Interesting Letter from Greece.

The Constitutionelle gives a"private
letter" from Leghorn, announcing a.
mother great naval victory gained by
the Greek Admiral MIAULIs over the
Turkish fleet, commanded by Topal Pa
cha.-The latter is said to have left Su-
da the 25th June, TO cover the disem-
barkation of 1000 Egyptians, as rein
forcement TO Ibrahim Pacha, and was
then TO proceed to The mouth of the
Peloponnesus, to facilitate the operations
of the Pacha Of Romelia. But accord
ing to the private letter, the Greek fleet
frustrated their design by decisive vic
tory gained over the enemy on the lst
July between Cerigo and Milos. The
action lasted several hours. The discom-
future of the Turks is represented as
most complete, and ii was expected that
most of their vessels would fall into the,
hands of the Greeks.

Ohio CdnaI.-We learn from the Ohio
papers that this extensive work, destin-
ed TO effect junction of the waters of
the Ohio with those of the northern and
western lakes, is advancing with great
rapidly. The Chillicothe Supporter of
the 25th ult. states that about 1900 la
borers are employed on the Portage and
Licking Summits, as well as a considera-
BILE number on the Miami route near
Hamilton. Contracts have already been
made toethe amount of nearly one mil
lion of dollars, at prices much below
the estimates. Hands can be bad in
abundance at the rate of eight dollars
per month and il is added that if the
next Legislature will so modify the act
of the last session, as to authorize the
Fund Commissioners to borrow as much
money as they can employ to advantage.
the whole of the work will be compiet-
ed at a much earlier period than was
originally contemplated.--In Columbus,
Newark, and other places on or near
the canal line, it is said that business is
already improving. Bali. Am.

ARsoN.-On the morning of the 9Th inst.
the elegant and commodious dwelling-house
OF Col. Joseph Valentine of Hopkinton, with
the wood-house and she'd adjoining, were con-
sumed by fire, with nearly all their contents.
The loss ercIusiue of insurance is estimated at
about $4,000 There is no doubt of its beino
the work of an incendiary. II was first dis
covered about O'Clock, and it spread so ran
idly that some of the children were rescued
with difficulty from the flames, by being taken
out at the windows. The fire appeared to
have been first kindled in some straw in the
chamber Of the shed. Col. Valentine was
"nw"ll at the time, and was, sogother with
his wife, absent from home at the Springs. IN
distant part of the town.
This is the third building destroyed by in
cendiaries in the same vicinity within short
time past. The other two were barns. one Of
which belonged TO Col. Valentine.
Two persons, suspected of committing this
diabolicai act, have been arrested and exam
med, one OF whom, woman, has been COM
mitted to Jail for trial, and the other is dis.
charged.

In our paper Of the 31st ult. we noticed the
stealing of several articles in Athol. The per
son who took them, sold the gold necklace to
a jeweler in this town, from whence he was
pursued and taken in Sherburne. Several
other articles, supposed to be stolen. were
found upon him, as will be seen by the Sher-
ifs notice in this days paper.

Colocotroni. He afterwards continued
his march upon Argos. Several actions
were previously fought, but all of them
to the disadvantage of the Greeks. Ev-
cry thing indicates that their energies
are paralyzed.
While all accounts of the maritime
operations of the Greeks against the
Turks speak only of victories, the most
recent information from Corfu, of the 9th
July, states that lbrahm Pachacontinued
his advances iato the Morea. The con-
queror in several actions which he had
with the two Colocotronis, father and
son, marched upon Tripolizza. As
soon as the Greeks saw the impossibility
OF saving that capital, they set fire to it
Nth their own hands, after having be-
fore destroyed all the villages that lay in
their route. lbrahim Pacha afterwards
entered Tripolizza, and continued his
victorious march as far as Argos. How
ever alarming this intelligence may be
for the Greek cause, it is no longer pos
sible TO doubt the fidelity of Colocotroni,
for all his property lying in the environs
Of Tripolizza, he himself gave it up TO
destruction.
The following is in one of the Journals.
The Ambassadors of France, Russia,
Prussia, and Austria, after having re-
ceiVed Instructions from their respective
Courts, have transmitted to The Refs Eff
tendi. a Note, containing their offer of
mediation to adjust the differences be-
tween the Porte and the Greeks. To
this Note was added the result of the
conferences which took place at St. Pc
fersburgh, for the same object, between
the Ministers of those Powers. The
note in question, on the important matter
10 which ii relates, have occasioned sew
eral extraordinary meetings of the Dir
van, II appears that there were long
discussions on The subject, and that the
rejection of all mediation was finally de-
termined upon. We shall now see
whether the great Continental Powers
will take any Interior steps. England
was no party TO these negotiations.
CORFU, JULY 6.
Persons, who describe themselves to
have been eyewitness, who left Mis-
soIonghi two days ago, assert that Reds
child Pacha has raised the siege of tina.
place, and retired upon Brachori, in con-
sequence of a sortie of the garrison, by
which be experienced, it is said, very
considerable loss. If we give credence
TO the Greek reports, it will appear that
famine and the continual combats which
he has sustained have put it out of his
power TO undertake any fresh enter
prise. II must certainly be confessed
that the reverses Of the Captain Pacha,
which have hitherto prevented him from
coming 10 the assistance ofthe Seraskier.
must necessarily have great influence
on the operations of the latter.
Many sea captains, arrived from Can
dia, report that the Greeks have again
recently burned or taken twelve ships
belonging 10 the fleet ofthe Captain Pa
cha.

NEW YORK, SEPT b.
The Bclioon.--Mr. Robinson made
his second ascent from Castle Garden
fast evening, to the entire satisfaction OF
thousands who witnessed the interesting
spectacle. Agreeably to public notice
given in all the city papers, and after
the balloon was sufficiently filled with
gas, lady, in the dress of bride. took
her station in the car, and was permitted
by the cord bearers TO ascend as high as
the heads of the audience seated around
the area of the garden. After having
been gracefully conducted round the
garden, giving the spectators an oppor-
tunlty OF being gratified, the balloon was
hauled down, and the lady retired. I'M
mediateiy after, Mr.. Robinson took her
place, but finding that the balloon want
ed more gas, the conductors of the gas
were replaced, and IN FIVE minutes it
was sufficiently charged to carry the in
genious Eronaut upon his voyage. Be-
ing reseated, he took his flight at half
past six o'clock in the most beautiful
style, and was waited before southerly
wind across the North River at great
height, as far as Secaucus, between four
and five miles from Hoboken, New Jer-
sey, where he descended about O'clock.
we are happy to add that MIR. Robin
son met with no accident, and that he
returned to The Garden at O'Clock last
evening.
1t is calculated that there were about
1000 persons in the Garden; and three
times this number on the Battery.
We happened TO be at the Garden
when Mr. Robinson returned After he
had been conducted round the area, a.
midst the huzzas of the audience, we
were literally squeezed into room with
him, where we learned that in his de-
lseeRt he grappled tree on the margin
OF marsh, where he held on until he
was relieved by a person who climbed
up and seized the cord of the balloon.
which was, by this means, safely conduct
ed across the marsh to high ground.
