability.
Sir JOIIN NEWPORT has canvassed Waterford
