IJamestant-C4losel Caron, already compromised in the 021,1'
racy of the Ilith of August, 1020, and an old soldier, &wird
Roger, who for some Tan 'directed the menage at Colmar, bad
formed the project of seducing the &awaken of the 44th Regi-
ment of the Line, of the Chassears et Maier, and the Chaperon I
of la Charente. They are stated to bete made a considerable
distribution of money; and they constantly repeated, that they
acted by thine of orders transmitted by a directing Committee
in the capital. They promised that several of-their accomplices
should join them between Mulliamen and Colmar, as soon as
they bad succeeded in collecting some squadrons. Caron an-
nounced his intention then to be, to deliqu the accused at Bel-
fort, but afterwards altering his opinion, be postponed this deli'
verance till the moment when the rebels should have received
the reinforcements which he promised them.
" The concerted movement took place on the sd of July. A
squadron of hone chasseurs of whom Caron thought
he had seduced, and in the ranks of which were two Mims
clothed in the uniform of private chasseuri, left Colmar at five
P.M. under the conduct of the Chief Marescbal de Logis,
Thierry. At the same hour a squadron of horse chasseurs, la
Charente, in the midst of which were Captain de Nicol and four
other Officers, clothed as privates, left New /Minch, under the
conduct of the Mareschal de Logis, Gerard.

On mounting their horns, the two squadrons were in-
formed that they were about to act fee the King's service, and
they received orders scrupulously to execute all the orders pre-
scribed to them by their sub-officers. They obeyed, with a praise-
worthy fidelity, the instructions received from their superior
Officers. The secret 'of the machinations of Caron were confided
to powards of fifty persons, amongst wheat were a great num-
ber of aub-officars ; but nothing transpired tin the arrest of the

traversed Hastatt and Roussach, shOuting " Vive rEmpereur.*
The frightened peasants took flight at his approach.
" Caron, on quitting Roussach, went to Mayenheim, where
he found, in order of battle, the squadron of Chasseurs of La
Charente, come.from Brisacb. ' Soldiers,' said he to them, ' you
have sworn to follow your Sub-Oflicers everywhere. French
soldiers will not be wanting to their oaths. I command you. in
the name of the Emperor, to follow me.' This harangue ter-
minated, he set of towards Ensisheim.

" On his way, he spoke with contempt of Berton and the other
conspirators, who had not succeeded, he said, In raising fifty
men, whilst he was already at the head of two squadrons, and
bad his infantry waiting at Co/mar.
" Arrived near Ensisheini, be announced the intention of
forcing an entrance; but Thierry and Gerard opposed it, re-
minding him that this was not what he promised, and calling
apon him to conduct them to the rendezvous of his partisans.
" Caron then went towards Battenheim, but the refusal be
had met with having excited disquietude, Roger and himself re-
sumed their Bourgeois habits, and attempted to escape. It was
then that they were arrested. They appeared much confused
on seeing Captain Nicol. The ehasseurs afterwards returned to
Colmar with their prisoners."

By this mysterious account, it would appear that
CA noN, like BiRTON, was betrayed. The success
of Wotan., who betrayed the litter, in being ad-
vanced for his bravery and honour, may have caused
this second instance of unsoldierlike treachery. The
French army is disgraced when soldiers earn promo-
tion and the Legion of Honour by being spies and
informers.

It is repotted that General BIRTON has refused to
answer any interrogatory, on the ground that the
Chamber of Peers is alone competent to try him.
Private letters, on which considerable reliance may
be placed, represent the Greeks as successful in seve-
ral engagements with the Turks. It appears that a
very obstinate battle was fought, on the first of April,
near the village of St. Marina, where the Greek
forces bad formed a junction during the night. In
these different battles, the Turks lost 500 men, the
number of the wounded being triple, and the loss of
the defenders of Greece only amounted to SO killed
and wounded. Their enemies being no longer able to
resist, shut themselves up in the fortress of Zitouni,
where they were besieged. It the meantime the
corps which proceeded in the direction of Neopatras
attacked the Turks, who, being unable to stand their
ground, abandoned that town, and withdrew to Lio-
nacladi, an open village.
A letter from Corfu, dated June 4, says, 16 The
Turks, to the number of 22,000, and under the com-
mand of Omar Pacha Unconi, are marching on us.
—When we learned this news we counted our-
selves, and found we amounted to 4,400 men, well
armed." Notwithstanding this small number, the
Correspondent says, the brave Suliots gave battle,
when a considerable number of the enemy were killed.
They transported to Janina 700 wounded, and 600 to
Paramythia. The number of the killed and wounded
of the enemy amounts to so many as 4,500. After
this battle, the Suliots took the position of Kiapha,
waiting for their General, Marco Bonari, who left the
Peloponnesus, and arrived at Compoti with 3000
Greeks. A more recent letter states, that the General
had formed a junction with his countrymen.
Another letter from Messologgi, dated the 26th of
May, contains the following details :

HASSAN NONA, drunk with the blood of the in-
nocent which he shed at Niaousta, marched on
Agraphe at the head of 3000 men. There the Greeks,
commanded by TASSO and STOURNANI, gave battle,
when they cut the troops of the PAcHA in pieces, and
are now masters of that town. .

The Captain of a vessel who quitted Messologgi the
Sd of June, writes the following news from Ancona:
44 The important fortress of Napoli de Romania has
surrendered to the Greeks, on condition of leaving the
Turks one-fourth of their movable property, and the
power of embarking in neutral vessels for Asia.
