Accounts received at, Boston, di rect from .Smyrna, so'tytc as the SOili September, represent the ciiuse of the Greeks to be in a prosperous condi tion. The latest intelligence from the Morca, Stated that the Greeks had the upper hand of the Turks, having “ completely destroyed their army, of 22,000 near Corinth.'’ — This seems to refer to some new suc cesses of the patriots'since the dis comfiture of the Turkish army which threatened to overwhelm the Morca. After being defeated, it will be recol lected that Chourschid Pacha, with .the remains of his anjiy, took up a position at Corinth, where, it seems highly probable, he was attacked by the victorious Greeks, and again com pelled to retreat. By the same ac counts it appears, that the Persians had defeated the Ottoman army of 12,000 men, and were actually near .Kzerum. The Turks are stated to be making .groat preparations at Scalanova to ,attack Samos. The Saiuiots are a very brave people, and with such an example before them as Scio, it was expected they would defend them selves to the last possible extremity lather, than surrender. If we were to form an opinion as to the affairs of the Greeks on the statements con tained in the “ Oriental Spectator/’ a Trench paper published in Smyrna, we should regard the cause of liberty in 'Jhe peninsula as next to hopeless. The Editor of that paper, however, appears so much biassed in, fayur of and deals so largely In va<me assertions, unsupported either by dates or circumstances,. that no greater faith ought to be placed in his representations than those of the A- Austrian Sr most of tlje French journals, which are known to be under the immediate influence pf the “ Holy Alliance.” • ■ It w as reported at Smyrna, that In. ycumsecjnencp of the Captain Pacha of the Turkish fleet, (then in jthe gulf of Pip ras) having seized an lonian ves* sol, and Imaged the Captain who was conveying jiroViskms to the Greeks, the British Officer, Captain Hope, of the fthine frigate, had demanded res tlpitlub of the yegscl taken, and satis faction for hangipg the Captain; that Captain Hope’s first Lieutenant, who earn' d the jiie»sage,treceived for an swer, “he would do well to go about his ■ business, w lip would rbn the risk of b,tfi(tg luiog alsothat on (his being reimii.-tl to Captain H.;Jie wenl on **" tffiifrd TKti - Parfla’s-ship -personally! ami WH.s replied > in the same ialangwage the same import; and that, in consequence of this treatment, the British officer had called to his assistance five other men , of war, then fcmizing in the Archi- s polago, with which he anchored op- . posile the Turkish fleet. The result ] of this manoeuvre was not exactly , known, (hough some pretended to say i an engagement had taken place, in which some Turkish vessels were sunk. This seemed rather exagge rated, but that’some dispute existed, there was not the smallest doubt. It is farther stated, that the Turkish go vernment had not only refused to send a Minister to (he Congress of Verona; but lias solemnly protested against the interference of the European so . vereigns in their affairs with the Greeks; who* they assert, are as much their subjects, as the Polandcrs are subjects to Russia, and the East Indians subject to England. Mar s naoud adds, that when he finds he cannot manage his subjects, and their - affairs, he shall call for the intrrfer cnee of his Christian neighbors, hut • not before.— N, V. Com, Auv. ? «» I- A letter from an officer on hoard ’ the U. S. schooner Alligator, to his friend in Washington, gives a more 11 interesting account of the battle with r the Pirates on the 9th Inst, in which Captain Allen was killed, than any s before published.

Dally Advertiser. “In the cabin and run were a number, of bottles filled, with powder, and slow matches through the corks, some of which having been lighted, and extinguished, it appeared evident that the pirates had set fire to them on first leaving her, expecting she would blow up soon after our board ing, but returning so instantly on board, they extinguished the matches, and (lie last time they were too close ly driven in abandoning her to take time to refire them.” “ While in Matanzas, we were in formed that the pirates had lost in the action 14 killed, and that a great number were taken on shore the same afternoon, wounded: among whom was the second in command, shot through the body and since reported dead. “ I consider it the most hazardous and dangerous action in which I have been engaged.—l cannot but deeply lament the fate of portr Allen, on whom a widowed mother ami orphan sister were almost wholly dependant. Leaving them so appeared to be his only regret in meeting his death, and t his last wishes were, that tile Govern ment, in whose service he had fallen, should in requital, give due credit to his name, and extend its protecting | aid v fo them.” The British Nary. —The follow ing is a schedule of the vessels consti , tilling the Navy of England, accord* , ing to the official returns made up at the Admiralty Office on the 25tlt of September lust and issued, on the first of October.

Recent information of the multipli ed outrages and depredations, which have been committed on our seamen and commerce, by the Pirates in the West Indies and Gulf of Mexico, ext emplified by the death of a very me ritorious officer, scorns to call foi some prompt and decisive measures on the part of government. All the' public vessels adapted to that sendee,; which can be spared from other inJ dispensable duties, are already eraJ ployed in it; but, from tlje knows ledge which has been acquired of thq places from whence these issue, and to which they escape front danger, it appears (hat it will require a particular kind of force, capable of pursuing them into the, shallow wa ters to which they retire, effeclu{sj/| to suppress them. I submit to die consideration of Congress the pro priety of organizing such a force lor that important object. JAMES MONROE. Washington. Glh Dec, 1822; It now remains .with Congr’"s to adopt that system of order, recom mended in the above message, and, calculated to quiet the clamours of those who are ever on the watch to detect some error, real or imaginary, in the political conduct of our worthy, able and beloved chief magistrate. Washington Ucpuh. Among the memorials presented to Congress yesterday, we notice one from Mr. Dp. Kraft, of this city',.rela tive to a plan for making a digest of the public documents, which have grown to such a bulk as, in their pre sent composed state, to he very in convenient for reference.

Tlic first bill which has passed ci ther House of Congress at this ses sion, is an act of justice too long with held.- We speak of the bill which yesterday passed the House of Re presentatives for indemnifying our citizens who, when Michigan was held by the British during the late war, advanced their .all to ransom the captives brought in by the Indians in the British service, it would be a reproach to the Nation, bad the de lay been deliberate and intentional, that indemnity for an expenditure 'of this sort should have been so long de layed.—Nat.

Earthquake. —A correspondent of the (lazetfc in Baltimore County has transmitted the following:— “On Wednesday last,"about 11 o’clock, we experienced a smart shock of an Earthquake, which caused some considerable alarm during its continuance. It commenced with a report similar to the discharge of a cannon, which was immediately suc ceeded by a roaring noise like a chim ney on fire. My overseer tied out of his house, under an impression that its old and tottering walls were com ing down: in fact, it caused some snow to slide off the roof. The A merican Eagle,so conspicuously fixed over the principal entrance into the Arsenal, (the gate-way’) and perched over an English bomb-shell, was throw n from its station, and lost his wings in the fall.” It Is necessary to remark, that the Eagle was noticed by the commander ot the Garrison, as being in rather a tottering state, and it was his intention to have had it taken down, and more firmly fixed, that very day, so we are not to look on the tail as a bad omen.” [Baltimore American.
