THE GREEKS AND TURKS. (From the Austrian Observer of Dec. 8.) CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 11.—On the 47th of last month the Sultan went to the Palace of the Porte, and attended an Extraordinary Council, in which many important points, partly military and partly political, were discussed. At the end of the sitting the Sultan expressed himself with much energy on the neglect of the observance of religious ceremonies, and especially of the House of Prayer, and ordered that serious admonitions should be given on this subject in all the Mosques. The uneasiness respecting the fate of the fleets is now entirely dispelled. People are dissatis fied at the nnsatisfactory result of the campaign, and that with such great means so little has been effected : but it is How generally known that the absolute loss was of no importance*, that the pretended victories of the enemy were confined to the destruction of half a dozen vessels by the fire-ships, that the Captain Paella has not lost any part of the Sultan's favour, and that the situ ation of the empire, though in many respects cri tical, is by no means desperate.. Since the 7th of October there had been no naval action of any kind, as appears from con current testimony from Smyrna as late as the 2d ...of this month, and even from the Greek Journals, On the 19th of October the Egyptian fleet, ac companied by several Turkish ships, left Mity lene, and proceeded without meeting with any obstacle to the bay of Boudroun, where the Aus • trian schooner Arethusa, which arrived on the Ist Nov. at Smyrna, stopped some days. It consisted of between 50 and 60 men of war, two of them of 60 guns (►he Isania, bearing the flag of Ib rahim Pacha, and the Piano, that of Ismael Gibraltar +), 8 frigates of 40 to 44 guns, 13 cor •vettes, and 30 brigs and schooners, It had 200 transports, half of them European, of almost every maritime nation. With the latter renewed agree. ments had been made on very advantageous terms. The fleet was at anchor at Boudroun, 'but a division cruised in the Bay, and each ship had two boats provided with grappling irons to keep off the fire ships that might approach too • • near. Since the' Turks have observed these pre cautions, which they indeed ought always to have done, they find the fire-ships much less dangerous. It is certain, and confirmed by the frequent complaints of the Greeks, that in the latter part of this campaign two thirds of their fire ships have been destroyed, or exploded with -out effect. The Egyptian land force which had never left Boudroun was in the best condition. All the stories of the disasters by which the army was said to have suffered so much in the summer had • little or no foundation. It lost at the most 500 man, and rather more than 100 horses. it con .sisted, as before, of 18,000 foot and 2,000 horse ; and the European Officers had exercised the troops daily in the summer in all kinds of evolu tions. The two Commanders expected new and con .eideruble reinforcements from Egypt, and seemed resolved to attempt before the winter a landing in the Morea, between Motion and Coron ; but, In case the season should be too far advanced to •a How of the attempt being mole, they will winter in the harbour of Buda, in Candia. On her voyage to Smyrna, the Arelhusa met a Greek Division of thirty-eight sail on the 30th October, to the North of Lexo, which asked the Austrian Captain for news of the Egyptian Get. The most recent Greek Journals from Ilydra and Athens contain no news of importanco. (From the Al lgemeine Zeituninf Dcc. 11.) COYSTANT INOP E, Nov: 11.—For some dayi pasta report has most unexpectedly been spread that Ibrahim Pacha who had left Mitylene for Boudroun, had sailed from the latter place ,for the Mores, to attempt a landing. Though many persons doubt the truth of this news, it is not improbable, as the Greeks have suddenly dispatched to Patras thirty vessels 'from their fleet at Ipsara. Ibrahim Pacha, who was con stantly at variance with the Capitan Puha: on account •of the chief Command, though this campaign has proved so unfortunate, wishes, perhaps, to make an attempt to ingratiate himself with the Sultan. But it is difficult to believe that he will be successful; the most that can be expected is that lie will be able to relieve the fortres ses and supply them with provisions. It seems, however., `that the turn things have hitherto taken has made some IM pression on the Mind of the Sultan,' for , it is generally 'affirmed pat, on the .sth, he issued orders for the troops In the princi palities of Moldavia and `Wallachia ininiediately to evacuate those provinces. But it has so often been stated that such or dors had been sent, that we must leave it to titne to determine whether this report, which is certainlymore probable than be fore, is likewise better founded. , The Sultana Bieber), sister to the Unfortunate Sultan Selim, died a few days ago, by which the Sultan inherits nearly. two millions of piastres. • See Austrian ()Wryer of 20th November. t The Correspondent in the Jouriod des Wats, who wrote from Ancona. on the 10th November, that" he would give half Iris blond to deliver these two friends of his from their captivity APlOng the Greeks," may therefore make himself perfittly. easy. *--(A rote of Austrian Observer.) K I NG'S LYNN.---A MPPtillg of the Corporation of Lynn was held recently, at which the resolutions of the spe cial meeting of the Eau Mink Nat igation Commissioners were read, and several resolutions were unanimously . passed, de claring the determination of Tit E CO It Po RAT lox strenuously to co-operate with the Commissioners in tiny measures which might be deemed practicable to give all possible effect to the objects of their reolntions, on which, in the opinion of the Corporation, mainly depends the very existence of the town. as a place of extensive trade. We do must sincerely hope that the publication:of these resolutions will have the effect of cordially uniting all the. inhabitants of Lynn, and that a n party aw e . rences will be, merged in a matter of such vital importance 'to its interest. If the mercantile branches stiffer front the great injury the harbour as well as the inland navigation has already sustained, and the still greater • injury there is every reason to apprehend they will sustain; there is not an individual in the town but must'altio suffer, and the ruin of the port would ine vitably be followed by an alarming depreciation of all the pro perty in the surrounding country.

MEETING OF PARLIAMENT.—Saturday at two o'clock, His MAJESTY held a Privy Council at Windsor, which was attended by most of the Cabinet Ministers, when it was settled that Par liament should be further prorogued to the 3d of February, and then to sit for the dispatch of business. POLITICAL Rum° I) 1111.—We do not recollect a period when there were more speculations hi di culation respecting the Foreign and Colonial re 'scions of the Country that! the present. As to the latter much has 'been said, and said truly, on the present critical state of British India. The frequent interviews of the Two Chairs with his MAJESTY'S Government indicate an interest and anxiety, evidently arising from the reduced state in which the Marquis of HASTINGS left the Military Establishments of those possessions when he quitted India. It does not, we confess, in our opinion, redound to the credit of the Court of Directors, whilst it is much to be lamented, that acting no doubt on the representations and views of the Noble MARQUIS, they should have so totally disregarded the representations of t h e p rese nt Commander-in-Chief, and of se veral of their own immediate servants, esp - dully of Mr. JOHN ADAM, who was so of the Co much iMpressed with the ir»policy of the late reductions, niii:ny' s and of Military the n s e t :et' city , ta taugmenting he direct ed to be raised, upon his own responsibility, four new Regiments. For this most eminently useful and necessary measure, he was rebuked by the Authorities of Leadenhall-street, and, under the influence of their communications, by the Board of Controul. Not that any direct censure or re primand was conveyed to him : fortunately for the Directors, their course upon the occasion was not so direct as to lead them to record so strikingly their own want of foresight, and igno rance of the feelings of the great population they govern! It was intimated to Mr. ADAM, that he ought not, on his own responsibility, to have raised these Regiments, but as the exigencies of the Company appeared to re quire an increased force, and these Regiments were already embodied, he was told, they might remain on the Establishment ! It is not to be denied, that the. Court of Directors were misled by too implicitly relying on the judgment of Lord IlisTisias ; but that circumstance cannot wholly relieve them from tile blame of their in judicious measures. It might to have occurred to Glem that reductions are sometimes recommended and made, not in the true spirit of economy, but rather as the stepping-stone to present popularity, and to produce scene eclat at that moment, when it is most valuable—when past Services are to be rewarded, and the individual is freed from future j responsibility ! It was obvious to every person acquainted with India, that Lord'HAsmas ob. ject was to impress the Court of Directors, on his leaving India, with a sense of his great finan cial skill and judgment, and that, with that view he was reducing all the Establishments; and to to ul k s„. low a scale did he red them, dot at this mo. meta-, even *.kt ., l , i the additio of the.four new rp. gitnoA,Aere-akAtclifficient toett•-)at Calcutta to furnish the usual guard for the Government House! Under such circumstances, it is incom prehensible to , us, why Sir EDWARD PAGET'i desire, that six more regiments should be raised, was not met with cordiality and concurrence• With whom the blame may rest, we pretend not to say at present ; but we think Lord AMHERST would have done wisely, in defiance of the in• direct censure conveyed to Mr. ADAM, and even in defiance of any but the most positive instruc tions to the contrary, to have increased the Catl;.. parry's forces. We have also heard it mentioned as a sal jert of animadversion, that so young an Officer ai Colonel Sir A RCHIBALD CAmeneer. should have been appointed to the Chief Command of the Army sent to Rangoon, whilst there are so Many gallant and, experienced officers in India, of su perior rank and older standing, both in the King's and the Company's Service! Enough has already transpired to prove that the Burmese are no des. picable enemies, and that th e war will present an ample field for the display of talent and great exertion. Why , therefore, the older officers were passed over remains to be explained Probably, the Secretary in the Military explained pertinent can throw some light on this ject, and explain the reasons of those gallant officers, Sir JOHN DOVETOI4 and General Bruce, for declining to take the command of the Army on this occasion ; or, perhaps Major CANN'S°, who, we understand, is the political Agen t of the Governor-General, and has accompanied Colonel CAMPBELL to Rangoon, is better qualified to elucidate them. We should be the last, knowing the atod °ss nature of Military service, to suggest objections to the conduct and arrangements of an ° liicer intrusted n ith the direction of an important ex' pedition, but we cannot help expressing Our sur.. prise and regret that those faithful and brave troops, THE Sepoys, have not been more prod• nently brought forward. At the date of th e 135 t dispatches they had not, we are ig i formed, beat brought into action, and every Asiatic l i totes' how likely that circumstance is to excite disc on• tent and to damp the ardour of this branch of the Indian Army, and particularly if they have the misfortune to be attacked with the diseases ° the climate. The gallantry with which tlicle it ad brave men embarked at. Madras ; the spi courage they displayed in the b attle of Afa' pore; the discipline and good c onduct they haveh always shewn when led by experienced Britis Officers,—entitle them to every distinction' awl r t sdieiconsiderationrorouiitdahsoawuveere source in eo been n h i e nl existing eeixtpiri: sttiibe their re acirru,eigiarrtidt:sntihuiaLsit: ctily: datedrcorroboration Niedras ito a o d f s r In and dissatisfied. subjoin an extract front a lett er ' " You would have heen de which mentions with approbation tine con duct o f these troops:— April, las t ' all having. vo.ln:. seen your fine fellows embark, leered for Foreign Service' on the first,m.tit. ou ti r le op l i s ni t o h n o of f the Native from Suea" , , u th ' tion,'-without hesitating a m oment, Major— downwards ' • but indeed it WAS SC. ‘11,1.0 the other corps named by Government, to t t coasters, great credit as heretofore of our gallao ' in heart, who, though small in - compass, ar e big Li j have and the oely- ,question they put was , — . , I '; f : an d atrearly fought in one war, what we took in the Deckan), and a s and Conquete ~ jo; have snot yet got our prize money for il l (Ill ea . l _' li'ghted to have , long before it comes, wben shall nT g e ," a c f t er we are going to take over the, Sea ?" ii"', after it -was explained that everfeffort was , makt"r'oe those authorised in England, to obtan fro.rn,lid Cempany what 'the K ing of Great Britain !;..., N e ver ftlin a ' o ,l made over to them, they replied, " *e have eat the Company's salt many year9,f,101... if we don't get the nrize money due ,to ,- to ast ,',„Il ceremony of, our families will, as Coupon', give at last." . - enable, os The next dispatches, however, will nse . to form some judgment on the probable c°" hat that ~bat (peaces and effects of this unfortunate war; y, we must say, that in the present redoced state.elci the better in (j a i' : o n ic i i k e r d m ; y , y4 w . t ehtalvliiiinikg it would hav e be er l r l y , enaerrevse,oorru, sorry to to have been stra in e d, enot)r ked 44 ' d ' ll an ~ t e et° ' the energies of the.
