I'd July, a Turkish spy, who had been IN
the Greek service five months, alfred
10 European costume, had been detect
ed; and after being put to the torture,
was burnt alive. He had made enlist
menls as Philhellian, and one of his
projects was to spike the cannon of Ma
poll, Oh the approach Of I5rabiD Pacha
Recruits raised in the islands had ar
rived in the Morea; the Islanders having
doubts of the fidelity of the Moreotes.
Il was said ibrahim had burnt and ra-
vaged all the country round Argos.
TINE, JULY.
The Greek government is said 10 have
received an cypress from Missolonghi,
announcing that the garrison must soon
surrender, it relief be not promptly al
ded.-The Arabs Ibrahim's forces
have invaded Arcadia, and destroyed
every thing with fire and sword.
From SwABrA.-(No date.) On the
appearance OF the Turkish feet from
Cane,ia, IN the Gulf Of Patras, the Greek
squadrons Immediately Quilted their sta
tons to re-unite with the other squadrons
cruizing off the southern shores of the
Morea. Soon after the arrival of the
Captain Pacha, be had a conference will,
Jussuf Pacha and Redschid Pacha, on
the subject of the new operations agains,
the Greeks. Redschid was ordered TO
re-enter Etolia, and again 10 besesc
Missolonghi.
Greek news is scarce. There is a
report that Colocotroni has thrashed
Ibrahim Pacha, near Napoli, and has
wounded him; and that Petro Bey, with
5000, has beaten 5000 Arabs that were
landed from Gambia. A conspiracy has
been discovered at Napoli, and The au-
,hors have been shot. have grea,
hopes that all will turn out we'll.
FRANKFORT, AUG. 90. =
Letters from Conslan,inople to the
25th ult, represent Of course, the affairs
OF the Greeks 10 be desperate.
II is stated that the battle Of the 5th
July terminated in favor of Ibrahim, and
that Missolonghi surrcnded on the l7,h.
Reports OF the capture Of Ibrahim con.
tinue to be asserted by merchan, cap
ltains, but they still need confirmation.

From the Boston Centinel.
FROM EUROPE.

II will be seen by the extracts we have
msde from them, that many OF those
which relate to Greek and Turkish at
fairs are repilions oil accounts before re-
ceived.
An article from the Turkish capital,
otJuly 25lh, admitted, that the Egyp-
ian Pacha has beeen defeated by The
Greeks with foreign assistance) before
Napoli, aud that he had been compelled
10 retreat to TripoIitza; but, it adds, ,ha
be had been reinforced by the troops
from Gambia; and would probably re-
sumo offensive operations. A German
paper mentions the surrender oil Mlsso
longhi, on the l7th July; and Greek
article from Tino, states that the Greek
government had received advices by ex
press, that unless succored it mus, soon
fall. The reports OF the capture OF lbra.
him were repeated, but none on official
authority. The Turks comple4ned
loudly of the aid given to the Greeks BY
The French and British officers; bur they
appeared 10 remember to forget" now
much assistance they themselves receiv-
ed in supplies furnished in neutral YES
sells.
One of the Paris Ministerial papers,
asserted, that the prospect OF continued
peace was never more Hall OF promise
than at the last dates.

are the watcry deserts which he traver-
ses, that a solitary snd fertile land be-
comes to him an object OF interest.
Al night he slumhers in narrow
hammock, from which, IN The midst OF
dreams of home, he is often reused by
the sound OF danger -Eushing on deck,
he finds lhe vessel driven before the blast,
or laid down upon her side by sudden
gale; the remainder OF the night is spent
amidst cold and wet, and darkness and
storms.
Even the morning light is hardly well
come, since il serves only 10 discover a
turbulent and boandless ocean, IN which
he may, posslbiy,ere long be overwhtlm-
ed, and leave no sad memorial 10 tell his
fate.
Yet how Pheasant is the life OF sail
or! Forever rowing about, he enjoys
without care that variety which the cpl
curian So sedulously and often so valnIy
seeks, as alone capable of giving zes,
10 the pleasure OF existence. The fruits
and produ ctions, the manners OF distant
climates, become as familiar as those OF
his own country. He sees nature under
every aspect: and the widely varying
race of mankind, the Chinese and the
Negro, the Indian and the Malay, are
brothers with whom he has often con-
versed. |, is the duty and pride of a
sailor to Struggle with the tempest,
which inures his mind and body TO IA
tigue and danger; but storms do not al
ways darken the lace Of heaven; at in
tervals favorable breezes bear him
smoothly along. He sees the sun rise
from the eastern waves in all his glory,
and disappear in the evening as in sea
OF FIRE. He contemplates with pleasure
the tropical clouds, he rich and splendid
colors Of which bid defiance 10 the arr
OF the painter, and awaken 10 admiration
even the rudest mind. He alone, with
his level horizon, can contemplate, IN
all its magnifcencc, the alright cano-
Ply OF Heaven, or the moon reflected on
every side from thousand broken waves.
Who, then, would not undergo few
hardshps and prvalions, 10 arrive at the
enjoyment of objects SO Sublime Iaw
pleasant is the life of sailor!
