GREECE AJD TURKEY. We have just received, says the Courier, the following very important intelligence from Trieste, under date June 7: A Message of Joy for the Hellenes! I wrote to you on the 31st of May, that reports were spread here of many victories-gained by the Greeks, but I would not relate them to you before the confirmation arrived. Now, however, I can tell you, as certain, and free from all

doubtj that on Wednesday, the 6th (18th) of

May, towards mid-night, and at day-light on Thursday the 7th (19th) the glorious and holy day of the Assumption, the brave Greeks burned the whole of the remainder of the Egyptian fleet in the port of Navarino. At the same time, the troops under the President Conduriottis,and Mavromichaelis fell upon the Egyptian army, beat it completely,and made themselves masters of their camp." Few, very few Egyptians escapedto Modon. This glorious and unexampled victory has freed Navarino from the enemy. We have also learned as certain, that lUehemed Ali, the Satrap of Egypt, is dead. If it be not true that he is already dead, he will die on learning the entire destruction of his formidable expedition, which we have confirmed from all quarters.' From London papers to the 29th, and Paris of the SOth June. GREA T BRITALX. The following among other bills, have received the assent of the King of England : The bill to reduce the duty on newspa

pers; the warehousing corn bill; the Atlantic steam navigation bill; the Canada corn trade bill; the Canada tenures bill; and the bill regulating the hours of labor in cotton mills. The Helicon government brig from Carthagena, arrived at Portsmouth on the 28th, with Mr. Hamilton, bearer of the ratified treaty with Colombia. So great is the apprehension at Lloyd's, relative to the visits of Colombian privateers on the coast of Spain and Portugal, that the premium on Spanish property has risen to 20 per cent. Portsmouth, Eng. June 27. Arrival of Lord Cochrane, This morning's dawn discovered the Emperor of Brazil's frigate Peranga, anchored at Spithead, with the flag of Lord Cochrane flying at the main

as Admiral of the Emperors fleet. After

the customary salutes were exchanged, Lord Cochrane landed at the King's Sally Port about 10 o'clock, when the assembled multitude gave him three cheers, for which he politely bowed. The Peranga left Maran-

ham on the 20th ult. The officers report

that all the northern provinces of Brazil had been restored to tranquility; and that no hostile vessel had appeared on the coast since the evacuation of Bahia, two years

since. The Peranga is a very fine frigate mounting 46 guns; most of the officers and crew are English. A number of naval and military officers waited upon his Lordship at Billett's Hotel. The first question he asked, was whether the Catholic Bill had

the land of liberty, consecrates the legitimacy of your emancipation. It was reserved to the monarch of France, not less religious than great, to signalize his advancement to the crown by an act of justice, which at once adds brilliancy to the throne from whence it emanates, and to the nation which is its object. Haytiens! A special ordinance of his Majesty Charles X, dated the 17th April last, recognizes the full and entire independence of your government. This authentic act, by adding the formality of law to the political existence which you have already acquired, will give you that rank in the world, in which you have been placed, and to which divine Providence calls you. Citizens! Commerce and agriculture will now be greatly extended. The arts and sciences, which rejoice in peace, will be highly improved, to embellish your new situation with all the benefits of civilization. Continue, by your attachment to national

institutions, and above all to your Union, to be the terror of those who would desire to

disturb you in the just and peaceable enjoy ment of your rights.

Soldiers! You have merited well of vour

country. Under allcircumstances you have been readv to combat for her defence. You

will be faithful to your duty. The fidelity of which you have given so many proofs to the commander of the nation, is the most

glorious recompense for his constant solici

tude for the prosperity and glory of the re public.

Haytiens! Show yourselves worthy the

honorable place which you occupy among

the nations of the earth. More happy than

an awful fate, you shall bequeath to your

posterity the most glorious heritage which

they can desire internal harmony, and ex

ternal peacey a flourishing and respected

country. Live for ever, Liberty, Liberty! Live for ever. Independence! Given at the National Palace, Port-au

off the despotism of her "celestial" emperor, and his imperative subordinate officers.

The Hon. Mr. King, Minister to the Court

From the National Journal. BURMESE WAR. VIEWS OF THE FUTURE. The war which the forces of Great Brit ain are waging against the kingdom of Bur mah, in Asia, attracts very little more atten

tion in this country than a war between the

United States and a few tribes of American

Indians might be supposed to excite. It is, nevertheless, a war of great importance to the British empire in India, and will, no doubt, terminate in an accession of territory, and extension of political inff uence for Great Britain to the east of the Ganges. This kingdom of Burmah is extensive, and is sometimes called Ava, from the name of its capital. In one direction it borders upon China; and any foothold gained in it must tend, although somewhat remotely, to approximate the British power to the Chinese empire. In the kingdom of Burmah is produced the celebrated teek timber, so much better calculated than the oak to stand the corroding qualities of the East Indian climate and seas. A ship built of teek wood will last upwards of half a century, whilst vessels constructed of the common timber will be destroyed in eight or ten years. There can be no question that the British arms are pressed with more vigor, from the

consideration that the opportunity is a good

not a paradise, at least a pleasant habitation.

With this view of things, the abolition of

the slave trade, the exploring of the African

continent, and the establishing of colonies

there, happily coincide.

Under these circumstances, it would seem

that the United States owe it to themselves,

and to their high destinies, to take as early

a position as possible, to be instrumental to

so great a work. Lining a large portion o

the border of the Atlantic, all that appears

to be wanting to give them a commanding sway in both hemispheres, is, that they should gain a permanent footing on the shoe of the Pacific Ocean. To this, our Government has obviously not been blind. Conventions with Russia and Great Britain have been formed, in the nature of conversative premonitions, which will enable our Government, at the proper period, to assert with success our rights of territory, and open an extensive region for the introduction of our laws, customs, and manners; and with them,: our glorious political representative system. In this respect, the constituted authorities have performed their duties to posterity, as well as to the present generation, and" the fruits of their wisdom will ripen in time.

Animal Food. It is true that animal food

contains a greater portion ol nutriment in a given quantity, than vegetables; and in pro

per state of preparation, it is amost adapted

for the immediate action of the absorbents of

the chylo-poetic viscera; but the digestive functions of the human system, become nrematurely exhausted by constant action, and the whole svstem eventually sinks under great or uninterrupted excitement. If plain animal food were taken but once a day, aiul men would substitute for the various ragouts with which modern tables are so abundantly furnished, wholesome vegetables and pure water, or a weak fermented beverage, for the more deleterious potations of distilled liquor, we should see health walking in the streets that are now crowded with the bloated victims of voluptuous appetite. Million of Gentoos have lived to an advanced age, without ever having tasted any thing that ever possesed life, and have been wholly free from a chain of maladies, which have scourged every civilized nation on the globe. The wandering Arabs, who have traversed the deserts of Sahara, subsisting on the scan

ty pittance of milk from the half famished camel that carried them, have seen 200 years roll round, vwthout a day of sickness. Medical Adviser

One of the most sanguinary battles fought in the war of the revolution, took place on Groton Heights. The English forces were commanded by Arnold; the Americans by Col. Ledyard, a militia ollicer. The Americans were but few in number, and principally inhabitants of Groton, and most of them

heads of families, collected in the hurry of

the occasion. The fort was in a poor state for defence, but the besieged and the besiegers fought with the most determined bravery and many a heroic American, and no less heroic Briton, bit the dust in that memorable battle. The contest was continued until a column of English troops entered the
