VIKCENNE S, SEPTEMBER 3, 1825. FIRE!!! The Hncnines Tire Company it is hoped will not forget that this evening, at six o'clock, is their regular time of meeting business of the utmost importance to the society will be introduced, it is therefore honed that everv member will attend. There has, within a few days been a handsome rise in the Wabash one flat boat has taken advantage of the rise, and started for Orleans a second is about starting. Late Foreign Intelligence. FROM ENGLAND. The fast sailing ship Rraganza, Capt. Allen, arrived at New-York, August 7th, bringing dates of the 22d of June, from London, and of the 24th, from Liverpool. The apprehension of the cotton holders, "5ays the New-York American, have been realized, by the further fall in the price of that staple. The market, however, at the last date, had somewhat recovered its activity, and a little improved in price. It is obvious that much will depend, as to future prices, upon the quantity gone and to go from the United States. That the export will exceed 500,000 bales, is pretty well ascertained; though by how much, it is not so easy to 8ay perhaps by 50 or 60,000 bales. In July, however, there will have been very heavy arrivals in Liverpool, and we must expect that the next accounts will, in all probability, be more discouraging, though, perhaps, the depression will only be temporary. The harvests of Europe arc likely to Tjrovc as abundant as our own, and the farmers will pjroan under superfluity. The Greeks continue in their triumphant career. The ocean, which seems to be their clement, has been illuminated with another bonfire of the infidel squadrons. We have received, says the Courier of " the 2 1 st, the following, important intelligence from Trieste, under date of June 7. "A message of joy for the Hellenes. I wrote to you, on the 3 1st of May, that reports were spread, here of manv victories gained by the Greeks, but I would not relate them to you, befote the confirmation arrived. Now, however, I can tell you, as certain, and free from all doubt, that on Wednesday, the 6th, ('8.) of May, towards midnight, and at daylight, on Thursday, the 7th, (l'Jth,) the glorious and holy day of the Assumption, the brave Greeks burnt the whole of the remainder of the Egyptian fleet, in the port of Navarino. At the same time, the troops under the President, Gondiiriottis, and Mavromichcelis. fell on the Egyptian army, beat it completely, and made themselves masters of their camp Few, very few Egyptians escaped to Motion. This glorious and unexampled victory has freed Navarino from the enc- - my. We have also learned that Mchcmed Ali, the Satrap of Egypt, is dead. If it be not true, that he is already dead, he will die, on learning the entire des- . truction of his formidable expedition, which wc have ccnfirmcd, from ail quarters." PARIS, juke IS. The Austrian Observer, of the 9th, contains further extracts fumi the Hydia Gazette, frdm April 22, to May 6 We must observe, that ve hate ;ivcn much later news from the Moica, and that if the Greek Gazettes do not mention the burning of the Egyptian ficet, it is because it happened two days later. The Friend of the laws, No. 108, relates the taking of Odysseus, who, at the head of a Turkish corps, was compelled by Goura, to lay down his arms at Artalancli. This traitor has been conducted to Napoli di Romania. The Gazette of Athens confirms this important news, and adds, tint the Turks, in their rage, massacred all the 'christians, Livcnates, carrying away the woman and children. The Friend cf the Laws of the 6th May, publishes a letter from (ien. Goura himself, dated Dantia, 25th April. He savs that 500 Turks surrendered . with Odysseus. On the 21st. there was a severe action, in which the baibarians lost many men in the plains of Turcochori, which is the famous plain of Lcuctra, immortalized by a victoiy of Epaminondes. On the 24th, the equally famous plain of Chcronca, was the theatre of a new victory of the Greeks. The barbarians had manv killed and wounded. The Gazettes of Leghorn and Genoa announce the arrival in those ports, of vessels from the Ionian Islands, which confitm all the accounts brought to Trieste by the Corfu packet boat, viz: the destruction of the Egyptian fleet, and the shutting up of the remains of Ibraham'e army in Mcdon.

VAtlf 3 , JUKE 16. Captures on the coast of Africa. The French squadron, on the coast of Africa, have captured the following French ves

sels, tor mlringing the law prohibitin the slave trade: Le Telegraph, La Ga o prieusc, L'Antonia, Le Glancur, L'Assurancc, Le Maria Magdeleine, L'Eugenc and L'Alcide. The two first have been condemned at Cayenne, and the others arc to be proccded against. Moniteur, Extract of a letter from Madrid. "The kiri& is in a atatc of terror at the progress and audacity of Larega,(an exofficer of the Constitutional army very wealthy.) who still scours the country near Aranjuez, and defies even the body guard of the king; but the chief cause of terror, is an officer of cavalry, who has sworn to avenge the murder of nine of the band which he has formed. These men were executed here the other day, ami cued, calling upon their captain to punish their murderers. A detachment of lancers of the royal guard, were sent out against the band two days ago, but they were shamefully defeated; and two of them fell by the sword of the captain, whose head has since had a price set upon it. A larger body of troops was ordered out, but they refused to march, unless they received their arrears of pay This is now the tone of all, and Ferdinand threatens to raise money by a forced loan of sixty millions of reals upon the merchants of Madrid and Cadiz. The greatest misery pervades the country, and the fever is appearing in many places. In Andalusia, the people are starving, corn being beyond their means of purchase. Fifty miles from the province, it is only atone fourth of its price in Andalusia, but as nine out of ten of the convoys fall into the hands of the Constitutionalists, little can he obtained." new yoiik, August 0 The Cadmus, from Havre, has brought Paris papers to the 30th, and London the 29th June, inclusive Great Britain. Mr. King, our minister to the court of St. James, arrived at Liverpool in the Pacific, on the 26th June. Adm. lord Cochrane arrived at Portsmouth on the 27th June, in the Brazilian frigate Pcrangua. Spain It was reported at Pam, on the 25th June, that serious disturbances had broken out at Madrid. Letters fiom that capital, of the 18th, mention the removal from office of the ministers of war and justice, and that considerable agitation existed among the rovalist volunteers. The captures of vessels by the Colombian privateers, had become so extensive that the underwriters at Lloyd's had raised the premium on Spanish property to 20 percent. Vessels arriving from Havana, were not permitted to enter Cadiz, from an apprehension that the yellow fever was on board. They were in consequence seized by the patiiots, as the French ships which were stationed there could not protect them, without committing a breach of neutrality. The late viceroy of Peru had left Bay -onnc for Madrid, where it was expected he would speedily be brought to trial Thoie who capitulated with him persisted in belie vim- that France would furnish trcops to enable Spain to retake her former South A me tie an possessions. Canterac had addressed a letter to the aditor of a French paper, denying the authenticity of a letter, which lately fppeared in ; the Colombian papers; said to have been I addressed by him to Bolivar. He says, t tint he had no other communication with i the Liberator that) a mere letter of eti quette. A The Augsburg Gazette contains intelligence from Constantinople to the 26th islt. from which it appears that in the action between the Greek Sc Egyptian fleets off Navarino, in which the lonner were victorious, admiral Miaoulis set fire with his own hands to the Asia, frigate of 44 guns, which blew up with its crew of 400 men. Twenty six other vessels became the prey of the flames, besides the powder magazines of Modon An Algcrine squadron, consisting of ten brigs ami several schooners, was in sight of Modon, but, upon beholding this catastrophe, it made for Malta. Letters from Malaga of the 1st, state, that every day brings intelligence of some new capture by the Colombian corsairs, one of the most formidable of which is called 4 the General Santandar." Accounts from Barcelona, up to 1st. mention the recent capture of 6 or 7 merchant vessels. We learn by a letter from Zmtc, that on the Uth ill t. a British frigate arrived there from Missolonghi, with intelligence of the Greeks having made a general sortie from the fortresses of Anatolico and Missolonghi, in which they repulsed the Turks, who fell back upon Aspropotamos Several French officers in the service of the pacha of Egypt, lately taken prisoners by the Greeks in the Morca have

ciaimed their liberty, en the ground that J they had been tacitly allowed, if not encouraged by their government, to accept commissions in the Egyptian army. The Augsburg Gazette, states, that the late defeat of Ibrahim Pacha at Nayarino, and the expressions of friendship which the Greeks receive from the Anglo Ionian government, leads them to hope for the early recognition of their independence by England. Wc learn that the subscriptions in France to aid the cause of the Greeks, augmented daily. The towns, and even villages of the departments, seem desi-

rous to emulate the capital in alfording succour to that valient people. Letters of the 24th ult. from Zantc, state that Stounaris and Liacata, who commanded the garrison of Missolonghi, have attacked with 800 men a Turkish corps of 2000 men who had approached that place, completely defeated them, Sc driven them I to the distance of several Icasiues from the fortress. il First divisi'iv ' f the Greek feet May 13, 1825 Ycsu t !ay evening, with a fa vorable wind, we entered, past Sapienza, into the gulf of Modon, where 20 of the enemy's vessels were anchored under the cannons of the fortress. On this squadron our intrepid firemen threw themselves with six lire ships, and with little difficulty, they succeeded in setting them on fire, whilst we, with the lest qf our vessels, pursued other ships of the enemy which were in full sail. The vessels burned in the port of Modon, consisted of two fri gates, three corvettes, five brigs of war, and the rest transports. We are informcd that one of the frigates was a cut down a gun vessel oi me pacna ot igypt, and the other was a 3G gun mgatc ; two of the corvettes carried 26 guns each. The Divine Providence aided us still further, rirwl lirminrht rifiriiit thp nm ! i'o ilootrnrtlnn ! of the enemy. The fire produced bv this conflagration communicated itself to the fortress, and the town of Modon, for five hours, appeared one volume of flames, St then we hcaid one of the most terrible explosions which ever took place. This leads us to imagine that the powder magazines took tire, and, in that case, every one, and every tlnnc there, must have pcrishcri." rAiirs, June 25. Extract of a letter from Trieste, dated June 10. After the splendid naval victory which the Greeks

gained in the night of the 12th of May, we present their claims before the determicould not expect to sec Navarino capitu- nation of the court thereon, they will be

late yet this has happened, if we may believe letters From Corfu dated 30th of May. However it may be, the possessi on of the place can be cf no advantage to the Turks after the loss of their fleet, und their situation in the Morca is not the less critical. Recent letters from Ispahan, announce that the king of Persia has abdicated the throne in favor of his eldest son. Abbas Mil za. The king of the two Sicilies has, for the first time, sent a minister or consul to the United States. This may be a preparatory step to the recognition of the inde pendence of the new Republics of the South. GEXER.1L SUMMARY. Henry Pratt, En. has raised Mocha Coffee, at his elegant country scat, Lemon Hill, near the upper ferry, Schuvkill. Munitions of war. The cannon balls, &c. which have been for some years in the public storehouses at Sackett's Harbor, are now under marching orders from the W ar Department, bound to the city of New York. It is said they will amount to near five thousand tons. A Share of Stock in the Dismal Swamp Canal Company, belonging to the estate of Gen. Washington, was lately sold at public auction in Alexandria for 8 1 2, ICO. There were several bidders, and Judge Washington was the purchaser. The original cost of the share was one thousand pounds Virginia money, or S3333. Kentucky. We have obtained the names of all the members elected to the legislature at the late election and the best information respecting the political opinions of those members we derive from the "Argus" and "Harbinger.' The former says, there will be 64 or 65 for the Old judges and 35 or 36 for the new; the latter says "for the old court 67; for the new. 33" so that it would seem that there arc about two to one in favor of the old eourt. Gazette. The Dry of Algiers has resorted to a singular mode of conquering the lov e of celibacy, by oidaining that after a certain period, every bachelor of more than 20 vcarsofage shall receive, at least or.ee a ' day, in public, a sound flogging. 1 While Gov.

It is probable that the Court Martial will make its record complete this cvening, so as to transmit the report to the Department without further delay. As the proceedings arc very voluminous; tho decision of the President cannot be expectcd for some days, and until that is known, the sentence of the Court will not be announced. A'at. Journal.
