FRANKFORT, DECEMBER 26.

The Augsburgh Gazette reports that the famous
Churschisi Pacha, who had been defeatei near Ther-
mopylss, had offered a large sum for the ransom of
his harem, which had fallen into the puwer of the
Greeks at Tripolizza : and that since the refusal Of
Demetrius Ypsilanti to accede to this offer, it was
not known what had becomeof Churschid.
According to letters from Seres, the Greeks had
permitted the Turks to enter the fortifications of
Cassandra ; but it was an ambuscade, from which not
one was able to escape.
A letter from the banks of the Danube, dated 25th
December, says, the eastern part of Macedonia
has been again the theatre of a sanguinary battle.
The Pacha of Salonica having promised the Grand
Seignior to make himself master of Cassandra and
Mount Athos, made several attacks on the entrenched
position of the Greeks without success; but all these
defeats did not induce him to relinquish his enterprise.
—Having received new reinforcements, and, among
others, a body of troops which had been stationed in
the environs of Constantinople, he marched Lion' Sa-
lonica, towards the end of November, and renewed
his attacks. The Greeks defended themselves with
great bravery, and repulsed the Turks. Notwith-
standing some partial successes which they obtained.
the Pacha was obliged to retire suddenly, and some
of the fragments of his army returned to Salonira
on the 3d of December. The other troops remained
in entrenchments in the neighbourhood of Cassandra.
It is said that the Pacha will not renew his attacks
until he has assemhled new troops.
The commerce of Salonica is in a state of great
stagnation. The Greeks continue to blockade the
port by a flotilla, and will not suffer a single ves-
sel to go in or out. The greatest excesses hate been
committed in this city and in the .environs.

HANOVER, NOVEMBER 30.

The visit of his Nlaje.ty to this country seems to
L ire rendered the necessaries of life cheaper, rather
e•an dearer. The farmer suffers severely by this cheap-
ress, because the prices do not cover the expenses,
and there is no p: ospect of any improyement in the
.:ices without exportation of the corn by sea. But
ven all the mercantile ingenuity of the Hanseatic
;:ies cannot hring this about, since even the Swedish
ahtsignments of corn to .England and Italy have
ailed, though they were undertaken with resources
ar superior to v hat the Hanseatic cities can com-
land. Thi. state of things is calculated to excite un-
a.iness. Beady money vanishes. Gold is at above
en rer cent. agio, though the English course of ex-
;lan:.;:! falls; because the importation of goods de-

rate. as winter aispmaches ; and because, in general,
Ntie declines, the landholder?, from the highest to the
~west being compelled to limit their expenditure,
.:ot the gold alone, but even the heavy silver coin,.
.ows away incessantly through Hamburgh ; the spe-
ies dollars (crown-pieces) are at a premium of one
er cent. even in Leipsic, and the Prussian coin
omen more and more into circulations But even
be dollars of this coin will soon take the same road,
nless a happy turn of fortune should open some
ent for the German manufactures. The purchase
.t some thousand horses for the French cavalry is as
othing set against such great losses, and has had no el-
ect. The report that our troops would be taken into
'nglish pay has long since subsided, to the regret of
he soldiers. According to the regulation of the
General Military Tribunal, a Member of the Chan-
cery of Justice is to be added to it, and has to speak
n all cases which involve capital punishment,
he Tribunal may mitigate the sentences of the
'ourts Martial, but not add to their severity.—
e Royal confirmation is required only in cases
•f sentences against Officers to more than one year's
mfinement to a fortress, Itc. and the King's con-
,: oration is also required only for such cases, and for
e penalty of death : in all other cases the presiding

beneral-in-Chief is authorised to this end, on the
roposal of the Auditor in the General Military Tri-
L,nal. The Gendarmes (Land Dragoons as they
Ere called) will undergo some change. The States,
i: is well known, have agitated the question of re-
-I.r ping them. The Assembly of the States .of the
Kingdom is summoned for the 28th January, and
611 have to deliberate on many subjects connected
the public distress.
