From the Boston Repertory, Jan. 1o.]

From the Boston Reprtory, jan TO-
We have been favored with the ORR
entail Spectator, of Oct. 8. 1t does not
contain much news, though it furnish
es several articles which serve to assist
our judgment of the authenticity of
some of our former accounts. An arti-
c..e from Tehesme states that the Tur-
kish squadron of eighty sail, was at
anchor before that port, Sept. 81, in
Guiding the ship of the captain pacha,
and that of Ismael Gibraltar, on board
which was also the son of the viceroy of
Egypt. The squadron sailed OH the
2sth, and was Immediately pursued by
forty Greek ships. 1t contains &C
counts from the Morea, in which it is
stated that Colocotroni was received
into favor, and had been put in COM
mand of 10000 men, for undertaking
the siege Of Patras. The Turks had
retreated from Attica to Negropont.-
Gourra was waiting at Athens for a
supply of money previous to entering
on an expedition. Dervish Pacha, it is
stated, was appointed Seraskier, and
had augmented his force to 10000 men
but was waiting for the cooperation of
the Egyptian army. The following
account is given of the affair before
Stanchio. 1t will be perceived that
the tone of this paperis greatly chang
ed from that of the Smyrnean.
4iteiin, Oct. Am Egyptian frigate
gave chase to Admiral Maui, and
would infallibly have taken him, if by
an unforeseen accident, the Egyptian
had not struck a sand bank. The
Greeks, then, wishing to profit by this
accident, sent toward the frigate two
fireships, one of which succeeded in
graphing it, and while the fire was
kindling, a number Of the insurgent
vessels drew near to stop the fire and
take possession of the ship. With
this design, the Greeks Immediately
boarded, but the Turkish commander,
man of great bravery, thought it his
duty to repair his misfortune by setting
fire to the powder and blowing up,
with himself, all the Greeks who had
hoped to take possession of the frigate.
Not soul was saved. The Greeks
sent seven fire ships in succession to-
wards Gibraltar's vessel; the latter sue
ceeded in avoiding them, and displayed
thereby as much skill as bravery.-All
these fire ships were destroyed without
having any effect, but finally, one sent
more successfully, was attached to a
corvette. The commander Of the lat
ter sprung like lightning into the fire
ship,succeeded in detaching it,returned
to his own corvette, and preserved it,
by cutting away at the instant, a mast
which had taken fire.
The Captain Pacha has rewarded
this noble action by caftan. The
combined Ottoman squadron succeed
ed by pressing sail, in reaching the
Greeks, who lost many vessels, burnt
and sunk; several others saved them
selves though much damaged.

GENERAL ROBERT eooDLoE HARPER

GENERAL ROBERT GooDLoE HARPER
Departed this life suddenly on Friday
morning last. About nine o'clock, after eat
ing breakfast as usual with his family in appar-
emily good health and spirits--he was standing
before the fire reading a newspaper, when
the hand of death suddenly deprived him OF
sensation, he fell back on the floor and sxpir-
ed without uttcring aword.
For more than two weeks past Gen. HARPER
had been actively and anxiously engaged in
the trial of an important cause in the Circuit
Court of the United States for this District,
now in session here-on Thursday at about 2
o'clock he concluded speech to the jury,
commenced the preceding day, which for elo-
ouence and powerful argument was consider
ed to hove equalled any that he had ever de-
ivered-Although he did not appear to be Ia
tigued by his exertions, and was in excellent
spirits during the evening-itis too probable
that like the great PIsKNEr he fell sacrlhce
to his professional duty.
Gen. HARPER was sixty years of age. He
was too well known and too highly esteemed
by all who knew him, to require any euie6y
Of his character, talents and worth:

tizen Of Baltimore, and one Of the brightest

proces.ion Of the civil and military, notwith-
standing the inclement state Of the weather,

"Since the LIST of January last, lo6
American vessels have arriyed-more
than all the vessels of other nations
together. $4,000 barrles -four have ar
rived from the United States the pre-
sent year, and we have now in store
5000 barrels. The last vessels that
have arrived here have done badly, not
more than so was offered for flour
last week. The harvest looked we'll
till within few days, when suddenly
such swarms of locusts visited US,
that it is probable the wheat will be
entirely destroyed. The government
of this province goes on very well, and
it is thought it has now formed a bull
wark against which the spirit OF anar-
civ and revolution may strive in vain.

We learn from gentlemen who were
in Washington yesterday, that the APP
preparation for the Cumberland Road
being called up, Mr.. CLAY, agreeably
to previous notice, addressed the COM
mittee of the whole House, in strain
of eloquence and demonstrative reason
ing, far excelling any thing that they
had ever heard from him. He occu-
pied the floor till late hour; when
the question being put, was decided
in the affirmative-ayes Sc, noes IS.
or We congratulate our fellow citizens on
the increasing prospects ofunmasking the un.
natural and black-hearted fiend, who has aimed
his envcnomed darts at the reputation and
prosperity Of the town.
Many of his letters to persons at a distance
have been returned; and circumstances stron-
ger and stronger are hourly developing them
selves.
We repeat our conviction that he is h'iotUa,
and will have this horrid crime branded upon
his forehead. Justice requires US to say
that an old and venerable inhabitant who
has had some dealings with the supected man,
stands in the eyes of his fellow-citizens, unim-
peached and highly respected.

POETRY.


From the Dumfries and Galloway Courier.
ON THE VISIT OF GENERAL LAFAY-
ET'rE TO AMERICA.
See Freedoms champion, full of years.
The pride of the Freeman's story,
Again across the Atlantic steers
To the land of his former glory,
The Old Worlds nigh, he leaves behind,
The morn of the New is before him
And the ocean is cain, and the winds are
kind,
And the heavens shine mildly DER him.
Aud see on the shores of Freedoms land
A Nation is fondy strayng,
And asking each biIlow that breaks on its
strand
why their Guest" so long is delaying.
lie comes he lands and thousand arms
Are stretched at once to enfold him;
And Liberty clasps him in all her charms,
Rejoicing again TO behold him.
Sublime from her throne in the World of the
West,
She extends him the sceptre he gave her,
While the millions around her cry " Hail." to
their " Cue ST.
The Hero who conquered to save her.
Oh! who would not envy the godlike pride
And triumph his soul is feeling,
While the Sons of those Sires who fought by
his side
Their gratitude thus are revealing
Those srcs now sleep in the arms Of their
Fame
Where soon he shall hasten to find them;
But their spirits still hear and approve the &C
Which he yet is enjoying behind them.
But who is he, with locks SO white,
Who comes, by SO many surrounded
lis the Father" who first in Americas right
The triumph of Liberty sounded
With flial awe the crowds attend,
And weep while his tears are flowing
While he clings round the neck of his ancient
friend,
And seems to his bosom growing.
Now, Lafayette! the hour is come.
The proudest that ever passed DER thee,
When thou shar'st Of true glory mghtier
Than all who have gone before thee.
And, glowing for ever in Fame's bright sky,
Shall the triumph thou now art reaping
BE the pole-star of hope to the Patriots eye,
When thou art with Washington sleeping,
