After. an absence ofthree weeks, and a jotir-_
ney over soiuetliiiig like a thousand miles of
ie.~rimrv,.after witriessitigtlie most rapid and

iextiaoidinary_ iiiiprovemeiits throughout the
state, I find myself once more in my elbow
"-'.;htiir, and discover that in my absence, I have
' afforded a subject of general remark and ob-
’ serviitioii in the titiexpected -attempt _to revive
the government of the oldest of nations. The
various continents‘ wliich have been made on
this novel undertaking—-the good wishes of

reasoning-of the religions—-the ill will ofop-
ponents, and the reflection of all, have occu-
'pied.niy particular attention. _
The attempt is a novel one; and derives
no small portion of interest from its being
hazarded by a solitary individual, without all
those auxiliaries necessary to organize a gov-
eriiineiit or colonize a tiation, but when the
tlociimeuts shall reach Europe, for which they
are specially intended, and "by some are nio-
-incnily expected,tlie result ofthe attempt will

the couiinenceuient which I have tiiade.
The Jews ofthe United States who are few
and respectable, have not been favorably iii-
'c'liiieLl towards the project of inviting their
brethren to this ‘C0‘lllltl‘y, under our govern-
riient,or any ii'etv bite. Their fears have been

it here they have been pcrsecuted,would throw
of the-nation, and that agrictilture and ine-

Tlicy also were apprehensive that ifemi‘gi'ants
of"-loose reputatioii found their way to our
shores, we should indirectly stiffer from any

putgvue. I-letice, I A have expected that oppo-

not regret it ; opposition sharpens and bright-
rnetit of causes and effects, and no great pro-

silence and tranquility ofthe lookers on. In
Europe the best pens will be arrayed against
the attempt, because the governments must
employ them. However galliug and severe
the restrictioiis may be oti the Jews, the sove-
reigns of Europe will violently oppose any
attempt to deprive them of the capital and
active industry oftlieir Jewish subjects ; nei-
ther will it be peculiarly gratifyiiigtto them to
:r‘ee_tlic United States streiigtlieiied or enrich-
ed by this class of eniigraiits ; opposition oti
this head will not only be iiiade in Europe,
lint persoiis will be found in this country who
will throw cold water on the project, and a-
buse the projector; who will represent the

our state as a wilderness, and tliewliole atfair
in which the liberty and happiness of millions
may be involved as a mere speculation. Nin-
witlistaiitliiig formidab'le obstacles fr. abroad,
we shall have an emigration to this c'oi’intr_v
of snfficieiit tnagnitnde to pave the’ way for
the gradual, btit certain i'e-assemblage of the
nation. The attempt will also create more
interest towards this cotintiy, as it will set on
foot a. spirit of inquiry relative to otir laws.

investments will be made in our funds.

The liberal manner with wliichrthc project
has been treated, in the Western District and
other parts of the state, nierits my grateful
ackiiowledginents. On all sides Ireceived
assurances, that the attempt met with entire
approbation, and that they were prepared to
co-operate cordially with me‘ in the further-
ance ofthe ohje’ct_iii view. ’

The following letter, from Berlin, in Prus-
sia, will exhibit an evidence of the fact, that,
although the Jews in the United States were

such eiiiigration may be connected with the

Correspo"nden'ce ofaii extensive and inter‘-
estiiigiiature, not at present necessary or pro-
per to notice, have resulted front the g.eneral
disposition of the European Jews to ehiigrate,
and-_ early in the ensuing spring a select nuni-
her will embark fr. Amsterdamand Hamburg.

The proclaitiation addressed to the nation,
instead of being general, should have been
specially directed to the European Jews, and
those in this country are not equally interest-
ed, having already an interest in the soil, and
all the essential rights of freeineii. That suclt
a doctiineut, so new, so extraordinary, so im-
posing in its oature,‘involviiig such important
* changes, should have created among my co-
rcligioiiaries in this country great surprise, 8i.
probably some opposition, was to have been
expected, as it was accomplislied witlioiitcon-
SllICil,Il0iI, or, as they imagined, without prep-
aration. It will be fotind that tliose,_for whom

it, and will avail tlieinselves of the advanta-

teuaiice and confirni the belief, that the Jew-
ish nation, so long separated and divided, will

and independent.

weight, are warrants for the powers assumed

curely enjoy happiness until the peri ‘d of the

PROM true PROVIDENCE :"A*rit1o't'.

Babcock’s Slca-in Enginc.—We have before
noticed the operation of this very important
iinprovetnetit in the boat recently built by S.
T. Northam, Esq of Newport, and promised
a particular description of it. The article fol-
lrityiiig is fr. the obliging friend to whom we
referred, andwill be found highly interesting.

The invention ofMr. Btibcnck, which will
probably supersede the necessity of a boiler to
the steam engine, consists merely in convert-
ing water into steam at the instant it is want-
ed, by allowing it to come into contact with
hot iron. To effect this, two generators are
used, formed of iron ttibes, cast in lengths of
three and halffeet, of five inches internal di-
atiieter, and an inch and a half thick: these
are made to traverse, a furnace horizontally,
in two rows, and are fourteen in number; the
lower seven are connected with each other by
caps, and a sleani pipe leads from the end of
the last one itito the ’ lower part’ ofthe cyliu.
tier of a high pressure engine; the upper sev-
en are connected in the saute manner, and a
steatn pipe leads from them into the upper
part ofthe same cylinder. At the other end
ofeach generator, and on opposite sides of
the furnace, is attached a small forcing pump,
two and a halfinclies in diameter, and about
eight inches in length. Orr the top of the
furnace is asniall copper reservoir,containing
a few gallons of water, with a tube leading
from each side of it, which connects it with
the pumps. The furnace has two fire places,
the one above, the other below the tubes--its
extrenie outside length is 8 feet—its height
and width, each three anda half feet. The
pumps are worked by long levers, attached
to the cross head, so arranged as to move
them alternately, and they cati be made to
inject from a‘ lialfto four ctibic inches ofwa-

not ,,,eP,,,.ed for en,;g,am,,,, on me ,e.¢5mb, ,ter at once, the whole of which, after perfortn-

lishment of the nation, yet those abroad who
are more interested, have been alive to the
project, atid in expect-.ition of events tvliicli
have taken place.

“ Most honorable sir : Atiiidst the genera
distress and public calamity under which a
great part ofthe European Jews l:ihored,some
years ago,and stillare seen to labour, it was
indeed, no small coiisolzition to every one,

pear no trifle, to hear the noble‘ voice of a
most excellent partaker of our ftritli, animat-

oppressed creed, liy strrizrnoniiig them from an
ungrateful and unjust country, to that part of

Extraordinary Member of otir Congregation,
and Correspondent General for the U.States,

better notion of otir finulpurpose, than this
short letter can be able to afford. _

You wotild, most honourable sir, infinitely
oblige us, if you would send its an exact rela-
tiouof all the particul.ais concerning tlieJews
in every province of the United States, their
progress in business and knowledge, and the
rights allowed to tlietii irigencral,aud by each
single state. But you would still more oblige
us, by propnsiiig to us a sufftcietit tittiiiber of
peisoris, ablerto be nienibcrs of our society,
and who, under yomrprestdeiicy, settling a

ing its duty in the cylinder, issaved by a. con-
denser. 'I‘o set the engine in motion, a fire is
kindled in the furnace, and when the genera-
tors are sufiicicntly heated, an injection is
made, by hand, with one of the puiups, (we
will suppose into the lower generator ;) the
water is instantly converted into stcam—a
valve is opened to admit it into the lower part
ofthe cylinder, aiirl the piston is driven up ;
an injection is then made by the other piitiip,
into the other generator-—a valve is opened in
the trip of the cylinder, and the piston is driv-
en down. The engine, then, without further
assistance, continues to operate with unabated
vigour, and with perfect equality. The in-
jection made into the generator, now in oper-
atioii, is at most but four cubic inches ; the
cylinder ofthe engine, to which tliev are at-
tached, is ten inches indiameter; the length
ofthe stroke ofthe piston is three and it half
feet, and it is calculated to be a ten horse
power, though it varies in proportion to the
quantity of water injected. The principle,
upon which the generatoi's are constructed, is
an evident one; but the heretofore insur-
mountable obstacle has been, that they cooled
so fast, by the constant. injection ofthe water,
that the requisite steam power could not be
obtaiiied by tlietn ; this is now completely 0-
verconie by using two generators instead of
one, and having the injection‘ pumps so arran
ged as to work alternately, that while ware.» is
forced into one generator. the other has time-
to regain itstexpended calorie: and here con-
sists the great iiierit ofthe iiiventioii—and the
merit is the greater because, tho’ so simple, it
has been entirely overlooked. \Ve have been,
ourselves, repeatedly witnesses of the perfect
success of the operatioii, and the generators,
so far from being cooled, are with ease and
celerity tirade to acquire the requisite degree
of temperature, even when the engine has
commenced working with them at a low tem-
perature. . ‘

" The economy of the substittition consists,
not only in space 8:. weight but in both wood
and water. Had they not succeeded in. the
engine to which they were attached, it would
have been necessary to have supplied their
place by a boiler, twenty two feet, at least, in
length ; the saving of forceand weight is,
therefore, three ‘fourths of wliatit would have
been on the old plan ; and instead ofa cord
of wood which would have been consumed in
four hours, iltere is now used but two feet in
the same space of'tiuie-the saving in wood is
therefore, three fourths; and last, but most

small quantity ofsteam that can be generated
from about four cubic inches of water-—and
the simplest, the cheapest and the”-most pow-
erful-but heretofore dreaded, high pressure
engine‘ is ended, perfectly safe in . its useland
occtipation. We do not say that it is abso-
lutely iiiipossible for the generators to burst,
but were they to do so, no person could be
injured unless by a piece projected from it,an‘d
then ‘so carelessly must they have been cori-
structed, that a jury of the country could
hardly help convicting their maker ofpre-
meditated iiianslaugltter. As the public are
apt tojiidge pf‘ the success ofaii experiment
more front appearances than exaiiiination, we
are sorry that the boat did not move with the
velocity that was auticipated’—-"-but the fact is,
that the engine was intended to move paddles
of but twelve feet in diameter, instead of
which, by an alteration in the boat, it became
necessary to Slliillsilfllle paddles of fifteen-feet;
as it is they revolve seventeen timesin a min-
ate, carrying the boat full 7 miles in an hour";
while the Clerniottt, Ftiltoii’s first boat, went
scarcely 5 miles in the same time. ' It should
be reinembercd,too, that by first applying the
itiveiitioti to the propelling ofa vessel, the
most difiicnlt-method has been chosen oftest-
ing its power i and ypt, with the peculiar ob-
stacles it has had to-encounter, we are assured
not a doubt can exist with regard to it in the
mind of any one at all coiiversattt with the
niatter. VVe believe another era is about to take
place in steam enginery, that will rank the
uaine of Babcock with the illustrious one of
Watt.

GREECE.—Gen. Roche, who is in the
Greek service, and acts as agent and corres-
pondent of the Greek Philanthropic Society
in Paris, has given interesting “details of the
operations of the contending forces, doivn to
the last of June. The general complexion
oftliese accounts is favorable, and the repulse
and retreat of the Egyptians from Napoli di
Roniania, is amply confirmed. The letter,
dated Napoli, June 28, we publish ‘at length,
as it gives an authentic, and very satisfactory
account of the repulse of Ibraliiiii’s army, in
an attack upon an otit post of that place.

“ Since the Barbarians have defeated Gen.
Colocotroni, Ibrahim Paclia, like it sltilful 81.
well advised general, has profitted by the ter-
ror of the Greeks to march iriiinediately to
Napoli. His head colutiin appeared on the
morning ofthe 25th, at the post of the Mills.
[ went to the Mills in order to‘ confer with
Prince Ypsylanti, who‘ commanded there. It
is a very itiiportaiit place for the Greeks, who
have tlieiririills there and a great part of their
provisions. On returning tothle governiiieiit,
at Napoli, [.repres'ented the necessity of rein-
forcing this station, for Prince Ypsylaiiti had
under his orders only about 250 men, ofir-
regtila r troops. The government sent him a
company of voltigeurs, a new regiment oftlte
litie which is organiisiiig here, and 800 Greek
tirailleurs. I observed the movements ofthe
etieiiiy. He came from the defiles of the Mills
aritl after forming with greatorder, they halt-
ed to dine. In the course of the (lay there
were some skirniishes between the advanced
posts. The forces or" the enemy amounted to
5609 infantry, 6 or 700 cavalry, and 3'. small
field pieces. The Greek force at the begin-
ning ofthe action was only 250 men,asI have
before mentioned. At half past 4 the eiietny
formed three columns, and marched towards
the Mills.

The strongest coltinin, composed of infant-
ry, occupied the plain at the left ofthe inotiii-
tain, on the road to Argos. A second col
uiiiii went towards the mountains in order to
turn the Mills, whilst the third took the Liv-
eri road. Prince Ypsylaiiti had disposed of
his 250 men in the following iiianuer. One
hundred occupied the right of the Mills,the
same number were stationed at the left, and
extended a little toward the declivity of the
tiiou ntain. The" rernainder were placed in
the centre". Several Misticlts were on‘ the
shore to support the Greek Infantry.

At 5 o’clock the generalattack began‘. The
Greeks sustained it with extraordinary cour-
age. In vain the Egyptian column, marcli-
ing on the Livori road, endeavoured to force
the entrance to the Mills. They were repul-
sed three titnes successively, and at a qtiarter
past six wereput to route. The Greeks pur-
sued for a moment, but fear of the euemy’s
cavalry caused them to return to their posts.
At half past six the enemy rallied and direct-
ed their march toward the back ofthe moun-
tain, wliere they stopped to call in the mail-
lieurs : whiletlie left wing oftheGreeks fought
tlie-eneniy, their centre column had reached
the foot of the iiiouiitain, and were fighting
that point, in the enclosed gardens; where, I

 

‘had that uiorning advised Prince Yypsylanti

to establish a post. At quarter before seven
the firing diininislied, and at seven commenc-
ed with greater force. VVliile the combat last-
ed the enemy continually reinforced their at-
tacking coluins ; the Greeks did the same ;--
the Government had sent them 450 men,
which madetlie force ofYypsylanti auiount
at seven o’clock to i 700 iiieti, and at eight to
900. At this iiioiiieiit the Turks began to re-
tire in disorder towards the Argosroad. The
centre coliimti tvislied totake possession ofthe,
mountains opposite the mills, btit it was pur-
sued and put to route by a company ofGreeks.
The enetny’s loss was about 400 killed and
wounded. That ofthe Greeks was very ligltt.
The brave Colonel Maeiiana was dangerously
wounded intlie arm. The Misticlis seconded
Prince Ypysylanti-very much by a well kept
tip canister sltot. The conduct of the tira-
rines on this day was very advantageous to
the little Greek body. M. de Croze, for-
merly an ofiicer of the French marine, the
couiinaiider of one ofthe Mistichs, was espe-
cially distinguished, as was also a young.ofl‘i-
cer from Brussells.

Aduiiral de Rignay, who at this time was at
anchor at, this place to take in water, had the
goodness to take on board the Greek Colonel
.\laeriana, and to give him _the assistance his
valour merited. . On the eve of the battle Ml‘.
dc Rigny had caused to be transported on
board his vessels the women anti children who
were at the mills. On this occasion the

‘Greeks have proved to the Barbarians that

when they. are well commanded they figlit
like men who deserve freedom. The beauti-
ful and rich vallies of Modon, Calaiiiata, anti
Leonduri, after having been pillaged, and the
iiiliabitants massacred,-"were delivered over to
the flames. Since Ibrahim Pacha has been
in the plain of Argos, he has burnt that great
city, and reduced to ashes that fertile plan.
where there were thousands of olive trees‘.-

He has placed his camp near the ruins of Ar-

 

’ l . ‘ ' 1 I '1 1-_ I‘,-t
gas. If he remains long in this position the

Greeks wi l have time to cut off his retreat,
either by the defilcs of Tripolitza or by those
of C0rittth.- He cannot tiiidertake the siege
of Napolj,‘ having neither cannon, aminuni-2,
tion, or provisions—he ‘depends, on the fleet
which the Greeks hold closely bloekaded at
Souda. ' -

P- 5- _ I learn this moment that,theArabs
are retiring-—they have taken the route that
leads td Tripolitza, and also to Calavrita——
but We ‘tire ignorant what. will be their direc-
lion-.. The Govertimeiit has given orders to
the Guerillas to follow them in order to cut
them offin their retrogade march. The true
end oflbraliini Pacha is to carry desolation
every where, for he knows that it is impossible
for him to conquer the Peloponnesus. ,

.N'ule.-—-'Other letters from General Roche
annotinces that the Egyptians have iiiassered
the Archbishop’ of Modon, after having sub-
jected him to horrible tortures.

Greeks and TurIrs.—A sixty gun ship is to
be built in the arsenal at Venice, by authority
from the Austrian government, for the Vice-
roy ofEgypt, all the materials for which, are
to be furiiished from the magaziiies of the
arsenal. Thus we‘ see the countenance and
aid of the legitiinates ofEurope—the vaunted
pillars ofreligion and morality, to the tut bati-
ed barbarian, are no longer pretended to be
disguised, and that the brave Greeks, who un-
der every disadvantage have uiarclied in a
splendidcareer of victory, have to eiicotiiiter
reinforcements to tliezpower of.their oppress-
ors from the natiotis t)f0hristendom. Altho’
this evidence of hostility to the Greeks was to
be expected, as part of the system of monar-
clii_al. policy, it is not the less to be regretted,
as it may retard, if not eventually defeat,tlieir
independence; unless indeed they receive
prompt and powerftil assistance from those
free countries‘, the people of which, sympa-
thize with their sufferings and wish for their
success.-Stalcstnart.

Fr'ancc.—A writer in the U; S. Gazette
states that the debt due from France to the
citizens of the U. States for property seized
and confiscated under the Berlin, Milan and
Ranibpnlliet decrees, has been estimated at
uiore than 30 millions of dollars, not one cent
of which he asserts has been returned "to its
real owners tip to the present day. France is
able to pay, he asserts, and France must pay.

The North American Review mentionsthat
the government of the U. States has lately
revived the negotiation with Naples in refer-
ence to Murat’s spoliations, and that Mr. J.J.
Appleton has been despatched to Naples as a
special agent for the purpose.

LONDON, Aug. 24, 1825.

The London Gazette contains several de-
spatclies from the Naval Commanders in Iii-
dia to the Lords of the Admiralty, giving de-
tails of the naval operations in concert with
those of.tlie army. In one oftliem, Captain
Marryat says, “ I am sorry that our list of
wounded is so heavy, but it will be accounted
for when I state, that in all these attacks’ the
Lascars, who man the other boats, will not
pull into the fire, unless they are led by the
oflicers and seatnen of his Majesty’s ship
Larne.” They also mention the destruction
ofthirty of the Burmese war boats, some of
them pulling fifty cars; The last despatch is
dated Dec. 16, 1824, and gives an account or
an attack made on two hundred ofthe ene-
niy’s war boats, and fire rafts, which were sta-
tioned across a river to prevent the advance
of the British force. Three ofthe largest war
boats, and about forty others laden with atti-
iiitiiiition and provisions, were captured with-
out the loss of a man, and the rest ptit to
‘flight. During this operation Gen. Campbell
gained a mostgbrilliant victory.

TBlES'rE, July 29.—The Austrian vessels
which brought the glad news of the capture
ofthe wounded Ibrahim, also report, that the
Arnatttsvlanded at Navarino, had uiarclied for
Patras, the coiiiiriander finding he could hold
no cotniiiunicatioii with Ibrahim ; and afraid
to remain at Navarino, on accountof the scar-
city of water there; The brave French have
become the servants ofthe Turks. '

Otranto, July 9.1.-—"'I‘liere has just arrived
here a vessel from Corfu, which left there
yesterday, and brings a letter which says, that
" The Greeks had obtained a complete victo-
ry over Ibrahim Pacha, and had succeeded in
taking liirii prisoner. The truth of this may
be depended on.” . '

Fire at Salom°ca.—In the night of the nth
July, the Palace ofthe Paclia of‘Salonica,
with the liareni stables, containing the rest
deiices of the Kiraga Bey, and above 2000
persons attached to the royal household, were
destroyed. Above 30 other houses were con-
sumed, and the ruins extend ._above a qtiarter
ofa league. The Palace of the Age of the
Janissaries was saved.

Lennon, Aug. 9. .—Thc Paris papers say,
the entrance ofa new body of French troops
itito Spain, ceases tube in problem; and the
letter-writers atiticipate that the ieoccupation
of that country will create a war between
France and England.

Bucharest, uilugust t.—A Russian cotirier
from Constantinople, which he left the 22nd
tilt. has related that the whole Egyptian aruiy
in the interior of the Morea, is destroyed, and
lbraliiiii Paclia himself taken prisoner. An
imperial firinan has been issued, ordering all
persons to refraiii from speaking on political
subjects.

l’ui17s, flag. 22.—Letters from Venice say,
that Gen. Gonra has gained another victory
over the Pacha of Negropont, who, after suf-
fering great loss was obliged to return to Eu-
been, and evacuate all the districts ofEastern
Greece, which he had for a time occupied.

Landon, flag‘. 24.— We have received the
Algenieine Zeitung to the 17th instant. We
niakea few extracts, stoine of which will be
found interesting. It is still believed that some
very serious disaster has befallen Ibrahim Pa-
clia aiiil his army. Letters from Constanti-
nople, of the £’.:2d July, mention that with the
next post, “ a great event "would be made
known, which would EISIODISIRHII Europe.”

It is saidthat accounts have been received

squadron in the _West Indies, were about to
tend its troops at the Havana, and take pos-
session of the Island of'Cuba. Whether this
