Greek COMMITTEE in Paris from their
gent, Gen. Roche, dated at Napoli di
Ronania, as la;e as the 28th June, which
give details oil the progress oil The E.
egyptian troops under lBRAHIM PAcHA,

add, that on June 25th, IBRAHIM PAcHA
appeared before NoHoH al Romanla,
and attacked, early the next morning, the
outworks, called the Mills, which were
defended by Prince YrsIIANrI, and a
small body of Greeks, aided by the pre-
sence of General ROCHE. The Egyp.
tian force was about 1000; but IN spite
of the inequality of numbers, the post
was brayely maintained by the Greeks,
and after resolute resistance, they sue

gust, announced the receipt there Of
news oil The above defeat, and further,
that Ibrahim had been wounded, taken
prisoner, and sent to Napoli.
Such are the last adyices; but the
British, even those friendly to the Greeks,
express some doubt oil their authenticity /;
and that former accounts equally as po-
stiye had been found to be incorrect.
For ourselves, we think them highly
probable; and that simulated by bis
early successes, the rash Egyptian chief,
like Burgoyne, advanced incautious be-
yond his points Of support; found his
communication cut of, and his wary enc
my collecting around him, and then made
desperate attack on the capital, which
having failed he was compelled to retire,
and eventually to save his army from to-
tai deslruClion, 10 capilnlate or surren-
der.
The same accounts add, that the Egyp-
tian feet had succeeded in landing 5000
troops to reinforce the garrison at Nava-
rlno.
1t ought TO be remarked that the above
accounts efiectualIy contradict those
previously received of the destruction oil
the Egyptian feet before the arrival al
TrippoIizza.
The Paris Etoile, in a letter from
Zanle, gives the following as the oath Of
Colocoroni and his companions in the
Metropolitan Church OF Napoli di Ro-
mania, in the presence Of the people, and
the members of the government:
ave swear before God and men to
contribute, by all the neans in our pow
er, to the independence Of the Greek
nation, or to die free, sword 10 hand, sub
hitting ourselves faithfully to the laws
of our country, as established by two
legislative assemblies of 1922 and 1928.
ave NOT only swearnot to raise our arms
10 rebellion against the government, or 10
conspre by private means and secret
Vaccinations, but to submit to the
orders OF our government, and to exc
cute them Faithfully.
"May we be deprived of the brilliant
light OF Heay ven may the maledlction oil
the fathers OF the Church weigh heavily
upon our heads, and may all the nations
which VIC call upon as witnesses, crush
us with their present and future contempt,
il we betray these solemn PROMISES"

lished in this paper, it will appear thai
the French. have taken possession OF
Cuba. A gentleman of this city has Just
received letters from Newt Orleans, stat
ing that Cuba had been coded by Spain
to the French, who had taken actual
possession. We presume that this news
must be true, coming as it does from
Two separate sources, and being the very
thing that has been long anticipated and
foretold. Spain, too weak to protect
that island against the patriots of South
America and Mexico, and against the
revolutionary spirit prevailing in it, has
coded it to France; either for safe keep
ing, or, perpstuaIly, for some stipulated
equivalent. In either case, there is

and he did hear me-, with such exquisite taste and
pathos, that she enranced every nearer. To our
infinite qualification she repeated 1t half doze1
times and every time more beautifully and impe ss-
lively than before; person observing that there
was yloloncello in the room, requested that she
would permit the late Mr.. Paxton, who was present,
to accompany her; this done ii was 6ne, very
fine, but the charm was lost This little oircum
stance, says Butler, may be thought to strengthens
Rousseaus hypothesis, that harmony is unnatural,
and rather weakens, than increases the effect Of
simple melody" Mara was particularly distn-
gulshed by the manner in which she sung, g know

dawn OF hope--as she proceeded, it frightened aud

There is nothing can equal The tender hours,
When life is first in bloom;
When the heart, like bee, in a wild of flowers
Finds every where perfume;
When the present is all and it questions not,
If those flowers shall pass away,
But, pleas'd with IFS own delightful lot,
Dreams never Of decay.
0 it dreams not the hue that freshly CLOVIS
On the cheek, shall ever fee,
Aud fade away like the summer rose,
Or the crimson on the sea,
When far in the west the setting sun
Goes down in the kindled main,
And the colours vanish one by one,
But ne'er revive again.
o! life in its spring-time dances on
In smiles and innocent tears;
1t CASTS not look 10 the moments gone,
But halls The coming years;
They shine before its fancy's eye,
Like eastern visions, bright,
Gay as the hues IN the western sky,
Al the coming on Of night.
Thus happy in all their bosoms feel,
And in all their fancy dreams,
Their quiet moments onward steal,
Like the silent Aow o, streams,
Gliding shrough tufted flowers, away
To the far and unknown sea;
So on, with flight that cannot stay,
Their days OF innocence flee.
But soon--too soon, their hearts shall know,
The future was falsely bright,
And its gay, and far-deluded glow.
Shall change to the gloom of night;
o! then with fond and lingering eye,
They shall turn to the early hours,
When life, as their moments hurried by,
Was wild of sweets and flowers.
