Extracts of Letters from Ancona, Sept. 15, 1823:
.4 There has arrived here a Captain Zyoeeki, from Cork,
fa six days, and I hasten to communicate the information
be brings, which is as follows, nearly verbatim as I bad it
from him at the Ileal &office:—
e I left Patras fifteen days ago. The Turkish Beet, with
troops on board, kept Illissolonglsi in a strict blockade by
sea and land ; but in order to reduce it, 20,000 Turkish
troops were expected front Prevsea, most Albanians, under
Jesuff Pacha. Some sudden commotion having arisen
strong these troops (supposed to be or. account of their not
being paid), the Pacita was obliged to make the best of his
way, accompanied only by his suite, on board the fleet.
The troops before filissolonglii were then re-embarked,
and the Beet sailed for Patras, and from thence to Constan•

unople.,
This declaration was made by Captain Zyoceki at the
Health-office, as I before stated, and as he is a Papal sub-
ject, and cannot be supposed to be interested in any manner,
lhave no hesitation in saying that his report is worthy of

credit.
" SEPT. 16.—P. S. Since writing the above, there is
another arrival iu eight days from Ithaca—the Captain of
the vessel confirms the foregoing intelligence, with this ad.
dition, that the garrison of Missolonghi made a sally on
the Turks before they embarked, when they were asleep,
and killed numbers of them; there are still twelve small
Turkish vessels crnizing at a distance from Missolonghi,
►ut the rest of the fleet have returned to Constantinople. '

AFRICAN COLONIZATION SOCIETY. •
The following letter was received by the Society from its
principal agent at the Colony. It embraces some truths
which the Society and public will lose nothing by hearing
plainly spoken.
ItIONROyIA, JUNE 18th, 1823.
DEAR SIR-1 am just able to sit up and hold my pen a
few minutes, which will he my apology for not giving you
a statement of facts. This moment the last of our Colonists
which I brought out, applied for medicine—he is taken.—
All who are living are doing well, and have been slightly
affected. It has, by no means, altered my opinion of Africa.
Every one that Caine out this time, is now down with fever.
For four days I have not been aisle to see them, but Mr.
Carey visits them, and brings me a report. Tlsis I foresaw,
and am no wise disappoimed. 1 have now about 70 oil the
sick and lame list. This I told you often enough would be
the case, and say man might have known it. I hope, if any
thing can make an impression on the minds of our Commit-
tee, this will convince them of the necessity of attending to
sober facts, to form their judgments from, and not from the
reports of interested blockheads, led away by silly visions.
—1 hope this will convince all when an expedition ought
to set out.
The old colonists are very healthy, except a few confined
by sores, which I find very troublesome.
LIST OF DEATHS OP NEW COLONISTS.
Two children ofConvulsions.
Abel Herd, foolish obstinacy.
Mrs. Stewart, confined on her passage; when unloading
their goods, worked very hard, went into the water and
died.
James Fuller, from Alexandria, killed himself with
Rum.
June 19th.—This morning I am a little better.
The late war was occasioned by, Ist. Captain Otis furnish-
, ing the natives with a supply of powder, lead, and arms ;
2d. By a mistaken policy of managing their palaver ;-6
discharges from long tom. while they were in palaver,
would have prevented all that followed; 3rd. The bushes
have not been cleared away from the settlement, which
allowed the natives the means of crawling up undiscovered,
to the stockade. and shooting our people through their own
palisade. This is the more inexcusable, as the natives
were six weeks in palaver, and it wall known they intended
to make the attack.
• I find the morals of our young. men bate suffered much in
consequence of suffering the natives to build sonic huts and
introduce their women. I have broken up the houses, for-
bade them to come, have a guard set to shoot any one
seen after dark on our side. Nothing but the most ener-
getic measures will answer. If I live, such as are necessary
:hall be applied.
I wish you to have an agent ready, in ease I should not
Eve. Whatever you do, I charge you to send a man of
business, and one who knows bow to command. or your
colony is done.
I am very much exhausted and cannot copy. or even
read, what I have written. lam your most obedient,
