We gave in a hasty postci ipt, last evening, the substance ol the inteliigcne c ractived by the Don Quixotte. We at ptcsent add some further extracts. In iclatjon to the alleged massacre in Candia, of the (heck inhabitants, wc have exam incd the Trench papers (the Massager elcs Chambers, Journal elcs Debate, and Gazette de prance) ftom 23d Dec. to 5th Jan. inclusive, and find only tite following at tide in the Journal des Debats, of Dec. 3u. Ancon a, December 10. The latest letters from Poros and Syra, renew the subject of the massacre in the cities of Candia. Not a single Greek survived in these cities all are said to have been massacred, together with all who were of their re ligion. Nothing is heard in the Archipelago but rumors of the defeats of the Russians and the Turks feel stimulated anew by their success in their former resolution of elcstrovinr the Greeks. The order of the Sultan is net forgotten, "to bring him the ashes of the Pelopunesus." The foreign admirals arc under no misapprehension on this subject, but they arc fettered by their instructi ons. The masac;cs of Candia, however, has roused them item their inactivity. The

curienccs, redoubled its efforts to succour Candia, and to blockade its towns. 1 he admirals have also declared that these towns shall be blockaded by sea, ardour letters say that this blockude isscvtidy maintained. iutrshurg Gaz. Notwithstanding the apparent accuracy of eletail in this statement, wc deern the whole story vci) doubtful. No dates arc given and an event of such a nature could hardly be Jelt on the authority cf private letters', or Smyrna papci s.

From the Host on Courier. nonr.AN Wc saw last evening a letter wntien to his father by a young man, employee on board thebiig Palestine, belonging to this port, dated Smyrna, Nov. I, 1828, frcm which we have been permitted to copy the following extract "1 suppose you recollect Morgan who made such a distuibancc in Amcilca a few years since, lie is now at ihi3 place, lie lias turned Turk for life, and w ears a tin ban. lie spoke to me yesterday when I went ashore, and told me the whole afiair ot his leaving his native land, which I shall relate to you on my anival "This intelligence is stiongly corroborative of other reports of the same kind, which, at various times, have come fiom Smyrna. Wc should think that those w ho have bee n so deeply implicated in the abduction of Morgan, if they had any desire to icmovc the suspicions that tiow ham; over them, would aelont some mca-

su'c to asccitain the tru.h or falsity of these

icports. li Morgan be actually alive in Smyrna, there couhl be no trcat difficulty in

settling the fact. The expense of a special agent would be nothing in cf mparison with the importance of the information.

A curious fact in Yatzircl Ilistcru. A few

days ago four ravens were seen alighting on a dunghill in the vicinity of the General Hos

pital near this city. A person working at the frame of a building, icmaikcd that lheie was a stir in the party, and soon saw that three of the ravens had attacked the fourth, and in a minute they tore it to pieces and were eatir g it. T he peison went up and took the cat case. The want of food, which the severity of the weather and depth of snow he'd caused, is supposed to be the reason of the ravens thus destroying each other.
