TO THE EDITORS.

Si. Angustene.Juiy 11, 1821.—Wednestiny morning.

The long looked for exchange of flags has at length I
been made here. I will endeavour to redeem my pro-
miss in giving yes a hasty sketch of the ceremony, ice.
The preparations on the part of the Spanish *litho-
, rides having been matured, it was determined that
'transfer-of tbis province should be made en Tuesday
the 10th instant. It was accordingly announced aeil
the inhabitant, in a pruilativirlion issued by the go- ,
ver.noc. The transport ship was anchored at see, 3.
miles from the bar. In order to avoid any difficulty
that might possibly ensue from Winging the American
and Spanish troops in totalize, it was previously sr-
rouged that, the movement of the one from the ship
sod that of the other from the harbour, should be
mukaneoes. The Spanish troops, with the exception
of a detachment of 40 men, who remained in charge of
the fort, were embarked on hoard email transports, e*
the 9th, and the same evening dropped down to
the bar. On the morning of the 10th, at sun-
rise, the Spanish flag was hoisted at Fort Saint
Mark, (the name of the fintress at this plate,)
under a Royal salute of twenty-one guns. 'Awing
thet_forenoon, the American troops under the imme-
diate order of Captain Bell, were transferred from the
ship to the United States schooner. Tartar, sad about
thee. o'clock crossed the bar and proceeded to town,
passing the Spaniards on the *ay out. Oar troops
landed on a green adiaemst. to the town. On
their approaching the shoes our ensign was heisted is
the fort under charge of aft American officer, on the
sane standard with a Spanish colour and a salute of
21 guns fired; 'after I atosneat'spreparatioe, the Anw-
ricaa-troops were marched to the felt, and formed in
Sisson the gise* at the ti*trance of the gatewey. In
the woodier. the • tiovgisite assembled the imberdi-
nate authorities at the goierantent house, sad; the
presence of an assemblage of spectators, Estado a for-
mal surrendec ef the sovereignty of the province to the

p

American Commissioner ; a royal salute was then fired
by the Spanish detachment in the fort, and the Sp:.
nish detachment marched oat, passing in front of the
American troops and interchanging the usual salutes.
The fort was then occupied by our troops, and a as.
tional salute fired in honour of nnr newly acquired ee..
sereignty. At six o'clock the Spanish detachmen
Ind been embarked, and we found ourselves in quiet
possession, without the occurrence of any incident to
disturb the most perfect good will.
Much respect is due to the Spanish anthorities, for
the spirit of harmony and conciliation winch they have
exhibited on the occasion.

The fleet, consisting of one ship, six schooners, and
three sloops, will rendezvous off the bar to-day, and,
after distributing provisions and water, and arranging
the necessary signals, will sail for Havannah, ander
convoy of the United States schooner Porpoise. hey
will not probably be able to depart before the 13th
hist:mt.

AFFAIRS OF TURKEY.

The following is represented to have been the posr
don of Turkey with respect to Greece, the 20th Jody.
The Turks occupied all the fortresses in Epirifs,./11.,
1. Prevesa, commanded by the C.ipt. Bey, orYitelld-
;i:
miral Turk. His force consisted of 84000 mew ifs lc
risen, i brigs of war, 12 sloops of war, and anu of
armed embarkation boats. The French Coned- rel
sides here, and is very useful to the Christians:
2. Parga, with a garrison of 2,000 men. • ,
5. Gonieniza, a• port situated at a distance of throe
leagues north of Parga ; the Turks had'here, besides a
garrison, a squadron of two frigates. and three corvettes.
4. Dutrotium, a strong chateau, defended by 68 men.
5. SantiQuararita, defended, by 150 men, and, capable

of Walona. and the fortress of Canino.
In the Mores they possessed—l. Patras, the principal
city, under the command of one of the best officers of the
Porte; he is called Youssonf-Pacha. According to the
latest news this place has not yet been Invested by the
Greeks. On the 18th of July, Ypsilanti laspeetea the
soldiers destined to form the siege.
2. Corinth, defended by 4,000 men in garrison.

passes as being impregnable; the Russrans were unaliie
to reduce it during the war of 1770. The garrison an.
sisted of 1500 men; an English engineer constructed
the defence.
, 4. Monembagie.
5. coron, invested, and is badly provisioned.

gorowski, who commanded the siege, lost 40 pieces of
cannon, which now ornament the ramparts.

sulinanns. ,

The Nero Tenses pretends that the proceeding* be.
fore the Coroner's Inquest completely falsify the ex-
clamations against butchering," dreadful career?
and government by the sword.' " How is it," the
writer asserts, " that it cannot be found that a single
person was hurt except the two who received pistol
shots ?" Two inofilensive persons shot are so small a
sacrifice on the occasion, the deaths of a bricklayer and
a carpenter are so insignificant, that it may be deemed
eves arrogant to make them a matter of public
interest. Two persons shot dead! it that all?
Such is the style of this defender of military violence,
and such the mode in which he implies, and would
commend the forbearance of the military on the 14th
of Angist. "If the soldiers did cut the people," as
bad been alleged, " wily," demands he, 4' in the name
