the Greeks. to carry Napoli dl Romanla

of concert in the operations OF the patri

with the Turks, 10 their attempts 20 sub

back by the British vessel OF war, Medi-
na To show that the blockade of the OF
toman ports was not ilusory the Provln-
clal government of Greece had sent twelve
ships of war, 10 cruise before Patras, in
the gulf of Lapanto and on the coasts OF
Albania. Four Austrian vessels, laden
with supplies for the Turks, had been cap

the great power under whose dag they
sailed, had ordered them TO be set free, on
condition that their Cargoes should be sold
IN Christian port.
The Greeks at Sal0nica, after having
sustained series of overwhelming rever-
Ses, had been reduced by the troops OF the

as that OF the inhabitants OF SCio. The
whole country. bordering on Mount Olym-

The Colombian forces have again
made themselves masters of Coro. The
following is an extract of a letter from
that place, dated April IS, received
here from a person in high rank in the
Columbian army
"Onthe 18th we fell in with the
force under Col, Tello, consisting of
the battalion of Hosterliz, and the light
companies of Barinas. which we COM
p~letely defeated. To complete the
work, we only want Morales, and con-
sequently Puerto Cabello must fall into
our power, which will give absolute
liberty to the whole of Colombia"
The Indian chief Reyes Vargas ar
rived at Coro about the middle of last
week, with a reinforcement of 1900
men; and if full credit can be given to
the statement of the Colombian forces
assembled at Coro, which are said to
amount to between 8 and 1000 men, we
should suppose that general Morales
Stands but q poor chance against such
fearful odds as he will have to meet. If
he attempts to fight his way back to
Puerto Cabello; his retreat by sea, &C.
cording to reports, having been cut off
by the destruction of all the small craft
on the coast.
The last arrival from Coro brings &C
counts that no vessel would be allowed
to touch On the coast in possession Of
the Colombians, for the space of ID
days. This measure bad been adopted
as a further preventative to the escape
by sea of Morales or his troops.

A NEW CASE


At the Superior Court of Law for the coun-
" Of Spotsvlvania. held in this town, the case
of the Commonwealth against - Robbins
was tried on TUESDAY, last Mr.. Robbins was
tried for GRIZZLY and unmercifullv whipping
and beating his own slave. The defendants
counsel attempted to rescue him by arguing
that the alledged offence was not indictable !;
but the court overrnled the objection, and the
point was reserved for the decision of the Gen
eral Court. The Jury retired but a short time,
and assessed the fine at three hundred dollars.
This penalty, though small In itself, NAV be
considered Justly severe and exemplary, from
the circumstance of the defendant. As this is
the first case of kind that is known to have
occurred in Virginia, it annot fail to be in the
highest degree inte 'esting to every humane bo-
som since it exhibits the law interposiug to pro-
tect the whole of our servile population from the
merciless rigor and cruelty of those who are
disposed to exercise their power in an unieel-
ing manner. We regard it too. as as a stri.
king instance of a good and liberal policy, as
nothing. surely. can be truly and ultimately
polite. which directly outrages the rights of
humanity.

REPUBLIC.

From the papers which We lately an
nounced as re eived by the Sally. from
Maracaibo, and from which We presented
several communications, we have made
further t,anslations, and though some OF
them relate to events in that quarter which
took place so far back as January they are
not withou: interest {; indeed, the first
movements of a people bursting from sla-
very into the o day Of freedom, must
ever have a claim on the afternoon nd re-
gard OF these states, and when their long
night of Darkness and oppresslo is con
sidered, there will be nc difficulty in max
ing all due allowance for the warm and
enthusiastic coIouring they give to their
Fetes and rejoicinss. The celebration of
Washington, birth will be read with very
satisfactory feelings, and it will be seen
that the Intendant General has a Just esti-
mate of Morales.

LATEST FROM SOUTH AMERICA.

By the arrival this morning Of the schr.
Endymion, capt. Hathaway. in Ia day:
from Laguira; we learn that the Patriot
blockading squadron of Porto Cabello, had
summoned the garrison to surrender. The
feet consisted OF three briggs and six schrs,
and had been firing tor some days into the
town. The effect of the summons was not
known when capt. II. put to sea.
A report had reached Laguira that the
Spanish general Morales, defeated in all
his projects, and perceiving that he was a.
bout TO be surrounded, bad effected his
escape, and arrived at Porto Cabello -
This is extremely probable, as by accounts
received here last evening, it is ascertain
ed that Coro bad been re-taken by the Pa
triots on the 18th April, after an engage
ment with the force under Colonels TeIlo
and Barinas, in which the latter were
completely defeated. Even taking the
strength of Morales army at 5000 men.
though we do not believe he had half that
number, the Columbian forces assembled
at Coro were more than sufficient to cope
with bin. Cut off by sea and land, as he
efectuaIly was, nothing but an uncondi-
tiopal surrender presented itself; but we
can scarcely suppose that a soldier like
Morales, who had fought so many battles,
and whom We never heard charged with
cowardice, wonld have left bis army, and
consulted his own personal safety meaely.
But be this as il may, the independence Of
Colombia may now be considered as fixed
on an immovesble basis, and all the hopes
of Spain of being able TO retain an inhu-
ence there, destroyed forever. The tri-
umph Of liberal principles, must ere long
decide the fate of the remaining provinces
of this delightful portion Of the globe, and
lead to their complete emancipation from
toreign thraldom.
In addition to the above particulars, we
learn by capt. Hathaway. that Com. Da-
niels had just arrived at Laguira from the
blockading squadron of Porto Cabsllo,

ARRIVAL OF THE ALLIGATOR.

The y. S. schr. Alligator returned to
this port yesterday afternoon, from a sue
~cessful cruize. in the West lndies-the
term Of service for which her crew had
gallsntly volunteered, having expired.
We learn that while the A. was cruizing
on the north side of Cuba, she fell in with
the American schooner Abigail, from N
York. owned and commanded by captain
briggs. Capt. D. informed that the Ame-
rican sloop Jay, chartered by him had been
plundered on the coast. and that an En-
glish schooner had also been plundered by
some pirates. Capt. d. said il was bis in
%sention to pursue them TO Mariel, having
provided his vessel with en- additional mum
Der of men and arms for the purpose.
Capt. Stockton, upon this information took
measures Tor their capture, and with the
assistance of Capt. briggs, so closely
blockaded them, that they were forced to
take refuge on shore, IN the port OF Aibar-
IA. Capt. S demanded them in the name
of the American Government, but their de-
livery was refused by the Spanish authors
ties.
The following circumstances are said to
be OF notorioIs% occurrence; and were what
induced capt. Stockton To- make every ex-
ertion for the capture of the pirates:-
An English brig from ScotlanGl had been
Boarded of the West end of ST. Domingo,
and the whole of her crew murdered.
The cargo was brought TO Xibarra-the
government was informed of the atrocious
act, aAd no notice whatsoever was taken
of it. On the contrary, the villains here
exchanged their vessel foc another, and

make use of boats in crossing some OF

cargoes of merchandise, are said to
have sunk between Cahawba and Port

the latter had succeeded in reaching a
tree, from whence they were rescued by
the Tensa--the others, four in number,
attempted to swim ashore, and their
fate was not known. The river is re
