TINO, JULY 20.

At the moment when some Journals make Commo-
dore Hamilton say and do so many foolish things, the
subjoined later will be doubly interesting :
" Commodore Hamilton is strictly blockading Hydra'
with two frigates, and does not suffer any mistic laden
with water or provisions to enter the island. Lately there
was one which was going to enter the port : one of the
two frigates having informed it of the blockade, it pre-
tended to change its course ; but during the bight, it
put back, and endeavoured to elude the vigilance ofl
the English. The latter then sent some armed boats
against the mistic, filed, and killed two Greeks, who
were precisely the two most insolent pirates of these
seas. These measures have been taken by the Com-
modore in consequence of the acts of piracy committed
by the Greeks, and among others one by a Hydriot
vessel on an-lonian ship. The latter came from Athens,
and had on board some English travellers, who were
shamefully robbed and plundered. This pirate, like so
many others, having very quietly anchored at Hydra,
the commander of the English squadron, justly incensed,
repaired to the spot, and demanded that the perpetrators
should be given up to him. His demands were evaded.
He insisted vehemently, but without obtaining satisfac-
tion. Then, in order at the same time to give a lesson
to the Hydriots, and to obtain justice, he resolved to
blockade their island."
EXTRACT OF A LETTER TROIS SAWTORINO, AUGUST 1.

In my leisure moments I read, not for my instruc-
tion, GOD forbid, but for my diversion, certain Euro-
pean Journals, in which I am never weary of admiring
more and more the progress of the art of lying, in
which they so wonderfully excel. You knoiv, Sir,
better than I can tell you, that if we could have the
most erroneous ideas of the state of Greece, we have
but to read the Greek Journals. When the phrase
does not contain a falsehood, which is very rare, it
contains at least an exaggeration, which is equivalent.
(Witness, among others, the memorable combat of the
Mills, pompously described by the Friend of the Laws,
a battle in which only one man was killed, and which
passed under the eyes of 260 Frenchmen, and of Rear-
Admiral Rigny, to whose testimony the narrator does
not blush to appeal.) Well such as they are, these
Greek gazettes are very far from being equal in the
art of lying to certain European journals, to that the
Austrian Okseroer itself, in order to refute'tliese jour-
nals, at least in part, is reduced to the sad necessity of
inserting in its columns the translation of the Greek
Gazettes, because something at least is gained by it."

SMYRNA, AUGUST 17.

We have the following account from Samos, dated
9th August :—Marce Raincorvich, Captain of an Aus-
trian vessel from Trieste, has just taken refuge in our
port. He was met on his way by two Ipsariot mistics,
which plundered him of merchandize to the amount of
300,000 piastres.
It seems, from the disclosures made by a Greek, that
an Austrian vessel has been detained and plundered in
the gulf of Salonichi, and that the whole crew has been
cruelly massacred. All the seas are covered with
Greek pirates. The crews of the European vessels are
very lucky, when they are not grossly ill-treated, like
those of two French vessels who were plundered, and
which I myself saw enter Alexandria on the 15th June.

By the Hiram, arrived off Torbay, from Rio de Ja-
neiro, letters of the sth of August have been received
from that place. No reference is made to Sir CHARLES
STUART'S mission, except to state that he was supposed
to have encountered greater difficulties than he ex-
pected in the discussions on the Treaty, but that it was
given out that some document would be made public
in a few days, to satisfy the general anxiety on the sub•
ject. This proves that our doubts as to the speedy
termination of the negotiation with the Brazilian Go-
vernment sere well-founded.

Tne French Papers of Wednesday have reached us.
They contain an order from the Russian Minister at
War. en joining all the Generals, and other Officers of
the Southern Army, to join their respective corps, at the
head quarters at Tulezyn, by the 20th of September.
The EMPEROR will review them, as well as the army of
General SABANIEFF, on the frontiers of Moldavia, early
in October. Some persons assign a political motive
for this order; but when the Kings of Prussia and
Sweden review their armies, and France sends out her
fleets to perform evolutions, we see no cause to suspect
the pacific views of Russia. merely because the EM-
PEROR inspects a portion of his army, which he has not
seen for two or three years at least. The following is
the notice of this order in the French Papers:

HA Id BURG H, SEPTEMBER ,22.
PRIVATE LETTER.

An order issued by the Minister of War at St. Peters-
burgh, which has been received as Tulezyn, the head-
quarters of the Southern Army, enjoins all the Generals,
and superior and subaltern Officers who had obtained
leave of absence, to join their respective corps, so that
the army may be entirely complete by the 20th Sept.

Notice has also been given that the Emperor Alexand
will be at Tulezyn in the beginning of October to re-
view the troops. Iri consequence, the several divisions
have been put in motion to take up more concentrated
positions. These movements have not tAiled to give
ri-e, in Volhynia, to reports more or less exagge►ated.
Some persons consider the assembling of the army to
have only one object, {hat of executing evolutions on an
extensive scale; while others think it is the prelude to
some important operation.
When the Emperor leaves the Southern army he will
go to Kischenew, in Bessarabia, to inspect the army of
General SetbaniefF, which is encamped on the frontier
joining the Moldavian territory. This corps is partly
composed of light troops, among which are numerous
Polks of Cossacks.
