has been expended.
The Sun, of the evening Of July 31st,
contains the proclamation mentioned in
the French papers received Yesterday, of
the Provisional Government of Greece a.
galnst piracy. 1t declares, among other
things, that no Greek vessel, except those
which form part ofthe Greek fleet, has a
right to carry flag of war, or to cruize in
| the Greek season adjoining waters. After
the publication of the proclamation, all
vessels will be considered piratical, which,
not belonging to the feet, shall cruize as
privateers- those vessels which, though
belonging to the feet, have not regular let
tiers of marque-and small privateering
vessels, which go under the name of mis-
! tics, &c.
Paris, July 80.
Rear-Admiral de Rigny, commander of
his Majesty's Forces in the Levant, has
| addressed letter, dated Milo, June 10Th,
to the Minister Of the Marine, giving an
| account ofhis operations against the Greek
pirates. The letter states that having as
certained that the Isle Of Egina was the
central point of piracy, he (the Admiral)
went thither with two frigates and a schoon-
er, and destroyed or captured IA piratical
vessels. and burnt several others which
were yet upon the stocks. The inhabit-
ants of E gina afforded the French all the
assistance in their power. 1t is a remar-
kable circumstance that the Admiral found
the brave Canaris among the pirates, in
great danger, having gone there to employ
his utmost efforts to put an end to their
excuses. M. de Rigny hopes that SINH
lar course being observed by the English
forces, and promise from the Greek
Government, that in future, no lcttres de
,parque shall be delivred, that piracy in
the Levant will be greatly diminished.
VENICE, July 10.
Extract of private Lottery The gen.
erosity of the people of Europe, in BE-
half of the Greeks, has already produced
it's effect in that country, overpowered by
the intrigues of the Austrian Cabinets,
and by the finance which has weakened
tho combatants. Ibrahim, in his different
marches through the Pelopenesus, during
| the last year, purposely destroyed all the
produce of the country; and the Greek
warriors, when provisions failed, could not
leave their families without exposing to
imminent danger those dear pledges for
which they had taken up arms. Now that
the fortresses are provisioned, the Gov
eminent furnishes victuals to those who
join the army, and at the same time pro-
vides for their families during their absence.
In consequence of this, the forces of the
Peloponesus are concentrating themselves
for another campaign. The Captain of a
vessel, who left the coast Of Cerigo about
the end of June, assures US, that six bat
ties have been fought between lbrahim's
l troops and the Greeks, on the mountains
of Arcadia, in all of which the enemy re-
tired with loss. Ibrahim has not more
than 1000 troops of every description
Colocotroni, who aims at something more
than the freedom of his country, will do
all he can to chase the enemy from the
| Peloponesus. Nicetas is tho only General
whose only object is the liberty of Greece
A part of tho Greek fleet is gone towards
the coast of Asia Minor, in the neighbour
hood of Smyrna. 1t is said that the Pa
cha of that city had collected some thou
sands of Asiatics, for the purpose of trans
porting them to the island of Samos.-
Lord Coehrane, who is expected with
much impotence, had not arrived by the
end of June. The news of his departure
for Greece has given new life to the Greek
Navy.
Since the arrival of the Turkish fleet in
the Dardanelles, frigate struck on rock
and became leaky. The Captain, an Ital-
ian by birth, thinking the damage irrepar-
able, and fearing for his life, deserted the
vessel, and made his escape into the coun-
try. He was pursued, arrested in village
of Asia Minor, and brought before the
Pacha, who, on seeing that the prisoner
was an inidel Frank. ordered him imme-
diately to be hung up at the yard-arm.
PoRTUGAL.-Great Joy was testified at
Lisbon on the arrival of their CHARTER
The Army joined in the enthusiasm, and
echoed the shouts of the people. Free
quent Cabinet Councils held at Paris, are
ascribed to the effect of this new impor-
tation of American produce, aud the eff
feet it may have on the state of things in
Spain. By this Constitution, the right of
