Advices fiom Bombay, to the Bth of June, have been
received, via the United States; but they contain no in-
telligence respecting the war with the Burmese. A
powder-mill at Papamow blew up on the 6th of May,
and killed 86 persons. The cholera morbus is said to
have made its appearance at Bombay.

This forenoon we received the Allgemeine Zeitung, to
the 25th ultimo, and the Austrian Observer, to the 19th
ultimo. It is stated, in an article from Trieste, in the
former, that there had been another battle between the
Greek and Ottoman fleets, in which the latter was
again defeated. The engagement took place on the
25th of September, between Patmos and Samos. The
Greeks, in these several engagements, are said to have
taken prisoners, IBRAHIM PACHA, SOS of the Vice-

roy of Egypt,:and the Vice•AAmiral IsMAIL G 111111.•
TAa, whose ransom may recruit the Greek treasury. It
is, indeed, said to have olreaky received an accession of
eight millions of piastres, taken from the Turks in the
late battles, in which nearly a hundred Turkish ships
are said to have been taken or destroyed. The follow-
ing are extracts :
TRIESTE, OCTOBER 14.

A vessel which his arrived in nine days from
Tchesme, brings the news, that on the 25th September
the Turkish and Egyptian fleets had another engagement
with the Greeks, between Patmos and Samos, in which
the former was again defeated, and fled to Mytilene.—
The whole Ottoman fleet consisted at that time of only
35 sail, which were encountered by 24 Greek ships. All
the Egyptian transports were either left at Boudroun, or
had been taken by the Greeks. Private letters from
Corfu, of 27th September, say, that Ibrahim Pacha, son
of the Viceroy, and Commander of the Egyptian exre-
dition, the well-known Vice-Admiral Ismael Gibraltar
and a Renegado, who bore the name of Pacha (formerly
Aid•de-Camp to General Grouchy), who had directed
for some years the Military affairs of the Viceroy, toge-
ther with eight millions in ready money, taken in the
late engagements, had been brought by the Greeks to
Napoli di Romania.

_
ANCONA, OCTOBER 8.
The following letter has been received here, and I
communicate at to you without being able to warrant
the truth of its contents:

a Co2nr, SRPTIMIIIit 27.

" News has been received, by Way of Ithaca, Zante,
and Cephalodia, that there have been great festivities in
the !Worm on atcount of chi !Mitt destruction of the
fleets from Alexandria and Constantinople. The Greek
heroes have already fought three battles with the Bar-
barians. After hiving, in the preceding actions off
Rhodes, C s, and the coast of daramania, burnt, taken,
'or sunk, nearly a hundred large and small vessels,
they at length succeeded in setting fite to Mehmed Ali's
last and finest fiigate.
"On board this frigate were the son of Mehmed AU,
Admiral Ismael Gibraltar, and a Pacha, by extraction
a Frenchman, who had apostatise) to •Islabometanism;
In their attempt to escape from the fire into another
ship, they got among the boats of the Greeks, which,
,on such occasions, are always at hand to make prisoners,
IThus they took the nephew of the Bey of Tunis, near
Samos). On this occasion they took Ibrahim Pacha,
the Admiral, and the French Pacha, Who, with a frigate,
a corvette, and a vessel which had on board eight mil.
lions of Turkish piastres, were brought in triumph
to Napoli di Romania In the second action, near
Rhodes, the Greeks took thirty-two transports, partly
of the Turkish, partly of the Egyptian fleet.

In a preceding column we have given a mass of in-
telligence from almost every part of South America,
all of which is irk favour of the independence of the
New States. The great contest is in Peruos here BOLIVAR
is said to have defeated CANTERAC. This statement is
corroborated by letters from Bogota in the National
Gazette of the sth ult. received this morning, which
also states that General CORDOVA, of the Colombian
army, was killed.
The accounts from Brazil confirm the submission of
Pernambuco, as stated in the STAR of yesterday. This
event took place on the 17th of September. Letters
from Sullivan's Island, of the 24th September, repro.
sent that place as in a deplorable condition, owing to
the ravages of the yellow fever. The inhabitants were
removing to Charleston for safety.
Letters from Carthagena of the 14th and 17th, also
state that BOLIVAR has defeated CANTERAC; but the
New York Gazette of the Bth ult. gives a report that
BOLIVAR had been defeated; this is thought to be
a mistake.

In noticing the case of Mr. FAUNTLEROY, on Satur-
day; we gave what appeared to us the most rational
way of accounting for the large sums withdrawn from
the public funds by this Gentleman. We did not, of
course, take into. consideration what Mr. F. states, that'
the money was thrown into the firm to support the cre-
dit of the house, nor shall we now stop to inquire how
far this was the case, as it is a point which the bankrupts
will no doubt be called on to explain to their creditors,
if not to the Bank of England.
It is evident, as we stated, that a large portion of the
money received by the late forgeries went to pay the
dividends of former ones; and we also alluded to the
probability that the wretched delinquent was sometimes
obliged to replace the stock, which, if any time elapsed,
would have increased considerably in price. Our con-
jecture as to the replacing of stock we find is true.
In the
.list: of powers of attorney forged by Mr.
Fauwmanny, and produced on his trial, the names of
PETER MOORE and JOHN MARSH, appear, for £21,100
Three per Cents. This sum, if actually withdrawn by
Mr. FAUNTLIROY, there is no cause to doubt was re-
'placed, as appears by a letter from Mr. P. Mower, in
the Herald of this morning, in which he states, that
the money was accurately accounted for, and punc-
tually paid by Messrs.Mansn and Co. and further, that
—" The fund, origina4 small, had, for a series of years,
been nursed and managed by these bankers, who ho-
nourably ani faithfully accounted to the executors
for principal and interest, on all the half-yearly
accumulations credited in dividends of the Bank of.
England, to the important amount, as well as I recollect,
if £24,000 and upwards."
Here then is one case, in which, although a forgery
was committed, yet the money was restored ; and we
are far from thinking it the only one. It is probable,
indeed, that extensive as the forgeries were, they, of
late years, were almost wholly absorbed in payiag.the
dividends of former forgeries, aid sometimes re

'placing the Stocic, at an advanced rate, is order to pre,
vent detection.

To the Bank of England, the time that has elapsed
since the forgeries were committed, makes the loss cot,
siderably heavier than k would have been, on account
of the great rise in the public funds. The case of Nl's%
YOUNG will spew this. It appeared in evidence un the
trial, that the 5,4501. Three per Cents. which stood in
her name, when sold out by a forged power of attorney,
in 1815, produced 2,9561. ss. The same amount or
stock, when replaced on the 22d of October, 1824, cost
4,8121. 10s.; here then is an increase in the value et
5,4501. stock of 1,8561.55.

The amount of forgeries, according to Mr. FAUNTI:-.
ROT.S own list, previous to the year 1816, was 170,(,
In that year the 3 per Centc. averaged about 62 or 64.._
they are now upwards of 96, 'at which price the st,xk
will have to be replaced. It is said, however, that the
Bank of England will Tut in a claim to prove as a g..
neral creditor to a certain amount, on the alleged
ground that the firm of MARSH and Co. has received
the money ; this will involve a point of law which wi:l
not so easily be determined.

Without insisting on the truth of Mr. FAUNTLEROVS
assertion, that the produce of his forgeries " went to
the geueral funds of the banking-house," and that
long as they %k ere provided, and the credit of the house
supported, no inquiries were made, either as to the
manner in which they were procured, or as to tile
sources whence they were derived." We say, without
insisting on the absolute truth of this statement, these
is enough to chew that the other partners mu.t have
been excessively careless about their afrairs, when the
youngest partner could be able, for a long series'of
years, to commit forgeries, and to manage all the
entries, and other arrangemeats which they must oc-
casion, without suspicion. Some explanation on this
point will, no doubt, be called for by the Public, if Ms
FA UNTLEUOY'S defence does not elicit it, which, we
• •
think, it ought to do.
