SATURDA' EVE2VIIVG, APRIL 16, 1826.

Although the fall of Missoloughi can admit no
doubt after the details that have reached us, of
the Egyptian forces having established them-
selves in the fort commanding the entrance
Of (ho harbour, We are still IA ithoitt any
authentic confirmation of that event. The
Paris Journals, received last night, give ex.
tracts 'from the Ale:trial: Observer of the 3d,
slhirlt is silent ou the subject, as also is the
Augsbiegh Gazette, which in a preceding num-
ber, had announced Missolonghi to be in pos-
session of the Turks. We are glad to see
that the details, in the Austrian ^Observer of the
3d, do not bear out the assertion of, the Turks
. •
having indiscriminately slaughtered the gar.
risons of Vassalidi and Anatolico. Tlie former
of those fortresses being carried by storm, the
greater part of the garrison fell in the attack,
but the garrison of Anatolie°, seeing that further
resistance would be fruitless, laid down their
arms, on condition of being permitted to retire
with their effects in the direction of Arta. It
is stated that some days before the capitulation,
100 Turkish prisoners had been put to death
by the Governor of A natolico. It will be seen
by the subjoined extracts from a Frankfort
Paper of the 7th, and a number of the Austrian
Observer "received this morning, that the Greeks
still continued in that disorganized slate, which
has so long rendered their cause hopeless, in the
opinion of such as were apprized of the jealousy
and distraction prevailing instheir councils:—

SMYWITA, .31Ancir 3.
The Oriental Specta4or contains a Lettpr froin Syra-of 19th
February, of which the following is an extract

" Ibrahim presses Missolonghi very closely, and has erected
batteries to destroy' the works of the town. A Greek Bishop
escorted by two Turkish officers, has arrived at Constantinople,
to induce the besieged to listen to reason, and to save them from
inevitable ruin. But this measure, prompted by humanity and
sound policy, has led to no result.

" As for the fleets of Hydra and Spezzia, they were at anchor
in the gulph of Lepanto, under the fort of.Vassiladi, where they
thought thetmtelves safe; when the Turks advanced to attack
them terror and confusion spread among the Greeks, who cut
their cables and fled in the greatest disorder. It was thus Ad-
miral Miaulis escaped. The Hydriots suffered the must, and
have retreated to Hydra to repair.
" In the Mores the Greeks have not been able to do any thing
to promote their cause. Colocotroni has attempted a• coup de
main on Tripolizza, where Ibrahim left 800 men. This garri-
son made an unexpected sally, and the Greeks were cut to
pieces by 200 cavalry, and afterwards by the infantry. The re-
mains of the Greek corps retreated towards Napoli, but the
Government could not allow them to be admitted, and Coleco-
trOni threatened to enter by ferce. Thus a civil war is expected
to be renewed, and the more so as the troops demand their pay,
and whether from want of money, or some other reason, no at-
tention is paid to them. The funds brought to Greece have been
squandered, Heaven kpows how. But if the Greeks have not
heen able to advance a step during the absence of Ibrahim, what
hope will remain wilen.the Egyptian army returns from its ex-

pedition ?
6' Besides Patras, Ibrahim has caused the two forts of Le-
panto to be given up to him, u making part of the Government

of the Morea. He has a quantity of faseines prepared to fill up
the ditches of Missolonglii."--(Frattifort Paper, April 7.)
• VIEWN'A, APR/ L 2.

-The supplies of provisions and ammunition conveyed by the
Greeks to Misselonghi at the end of January, seem not to be
sufficient to preserve the town kom want for, Iv length of
time. On the contrary, the Provisional Governmegkat Napoli
is reproached with having dissipated the large sumaerVing
from the English loans, instead of paying the arrears due to
the brave defenders of Misselonghi, and sending to their relief
a sufficient number of ships with ammunition and provisions.

—The troops in the Mores, too, clamorously demand their
arrears ; and It is generally 'affirmed that Colocotroni, since
his return from his unsuccessful attempt on Tripolizzs,
has assumed a threatening tone towards the Govern
ment at Napoli, and is supported by part of the Captains
of the Dydriot ships. Time will chew whether, under such
circumstances, the assembly of Greek Deputies convoked, first
to Argos, and since to Megara, to choose a new Government,
will really take place, and if it does, whether the. members of
the present Government will be comprised in, confirmed, or,
still greater dissentious excited by the election of others.--

The Brussels Oracle of • the 11th instant, re-
ceived this moruing,gives the particulars of an ac-
dident which lately happened to the king of the
NETHERLANDS. Ifis'Majesty, in visiting the new
buildings forming the left wing of the Pa.
lace, incautiously entering one of the windoWs,
in which the floor was not yet laid, slipped be.
tween the rafters, which, however, catching his
arms, supported him until he was released by his
attendants from so dangerous a situation :---
llaussaLs, APRIL 10.
During the short stay which his Alajesty made at Brussels,
he went to visit the building forming the left wing of the ,
Royal Palace -.which his Majesty has given to. Prince Fre.
derick. . Nye heard a great deal at the time of an acci-
dent which happened to his Majesty, and might have had ,
very serious consequences : all our Journals have thought -
proper to observe entire silence on the subject. This silence ,
has been broken by the Journal, of. Matthieu Lansbergh, pub-
lished at Liege, which, in an article dated Brussels 6th, relates
the affair as follows :
" The King lately went to see the state of the work, and the
new arrangement of the building. He went through the seve-
ral apartments, some of which are not yet finished, or even
floored. In one of the upper r::oms, where the floor was not
laid, his Majesty, not seeing the danger, trod on the lath and
plaster, forming the ceiling of the room below. It gave way, and
his Majesty would have fallen through the ceiling into the roo►ta
below, had he not been caught under the arms. by the two
rafters. By the assistance of the persons present, and his own
efforts his Majesty was extricated from this critical situation.
We are assured that, with the exception of a slight scratch on
the back, he has received no hurt, not even a bruise. When
we reflect on the injury this fall might have done his Majesty,
we cannot help blaming the negligence of the ,persons who at.
tended.hirn. and forgot toyarn bind of the danger; for it .is
still very,possible that the shock may affect his Majesty'
health.",—( Brussels. Oracle, April 11,)

relative to the expediency, or otherwise, of this measure at the'.
present moment. The system of raising loans has been de
nounccd very justly by the most celebrated writers on political
economy as in the highest degree 'dangerous .to the preere"
rity of a State, both from the pernicious consequences it
entails, and from the temptation it presents to the statesman In'
recur to it on every emergency, as the readiest means of ex,
tricating the country from temporary difficulties. Cieeum,
stances, nevertheless, frequently occur,when its adoption itleY be
justified ; and. Colombia has already seen herself under the
painful necessity of applying to foreigners for that pecuniary eta
which was essential to her existence. The sacrifice was imperil-
tire upon her, and the alternative alone could be
justification. Let us see whether the same reasons hold good
with regard to the proposal we have now under consideration'
The principal orpiment advanced by the advocates for this loan
is, that it will be the means of introducing an amount of real es"
pital into circulation, in lieu of the present Government Peer'
to PO:
which has only a nominal value; that this capital, applied

height of injustice to withold any longer the payment of villa:
is due to those who are holders of this class of Government se,
curities. At the same time! however,that this aniount Of espi.

tal is brought into circulation, it seems to be forgotten that
another proportion of real capital, already productively ern;
plotted, must be with drawn in the shape of taxes, to pay
the interests of 'that, which has been borrowed ; .and it
is a question, which, does not admit of doubt with us,
whether the price paid for it in the first instance, and the sub-
sequent expences attending it, prove not a greater. depression
to the productive labour of the country) in consequence of those
increased taxes ,which must be levied, than the corresponding
increase which is:.antieipated from ;the operation of the loan.
It is not! also•taken into calculation, that its proceeds cannot
all be. productively. employed) but that a very large amount
will go immediately itita.of the country, And produce none of
the beneficial °`- effectsitvbielkare sanguinely expected by the
friends of this. rneasttsee,. Ort!• the contrary, the whole of
the contributiona faiscato pay the principal and interest, must
come either from our-profits or capital ; and difficult indeed will
it be to prove that the .probable advantages are such, as will
compensate the certain disadvantages which a foreign loan al-
ways entails on, the:coluitrti which is compelled to borrow. If,
as has been corttended, thee. Republic will, in the 'course of
a few years, be able .to meet • the exigencies of the State,
why not wait patiently the developement of the resources
we already possess, rather than at once encumber it with a
weight of debt which may render for ever impracticable,
what at preient is attended only with difficulty ? If the case
be one of extreme urgency, which we really are not aware of,
better at once increase the amount of taxes ; and if the state of
the country be such as to preclude the adoption of such a step,
it only adds additional strength to our opinion of the im
polick of raising a loan, and thus still adding to the permanent
burthens di nation, whose resources are inadequate even to a
mere temporary exigency. With regard to tile justice of paying
our cretlitors,-.we should be the last to deny such a proposition ;
but we think that other plans might be adopted much more
advantageous to the interests of the country, than that
of exchanging a debt, the greater part of which bears no inte-
rest, for one which does, and which is accompanied with the
circumstances which we have just enumerated. We acknow.
ledge their claims; and hope that some means will be taken to
satisfy them, but 47 efirdnot quixotic enough, taprefer what, after
all, is but an tippeardnee Of generosity, to that which is in rigorous
justice due to the rest of our fellow-citizens. But after having
thus attempted to shew the real injury it would inflict upon the
country, another point of perhaps greater importance remains
to be considered, the effect it would have on our credit in Eu-
Me- What opinion can 'be formed of our national faith, if after
having twice raised money under a solemn promise of repayment,
we again go into the market a third time for the same purpose,
and with the same promises, before a single dollar has been sent
from hence to pay the interest of what we already owe, and before
a single statement hasbeen presented of our national revenueand
expenditure ! Out funds at present are lower than those of any of
the new AmeriCan States which have been recognised by Eng.
land, and the mortal blow which the sanction of a measure like
the one now' before us,vrould give to our already declining cre-
dit, is easily to be . conceived. To expect that men will be
found,' who will continue to lend as long as we feel dis.
Paled to' borrow, can only enter the head .of a madman ;
while the folly of talking of our immense national resources,
at the same : time that we are living at the 'expence of

foreigners, is too glaring to allow the assertion any longer

to have its effect. The circumstance, also, of raising a loan to
Ply a debt, the amount of which is not known, Seems so like
an anxiety to obtain money under whatever pretence, and
so unlike any intention to repay it, when we reflect on the
little that, has been;iione towards refunding What we have
before borrowed) that we are Confident the very slightest medi-
tation on the consequences it cannot fail to have on our charac-
ter for honour and gniid faith, will be sufficient to insure the
Telection of what, on xithet grounds, we have no doubt will be
greatly detrimental to.our prosperity and welfare."
