We learn that a very large meeting was held last week, in Anne Arundel, forming a part of the Baltimore electoral district, at Porters tavern, where nearly 500 people were assembled, consisting of the most valuable citizens of the county. George Winchester, Esq. and Judge Thomas B. Dorsey,the electoral candidates, addressed the meeting; and it is with satisfaction wc can state, upon the very best information, that a most decided majority was found to be in favor of the Statesman John Quincy Adams. The friends of Mr. Adams in this district may rest perfectly satisfied, that they form a triumphant majority. Baltimore Patriot. New Jersey has been much misrepresented and is still by many abroad and at home mi-understood, on the Presidential question. Wherever public opinion has been ascertained, it has been found that Mr. Adams had numerous friends. Re

cently township meetings, fully attended, have been holden in the county of Essex, for the purpose of expressing the people's views as to the Presidency. In evert township, so far as we have seen any account, a decided majority was for Mr. Adams. Even in the township of Newark, where perhaps the influence against Mr. Adams is stronger than in any other township, a majority of voices was found in his favor. Geueral Jackson, in Essex, has verv fewadvocates; the contest there is between Crawford and Adams. Upon a review of the whole state, and a pretty close examination ofthe several parts of it, we still maintain the opinion w hich we have more than once expressed, that the people of New Jersey prefer Mr. Adams to any other candidate. V. Bnms. Fndanian. From Me Port Gibson Correspondent, Supt. 2. Having understood that the Hon. Chancellor Clarke had arrived from Columbia, where he had been for two or three weeks, holding the regular term ofthe Chancery Court of the eastern District, and beint; desirious to collect from the most authentic sources, and disseminate as speedily as possible, all information in relation to the great question now pending before the people, I yesterday despatched a messenger with a note to his honor, requesting him to communicate for publication such information on the subject as he was possessed of. His reply is subjoined, and I think the mot sceptical must now be convinced of the truth of what I have repeated over and over again, that John Quincy Adams i certain of the electoral or congressional vote of Mississippi. To thr editor of the Correspondent. Dear Sir: When at Columbia, I heard a good deal of conversation among the members ofthe bar, of that section ofcountry, and was informed and understood, a great change had taken place in the public opinion, as regards the Presidential election, that General Jackson was losing friends; and that Mr. Adams had a large majority in the eastern counties. You, are at liberty to use this information in the way you please. Iam perfectly inditfercnt on the subject ofthe Presidential election, and my information was derived as above stated. Respectfully, vours. j. C. CLARKE.

Baptists. The total number of Baptists throughout the U. States, is computed at present to be about 225,000. The increase during the last year was about 12,000, which has been nearly the annual average increase since The number of associations of this sect of Christians is 184, among which arc 3,534 churches and 2,219 minister?.

From the New-York Patriot. ANOTHER SCIO. By the recent arrivals from Europe we are enabled to lay before our readers the particulars of the conquest and massacre of the Greeks of the little island of Ipsara, by the Turkish barbarians, aided by the vessels of some Christian nations, the flags of which might have been seen flying in the midst of the Ottoman fleet. The subsequent letter will doubtless be found to be most circumstantial relative to the horrible aflair: "Zante, July 1C. I informed you in one of my former letters, that large sums of money had been sent from Leghorn to the Captain Pacha; I mentioned the houses which had made the payments, the captains employed in transporting it, and the pleasure anticipated by the enemies of the Greeks who depended upon treason. I pointed out to you the person who was directing all the intrigues. A part of the manceuvers have 6ueccded; the standard of the Cross is again bathed with the blood of martyrs. The Capt. Pacha, Khoreb, who had been lying at anchor at Mitylene, for two months, provided with money, convinced that he had no chance of success from force, resolved to employ corruption. Being informed that the garrisou of the fortoflpsara consisted of 1,500 Schypetars, mercenaries, and infamous like all those who sell their blood for monev, he addressed himself to them, and gave them earnest of a greater reward promising each one, 1,000 piastres if they would surrender the batteries they were appointed to de-

lend. 1 he thing was kept secret, and the Ipsariots, informed that the attack was to be directed against their Island, thought

themselves in a condition to repulse the, . . . - i

barbarians, when the i urkish squadron appeared off the island on July 4th. A

part ofthe Ipsariots kept in ofling to fali ij

on the enemv at the moment when the ad-1

tien should begin. The Turks were U be attacked by tire-ships while tiie batte

ries on shore were firing at the ships. J The people were animated with an exceV j lent spirit; men, women, old and young, j received the sacrament, and prepared to j die fighting. The labanim was hoisted at the telegraphs, and all the people, with the i sign of the cross on their foreheads, implor- j ed of Heaven to grant them victorv, or

the palm of martyrdom. On the 4th, at 5 o'clock in the morning, the Turkish advanced squadron doubled the Cape and approached the harbor; the batteries were silent; the forts garrisoned by the Schypetars hoisted Turkish colors. The Christians hurried eagerly to the spot, and found the guns had been spiked during the night

by the traitors, w ho immediately began to j

tire on their lellow christians. ''Every thing is lust save yourselves." At this unfortunate signal, the seamen of Ipsara began to tire at the Turks, whose large ships could not come near the shore. All the Christians who w ere at baud embarked on board the vessel?, and some of them escaped. At 8 o'clock the Osrnans landed:

and the Schypetars, to whose treason they j were indebted for success, were their first victims. The Greeks, who could not get I

on board ship took retuge in the mountains and the town was set on fire. The whole ofthe 4th was passed in fighting'' and in murdering. On the 5th the Captain Pacha caused it to be published, that he would give 500 Piasters to whoever should 1 . ! l r-w i 1

On the Cth, Khoreb j blew up the forts; 7,300 heads of women,! old men and children were hung to the shrouds and the yards of his ships. The!

At day-break we again saw the Egyptian vessels advance. The attack was made very briskly and continued till four o'clock in the afternoon. The squadron of Ismael Gibraltar was then lost sight of. We hoped that we had saved ourselves, and, alter having returned thanks to God we looked after our w ounded. But on the 10th Ismael Gibraltar,followed by the greater partofhis forces, directed his march on the strongest part ofthe island, and began a terrible fire.

Four or five hundred of our countrymen perished with arms in their hands; the remainder took refuge in the mountains and the neighbouring islands. The greater part of our women and children-have fallen into the hands of the enemy v' Asa trifling retaliation for the above enormities, the following w ill be read w ith interest: Constantinople, July 13. After the arrival of the news sent by the Captain Pacha ofthe conquest and destruction of the island of Ipsar.i, and w inch was confirmed by the pacha of Smyrna, the F.nglish Legation here lat night received by an express from Smyrna, dated the 7lh of of July, the news that all the Turkish troops that landed at Ipara,are destroyed; that twenty-live ships of Hydra and Spezzia, at the moment the landing at Ipsara took place, sailed into the middle of the Turkish fleet, did immeso damage to it, took and sunk a great number of small vessels captured three frigates, and so dama

The women rivalled the men in defending the island and themselves. All fought while a hope remained of destroying an enemy, and then they destrovthcmselves, by poignards or by leaping into the sea: the women with their children in their arms! It was the most desperate battle ever fought, and it has already been stated, that the Ipsariots fired one oV their own magazines and destroyed hundreds of themselves and enemies together crying liberty or death It appears, however, that about 2000 ofthe Islanders retired to two forts, and there maintained themselves tin-

til relieved, but were so separated from

incir countrymen that they could render no eflicient service in the fight. Very fewengaged in the battle escaped, but ainone

them was the famous Danari, conductor of

tire ships, who, after fighting like a hgress robbed of her whelps, was seized upon by a few friends round him, and carried oil to Hydra, from whence he immediately returned with a fleet of 70 or CO vessels. The Greeks then attacked the Turkish fleet, and tired and blew up three of their frigates, commanded by the vice admiral, rear admiral and sub-admiral, the captain Pacha very narrowly escaped, much damaged. They also captured several other vessels, and compelled the Turks toflv to Mitylyne. The victory was decisive, and the Greeks then landed on Ipsara, ard being joined by the 2000 in the forts, attacked the barbarians left to keep possession of the island, nearly C000 strong, who were all cut to pieces. Among the spoils that the captain Pacha has sent to Constantinople from Intara, were two thousand human ears!!
