Reception at Albanu.

An immense body of citizens and
troops had been assembled in the city
during the day, Numerous parts of this
ancien; city were superbly decorated.
The whole had the appearance of a
Carnival. The Capitol shone conspicu-
ously. The 'mottos, embIems, and
cunning devices" were appropriate, but
had mostly been anticipated in other
places. One bore this hearty inscrip-
| ton
ola FAYETTE, We remember thee
We reuere thy qOorth-We love thy vir-
tues-We hail thee Welcome"
The day passed without the arrival
of the Guest, and very few had dined in
their Impotence TO see him. About six
O'Clock, shout from the cupola of the
Capitol dissipated the gloom. The
arches were lighted up, and the windows
were Illuminated. The General landed
four miles below Greenbush, and was
welcomed by General SOLOMON VAN
RENSSELAER,, who took a seat with him.
A superb escort of carriages and dra-
goons awaited hin. His reception at
Greenbpsh was extremely splendid. The
streets were decorated on large scale,
and the military display was fine. The
road-sides, windows, and house-tops,
were filled with ladies, citizens, and citi-
zen soldiers, whose acclamations almost
drowned the salutes of the artillery.
The President of the village addressed
the Guest. We need not add, that his
replies are always laconic, but always
pertinent and grac eful. He then pass
ed to marquee. Here, among others,
he was presented to Gen. J. |. Van Rens-
selaer, at whose house he resided in the
Revolution. The roar of artillery an
nounced his landing in the City, and the
procession moved forward, the darkness
OF the night increasing the effect of pa
geantry.-His chariot was drawn by
four milk-white horses, followed by a
long line of carriages. The rumber
present was estimated at 10000; al
though many had gone home, in expec-
tation he would not enter that night.
Being conducted to the Capitol, he
was welcomed by the Mayor, in neat
address, and presented with the freedom
of the city. After some introductons,
the General was introduced to the Gov
ernor's room; and was again welcomed
in an address by His ExcelIency, in be-
half of the "million and an half of free
men" of the State. The introduction
Of revolutionary characters and others
then took place. The whole interiour
of the Capitol was brilliantly illuminated
and decorated. A standard of Genser.

GREEK ACCOUNTS.
~ ZANTE. JULY IL.

ZANTE, JULY 10.
What was expected has taken place
The islands Of Ipsara and Case have
been desolated by the Turks, and the
standard of the Cross is again bathed
with the blood of martyrs. The Cap.
taln Pachu having received large sums
of money, employed it in corrupting the
1900 Albanians (Schyhetars) which
were in garrison at Ipsara.-They were
to have a thousand piastres a man, for
surrendering the batteries. The Turk
ish fleet arrived off the island on the Sd
July, and the lpsariots were in good
spirits, and all devoted to liberty or
death. They had prepared to attack
the infidel feet with freships--But on
the approach of the Turks, the Albani-
ans hoisted the Turkish flag and when
the Islanders approached them, these
mercenary Christians fired at their BROTH
er Christians. CONSERVATION ensued !;
and each one sought safety in fight or
desperation. Some escaped in vessels.
The Turks having landed, set the town
on fire. The 9Th was passed in de-
sultory warfare; and the troops COM
mitted great excuses. The Turkish
Admiral exerted himself to prevent the
massacres, and offered $500 for each
prisoner brought in; but his enraged
troops disregarded his orders and offers.
On the 9th and 18th, the massacres were
continued; and on the 9th, the Admiral
btew up the .fortS.--Itis stated that 1900
heads Of women, old men, and Children,
were hung up on the yards of the Turk
ish vessels

Terrible Explosion. eleven o'clock
on Saturday last, the Powder Mills in
Lee, owned by Messrs. Latin, LOOMS,
& Co. were blown to atoms, with two
tremendous reports, (about 10 or IS
seconds apart that shook the buildings
in this town, "a distance of four miIes,l
to the very base. The column ofsmoke
which arose, on this occasion, above the
eastern horizon, was truly grand and
imposing-it passed off to the south
west, and its course was distinctly mark
ed for one hour. The buildings in the
vicinity of the mills, were more or less
njured-every window of Messrs. Ball
and Bassett's Woollen Factory were
dashed in, and the building otherwise
shattered. But the most distressing cir
cumstance of all is the loss of lives.
Three persons were killed, and one so
severely wounded that his life is in i'm
minent danger. The first explosion
took place in the Glazing Mill in which
were Messrs. Targee and Sparks-one of
whom was blown over the top ola tree
at least thirty feet in height, into the
river-the other was found at the dis
lance of 10 OF Is rods from the spot
both were dead, and their bodies man.
gled in shocking manner. Mr.. Beach
was in the drying building, land was found
in the mill-pond, at some distance from
the mill, an hour OF two afterwards.
Mr.. Hinckley, the person wounded, was
on the floom outside the Glazing Mill,
and was thrown into the river.
How the fire was communicated no
one can tell.
The quantity Of powder which ex-
ploded, was between two and three tons,
and the loss Of the works, damage to
buildings, &c. will not fall short of4o0O
dollars. Mr.. Hinckley died of his
wounds on Mon day night.

PROGRESS OF La F.4YETTE.

About noon on Friday The 18th inst.
the General arrived at Hudson. The
whole population Of the city and neigh
bourhood were assembled to greet him
with their offerings; and the concourse
was so great on his landing, that it was
almost impossible for him to proceed.
A barouche and four, with four grooms
in livery was provided; and conducted
him through almost compact mass of
citizens, extending nearly a mile, and
under decorated arches, &c. to the
Court House, amidst acclamations and
every other demonstration of Joy and
festivity. The Court House was su-
perbly decorated, and best of all, the
benches were filled by the fair daugh-
tiers of the city and county. He was
addressed by the Mayor. The Com
mon Council was then presented to him ;
and afterwards sirty-eight veterans of
the Revolution. The incidents and an
ecdotes which occurred on this feeling
occasion sufused many eyes with tears.
After the military officers were intro
duced, the Ladies had each the felicity
it was mutual--of taking him by the
hand.
On passing Cors1ckie, New-Baltimore
Coeymans and Castleton, the population
lined the banks, and cheerings and
salutes were repeated.
