following are extracts:
“Selim. October 28
“Since the death oP fee heroic
Macro Bozz’is i, bis brother Con
stantine has made himself known;
aod. according to a letter tlron Li
no, dated October 13, and which
has been received at Mssa. he has
avenged the dead* cd’his brother in
a manner worthy of him. He is
said to fu*ve completely defeated th
Pacha of Scutari, wh > had advanc
ed **ith fresh troops, towards the
end of September, and to have de
stroyed the greater part of his army.
Among (he prisoners were 609 La
tin Christians, whom Rozzari sent *
to their homes, after reproaching
them for having fought against their
t hristmn brethren, May all the
Chrisiiaos of the West appreciate
his conduct.
“According to the latest private
letters from Macedonia* and Thes
saly, wc learn that as far as the
Peloponnesus is concerned, the
Greeks have nothing more to
fear. It is true that bags full of
human ears, stated to be those of
slain Greeks, and for which the ■
Porte, according to ancient custom*
pays a certain sum, aro sent from
time to time as trophies to Constan
tinople. But the Franks are no
longer deceived by this, as it is a
certain fact, that the'Turks cot off
the ears of their own dead, which
they deliver to the Porto as thote of
Christians.
PORTO C ABF.LLO.
The atta* k and defence of Porto
Cahello, is almost an unexampled
instance of bravery in both th*
contending parties. We extract
from the official despatch the fol
lowing particulars. His excellen
cy General Paez. knowing the ob
stinacy of the besieged, put in exe
cution a plan which he had hither
to been prevented from realizing
from the want of means, and be de
termined to take the place by as
sault. To accomplish this it be
came necessary to ford the lake. ;
At 10 o’clo* k at night, 500 men un- ;
der the command of Mqjor Manuel j
Calx, favoured by the darkness, ad
van ed as far as he custom house,
through mod ai t! water, where (he
soldiers could hardly keep their foot
ing. x o o'c who has (reversed this
p*f can imagine ibe diffi ulties
which the troops had to surmount,
in parsing a pla *e which (he enemy
considered impassable. \t half
past two in die nmrni-tg they reach
ed the land, and had scarcely time
t farm before they were discover
ed hv the enemy. Out they immedi
ately made ■ licuiselves masters of
two bastions, after havi <g burned
and bavooejed ‘he enemy* who pre
ferred death to the aba-diMi.ie it of
their posts. In less than half lmi
h"ur they were in p ssession of all
the fortifications in die place,whilst
various parties recoiftuh tec ed the
precincts, where they met with on
ly dead bodies, or those who were
supplicating for theii lives. After
Ihe firing lied ceased, the persons
of alt were respected. The besieg
ers were assisted by the ttaval force
which commenced a cannonade on
the battery, “El Principe .” but
many brave men preferred death to
liie infamy of abandoning their
p'lSfs The fruits of this a<*hiev
ment were 60 cannon, 620 mu*kets,
nd whatever remained of private
property. The lots oi the besieg
ed were 156 killed, about 250 pris
oners, besides the public offi ers.
Li consequence-, of this event, ihe
citadel San Felipe capitulated on
the ltMh of November. The de
partment of Venezuela is now ren
de:ed trat qud by (he efforts of its
successful army.
A eorrespondeat at La Guira,
says the Bat ti more Federal Gazette,
after mentioning the capture of
Porto Cahello, remarks* “ no doubt
you have heard ii reported ‘hat the
carnage was dreadful, amt that wo
men and children were massacred
in the streets and a variety of other
equally absurd and ridiculous fab
rications. but 1 can assure you I
was an eye witness of the scene and
neither saw woman or child injur
ed ; on (he contrary, I do aver that
I never saw a vanquish and enemy
tre-i(rd with greaser tenderness and
humanity. Ihe loss of (he enemy
on the B>h. *as Jar as I saw was a
bout one hundred a* and fifty men. It
must be confessed (hat they f ught
with grea’ bravery ; bayo et ed at
his post, rather than abandon the
battery he was ordered to defend—
they really deserved a fate more
distinguished ‘ban that of dying in
the defence of a tytanuical cause.

[ The following Letter was recei
ved previous to the publication of
the particular answer to “A Radi
cal.” hut we have not been able to
find room for ir until to-day .]
TO THE EDITORS.
* Gentlemen . As the order of the
Secretary of war, which is made the
subject of comment, by “A Uadi
cal.” in your paper of the 20th inst,
was addressed to me* when I was
Paymaster General of the Army, it
is but justice that I should relieve
him of the odium, or the merit of
that order. For this purpose, the
following extract of a report made
by me, and published after I had
been superseded in offi e, by haviug
my name withdrawn from the Sen
ate before the nomination was acted
on, is necessary.
“ The regulation referred to might
be a salutary one, if it should be
Lund legal, and I deem it proper to
invite your attention to the subject
before it is attempted to be enfor
ced The aet to provide more ef
fectually f*r the settlement of ac
counts, &c. dated March 3d, 1797*
makes it the duty of the Comptrol
ler of the Treasury to institute su<ts
for money reported to be due to the
United States. The aet to amend
the several acts for the reguiatmn of
the Treasury, War, and Navy De
partments, dated March 3d, 1809,
repeats the provision, making it the
Uoiuptroller’f duty to pursue delin-
quents, and (lesiu! ‘he proceedings
to be adopted. ‘The totli section of
the act of the-3d of * Lt - li. 1317. is
more explicit, and m dies i? ‘the du
ty of the F.i st GommroLer t su
periutem! ihe roeov ry <,[’ all r. bt
due to tie United States* to direct
suits ant! legal proceedings, and to
lake ail su h measures ns may be
authorized by the law-, to enforce
the prompt payment of ail debts to
the United Stales.’ The act of she?
fifteenth of May, eighteen hundred
anil wenty, goes fully into the de
tails (< be pursued, in relation to de
li .queus tLshuesiiig officers awl a
ge.i-s authorizing severe, u.eastires
on the puW of the government than
any individual can pu >iu* to recover
just debts from his neighbor. Had
the law been silent as to the mode
of reclaiming money on the settle
ment of public accounts, it is possi
ble officers might be coerced in the
way proposed by the Auditor; but
the mode being pointed out by law,
ii does not appear competent for (he
Executive to supersede il by ‘*egu
ialion, thereby depriving ihe offi er
of that right of ‘rial, which the
constitution and laws secure i • him*
The duties of paymasters are
clearly confined to t ie disbursements
of the pay of the army ; the money
par* of the subsistence, forage, and
allowan -e for the private iet vants of
officers ; and Use retained bounty of
enlfs<ed l men; which allowances can
not be properly withheld by Pay
masters, except on sentence of a
court martial, or the consent of tho
individual. The application tooth
er objects* of funds pul into iks
hands of paymasters, is a default for
which they ad their sureties ar6
liable. If they are made collectors
for the governme it,they are brought;
into collision with the army* and will
be embarassed and interrupted its
their legitimate duties— fiio suspen
sions made in the settlement of their
accounts, in of ,o ..,il ,
Sect such sums as the auditors may
report for stoppage, will keep theip
accounts in confusion, am] finally
make them appear defaulters ; f*r
which, I believe, their sureties could
not he made liable.”
This ‘•eport was made cn the 25fht
of November, 1821, and on th* 3d
of December following She order re*
ferred to was given. The report
and the order may have suggested
the legal provision which was sub
sequently made, as a copy was fur
nished to ihe Military committee of
the. House of Repcesenta.’ivc, in
the succeeding session, to i ivit
their attention to s one legal provi
sion on several points connected
witb the Pay Dcpartinc t, not with
a view however, to deprive citizens,
in iSie j uiih * service* of that right
oft.lll wttich the Constitufi** se
cures to them. Had I been equally
fortunate in obtaining the restora
tion and correction of some legal
regulations as in the rescinding of
the illegal one, the economy and rt*g*
possibility of the military service
would have been more perfect than
it is at present* particularly in tfia
clothing of the army. Ido act refer
to any deficiency io the pucehamng
or transporting departments, fans*
Departments will always he efficient
and economical u der their present
officers; but no efficient ae ounta
bility exists after the clothing leaves
(he Quartermaster’s possession,
which is often in large casks and
boxes* as ir was received from the
Commissary’s depot*
Without examining the im rove,
ments in organization, said to flare
been introduced by the present !seo
retary of War, for ail which* how
ever, legal provision, in various
sitapes* had before often bee solid,
ted—facilities so useful in tim** of
peace as now to be deemed indis
pensable* but whi h at the om
mencement of the late war, wers
called crutches for the War Depart
ment—-! will add a few words io in
vite attention to the existing defects
in that important provision far actu
al service, the supply and accounta
bility of eiothtog; by which it may
be seen that the Neretary has not
only repealed regulations which,
with proper modifications, would
have been efficient, but has failed to
provide au adequate substitute.
The law of 1892 provides that
