the island, and willing to stop a further 
‘effusion of blood, issued # proclamation, 
promising 500 dollars for every Greek 
prisoner brought to the camp alive. A 
good many vessels in the port are said to 
have escaped. ; 
Trieste, July 27. 
The island of Ipsara, a little north-west 
of Scio, has been attacked by the Turks. 
This was a small place, but the inhabitants 
were considered able mariners, and brave 
determined men, whom the Musselmen re- 
solved to extirpate. After a desperate re- 
sistance, which is stated to have cost the 
Turks 15,000 men, the place being strong, 
they succeeded in gaining possession of it. 
The surviving Ipsariots resolving not to let 
their wives and daughters fall into the 
power of their foe, mindful of the fate of 
Scio, assembled the remaining population 
in the fort, and blew themselves up, involy- 
ing multitudes of their conquerors in their 
destruction. The islanders, about 8000 or 
10,000 persons, were thus all destroyed by 
the sword, or their own actin this tragedy. 
The Paris papers. which arrived 
Thursday furnish a confirmation of the 
intelligence respecting the fall of Ipsara. 
Another island, Caso, or Caxo, has like- 
wise fallen, in which the loss of the 
Greeks is stated at between 300 and 400. 
The Greeks give a different version of 
this affair, and even claim the recapture 
of the island with great loss to the 
Turks. They describe the Turks as 
repulsed in an attack on Athens, and 
assert that the Pacha of Albania has de- 
clared himself independant.

The frigate Owen Glendower; Captain 
Thomas Pricket has arrived at Spithead. 
She left Cape Coast Castle, 31st May, 
The rains and ‘sickly season had set in 
very severely ; before the Glendower’s 
departure, the mortality on the Cape 
Coast was distressing; the European 
merchants dying at the rate of eight or 
nine a day, besides women and children, 
from the malignant fever of the country,

which had taken off so many, that cof- 
fins could not be procured fast enough. 
Of the white soldiers of the second 
West-India Regiment who had _ lately 
arrived from England and the Cape of 
Good Hope, there remained only 85 
out of 250, and the officers belonging to 
the above regiment had shared the same 
fate. 
Colonel Sutherland, of the Second 
West-India Regiment, was carrying on 
active measures against the Ashantees; 
several skirmishes had lately taken place 
in the bush, under the command of 
Captain Blenkarne, and the loss of the 
Ashantees was very great, supposed to 
be upwards of 1000. The King was at 
the head of his troops. Our loss is not 
known, but it is said to be trivial, com- 
pared with the enemy’s. The Ashan- 
tees had, however, surrounded the Fan- 
tee country in immense bodies.

WEST-INDIES. 
Intelligence has arrived this week 
from Jamaica, the tenour of which is 
disagreeable. On more than one estate 
the Negroes have revolted, and set fireto 
trash houses ; and that no less than from 
50 to 100 have deserted, joined the 
Maroons in the woods, and are doing 
their best to excite others to follow their 
example. Several were taken, and more 
than one of them, rather than meet a 
trial, furiously ripped open their own 
bowels ! 
Pirates are numerous and destructive. 
The Posthumous, from Jamaica, was, in 
company with another vessel, pursued 
by two piratical schooners, off the Flo- 
ridas, for a considerable time, and who 
were only deterred from attacking them 
by the two keeping together. A vessel, 
said to be the Prince, of Liverpool, from 
New Orleans, is said to have been cap- 
tured, by pirates, and all hands mur- 
dered, at Cameron Island.
