LATE FROM LONDON.

The brig Jones, arrived at Boston on the

4th inst.t in 37 days from London. We are indebted to Mr. ToplhT, the editors of the Boston Courier and Patriot, and to the New

York Gazette, for extracts from papers to

the 25th of August. THE GREEKS. As usual the intelligence from this unhap

py people is vague and unsatisfactory. The

following, received at Corfu, dated Otranto,

July 21, confirms the account ot the captiv

ity of Ibrahim Pacha "The Greeks have gained a complete victory over Ibrahim at

Tripolitza, and have succeeded in taking

him prisoner. I his communication is true and certain, and you may depend on it. I have therefore sent it to you by express to

avoid delays of the post.

Further confirmation is also to be found

in the following: Bucharest, August 1. A Russian Cour

ier, who left Constantinople on the 22d of

July,- in the evening, and passed through

this city, has related that the whole Egyp

tian army in the interior of the Morea is de

stroyed, and. Ibrahim Pacha himself taken

prisoner by the Greeks. On the same day

that this bad news was received at Constan

tinople, an Imperial Firman, he said, was published in the capital, ordering all persons

to refrain from speaking on political sub

jects. The merchants' letters that have

been received bv this opportunity only say

in general terms, that with the next post a

great event will be made known, which will

astonish all Europe." On the other hand, the subsequent arti

cle from Constantinople, of the date of the

26th of July, which is later from that place

than is contained in the preceding paragraph, puts a different lace oh affairs:

Letters from Constantinople of July 26,

received at Paris, state that Ibrahim Pacha was still in the Plateau of Tripolitza. The

Capt. Pacha's troops, to the number of 5 or 6000, arrived at Nisi on the Gth, and set out

on the 7th for Tripolitza. The plague was prevalent at Modon and Navarin. The Diario Romano of August 2, contains a letter from Syra, stating a report that Ibrahim Pacha had burnt Corinth, and that Colocotroni had afterwards entered into negotiations with them. It is stated, by way of Venice, that General Goura had gained another victory over the Pacha of Negropont, who, after sustaining great loss, was obliged to return to Eubcea and evacuate the districts of Eastern Greece. The Constitutionef says that the lord commissioner of the Ionian Islands has had a smart explanation with the Austrians, w ho had violated neutrality by preventing the Greek fleet from attacking the Turkish one when it could have done it with an advantage, and that some cannon shots had been exchanged between an English and an Austrian vessel on the occasion. The Etoile says "if it is true, and we are inclined to believe it from a!L that has. previously occurred that the Austrians sheltered the Turks at the critical moment, the pretended inaction of the Greek fleet, its retreat to Hydra, and the unimpeded landing of Egyptian reinforcements in the Morea are at once accounted for. Against such an unprincipled interference nothing but a miracle from the

Providence of God, could enable the Greeks' J

to contend. I he criminality of the act would be so deep and so monstrous, that it would cry to Heaven for vengeance or rather justice on its perpetrators. For the sake

of Christianity we hope that the Austrians' have not carried so far their unchristian and! inexplicable partiality for the Turks; though! we lament to see that they are not the only!

power wrhose cruisers have violated the neutrality and sacrilegiously become agents of the Ottomans. The intended expedition of Lord Cochrane to Greece gave great satisfaction at

Paris. The Journal des D bats says "it is! noble thus to see the inventions of learned Europe applied to contend with barbarism,! and to deliver oppressed nations. The use; of vessels navigating without the aid. and; even against the force of winds,. cannot faili to produce great results in a sea bestrewed ' with islands and shoals. With what stupid; astonishment will not the Turks look uponj those machines, which will appear to themj inventions from Hell !" The Constitutionell

is uiucuij gitiuueu aim sanguine, ana aouDts not that in a very little while Lord Cochrane will destroy the whole Ottoman navy.

even if it should be reinforced by that of Austria. SPAIN. I A long and interesting article has appeared in a French paper, the Courier de Pays Bas, repeating a rumour which had been circulated and commented upon for some

weeks, that preparations were on foot for

forcing i crdmand to abdicate a throne which he disgraces. A Belgic paper furnishes an article dated Madrid, July 21. which savs

We at length approach the denoument of

proscribed. He died in the ranks, mortal

ly wounded by a cannon ball, lighting against Napoleon. Cabanis, who was equally the dupe of Bonaparte's artifices, had the weakness to accept of a place in the senate, and died of grief at having been instrumental in the sub

jection of his country. Chcnlcr, deceived

like Cabanis, would accept nothing from Bo

naparte, remained poor, wrote in support of

the cause of liberty, and died without being able to publish his writings: vexation shortened his days. Two persons only remain, whose fate w e

shall not venture to predict, Lucien Bona

parte and Talleyrand. As to the hero of the piece himself, if what we have already said on the subject is insufficient, and if our readers wish to form a more correct idea of the happiness he enjoyed let them turn to the Memoirs of his Ministers, and the account of what took place at St. Helena. Great he was undoubtedly great in talent and in fortune beyond the standard of any modern potentate; and not naturally without qualities entitling him both to love and respect. But good he was not undoubtedly-and still more assuredly lie was not happy. His defection from the cause of liberty was fatal at once to his glory, his security, and his enjoyment: and while it is impossible not to mourn over the extinction of those golden prospects which his powers and opportunity s seemed to open at the beginning of his career, we cannot but feel that the retribution was justy which cast down the military despot, and chrushed, under the iron hand of force, the mighty captain who had focibly overthrown the freedom of his country. From the National Standard. THE DRUNKARD'S MIRROR. Not long since one of my neighbors in telling me over some of his recent misfortunes, gave me the following account. Two of his finest hogs the evening before, broke from their enclosure, and in their search after food, discovered the barrel of swill from which they were daily fed. Casting an eye into it, one of them supposed that it must be fine eating in the barrel if he could but reach it. Making a violent strule to reach

it, he lost his balance, and being too large

a political drama, the most monstrous that stupidity and ignorance ever performed on the theatre of the world. We are at the crisis of that ministerial conspiracy, the exposure of which must reveal to us the secrets of many others. Justice and common sense, national rights and the name of Riego, are about to be avenged, and a ministry, which have forfeited their honours betrayed their country., and sold the south of Europe, will soon experience the chastisement which Heaven always reserves for the wieked. The article then goes on to detail the intrigues of the French with the Spanish Ministry; and asserts, that by their conduct in Spain, the French Ministers have entirely compromised Ferdinand's crown that they have ruined themselves by their own handy works, and legitimacy is destroyed by its most zealous defenders. The writer after an elaborate review of the recent political transactions and specnlatior.s upon the present prospects of the Kingdom, says "We are then warranted in concluding that

a great political event is preparing beyond the Pyrennees; that it will be an event calculated to revenge the violated rights of suffering humanity, and in particular those of the Spanish people which have been most grievously insulted, and that Spain will become a cancer to the French Government. Private letters from Seville of July 30, state that Spain was threatened with a fa

mine, in consequence of the extreme heat of

the weather the crops were rapidly perishing. According to the same letters, the reign of anarchyT was fast approaching the banditti, or rather the constitutional forces, overran most of the provinces, retiring into their fastnesses on the approach of any force to subdue them, and levying contributions with impunity when their enemies retired from the vain pursuit of them. If these ac

counts can be trusted, it would appear al

most impossible that the present year could

terminate without some important convulsions in that ill fated monarchy.

Letters from Paris say that the measures

adopted by the South American states a-

gainst those countries which have not acknowledged their independence, have excited a great sensation in the commercial interest at Bordeaux and Havre. It is evi

dent theyr say, that the measures proposed

to be adopted will tend principally to the to turn in the barrel, he could not regain his

advantage of England and the prejudice of position but continued to struggle till he ex-

France. They console themselves partially

in the prospect of the speedy conclusion of

a commercial treaty with Spain, by which

their manufactures will obtain a decided preference ov&r English; but doubts are ex

pressed that the advantage accruing from

that his fellow must have made a new discovery, waited for no signs or ceremonies but without delay made the same fatal plunge.

Musing on this rather singular fact, I was

dined to relinquish their prey, proceeded tr. blows, but the Colonel who was an excellent swordsman, laid two of his assailants dead on the spot, and drove the other two from the house severely wounded -he hinv self received slight wounds, and a ball glazed his check. On the return of the remnant of the French army, oppressed with fatigue, want and disease, the worn out soldier, in rags, sought the dwelling of the Jew, and with difficulty was recognized ; so completely changed was his appearance. The Jew completely furnished his wardrobe, arid con triveJ to send him through the hostile armies to France. At the peace, the colonel was obkged to retire on a miserable pittance, which an aged mother and a bister shared. He had forgotten the Jew of Wilna, when one evening, in the spring of 1S1G, a man called at his humble abode, in the suburbs of Paris, and having satisfied himself as to his identity, placed in his hands a packet, and vanished. On opening it, the colonel found bills, on a banker in Paris, to the amount of 5000, with the following note: 4,He whose daughter you preserved from a brutal ravisher, whose life you savt'dr and whose house jou protected from plunder, at the risk of your own existence, sen. da you an otfering of his gratitude; the othe? return he requires is, if ever you hear the Jews contemned, you will say, that one of that race, knew how to be grateful." The old Jew died at Vienna; his daughter, the heiress of his immense wealth, the largest portion of which was in the French funds, visited Paris; it was natural she should seek the brave man who had preserved her from the worst of fates, and with no common emotion, lie found the young girl he had protected, now a blooming and beautiful woman, and amiable as she was engaging. He became a lover, and she consented to be a wife. With her hand he received more than JC 100.000.

Fouche's Memoirs. Since the death of

Fouche, a volume, purporting to have been

written by him has been published, the au

thenticity of which has been denied by his

son. I he Edinburgh Reviewers, notwith

standing, suppose the work to be genuine, and say, the memoirs require only to be

read to convince any one, that they are the

allow themselves time to think. The course

to which I refer is that of drawing compari-l

sons between the conduct of brutes and of men. Although my object in making these comparisons, is not like that of Darwin and some others; still I am inclined to give you the result of them. I began to inquire whether, men are ever guilty of conduct so heedless and irrational, as to bear any anal

Fortune. A poor man w ho was recently in custody of a baililf in New-York, under commitment for debt, and was on his way to prison, prevailed upon him to take three lottery tickets in payment of the debt, it being all his worldly possessions, the value of the tickets did not cover the amount of the debt, but as the chance of payment was desperate he received them, and liberated the prisoner; the creditor was so pleased with the compromise of the bailiff that-he olfered him one of the tickets the officer said he

would not have that number, upon which the creditor let him choose another, which drew a.V.ii- the one returned drew 25,000In narrating this circumstance,, the editor of the New York Commercial Advertiser makes the following concluding remarks. Such are the Frolics, or rather the caprice of Fortune, w ho, w ith the aid of Jus
