of his frigates burnt, and seventy smaller vessels taken,
Ho to Mitylene.
From the Greek Tdeg►raph of the 27th of July, pub-
lished at Missolonghi, we see that Te Deem had been
celebrated there, on account of the recapture of Caso,
lon which occasion nearly 2,000 Turks perished. It also
relates that the Ipsariots, after the taking of their
island, endeavoured to defend their fortified points, viz.
St. Nicolo, the Devil's Battery, and Anti-lpsara, and
employed the. Turks some days, till-the Hydi lots and
Spezziots arrived. The Turks had directed their at-,
tention principally to St. Nicolo, believing that they
should find these the :iches of the Ipsariots, with their
wives and children, most of whom had been sent away
but the heroic Maroaki, nephew of the ftnious.Wo•ooki,
of Sajansok, blew it up, with himself and his Spartan
comrades, by which nearly 4,000 Turks were killed.—
After this misfortune, confusion spread in the fleet, and
the Captain Pacha retreated from the island with part
of his ships, which the besieged perceiving, made sal-
lies, till at last assistance arrived.

According to accounts of the 20th July, from Smyrna
great consternation prevailed. in that city, and little
credit was attached to the declared intention of the
Captain Pacha to attack Ipsara again.

CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 26.

The Greeks are again masters of Ipsara, and all the
Turks in the island (some state them at 8000) were put
to the sword. The fugitive Ipsariots had joined, at
Syra, the Hydriots and Spezziots, and victoriously en.
cuted this bold enterprise. They took on this occasion
about 80 vessels, and burnt others. In the night of the
10th of July the roads of Ipsara resembled an ocean of
fire. The sensation caused here by this news isnot to
be described. The Turks are highly incensed against
the Franks, who had so exaggerated the first accounts
of the taking of Ipsara. This affair may very likely
cost the Captain Pacha his head.
The Smyrßean of the 17th July gives a very long ac-
count of the taking of Ipsara by the Tuikish fleet, of

`2OO sail, which agrees, on the whole, with those first
received by different channels. The garrison •f Saint
Nicolo having taken down the Ipsariot colours, hoisted
a white flag, on which were the words 4g Liberty or
Death." The explosion instantly succeeded, which
swept away Ipsariots and Turks in one common de-
struction, shook the island to its foundation, and con-
vulsed the sea for miles all round. The Ipsariots taken'
up from various points by English, French, and Aus-
trian ships, say they were betrayed by the Albanians,
or rather by the commander of those troops, named
Cotta, a man of bad character, a Greek renegado, who,
since the Greek revolution, had returned to Christianity.
Suspicions had been excited against him, and an inves-
tigation was made ; but as nothing could be proved
against him, he was placed at a part of the island which
was deemed inaccessible, and here it was 3,000 Turks,
landed.

The Sn:yrnean says the Captain Pacha would remain'
at Mitylene till the Carbans Bairam—that is in about
a month. Forty thousand troops were assembled at
Scala Nova, the Turks being attracted from all points
of Asia Minor by the hope of plunder.
The Captain Pacha gave the most distinguished re•
ception, before Ipsara, to the Commander of the French
squadron, M. Droualt, who, in a long conference, was
convinced that the Admiral is animated with the most
generous sentiments towards the vanquished. Two
days after this visit the Captain Pacha, on the proposal
of M. Villeneuve, a French officer, sent one of his chief
officers on shore, to induce the Turks to offer a capitu-
lation to the Greeks in Fort St. Nicolo, but in vain :
the incensed Mussulmen breathed only vengeance. It
is reported that the Captain Pacha deeply regretted
that he could not save the lives of this handful of brave
men. He receives in the most gracious manner all the
European Commanders and Officers who wait on him.

The Belina, WILDGOOSE, has arrived at Deal, and
the Essequibo in the Clyde, both from Demerara. They
bring Papers to the 11th of July, but they possess no
further interest than furnishing evidence that all re•
mains tranquil in the Colony.
It is generally known that for some time past the
health of the King of FRANCE has been precarious, yet,
frequently, while reports on our Stock-Exchange have
represented him as dying, he has been transacting bu-
siness with his Ministers, holding levees, or taking a
tide in the environs of the capital. The last accounts
from Paris, however, represent the health of the KING
as declining, and all the politicians are on the qui vive
to turn the anticipated demise of the Sovereign to
advantage. M. de VU.LELE is courting popularity by
several new Ordonnances; and the opposition of all par-
ties, Liberals and Ultra Royalists, ate speculating on his
fall. One of the Gentlemen who went to Paris on business
connected with the Spanish Loan, and has just returned,
says the KING is much indisposed. The Etoik of Sun-
day, however, states, that on the pi eceding day his
MAJESTY " took an airing in an open chaise, and drove
towards St. Cloud ;" which is certainly rather at va-
liance with the reported increasing indisposition. The
s4rneJournal contains the following:

His Majesty had been advised not to hold a Court on the day
of the fete, for fear he should undergo too much fatigue. He an.
swered, A King of France may die, but he never must be ell !'—
words entirely worthy of a great Prince. Receiving the diplomatic
body, his Majesty spoke to each Ambassador separately. He said
to Baron Vincent, who is shortly to return to Vienna—' Baron
Vincent, I ant happy to see you once more !"five reply which his
Majesty made to the discourse of the Nuncio filled all those who
beard it with surprise and admiration.
"'rive Moniker contains an ordornance regulating the dress of the
Councillors of State."

Mr. Secretary CANNING, who, as we stated on Satur•
day, had gone to Mr. %Vassar Howrou's villa, Sudbrooke Park,
near Richmond, came to town this :limning, in company with
Mr. II0A7tow; and after they had trans.icted business at thur
respective Offices, they returned to Sudhrooke Park to dinner.
We arc happy to add, that the Right Hon. Secretary is nearly te-
covered from his recent indisposition.
