Sovtisn, From Europe. Liverpool. papers to the 22d ult and Havre papers to the 20th have been received at New-York and Philadelphia. They furnish the following intelligence. Greece The Austrian Obser ver has received some news from the Morea, dated Corfu, June 16. Redschid Pacha, after having left at Missolonghi a garrison of 2000 infantry, and 500 horse, repaired . to Lepanto on the 23d of. May, with a body of 6000 men, whence after having taken some villages, jr he adyanced upon Athens. Ibra him sat out from Patras on the 7th of May for Tripolitza, with an army of 10,000 Egyptians and 4000 Albanians. Colocotroni, "whose force had amounted to 30.00 men, was reduced to 500, the oth ers having been disbanded on the approach of the Ottomans. He retired up Caristena, leaving the way free even to Tripolitza. I brahim stopped before Argos, whence Nikita proceeded for Na poli de Romania. Solirnan Bey had left Moden and endeavored to rejoin Ibrahim, It appeared that it was his intention to seize upon Napoli de Malvoism. The Notizie del Giono of Rome is far from confirming this disas trous intelligence. It has rcceiv-i ed from Corfu, but under date of the 25th of June, the assurance that Colocotroni was on the point of reconnoitering the whole of the Morca, and that he had already entered into an arrangement with Ibrahim, who was in a very criti- j cai situation. It is said that Lord Cochrane' has been informed by the British government, that he should meet with no interruption in his pro ceedings, it lie did not enter a; British port. Turkey. On the 16th June. the Janissaries revolted at Con-1 stantinople, in consequence of the Nizam-Djedid, (depriving them of come ot their privileges, and pla cing them on a footing with other regular troops.) The number of Janissaries regularly in garrison at Constantinople is 40,000 men. It had been rumored among them that this new organization of the troops was executing in pursu ance of a decree of Solirnan; but, notwithstanding these insinua tions, they Hew to arms. Sultan Mahmoud came in the greatest haste from the country, where lie happened to be. He caused the Standard of the Prophet to bo unfurled, and called all the faith ful to rally round him. Eight thousand topchis were soon col lected together, and directed their cannon upon the Janissaries. The latter defended themselves in their quarters and in the streets during three days. All those who did not separate themselves from the rebels were extermina ted. The Janissaries have a pri vilege which secures them from being punished even by the Visir, unless the Commanders-in-chief of these corps give their consent. A revolt was the infallible feonsc quence of a contrary line olljcon- duct. On the 19th tranquillity was restored. At 1'cra, the quar ter where the Franks resicte, or der was not disturbed for a mo ment. The Sultan displayed a degree of energy which was not possessed by his uncle Selim III. who perished in 1807, upon an in surrection of the Janissaries, who were apprehensive of the estab lishment of the Nizam-Djedid. Later accounts state that 5000 Janissaries perished, and a decree issued dissolving the corps, and devoting the name to execration. It appears by the accounts from Corfu, that the insurrectionary spirit has extended itself to Alba nia, and even to the Mahometan inhabitants occupying the lofty chain of Pimlus, &c. Tt is thought that this rebellion will render the Divan more acces sible to the representations of the great European powers in favor of the Greeks. France. The fiftieth anniver sary of the Independence of the United States, was celebrated at Paris on the 4th ult. by a nume rous company of Americans. Gen. Lafayette and his son were amoii the guests. After dinner the following toasts, among oth ers, were given: "Our illustrious benefactor, Gen. La fayette We can but add our voice to the echo of our country's." Gen.Lafayette returned thanks. Two years ago (said he) I arose from this convivial American ta ble to embark for the happy and beloved land, where the reception I have met, the w onders of crea tion and improvement I have wit nessed, the sight ofpublic prospe rity and personal felicity it has been my delight to enjoy, have far exceeded even what a grateful sense of past obligations, and a fond confidence in the immense powers of republican freedom, had warranted me to anticipate. So, gentlemen, after having visit ed the twenty-four States of the Union after having on the glori ous ground of Bunker Hill, cele brated the fiftieth Anniversary of the 1 th of June I had the plea sure to hail the last 4th of July on the spot where at my landing, had begun a series of most gratifying and anecting welcomes. Now, gentlemen, I am happy to have joined you in toasting the half century epoch of that era of a new social order, which has already pervaded the American hemis phere, and cannot fail more and more to enlighten and enfranchise the world: the happier I am to be here amidst so numerous a con course of citizens from the United States (permit one of your Revo lutionary Veterans to' observe it,) as I know that the more they see of Europe, the more they will be attached to the institutions of their own countryinstitutions founded on the rights of man, re publican virtue, practical liberty, plain politics, true representa-r tion, and self-government. It is under the impression of these sentiments that I offer this toast: "The Budget of American Freedom : Let other nations reflect on what it cost, and what it fetches." , England. The British govern ment is about preparing another expedition for the Arctic Pole. I The command will be entrusted to Capt. Parry, in the Hecla, the ves sel in which he made his last voy age. Its object is said to be more of a commercial than of a scienti fic character. Capt. P. will take with him light canoes and launch es of a peculiar construction," in order, if possible, to make a ne ar er approach to the Pole. ...... ; It is stated in .the Globe, that the Comet steam vessel has been nlaced bv the Ministry at the dis posal of Mr! Perkins for the pur pose of experiment. Mr. Per kins's plan consists in giving to steam engines the propelling pow er with so small a quantity of fuel that the expense will be trifling. Russia. The Russian Empe ror has ordered the proceedings of Bible Societies to be suspend ed till further commands. TUESDAY, AUGUST 29, 182G.

Judge Hall being called to the Chair, Rob't II. JoncSj Esq. presented a preamble and resolutions, appointing a committee to raise contributions in money or provi sions of any kind, to diminish the im pending calamity oifa min e, occasioned by a general failure of the grain crops throughout that section of the country. The Warrenton Reporter, of the 18th, remarks as follows: "We can every day hear of one or more families who have either already started," or are actively employed in making preparations to remove forthwith to the West. Such as have the means in their power, who now reside in this re gion of scarcity, would act wisely, we think, to imitate this enterpri zing spirit." Military Academy. We learn (says the Raleigh Star) that the arrangements which are making for the establishment of a Milita ry and Scientific School at Wil liamsborough, in this State, are in such a: state of progress, as to leave but little doubt that the in stitution will go into operation in January next. The beautiful and pleasant situation, occupied by the Messrs. Hamiltons, has been purchased for ; its location. A more convenient and healthy spot could not have5 been selected. The house is situated on rising ground, facing the main road, and in a spacious lot, well shaded by forest trees, and has a spring of the purest water within a few pa ces of it.
