`.. UNA 840 FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. ODEssA,SiTipt .80 —(Estract of a private letter.) —We h .ve had tor wane days frequent arrivals of vessels from Constantinople, and they all bring us news which is favourable to the rause of the Greeks in the Peloponnesus and the Ntorea. The captains if these vessels, to whatever nation they may belong, are all agreed that at present there prevails a general humiliation and discouragement at Constantinople. The exhausted state of the treasury—the avidity of the Government, which covets all the pree.ous me tills yet in the possession of in•lividutils, and the bad news which tits arrived from Greece, and from Asia, where the Persians have gained great advantages, Lava all conspired to produce discontent and con sternation in the inhabitants of the capital. At the departure of the last of these vessels, the news of a great naval victory obtained by the Greeks in the vicinity of the Sirens ofNegropont was also in cir culation. it is generally agreed that the Helleniass have fought va!iantly in the Mmea at the last intro. 'ion, that the Lieutenant of Chourschid has bum shamefully driven out of it, and that there remain very few of all the warriors who accompanied Way except a few fugitives who have found. refuge for a short time in the walls of Corinth. We contras that the Greeks have signalise.: themselves by their acts. vity and tl.C:r courage—that they have done much, rime even than could be expected from u people so Jung enervated by the most cruel slavery. But we do not the less look forward to the future without inquietude. The last victories which the Greeks have gained may, perhaps, not be snecesse.s, and may induce some set the Christian Powers to declare in t'avour of the Turks. Aceoriling to the principles proclaimed in some European Cabinets, one is almost tempted to believe, that they arc disposed to make common cause with the Divan. It is, besides, no longer a mystery, that a Power which always pre tends to the direction of European affairs, wishes it to be formally declared at the approaching Congress,' and adopted as a principle, that the Sublime Porte forests an integral part of the European system, and which signifies, in other words, that the Grand Sig. nitre is a member of the Holy Alliance, though he has not yet been required to sign that solemn treaty. But his Highness will always reap from it the great. eat advantages, for this treaty insures him against every body a guarantee fur his provinces, and the integrity of the Ottoman empire. BUCIIARB.T. &PT. 2G--Tha new Hospodar, Gliika, has made his entry into this city, surrounded by his Counts, and by 2,700 Turks, who served him as an escort. The tinnier Turkish garrison, pretty Ztell enriched during its stay here, has given way to these new corners. We hope, however, that no more than 700 men will remain in Bucharest, and that the rest will be =toned iu the neighbouring villages. FRONTIRS OF MOLDAVIA —What has passed in the two principalities since two years, and is now pus:sing, exceeds all belief. Posterity will not credit our recitals, and yet they are perfectly correct. The Twits, it appears, have the privilege of bringing the ...,plague into Europe, and they do not neglect to wale use of it. The two Christian provinces of Wallachia and Moldavia are now transformed into two Turkish Victualer. A 1/van-Effendi, under the name of a Christian Prince, decides on the life or death of the unhappy ‘Vallachiatis and Mohla viuns. The evacuation, of which so much has been said, was only a ridiculous piece of fraud and decep tion, for as Janissaries, gorged with blood sod pil lage, departed on cue side, there entered on the other the Bulgarian militia, equally desirous of plunder. Mistortunes succeed uninterruptedly, and no end to them is lisreseen, far the audacity and in. solence of the "i'urks constantly increase. The Hos podur, Glaka„ has uniced with a corps of fresh troops, and set hungry courtiers, at Bucharest, alias the troops had left. This is the promised evacua tion ! Tniatre, 0(v. 8 —We have received important news from the Moreu—the Tarts, who had taken refuge in Corinth, wade a sally on Sept. 16, which had a fatal terminatiou for them. The Greeks killed 4,000 of them, and afterwards made themselves wasters of the town awl vitt of Corinth. The re mains of the Ottoman army had again taken refuge in the citadel, where there are also 3,000 wounded and sick, which also adds nut a little to the mbar iits.ment if the Turkr, thoil i ;11 they received 10Ule supplies the evening before they made the sally. The Turkish dect, as we have heard,. has passed along the Morca, going towards the Dardanelles, hut constantly pirrued and iintioytil by the Greek fleet, and losing continually on the viyage.

CONS IA NTINOPLZ,S, EPT. 12.—The following is a copy of the note presented by Lord Strangford to the Sublime Porte on the 27th of August:— " The Ambassador has the honour tolcall the attention of (hi Sublime Porte to an object which is of the highest importance to the interests of the British merchants. " On dillerent occasions the undersigned has already ad dressed to the Reis I Eendi, representations on the subject of the debts which Engles% subjects base to recover from the pro pet ty of creeks who tled at the cummencemeat of the rebel. lion. (Ceara%) Seraph, in Port Royal Harbour, Jamaica, • 25th of Aulust, 1b22. St It ,—The accompanying affidavits, made by Hugh Hamilton, a free person of colour. and Mr. Smith, the muster of the sloop Blessing, respecting the plunder of that tassel, aud the murder of her master and his son„are uf so extraordinary a nature, that to kethe earliest opportunity of putting their Lordships iota possession thereof. The motive of Hamilton, in disseminating a gratuitous false hood of the nature contained in his deposition, is not knovb to this island, nor can anybody imagine for what purpose it could have been done. He sailed hence on the Ist of this mouth in the ship ilebeeve, Ldney, toaster, for Glasgow, in ,the neigh bourhood of which place it is believed his father, Mr. Hamilton West (a few years since an attorney in Jamaica) resides, and where it is probable he may be heard of, should tacit Lordships think the subject worthy of further notice. As fabrications have been frequent, mid storks much exag gerated. respecting the molestation of the Ito itish commerce is these until. I feel anxious to trice, if possible, their authors, and to be convinced that the ohject is not with a vi,w to in crease or keep up the insurance. I have the bonoor to be, Sm. (Signed) C. ROWLEY, Rear Admiral. J. W. Croker, Esq. " The department of the Defterdariat, to which this stair was referred, has constantly replied that the question could only be decided according to the Mussialrean laws, and that those laws, always wise and just, did not permit the Sublime to dispose of the property of its Greek subjecti, finless the proprietors were present, or duly represented by tleir at torture. " It is, however, Matter of public notoriety that meat of the Greeks in question have only been induced to expatriate them selves by the fear and alarm which the public cWerveseeoce heal generally diffused on the first moments of the "remit, when the distinction between the innocent and the guilty was not well established, ■nd when all Greeks, without exception, ap peared criminal in the eyes of an exasperated populace. " It is also notorious that these Greeks, whose uuly crime is timidity (and whom the Ambessailor does not confound 'RA the traitors who have Red to avoid a well-merited punishment) have fur the most part taken refuge is foreign countries, that they autsiously long for the moment when they may return to their homes, sod that nothing but fear and uncertainty as to the reception they might experience. still induces them to re main ander the dontioion of another Power. " To dissipates these apprehensions—to recall to their native la 4 these urfortuoute victims of a very natural alarm—in flue, to ena4e British subjects to recover what is due to then' by personally suing their duties before the competent tribunals. requires only a word from the Sublime Porte. Let, theta, that word be spoken! The unfoitinwite men whom the force of cir cumstances have alone driven to a temporary removal (ruin their eountry, will then return. The Government will resume its rights over a considerab!e part of its own subjects, and those of the King of Great Britain will not have to experience the fatal edicts which the prolonged absence of their debtors must produce on their interests. " The total of the demands amounts to so large a sum, and the necessity of payment bas become so urgent, that the Am bassador would be wanting iu his duty if he did not request Om Sublime Porte is adopt the only means which in the actual state. of things can obtain far English creditors that justice which they have long and vainly solicited—namely, by making publicly known what are the intentions of the Government with respect to the debtors, and by giving a formal assurance that they may without risk to their persons, return home and appear before the competent tribunals, is order that justice may be done to their creditors. SIR ROBERT WILSON. TO THE ELECTORS OF SOUTHWARK. London, Oct. 26, 1822.

On the receipt of the order I applied through the proper official channel, for commonication of the motives, which bad determined the French Government to adopt the measure. Mt written answer could be obtained, but I received a verbal as surance, "'That the measure was not ascasatory, but one which was rendered necessary in my owu intere►t, as well as that of the French Government, by my political puit;old, which made me in spite of myself (walyrd adai) a layer or rallying point for the opponents of the French Government to gather round, and under the shelter of it tocircnlate their m • ."

BOWRING'S CASE. FROM SATURDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE. BOULOGNE SUR MER, Wednesday, Oct.2S, two es'elock.- 1 have been admitted to Mr. Bowring, being the brat English man to whom he has spoken for the last 12 days, Mr. Hutchin son having seen him only for a few minutes when first arrested. At a late hour last night a new interrogatory of four pages ar rived at Boulogne, with orders from the French Government that the Secret should be taken otf when Mr. Bowring bad answered the questions. lie was examined this morning; one of the que►tions, Mr. Bowring tells me, ran nearly thus:—Did not ['Wavier apply to you fur funds to procure the release of the sionspirators recently executed, and did you not come to France for that purpose?—Another, W ere you not connected this way with the families of Lady Hutchinson and Lady Oxford, long known for their political intrigue■ against the reigning family (counties (feria longtime pour tear intrigues politiquet rontre le fitsnille regnante I) and was not the house in the Rue de Clichy, in Paris the rendezvous er this intrigue? Mr. Bowring is quite well : during the day Ise is allowed the use of the gaoler's room, but at night be is locked up with the common prisoners in a most hlthy bole. lie has written to his wife by this conveyance ; but there is so order fur his release; nor will there be until the return of the messenger from Paris with the answers to the interrogations. He will then be either released or an act of accusation nude out for his trial. Mr. Hutchinson is now with him. There was an order for his transfer to l'aris several days ago, but he took advantage of an article in the code which declares that no man shall be forced from the spot oohs:se arrested until an act of accusation is prepared against him. The order of the arrest was in these words—" For the facts with whirls he is charged." Sir C. Stuart has declared that there was no charge against Sir R. Wilson, and that lie has written to that effect to the British 'Government.—Sir Robert was only too popular. Mr. Ilutchinsisn was going to Paris, but lie is advised not lo go. Mr. Hutchinson is °remorse very indignant at the mention of his name, but be assured that all will end in smoke. There is no charge against any individual which can seriously affect him. Mr. Mooring says that his arrest originated in an intrigue, of which one of the hest subjects of France was die head, and that he can prove this by document. • The despatch of the Portuguese Ambassador, which was seized on Mr. Mooring, was received by him us Thursday...— The seal Lad co Wendy been broken, and part of the contents had been stolen by the French Government.
