VIENNA, Sm. 17.

The Austrian Observer contains to-day only extracts
from the Oriental Spectator of the beginning of August.
The number of the 18th says that the brig Palitmus
and the Hellas frigate, commanded by Lord Cochrane,
were on the 6th off Cape Matapan. The Hellas had in
tow a Turkish corvette of 28 guns.
The Captain of the French brig learnt that Lord
Cochrane had captured this corvette, as well as a
Tut kish schooner, on the Ist of August, just as the two
vessels were sailing together out of the port of Navarin.
The combat lasted but a moment, and the Turks had
already 35 killed. They were going to convey to Patras
400 Egyptian troops and some ammunition.

The Bishop of Vich has just 'lighten a letter to the
King, explaining the reasons that induced him to pre-
side in one of the Juntas of Catalonia, thinking, he says,
to be able, by so doing, to save that province from
greater misfortunes.
The Captain-General Campo Sagrado, justly sirs-
pectin g General Romagnosa, an old partisan dui itig the
war of independence, and lately Governor of Mataro,
of having an understanding with the rebels, had him
watched, and even intended to arrest him ; but Romag-
n sa hearing of it, lett Mataro without leave, and having
reached Madrid, proceeded directly to the Royal resi•
dew, when the King gave him a long audience, and a
safe conduct to return to Catalonia, where he promised
to use all his influence with the rebels, his countrymen,
to induce them to:return to their homes. M. Romag-
nosa has returned to Madrid, where he has had an
audience of the Minister of War, and is immediately to
return to Catalonia. _ _

Leon, formerly Chief of Guerillas, has just been ar-

who were in the prison. If this measure had been de.

band is now prowling in the environs of Teruel.
