CHOURSCHID PACH A. It was thought for a time that he was detained by the diversions effected in Albania, partly by the Suliots, partly by the Greek insurgents : it seems, however, that this  was not the case. CHOURSCHID PACHA had left the conduct of the war in Albania to the l'acha of Arta, who, with a cot ps of 6,000 men, attacked the insurgents in the middle of the month of July, and is said to have obtained important advantages over them, of which, however, none of the details have reached us. —Meantime CHOURSCHID PACHA, with the main army of 40,000 men (other accounts make it more numerous), marched to Thessaly by way of Zeitun, where the insurgents are stated to have received a severe defeat, penetrated through the Thermopylw, occupied Livadia and Salona, and, according to subsequent letters, recovered Thebes and Athens. It is certain that towards the end of July the greatest consternation prevailed in all these parts, and that l i, desperate measures were taken for the defence of the Peloponnesus.—To an army like that under CHOUR• 'CHID PACHA, the insurgents, it is true. cannot oppose one of equal strength ; yet their force would be great enough, considering the enthusiasm with which they must be supposed to be inspired, to make a powerful resistance, did not the want of harmony among their leaders impede their enterprises on all sides. Their ablest military Chiefs are rough soldiers, who will not be dictated to by the better informed political leaders, who are wholly ignorant of war. ODYSSEUS, celebrated in Europe on account of his political name, was neither more nor less than a common Mainote highwayman, on whom Ara PACRA conferred a kind of importance by employing him in the most desperate and sanguinary enterprises. This Chief, after having at first rendered important services to the Insurgents, appears now to have met with an end worthy of his former exploits. The Political Janta, which calls itself the Greek Senate, sent to bias  1  S  two Officers, who had been brought up in foreign service, to waist him in conducting his military operations. ODYSSIUS had them murdered without ceremony. On this he was declared a traitor, and excommunicated. He then joined CHOUROCIIID PACHA, and has been of great assistance to him in his present ei-pedition.—UThis is confirmed by the accounts from Corfu.3—According to the latest accounts he has already met with his death, in what manner is not known. COLOCOTRONI, though of rather, a better character than Onvssaos, seems to be openly at •ariance with the Political Junta. He has raised the blockade of nitres, without any reason, and is even said to have recalled his son from Albania, where he command ,d a small corps. DEMETRIUS YPSILANTI, whose p2rsonal character was esteemed, bad lost all credit, by his total want of military talents. MAUROCORDATO, a young man of much under. standing, and of great capacity for political affairs, acts now the part of a General, for which he is not qualified, either from ill-judged ambition, or from the real want of serviceable Commanders. His enemies accuse him of aiming at the Dictatorship, which some accounts say his party has really given Under such circumstances the cause cf the Insurgents cannot prosper, except through extreme indolence and want of energy on the part of the Turkish Government. The annual appointments of the two Kadiaskers and of the Supreme Judge of Constantinople, has been made within these few days. HALLS SADE AEU, BEY was appointed Kadiasker of Romelia, one of the most important ports in the civil administration of the Ottoman Empire.  During this last summer, the plague has appeirel in various parts of the Turkish Empire. Even e e capital and its environs ale not t% holly free from it. The same is stated to be the case at Salonichi; but it is said to commit great ravages in Albania. Alexandria, in Egypt, and Algiers, have also been viiited by this scourge. Aociusr 14.—Metalliques, SI S-;3—Bank Shares, S4l 9-10.  Accounts have been received from Algiers, which give the most melancholy descriptions of the ravages made by the fever in the provinces ; and the pi Intl• pal inhabitants of the Capital were in the greatest consternation. The differences between Spain and the Day are likely to lead to hostilities.
