CoNsTANTusIoPLE, JULY 26.--The Sultan has today
had three schooners to perform naval evolutions before
his summer palace at Beschiklash. When these were
ended' he went to Kiosk to exercise himself in the use of
arms with his pages. Perceiving in his excursions that
the streets and the country were deserted, he has given
leave to the warden to resume their promenades as usual,
and to be present at the exercises,
JULY 27. Count Lowenhielm, the Swolish Ambassa-
dor, has been to see the Seraskier at Eski Serai, aid to
be present in military uniform at the exercises there. The
-Pacha had a long conversation with him respecting the
formation and training of the new troops.
It is said that three soldiers have been strangled for
having fired their muskets; loaded with bull, while they
were at exercise. , The execution of a fourth is spoken of,
who attempted to poison the Seraskier. The high caps
of the bombardiers are to be changed; they opposed this
alteration, but now submit to it. •
JULY 28.—The evolutions of the schooners are conti-
nued; the Sultan has been again to the Kiosk with his
pages. A numerous crowd of both sexes followed him to
his palace on his return.
JULY 29.—1 t is said that the Porte has received news
of the submission of the Janissaries at Erzerum, but that
those of Orfu have mutinied. It does not appear that the
TOpschis oppose the intended changes in their costume.
Formerly they clothed themselves at their own expense;
they will be content in future to be clothed at that of the
Porte.
The Selictar is arming and. equipping 2 or 300 new
troops at his own expense..
• (To be continued to-morrow.)
We have received news from Constantinople to the 12th
of August. •
It is positively 'stated that the Sandjak-sheriff will be
taken in at. the end of this month (in the first four days of
September), and the reason is, that the Month of Sapherla,
the second in the Arabian year, is considered as a, bad
omen, during which they refrain from any change or any
important affair.
On the 9th there was a Council at Zed Khane, at
which the Seraskier Hussein Pacha was present; it sat
ten hours without interruption.. Commerce is in a deplo-
rable state ; money is extremely scarce in Constantinople.
Two Bin-baschis (Colonels) have been sent to Adrianople
and Salonichi to form 4,000 regular troops in each of those
cities. Daoud Aga (he who goes to Adrianople) is the
first Bin-basehi of the revolution ; he belonged to the army
in Egypt, and came to Constantinople with Nedschid
Effendi, soon after the first revolution of the lath June.
Sulymaii Aga, formerly a.Custom-house.officer tillamyrna,
was sent thither with a airman, ordering the exile and ex-
termination of the Janissaries of that city, but on the news
of their submission, this order was revoked. The Porte
then decided that.these..Janissaries should be formed into
regiments, and sent against Samos. A corps of 2,000
men has been formed of them. Every town, it is said,
is to furnish a certain number of boys from 12 to 14,
years of age for the marine. Philippopili sends 120 for
its contingent. The coffee-houses in ConStantinople are
not yet opened,
On the 10th August, the Sultan, Whited in the new
uniform which'he has chosen for the regiments in the capi-
tal (a light green), anti for the guard, began the manmuvr-
ing, and gave quite a new
,sight,—that of a sham fight.
The Sultan was at the head of a select corps. After
several evolutions, he sent for the Grand Vizier. As
soon as he appeared, the cavalry and infantry divided into
two corps of equal force, one of which remained under the
command of the Sultan, who immediately charged with
his corps : be galloped towards the Vizier, tired several
pistols, shot at him without ball, obliging him to retire.
Selim Paelat declined for a long time : he put: in only the
priming,. and fired towards the ground, notwithstanding
the orders of his sovereign. During these exercises the
ardour of Sultan Mahmottil was such, that he throw down
in a passion one of the pistols, which missed fire. The
Sultan took that day the title of Seraskier, and changed
horses three times during the evolutions, in which he was
distinguished by his activity.
A head with a white beard has been exposed at the gate
of the seraglio. It is that of an Albauian Chief come from
the country.
Yesterday the cavalry were exercised for •the first. time
in the Eski Serai.
PARIS, SEPT. 9.—To-morrow • the King Will -honour
with his presence the horse races in the Champ tie Mars.
News from Hayti say—" The corvette his had arrived ;
the French Consul-General hid been several times to the
Palace of the Government. It was generally believed at
Port-au-Prince, that all the difficulties relative to the
Treaty of Commerce were removed, and this was inferred
partieufarly.from the approaching departure of the ships
Deux Freres,l2.Emilienne,.and the General Foy, charged
in great part on the, account of Government."
The • Memorial Bordelais says, under the "head of
Bayonne, that the Duke del Infantado was coming to
France to take the waters of Bureges.

LECMORN, AUG. 26.—(Private Letter.)— After the
battle of Armyros, which lasted ten hours, Ibrahim Pacha,
on the 4th of July, landed A,OOO men at Deras. Not,
meeting any resistance, he burnt Pyrgos, Zimora, and fal-
vanced as far as Cacavoulia. Whilst his troops were thus
ravaging Laconia, he remained on board his vessel, and
with a fleet of eleven sail bombarded the villages along the
shore, for the purpose of terrifying the Spartans. But.
Constantine Mitvromiehalis, who, at the head of 2,000
men, happened to pass that way on his route to head-
quarters, marched his brave troops against the Arabs. A
fierce battle ensued, which lasted for three days; at last
the Spartans, having received some reinforcements, forced
the Arabs to retreat, and pursued them to their vessels.—
It is asserted that only some hundreds out of the 3,000
made their escape. A courier brought this news to
Nauplia, when Te Dcura was immediately performed; and
the guns of the fortress fired in token of the victory.
Letters from Corfu of the 9th of August, give still later
accounts. Ibrahim, furious at this failure, collected all his
forces from Mocks), Coron, stud Navarino, to the number
of about 12,000 ArtiVii;'. Albanians, Gueghes, and Turks
of the country, and seemed determined on resuming his
former mode of warfare in the interior of the Peloponesus.
He advanced as far as the defiles of Leondari. The
Greeks who guarded the passes allowed him to proceed
into the middle of the defiles, and then began to fire on
him with the utmost fury, animated by the recollec-
tion of their former victories. The numbers of the
Greeks increased every moment. New reinforcements
came from all quarters, and the enemy, finding that he
could not retreat,
sent a division of his army to open a
pasS4ge towards the left. When this division reached the
plain of Caritena, other Greek troops who were posted
there, fell upon them, and drove them back to places from
which they had the utmost difficulty to extricate them-
selves. Thus
cut oft; Ibrahim was obliged to retreat, and
was pursued by the Greeks to the plains of Calamata. The
enemy left 2,000 dead on the field of, battle, lost 250 pri-
soners, the third of his artillerY) his musical hand' and a
quantity of provisions. The C;reeks lost 250 men. The
Generals otarras and Jatracos are among the dead.
Mare than 200 are wounded. Among these is Gentle()
Colocotroni, son of Coloeotroni who received a Musket
ball in his foot. What affords the greatest encouragement
to the Greeks, is the firm determination of Mahomet-Ali;
Pacha of Egypt, to send no reinforcements to his soul.
The changes introduced among the Janissaries at Constan-
tinople, have made him entertain apprehensions. of the
future.

Last night, a boy about eight years of age, was
knocked down in Gray's-inn-lane by the horses of a hackney-
coach, and one wheel passed over both his legs. He was carried
by his fathsr to Dr. Taunton's, in Hatton-garden, and from
thence to Bartholomew's Hospital. His right leg was broke in
two places, and the left in one, besides other contusions.
