The evening of the festival of the Bairsm, the 2:td of June, three Greek fire-sleips approached the Turkish fleet, under a friendly flag. The Turks, occupied with the pleasures of the festi val, allowed them to come close to the Admiral's ship; the Greeks set fire to them by means of burn iag matches; a general disorder filowed, and every one sought his safety ; the Captain Pacha, half burnt, was disembarked on the coast of Scio, where be caused so much calamity; but he yielded his last sigh half an hour after. 'Three ships of the line have teen greatly damaged, the others fled in every direction. history will hand down to posterity the courage of the Greek seamen. The Porte has hi therto concealed this event, to avoid disorders ; but the Sultan has already named the successor of the Captain Pacha; it is Cara Nlehmet, Tobsehi Pachu, retired commandant of aitillery, now at Patras. SEM LI N, JULY 2.—lt is reported at Belgrade that the Greeks have taken Larissa, the capital of Thes salv, by stoirn. 'Private letters from Bitoglia say, that the war in Epirus, Thessaly, and the Mores, assumes a still more sanguinary character. Whoever falls into the bands of the enemy is put to death. The events at -.Seat have excited a real desperation in the Greeks, and at the state time the most heroic courage. Gun. Normann is said to have arrived before Arta on the 3111, and to have united with the Sanas. FRONTIERS OF ITALY, JULY 9.•••••ACCOUTAS just received from the Levant state, that in fact no naval battle had taken place between the Greeks and Turks, but the former had, however, captured five Turkish men of war, and a number of transports, with men • on board, which were destined to reinfbree the Turk ish garriSontain the island of Candia: three of the Turkish men of war had run aground. It is sated also, that a Turkish ship of the line has foundered, and two corvettes and a frigate stranded. The sta ' prone g ivernment of Hydra has issued a bulletin, stating that the fleets of hydra, Spczzia, and I psara, Lad twice offered the Captain Pasha battle, at Tseheme, but that he hail declined the challenge; that the Greeic fleets were again cruising in the Ar thipelugo, and would be joined by the other vessels, which had been fitted out in the island during the last two months. The Captain Pasha, on the other hand, is said to have received reinforcements from Constantinople. The Egyptian flotilla was still in the harbour of Alexandria, and observed by a divi sion of the Greek fleet. These accounts do nut mention the Captain Paella's return to the Darda nelles. M. agam, the French consul at Seio, who beha%ed so well on the unhappy catastrophe, and saved the lives of so many Greeks, makes bitter complaints of the conduct of the cruel Capt. Paella., and these who command under him, for having s notoriously and scandalously violated the ainnesty which he had promised. The report of the regard pretended to have been shcwu for the Catholic churches at Scio is positively contradicted; they have been destroyed as well us the Greek churches; only the church of the French consulate had been Awed. Notwithstanding all the assurances in fa vour of foreigners given at Constantinople, many French merchants, who had previously arranged their affairs, left the capital in the first half of June, because there was every appearance that a new ca tastrophe was at hand, which threatened the capital, and especially the quarter of Vera. AIX -LA-CHAPELLE, JULY 11.—Ic is affirmed that a person of distinction, belonging to one of the I.e gati at Constantinople, hits written to a mercan tile house at Odessa, that it was generally reported at Per*, that after an extraordinary meeting of the Divan, ut which all the great men of the empire were present, the Iteis Etlbndi had delivered to the Mini.-tent of Englund and Au- trig a note of the high est importance, thevontents of which are of such a nature that it will probably put an ens to all the uncertainty which has so lung prevailed respectin • the affairs of the East. • BERLIN, JULY 16,—The fair at Nuremberg has turned out better than was expected. Several r hants the north of Germany wero present, and in particular several thousand cwt. of Engliab goods 1 ace stated to have bees sold. ~t-r- .. -,.,-'.. A ~ .~: SUNDAY, JULY 28, 1822. BRUSSIiLS, JULY 19.• A distressing affair hal . just been decided by the Court of Assize of South Brabant. A I:trmer's wife, of the name of Engelbert, was accused of having murdered her husband, and the son and daughter were implitated as accomplices in the crime. After three dayk deliberation, and hearing.9o witnesses, - the titotlier done was con demned to death. The son and 'daughter were ac quitted, there being no evidence affecting the son, and the only fact against the daughter being, that, after the commission of the crime, in which she had no participation, she had assisted to carry the body of her hither to the river. The Attorney-General, who prosecuted fur the Crown, thought she might be excused, as having obeyed the impulse of nature which led her to wish to conceal her mother's crime. The mother is generally pitied, es having been led to the commission of this great crimes by years of ill treatment on the part of her husband. JAMAICA PAPERS, _ _ KINGSTON, JUNE B.—We learn by the Minorca (which arrived at Port Royal on the 2d inst.) that about the latter end of April a battle was fought between General Bolivar and the royal regiment of Arragon, aided with the natives of Pasto, which, after a peat struggle, was decided in favour of the Columbians, by a reinforcement of 800 men arriving before the action was concluded. The Independents merely, however, retained their ground, bath parties haying suffered a very severe loss. The army of Whear was estimated at 5,000 effective troops, and the royal forces amounted to an eloal number at leSst. The statement of Bolivar having eme:ed Quito is, we understand, incorrect; the inhabitants of that territory continue firm to the royal cause, and the clergy have given up 41 the plate of the churches to be coined into nvoney fur the support of the troops. Advices from Lima, of the 7th April, state, that Gen. San Martin was preparing to mast fir Upper Peru, with an army of 8,000 effective men, and with as many newly-raised troops. Ls Cerne and Ramirez, Royal Generals, were, with a force of from le to 13,000-men, in possession of all Upper Pau, and all the •Mines. San Martin bad in con,equence _been obliged to resort to u paper currency, of the value of 10 dollars and upwards, to pay his troops; and he compelled the inhabitants, under severe pe nalties, to take them in payment. Ile had, for the purpose of ingratiating himself with the people, esta blished an Order of Knighthood, denominated the Order of the Sun, and al:4, a similar one for the " fair sex," which he had min,ely bestewed on both sexes. Cuniteos, A PRIL 20.--The vessels of war expected at La Guayra from Margarita and Cumana, arrived there a taw days ago, and arc now enforcing the de claration of blockade against Puerto Cabello. The line of sea board now remaining in the pos session of the Royalists extends only from Puerto Cabello to Coro, which are. the extremities; and as the blockading squadron is composed of an active description of vessels, cud we understand are all ex cellent sailers, it may with facility form a line of communication along this small extent of coast; and it is, therefore, more than very few, if ally vessels, rrocceding to Puerto Cabello or Coro, or to any of the intermediate posts, will escape capture. 'r lie schooner San Juan, from Coro to Porto Cabello, has already been taken, and ordered fin La Guayra. The following is a copy of a letter received from La Guayra, dated April 15: " The CC/dela was captured In front of Cadiz. Her captain, Saboalkt, and the passengers Don J. Onsets, Don Fermin Medina de Lopez, inliabihtots of La Guayra, are prisoners. The cargo of the pri vateer is valued ut 80,000 dollars. In this vessel were found letters from the Cii'overnment of Puerto Cabello, calling on the Spanish Government for 10,000 inert, and a million of dollars, and declaring that without supply the fortrais would ucccsa rily be surrendered. al brig was also taken, called the Two Brollays, proceeding flew Barcelona to Cuba." At.ntt. Q7.--An arrival on Monday, from Puerto brings accounts that a corvette, a brig, and three tlecl►eras, under the Columbian flag. were cruiziug off that port, and Llw . by loud the place : L- • • - Paley. Old. was so strongly surrounded with a strong military force, as to cut MT all supplies from the interior. 'The schooner renus, which came in from Puerto Cabella yesterday afternoon, saw no vessels what ever off theicoast. The ll.inislt schooner Jatepiin, Brit, master, eont La Guayra, came into the harbour at the same time with the Penns, and biings accounts that a-sqoadroa of seven armed vessels, consisting of a brig, toar schooners, one Nueva, and one p.dacre, sailed front La Goayra on Thursday morning, to reinforce the blockading squadrons a Puerto Cabello. Should the intelligence be correct, we consider it strange that the squadron did not arrive ofr Puerto Cabeil, previous to the sailing of the Hercules and Vento, as that port is only a few hours sail to the leewarl of La Guevara. The Fenn,• did not leave Puerto Cabello taitil Thursday evening, and saw nothing of them. The Josephin brings no political news of interest. MAY 4.--. The Columbian forces have again made • themselves masters of Coro. The following is as extract of a letter from that place, dated April 23, received here from a person in high rank in the Co lumbian army:— " On the 17th we fell in with the force under Col. Tell°, consisting of the battalion of Hosterlitz, and the light companies of &trim's, which we com pletely defeated. To complete the work we ('lily want !gorges, and consegnently Puerto Cala() must full into our power, which will absolute liberty to the whole of Columbia." Gen. Morales has still a considerable force under his command, and was, according to the last ac count% on the coa , :t near the bite of Maracaybo. The last arrival from Coro brings accounts from that no vessel would b.: allowed to roue' on the coast in the possession of the Columbians, for the space of fourteen days. This measure had been adopted as a further preventative to the escape by sea of Morales or his troops. Extract of a letter dated Havannah, June 11 " Since our last, some unexpected obstacles have re tarded the est:blishment of the system of deposit in this port: the greatest hasbeen Ow of giving a cheek to the contraband trade. These, we have no doubt, will be cvercome at last, when it is tUlly expected this beneficial measure will be carried into execution. Ott the side of Mexico, we have the most unpro. raising accounts ; every expedition to that quarter • must produce the most ruinous losses, and like every other place from Lima northwardly, the state of war anti pillage,. and the vast depopulation which has followed, forbid the prospect cf the more peace able pursuits of commerce and agriculture for a long tune to come, The re-action continues upon this market. There is a less number of vessels in this harbour than we have ever known at the same Season, yet so limited is the shipping business, that a number of vessels in ales?. are lying without freight and without employment. We have only to add, as tegards the political situaCon of this colony, that no 4vhere is there thund greater tranquillity, and we add, greater security. Unlike all other colonies where the coloured population greatly exceeds the white, here the numbers of each are nearly equal ; consequently, on this score, there is no cause fur the apprehensions which are so industriously endeavoured to be circulated to the prejudice of the people of this Liland. Some acts of piracy have taken plaze in this neighbourhood, but we indulge the hope that the active measures adopted by the cruise:T. (tithe United States particularly, will ultimately put a stop to these ptuceedings."
