Cossacks had crossed the Pruth to take some
cattle. The Turks forming the Gordon took

obliged the others to repass the river. The
latter, on returning to their camp, made a
loud complaint OF the death of their comrades,
and demanded vengeance. This event caused
a great sensation among the troops 800 or
900 Cossacks crossed the river, fell on the
Turks, Of whom they killed great number,
and returned contented to their camp, where
the fermentation was allayed by this act Of
vengeance.
Calcutta papers to the Sd October had been

Il was the beginning of February, when

raised his voice and requested TO be

continued, that the holy mans pathetic
discourse had made so lively an impress

tireiy TO change his course of life; and
TO give sincere proof of his contrition,
he would instantly, before all the con-
gregatiou, freely confess his crimes. He
then declared himselfto be an Advocate
by profession, and openly avowed that
he had abused the confidence of bis eli

their interests TO the adverse party; he
acknowledged himself to be a faithless
husband, a bad father, and an migrate ful
son; and having followed this ~ with
an enumeration of various offences he

FROM GREECE.
zANTE, JAN. l2


The Greeks are rising with an ener-
gy worthy Of the glorious days when
they proclaimed the reign of the Cross.
While some ambitious dissenters have,
far from the field of battle, (where they
never show themselves) been Intriguing
with strangers, and demanding a mas
ter for their country, Miaulis and SAX
tours are immortalizing the glorious
flag which is covered with the venera-
BILE symbol Of our redemption. The
9th of this month, eighteen vessels Of
war, belonging to The fleet Of the Cap
tain Pacha, were taken, burnt, or thrown
upon the shore Of Etolia, near Missolon-
CHI, and the remainder of the enemy's
ships have now taken refuge under the
guns of the castles of Lepanto and
Patras. Our victorious HeIlcnians are
cruising at the top Of the promontory of
Araxa, iu sight of the land and sea ar
mics cf the inidels, who seem struck
with terror. Ibrahim Pacha, whose
troops have been successfully beaten
on the northern side of the Peloponne-
sus, and at the assault of Missolonghi,
seems 10 have lost his courage, and 10
be in very uneasy position.
We do not yet know how to explain
the embarrassment of the Pacha of the
Egyptians. Some days since, it was
said that Colocotroni had made two
fruitless attacks upon Tripolitza, and
that this place had since been closely
blockaded. The partizans Of the Turks
in Zante, who could not deny these
facts, consoled themselves by saying,
that the Egyptian garrison Of Tripolil-
"a, which was $500 men strong, well
disciplined and provisioned, and had
Austrian and French artilIerists, who
were enrolled by Generals Boyer and
Livzon. might hold out all winter, and
that in the spring it would be relieved
by fresh troops from Egypt. They
were living in this hope, when letters
from the continent brought US the in.
formation OF the taking of Tripolitza,
which happened on the night of the
27th-28th of December. Colocotro-
nj, reinforced by four companies of Tao
sssians, taken from Col. Fabvier's regi-
meni, 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 Egyptians
and the negroes from Darfour, thrown
into the castle situated on a height,
we're burnt alive there by order of Co
locotroni, in retaliation for the churches
they have burnt, the monks and priests
they have martyred, and the women
and children they have dragged into

of Stephen Buffum, Esq. Of Halland, in

Qulgley, Of Chautaque county, left
Chippewa Creek, upon the Canada side
of niagara river in large open boat,
for this village. The wind was strong,
directly up the river, bu, the current
was increased by freshe;. On being
struck by the stream, they were driven
a little down the river, and the man at
the helm so lost his presence of mind,
that he headed the boat directly for Nj
agara Falls, which are but short dis
lance below. As the boats entered the
Rapids, the three persons jumped out,
and swan for the shore but Wheeler
Bndum only was fortunate enough TO
reach il. The other Two we're seen

A New-Orleans paper states, that by the
last accounts from Campeachy, about 5000
Mexican troops had assembled at Yucatan,

Of invading Cuba. 1t is believed that the

procured to man the ships of war at Cartha-

A few days sail will enable the fleet to APP
