INTERESTING FROM GREECE.

~
Greeks-The rumours mentioned in our
last Of the recapture Of Ipsara by the
Greeks, turns out to he true. Accounts
from Corfu to 21st of July state, that the
Greek fleet left Hydra on the 9Th of
July, and fastened to the coasts of Ipsa-
IA, where the Captain Pacha was still
cruizing; that furious battle took place
between the two fleets, and that the
Greeks succeeded by means of fre-ships
in burning three Turkish frigates. The
Captain Pacha saved himself, but his
vessel was very much damaged-eighty
other Turkish vessels of different d.
mansions were burnt or taken. The
remainder of the Ottoman fleet fed, and
took shelter, in very bad condition, at
Alitylene. After this decisive victory,
the Greeks effected landing on the
island of Ipsara, where they we're join
ed by more than 1000 Ipsariots, who
had held out against the Turks in the
two forts of the island. From five to
six thousand Turks, who were in the
island, terrified at the defeat Of their
fleet, and being pursued TO the utmost,
were all cut to pieces.
The island of Case has also been re-
captured by its inhabitants. An article,
dated Napoli de Romania, July IL,
says
"The island of Case sees the stan
ldard of the Cross again ahoat. The
Greeks who had retired into the steep
est rocks Of the island. having received
a reinforcement of 1900 men, fell upon
the barbarians, 1000 in number. The
battle was neither long nor obstinate.
The Mussulmen, who were all Egyp-
tian troops, being surprised, were over
whelmed, shot, and not one escaped the
just vengeance Of the Greeks. Cam
mons. baggage, warlike stores, provis-
ions, all fell into the hands of the defen-
ders of the Cross. This news being Of
fetal, has been announced by the Presi-
dent Of the Executive Council, sitting at
Nauplia."
The news Of the retaking of Ipsara
and Case is confirmed from all quarters.
The Augsburgh Gazette, of the 2od Of
August, contains four circumstantial let
ters on the subject. The loss Of the
Turks, however, is various|y represent
ed. Accounts received at Vienna state,
that the Turks lost five frigates and cor
vettes. A letter from Trieste, dated
August IL, says" The Ipsariots, rein
forced by the Hydriots and Speziots,
with 65 ships returned to Ipsara after
the fall of that place, aud captured 70
Turkish gun-boats, and thus prevented
the Turks in the island from escaping
The affair Of Ipsara cost the Turks 49,
900 lives"
A letter from Corfu, dated August +,
received in London, by a member of
the Greek Committee, mentions the
destruction of Is or 10000 Turks at
Ipsara.
7 The abominable barbarity and horrid
conduct Of the Turks is displayed in the
fact, that the Captain Pacha sent To Con-
stantinople, as the trophies of lpsara,
500 heads, 1900 ears, and 33 standards.
The former were exposed, as usual, at
The gates Of the Seraglio, with the fol-
lowing inscription posted beneath -
At last God has blessed the arms of
the Mussulmen, and the detestable reb-
els OF lpsara are eXtirpated from the
face, of the world, &c. sc. Let the
friends of order and tranquility rejoice
at this signal and glorious triumph
France.-The health of the King is
said TO have improved a little. His
Physicians had previously expressed an
opinion that he would not live a month.
Spain.-The Constitutionalsts at Ia
riffa had been defeated, and their pun
ishment will doubtless be as severe as
the government can desire.
Latest from Peru.-The brig Della
ware arrived at Philadelphia, from
Santa Martha, brings information Of the
18th ult. that the day before sailing, let
tiers were received from Bogota. stating,
that an action had taken place in Peru,
between the Colombian army under
Bolivar, and the Royalists, in which the
former we're completely victorious.
General Cordova ofthe Colombian army
was killed. The law Of the Congress
Of Colombia authorizing resident foreign

Iject TO the same taxes and contributions,
and the same privileges as native citi-
zens, had not been put in force at Santa
