From the .NeU- York Commercial .qdvert;=er
GREECE,

The private correspondence from Greece, give.
the details OF severe contest between the Patriot,
and Turks, in the end Of December, in which the
former were triumphant.--The Otomans made the
attack on the fort Of Missolungi, and their impetu.
osly and obstinscy was such that they succeeded in
gaining the outwoks, when the Greeks, with sword,
and fire arms, repulsed them with great slaughter
The battle lasted three hours, during all which time
nothing was heard but the report of cannon and mus
kerry reverberating from both parties. So rrea,
was the slaughter and the resistance made bv ,he
Greeks on the assailants, that the latter were com
PEELED to turn their backs and retreat. The Turks
killed exceeded 500. On the part of the yictors.
three only were killed and the result was the Sc.
curing from the invasion of the Turks of AIbania
not only the east and western parts of Greece but,
likewise the Peoponesus. We presume it was this
splendid affair which led to the armistice that we no
tlced in our summary of yesterday.

THE FOUNT.

From Iatthan's Lyrics
We wander in a thorny maze,
a vale of doubts and fears
A night, illumcd with sickly rays.
a wilderness of tears;
We wander, bound to empty show.
The slaves of boasted will;
We wander, dupes to hope untrue,
And love to wander still.
We wander,--while unfadine low
We ne'er with zest approve;
The bliss that sparkles to DESTROY.
Secures our warmest love
Some syren leads our steps astray.
hut speaks no peace within;
We wander in Howery way,
we wander, heirs of sin!
We wander,-but though oft we roam,
Led by al'urement strong,
Yet from our heavenly Fathers home.
We would not wander long!
Cleanse US, D saviour from this stain,
In mercy's living food;
Restore the lost, and bring again
The wanderer back to God.
