BosroN, Aug. 28.-We have received n file of the
Spectator Oriental to May Goth These papers do not
contain any later intelligence from the Egyptian army
IN 'he "ioea Than we have before received, but they
afford information of events which had not before
come 10 our ledge. There is no very satisfactory
inor'ha'ion oil the nature of the conlagraoD and
Poson at hiodon, on the night of the 18th May. Ii
stated mat Od Navarn being occupied by the troops

vi eir wages; should be permitted carry away their
eucC's' 10 march out with their arms and to go away
IN european vessels. ibrahim consented TO the two

surrounded by strong force well provided. The third
uiVison, consisting of the endorsements from Egypt,
OUT last from Gambia reached NIOdon the I'd May,
IN ee OF hundred and vessels 1t is stated that
the Greek government had released Coocotroni, and
"l ne hau arrived at Napol Oh Romania. Ii is fully
confirmed That Ulysses had deserted the Turks, and
gwen himself up TO the Creeks We shall give some
ur'hcr particulars III another paper.
NEw-YoRK, Aug. 25.-'rhc arriva! Yesterday, from
Snl rna, OF the brig Amercan has furnished ntelli-
gence from that place to the month OF June from Sa-
mos TO the 3d of June, and from S,l TO the 10Th

success OF the Greeks. down 10 The attack and dscon-

force for the scattered Greeks 10 oppose; and we must
CONFESS ta our apprebcnsions for the result of the land
campaign for this season, are not n little increased
he boston Palladium contains the following letter
from an American gentleman at Smy ma, dated June 3.
Our political news from the Murca is very discour-
aging Tor the struggling Greeks. Clouds arc rising

'ef me GLORIOUS victory attained by Admiral Miauis
over the Egyptian squadron Modon, in which 90 or
30 ships OF war and transports were DESTROYED il an

to capulate for want of provisions and they marched
out with baggage and every thing excepting their arms

''IbraIn kept the capuIatiou in every thing except
dctannd the principal officers. | cannot learn who

- / 30 loss OF Navarin long forcsaw rs noted in
my previous letter. This of itself is of no rreat i'm
ortanCc, but the dissentions among the Greeks is nj
far more Importance.
The Matios refuse to march against the enemy,
unless CoHcoroni command them. If this General is
true TO ms country, Greece is still safe: if he is ro
tor, tic new desoae groves of Athens and of SDarta
may become still more desolate for She lost and we
sai see Greece again become tie land of oppression
ana misery and the vengeance Of the Turk will crush
with rcdcublcd horror all those who have had any hand

ing with the Turks, bet Lave 10 combat much with

owe cannot learn if the American TRANSPORT was
burned at Nlodon or not. We have strong hopes sh,.
has BEEN and that the American flag will no longer be
dIsgraced by IFS being in such service.
There has been action OF the GuIph between
the ConsiantInoplc fleet and Greek SQUADRON We
know nothing further than hearing very heavy can
nonade."
1t Will be perceived that we have had inte!!aence
from The Morea somewhat later than this in which if
was mentioned dat Colocotfor was not only in the
held again but that he had gained some ADVANTAGES
over lie !nhdclS. That intelligence, however, vet
wants continuation. The action off the Guiph spokau
oil IN the last paragraph undoubtedly that with the
CaptaIa facha the Greek official account of which we
have already published.
II greyes US exceedingly to find that Americans hare
Shown themselves 50 unprinciped as TO engage their
vessels in assisting the Turks. Such course ay an
sweT for the minons Of the Holy Alliance but for any
American thus TO disgrace himself is too bad.
A smyrna paragraph says
''Ihe Turks held their Barrarn a few DAYS prior To
our sailing, winch is one of their principal loiyavs
and generally lasts three days. A body of Turks had
iaId plan 10 murder tie Governor during this festival
but the plot being discovered, nc immediately ordered
thirty OF the ngleaders TO be stranglcd.
Excepting this, perfect tranquility had and sill CON
llnued to reign IN Smyrna Notwithstanding the daily
accounts the Turks receiving of the defeat Of
Lher arms they appear here perfectly caous TO the
