buildings, sweeping wharf ana every thing
else in It's way.
The destruction has been estimated at
from half to one million Of dollars, but
il will be impossible 10 say, for some time
vet, any thing what the amount is. There
was fortunately no lives lost, nor have we
heard Of but one serious accident to any
person. Master Ogden broke his leg in
Fastening from the country, to be of SER
vice in the town. Many of the most in
dustrious and active are already employed
in substituting temporary buildings for pre-
sent use, and many more are contempla-
ting the erection of others of a more per-
manent kind ;-the city in all probability,
will be rebuilt in less than two years, and
will of course be better calculated to re-
sist similar visitation. Few if any COM
plants of suffering have been made; but
it may be our peculiar atmosphere prevents
their being heard.
His honor the Mayor, was the most &C
tive on the day of fire and has subsequent
ly taken every precaution against theft or
plumber of such property as had TO be
thrown into the docks, or strewed over the
common. The Cooperation have widned
some of the streets which were formerly
considered to narrow. The amount insur-
ed on the property lost is not known.
BY careful estimate it appears that the
number of front buildings destroyed the
21st amounts to one hundred sixty-nine,
exclusive Of warehouses and other back
tenementS.

It may be supposed, that there was much l!

TIE CREEK SuPPLY SHIP CHAncEL-
LoR. This ship, the public will be gratified
TO learn, has returned from Greece, after
having safely deposited her cargo of pro-
visions, which was the first sent out by the
New York Committee. By her we have
been furnished with u letter from our coun-
tryman, Mr.. Miller, who, it will be remem-
bered, went out in her as supercargo. 1t
is dated at the " Island of Poros, June lst."
With regard 10 the prospects of the
country, Mr.. Miller says -" Greece has SO
often disappointed the expectations OF her
enemies, as well as the wishes OF her
friends since the commencement OF the
present revolution, that those who best
know her, among both these classes, rave
become quite cautious in their predictions
concerning her probable fate"
At the date, the news Of the fall of the
Acropolis had not reached Poros and
hopes were entertained that it would be
aide to hold out. Ibrahim Pacha was
Hdoing 1ittie or nothing in the Morea,"
while Lord Cochrane was watching to
intercept all his supplies Oh their way from
Egypt"
n LARGE supply of European troops. The
following is the conclusion Of Mr.. Miller's
letter 20 shall avail myself of every OPP
portunity of writing to the United States
and am in hopes soon to have it in my pow
er to announce to you, the arrival of Cape
DTstrias as president Of Greece, with some
thousand Of European troops under his
command"
Yours, truly, J. p. MILLER.

MiIler's letter.

left it last year. / then thought, that with,
out foreign assistance, she could not hold
out one year longer: that year, however, Is
passed, and Greece is nearly in the same
state as she was at its commencement.
Thousands of women and children are Nv
ing on grass and snails; two thirds of the
population of the country are in holes and
caves of the earth. like wild beasts of the
forest-many families in this vicinity are
living in the open air, with only an olive
tree to shelter them. Could l have the
means of saving this country, God is my
witness, how soon they should be applied
But, alas she appears to be set up as a
beacon of suffering, for the mighty of the
earth to look upon and wag their heads
Ny hope for her, however, is in that Being
who can make the wrath of man to praise
him, and the remainder of that wrath he
can restrain.

MoRE TROUBLE IN C9LoMRIA. The
brip Athenian arrived last evening from
Carthagena, brings adviees from Bogota
down to August, and letters from Cartha-
gena to the 18Th. The internal troubles-oi
the Republic were increasing again.
letter to the Editor of the Gazette, states
that Bolivar left Carthagena on the 2otn Vi
July, on his way to Bogota, to present nm
self to Congress, and take the oath 1equlr- :.
ed by the Constitution. The bad state OF
affairs in the south ofthe Republic, brought
on by the invasion of Bustamanti's DIVISION,
and the decided appreciation his conduct
has received from the Vice President San
lander, have made it necessary for the Pres
ident to detach strong force under the or
ders of Gen. Salon against it, which force
has marched from this place. Another
strong division has marched from Venezue7
| la, under command of Gen. Paez, and iron
| Maracaibo Gen. Urdaneta marches at the
head of another division, which has al
ready arrived at Ceuta, on his way 70 DO
gotta and the southern departments. The
public indignation is now directed agains
Santander, whom we have been taught t.
believe almost the only genuine republican
left-a man who stood forth feaIlessly Il
the breach between Bolivar and despotisr
; while Bolivar is lauded to the skies. San
lander is now charged with being the IN
stigator of the rebellion of Bustamenti an
his division-with having peculated upo
y the public funds, &c. &c. One letter say
I that since the attempt at the revolution
|, (whose direction has been attributed
c Suntander,) he has lost much good opinio
J even amongst his most stedfast partizan
= 1t may be said that his party has been a
1t teally reduced to few desperate and lie
picable well-kncwn characters. - Coz

IMPORTANT FROM COLOMBIA. By the
brig Athenian, from Carthagena, we have
received from our correspondent Bogota
Constitutional of the 10Th July, from which
we learn that Bolivar has consented to as
sumo the reins of government. In this he
is said to have yielded to the earnest solic-
itations of his friends. The editor speaks
with confidence of the speedy recognition
of the Republic, and The return of her
prospelity.-It appears that Santander also
has offered his resignation, but that on Mon
day evening it was not accepted July 10TH
The Chamber of Representatives passed
the bill for call of the Convention, to con
slider the Federative system, but essential
" altered since it came from the Senate
The Executive, Santander, was reported t.
be very much opposed to it.

Near Pontenovo, in the Island Of Corsica,
lives a shepherdess, who successfully refus-

The former was her suiter while he was
corporal, and the latter while sergeant, in

that she was refusing a Marshal of France
and King of Sweden.

A medical correspondent in Somers,
Conn. informs that he was called upon
on the Goth inst. to visit man belonging to
the north family of Shakers in Enfield, ( con-
sisting of so or 60 PERSONS who was in
great distress, vomiting violently, and sup
posed to be poisoned. 1t appeared that
early in the morning he repaired to the
pump, near the cook-room, for water find
ing its taste disagreeable, he rinsed his cup,
and then drank about pint, although it
still tasted very nauseous. He was immedi-
ately taken sick as above stated. At the
date of this communication, the distressing
symptoms had abated, but he was not con-
sidered out of danger. On examining the
water it was found that arsenic had been
put into it. More than an ounce was obtain
ed from the sediment of few pailfuls of
the water, and it was judged that more
than half pound had been put into the
pump. The author of this diabolical deed
had not been ascertained.
