The Greeks are rising with an energy worthy
Of the glorious days when they procl aimed the
reign OF the Cross. While some ambiti Gus
dissenters have, far from the field of battle,
(where they never show themselves, been in.
triguing with strangers, and demanding mas
ter for their country, Miaoulis and Saktou-
ris are immortalizing the glorious flag which
i. covered with the venerable symbol of our
redemption The 9Th Of this month, eighteen
vessels of war, belonging to the fleet of the
Captain Pacha, were taken, burnt, or thrown
upon the shore Of Etolia, near Missolonghi,
and the remainder Of the enemy's ships have
now taken refuge under the guns of the castles
of Lepanto and 2atfas. Our victorious Helle-
mans are cruising at the top of the promontory
of Araxa, in sight Of the land and sea armies
Of the in6des, who seem struck with terror
Ibrahim Pacha, whose troops have been sue
cessively beaten on the northern side of the
Peloponnesus, and at the assault Of Missolon-
CHI, seems to hive lost his courage, and 10 be
in very uneasy position.
We do not yet know how to explain the en-
barrassment Of the Pacha of the Egyptians
Some days since, it was said that Colocotroni
had made two fruitless attacks upon 1ripolitza
and that this place had since been closely block.
AIDED. The partizans Of the Turks at Zante,
who could not deny these facts, consoled them
selves by saying, that the Egyptian garrison Of
Tripolitza, which was $500 men strong, well
disciplined and provisioned, and had Austrian
and French artillerists, who were enrolled by
Generals Boyer and Llvzon, might hold out all
winter, and that in the Spring it would be re-
lieved by fresh troops from Egypt. They were
living in this hope, when letters from the con-
tinent brought us the information of the Ia
king Of Tripolitza, which happened on the
night Of the 27th-2sth December. Colocotro-
nj reinforced by companies Of Tactitians, ia
ken from Colonel Fabvier's regiment, having
blown up one of the gates of Tripolitza, threw
himself into the place at the head OF 1000
Greeks. The Combat was obstinate. The E.
egyptians and the negroes from Darfour, thrown
into the castle situated on height, were burnt
alive there by order of Coloco,roni, in reta-
liation for the churches they have burnt, the
monks and priests they have martyred, and the
women and children they have dragged into
slavery. Thirty six foreign officers, who esca-
ped the flames, have been spared for time, to
be marched and shown from village to village,
as Infamous apostates, who, forgetting their
tile Of Christians, have enlisted in the service
of the Turks, and shared in all their crimes.
We presume that those among these miserable
beings who survive this species Of eXpiatlon;
will be thrown into the first ship which will
take the charge of transporting them back to
Chrislendom.
POLAND.
Uarsa,o, JAM 24-Our city enjoys an out
ward tranquility, but the silence Of the authorl-
ties. and letters from Russia make well inform
ed neople uneasy. 1t Is said that the son OF
Prince Lapuchin, President Of the Council OF
State is one of the persons arrested at Peters
bureb. and that Prince Obolenski has avowed
himself the author Of the death OF the brave
MiIoradowitch No Pole is implicated, in the
least, in the plot, where SO MANI great Russian
names figure The army Of the South does not
vet appear to have altogether submitted. 1t is
said that several corps have refused to take the
oath to the new Emperor. There is report
that Colonel, who was haranguing his regl-
ment TO induce them to take the oath, was kill
ed with sword, by ma or of the same regi-
ment. a member undoubtedly of the grand con-
spracy This ma or has thrown himself into
the city Of Kew, where he is blockaded. (Ihis
news is perhaps the same as that Of the rebel
lion of Mouravieff This chief wished perhaps
TO take possession of Kew, which has some an
Glen, fortifc but it is known already that
his projects did not succeed Mote 9ffhs French

Corfu, Jan. -(PriUate correspondence. )-lb-
rahim Pacha, after having three times endea-
vored to advance from Patras into three differ
ent parts of the Peloponesus, was beaten on all
sides, and obliged to return into that city. The
loss he has suffered in different engagements
with the Greeks was considerable, and especial
ly near the village of Acrata, where we are as
sured that he lost two thousand men. Seeing
the impossibiIity of succeeding in his projects,
he despatched to Salona body of troops in or
der to take possession of the Isthmus Of Corinth
and omen communications with Cornth, Patras
and Tripolitza, and to come to the assistance
of the last named city, which was in great dan
ger. But the troops Of IbrahIm having been
beaten from Salona, were obliged to reimbark;
they attempted to reach two points called AS
pra.Spitia and Penthe-Litharia; but beaten "a
gain by the Greeks, they returned to Patras.-
Ibrahim, afterward, with body Of troops, went
to Crioneri, and marched towards Missilonghl,
where he made an assault, which had no success,
and returned to Patras.
