The animosity between the Greeks and
| the Austrians manifests itself more and
more. According to the latest news from
Trieste, an unfortunate affair occurred be-
tween tie Austrian corvette La Caroline,
and small Greek vessel of war in the port
Of Valona. La Caroline, according to the
Austrian account, discharged gun, load
ed with blank cartridge, for the purpose of
compelling the Greekvessel to lower her
flag. The latter, however, in place of ly-
ing to, answered the summons by dis
charge Of grape and ball, which killed two
and wounded four ofthe crew ofthe Caro-
line. The captain ofthe latter, in conse-
quence, brought his fall broadside to bear
upon the Greek vessel, and sunk her. On
ly 40 Of her crew were saved. Forty more
were sunk with the vessel, among which
was Senator.
This event must naturally eXasperate
both nations and ifwith this we connect
the building of frigete Of sixty guns, now
going on in the arsenal of Venice, for the
Pacha Of Egypt, the materials ofwhich are
furnished from The imperial magazines, it
must appear quite evident that Austria is
ready to throw off the mask, and to co-ope-
rate in the massacre of the unfortunate
Greeks by the sabres of the ferocious Mus
sulmen.

NAVAL. One of the new Shops of war
authorized by Congress, and built at the
Navy Yard, Charlestown, was launched on
Saturday, 18th inst. at about half past one
o'clock, with complete success. She is Q
beautiful ship upon the French model, OF
about 6OOtons. She has an elliptical stern
upon the plan of Mr.. 'Seppings-she is
coppered over sheatbing of felt, and her
beams are placed so close together that they
are tightly caulked both inside and out,
These three circumstances render the ves-
sci peculiar in her construction. She will
probably be called either the Lexington or
Concord; but her name has not been decid-
cd upon by the Navy Commissioners.
