fFrom the Eoston Daily Advertiser

Latest from Grcecc.-Wc have received
Paris papers to hDril co. The Journal Dcs
Debats contains three letters addressed to
Mr.. Delessert, member Of the Greek
Committee at Paris, which confirm the oDin-
ion we have already expressed, that the re-
ports Of the capture Of Missolonghi, as well
rs those of the raising Of the siege and of the
death of ihrahim, were, at the date of their
PRONUNCIATION, unfounded. What NAV have
happened since, remains to be shown. The
reported capture of Missolonphi was said to
have taken place on the Goth of March.
The rcpulsc Of Ibrahim, in which he was
mortaly wounded, was said, in other ac-
co,,nts to have taken place March ~. The
letters which gave the account of the death
Of Ibrahim, and of the raising of the siere
we're said to be dated at Iantc, March 30. 3,
at Corfu, April d, 5. 6. and z. The letters
now published by Mr. Delesscrt as"con-
tanning authentic news. and from source
which is certain in Greece" are dated a,
Corfu, April Q, and at Iante. which is but 40
miles from Missolonghi on the 4th and al
of April.--The letter from Zante of An,;l
4, says" Your orders are executed. and
every day | succeed in throwing provis-
ions into Missolonghi. There are many dif-
ficulties, but the zeal of our seamen knowe
how to surmount them. All our news is ia
vourabc." The letter from the same place
dated April 6, and probably the latest new,
from the seat of action, says--..s Up to the
present time, every thing is in favour Of the
besieged; Ibrahim attacks every dav with
perseverance, and every day he is beaten
His loss must be more than 1000 men. His
camp has been burnt, and his troops are dis.

extraordinary Size, and the neck short and
thick. lie was about feet four inches il
height. and was 33 inches round the body,
81 inches round the head, and t3 inches from
the chin to the crown. From the heel 10
the knee Joint, he measured 15 inches, 10
from the knee-joint to the hip bone, and
inches and quarter round the wrist. He
WAS double -jonted throughout, and possess
ed considerable strength, particularly in the
hand; he slept on the floor, and dressed
| and undressed himself without assistance,
The machine upon which he travelled about
the town cost him, wheels and all, three
shillings, and generally lasted him about
three years but he found it necessary to
have pair of crutches every six months.
The day after the inquest sat on the body
it was conveyed TO ST. Savour's burial

plain. That first of rules in morals and religion was
his rule-he did to others, as he would they should do
to him. His health always delicate, and other ills
he had; all borne with equanimtv. Though pressed
with difficulties his course was taken with that high
moral bearing, that he nothing did for which friend
could bush-at which a foe could sheer. The wink,
the nod the shrug, the disrustul look of coward
calumny. could reach him. He was gene rous in every
sense prompt to right wrong whenever offered, and
yet his care wasnever to offend The shade of his for
tune rather cold for many friends, but he had
ardent ones He left wife and children, an extensive
and aectionate kindred, aged parents too-panful re-

last abode, but unquestioned word is gxen-that the
