Boli7ar is certainly retiring; he has already evacuated Trtxillo, which wa.s immediately occupied by the Royalist troops, command. ed by General Canterac.? In all the cities of the Peninsula the inhabitants do not want in- viting to render their pious homage to the memory of the august Chief of the Roval House. Among the capitals ot thie provices which have celebrated services for lIouls XVIII., Seville, Valencia, Grenada, and XUalaga have distinguished theniselves by the pomp and the majesty v.hichn have marked these imposing ceremenres. His Excellency the Minister of the Interior has communicated to the Prefectes, the intention of the King not to have hisf9te (St. Charles's Day) celebrated this year. All French hearts will easily feel what motives have dictated this Royal resolve. The following is from the Angsbsrg (Gazette of Oct. 22:- " The Capitan Pacha has returned to Slitylene, for the third time, after continual battles. It is said the Grask fleet has lartterly lost 3'0 vessels captured and sunk ; but if even this news should be confirmed, it is at least certain that the lorea, and the islands of Hydra and of Spezzia, have not'been attacked and that the island of Samos repelled an attack. The results, then, ot the present campaign are still more insignificant than thosc ofthe precedingone.As to the bat tilesofStanchio, onthelOthof Sept., welearnthattheunited fleetof the Mussulmans lost a frigate of 44 guns, two brigs, and 40 small vessels. The Greeks lest six fire-ships and a brig. According to some accounts they have retaken the brig. Tire Sultan has just 3nmed hih Pdcha of Salonica. " A Ye.sel arrived at Tchesme, in 13 lays, saw the Ottoman fleet in the waters of Samos. The CGreeks followed at a distance.
