ZANTE, January 10.


are rising with an energy worthy of the glo-
rious DAYS when they proclaimed the reign
of the Cross. While some ambitious dis
senters have, far from the field Of battle,
(where they never show themsclves,) been
Intriguing with strang IS, and demanding a
master for their country. Mlaoulis and
Saktou,is, are immoralizing the glorious flag
which is covered with the venerable sym
Dol of our redemption, The Sth OF this
month, eighteen vessels of war, belonging to
the feet of the Captain Pacha, were taken
burnt, or thrown upon the shore OF Etolia,
near Missolonghi, and the remainder OF the
ecemy's ships have now taken refuge under
the guns of the castles of Lepant and Patras.
Our victorious Hellenlns are cruizlng at the
top Of the promontory of Araxa, in sight of
the land and sea armies OF the infidels, who
seem struck with terror. lbrahim Pacha,
whose troops have been successfully beaten
on the northern side of the Peloponnessus,
and at the assault Of Missolonghi, seems to
have lost his courage, and to be IN very un-
easy position.
We do not yet know how to explain the
embarrassment of the Pacha of the Egyp-
tians-Somc days since, it is said that CO.
loctroni had made two fruitless attacks upon
Tripolitza, and that this place had since
been closely blockaded. The partisans ct
the Turks in Zante. who could not deny
these facts, consoled themselves by saying,
that the Egyptian garrison CT Tripolitza,
which was $500 men strong, well dlsciplin-
ed and provisoned, and had Austrian and
French Artilleries, who were enrolled by
Generals Boyer and Livzon, might hold ont
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 information OF
the taking of Tripolitza, which happened on
the night of the 27th--28th of December.
Colocotroni, reinforced by four companies OF
7actitians, taken from Col. Fabvier's regi-
ment, 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 Darfonr, thrown into the castle situat-
ed.on height, were burnt alive there by
order of Colocotroni, in retaliation for the
churches they have burnt, the monks and
priests they have martyred, and the women
and children they have dragged into slavery.
Thirty six foreign officers, who escaped
the flames, have been spared for time, to
be marched and shown from village to viii
lage, as Infamous apostates, who, forgetting
their title of Christians, have enlisted in the
service of the Turks, and shared in all their
crimes. We presume that those among
these miserable bein~s who survive this
species of eXpation, will be thrown into the
first ship which will take the charge Of
transporting them batk to Christendom.
POLAND, WARSAW, Jan. "a.
Our city enjoys an outward tranquility, but
the silence of the authorities, and letters from
Russia, make well informed people uneasy. /,
is said that the son of Prince Lapuchn. Pres
dent of the Council of state, is one of the per
sons arrested at Petcrsburgh, and that prince OBJ
olenski has avowed himself the author of the
death of the brave Miloradowtch. No Pole is
implicated, in the least, in this plot, where SC
many great Russian names figure. The army
Of the south does not yet appear to have alto
gctlcr submitted It is said that several corps
refused to take the oath to the new Emperor. -
There is report that colonel, who was har
angrling his regiment to induce them to take the
oath, was killed with a sword, by major of the
same regiment, a member undoubtedly of the
grand conspiracy. This ma ior has thrown him
selfinto the city of Kew, where he is blockaded
(rhs news is pt maps the same as that of the
rebellion of Mouravief. This chief wished per
haps to take possession of Kew, which has some
ancient Notifications; but it is known alread,
that his projects did not succeed,)
