An account from Corfu, of the 24th October, gives in an extract from another ease ;Ist same month, from Prevesa, some more recent particulars of the expedition of the Turkish commanders, Omer Brion. and Mehemet Pacha, against Missolonghi and the _Gulf of Lepanto.

Several ehiefk of the insurgents in Aearnania had submitted to the Porte. Nothing farther had been heard of the Suliots since the' a to Cephas lonia. It was, however, thoug htful in Corfu whether the Turks, even though they should make great progress on this side, would be able to accom plish the conquest of the Mores in the course of the winter, without a perwerful operation from the Isthmus of Corinth. MARIIPILLCS, Nov. 4.—We have news hem that the Turkish fleet appeared off Solo in the middle of October, and took on board fresh provisions on the coast of Asia Minor. It was inferred from this, that the fleet would not yet return to the Dardanelles, but undertake as expedition against some island in the Archipelago. An attack on Samos was piracy lady spoken of as probable, but up to the middle of October it had not been made. Many persons are of opinion that these reports were spread merely to keep up the expectations ague Turks, and not let them wok into despondency, Which, in fact, accord ing to the unanimous account of Frenchmen in the Levant, has almost every where taken the . place of their former arrogance. Constantinople alone is an exception ; no more moderate system has yet been adopted there to satisfy the just complaints of the Foreign Ministers. They have most of them inter fered with great seal for their countrymen, and demaJbaed Ow pm.' of the Amoy bunleas under which Ater iulfer. Hitherto the English legation alone has been successful in its demands, as the Eng lish in general enjoy peculiar favoursiConstantino ple, and the whole Turkish empire. The navigation of the Black Sea, and the intercourse with the Rus sian port on it, is an eyesore to the Turks, and they do every thing on their part to obstruct it. TRIESTE, Nov. 5.- T .From the depositions of the captains of the Austrian vessels that have arrived here from Smyrna within a few days, it appears that two Austrian brigantines, the Nieman and the Sioceto, commanded by Captains Calvi and Palini, Sad accompanied by an armed brigantine, had sailed from Smyrna, laden with provisions for Napoli di Ittimania; that they were taken by the Greeks, and thit two Austrian frigates had sailed from Smyrna to Hydra and SpesAia, to demand an account of' them. The captain of a Sardinian brig, in twelve days from Smyrna, confirms the above, and adds, that the Greeks had carried into Spessia a Freuch ship laden with core, but Oats French frigate had released it, and compelled the Greek captain to pay a fine of 32,000 piastres. 'f he captain of the trian brig-Waterloo, in 24 days from Smyrna, re lates the same particulars, and adds, that the Aui trian ambassador at Constatitinople sent a courier to the commander of the Austrian flotilla, with orders to do his utmost to have the Austrian flag respected ' and protected, and nut to regard any opposition from the Greeks, of whatever description it may be; that lie had landed at Zea, where he was told that the great Turkish fleet hid failed in its endeavours to relieve Napoli di Romania, and had gene either to Suds or to the Dardanelles. biildLlN, Nov. S.—The post from Salonichi, of the 20th, and fr m Seres, of the 22d October, is sr. rived. The late report that Abdalluli Pucha had disappeared from Salonichi is not confirmed. 'Tran quillity prevailed in both these cities. Three Begs had been sent tram Seres to Asia, because they had reftNed to join the corps of Jussuf Pasha intended against the Moreu. Venous, Nov. 16.—1 t was thought, some time ago, that the evuenation of Piedmont, by the Aus trian troops, was a point agreed upon, in the preli *ninety conferences which took place at Vienna, between Prince Metteruich and the Ministers of the other great Powers. It is reported, however, that unexpected difficulties have arisen on this subject, because Austria judges it requiiiir, front the main. tcuauu of taattgtxluty in the L41 6 1)111 of Lunilkncly • Ottr 4 Pr. e" • - I , Paie 90, to that of the Minilien's and Camanists, the parti sans of thy French Charter ; but the union which diatinguishei the friends of the Constitution in the year 1821."

In the'sitting of the Cortes on the 10th instant, 'Don Bertrand de Lis addressed that assembly in the following terms :—" As a Spaniard and a repre sentative of the nation, I can no longer suffer myself to pass over in silence the conti-rial insults which the French Government is heaping upon us. I therefore feel it my duty to submit the proposition which I sm about to state to the consideration of the Cortes. I propose that the Cortes shall direct r the Minister for Foreign Affairs to demand a pledge from the French-Government, that it will no loni;er afford protection to the degenerate Spaniards 4rho retire into the French territories, in order to con spire against their country. I also propose that the same Minister shall be directed to demand a clear and decisive explanation from the French Govern ment, as to whether it wishes to be considers& as the friend or enemy of Spain ; and that he shall communicate the declarations that the French Go. vernment may make to the Cortes, either in a public or private outing,.as shall be deemed most fitting." He then proceeded to state his reasons for making the proposition, and concluded till - 11'1=u Spain has nut provoked, and will not provoke, war. Spaniards know bow to respect the rights of other nations ; but if the Holy Alliance, or the cabinet of St. Cloud, provoke a war, they will always find us pre pared to meet it. Spanianls are not so absurd as to imagine that victory is dependent on their wishes, but they ate satisfied of the firmness of their char:. ter and of their noble determination to prefer a glorious death to a life of ignominy and degradation; they will descend into the tomb with their enemies rather than submit to be again harnessAl io the oar lila ferocious despotism. If our enemies, snore for. tunate than us, should be victorious, they should know that they will be masters over ruins only, end not over men who have sworn to the eunstitutien or death.' " The proposition was lost upon a division. the hers being—in its devour 34, against it 66. HA A R LEM, Nov. fB.—We learn from Harnburgh that the Assembly of the Citiliinit has reyeted tila proposal of the Senate to let the existing tariff of im port duties continue in term for some time longer, and it will therefore cease on the Ist of January, 1823. The deficiency in the revenue of the city, which will be caused by this measure, must be pro vided for by other taxes, the burden of which, it is expected, will be compensated by an increase iu the commerce of the ci y. On the 17th of this intinth, at four o'tlock in the morning, the liglrnitig struck the vane of the belfry of the cathedral of Valencuy, and se'. it on fire. The progress of the fl tines was terrible ; they con sumed the whole rapidly, in spite of the united exertions of the garthon, of the firemen, and of more than 4,000 persons tell° came to their assist ance. The weather was stormy, and great disasters were dreothd, had not the wind changed to the north. All the b.:lls are licol:co; only the walls re. omit).

On the 14th de Zaks of the different Ministers dined together in the street d'Alcala. It is announced that the Mantel Guard will give a second fete in Celebration saf the triumphs of the Constitinional Army. Amounts from Andalusia prove that a similar enthusiasm prevails there • in deed, the expression of opinion among the we althy classes is every when deeided. The negotiations with Portugal stand precisely in the same situation as before. It appears that the Pertugume government leftists in requiring us toi *ls Oliveuea, which ant'government think. iP 'cannot in honour consent mi. The Portuguese troopi still maintain their (ureter position on the banks ti the Minhn. It is rumoured that the indite:Mee of England has impeded the execution of the treaty ; the cabinet of Lisbon being nut unwilling to enter into one with that power. On the other hand it is said, that i the policy of the Holy Alliance has had same share in preventing the neguciations between the two nations of the Peninsula from being brought , to a conclusion. Government has adopted the most wise and ener. getie measures for ensuring the surrender of Mega ineuza. This town is now the only place which the rebels possess in. Arragon. When hitciiiinensa is occupied by the constitutional troops, the rebels will be compelled to retire towards the frontier, where they still retain possession of Urge' and Irati, their last holds, from which they will soon be driven by the bravery and activity of Aunt opponents. A letter from Burgos sapp.—" The sth of this month (November) was a joyful day for the friends of the present order ol"things. The brave Obregon entered this place with 338 prisoners, whom he cap tonal on the Slst of October, in the engagement with the priest Merino, at 4ttss. These untiinunat..: men, far from being depressed by their fortune, entered the town singing patriotic songs, and shout. ing " Long live the cuilistitution! long live Diego I" At the same time they uttered imprecations against the tntitor who had seduced or compelled them to follow him. They all eagerly demanded arms, that they might march against him or the rebels in Catalonia.
