'have excited considerable curiosity. The Military L' ons-

they cannot answer for their men; in consequence of
which, no troops have been sent- towards the coast.-,-

_are demanding to be allowed to'

and dissatisfied. Everything, in fact, has changed in
appearance lately, niore particularly public opinion.
The general cry is against the French. The morning
the lodgMent was effected in Tarifa, the corners of the
streets in Cadiz were covered with pasquinades, and
numerous proclamations were found in different parts
of the town. Everything announces important events
in this unhappy country."

Don Joseph. O'Donnel, Commandant-General of the
Camp of Gibraltar, has addressed to the Minister of
War a Report, dated from Algesiras, the I Ith of Au-
gust, of-which the following is an eetract
" The fortress of Tarifa would have been restored to
the power of the King on the night id the Bth instant,
if we had succeeded in blowing up one of the gates,
which was the object of the fire, and of the operations
of our allies, the French; but the barrel of powder des.
tined for this purpose was of so bad a quality that we
found it impossible to ignite it.
" In the night of the 10th there arrived to ns, from
Cadiz, four additional pieces of ordnance, which are
abont to be mounted. The tempest whitharecurred on
that day compelled us to suspend oar labours. The re-
bels sought to avail themselves of it to escape by sea ;
they had, hqwever, only a small boat capable of con-
taining at tht most a dozen men. Our nasal farces,. on
the other hand, inerealed considerably;

Lopez Main°, wandered in the mountains. A Royalist

" All the moon of Ronda flew to arms amidst

" The rebels, shut up in Tarifa, are in want of provi-
sions; but they have wine and.money, as they give their
soldiers ten reals per day."
. The Exiraottlinary &mite, which was published ye..
terday evening, contains a second Report from General
O'Donnel to the Minister -of War, in tenour surfollows:
" Long live the King I The clock is sounding
wight, and I have this instant received a note from
Count d'Astorg, Commandant of the siege of Tarifa.,
The fortress,' he writes, 4 was carried this evening, the
.19th, at five o'clock. The rebels have, unfortunately,
succeeded in taking refuge in the isle of Tarifa.'
" This note was brought to me by.an Officer whom
I had left, for the purpose, with Count d'Astorg. He
has given me an account of the opening of the breach,
*hich was effected after two hours' filing. The rebels,
seeing this, offered to negotiate, by a flag of truce, in
order to gain time to escape. The women instantly
appeared on the ramparts, waving their handkerchiefs,
and shouting Long live the King!
Our troops entered. through the breath without re-
sibtance. The fort St. Catharine, which defende the
Isthmus between the town and the isle was carried by
Storm, and almost without loss.
" Thesame Officer informs me that it is decided to
attack the Isle in the course of the night, by a descent,
for which preparation is made. The rebels are reduced
to their own resources : all the individuals whom they
bad induced. to take part in their projects, have aban-
doned them. (Signed) 4, J. C.l'DoNnzt.r..

" ORDER OF THE DAY.
" A revolutionary party, consisting of about 100, bad taken poi-
session of the fortress of Tarifa, on the morning of the $d of Au 4
gust, after haiing surprised the Spanish garrison. The tebela, com-
' mended by an individual named Valdes, had increased their num-
ber by liberating tile galley-slaves who were in priton at Tarifa—a
recruitment worthy ul them; these and some soldiers of the
garti-
spn, a few Spanish deserters and outcasts of society, who joined
them, augmented this troop to about 400 men-

.......s.---
FROM TSB ETOILE Or TUESDAY.
The Austrian Observer still maintains its 'finite oh the
affairs. of Turkey, which circumstance must be regarded
as a very favourable abgury for the Greeks: -Letters received From Coustasitinople, by the way of
Bucharest,- confirm in the most positive manner, the
retaking of Ipsara by the Christians ; and they even add
that the Bat barian fleet was blocked up at Mitvlene. '
On the evening of the 10th of August, two Tartars
arrived at Bucharest, who-had been expedited from Con-
stantinople on the Morning Of the 3d., Since their de-
Ininstere, it was strongly rumourgtfoliat the Capitan Pa-
chal hewing quitted the road of Alitylene, in order to set
sail, the Greeks had attacked him with great vigour,
and destroyed a great part of }cis fleet.
• The Greek Government • has taken measnres for re-
lieving the necessities of the families of the Ilisarior re.
fugees, as they had before promised the Ipsarints in the
event of disasters. They have declared to the Gore, n-
Iment,. with the gallant.Candro at their head, that either
they will annihilate the Capitan Pacha, or • perish.
Nicolides, a Member of the Government of Ipsara, was
an eye-witness-of these scenes, in conseqUence of which
Te Deunt was solemnly celebrated ; during this cere-
mony news was received that the Hydriot vessels had
appeared before Ipsara, and had seized several Turkish
'vessels. There is a general joy occasioned by the con-
Iviction that the Capitan Pacha's pssent campaign will
terminate as shamefully as the former.. • - •

1 PRIVATE CpRRRSPONDENCE-
" SmYRNA, JULY 12.—1 send you some ektrzets front
the official reports that have arrired here from Greece
within the last three or four days. .On the 9th of last
'month an officer from the Sublime Porte, accompanied
by 150 Janissariet went from Constantinople tePrevesa,
with an order to the Mueslin.of that town to deliver up
"tbe fortresses of Prevesa, Vonista, Arta, Parga, Vos-
tintro, and Scull. The Mueslin shut the gates against
the officer' .who' was, obliged tr..' sleep.tbat night in the
village of Kenirino, and the next morning he set out for
Janina with a similar message, where be met with a
tanner refusal by order of Omer Pacha. This latter,
notwithstanding the repeated orders from the Porte,
has not gone to Larissa to join the expedkioriprepising
there, wisely judging that it is only a noel° tnakt sure
of his person. He .has blockaded ip Perot, -his Meit
nephew, Hassan Bey, for acting contrary to hit orders.* 1
. ." The Greek General Sealtza has notified horn 'Li.
dorick, that there are at Larissa ten or twelve thousand
ilea, under Iskci of Percofasaie, Lieotenant of the Se-
raskier Pervisch Pacha. The Greek ,General Caraiscaki;
Accused of having relations with the enemy by General
aurocordato, has been tried and found guilty bye
Military Commission ; but his too indulgent judges
saved his life, deceived by his false demonstrations of re-
pentance, and even set him at liberty ; but the first me
he made of it was to pit liimielf at the head orsix di

add to join the Turks: His intentiotrowes, h seems, to,
raise the, whole oT Western Greece. As soon as this was
known, General Stoprniri and Colonel Lialita purstied
the traitor, and coming op with him in.the neighbour-
hood of lirobo and Notsica, they put him to the font,
and drove him towards Agrafa, where he was met by
General Rango, who defeated him, and "tilled. 150 of
his followers. After this last check, Caraiscaki, de-
spairing of Ms pioject, threw hiniself into the:monastery
of Anastisuis, at Karpemnisi, where he
.is besieged,
by Generils Rango and Stournari; who liepeevery mo-
ment to make themselves masters of him and his ban-
ditti. When this shall be accomplished,. lsese Generals,
with the 5,500 troops under' them, are to join Geperal'
Trionca, who is near Aria with 1,100 men, with *hi&
',aim& forces they will attack that fortress, whose 1
Turkish garrison consistrof ally 2.50 Mem The number
df,areek inhabitants is about 4,000. ~
.4! The Generals Miizo, Scaltza, Safakai, and Ma;
have taken possession of Aetos ; they ,also propose to
occupy Adria°, in' order 'to interrupt the designs of the.
enemy, who have come' from Santi. In ?bestially the
Greeks ate incessantly occupied in harassing the ?arks.
Armed bands are traversing the country in all directious,
.and raising the population.- * Captain, who had plated
'himself in ambuscade near Melacau, fell suddenly trim*
a detachment of Turkish troops, escorting there imperial
treasures, dispersed them, after killing forty, and took .
possession of the treasure, amounting to' 00.000piastres.
Another- Captain fell upon an escort conductiog several
thousand sheep to provision the fortresses; all of which
fell into the hands of the Greeks. A body of Hellenists,
informed that Jussuff ?Ache, Governor of Patras, bad
got together 8,000 men, 94000 of whom he intended to
seed to Zeitoun, and 1,500 to Patratziki, have set out,
by forced marches, to, take possession of the defiles.
The troops of the Pacha.of Scoudra peremptorily de-
manded the arrears of their pay, and three months in
advance, which completely paralyzes the Pach.s's pro-
jects. General Ulysses is about to employ the Turkish
prisoners in-digging for antiquities; in order to furnish
1 national museum. This idea has been given him by.
Colonel Stanhope.
