1t appears BY an extract of a, letter

their accounts Of a. complete naval VIC
tory having been gained by the Greeks
over the combined Turkish and Egyptian
feet This fleet, after losing eight yes
sells i'm the battle of Samos, took refuge
between Cos and Rhodes, where the
Greeks again attacked and entirely de-
stroyed it, with the exception Of aship
Of the line and two frigates, in chase
of which they were left. The speota-

abandoned as she is, is. represented as
truly imposing Without arms, ammu-

like the ancient heroes, are obliged to

LATEST FROM ENGLAND.

The ship Mary Catherine, which ar
rived here on Saturday, 81 days from
Liverpool, has brought London papers
TO the 9th of October, from which we
are furnished with information II days
later than before received. From a
perusal of these papers, we ind that
the prosecuted Greeks were. every
where gaining ground on their enemies.
They had been completely successful in
naval action with Inc Turks, and had
entirely destroyed the fleet of the lat
ter. The fortress of Monamhasia had
surrendered to them, after siege; and
from the famine and, disease which pre-
vailed in the other forts, it was thought
they would soon follow. Navarrin and
Coron had also fallen into the hands of
the Greeks. Though divided, and
without resources, they are not dis
heartened, but exhibit a spirit of firm
opposition, worthy their ancestors
The prospect of war between Rus
STA and Turkey, is still uncertain, and
is the subject of much contradictory
speculation in the London prints. The
rumour, that a. Congress would be call
ed Ont the subject by the Russian En-
pePour, IN consequence of being dissat-
is6ed with the overtures of the Grand
Vizier, looks ominous of war. The
Courier, however,, considers most of
the, intelligence from that quarter as the
offspring of commercial designs. The
King Of England had commenced his
continental tour; and on his arrival at
Brussels, met with favourable recep-
ton. He was expected, at Hanover on
the 9Th of October. On his water ex-
eupsion to Calais, he encountered much
rough weather, and many shair-breadth
escapes which afford some opportuni-
ties of complimenting his Majesty for
his intrepidity and tearlessness. The
dismissal of Sir Robert Wilson from the
British service, had produced consider
able discussion in the newspapers. He
demanded Court of Inquiry into his
eonduct on the occasion of the Queens
funeraA which had been refused, when
he was summarily discharged from the
army. He had paid e 5000 for his
commission, and had continued in SER
vice twenty-five years. Sir Robert
states, that he was dismissed without
any allegation being urged against him.
A meeting had been held,by his polit-
ical friends, for the purpose of indemni-
flying him for the loss of his commission.
The "+Edinburgh Scotchman," "a rad
F, zeal paper, we Presume,] after eulogiz-
ing the distinguished military character
of Sir Robert, states that he had been
sacrificed for requesting brother off,
Ger to prevent his soldiers from firing on
the people. during. the funeral Of the

A new spirit of Justification has brok-
en- out at Madrid, which, it is feared, is
the precursor ofevents not unlike those
which distinguished the French. Revo-
luton. Morillo was the ostensible OBJ
ject but the determination of the King
and Royal family appears to: have been

signs of three bullets being discharged
at him. but Providence has protected
