Extract of a private letter of May 12. from Napoli di Romania ; Colocotroni has marched with troops to occupy the passages between Patras 5c Tripolitza. Fabvier has sent away several companies of regular forces, and their number is now reduced to 2,200 Men, but these at e full of valor. Ibrahim lost so many ntcn at the capture of Missolonghi that it is impossible for him to do any thing before he receives fresh troops from Egypt. He has only three thousand men as reg

Orders have been given, in countermand of those previously given, lor evacuating the strong p.ccs in Spain held by the French troops. It is even said that the French forces will be greatly augmented, and twenty additional regiments collected on the Adour. A great quantity of powder has been sent to Pumpeluna. The Augsburg Gazette states that a coolness had urisv.ii between the French Cabinet Sc the Court of Rome. The same paper arids: that the Pope has made to the French Government energetic representations in favor of the Greeks. 1 he prosecution ot the Abbe do la Mennais had offended the Papal bee.

It is said that money cannot be employed in London at a higher rate ot iuieicat than (wo per cent. It is stated, in the Globe, that the Comet steam vessel has been placed by the Ministcry at the disposal of Mr. Perkins, lot the purpose of experiment. Mr. Perkins plan consists iu giviug to steam engines the propelling power with so small a quantity of lucl that the expense will bo very trilling. Ascvciy fact relative to the survivors of the time that tried men's souls,' is one of peculiar interest at the picseut moment, it may be wed to mention that Jonn Jay is the only surviving member ul the Congress of 1774.

The Commisssioncrs of the Porte left Constantinople on the 9ih of June l. rthe fortress ol Akerman.cn the borders of the Danube, to cooler with the Russian Commissioneis. A cessation of bloodshed in Gicecc is said to have been requited of ihc Uivan by several European powers. The meditation of Great Britain in favor of the Greeks, which was offered by the Hon. Stratford Canning, had been definitively rejected. Lord Cochrane, it is understood, to take command of all the Greek naval forceThere were three steamboats in his squadron, oneof which is of considerable force. He had arrived at Almira, in Grenada, & would sail on the 12th of June. Count Eugene d'Harcoutt, Dclavignc, deputies of the Greek committee, and others, had sailed for Smyrna, to treat with the Greek government on that important subject. There intention is said to be to proclaim the Duke of Nemours, second son of the Duke of Orleans, for King of Giecce.

Fire at Crons tad f. . On the 2lstof June, a great fire broke out at Cionstadt, which destroyed a great quantity of provisions, prepared for the merchant vessels, and some wooden buildings, including twenty-four stores, 16 shops, 8cc. The ships were removed from the harbor for security. 1,200,000 boards, and immense quantities of hemp and potash were also destroyed. A fire occurred in Drury Lane, London, on the morning of the 1 1th ult. Several houses were burned, one life is lost, and considerable property destroyed Nearly all the town of Frederickshall was burnt to the ground on the 10th of June. A gunpowder factory blew up on the 20th of June near Christiansand, Norway, and twenty-five workmen perished. On the 23d, two shocks of an earthquake were felt at Inspruck ; and on the next morning one so violent was experienced that the inhabitants were rocked in their beds. icn. Lallcmand is said to have entered the Greek service. He had considerable funds at his disposal, and intended to

purchase two frigates in the U. S. The Algcrine corsairs were multiplying fast on the coast of Spain in the Mediterranean. The consequence was a general stagnation of mercantile business, as no merchant dares to hazard his goods, even a board of coasters. The arrival of the ship Emerald, at Boston, 23 days from Liverpool, has put us in possession of English advices of July 21. There were rumors of disturbance among the laborers at Blackburn ; that the magistrates read the riot act, but were toid by the people that u they valued neither them nor their military they wanted woik as the means of procuring food, or a supply of food without work, and that, one way or the other, they would have it !'

Letters from Vienna state that despatches were sent to Baron Olensclls, at Constantinople, on hearing of the arrival of Lord Cochrane in the Arehipilago, with a squadron to join the Greeks. The object ol the mission, it is supposed, is, to inform the Ottoman Government that Lord Cochrane having ceased to hold a commission in the British naval service, is at liberty tf enter the service of any foreign power whatever. It is supposed that events which recently occurred at Constantinople, must have consideiable cffct in fixing the ultimate destiny of the Mahommcdan Empire, either in resuscitating the Ottoman power, or accelerating its downtal. Reference is made to the revolt of the Janissaries, ar.d the proposed introduction of European discipline in the Tuikish army. It is said that the latter was determined upon a grand council in April, iu conjunction with the chief t-fficers of the Jannissaries themselves. Objections were, however, urged by the troops, and the result anticipated was a suppression of the Janissa lies throughout the empire, and a new organization of the '1 urkish army, on the European system.

Pcikes and Carlos Beneske, Commissioners from Guatimala, who have been negotiating for the Canal, to be soon opened fiom the river Guatimala to the Pacific Ocean, the distarce of which to be cut through fand is ascertained to be only 13 miles, and that believed to be not dificult.

Seventeen young gentlemen were licenced to practice law by the Supreme Court of Ohio, in its progiess thro Miami County. The Cincinnati Gazette laments the fatuity that induces so many young men to become lawyers, and states that as a profession, they are about as needyas their worst enemies could wish them. They cannot unite manual labor with their legal pursuits, and consequently those who are most urgent and indefatigable in search of public offices, are unsuccessful or broken down lawyers. Hydrcfihobia This ofifirobium mcdiccrum, has become at Lyons, a mere bagatelle, and has completely lost its terrific character by nipping it in the bud. It appears that about a year ago, a man was bitten by a dog who died raving mad ; but that his wife without delay extracted the poison by utki!f the vjouni : this vua

after wards repeated at therequest of the, physician, and no hydrophobia super vened in either. She afterwards went by the name of La Chien Sue, and her example was this year followed by three oomen who go by the same name, and whoso business it has been during the hot months to suck the wounds of all who arc batten by any mad animal. Ten francs is their charge for the first sucking, and five for every succeeding one Ol 38 cases which occurred since the first of June, not one terminated fatally nor even experienced the symptoms of hydrophobia, although, the animals were raving mad, and died in that state. A cheafi and elegant Summer drink. Vinegar and water, sweetened with sugar or molasses, is the best drink that can be contrived in warm weather. It is pleasant and coding ; it promotes perspiration, and resists putrefaction. Vinegar Sc water constituted the only drink of the soldiers of the Roman Republic ; and it is well known that they marched and fought in a warm climate, and beneath a

load ot arms weighing 60 pounds. Boar, a wealthy farmer in Palestine, we read in the bible, tieated his reapers with nothing but bread dipped in vinegar. The custom of swallowing spirits and water is pernicious in every way, while this beverage, on the contrary, is pleasant and healthy, and is not liable to produce what the spirit invariaiably coes, namely, ft ver and head aphe.Z.cncforz Oracle of Healt. Mr. John Hatbaugh, of Frederick co. in a note to the editor of the Examiner, states, that on July 22d. his daughter was bitten on the ankle by a copper-head snake, the bite of which is considered fully as dangerous as that of the rattle snake T he mouth of a common glass bottle, fiUcd with whiskey, was applied to the wound for three quarters of an hour, and when taken away, the poison was found to be nearly all extracted. Tho poison was distinctly seen passing from the wound into the bottle. A perfect cure was effected by this simple cure. AV" York, August 18 Capt.
