St. Barts on the Cd oil August. On the 9th sailed

at 10 A. M. off Tortola, the brig passed our stern

On Saturday last sepenty-SiT Pirates were landed
from the Grampus, and given into custody OF the
Marshall. We doubt not they will meet with their
deserts. To Captain GREGORY, and the officers and
crew of the Grampus the greatest praise is due Tor
their vigilance IN protecting our commerce, and
|particua for the capture of the Palmyra, alias
Panchita, which has been notorious Tor her depre-
idatons American commerce.
II is to be hoped that the owners OF vessels, and
captains who have been captured or pundered by
this vessel will forward their statements in order
that justice may have its course.

rate them, than the rndest persons in the
community. Thus, Notwithstanding the
royal associations of men of science,
France alone has succeeded in establish
ing but two or three steam vessels. In
Austria, Jerome Bonaparte, almost un-
aided, has muniiiten,ly expended 100000
pounds, in vainly cndeavorng TO com
plete one to navigate the Danube. Only
one has been established on the Adrai'ic !;
and if one has been started from the
Baltic, ii is the speculation of Scotch
man. The lakes and rivers of North
America are nevertheless filled with
them, and we may soon expect to hear
Of their connecting the northern with the
southern continent, and al! parts OF the
latter by means of vast rivers which
penetrate the interior. The public are

bic and numerous body Of the merchants
of Liverpool that had ever petilioned
that House complaining of the non-ac-
know cement by our government OF
the Independence of Colombia, from
which conduct they anticipated great
detriments to the trade of this country.
All hopes OH the part of Spain, OF re-
covering her colonies had ceased, and
the Colombian, like allnew governments,
was very anxious 10 obtain the &C
Acknowledgement of her independence.
A very lucrative trade has been estab-
ished with Colombia, but an Interrupt
ton to it was apprehended, as an ac-
credited agen, had notified, on the 9th
April TO the several Governments OF
Europe, that the Colombian government
would only admit the ships and subjects
ofihose states which would acknowledge
their independence. This notification
they, feared, would be followed up; and
it was an immediate detriment TO the
trade, as all merchants felt extremely
distressed in getting up shipments, which
might before they could enter Colombia,
be met by the decree Of exclusion. The
policy pursued by " government, APP
pcared TO him to be inconsistent with the
true interests of the country, and he saw
nothing in the past conduct Of the Spa
nish government, (who had furnished
arms, men, and money, to our colonies,
when they were in arms against u.s.
that could call for the political etiquette
which we observed towards Spain.
Other nations of Europe had nothing to
gain and nothing to lose by the seknow-
ledgmen,, as they had no trade, but it
was a matter which essentially con-
ccrned the interests of England, as in
the present state of Agricultural distress,
the loss of a large and prosperous branch
of our commerce would be severely felt.
On this question and in their conduct
towards the pirates, who had gro" n by
he thought the Minis
iers had neglected their duty, and he
should on the very first opportunity next
session bring the matters before the
House.
Mr.. Washington said, when the time
came for discussing the question, it
would appear that the government had
acted with regard to the dignity and in
teresl Of the nation.
Mr.. W. Smith thought, that the 60
vernment should have acted with more
(orca and less etiquette, though he &C
the Government had paid
every regard TO honor and integrity

counts of GREAT SUCCESSES OF
THE GREEKS. ChourschidP ha had
lrepulsed the Greeks on TIC 7(h Of July,
bu, next day suffered total defeat Four
lof the Pachas were made prisoners.
Chourschid pacha was joined by the Ps-
cha Of Negropont, Of Larissa, and Of ia
lpina. His forces were estimated at
10000 men, but great part was but an
Iandiciplined militia and brigands. The
Greeks were commanded b. Odyssou,
Ypsilan,a, Norman, and Bazzaris.
Chourschid Pacha, who had sent to the
Porte Tartar, to announce the exter-
rhination Of the Giaours, was engaged
inprudently in the defles of Zit,oby
(Thermopyl ae) at one side, and by those
ofNeopavie on the other.
The Greeks had formed an ambus-
cade, and commenced the battle will,
the courage of,rue Spar,ans. The three
Pachas were made prisoners, and Chour-
schid Pacba saved himself with 1000
men, on the side of Larissa. The loss
Of the Ottomans is computed at $4,000
men, that OF the Greeks at $4,000 men.
The consequences of this event are
likely to be most important.

Upwards Of 600 persons were put to the
sword by the Greeks on the 10Th Of July,
in spite ofthe promise they had made to
give safeguard to the Musselmen. The
town was prey to the massacre for
three days. The unfortunate men res
cued have been sent to the Pacha oil
Smyrna.
The reports BY these vessels are, that
Turkish Army had beaten the Greeks
at Thermopylae, taken possession oil
Thcbcs and approached Athens. The
intelligence Of this check seems to have
been made prctext by the Greeks to
murder the Turkish Garrison, which
they had promised 10 spare.
