a reinforcement from Samos, attacked
the two Mussulmen fleets on the 9Th
September, and several Egyptian ships
were burnt, and some transports. sunk
with troops on board. The Captain
Pacha lost his rear admiral's ship and
two others. The Egyptian fleet was

in the waters of Rhodes, and destroyed.
More than fourth of the troops destined
10 the Morea died in the midst of the
flames or the waves of the sea, and the
rest had become prey = contagious
disease. After this defeat the Captain
Pacha sought safety in the island Of Mi
tylene."
The difference which has existed be-
tween the Lord High Commissioner of
the lonlan Islands and the Greek Gov
eminent has been amicably adjus ted.
The London Courier, in alluding to
this business says-"We are now ena-
bled to state, that the whole affair is at
an end. Captain PecheIl, of his Males
ty':ship Sybille, has arrived at the Ad-
mi'aity's, with dispatches, announcing
that the Greeks revoked their procla-
m;tion, upon requisition to that effect
made through Capt. Pechen himself
The Austrian Observer, Of the 9th inst
has an article dated Corfu, Sept. Esd. in
which it was stated, that /" this revocation
took place before the Greek Government
1ras acquainted oath the proclamation Of
the Lord High Commissioner Of the Iona,

State of Spain.-Accounts from Mad
rid state that persecution is still going on
in Spain. "ln short time" says one
of the letters, "one half Of the nation
will be shut up in prisons. and the other
half slaves. A new decree is expected,
to compel all those soldiers and civil
Ians who were in the Constitutional SER
vice, and are not purified, to leave Mad

Island Of Borneo.-Letters from Sinca-
pore, dated the 1st of March, states that
the expedition from the Netherlands,
which sailed in the preceding Septem7
Der for the interiour of the isle of Bnr-
ueo, returned in November, after hav-
ing assembled the Pontiana for the dis
lance of three hundred miles. This
expedition had for its object the subju-
CATION Of several independent states.
and completely succeeded. By means
of this conquest the government Of the
Netherlands becomes possessed of the
whole Isle of Borneo, from the eastern
frontier of the State of Benjermassin to
the northern limits of that of Sambas.-
This acquisition comprehends all the
gold and diamond mines in the island
Latest from Greece--By an arrival at
Baltimore in short passage from Smyr-
ma, accounts have been received from
that city to the 7th of October. They
contain the gratifying intelligence that
the Turkish expedition against Samos
has been abandoned for the present sea-
son, and that the Turkish feet had sail
ed from Mytilene, followed by the
Greeks who medlated an attack. Thus
another campaign has terminated, and
the Greeks are still free. We doubt
whether the attempt to subGue them
will be repeated. At the commence
ment of the campaign it was understood
that this would be the last. A. letter
from Smyrna, dated Oct. /, says
There is no interesting news from the
fleets since the destruction Of an Egyp-
tian frigate and sloop of war, off Stan
che, by the Greeks. There is ru-
mour to-day, of the Greeks having des-
troyed another frigate and some smaller
vessels, near Patmos. The Greeks
have been successful in all parts of the
Morea. The winter is approaching. and
the Turks must look out for a harbour
for their fleet"
