(From the Germa= and Italian vaoera.l . tsic no3ra tiigh Commissioner, General Adam, who on the 8rh of this month went to INapoli de Romania, on board the SabIe frigate, returned the day before yesterday. The object of his voyage Was, according to' the proclamation issued on the 6th, (see Asnstrian Obrerver of the 28th of September), to obtain the revocation of the Greek decree of the 27th of Mlay, against thie merchant ships of the Epropean Powers. Admiral O'Neil commanded the British squadron which had entered the Archipelago on this occasion. The Govern- ment at Napoli di Romania, on the first menacing representations of the Government of the lonian Islands, had published, on the 27th of August, a resolution which declared the decree of the 27th of AMay revokedr, with regard to all neutral ships that had not Turkish troops on board. Admiral O'Neil, not satisfied with this resolutioni, de- manded, oni his arrival before Napoli, the unconditional and com- plete revocation of the original decree. Hereupon, witbin a few houirs, on the 3d (lo:b) ot September, nuaother resolution was taken, whichj, as there is at present no printingolice at Napoli, was pub- lished and posted up in manuscript, and which. in short but pre- cise and positive terms, revokes the decree of the 27th of May.- austrinrl Observer,--Oct. 11. TURIN, OCT. 14. The Diario di Ronoa of the 6th has the two fbllowing statements, wlhich may be compared with that from Florence of the 9th, in our last number. NAPLES, OCT. 2. An English brig, from (;orfa, has brought the important news of the revocation of the Greek decree. The Captain sarys, there had been great rejoicings at Napoli di Romania for a naval victory over the Turks. CORFU, SrPT. 22. It was announced on the 8th of this month, that the Egyptian fleet had been obliged by the plague to return to Alexandria. Wc now know, from an autlientic source, that tbis operation of the Egyptians was a feigned retreat, whieh Admniral AIliaulis pereeiving, resolved to attack it; and though his ships were much inferior in number and size to those of the enemy, he succeeddl in dispersing the fleet, after having burnt a frigate, two corvy:tes, a brig, and 14 tranrsports.-.Gzetta Piemontese, Oct. 14. (From the Dutch papers.) VENICE, S2PT. 3t. A Yessel has th's momnent arriveL lere, in fourteen Says from Zante, and eight from Corfu, bringing positive intelligence that the Egyptian fleet has been destroyed by the Greeks near Zea. It is part7y burnt, partly taken, and the remainder is puirsued in its flight by the Greeks. It is added, that General Adam, Lord High Com- missioner of the Ionian Islands, has visited the theatre of war, and that, on his return to Corfu, he has spoken with boundless admira. tion of tlhe courage and address of tbe Greeks, who have exhibited a scene hitherto unknown in maritime warfare-that of setting fire to ships of war tinder sail in the open sea. Thus, then, the t we great Byzantine and Egyptian fleets, consisting of above r00 vessels, large and smaall, belonging to the Turks and their friends, are destroyed. 'We learn that on the return of the Lord Hight Cormmissioner to the lonian islands, orders have been issued by him to all the Eng- lish and Ionian vessels, no more to serve the Greeks. Henceforth the Greeks, if they meet with European ships under the Turkish flag, shall have a right to destroy them, according to theirprclamna. tion; on the other hand, those whicit they may me-et with in the Turkish service, under a European fiag, shall be declared confiscated, anti the crews sent back. We believe that this is the result of parti- cular arrangements made with the Provisional Government of the Greeks. The Greeks received his Excellency in tihe most brilliant manner. On his arrival at Napoli di Romania, a salute of 101 guns was tired, tnd he was aceompanied from the place of his landing to the palace of the Government by 8,000 troops. The same honour was shown him at his departure.-Aensterdetm CCouauin, Oct. 2j. CRERCE. CORFU, SEPT. 22.
