I FOifElGJS". SPAIN. London and Liverpool dates to the 22d and 2 1th Aug. inclu sive have been received at New York. The following extracts are given: Spain is overrun with Ban ditti. They are young men who, to escape the law which obliges them to perform milita ry duty, have turned highway men. It is very dangerous tra velling. Some volunteers from Toledo, attacked a band of them, but were worsted having 15 wounded. General Don Juan Martin, alias El Empecinado had been liberated from prison at Roda, where he was confined in an iron cage, by a detach ment of troops, who arrived in that town with a forged order from the Government to deliver the prisoner to them. While the commander of the troops was deliberating with the Go vernor of the prison, the troops overcame the garrison of the prison, released the Empecina do, mounted horses, and with the Empecinado at their head, left the town without shedding a drop of blood. GREECE. Accounts from Zante to the 18th. July, communicate intelli gence of the fall of Ipsara, which was attributed to bribery. It was said that the Russian ambas sador at Constantinople granted permission to the merchant ves sels to transport Turkish troops to Ipsara, and that 1500 Arnauts in the service of the Greeks at that place, had been offered 1000 sequins to aid the Turks, they accepted; and that the Greeks finding out the treachery, and seeing no hopes of escape, hero ically set fire to the magazine in the fortress, and blew all up together, crying "Long live the Greeks." Some further particulars of this melancholy event are given in the Boston Daily Advertiser. It seems the Captain Pacha left Mitylene for Ipsara, on the 2d. of July, and on the 3d. began a cannonade from his fourteen fri gates, which in three hours dis mounted the Grecian batteries, and the Turkish troops, to the number of 14,000 landed. The Greeks all retired to a strongly fortified fort in the centre of the Island, which on the following day was attacked by the Turks. On the 5th. at noon, the fort blew up, whether from design or accident is not known. There are several accounts of this tra gical event, wihch vary in the particulars, but all agree there was an indiscriminate slaughter, and nearly all the Greeks per rished. The intelligence of the taking of the Island of Ipsara by the Turks is confirmed to its extent. In their account of this affair they state that their fleet consist ing of 2 ships of the line, 6 fri gates, 10 corvetts, besides small er vessels, which landed 14,000 men when the slaughter become so dreadful that the Captain Pa cha gave orders to snare non- combatants, and even offered a reward tor every one brought in alive; butitwastoo latp tho whole fell victims to the insati able iury ot the barbarians Kn mention is made in this account ot the U reeks naving blown themselves up. It is said, how ever, that the primates and en. 1 . 1 1 .1 . non oi tne island made their es -ape in fourteen carriages. Tn add to this disaster, letters from Turkey state that tl, KunA nf Caxo had been destroyed by the Egyptian squadron; Candia was sa?d to have submitted and Sa mos was believed to have fol lowed the example. On the other hand it is stated in an Amsterdam paper of the 13th August, on the authority of a letter received at Odessa from Constantinople, that infor matin had been received at the latter place by the English Le gation, of the destruction of the Turkish fleet and army, after the battle of Ipsara said to have been effected by the Greek fleets of Hydra and Spozzia, and that their affairs in other parts were in a favorable state. The Lon don papers, however, discredit this intelligence, although it is stated in a letter from Vienna that an express . from Constanti nople had recently arrived there, but the information it contained had not been allowed to trans pire. Had it been favorable to the Turks, there can be no doubt that publicity would have imme diately been given to it. Omcr Pacha, who had been ordered a bout two months ago to march against the Greeks with 10,000 men, had remained inactive,and charged with treason in the Aus trian Observer. The seat of the Grecian government is fixed at Napoli de Romani. The turks from Negropont had effected a landing on the neighboring coast, and penetrated as far as Athens, but failed in getting pos session of the citadel. The report of the defeat of the Turkish fleet after the massacre at Ipsara, continued to be repea ted in the London papers and now appears to be credited by many. The Greeks are also said to have cut off the vanguard of the Turkish army under Der- wish Pacha, who had attemped to cross the pass at Thermopylae. Should the fleet under the Cap tain Pacha have been destroyed, it was thought that the last hope of the Sublime Porte had been destroyed, as it was beyond the feeble and decaying resources of the Grand Sultan to make ano ther effort for the recovery of his lost dominion over the Greeks. We doubt, however, whether this consequence would naturally follow as long as there ppears reason for believing that the Christian powers of Europe nave lent the Mussclmcn a help ing hand to extinguish the flame of liberty. In addition to what we have already noticed respect mr tne assistance jriven dv kus- ia, it now anncars that the Aus- tnans, who are in possesion oi the Neapolitan ports, were us ing every effort in their power to obstruct communication with Greece and Greek provinces. The advantages which this must scive to the Porte in their pre- ent struggle, are lncaicuiame, and render the prospect of Gre cian independence extremely doubtful. MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS. Ireland.--A massacre, which atelv took place in the county of Fermanagh, originated in a riot with the Ribbandmen and Orangemen. To quell the riot, a magistrate called in the aid of Resriment of Foot, some of whom were reported to have n ' been killed; at length the Kib bandmen, women, and children, took shelter in the Catholic cha pel at Timpo, when the magis- ite gave orders to have the doors broken open and every soul, in endeavoring to escape, was either shot or stabbed; the church was then pillaged, and afterwards set on fire. cpe Coast Castle. Great apprehensions were entertained in London for . the fate of the settlement at Cape Coast Cattle. The arrival of the frigate Owen Glendowcr, had brought a con firmation of the intelligence that the King of the Ashantecs was advancing with a formidable ar my, and well provided with money to purchase provisions for his troops. Hayti. A letter dated the 7th. of August, at Paris, has been received in New York by the packet ship John Vrells, from Liverpool, which states that all negociations with the Hay tien ministers then in France had been broken off, and would return immediately in the French brig Cosmopolite, for Port-au-Prince. No further par ticulars are given. The letter is from a house of the first respec tability at Paris to their partner in New York. Extravagance of Fashion. A late London paper, describ ing the dresses of some ladies on a public occasion in that city, makes the following statement: "The Duchess of Argyll, in a dress of massive golden tissue; her raven locks, and a prodi gious plume of feathers of the same colour, produced a con trast with her diamonds, equal led only by "The Dutchess of Bedford, whose jewelry astonished all by 1 its slitter and J. 11L I ill-' tcr made a prodigious diylayj, Poststakc gaoo entrances inuccil. inuepeimcuuy ui inu; nncklacc. which cost at least i ftfly thousand guineas, (S233,-j 000) chains ot diamonds, with amethysts in the centre, decora ted her Grace's dress from the thick velvet Spanish hat to the jrirdle or ccstus below the sto- machcr.

A Convention of Delegates from all parts of the State opposed to the Nomina tion of Candidates for the office of Governor and Lieutenant j Governor, which was made by j the Republican members of the ( Legislature, has just been held -at Utica. For Governor De !,WlTT Clinton was nominated, jhavin2;7G of 120 votes. After the nomination of Mr. Clinton wras announced, Mr. Wheaton invited his friends to withdraw and protest against the proceed ings, and the New-York and Columbia delegates, with five or six others, retired. Aballot for a Candidate for Lieutenant Gov ernor being then taken James Tallmapge had 8.9 votes out of 99. The two Tickets are now fairly arrayed against each other. From what we observe, we pre sume the first Ticket, (for Mr. Young for Governor, and Mr. Root for Lieut. Governor,) will prevail, at the Election bv great majority. 3 ' Unfortunate calami,, n,. following is contend :?

While there, he handled his snakes as very liarmH things, even allowing them to crawl on his face! He was frc quentlv cautioned against py. posing his life in this manner; but disregarding the advice of more prudent persons, he took out his snakes at Mr. Bristol's, at the Conesus, and while one was crawling on his mouth, or rather between his lips, he received a bite on the temple, of which he died next morning, a spectacle of indiscribable horror. He was decently interred by the inhab itants of that place. Of this unfortunate stranger we have learned no other par ticulars of his residence and friends, than he was heard to say that his father lived in Massa chusetts, where he was then going. He had no money or any other property about him." Taming such creatures is al ways a difficult task, and no re liance can be placed upon their docility and harmlessness. Nat. ddv. Large Wen. A wen, weigh ing seven pounds, was recently taken from the right breast ci L. F. Delesdernier, Esq. of Lu bec, Maine, now in the 73d year of his age. The operation was performed by Dr. Ayer, of East port, in about five minutes. The tumor had been of more than twenty years standing, and lrom its great size and a recently ul cerated state was fast wearing upon the health of the patient. The wound is now rapidly heal ing, and will probably be per fectly well in a few days in deed he has not been confined to the house a single day, ant. is now able to take his usual walks. No danger need be ap prehended in extracting wens, if done by a skilful physician. Literary. "A voyage to Cochin China, by Lieut.
