'APERS.

FROM THE ETOILE OF WEDNESDAY.
The following is the news from the Army of Georgia,
of the 7th September : a Major-General Prince Madatoff
attacked, on the 2d September, the Persians, who had
taken up their position on the right bank of the river
Chamora. .The enemy had 2.000 regular infantry, four
pieces of cannon, and near 8 000 cavalry, under the
command of Meh met Mirza, the soft of Abbas Mirza,
by Serdar Aran Khan, and several other Persian chiefs
of distinction. The troops having been drawn up,
four pieces of Persian artillery commenced a brisk fire,
accompanied with musketry. The cannon was, how-
ever, soon dismounted by our artillery. Great effect was
produced on the cavalry also; mid it soon followed
the example of &lima, in saving itself by flight. The
infantry thus remained without support, and our cavalry
cut off their retreat. Confusion immediately ensued, and
their flight continued for more than ten versts. The
enemy lost ten Khans, and more than 1;000 Men re-
mained in the field of battle. We have taken one can-
non, some military chests, and eleven falconets. After
this success. Prince Madatoff proceeded to Elizabeth-
pol, and seized it without resistance. Fifteen hundred
men had evacuated the citadel without awaiting the
arrival of our troops. Our cavalry, who carried on the
pursuit for more than 20 versts, could not meet a sin-
gle Persian. At the gates of the city we have forced
the enemy's camp, which was well supplied with pro-
visions, and in the citadel there was plenty of powder
and ball. As it has been anticipated that the revoked
provinces would readily return to their obediencle, Ge-
neral Pashevitch is ordered to hasten his junction with
Prince Madatoff, and to march towards Karalab. The
force of Mirza amouat to between thirty and forty
thousand men.

TO THE GOVERNORS OF THE LONDON
OPTHALMIC INFIRMARY.
HAVING been informed that a misconception has
arisen in the minds of some Governors of the London Oph-
thalmic Infirmary, in consequence of the Advertisement in the
Newspapers of Testimonials bearing our Signatures in favour of
Mr. Jolla Scorr, one of the Candidates for the othce of Surgeon m
the above Institution, we think it right to state, that such Testi-
monials were given at a former period, and for a different object,
and that Mr. MACK MU RDO has our undivided interest on the
present occasion. ASTLEY COOPER,

Letters from the frontiers of Spain state, that the
Council of State has laid before his MAJESTY, that it is
absolutely necessary, in the present state of affairs, to
have a watchful eye over the enemies of the Throne, in
the interior ; and have accordingly proposed to put
under arms all the provincial militia ; also to execute,
with vigour, the decree against Freemasons and Secret
Societies ; lastly, to re.establish the Inquisition. The
vigorous measures having been made known to the
English Ambassador, he immediately repaired to the
Royal Palace, to endeavour to prevent them being put
into force.

The Austrian Observer of the Bth, received this morn-
ing, has the following details:
VIENNA, OCTOBER 7.-NEWS FROM GREECE.

- .
Our readers know that the third National Assembly,
which was opened, in the spring at Peada, near Epi-
daurus, suspended its sittings immediately after the fall
of Missolonghi, and appointed provisionally ■n Exe-
cutive Deputation, or Commission of Government of
eleven members, and a Committee of thirteen tnem-
bets*. By a Notice of this Committee of 14th August,

• Some changes having been caused by deaths and other circum-
stances, we subjoin the names of the members as they stood by the
Napoli GoLaic in the middle of August ;
1. Commission o► Govtanuelir— A. Zaieni, President ; P. Mau-
romichali A. Delijanni ; G. Simihi: 1). Tanta& ; A. Ch. Anar-
giru ; A. llonarchadi; K. Zoto; Joh. Vlacho; Panajoti D. Demi-
gaakopubo ; G. Glataki, Secretary General.
2. COMMITTER OW TIIE GLNEKAL AssrmaLv—Panuzzo Notara,
President; Pnrphyrius, Bishop of Arta, Vice President ; Basilius
N. Buduri ; Anastatius Sondo ; Spyr Kalogeropolo ; G. Aentan ; G.
Bukuri ; Anagnosti Kopanizza; Em. Kenn; Christie' Vlata;
Ranieri; G. Durioti ; Ch. Klonari, Secretary General.

' published in the Napoli Gazette, of 18th August, this
National Assembly is convoked to meet on the l st (15tb)
September, in the little island of Poros (north of Hydra,
in the Gulf of Athens), to conclude its labours.
The next number of the Napoli Gazette (the Universal
Gazette of Greece), of 19th' August, contains a Procla-
mation from the Commission of Government, dated 15th
August, to all the Peloponnesians, announcing the send-
ing of A ndreus Zaimi, the President; P. Mauromichali,
and Agnosti Delijanni, both members of the Commis-
bion, to put an end to some disturbances that have
broken out in some parts of the Meru, to which an ex-
hortation is added, to unite with the brave Suliots and
Epirots. The following article, from the Gazette of the
25d, explains the nature of these disturbances:
These disturbances prevail, properly speaking, in the
Eparchy of Corinth. General John Notara, and the
Vice-General Panajoti Notara, both of them young,
high•minded, violent, and inexperienced in business, are
the authors of these new civil troubles. These good
patriots know neither true love of honour nor true glory ;
cared little for the general interest of the country, but,
actuated by petty jealousy, had disputed for the prece-
dence in the province of Corinth, of which they are both
natives. To the causes of this quarrel were added some
trifling private interests and objects, and furious passions
were excited by wretched natives. The evil glimmered
under the ashes, and needed but a trifling cause to break
out, and this was unhappily found, because it was sought;
yet it might have been checked, had not other persons,
equally aiming at private objects, been implicated in the
dispute between the two. The General is described as ra-
pacious, unjust, and violent, and the Vice-Gen. represents
himself as the defender and protector of the citizens. These
two having, from personal motives, etched dissensions
among the inhabitants, the whole province of Corinth
is divided into two factions, of which that of the Vice-
General is the strongest. The two leaders have now re-
solved to decide by arms these miserable disputes, which
reasonable men would have disregarded for fear of the
evils that might possibly result to their countrymen in
general. Not satisfied with their adherents in the pro-
vince of Corinth, they sought allies at a distance, and
each party succeeded in finding them. They even de-
luded some Greeks of the Continent, by the temptation
of money, to join them ; thus depriving the country of
its defenders. The Government did its utmost to pre-
vent these civil dissensions; but the heroes of the drama,
depending on their adherents, and encouraged by
others, behaved with a very blameable disobedience.
—So long as the dispute was confined to words, the
Government did not interfere ; bat when they proceed
to deeds, disturbing the tranquillity of a whole province,
and threatening the entire Morea, it could not remain
indifferent, and, therefore, resolved to take decisive mea-
sures to quell the disturbances, and to send to the spot
some prudent men, possessed of influence over both
parties ; viz. A. Zaimi, the President, P. Mauromichali,
and A. Delijanni, to whom the Committee of the Na-,
tional Assembly added its Vice.Prebident, Purpbyrius,
Bishop of Arta. The prudence and influence of these
deputies will put an end to the troubles, and prevent
their possible ill consequences. The General-in-Chief,
Th. Colocotroni, as soon as he was informed of these
disturbances, hastened to Corinth to reconcile-the dis-
putants, and will contribute to terminate the disorders.
Hitherto the evil is of small account; GOD grant that
it may not become greater.
" After putting an end to the troubles in Corinth, the Deputies,
with Colocotroni, and all the troops there and those they took from
Napoli, will proceed against the enemy (Ibrahim), who, is conse-
quence of these troubles, has done so little mischief in all the Mores."

Vrench Papers to the 18th instant, contain some
intelligence from Greece, but nothing connected with the move-
menu of her Navy, or the operations of Lord COCHIUMZ, who will
probably not venture on anything of importance till he has been
joined by a force capable of insuring the success of the undertaking.
One failure at the beginning of his career would destroy, and pro•
Willy for ever, that immense power of opinion which now acts so
strongly in his favour. Ingead of being any longer regarded by
the Greeks as their predestined deliverer, and by the Turks as the
fated annihilator of their empire, be would sink at, once into a very
ordinary being, deserted by the one and derided by the other.

The Dutch Mail which arrived last night, contains
extracts from the Animal of &. Petersburgh of the id. Among the
individuals honoured by the notice of the Estrasoa at his Corona-
tion, was our countryman, Sir James WTLIZ, to whom his Maillirf
has presented a valuable snuff-box, accompanied by a rescript, ex-
pressing his acknowledgments for Sir Jamas's services, as chief of
the Medical Staff. When the news of the Coronation reached Risa,
the utmost joy was expressed by the aothoriti s and inhabitants.—
Among other marks of rejoicing, red and white wine flowed to every
one who chose to drink, from a public fountain, erected in the shape
of an Imperial Eagle, in the market-place. A splendid ball and il-
luminations, in the evening, closed the festivities. These Papers
contain no political news.

A Meeting of the Mayor, Aldermen, and Liverymen
of the several Corporations of the City of London, was held yeter.
day at Guildhall; when it was resolved to petition Parliament for
the repeal of the Corn Laws, and a general retrenchment in the
expenditure of the country.—The Resolutions, and the discussion
that took place in the Common Hall, are inserted in our preceding
columns.

Captain EDWA RD GORDON, eif the Royal Navy, whose
death was reported in several Newspapers, has arrived, convales.
cent, in the Natal) frigate, from Gibraltar. His surviving the
wounds which be received in the attack en the Greek pirates, on the
coast of Candia, appear. miraculous, as two balls passed through,
and a third lodged in his body ; while a fourth grazed the top of his
head. The whole crew of the leading boat, which he commanded,
!were either killed or wounded.--sibertlecat Chronicle.
