Accounts ofa recent date, have been receiv-

there is not the least danger to be aPPrehended
from the Indians. The war between the Cher

Of deeds, both refusing TO fight without the van

and catle had been carried off by surPrize, aud
part OF the former barbarously murdered. We
lave respectable force in this quarter; and 1t

to be at peace, but that he received for an an-

hordes Of Huns and other barbarians, could not
have given more appropriate answer.

the Greeks are masters OF nearly all
Crete, where Contrary to the testimony
OF Olivier they greatly outnunlber the
Turks. BY sea, their great disadvantage
is the want of ships OF war. The mer-
chant vessels in which they have hitherto
fought are too small to be laid alongside
the Turkish ships Of the line; and hence
not being able to capture their enemy's
ships, they have succeeded chiefly by
burning them. Lastly, Our informant

and assures US, in the most positive man
ner, that there was 10 capitulatlon ID The

TO surrender to gain time, as the fleet oil

the Greeks were aware of their object,
and no terms were agreed upon.

FROM LhGUIRA.
BALTIMORE, NOV. !

The arrival Of the Georgetown packet
at New York, in seventeen days from
Laguita, furnishes intelligence from that
place to the 18th Of October.
The Editor of FL Venezoiano, OF Car
raccas, in his paper OF October TN says
There are reports, although not d.
rect, that the castles OF the bar OF Mara
caibo have surrendered TO Morales With
out having MAIDS any re sistanre."
The editor adds, that there are no de-
tails received, and expresses his doubts
as to the correctness as to the reports,
and rsmaiks that "the comnandant is
neither Rapp nor an Alvarez" IL
would have given Us pieasureto have seen
this anticipation realiz ed, but subsequen,
information derived from very respecia-
Bile sources, removed all doubts on the
subject; and We regret that we are com

1t appears that the officer command
ing the castle al the entrance 81 the lake
Of aIaracebo, surrendered ysi:hont max
ing the least resistance. The garrison
cons sled of three hundred men, we'll
provisioned, and was strong enough to
resist any attack which the enemy with
his weakened force, could make--and ii
ii had held out only for few days, the
very strong forces under the COMMAND
of Mon.ila and General PACE, which
had possession Of all the interior passes,
would have been enabled TO encompass
Morales, and thus would have put an
end to his career. But fortune ordered
it otherwise, and the trcachery OF the
officer in command OF the fortress COM
plctcly defeated the plan of the Colon
biaI,s, and opened a Tree passage to the
enemy, who Immediately awaited him
sclfof the oppor,nnity aud Effected his
escape to Porto Cavello.

From our correspondent of the New

cas- from Quito, when they intended 10

of dry goods.
The U S. ship Cyanc, Capt. Spence,
was al Laguira, and would sail for Porto
Cavelio in ten days.
A letter received by the Editor Of the

DR.. REDS first essay Con Nervous
Affections) considers the question how
far Nervous diseases can be effected by
the will. Patients are told not to give
way to their complaints and Buchan
concludes the treatment of hypochon-
driacism by advising the sufferer above
all things to keep up his spirits-as if
che essence of the malady did no, con-
sist in inability to do so. DR.. Reid,
however, cites some strange instances
Of the power Of the will over the actions
Of the body; particularly the following
extraordinary narrative:

treatise, narrates case, thatthe accurra-
