not the least foundation. In regard to the Portuguese armament,
the marine of Portugal only consists of one ship of 80 guns, three
frigates, four corvettes, and live stops of war, and half of these can
scarce keep the sea. Some transports are preparing at Lisbon, to
many troops to the Cape.de Vent Islands, to prevent them from
being taken by a coup de sada by LordCochrane. BRIGHTON. Jaw. 17.

The last letters from Servia of the Iron, and those from Bitaglis
of the 7th, announce that many Greeks have been arrested in Ma-
cedonia by order of the Pasha of clalonica, anti that their proper.
ties have been confiscated. tale rich Meeks who have escaped
from thit province, and who e arrived at Belgrade, present the
most frightful picture of the hardships there exercised; but from
the news they bring, • doubt is entertained as to the existence of
the celebrated Abdallabut. Letters from Macedonia and Constan-
tinople, have, however announced his execution, but it is pos-
sible that a mistake of the name has been the recasion of this news.

Direct intelligence? ecently received from 31issolonghi, announces
that 12,000 Greek troops have landed mar that city. They took
advantage of the destruction of tl.e Turkish squadron which formed
its blockade, to embark at Caloeole, and they happily arrived at
their destination. This reinforcement had caused great discom-
fiture amongst the Turks. The traps commanded by the Pasha
of Seudari have revolted against their chief, whom they accuse of
having caused them to fall lotq a snare. All the efforts of the'
Paella to resters order have pftved fruidess; he was compelled to
prove to his soldiers that he did got mean toconduct them to artain
death, to make proposals to the Greek Chief 3letase, commanding
at 3lissolonghi, supplicating to grant hint an armistice, and per-
mission to ell at his retreat without minnyance. " I shall notconsent
