The intelligence from Greece is not less
disastrous than that from Spain. Advices are
received from Smyrna 10 the 18th of July,
which state that the war has assumed in cy-

determination. The force of the Captain Pa

fate. AT this moment, SAYS the Spectator
Oriental, we see the smoke arising on all sides
oi us, IN large extent of country. Many
Greeks have persisted, and many have been in
drbted To flight for their safety, and have
taken refuge in the mountains. The women
and children have BEEN spared, but their stu
alton is truly dcplorable. They wander here
and there on the borders of The shores, with
some few triles saved from the flames, and
looking towards the sea with countenances

pirates, the growth ofthese times, yomited by
the sea, make descents on the coast and rob
even misery in lis last retreat. Though COM
patriots, their hearts are memorable. They
respect neither the feebleness age, nor of SEX
nor OF mistortunes worthy of commiseration.
Conflicts of minor importance s. doubtful is

Mytelcue. The ipsariots, with $50 vessels,
full ot warriors, made descent on the former
place, and We're successful in their attack

Immense numbers of Turks have hastened

The Greeks at Mytelene have rejected every

Abdulhad Pacha has sent 1000 men from
Salonica TO the Gulf of Yolu, in order to sup
press the insurrection. The insurgents took
refuge in Trikeri, but the Turks burned no
less than 81 villages, and massacred more than
1000 men, while women and children were

LONDON, August Alt is sufficiently
clear, frsm the Intelligence we published yes
irrday, that the war between France and
Spain is not likely to he terminated by the
mediation ofths country. Spain might be
glad to avail herself of our interv ention but
France will not But before we urge some
facts and arguments upon this subject, we
shall restate the principal points Of the int ell
ligence "e communicated yesterday, in order
10 show that nothing has occurred to shake in
the slightest degree our conviction of its accu-
racy. We do not, and cannot entertain "A doubt
upon the subject
We stated that France was willing to termi-
nate The contest, without compromising her
or her dignity, by ID direct negocia-
tion with the Corfes-which desire had been
further increased by the bliod and infatuated
conduct ofthe Regency.
Spain demanded an Iimine the Intervention

the iui6lmcnt ofthe conditions Of any treaty.
Great Britain cond not accept any offer or
mediation which did not come from both the
Bellgercnfs.
France did not desire the intervention OF
Great Britain as mediator.
The vinient party Of the Cortes were de-
ternniued to run any risk, however it might
endanger tbe safety and even the lives of the
Royal Family.
The Regency Mt Madrid opposed another
obstacle to Negotiation, by the expression Of
sentiments and principles " holly irreconcilea-
