grounded in the river on Ensenada Spit, when
they were attacked 10y % sail Of Brazilians,
consisting Of heavy corvettes, briggs, and school,

The whole Brazilisn fleet for 10 hours; when,
finding it impossible 10 get the vessels OF, the
Republican, & independents were set on trc

FROM SMYRNA.
The Boston Palladium Of Friday has letter
dated Smyrna, April ", which says" he last
news from Athens was, that Gen. haraiskaki
had arrived at the camp Of Pheleras, TO It's re-
lief. but was too weak 10 attack the bashaw,
who is about $4,000 strong. II is generally
feared the citadel must fall, as IT is said black
flag was flying UPON II. Col. faovier COM
mands it, and as il is we'll known that no quar-
ter will be given, even If surrendered, the gar
rison NAV make desperate sortie, simui;a-
ncouslv With an attack from Karaiskaki, upon
the land side.
"The Turks are making their utnost efforts
% send large ro.ce into the Morea, this cam
naion. but il is evident they grow weaker eve
~ wear and should the Greek revolution last
screen ysars longer, il will ruin the Turkish Em-
plre.
"The Porte will not listen 10 the interference
Of any foreign powers. They say the Greeks
are their subjects, and they viii grant them no
terms whatever, but will have their complete
submission. The Greeks, therefore, have no
choice-,hey will be destroyed either way un,
less some effort is made this. campaign, Of
which the arrival of Cochrane and Cen church
give some kind OF probability.

and was as,onished to find such change as
had occurred. The streets, which were iormer'
" crowded, are now almost deserted. II Is
supposed, that, at the lowest calculation $4,000
Turks have been behcaGed or exiled, and new
executions are daily taking place-the most tri-
vial superstition Of discomfort is immediately
nunished with death. Such is the strict police
