When news was re *ei ved at Athens that the Captaio Pa oha had succeeded in reviutualling \egropont, anew attack on *he side of Beotia was expected Plea sures were therefore taken in anti cipation of this event, and Dervisob Pacha, who commands a- Larissa* having advanced with 10.000 men, ihe combat recommenced oo the 20th May (Ist of June.) The action was bloody that day ; the enemy* was kept in check at Di oa, where Odysseus having been joined by the Snaltzo Dimas and Nieetas* the Turks were put to the route. We are ignorant of their loss, but at this moment all the mountaineers and the peasants of the plains are going* according to their custom, to enrich themselves with the spoils of the Turks, and the villages resound with cries of joy. HEROIC .IFF HR. The following account of the re capture of ihe brig Frederick, of Stoni igton* from the Pirates of the Pacific, exhibits oue of the most brilliant feats we ever heard of. We understand that wheo the Fred erick arrived at Callao* the owoers weie -o much pleased with the gal laid conduit of Capt. Burrows, that they immediately presented him with the sum of five thousand dollars. The Frederick, Captain A H. Burrows* was captured on the 261i December, near the port of Qoiloa* where she was biund. with a cargo of dry goods,* Capt. B. t elates the <‘ircums(an<<es as follows:—At 10 p. m. the Frederick was fired into by an armed brig, and ordered oo board with my papers. After get ting on board and being closely ex amined respecting my vessel and cargo, they took possession of my vessel and transferred the trew to‘ the privateer. During the night they stood to die southward for MouUendo, where they intended discharging my cargo; but the next morning, when nearly abreast of the port* saw a ship flooding in which they took for a man of war, when the privateer brig hauled off from the .*apian of the privateer Histoid me that he should send my hrfg to the island of Cbiloe, a<id i I chose to go in her* and she arrived safe, and after dis charging my cargo, he would give me up my vessel Thinking there might be some change f recovering her, and knowing that if I left her I should not get her I chose to remain b* her, and yrfter much persuasion I prevailed on him to let me take my son with* me—-hut he would not n*erit to my t iking a uy more of my crew. After plun dering my vessel of about gt 2.000 worth of dry goods, rice, rigging, and other arii Jess as fhev were then i want of, they pur a prize matter and nine med o? board, and ordered us to make sail for the isl ad of Cuiloe S.jo:i after leaving 111*’ privateer.

Two davs after my ar rival, the privateer arrived off the the harbor of Callao, and the Uni ted Stales’ schooner Dolphin, Capt, Connor* and the British frigate Tartar, Capt. Brown* made sail in pursuit of her* but night coming on, the made her escape. A short time after that, the crew of a French ship arrived in their boats, having been captured a little to the leeward by the privateer, who had taken from the shipg6o, 000,manned,& or dered her for Cbiloe. On the 24th of May, a lew days before (he Franklin left Valparaiso* (he £ttt tanealia arrived there, prize to a French sloop of war, who had cap -1 ured her off Quitea.

Powerful effects of Sudden Fear • Nicolo* marquis of Ferrara* was taken ill of an ague* which continu ed so Yioleot, that his physicians gave him up* and sent him to a country house he had on the river Po, for change of air. His servant* who loved him with the utmost ten derness* having heard that sudden fear was a sovereign remedy for that complaint, resolved to try it oe his master; wherefore* having observed that the marquis walked every day on the banks of the Po, and knowing it was not deep* he resolved to push him in. He ac quainted a miller who lived over a gainst the plane* with his design* and having ordered him to he rea dy with his boat to take his master up* if there should be occasion, the next morning he threw him in, af ter which he immediately fled to Padua: in the mean time, the mil- . ler took up the marquis, who was ivdeed thoroughly frightened* and vowed to be reveled. So extraordinary a case was the subject of general conversation* the marquis caused his servant to be summoned before the courts of juc tice, and not appearing, he was de clared an outlaw, and condemned* if he should ever return, to be be headed. This news soon reached Padua, notwithstanding wbi *b the servant in a few days came back to Ferrara, and desired admittance to the marquis, whi h was denied* and instead thereof* he was appre hended, and ordered to prepare for execution. The marquis* however, finding himself cured of his ague* bis re sentment began to abate* and he was determined to save him, but to seem resolved to let the law take its course. A day was fixed for the ex- ‘ erution, aod all Ferrara throoged 1 to see it. The servant appeared on the scaffold, and after protesting that be had *0 other motive than the cure of his master, be laid hie bead on the block, and gave tho fa tal signal. The executiooer* ac cording to previous orders, at that instant poured cold water 00 hia neek, and ibis was oo sooner done than the color left his cheeks* bis eyes sunk in his head, and he died in a few momeuts without speaking a single word. A friend has handed ut a copy of the petiti on to the King in Council* noted at a meeting of merchants and bther inhabitants of Liverpool, re lative to the reoognltioo of the S. American government. It is stat ed in the petition* on the authority nf documents presented to Parlia ment, that the direct exports of British produce and manufactures to South America and Mexico a mounted, in the year 1822* to 3,- 367.9571., aod. in 1823, to 6,648,- 7691.; that, during the four years from Januaiy, 1820* no less than 766 vessels oleared our for those from the port of Liverpool alone* containing an aggregate bur den of 136.432 tons; and that, in the five first months of the present year, 124 vessels, of 24,657 tons, tailed for the same destination; that in the year 1820, the experts from Liverpool of cotton go ds to the (J. States amounted to only 882,0292. and the exports in the same period to Brazil* Buenos .Ayres* M nte Video, Chili, and the West Coast of America, amounted to 862,6542-; and that, in the year 1821, the ex ports of cotton goods to the United States amounted to .1*033,2062., while those to the other countries a bove named amounted to 1,111,5742. The petition represents that great losses aod iooonveoienees have re sulted to the trade from the want of those political relations whieh would be formed with (hose countries on the acknowledgment of their inde pendence, and that, by the establish ment ofthrse relations, loans, negoti ated in London with those govern ments to the amonot 0f12,800,0001. British capital, would be rendered mere seorre.— Bost. Daily Adv. A litigious fellow of an attorney brought an action again** • r.r i..v:..g called him a rascally lawyer.—* An old husbandman being a witness, was asked if he heard the man call him a lawyer? *‘l did,” way the reply.—“ Pray,” says the Judge, M what is your opinion of the import of tho word?” “There can be no doubt oft hat.” replied Hie fel low. “Why, good man,” said tho judge* “there is no dishonor io the name* it there?” *! know nothing ah'Jut that.” answered he, ‘•but this I do know, if any man call me a lawyer I*d knock him down.” “ Why, sir.” said the Judge, pointing to one of the counsel, “that gentleman is a lawyer, and that, and that, and I too am a lawyer. “No, no,” re plied the fellow; “no my lord; you are a Judge, I know; but you are not a lawyer , lam sure.” We are authorised to say* from unquestionable authority, that Judge Lonostreet has declined being a candidate at the next 000* gressional election. Columbian Gentinel, Profligacy of the Opposition Press and its Editors The priots which are io opposi tion to Mr. Crawford’s election are forever preaehiog up deoeocy and forever violating the rules of deco rum. The Portland St* esrnan in* forms its reader* that the Secretary of the Treasury is more deserving of elevation to th e gallows than to the Presidency: The New York \- morioan proclaims that Ge t. Root* the lieutenant governor of the state* was drunk io the Senate at Albany when in the performance of h* du* tv as President of that body; ihe Columbian Observer, of Puiladel phia, denounces Mr, Crawford as a murderer, a counterfeiter, aud a perjurer: the National Journal of Washington* denominates Mr. Gal latin a whiskey insurgent: and the Philadelphia Franklin Gazette, de clares that an editor friendly to Mr. Crawford is a white livered hind , In the political vocabulary of the pi ous Mr. Adams and the still more pious Ge t. Jackson, all this passes for The editor* who are in their interest, aod who write these falsehoods aod vulgarities, ne doubt say their prayers, go to bed* and thank God that they do no? of fend against good manners, like oth er men Suppose that Mr Craw ford’s supporters should retaliate this language* would they not he justified by the insolence of their antagonists ? But they are very far from tracking the seurrilousde farner* in their own mire. Whate ver is strongly expressed by the presses which sustaio the Secretary of the Treasury* is strmg only i facts and not indelicate in words; and when the adversary prints ean not pervert or answer, they set to sooldiog, and boast of their gentility* —Heaven save the mark !

Etiquette itself would be put out of oou.uenance by some of them, whose physiognomies are badly oaloulated for the brilli ant apartments of a palace. We re oommend it to Mr. Adams to open a school for polishing his pupils a 4 refining their voioes.
