afterwards hauled round 10 N. +. when il
moderated. a number of vessels were

ATTEMPT Ar REGlCIDE.

Among the selections from the English
papers received at New York by the late
arrivals, we end the mention of an attempt,
TO assassinate the king ofSwedeb. Intel
ligence OF this circumstance was received
at Hamburg on the Cd August and is thus
related -
The king was proceeding to his tour at
Norway, and travelling in an open Cal.
riage, when, within a few miles Of Chris
tiana, a man of decent appearance, and
who, from his bearing a rifle, at frs
sight was supposed 10 be sportsman,
boldly placed himself on the side of the
road, leveiIed his piece and fired at the
king, whom he however missed, the bal.
having lodged Itself in the back cushion
OF the carriage. The king rapidly aiisht
ed,iD order to rush upon the assassin; bu,
the latter, aware of having missed his dc
sign, had already ceased TO live, by cut
ting his throat with cutlass he wore.-
The origin and further particulars of this
event is unknown; indeed il only tfanspir-
ed here through the messenger ordered
TO carry the intelligence thereof to the
crown prince, who is now travelling upon
the continent.

THE GREEKS.

Various statements are given in the
German papers respecting the late con-
test of the Greeks and Turks some of
which give the advantage to the latter.
! Ii appears, however, that this refers TO
what took place on the 9TH of July, and
that 1t was on the following day, the 9Th,
that the general engagement took place
which terminated in the total defeat of
the Turkish army. Fhe Greeks them
selves admit that they were worsted in
the first days battle, but claim the victory
on the second. The following is the lat
est notice, which appears in the Paris pa
pers, OF these memorable actions -
sit is said, that Chourschid Pacha,
having heard of the death of The Captain
Pacha, wished to strike r"eat blow to
re. encourage the Mussulmaps and hav-
ing made an appeal to the faithful, he
found himself, as by enchantment, at the
head of about so or 10000 men. It is
said that 8 Pachas and 40 Beys Joined
him with all their disposabIe forces. On
The 18th Of july, he held with him a grand
council OF war, and on the 18th he called
together all the Chic is and Subalterns, e
made them speech, in which he an.
nounced TO them, that "the Muscovite
Unbelievers, VINO for long time had ex-
cited their fellow Christians, the Greeks,
To their Internal revolt, had now abandon
ed them, and obtained the peace of the
sublime Porte that the Grand Seignior
had no longer any thing 10 dread on the
side of the Danube, and that therefore
his army on the Danube was on its way
{, join the army of Thessaly that the
great Turkish fleet had disembarked
$4,000 men at Patras, who were going
| TO attack the Greeks in the rear and thai,
in iine,a prey awaited the faithful MussuI-
mans, who had only to advance to secure
IT." The Turks, iDflamed bythis 5peech,
attacked with fury on the 18th, and OBJ
famed some advantages, which enabled
Cbourschid Pacha 10 send, on the same
evening, by Tartars, a considerable mum
Ter OF heads and ears to Constanlinope.
But, on the following day the fortune OF
battle turned, and at the moment when
the " Tks supposed they were about to
obtain possession of tee pass Of Their
mopyle, they experienced the most COM
ple,e defeat We expect every moment
circumslantial details of this memorable
day"
1t is stated in letters from Smyrna, Of
the 18th of July, that the British ships of
war now respect the Greek blockade, so
far at least as not to interfere when the
latter prevent English, or other vessels
from entering the bIocksded ports with
supplies for the Turks. NJ Y. Com. ID

WEDNESDAY, MORNING, OCT. 9.

The following fragment was found by
the subscriber, who thinks that although
IT bears the style, in somewhat, of Job, il
alludes to temhorui subjects.
LIST. There was man in the land of
Loudhoun,and his name was Joe: and that
man was Of perfect stature, in his own
eyes, being an Upright man, and one that
feared one Of the temple, such as were
the ar'ihcers-a "Mason," who died in
single combat.
I'd. And this perfect man worshipped
people called the Dutch, and they did
bow down unto him as their Baal.
Sd. His substance was in lands On the
earth, and some in the moon. So that
Joe was the greatest of all the men who
held station amongst the rulers Of the
land.
4sh. But being inflated with vanity Z
took unto himself counsellor, who had
also drank Of the cup Of abomina,;on.
5h. And these two WISE men, held
council at the bank of river and, in a
city called Alexandria, near Grand Cairo,
where namesake of Joe's-Joseph son
OF Jacob--did dwell in the days past, IN
the land of Egypt.
9th. And it came TO pass that they did
write book !; nay verify they did write
two hooks-and they were signed with
seals.
7Ih. A horseman was called, like un>
to Jehu, to bear these books unto man,
''in whom there is no guile"
9th. For the man Joe was pulled up
with the possession of many shekles of
silver that had been paid unto him by
certain rich person called BAIL, as the
price of land.
9th. And Joe counted his o.ren and his
asses, and they numbered like the sands
of the sea shore, And he verify believed
that he was lord of land, like Canaan,
flowing with mill; and with honey.
10th. But disappointing mt came unto
the man, and he sung the lamentations of
jeremiah from noun. Pisgah or Clifton.

The fact of the sudden removal of the
American depot from the Island of Nil
norca, in consequence, it is said, of hos.
Tie feelings on the part of Spain TO
wards the United States has excited some
attention Besides the letter of the a.
gent OF Lloyd's, which we yesterday pub,
iished, we have other communications
from Gibraltar (not of later date !, w hich
mention the circumstance, and state dis
tinctly that the measure is regarded as
the forerunner of declaration OF hostili.
ties on the part of Spain against the u
States. This issue is certainly not very
probable, nor, if probable, very alarming.
Spain may issue paper declaration OF
war against the U. States, but she has no,
man, musket OF ship, that she could
despatch, to give to such declaration its
due Importance. As the occurrence,
however, whether it have or have no, in
The end OF this result, is of some impor-
lance, we will insert extracts from two
letters in order TO show more clearly the
light in which j, is viewed.
"Ihe sudden dep. riure Of the Ameri.
can frigate has given rise to many coniec.
lures, but most people in this place con.
cur in looking at it, at least as an indica>
ton of very hostile feeling on the part
OF Spain. The stores at Msjorca are not
very considerable, but the removal OF
them will occasion some Inconvenience ;
especially as the United States viii no,
know where. 10 find another depot by any
| means so convenient"
| Another letter uses tine subsequent ex>
prsssions
"Were it not that Spain is in such a
distracted and feeble condition, it seems
likely that she would have conten,ed her
self only with declaration OF war. Not
having ventured 10 proceed 10 this extent,
itseems somewhat to SAVIOUR ofpery spite
and narrow policy, to insist upon the re-
moval OF the depot,especially as its main
tenance is not of any great consequence to
the United States. 1t is only like showing
her teeth because she dare not bite. Eve
~ body,or almost every body here views
IT in the same way thus far, viz. THAT
Spain feels wrath at the acknowledgment
of the independence of her rebellious col.
onies. Nevertheless, perceive by the
extracts from American papers, inserted
in those of London, that deputies or Off.
cial Ministers will be received and recog-
nized at Washington from mono of them
until after the meeting of the next con-
gress. Spain may, prehaps, have waited
until that step had been adopted"
