Of the quiet mode in which the con-
quest Of this ancient city was achieved,
is from the pen Of Mr.. Buckingham,
of Boston, who was resident, in it, al
the time of the capture.
II must not omit to mention that we
denizens Of Smyrna, who we're yester-
day quiet subjects of the Grand Turk,
found ourselves tins morning subjects
oftl.e victorious Egyptian Pacha. An
officer of rank in the Pacha's arrived
here last evening, with only four at
pendants. and demanded possession in
the name Of his master. Tyar Bey
the SultaD's Governor, Immediately re-
signed, having no means Of making any
defence; and Imam Effendi, who has
been his chief law-oflicer, succeeded
him as temporary Governor Of Smyr-
IA.
There are some thousand Egyptians
in the immediate vicinity, who will
make their entry in day or two. We
shall then have for Governor, As il i:
said, an able and intelligent man, who
has commanded in Greece, and ha;
been banker of the Pacha. The city
guard was changed last evening, ane
the tax upon the people, who come il
from the country with produce, was i'm
mediately abolished. The Turks her,
are highly gratitied with the new orde
Of things; people of all other nation

must be filled up frequently with
sweetened water.-Whcn the termin-
iation ceases. bung up the barrel tight,
and the process of manufacturing is
Iended. My frieno assured me that he
could buy his currants, and manufac-
ture his wine, for 37a cents per gallon,
and that he had frequently sold it a,
one dollar per gallon.

FLOOD.

The Flood of last week was 90 Sc
verely destructive, we had expected
to learn particulars. Excepting ter
rible rushing Of water from the ravipex
back of Hammondsport Tuesday night.
which inundated the whole square OF
that vtiias~, swcPt away and under
mined a number Of buildings, nearly
ruined a new furnace-damaRes esti-
mated at 63,OOO-Do certain accounts
have been communicated to US. The
following is copied from the Elmira
Gazette of Saturday:
FLooD.-This region Of country has
been visited the past week BY the
greatest freshet that has occurred dur
ing the last % years. The rain OF
Saturday and Sunday, swelled the
Chemung river to a high pitch, and
followed by that Of Monday and Tues
day, it caused the most devastating
flood ever recollected by the inhabi,
tants. On Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday, vast quantities Of lumber,
from the Tioga, Canisteo, Cowanesque
and Conhocton branches eff the Che
mung, and the distance between this
village and their junction, past this
|place.-Frequently two and three
RATS were seen in close contact with
each other, some of them we'll loaded
with shingles, and entire, with the loss
perhaps Of one or both oars, borne
down by the impetuous current With
out the probability Of saving any por-
ton Of their valuable contents. At a
lew estimate, at least tDo millions feet
Of lumber has been lost, or mostly so,
to the inhabitants Of the head waters
Of our river. The corresponding rise
in the waters Of Newton, Seely, and
South Creeks, has laid the country
thro' their whole course under contri-
button. Three bridges on South
Greek have ueen carried away, and in
fact, we understand there il but one
bridge in the town Of Southport left.
The loss in the destruction Of Mill
dams on the streams in that towns uu-
exampled. The bridge over New
town Creek at St. Tuttle's mill, is 50
much injured ~ to require rebuilding.
Several mill dams above the Horse
Heads have been swept away. The
destruction Of fences on the margins
Of all the streams, has been great
The bridge across the river opposite
this village has been injured to some
extent ty the undermining Of one Of
the piers o. the south side of the river.
The Turnpike between Horse-Heads
and Havana is much damaged. The
Ctenu'ag Canal is more or less injured
On the feeder, and between the Sum.
NIT Level and the Seneca Lake, the
|embaaknent in several places having
been washed away-no correct est
mate can as yet be made Of the less sus-
tanned by the state. The dam al the
head Of the feeder, as far as We have
heard. is safe.
