AUGSBUROII. AUGUST
It appears, according to news fro. m Constantinople of
ihe 16th of July, receivdd at Odessa by an eztraordi-
nary conveyance, that a iMasche had brought the Sul-
tan the news of the capture of Ipsara by the Capitan
Pasha. DischArges of artillery immediately announced
this event to the Mussulmans. On the morning of the
‘6th no particulars were yet known; nevertheless, an
idea can be formed of what should have passed at Ip-
sara, since, four weeks before, it bad been determined to
exterminate the male population, and divide the women
among the Asiatics. This determination and the con-
quest of the island were spoken of at Constantinople as
matters of course.

Newi from Alexandria, of the ISth July, announces
that an English vessel has brought a prohibition to
English subjects to transport, on account of the Turks,
arms, ammunition, or troops, to any of the insurgent
provinces. In consequence of this, three vessels of that
nation, which were freighted for the service of the Vic-
eroy, sere immediately discharged. The other Frank
Captains will follow this example, which leads to the
supposition that they have a knowledge of the proclama-
tion of the Greek Government...--Gazette d'Augsburgh.
The nine first numbers of the Greek Telegraph, a
journal printed at llissolonghi, in Italian, contains borne
curious facts upon the state of the country. The Greeks
perceive betimes that good education alone can assure
them the maintenance of liberty ; and they hasten, before
everything, to form' schools. Lord Guildford, in the
lonian Islands, advances foremost with them, and seems
to be anziousto give an example of all the good that
can be done. It is well knovan what has been done for
she University of Corfu. At.Argostoli, in the island of
Cefalonia, a school is about to be formed, under the
direction of able professors.
The discourses delivered by the Professors at the
opening of this Institute discover the most elevated sen-
timents and the most enlightened zeal.
One of the Numbers contains the following letter from
General Odysseus to the venerable Coray
io Respectable Patriot, thou bast passed the greatest
part of thy life in exile far from thy county, because
thou couldst not bear to see it beneath the barbarous
yoke of the Turks. Thou bast transported thyself to
civilized people, not to lead an easy life, but to learn to
repress thy passions and to gather, like a bee, lessons
most necessary for the regeneration of unfortunate
Greece. Thy labours have not been useless ; from the
moment thou beganst to recommend, in our language.
the bmefits which industry affords the world ; from
that iio,tant thy co-patriots began to raise their souls
to the sublimest doctrines, and to know their political
situatioa. It is only a few years since the liberal senti-
ments of the Greeks began to awaken; and the prefaces
to thy editions of our classics, as well as thy learned cons-
me staries, have filled the soul: .he Greeks with the
se.sis of themagnanimity and virtues of their ancestors.
—All the literary men of our country have, at thy
example, hastened to propagate the same truths; and
the efforts which the Greeks now snake to obtain their
independence and their liberty, ate the fruits of their
philosophical and patriotic works. But we have two
grand obstacle, to overcome,-.—barbarism on the one
hand, and, on the other, the vices which our long sla-
very has bequeathed us. Civilization is yet with us a
fragile and delicate plans, and the Revolution itself has
raised with it two very pernicious sentiments—the love
of power and 9f riches. These two fatal sentiments ar-
rested the first progress of the nation, and in the two
first assemblies, at Epidaurus and at Astros, they have
repressed and frequently neutralized the efforts of the
most loyal patriots. Such disorders should not excite
our surprise; but to remedy them fur the future, a greater
part of our most enlightened co-patriots are of opinion,
that it is expedient to take the advice of such of our coun-
trymen as are most experienced and best acquainted with
human affairs,in order to proceed under such guidance, in
~, firmest manner, in the course of our difficult career.
Out the counsels at present necessary for Greece are
quite different from those laid down in books of anti-
quity. Placed between the necessity of perishing or of
establishing firmly our independence, and our liberty,
the counsels we ought to receive should be subservient
to circumstances, and our advisers should be aware of
the political virtues necessary to them, in order that their
advice might have a succes Ifni issue. It is one thing
to see, and another thing to understand, and the ear is
still more correct than the eye. It is necessary that our
advisers should see with their own eyes, and then they
will be able without fear of error to guide the nation in
an advantageous course. Thy counsels are dear to
me as well as to many others, who call for your
presence in this country as a thing of necessity. After
your having for so many years applied yourself to the
instruction of your fellow-countrymen, though at a dis-
- tance from you, is it not right that you should now come
in person to assist in claiming the independence of Greece?
Whilst at a distance from us, you have composed the
most sublime works, and whilst future generations shall
pay suitable honours to your illustrious labours, what
fruit will you have reaped from them? or what solid
glory will you have derived, should Greece fall again
under the yoke of barbarians? Greece has need of you
and of your illustrious offspring; bring with you, then,
all those whom you can bring, and hasten to cs-operate
with your brethren in the most just and the most legiti-
mate of all enterprizes. We light for the religion of
the Greeks and for the rights of man. Many friends,
sincerely interested in our happiness, have already come,
and are continuing to come to our aid. We hope that
you will bring with you all those friends of the rights of
nations who feel themselves excited to toil in the ame-

lioration of our holy country, which has for so many
years and ages groaned under the most barbarous of all
yokes, and which las almost become the victim of its
saffetings.—Thy Son,
Astro& ULYSSES (ODYSSEUS) ANDELIZZO.

RECOGNIZING AN OLD ACQUAINTANCE. - A New
York paper says—Two pedeArian travellers having
vet', harmoniously passed through Pennsylvania, ar-
rived together at Philadelphia, and while sitting at a
tavern drinking, one of them suddenly darted his hand
into the breeches pocket of the other, snatched his watch
and money, and ran off. The fleeced traveller, unable
to overtake his roguish conipanion, left Philadelphia for
New York; and enjoying the 4th of July in a manner
rather riowns he was-taken up and put into Bridewell,,
when lo and behold, among a hundred fellow-prisoners,
he ecognised the thief, bis companion through Pennql-
vania, who had also been imprisoned for similar dithr-
dell. He gave the alarm, and upon searching, his.wateh
was found-. and thus by being imprisoned If, he
recovered the most valuable part of his stolen property.
