Official information of the surrender

ed Smyrna on the eth of November.
The Turkish troops surrendered under
a capltulation requiring that they

vessels, with the prisoners, had arrived
in the gulph ofSmyrEa, This is an all
important place to the Greeks. as it
leaves them in the undispued possession
OF the Morea.
MiSolunghi, near the entrance of the
gulph OF Lepanto, was beseged by the
turkish troops, $4,000 in number, aid
ed by an Algerine and Tunisian squad
ron, and it was feared that the Greeks
would be under the necessity of surren-
dering, if not supplied speedily with
provisions. About 80 Hydriote vessels
had been fitted out for the purpose of
furnishing them with the necessary sup
plies, but it was doubted whether they
would be in season.
The Turkish squadron, under the
command of the Captain Pacha, at the
latter end of October, attempted 10 take
possession of the island of Skiatho. near
the entrance of the gulf Of Saionica.
After landing several hundred men.

ships to cut their cables, and retire to
the Dardanelles, leaving the men
whom they had landed, to be DESTROYED

IN Smyrna, states, that naval action
had lately been fought, in which the
Greeks captured sloop of war, sever
al briggs, schooner and transports.
The Smyrna papers say that the cap.
tured vessels were merely Turkish
merchant ships, four of which were
small briggs, and one a corvette.

that their countrymen in Gambia had
met with the disasters above stated, but
that subsequently, those who have re-
treated to the mountains re-descended,
attacked the Turks, and after Staying

Accounts from Madrid to the 3oth of
November, state that a quarrel had la
ken place between the French and
Spanish soldiers, which terminated in
bloodshed; three persons were killed,

MuRDER.-On Saturday last, about
two miles from New Brunswick. N. ]
JOSIAH Stout, Jun. about twenty two
years of age committed the horrid crime
of numbering his wife. About nine
months since, Mrs. Stout, in consequence
OF i'll treatment from her husband re.
turned to the house of her father. On
Saturday" last Stout put his frequent
threats, previously made, into execution.
In the absence of his wife's father, he
went to the house, armed with two Dis.
tolls and dirk. On his approach, the
mother of the unfortunate woman. an.
priced her daughter of her danger, who
flew to a room and locked herself in.
Soon after Stout broke into it, but his
wife made her escape into the garden
in the rear; he pursued, overlook her.
4 stabbed her three times in her breast:
she fell; the monster seized her by one
arm, dragged her back to the house,
where he stabbed her six times more
and she breathed her last, it is sud-
posed, before the villain had ceased
using his blood stained dagger! This
done, he locked himself in a room, no
doubt with an intention to DESTROY those
who might attempt to secure him. Bv
this time some of the neighbors had as
sembled, and Mr.. Abraham Snediker
burst in the door, and seized him. AT
this moment he discharged one of the
pistols as if with an intention of com.
hitting suicide, but there was no ball in
the charge, and one of his whiskers was
only slightly singed. The other pistol
was discovered to contain nothing but
powder and wad. He was conveyed
to Jail at New Brunswick, without hav-
ing made any disclosures. The wretch
was visited, in the evening by his father,
at which time he was apparently, in a
state ofinsanity.--N Y. Gaz.

the last Congressional caucus as the attempt Of a
minority to dictate to the majority, and as carrying
with it, not the smallest obligation upon Republ

8. Resolved, That we will use, and earnestly
invite our fellow citizens to use all honorable means
TO defeat the caucus nomination, under the firm
persuasion, that its success will eventually produce

no hesitation in saying, large majority Of the vo

the belief that three fourths oil the votes OF this

universally known and respected for their industry
