Letters have been received from the Agents to Lloyd's
at Smyrna and Constantinople, which represent the
naval successes of the Greeks as much exaggerated.
The Agent at Smyrna, under date of the 19th October,
says, " There has been an engagement between the
Turkish fleet and Greek ships, with but little damage
to either."

The following is as extract of a letter from the Agent
to Lloyd's at Constantinople, dated 25th October :
" The reports alluded to in my letter, of the 11th
instant, of an engagement between the Turkish and
Greek squadrons, appear to have been much exagge-
rated, the losses of the foi mer having been confined to
one frigate blown up, and two or three smaller vessels
destroyed ; whilst the latter have lost several fit e•ships,
besides having their fleet much crippled: nothing of
great importance appears to have been done on either
side. His Majesty's ship MiumwA, which met with an
accident in the Arches (was much less damaged than
at first reported), returned to the Dardanelles for his
Excellency Lord STRANGIORD, who embarked on board,
on the 15th instant."

By the Leeds packet, arrived at Liverpool, Papers
from New York to the Bth ult. have been received ; but
they contain no additional intelligence from Peru which
possesses any claim to authenticity. Accounts had been
received from Maracaibo, dated the 21st of September,
of a second battle in which BOLIVAR gained a complete
victory, with the loss of 6000 men, on the part of
the Royalists; but as they rest on the authority of
letters from Bogota, written as far back as the 22d of
August, later dates than which have been received in
England, tlhey are clearly entitled to no credit. The
question respecting the contest in Peru is, in fact, left
precisely where it was by the preceding arrivals from
New York. The widow and family of the unfortunate
ITURBIDE landed at Barataria, in Louisiana, on the 29th
of September, whence they proceeded for New Orleans,
where they arrived early in October. Madame ITUR-
BIDE, who was in a delicate state of health, intended
remaining a few weeks in the neighbourhood of New
Orleans, and when sufficiently recovered to bear the
fatigue of travelling, proceed through the western coun-
try for a northern port, and thence embark for Europe.
The contest for the Presidency of the United States
continues to be carried on with great activity, and in
the utmost height of party spirit. The partisans of
JOHN QUINCY ADAms and General JACKSON seem alike
boastful and confident of success. The more dispas-
sionate part of the Public are decidedly in favour of the
former, whom they characterize as the Man of Peace
anti Justice, while the latter is designated as the Man of
War and of Blond. The other tandidates, CLAY and
CnAwFotto, though each respecta'Ay supported, do not
appear to stand any great chance of success.

German Papers to a late date reached us this fore.
noon. They contain, from St. Petersburg)), an account
of a village of Jews, in the department of Cherson, en-
gaged in agricultural pursuits, which is recommended

as a model to the Jews in Poland. The following are

The measures lat*Orderid byt,the Emperor, relative
to the Jeivs in Poland, and fe desire expressed by, his
Majesty to make thew apply to agriculture, which has
already been often attempted in vain ; all these circum-
stances give an interest to a communication from the
South of Russia, by which we learn, that about five
miles from NiChotajew, in the Government of Cherson,
there has existed for several years a Jewish village, with
very fine fields and pastures, built and inhabited en•
tirely by I'sraelites.
This village, Jese Nahr, in the vicinity of which there
are six other smaller villages of the same kind, most of
them with Hebrew names, is inhabited by about fifty
families. Their fields are diligently and skilfully culti-
vated, though there is not a Christian peasant in the
whole village. They have good artisans and woi kmen
of every description, and are now building a synagogue.
As soon as the harvest is over, those who understand a
mechanical trade are allowed to go into the neighbouring
towns to exercise it, furnished with a passport from the
Magistrates. The women endeavour to earn something
during the winter, by getting work from the inhabitants
lof the towns, which thermake at home.

The young Colony is indebted for its origin and pre-
sent prosperity to Nahum Funkelstein, who was in the
sequel its chief Bailiff. Though he is himself a' rich
man, he set his brethren the example, by keeping his
own children assiduously employed in agricultural 14-
bour ; and by thit., and through indefatigable industry
and patience, he has brought the little community to
its pi et•ent thriving condition.
