~` 1110 GREECE. ' Welt:lye received the fitllnwing details respecting the affairs of Greece frmn a correspondent : Ci RIGO, OCT 2.—The atrairs of the Mores are going on very well. '1 he Turks besieged in Co rinth lately made a sortie from the Acropolis, but vigorously repulsed by Culorotrone, they re-entered, after losing 6,000 men. At present they amount only to 4,000, reduced to the last extremity, and in a few days they will be force.) to surrender. Napoli di Romani holds out yet, though it has not been supplied by the Turkish fleet, and it is on the point of surrendering, at least if the friends of the Turks, the Austrians, behaving both unjustly and utiliu manly, do not succeed supplying it as they huve already attempted, when the Turkish fleet tell Cape Melee. The Government has been installed at ilermione (Caste), and has recommended its opeett tions with much energy. The affairs of Candle are also going on admirably. Three Pashas lately col lected their troops near Handaka, and with some of them fresh, just arrived from Egypt, they attacked the Greeks and penetrated as fur as Spakia, but the breve Spakiots, with the other Callihan's, fitught the enemy vigorously at the village of Ingros, near Henduka, dispeteed and killed a great number, and *breed the rest to gain, precipitately, the fortressee of Cunee and Bithimi, where they are at present besieged. In this battle the Greeks took three pieces of cannon, and 3d pieces of ammunition.— From Egypt we learn that the Cassiots have cap tured, near Berouti, fourteen Egyptian vessels, loaded with corn, rice, and coffee, in returning they met two vessels loaded with Greek prisoners, whom they delivered. The Algerine and Egyptian squa drons have received orders to return to their respec tive ports, because the Pacha of Acre and the inhe bit ante of Mount Libanon are in open revolt against the Porte. Ocr. 2.4.—Four vessels, which have just arrived here from Calamata, Missolongo, and Drug°. mast), huve brought the following news:—The Turks at present besieged in Corinth only amount to 4,000 men, their numbers having bean much thinned by the different battles, and by disease. Two • thousand Albanians, forming part of the Turkish army, offered to surrender on condition of going out of the isthmus with their arms, but their proposals were rejected. As the Acropolis of Corinth is closely besieged, the Turks, nearly destitute of pro. visions and ammunitition, will be obliged to surrenel der in a few days. Napoli di Romani will only hold out fur a few days more, for it received no supplies from the Turkish fleet. Chourschid Pasha has seat another army of 2,000 men against Livadia. This army, commanded by Vrani Paella and Careandoli, advanced to the Thermopyhe, but attacked by Chlys ecus, it lost nearly two-thirds of its numbers, and the remainder were cut to pieces in their flight by Captain Contojean in the defiles of Gravitc Mier this battle Odysseus advanced to Demote), a town of Thessaiy, alter leaving a sufficient number of troops to besiege Zeitouni. Chourschid Pacha has retreated to Jainave; his troops amount only to 3,000. An inhabitant of Tricali, arrived here two days ago, infunus It: that the Pacha is making every exertion to collect more troops, but it is im possible, because the Turks demand an account of the 30,000 men who entered the Peloponnesus, and have nut returned. He also infitrms us that Capt. TAW) is master of Olympus, and prevents uil com munication with Salonieu. Captain SEurnaii has roused into rebellion all the villages situated on the descent of Pindus towards Theesuly. The Acarna , Mane sent Captains Bartialiote and Isco to Arta, aiparently to capitulate with Omar Paella, but actu ally to ascertain his force, tied the disposition of the Athenians. At their return the Acarnanians made great preparations, nut only to prevent every attack on the part of Omar, but even to act on the teen eive. They leaned that the Albanians of Berate and of Aulune had taken up anus against Omar Peelle, had killed his nephew, and captured his harem. They demand the son of Himbretm Pacha for their Governor, who is at present imprisoned in the thrtrese ofJannina. In this state of things Omar recha must keep his eye tuwurds the revoked At henians Ills troops even have dispersed and re turned home. He hue sent to the Acurnanians lately to lay down their arms, and to surrender, but they replied, they would never be under his domi nion unless as corpses; that it was usaless to send any thing but troops to them, whom they were reedy to receive. The Acarnanians have taken their measures, have sent their women and children on the other side of Asprepotame, and those who are capable of bearing arms, to the number of 8,000, ate firmly resolved to petish ur conquer, but nut to abandon their country a prey to the enemy. The neighbouring foreigners have employed all sorts of intrigues to deceive the Acarnanians, to oblige them to lay down their arms and follow the example of the Souliots, who were deceived by the same fo reigners, but they have produced no effect on the ' amid of the Acarnanians. They have many exam- says, " My brothers Xirosneri€es, I intorm you by this letter that I have received your letter which you sent me. I have comprehended the contents, and have seen that it was necessary fur us to be united to repulse the enemies. You know, my bro thers, that the Greeks of Cravari, of Apocoro, and of Zeggo, assembled ut Vrachory, where our Presi dent, Maurocorduto, and the Arcltontes, are also. lam at Cantina with 1,300 men and to-morrow we hope to set out from here, atid the others from Vrnchory, to go against our enemies with the firm resolution, under the name of the Almighty, to die with arms in our hands, and not like women. We are to meet at Machala. Without taking any other baggage than your muskets and ammunition, set out without loss of time, that we may all togeher prevent the evil." THE CONGRESS. VtaotiA, Nov. 13.—The Ministers of Austria. Russia, France, and Prussia, in concert with the Duke of Wellington, continue their conferences. There is reason to believe that the present situation of the East, awl the affairs of Spain, have hitherto been the only two objects on which the discussions of the Plenipotentiaries have turned. The Archduke Ferdinand d'Este, military gover nor of Hungary, has obtained permission from the Supreme Council of War at Vienna to quit Baden, where he had his head-quarters, to attend the Con gress. He is expected to arrive here shortly. It is positively asserted that the Emperor Alex ander will leave us on the 10th of December next, his Majesty having determined to return to the capital of his Empire in time for the Christmas fes tival. It is said that one of the Emperor's Adjutant Generals, who set out two days ago with despatches liar St. Pctersburgh, is directed to communicate his Majesty's determination to the Ministry and the Se nate. It is generally believed, that independently of the definitive resolutions, which will emanate from the Congress, the Russian cabinet has already adopted a definitive determination with regard to Turkey.— Thus, it has been remarked, that the communica tions between this city and St. Petersburgh are very active. The Russians who are here concern them selves but little about the different subjects{ which are submitted to the Congress; the affairs of the East alone fix their attention. Tn . ' NATIONA A.

He be gli ._ .. . . . , „ The Greek Deputies, buying undergone at Ancona the quarantine established by the Political Govern ment, have set out, and are already atrived at Ala, a little town situated between Verona and Roveredo. I t is understood that as soon as the Minister of State, Count Cap° d'lstria, arrives, they will obtain per mission to come here. The King of Prussia has sent for Count Kleist. This Field Marshal, who has just been appointed Minister of the Council of State, enjoys great influ ence in the Prussian cabinet. He is to accompany the King in his journey to Rome and Naples. Several parties have been given at the residence of the Emperor of Austria. The only Sovereign who was not present at them was the King of Na ples, who does not find himself quite at his ease. The Duke of Wellington frequently receives des patches from Mr. Canning; and his Grace often sends couriers to London. BAIONYE PAPERS. BAYONNE, Nov. 19.—Frequent couriers pass through, to and from Madrid. One dispatched by the I. rench Ambassador, and who lett Madrid on the Kith, reports that every thing was quiet at the moment of his departure. On the 10th and 11th the Cortes discussed and approved the plan for fo reign legions. Travellers daily arriving from the Peninsula com plain bitterly of the great number of robbers who itife:4 the high toads; but otherwise tranquillity generally prevails, especially in the great towns The most .perfect union continues between the Cones and the Ministry. _ _ _ The writer of a late article in the Journal des Debuts seems not to L acquainted with Spain, or, at least, he must have been misinformed ; tbr to believe that modifications in the Constitution might by force of arms is an illusion. The new system has struck too deep root—the revolution must pro ceed in its course: the liberals know that they can not go back, and that they are able to surmount all obstacles to the consolidation of their work. The invasion of the country by a great army, supposing it could even reach Madrid, would increase the dis order and anarchy, but not lead to the triumph which is desired, Spain is not a rich nation, whose people dread a foreign enemy—the great mass has nothing to lose; naturally poor and miserable, they are always ready to take up arms, and there is no doubt that the present government has sufficient to set them in motion. It is but too true . the three Biscayau provinces and Navarre would ,e glad to see an auxiliary army which would re store them the privileaga and commercial immuni ties which they enjoyed before the revolution; but this would have no essential influence in the interior —for these provinces have always been considered as if they were a foreign country ; the rest of the nation was jealous of the immunities they enjoyed, and had frequently demanded the suppression of them, and the Andalusians, Castilians. and other people of the Peninsula, would desire no better than to make war there, respecting the places which ma nifest attachment to the Constitution, such as Bit. boa, Vittoria, &c. It appears certain that if the late ministry had proceeded boldly, in a constitu tional manner, there would not now be any instil.- gents in the three provinces, or in Navarre, nutwilt standing the protection they have received abroad ; fix, in &et what have Eguiu, Qaesada, &c. hitherto done ? In all this time, though they flatter them selves with having the inhabitunts in their favour, they have not been able to possess themselves of a a single point d 'appui in the country, except that miserable turtified house Irati, which they would have lost long ago if Espinosa had chosen to take it; whereas the eatiNtitutioualists, though they cannot depend on the inhabitants, like their adversaries, still maintain themselves with a handful of brave men. The Gazette of St. Sebastian contains nothing in. teresting, it tnerely mentions the arrival at Vittoria of two battalions front the interior. The Saragossa Gazette says that Mina, whose head-quarters were at Agramont on the Bth, hoped to approach Urgel in a few days. The company of Miquelets under his command has lately been rein forced by :.:00 deserters from the army of General Eroles. The same journal says that Balbastro is evacuated by the Trappist, and that the troops of Velma.* again occupy the banks of the Cinca from Fraga to Andaguesa. Another battle was soon expected on the banks of the Segra, in the territory of °liana. It is supposed to be the plan of Eroles to draw Mina into his almost inaccessable position. Arrests and emigration has begun at Saragossa ; three of four Canons are mentioned as being thrown into prison and the clubbists demand that the Archbi shop shall be deposed ; the authorities have refezred to the Government, Gcn. d'Autichamp yesterday reviewed the whole of our garrison on the gluels ; the troops having manoeuvred fan s honr, marched off the groand with repreated cries of " Vive le lloi." It was a fine sight, but unhapily cost the life of a most valuable officer, M. Welch, Lient.-Col. of the 3d battalion of the 23d regiment of the line, who was thrown from his horse, and dragged by the stirrup along the glacis, and received a mortal wound. An article from Bayonne, dated the 21st, contains the following particulars :—"A report has just been spread in this city that General Torrijos, who had been for some days in the vicinity of Salvatierra, four leagues from Vittoria, at the head of about 2,500 men, had an engagement on the 15th with the united bands of Navarre and the three provinces, in the valley of La Buronda, and that he completely routed them. We cannot guarantee this news. It is affirmed that three batteries, of eight pieces of cannon each, have received orders to march from this place at the first notice. Major-Gen. Longa arrived yesterday at Socoa, flying from the Constitutional ists: it is known that he was implicated in the affair of the 7th of July, and that he had even shown himself on that day. Yesterday some unfortunate inhabitants of Estella, who bad been taken prisoners by Guerquel and Arredondo, and who saved their lives only by promising a sum of money, caused fifty thousand francs to be paid to the Defenders of the Faith who are at Bayonne. People even go so far as to mention the house which bus advanced the money, which is truly scandalous." Jamaica papers to the sth of October have been received. The House of Assembly met on the Ist, being earlier than the usual period, in order to take into consideration measures for giving facility to the operation of the new acts for extending the trade and intercourse of the colonies. Motions for consi dering the distressed state of the island, and adopt ing strict retrenchment wherever practicable, were before the Assembly. The Lieutenant-Governor , H. Conran, in his opening address to the Assembly, intimated his approaching retirement from that post. I'ORT CHARGES IN PRUSSIA nectreasen.—Extract of a letter from the agent to Lloyd'a at Memel, dated 9th November:—" Notwithstanding the able petitions sent to the Lower Court at Konigsberg some time ago, and afterwards to Berlin, the new extra port charges of a dollar per last on the British, Swedish, Norwegian, and Spanish shipping, is to take place on the 7th instant ; and this is not in unison with the reduction of the port and other charges in Great Britain," t ,
