The HISTORICAL VOLUME of The New Methodical
Cyclopedia will be ready on the 20th. It is the first
Dictionary of History and Historical Biography
which has appeared in our language.
Advices from Smyrna of 'the 20th of November,
state that city as enjoying greater tranquillity than at
any former period since the commencement of the
war. The Greeks are in high spirits, on account of
their'successes at sea. The Turks, notwithstanding
their extensive preparations,had accomplished nothing.
Their last attempt was to relieve Napoli di Romania,
on which occasion they convoyed up some Austrian
vessels, freighted with provisions ; and were assisted,
it is said, by the French Naval Commander on that
station. But neither this assistance, nor the protec-
tion of the Austrian flag, could conquer the terrors
which the Turks experienced at the sight of 16 Greek
fireships, placed on both sides of the Gulf. They
made,. in consequence, but a feeble effort to re-
lieve the garrison, and were fairly beaten out of
the Gulf by the Greeks, who captured the Aus-
trian vessels under the very guns of the enemy.
The Turks shewed such symptoms of consternation
in their retreat, that they kept continually firing
their stern guns, fancying the Greeks were in pursuit.
They paid, however, the Austrians their freight to
Napoli ; but the captured property was condemned
by the Greeks, in spite of the menaces of the Austi ian
Admiral. It appears That our Officers have instruc-
tions more consistent with the principles of strict
neutrality.; and they are not allowed to protect any
vessels proceeding to a pine which the Greeks
blockade by sea and land. The last paval operation
of the Greeks was their sending twelve ships to
blockade Patras, which was very much straitened ;
whilst Napoli, Corinth, and Modon were expected
to s.cit render.

New York rapers of the 17th ultimo have reaehed
us. It appears by advices from Lagnayrzto the 22d
of November, that the Republicans were cirtic'etti.
crating their forces for the purpose of making a joint
attack on M,ottm.zs in Maracaibo, but no action had
taken place. The New Orleans sloop, formerly the
BaPPhtre,. 494,0 e Aloeq:OM trig of war, both said to
be purchaSeci of the British Govertitoent for. the ser-
vice of Colombia, had arrived itaagnayra with arms
andspecie on board. A message fi om the PRESIDENT
of the UNITED STkrEs to,the Senate, on the subject
of piracy, was delivered on the 9th ultimo, in which
he recommends to Congress the most efficient mea-
sures for its suppression, particularly advising the
organization of a description of naval force capable
Of pursuing the .pirates into those shallow waters
whOre they are accustomed to take refuge. This
Message has been acted on with so much promp-
tititde, that, as we find by. the National Intelligerwer'
of the 14th ult. a Bill was brought into the House of
Representatives on the 13th, which was read three
times, and passed the same day, authorising the
appropriation of a sum of 160,000 dollars to the
carrying into effect the suggestions of the PRESIDENT'S
Message. An amendment, in the course of the dis-
cussion on this subject, was proposed by. Mr. A.
SMITH, of Virginia, for 64 authorising and requiring
the PRESIDENT to pursue the pirates by land, on any
of the West India islands to which they may resort,
as well as on the ocean, until they are exterminated."
This amendment was `negatived, on the ground,
as argued by Mr. BAnzoun,..the Speaker, of its ne-
cessary interference with, and violation of, the law
of nations; and by other Members, on the ground
that this being strictly an Appropriation Bill, it was
irrelevant then to enter on other matters The Bill
passed without any division. . as
