"SCENES IN THE SENATE"

In addition to the article which we
published on Saturday, concerning Mr..
Randolph's speech on the bankrupt law,
the American announces q letter from
Washington, giving some particulars of
. disgraceful attack made by The crazy
Senator, on Mr.. Benjamin Russell, Of
Boston, who happened to be in the lob.
by Of tho Senate.
"This gentleman, who has been long
the editor Of the Boston Cen.inel, was il

FOREIGN AFFAIRS,

BY the Edward Quesnel, from Ha.
vre, Paris papers to the Cd OF April have
been received at New York but they
contain little or no news of general in
terest, with the exception OF report,
brought by packet ship, from Corfu,
of the total defeat of Ibrahim Pacha un-
der the walls of Missolonghi, on the I'd
of March. Ii this intelligence may be
relied on, the inhabitants, summoned to
surrender, refused to capitulate on any
terms, and resolved to perish under the
walls Of their Notifications, rather than
trust to the mercy of the invader.-Hay.
ing received the Sacrament from their
priests, on the 28th of February, their
enthusiasm was raised TO the highest
pitch; and I5rahim, having attacked
them by sea and land, was, after an OBJ
stinate conflict, finally repulscd on all
sides, with the loss of between four and
five thousand men, and obliged to re-
trea, TO Patras. 1t is added that the
Turkish feet, under the Captain Pacha,
had sailed for Constantinople, and left
the Greeks masters OF the sea and that
| Ibrahim had caused several OF the chiefs
under his command to be bcheaded.--
This account is probably exaggerated /;
but it appears certain tina, Misso!onghi
still hold out at the latest dates; and that
the affairs Of the Greeks wore an aspect
more encouraging than they did some
months since.
Letters from Havana, Of tho 18th oil
April, have been received here, which
state that on that day the John Adams

CALCUTTA, JANUARY.

We this morning received an extra
shipping report, announcing the arrival
OF the Enterprise steam vessel from
Rangoon, l4th inst. bringing the satisfac-
tory intelligence of peace with the Bur-
mese. After the battles of the I'd Sd
and 5lh, Sir Archibald Campbell moved
on to Talagon, 100 miles in advance of
Prone, through country fortified with
the strongest stockades, but which had
been deserted. The enemy bad suffer-
ed extreme loss from the cholera, and
the ground was srewed with the dead,
in graves of twenty to forty. Immedl-
ately on the arrival of Sir A. Campbell
at Tatagon, he was met by the first mi
mister of Zoo,oo, sent expressly from
Ava to sue for peace; and after several
conferences, the boon was granted on
the following conditions: The cesslon
Of Mergui, Tavoy, Zea, and Arravan,
to the British. Ava to receive a Presi-
dent, and al Rangoon, consul, together
with the payment OF one crox OF rupees,
(ten millions. 1.-The preliminary Trea-
ty was granted the ----, and fifteen days
allowed for the ratification to arrive from
Ava.

BY several arrivals at New York,
French and English papers to late date
have been received. The London dates
are to the 10Th Of April, and Paris to the
18th.
The most important intelligence they
contain, is the fall of MIssoLoNeHI, after
a most determined resistance on the part
Of the garrison and people. 1t was rn-
mored at Prevosa, on the 9th of March,
that Miaulis had captured twenty FIVE
Egyptian vessels, richly laden, sent by
the Pacha OF that country to CONSTANT
nople and further, that the Greeks had,
by bold coup de main, made themselves
masters OF seven magazines of provi-
sions and ammunition in ThessaIy and
Olympus.

The news from Greece, though no,

final and complete emancipation from

OF Missolonghi presents lively picture
OF Greek prowess and Of noble devotion

and proud nation will be added to the

Rio for Mon,evideo and Buenos Ayres
on the 18th March, and it was thought
tina, Capt. Elicott would afford protec-
ton to the commercial flag OF his coun-
try in their trade with Buenos Ayres,
should the blockade not be maintained
on admissible principles, and any un-
just measures be pursued by the squad
ron. 1t was reported that the British
Admiral at Monteyideo had signi6ed
his intention OF adopting similar course,
and that the commander OF the Doris
frigate on that station had offered to
convoy English merchant vessels TO
Buenos Ayres; this report, however,
seems to want confirmation. 1t is much
doubted whether sufficient force can be
maintained off that port, to render The
blockade effectual, as small vessels only
can be actively employed, and the Bue-
nos Ayreans are enabled to meet them
to any extent, and to more advantage.
The troops at Rio Grange, by the last
accounts thence, remained in their quar-.
tiers in state OF inactivity. The wea-
Their there was becoming cool, and they
were already incommoded by ii. When
the winter sets in with severity, it is
thought they will suffer very seriously.
The Orientalists were probably waiting
for such an occasion to attack them,
having hitherto shown no disposition TO
do SO. Most of the Imperial troops at
present there, are from the tropical Sec
ton of Brazil, and have never experience
ed cold winter.
