Information had been received at Smyrna by
MIR. Washington, in the Greek service, that a
Greek Fortress, which commands Nlissolonghi
had been taken by Ibrahim Pacha, the garrison
OF which fled into Missolonghi, and as the
Greeks in the latter place had only fifteen days
provisions, it was expected the place would soon
fall into the hands OF the enemies. A Greek
fleet was fitting out at NapoIl, with provisions
and munitions of war for their relief. The
Greek cause was not considered hopeless as they
began to be more united for the common cause
of their country, seeing themselves abandoned

Smyrna by recent arrivals that preparations
were making at Alexandria and Constantinope

American affairs and Of the relation in which
we stand towards that country.

We meet with curious article in the Fay
etteville IN. c. Journal Of the 9TH inst. which
is not only novel with respect to the informa.
ton it imports, but mysterious in its insinua-
tons. The editor says, awe hear, from seve-
raj quarters, that the President of the United
States has it in contemplation 10 visit this State
in the course Of the Summer. 1t is not difficult
to conjecture the object Of his visit, but be it what
it may, it is to be hoped that he will, every
where, be received and treated with that mark.
ed respect and attention, which are due TO his
high official station"
This is certainly news in this section of the
country, but we do no, pretend on thai account
to say, that the President has no intention OF
visiting North Carolina. Since, however, there
seems to be so little "difaculty in conjecturing
the object of his VISIT it would have been
kind in the editor to let US into the secret
Perhaps he may in his next number.
The Philadelphia Gazette says that the tolls
collected by the Schuylkil Navigation ComPa-
nv, have amounted to as much as 1000 dollars
in one month, during the present season.
We mentioned some days back that men,
Der of the Massachusetts House OF Represen-
ta,ives had proposed to enquire into the expe-
diency of providing by law, that the selectmen
of towns be directed to deliver to surgeons, for
dissection, the bodies Of persons who continue
to the time of their decease subjects Of intem-
perance. We are glad TO find that when the
question was taken on the proposition, the
mover proved to be the only advocate Of the
measure.

killed, and three others were severely wounded.
