formidable attack on Missolonghi, Is :sera PAcli4
sent a last summons, promising to grant the garrison a
free retreat; bat this summons was treated with the
same contempt as all its predecessors. Aware of the
magnitude of the danger by which they were threatened,
and that they had no ally on earth, the iohasiitates and
defenders of the undaunted city applied to their CstaA.

all their temples, and prepared to meet the coming
storm with a degree of superhuman euthusla m. On
the 2d of March it burst upon .them in all its fury
machines, cannons, bombs, all the assistance renegades
could supply were employed at once to crush a !undid
of Christi ins fighting on the threshold of their homes
and at the foot of their altars,—but were employed id
vain: The fleet by sea, the army by land, and European
officers in both, combined their efforts to annihilate if
they could not subdue, but on every side PUOVIDENCE
guarded the Faithful whom earth deserted. Every
assault was repelled, and alter losing between four and
five thousand men in killed and wounded, the rest of the
half-disciplined Egyptian troops disbanded themselves,
and latrantm PACIIA returned to Patras: but not be-
fore he had caused the heads of some of his principal
officers to be cot off, a chastisement which it is to be
hoped fell on same of the Benegadoes by whom he was
led. He also sent his K*ga Bey into Albania to enlist
new troops, a fact which bears testimony to ate-event
of the loss which he must have experience-I. The
Greeks, adds the i2oile, " are beside themselves with
joy. Another event has a little contributed to increase
their hopes. Some English vessels, coming from Alex-
andria with cargoes belonging to the Viceroy, and
bound to the Morea, were stopped and visited by the
Greeks, who considered them as private property, and
confiscated them. The Captains came to complain,
and to ask justice of the Government of the lonian Islands; but
they received for answer, that they were indebted for their mis-
fortunes to their own fault."

A private Letter from Colombo, in the i,land of

- ,
" The'day before yesterday an official communication was said to

English are to have possession of Rangoon, Pegue, Manahan,
A , and of course the island of Ckedutia : so report says. The
Government Gaulle contains nothing mote than that peace is esta-
blished at the Burman country."

The American Papers contain' a financial document
of some consequence. The Secretary of the Treasury
bad presented a Report, which, as matter of course, w as
referred to the Committee of Ways and Means. The
estimate of the Secretary chews a balance of the debt et
the year 1826, of nine millions of dollars ; and in the debt
of the year 1827, of six millions, making together fifteen
millions; whereas the Conunittee make a balance of
only 8,351,803. This difference arises from the Com-
mittee's having added to the annual appropriation of
the Sinking Fund. the surplus, estimated by the Secre-
tary to be an the Treasury at the end pf each year, viz :
—At the end of 1826, 2,915;4'69 dollars, and at theend
of 1827, 4,915,269. They contend that this application
is authorised by the law of 1817.
Makes from Mexico, to the 2d of February, were
received on Saturday. They ►tate, that contrary to
the general expectation. much opposition had been
made by the Government to the alterations proposed
by Mr. CANNING in the Mexican treaty, which was
carried back by Mr. Monte& This opposition has
assumed so decided a character, that Mr. WA an made
preparations for returning to England, and even sent off
a portion of his baggage to the coast, to be placed on
board his Majesty►s ship VIGILANT. In this state of
thing., however, a wish was expressed by the Govern-
ment to enter again into a negotiation, the result if
which had not transpired, when the present advices left
Mexico. It was generally supposed'that if Mr. Monier'
remains firm, he will in the end carry his point. The
subject in dispute is believed in Mexico to be the right
of search, and the determining what shall or shall not
constitute a Mexican vessel. It is farther said, that the
right of search had been given up on making the first
treaty, but that Mr. CANNING would not ra4ily it with
that article as a part of it. The American Minister in
Mexico was believed to be using great exertions to in-
duce the Mexican Government to remain firm on the
point at issue, great jealousy being entertained by the
Americans at the superior influence of the English. A
,report of the Mexican finances has been published by
Erravnelhe Minister at Finance, in which he calculates
that at the end of the year 1826, there will be a surplus
of 992,500 dollars of receipt over expenditure. '1 he
accounts received from the mining districts are said in
these letters to be favourable.
