TURKEY.

Trieste, Sept. 17. A Greek vessel, which arrived here yesterday from Corfu, announces that the squadron of Ali Pacha had surrendered to that of the Porte on the first attack, by the treachery of the Greek crews. Two sons of Ali Pacha, who were on board, were put in irons and sent to Constantinople. Ali Pacha had been abandoned by most of his followers, and the Turks had entered Janina.

It is said that he has retired with about 200 men into the castle of Janina, from which it will be difficult for him to escape. It is said that the treasures amassed in that fortress, which is very strong, amount to 23,000,000 of dollars, the fruit of his robberies and oppression during forty years. The Greeks generally rejoice at the fall of their tyrant.

appear that any force is in arms against the new order of things. The following address to the Haytians" may serve to shew the existing state of affairs

"Haytians! The time of discord and division is passed. The day of re-union and concord, the most happy in my life, is arrived. Children of the same family we have all rallied under the shade of the sacred tree of liberty. The constitution is restored throughout Hayti; from the north to the south, from the east to the west, the republic beholds citizens devoted to its prosperity and inde. pendence. I will not recount the history of your past miseries; preserve the memory of them, in order to secure yourselves against the recurrence of such evils. After having taken up arms to free ourselves and our fathers from a wretched state of slavery, to which we were in subjection two cen. turies; after we had poured out our blood and made the greatest sacrifices for the country, who could have imagined that we should have become the victims of ambitious men, who did every thing for themselves and nothing for the people. You know their names. Their fatal celebrity fixed all those dreadful evils upon the country, and has sent their names down to posterity with the execrations of an oppressed people. You have before your eyes the history of the iniquitous government of Christophe, whose caprices were the supreme law. This ought to convince you that at all times the law should emenate from the general will, and not from the fancy of the individual who is placed at the head of the state.

Since the death of Tamahamaha, king of the Sandwich Islands, we hear there has been a desperate battle fought for the right of succession to the crown. It terminated in the dethronement of the young prince, son of the king-and the queen mother reigns in his stead, in virtue of her own royal descent.

during fourteen years, it has blessed those who remained faithful to its provisions, it shall now constitute the happpiness of those, whom the rebel Christophe led into error, and who this day shall return to the constitutional government. But, to

obtain this result it is necessary, Haytians, that each one of you divest himself of all personal considerations, of all particular pretensions, recollecting that every man's services are for the country, and not for himself, disdaining all advantages which take their source in intrigue or favor.

We ought never to forget the names of those brave patriots who ceased not to contend against the despotism to the very last. Those who gave most solemn pledge to the people, to make an ef. fort for the recovery of their liberty, are worthy of

the national remembrance.

Other accounts, however, shew us a different condition of things, and positively deny that Bolivar has sued for peace.
