The last arrival from Coro brings accounts from that no vessel would be sllowed to touch on the coast in the possession of the Colombians, for the space of fourteen days.

CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 26—The cause of hu manity has at length found avengers; the Captain Pacha is no more. The evening of the festival of the Bairam, the 2.2 d of June, three Greek fire-ships approached the Turkish fleet e uialer 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 ing matches; a general disorder fel:owed, and every one sought his safety ; the Captain Pacha, half burnt, was &embarked on the coast of Scio, where he caused so much calamity ; but he yieided his last sigh half an hour after. Three ships of the line have been greatly damaged, the others fled in every direction. History will hand down to postCrity 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 Nam; it is Cara Mehmet, Tobsehi. retired commandant of artillery, now at Patras. SEMLIN, JULY 2.—lt is reported at Belgrade that the Greeks have taken Larissa, the capital of Thes saly, by storm. Private letters from Bitoglia say, that the war in Epirus, Thessaly, and the Morea, assumes a still more sanguinary character. Whoever tldls into the hands of the enemy is put to death. The events at Seio have excited a real desperation in the Greeks, and at the same time the most heroic courage. Gen. Normann is said to have arrived bofore Arta on the 13th, and to have united with the Suliots. FRONTIERS OF ITALY, JULY just received from the Levant state, that in fact no naval battle had taken place between theC reeks and Turks, but the former had, however, captured five Turkish men of war, and a number of transports, with men on beard, which were destined to reinforce the Turk ish garrisons in the island, of Cunha: three of the Turkish men of war had run aground. It is Eated also, that a Turkish ship of the liar' has foundered, and two corvettes and a kigate stranded. The su preme government of Hydra has issued a bulletin, stating that the fleets of I lydra, Spezzia, and I psara, had twice °fibre& the Captain Piaui battle, ut Tscheme, but that he bad declined the challenge; that the Greek fleets were again cruising in the Ar chipelago, and would be joined ply the other vessels, which had been fitted out in the island during the last two mouths. The Captain Pacha, 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 not mention the Captain Pachft's return to the Darda nelles. 111 thg.ain, the French consul at Seio, who behated so well on the unhappy catastrophe, and saved the lives of so many Greeks, makes bitter complaints of the conduct of the fuel .Copt. Pacha, and those who counnand under 14, for having ao notoriously and scandalously e d the amnesty which he had promised, Th e. tof the regard pretended to have been shewu fur the Catholic churches at Seto is positively contradicted; they have been destroyed as well as the Gteek churches; only the church of the French ; copsulaie had been spared. Notwithstanding all 11.0.4surances in fa vour of ffireigners given at Coirstantinop!e, many French merchants, who had „previously arranged their affairs, left the capital in the first half of June, because there was every appearance. that u new ca tastrophe was at hand, which threatened the capital, and esjecialiy the quartar of Perin 1. :1 , /7: ..

KINGSTON ' JUNE B.—We learn by the Minorca (which arrived ut Port Royal on the 2il 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 Pasts), which, after a great struggle, was decided in favour of the Colombians, by a reinfOreement of 800 men arriving larfore the action was concluded. The Independents merely, however, retained their ground, both parties having suffered a very severe loss. The army of' Bolivar was estimated at .5,000 effective troops, and the royal forces amounted to an equal number at least. The statement of Bolivar having entered Quito is, we understand, incorrect; the inhabitants of that territory continue firm to the royal cause, and the clergy have given up all the plate of the churches to ba coined into money for the support of the troops. Advices from Lima, of the 7th April, state, that Gen. San Martin was preparing to march for Upper Peru, with an army of 8,000 effective men, and with as many newly-raised troops. La Cerne and Ramirez, Royal Generals, were, with a force of from 12 to 13,000 men, in possession of all Upper Peru, und all the Mines San Martin had in con,equenec b,cn obliged to resort to a 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. lie had, fur the purpose of ingratiating Liras& with the people, esta blished an Order of Knighthood, denominated the Order of the Sun, and also a similar one for the " lair sex," which he had peolusely bestowed on both sexes. A . ConacoisaFatt.2o --The vessels of war expected at La Guayra from Margarita and Cumana, arrived there a few days ago, and are now enforcing the de• ciaration 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, and 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, therefbre, more thur very few, it' any vessels, proceeding to Puerto Cabello or Coro, or to any of the intermediate posts, will escape capture. The schooner San Juan, from Coro to Porto Cabello, has already been taken, and ordered fir La Guayra. The following is a copy of a letter received from La Guayra, dated April 15 : " The Centeltn was captured in front of Cadiz. Iler captain, Saboada, and the passengers Don J. Ometa, Don Fermin Medina de Lopez, inhabitants of La Guayra, are prisoners. The cargo of the pri vateer is valued at 80,000 dollars. In this vessel were found letters from the Government of Puerto Cabello, calling on the Spani.iii Government fur 10,000 men, and a million of donuts, and declaring that without this supply the fortress would necessa rily be surrendered. A brig was also taken, called the Two Brothers, proceeding from Barcelona to Cuba." APRIL 27.—1 n arrival on Monday, from Puerto Cabello, brings accounts that a corvette, a blig, and three flecheras, under the Columbian flag, were cringing off Lad port, and that by land the place was so strongly surrounded with a strong military' force, as to cut oft all supplies from the interior. The schooner Venus, which came in from Puerto Cabella yesterday afternoon, saw no vessels what ever ott the coast. The Mulish schooner Jusepiiii, Brit, master, from La Guayra, came into the harbour at the saute time with the Venus, and brings accounts that a squadron of seven armed vessels, consisting of a brig, !u•ar schooners, one klueca, curd one polaere, sailed from La Guayra on Thursday morning, to reinforce the blockading squadrons ci I'uertu Cabello. Should the intelligence be correct, we consider it strange that the squadron did nut arrive off Puerto Cabelu precious to the sailing of the Hercules and rows, bs that port is ouly a tew hours sail to the leeward in La Guayara. The Venus did not leave Puerto C.:Aiello land Thursdaj evening, and saw nothing of them. The JusrpAin brings no political news of interest. NiAV 4.--The Colujnhian forces have again made ilhanseaves toasters of Curti. The following is au 'r in: 01 .. PRICE 91d. ALZ-LA-CHAPELLK, JULY is affirmed that a person of distinction, belonging to one of the Le gations at Constantinople, has written to a mercan tile house at Odessa, that it was generally reported at Pero, that after an extraordinary meeting of the Divan, at which all the great men of the empire were present, the Reis Effendi had delivered to the Ministers of England and Austria a note of the high est importance, the contents of which arc of such a nature that it will probably put an end to all the uncertainty which has so long prevailed respecting the affairs of the East. BRUSSELS, JULY I9.—A distressing affair has just been decided by the Court of Assize of South Brabant. A farmer's wife, of the name of Engelbert, was accused of having murdered her husband. and the son and daughter were implicated as accomplices in the crime. After three days' deliberation, and hearing 99 witnesses, the mother alone was con demned to death. The son and daughter were ac quitted, there being no evidence affecting the son, and ►he 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 father to the river. The Attorney-General, who prosecuted for the Crown, thought she migot be excused, as having obeyed the impulse of nature which led her to wish to conceal her at Aber 's crime. The mother is generally pitied, as having been led to the commission of this great crimes by years of ill treatment on the pai t of her husband. Letters dated the 13th inst. received from Barce. lona, which represent the entire province of Cata lonia as the scene ()fa cmitest bet :vcen the old royalist and constitutional parties. Scarcely a town or vil lage that did not take a decided part on one side or the other; and the equality of power in both sides, by prolonging the conflict, had produced the greatest degree of rancour in both. It is described as no un common event that a village near which a skirmish has occurred, is plundered and set in flames by the conquerors. Few of the mails flom 31adrid reached Barcelona, so 'hat the communication with the ca pital was extremely uncertain. • Extract of a letter dated Ilavannah, June 6 : " Since our last, some unexpected obstacles have re tarded the establishment of the system of deposit in this port : thoi greatest has been that of giving a check to the contraband trade. These, we have no doubt, will be overcome at lust, when it is fully expected this beneficial measure will be carried into execution. On the side of Mexico, we have the most unpin,- misiug accounts ; every expedition to that quarter mutt produce the most ruinous losses, and like every other place tom Lima northwardly, the state of war and pillage, and the vast depopulation which has followed, turbid the prospect of the more peace able pursuits of commerce and agriculture fur a lung time 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 these are lying without freight and without employment. NVe have only to add, as regards the political situation of this colony, that no where 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 for the apprehensions which are so industriously endeavoured to be circulated to the prejudice of the people of this island. Some acts of piracy have taken place in this neighbourhood, but we indulge the hope that the active measures adopted by the cruisers of the United States particularly, will ultimately put a stop to these proceedings." Coluisl the Hon G. A. C. Stupyl'on, Chairman of the Victualling Board, Frederick Eilgecombe,Esq. and Dr. Barnett, Commissioners of that Board, have concluded their labour of roquiries into the depart ments under their direction at Portsmouth, with a view to make reductions therein. It is computed that the consolidation of the Victualling with the Weovil establishment will effect a saving of upwards of five thousand pounds per annum. 'l•he total esti muted expence of the year is given in the " Navy Estimates" at 10,4781. At tiliatharn, where the estimated expense was the establishment has been eutirety 'educed, excepting the Clerk of the Cheque, one clerk, and ten men. V-4:4\ AP/ rAt 4 . 4 1—.! /bp • j p,,, ec‘.
