UREEKs AND TURKs.-By the last ac-
counts from Europe, it seems that MissoIon.
CHI has, at length, yielded to famine what
force could not extort, and has fallen into the
hands of the Turks. For some time nrev;o,s
to its capture, it had been repeatedly assault
ed, and the assaiants as often reDelled i'm
as the accounts state, the provisions in the
place were exhausted, and all hopes of relief
by the fleet, were given over, whena dcspe-
rate attempt was made, by most of the able
bodied men in the place, to cut their way
through the Turkish camp, and to escape to
the mountains. The destruction which ensu-
ed was immense, the particulars of which will
be found under our mail head. The accounts
of the defeat of the Turks before Missolonpb.
published in our last, prove, as we supposed
they would, to have been exaggerated. They
were repulsed with considerable loss, and Sa-
dick Bey, Pacha of Pleva, one of their dis
tlnsuished chiefs, was killed. Thisprobably
gave rise to the rumor of the death of Ibra-
him Pacha, who, it seems, still lives.
The English papers do not deem the loss of
Missolonghi as at all decisive of the fate of
the Greeks. They have other strong places.
and the interior is mostly in their hands. II
is said also by some, that Russia and England
have agreed to interfere in favor of the Greeks.
The Courier, the English ministerial paper.
does not deny that there are grounds for such
rumors, but thinks that force will not be re-.
sorted to. The negotiations between Russia
and Turkey, relative to the principali,ies of
Moldavia and Wallachia, arc continued. On
the part of the Turks, there is disposition to
delay the evacuation of those provinces. con-
tormable to treaty, as it is said that the ex.
actions levied on them, furnish great part
OF the means of carrying on the war against
the Greeks. Should the wishes of Russia he
much longer disregarded, it is probable that
the Grand seignior may End himself engaged
with an adversary more dangerous than he
has yet had 10 encounter.

In the battle Of the 9Th April, at Mis-
solonghi, while the commanding officers
were distributing their force in such a
way as to render the defence equal on
all sides, the women advanced, bearing
the arms of their relations and wounded
husbands, and announced their arrival by
singing the hymn of the immortal Marco
Botzaris. They immediately sent dep

House of Commons en- the 10Th ult. from
White Roothing, on behalf of the Greeks.
Some remarks were made by Sir Robert VIII
sou, that France was favoring the Turks in
the present contest. Mr.. Hobhouse remark
ed that the Greeks had suffered a great blow
in the fall of Missoionghi; but it was far from
being fatal one, for if they preserved and
resolutely defended Napoli di Romania, they
might defy all the efforts of lbrahim, whose
forces could not be kept togetherlong enough

marked that the conduct of the French Gov

The Trenton Federalisl gives an &C
count Of the death of two men, who
were killed by the falling OF the earth
in an old well, while they were engag-
ed in making new wall. The nara
ton is given by the owner of the well,
who wishes TO caution his fellow citizens
against a similar occurrence. From ap-
pearances, he says, (tor we have no
tradition, we suppose the well TO have
been dug more than century, and TO
have been opened very large at the
surface, and dug down in the shape of
a funnel. We opened il agreeable TO
the present mode of digging, the size
of the wall, not having an idea that il
had been larger, until the appearance
