LATEST FROM GREECE

From III. Boston Daily AdUertiSer, March lS
We have received the Oriental Spectator to
Jan. 6. 1t contains no Intelligence OF any inn
portant event. Missolonghi, the siege Of
which was the only enterprise in which the
Turkish and Egyptian armies were engaged,
had not surrendered. Ibrahim Facha embark
ed for Missoonghi from Patras Dec. IA, with
the troops he had brought with him from Nav
arin and Modon, to aid in The siege. He left
Jussuf Pacha at Patras, who'was about TO pro-
coed to his government Of Magnolia, to which
he was appointed four years ago. He had re-
manned al Patras because his presence was
thought necessary for the defence OF the place.
\ subsequent account, without date, from Mis-
solcnphi, states that Ibrahim had landed there
all his cavalry and part Of his infantry. The
Albanians we're TO attack the place by land and
the Epyptians by sea. The Oriental Spectator
states that in an action between the Turkish
and Grecian fleets in the Gulf Of Lepanto, the
latter had los, polacre belonging to Tombasi.
and that subsequently the fleet had returned 10
HYDRA. The troops of Redschid Pacha before
Missolonghi, independently of those OF lbra-
him, are represented al 10000 men; the Greeks
who defend this placs are said to be short OF
provisions, and the Spectator confidently anti
cipaled its speedy fall
Col Favier was at Athens busily engaged in
forming the Greek troops into regular corps,
and drilling them after the European manner
1t is acknowledged that the Greeks under his
orders learn readily, and perform the exercise
with facility A letter of Nov. IS, states, that
this corps then consisted of 1900 men, and that
the number was increasing every day. SINH
lar corps was formed a, Napoli di Romania -
The Turks had retreated from Sa!one to lei
toun, and the place was occupied by the Greeks.
1t is stated that JussdH Pacha, not knowing
that the Turks had left the place, sailed from
Patras with 100 men, and for some purpose
nroc eeded towards Salone, when he was unex-
pectedly attacked by Gourra, and had sixty OF
his men taken prisoners. He made precipi-
tate retreat, and succeeded in gaining his YES
sells and effecting his retreat to Patras.
A letter from Bagdad, dated Oct. 9Th, relates
the history of one Of those rebellions which are
so common in the Turkish empire. Meemet
Riaya, a Georgian, who had been in the service
of Daut Pach, of Bagdad, and was formerly de
feated in an action with the Perslans, being a.
fraid TO return to his master, put himself in

three nights, spending the most agreeable
time ever spent any where. did not eX-
pect to remain more than day, but could not
get away sooner, Twas particularly fortunate
in the time when all the Generals children
and grand children were assembled together,
preparatory to the observance of some religious
ceremony, to keep in recollection the Heath OF
the Generals wife, and Geo Washington La
fayette's mother-in-law There were about
twenty or thirty persons at table every day, the
greater part of whom were ladies, the two
daughters and the granddaughter Of the gen.
eral, with an extremely interesting young la
DIV, Miss Segur, daughter Of the count, who
wrote the Russian campaign. Ihad large
chamber, with every convenience allotted to
me, in which fire was kept, and where were
books and papers; about 10 O'Clock large bell
in the castle assembled every body in The par
lour, from whence we proceeded TO breakfast;
after breakfast, all OF US, except The General,
took stroll over the grounds, after which 1t
was the usage to retire into the chambers un-
til about 6, when another bell assembled us TO
dinner; in the intermediate time, however,
was mostly with the General, who was showing
me one day, in the library, the immense num-
Der of presents he had received from Americas;
on another, what he calls his farm, which we
would call stables, barn and barn yard, here he
has all of his stock, poultry, sc. brought in the
evening into their respective stables and folds:

f., The following resolution, submitted by Mr..
Benton, ON Tuesday, and adopted by the Sc
nate, almost unanimously, removes the in
junction of secrecy from all proceeding and
documents relative to the Panama Mission.-
Six thousand copies of the documents are or
dered to be printed. The appendices mention
ed in the resolution, are designed, it is said,
by the opposition, 10 show that the President
has been inconsistent in his communications 10
The respective Houses; but we should not be
surprised to find that the real object OF the
comparision is to make a sophistical retreat
from position, which it is found, that the peo-
pie are not disposed to support them in.
Resolved. That the injunction Of secrecy be
removed from the Presidents message OF De-
cember Goth, 1925, relative to the proposed
Assembly of American Nalions at Panama,
* from all Executive communications made, *
documents sent to the Senate in relation there
to. and from all proceedings in the Senate up
on that subject, from which the injunction OF
secrecy has not vet been removed, and that
six thousand copies OF the whole be print
ed. Also, that the mi notion OF secrecy be
removed from all communications relative
thereto, received from the Executive since
the Senate's decision upon the Mission, and
that an equal number thereon be printed as an
appendix to the proceedings had, documents
first sent. Also, that all papers and documents
sent & communications made by the Executive
10 the House of Representatives, and not sent
or made TO the Senate, shall in like manner De
printed in second appendix, Distinguishing
the papers and passages sent to the House and
not to the Senate, and those sent TO the Senate
and not TO the House. Also, that the resolution
of December aSth, shall be transferred to the
Legislative Journal Of the Senate.

FROM COLOMBIA.

The editor of the Boston Daily Advertiser
has been favored with the Caracas Colombia
no of Feb. %, which contains Bogota dates to
Jan. IL. On the 10th of January sundry docu-
ments were laid before the Congress, among
which were those relating to the refusal OF the
government of the United States to ratlfy 6e
treaty for the suppression of the African slave
trade A Senator named Mendez had been ex-
PEELED from the Senate, by ayote OF II to 3, for
violent assault on one of the other members,
in the Senate Chamber. The Liberator, Boil
var left the city of La Paz, Sept. 10, for Potos,
where he was to meet deputation from the
government of Buenos Ayres. The Colombian
division under Gen. Cordoya had moved to Co
chahamba. The Assembly Of Upper Peru had
solicited the Liberator to use his influence to
procure permission for Gen. Sucre to remain
some wears at the head of that Republic.
A law passed at the last session Of our legis-
lature, relating to conveyances, which 1t is I'M
portant the community should be apPrlsed OF.
1t is entitled can Act relating to Mortgages
and other Conveyance" and provides, that the
priority of conveysnces shall commence from
the time they are put upon record, and not from
the period of their execution-As the law be-
fore stood, deed recorded at any time within
six months from rs date, was made TO operate
from the day of Tvs date, and was to be prefer
red to deeds subsequently executed though first
recorded. We believe the act referredt to is 10
90 into effect about the first OF May.

"ResoLred Unanimously, That we withhold
further support from the Wilmington Station.
The reasons which have induced US to recon
mend the adoption OF the resolution, are
That the Rev. Mr.. CoMpERE has meddled with
concerns foreign TO his Mission; he has, unasked
charged the United States Commissioners with
corruption, in making the Treaty he has taken
sides with those who are endeavoring to render It
(though an act of the General Government null
and void he has indicated the murderers of Min
tosh He has violated his agreement made with
this Board, and dsobeyed the instructions given
him he has treated these instructions with indif
ference and contempt; when written to- and eau,
toned by the President Of this Body, 81 that the
course he was pursuing would bring the Mission to
ruin," instead OF returning respectful answer, ne
has endeavored to vindicate his conduct and has
since continued to act SO opposite to the spirit OF
his instructions, and that of cautious Missionary
of the Cross that they compelled, though re
luctanty, to take the present course.

It has become the duty of the Managers OF this

.ided in vain. The brig Vine sailed for Liberia

must soon be made upon their Treasury, the Mana

that may have funds in possession, to remit them
immediately, and all their friends contribute such
aid as their circumstances and means will permit.
Certain events, which could not be predicted, have
augmented, somewhat beyond the expectation of
