CONSTANTINOPLE, Aua. 25.

The Captain Pacha seems to have given up, for the
presetar, the expedition against Samos; which would
probably have submitted, if he bad been more speedy
in his operations, and not waited till Sachturi arrived
with part of the Greek Beet.), After the Captain Pacha
bad baffled two attempts of the Greek fire-ships, on the
SI st of July and Sd of August, and sunk two of the
fire.sbips with the guns of bis own Admiral's ships he

'landed part of the troops that he had of 1-oard. in • the
harbout of Bajadschick (in the Gulf of Scala Nuovi);
sailed on the Bth through the Channel of Scio, and an-
chored the same evening off Mitylene, whither be was fob -
lowed on the 9th by the whole fleet. Thence he sent four
btigs to Bootle, to land some more of his troops, with
whote the sea does not agree, and ordered them to join
the other troops et Sajadschick. He himself was still
at Mitylene on the 15th) waiting, it is said, for an an.
swer to despatches which he had sent by two Tartars to
Constantinople. _ _

We are without news from the Morea and the Archi-
pelago, on account of the north winds. Letters from
Smyrna of the 18th inst. say, that Marquis Paulucci,
Commander in Chief of the Imperial squadron, who left
Napoli at *the ead of last month, was every hour ex-
pected at Smyrna. Before he left Tino on the 23d July,
he intimated to the Primates of the Nand that he should
make them answerable for all acts of violence and spoli-
ation hitherto so frequently practised on the persons or
property of the Catholics settled there, and that on his
return to those seas he should require ample satisfaction
for every excess of this kind.

The following was posted up at the North and South
American Coffte-Howe this morning:

JAMAICA, JULY Si.

a The Spanish felucca, San Joseph, out four days
from St. Jago de Cuba, arrived this morning, with a
letter from the Governor of St. Jago to the Duke of
MANCHESTER, but nothing has as yet transpired of the
nature of the despatches. The DARTMOUTH frigate,
Captain DUNDAS, has just come to an anchor at Port
Royal, from the Havannah. The HUSSAR frigate will
sail from this, in a few days, for England."

The state of the present supply of oats in Mark lane,
for sale, fully Wustrates the wisdom of the measures adopted by his
Moaner in Council, the result of which was the Order in Council,
published in the Gazette of the Ist of this month, for permitting the
importation, for home use, of certain descriptions of foreign spring
grain. The weekly consumption of oats in London is somewhere
about 25,000 quarters, and during last week tke arrivals of this ar-
tick from Scotland and England amounted to only one thousand
three hundred and ninety-three quarters. From Ireland not a
bushel arrived during the same period ; and it is easy to guess at
what rate prices, under such circumstances, would have been, had
his Mussev's Ministers not foreseen the deficiency, and provided
for the wants of his people, by granting permission for the home
consumption of foreign grown oats. There cannot exist a greater
delusion than that now entertained by the English Agricultural In-
terest, respecting the repeal of the Corn Laws, but experience will
gradully tend the Land Proprietors into more correct notions of
national polity, and shew that by exchanging British manufactures
and Colonial produce for Continental grower's corn, the value of
their property will be increased, inasmuch as the industry of the
people will be paid by adequate wages,,and the Poor-rates will be
relieved from the burthen of maintaining many able-bodied men,
willing to work, but who are kept idle, in deference to the present
system of Corn Laws.

THE KING.

WINDSOR. Sirrncus 26.

Tbis afternoon his Maarsry was enabled to resume his customary
drive in the Great Park, from three o'clock until half-past five. His
filwaxsyr left the Royal Lodge in his pony phaeton accompanied by
the Loan STEWARD, and drove himself, taking the higher grounds
to Cranbourn Lodge, afterwards visiting the New Lodge, in the
Forest, and returned through Sandpit-gate.

Last evening his Miaow agaitientertained his illustrious visi-
tors Prince Prince and Princess LIMN, the Dukes
of visi-
tors,
and Donn., and the Royal Suite, at dinner. The
banquet was on the same splendid scale as that of the preceding

BRIGHTON, &PT. 26.

This place is crowded to an over flow. Yesterday the Stelae and
Marine Parade presented an appearance of fashion and splendour,
perhaps never before witnessed at Brighton. The string of equi-
pages reached in a double line froth the Steine to Kemptown.
Colonel Trench, M.P. is one of the latest arrivals. Yesterday
morning, about six o'clock, we were visited by a thunder storm,
followed by a violent shower of rain; about ten the weather cleared
up ; the remainder of the day was delightfully fine.
