IL, NOT most heartily hate each other; and yet
,hsy never meet without kissing one another.
You will readily suppose that these are Judas
kisses. One would suppose that the common
cause would unite them, but it appears to be
quite the reverse. If you speak 20 any OF the
Chiefs about the state Of their country, they
are sure to impuie all their iil-success to the
want OF union, forgetting that, at the very mo-
ment they ure complaining Of the want Of ii in
others, they are condemning themselves; for
there is not one Of them who does not secretly
foment these civil broils. However, TO return
10 our su5ject-many Of the Primates and
Chiefs refuse TO meet at Egina, and wish the
Assembly 10 meet at Napoli. The members OF
the Provisional Government are, however, at
Esina AS soon as they heard Of the arrival
of he frigate, they sent Miaulis overland TO
take command of her, and bring her 10 hgina.
They were afraid to leave her at Napoll, the
Spezziots having threatened 10 take possession
Of her for their own Admiral. Moreover, a
mutiny had broken out among the American
seamen; they had threatened, on their way from
Malta to Napoli, u murder the captain and
first lieutenant, and then 10 steer for the nearest
Turkish port have since seen the first lieu
tenant. Ia appeared from his statement that
eight of the crew had refused 10 do any work;
Of course, there was no such thing as law on
board such a.shp The Captain could no, Hog
them, but he stopped their grog-lhis produced
a great deal Of murnuring, and, being joined
by most Of the crew, q mulinysensued; fortu-
rstely, however, they Costented themselves with
taking possession OF what they wanted. The
Captain did not after this possess any authority
over them The ship arrived on the 10th inst
at Egina, with The American officers and crew
on board, under the command Of Admiral Mi
aulis. The mutinous Americans were sent on
board Greek man-of-war brig, and sent 10
SYRIA, whence they will have no difhc ulty in re-
turning 10 their own country. Captain Hamil
ton, who was at 4Egina when the frigate arriv
ed, was induced, by the particular request OF
the Greek Government, TO take the American
officers on board the Cambran, TO wait for a
passage to Smyrna AS soon as l heard OF her
arrival at Egina, went there to see her She

RIO, men-of war briggs actually left SPezzia a
bout fortnight ago, against the orders OF their
Admiral, tor the sole purpose OF piraung.-
hr danger from pirates in the LeNant Is daily
becoming greater. A few days back two large
briggs attacked his Malesty's ship the Zebra, IN
the 0oro passage. Ii was in the night, and no
doubt they had taken her for merchantmen.
Captain Williams suffered them TO approa" h
pretty close, when he fired his whole broadside
into one of them; they Immediately sheered OH,
and Captain w. made all sail in chase OF them,
but owing to the darkness Of the night, he was
unable TO overtake them. Only two days ago
the pirates attacked an Austrian man-of-" az
bril-, in midday, boarded her, aud took her; they
took 5000 dollars, quantity of provisions and
pur>sr's stores, together with every sail they
could find. After this they spiked all her guns,
took all her ammunition, and then left her.
