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.

From the National Intelligencer [ 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.
