THE LEVANT.

The screw-steamer Livorno arrived at Southamp-
ton last night from the Mediterranean. Her dates
are: Patras, Aug. 26, and Gibraltar, Sept. 3. ller
cargo consisted of fruit from the Gulf of Lefanto,
amounting to 300 tons. A dispute took place be-
tween the British and native merchants at Patras
respecting the prices fixed on for the season's fruit.
The Greek government interfered to protect native
growers. The dispute was so serious that violence
WAS apprehended, and the commanders of the British
merchantmen in the harbour were prepared to fire
on the town. The Greek government at length gave
way. Greece is in a wretched state. Brigands and
pirates abound in the country and on the neighbour-
ing seas. A Greek vessel of war brought in to Patras
harbour during the stay of the Livorno there a large
number of prisoners belonging to the above-named
desperate and lawless class, who had been captured
near Mesalonghi and in the Gulf of Patras.
