BAYONNE, A VOMIT 23.—We have not-yet received the
linters front Madrid by the mail, but only-those that are
broaght by the army courier, which are always a little in
arrear, a, that the news we have this way is no later than
the Ml'. Madrid was tranquil; only from time 10 time,
end particularly io the night, there was some alarm caused
by the noise made by the mob, who attack the houses of
the Constitorionalists who are in prison:"-The Regency
-finding it absoloteVnecessary to give orders for the re•
lease of persons confined for political tenses by virtue of
the decree of the l)uke of Angouleme, has exhumed and
revived the old decree of the King of the Ist June, 1814,
which ii has sent to all the tribunals of the Kingdom,
with directions to see it carried into execution, which in
th- end is just the same as to its effects, as if it had merely
published the Duke's decree, only that this opposition in
the Regency to the wishes of the Duke. cannot have any
good consequences, unless an arrangement takes place
soon, respecting which, however, the official journals
and reports preserve an obstinate silence. Meantime it
is reported, that the army of General Hourdesoulle begins
to feel the effects of the climate, and the beat of the sea-
son, and that the number of sick in the Hospital is very
great.
A courier, from Port St. Mary's brings word that the
Royal Family at Cadiz still enjoy good health : he has
not iwought a confirmation of the submission of General
&yes. The army of Ballasteros remains in the same psi,
tion as it was at the time when the conveution was signed
with General Molitor.
It is said, at Madrid, that M. Onvrard is on his way to
that Calked. lien. Qoesada, it seems, has repeatedly ap-
tlied for pe,mission to enter Madrid with his troops, but
the Hoke of Reggio opposes it, because he is apprehensive
that the presence of the soldiers of the Failli in the capital
wculd only cause fresh disorders. The ltegency continues
to exert iteely without success, to collect Volunteers; there
is still gicater want of enthusiasm,. than of arms; it has
been proposed to leave to the Commuees the care and the
eXpense of the levy: this would be a sure way not to suc-
ceed. There are various accounts here of a tumult at Hil.
ban, in which it is reported several French were kille I by
the troops of the Faith.. It seems that the want of Frenro
troops is moth fel', and ghat in consequence of orders of
the Prince, troops are ilistrihutinz in Ole principal cities of
A rragon and Navarre. Afore this it should seem difficult
to ramtnence the siege of Pampelona ; but it is, however,
atsrmed that the first cannon will be fired on the 25th,
cuidst cries of t' Vive le Itoi !" th,.t day h-ing his Majes-
t?'s fete. We have nothing new from St. Sebastian or San-
ton*. Letters from the South of France say that they are
oat the alert all along the frontier in consequence of the
movements of the Spanish Constitutional troops, it being
pomade that they may approach the fronier, as they have
done before. All that are capable of bearing arms are ready
at the shyrteat notice.

AFFAIRS OF GREECE.
(FROM THE CONSTITUTION :MO
ZANTS, July 16.—The Totkisli army collected in Mes-
sily, amounted from 25 to 30.000 men, and was formed
into two col:tinny, destined to act separately.. One of them,
corionanded by Melimed ['ache, took the direction of Thor-
toopylie, while the other marched, nnder the orders of
Moustapha Pacba, by the bridge of Allamatie towards the
pass of Neopatra or Patradjie. The Greeks, who occupied
this latter point, were not numerous, and the second co-
lumn, consisting of 16.0041 men, traversed this pass at the
beginning of June without meming pith any resistance,
and encamped in the neighbourhood of Nevropolis, in
Liyadia.
The Greek troops collected in .that province heing too
few to attack the enemy will. success, contented themselves
with occupying the passes the enemy was obliged to go
through. 31onstaplia Perba, infornnol of this, detached a
body of light troops across the almost inaccessible took
paths of Maul Parnassus, to occupy the principal point,
cad facilitate the march of the rest of his army. This body
being guided by some Mitssulmen who had (,rmerly inha-
bitod the country, succeeded in reaching Rachova, where
the few huh .bitauts who were unable to save themselves
were put to death. From thence it proceeded to
Distomon and some ether villages, all of which were
burned. On June Ili. this body took the route to the town
of Chrysos, but a small detachment of Greeks who oc-
eupjed the passes leading to this town, opposed it during
nine hours.
In the mean time the Greek Commander, Calzodinos, who
had left Saline, arrived with some reinforcements, and corn
pletely routed the Turks, whom he pursued to Distomon.
The Chiliarch, Gowns, ;:rrived on the following day from
Athens with some reinforcements. The Greeks -Tito again
attacked the enemy, and caused a terrible carnage, pursuing
him to Nevropolis, where the Turks took refuge to their

camp.
The other column which bad marched towards' Thermo.
gybe under Mehemed Packs, was attacked there by Odys-
seus, defeated, and forced to retreat into the plains of Thes-
saly. Mou.tapht Perim, who commanded the troops'
encamped at Nevropolig. afterwards put himself in motion
towards Saint Luc, situated between Thebes and the town
of Livadia. A report having been spread among the Turks,
that the inhabitants of Livadia bad hidden all their wealthl
in the fortified monastery of the same name, they felt their
cupidity very much excited. Moustapha Paella, in fact,
arrived there at the end of June, brit a feeble garrison, aided
by the Monks, rendered useless all the efforts of the Turk.,
who then contented themselves with investing the mo•
mastery.
The Greeks. however, collected ell their forces with great
celerity. By June 31st the President Manromichale, accom-
panied by Maurocordatos, had passed the Isthmus of Corinth
with all the disposable troops of the Peloponnesus, and had
taken up a position at Milers. Four days afterwards Odys-
seus, having defeated the enemy at Therraopyhe, rejoiced
.Colocotroni and Nicetas, who directed their march with
• the troops of the Pelopounesus towards the plains of Saint
• Lee.
At their arrival the Greeks, less numerous than their oppo-
mohts.encemped on the surrounding hrigbts,and the two armies
'emitted for five days within sight of each other. The Greeks,
daring this time. contented themselves by harassing the Turks
by sham attacks. On the sixth day they divided their Cm*
into three Columns, commanded by Odysseus, Nicest, and.,
Colocotroni, the latter being in the centre and Commander-in.
Chief. The first shock was very violent, sad the carnage very
great on both sides. but after two hours' fighting the Turks
were repulsed and sought their safety id flight, leaving behind-
them 2,000 killed and 800 prisoners ; their wounded amounted
to 3,000. The whole of their artillery and ammunition, their
pravialons,i mamba of camels and horses, remained in the
