Accounts from Trieste say that Austrian vessels, which hid
taken in cargoes of provisions at Constantinople for the purpose of
supplying Plural and Lepanto, have not been able to pass titotigh
the Greek squadron blockading these two places, and that they
will perhaps be obliged to go and unload at Zante.
From the preparations making here, it is thought that the
Capitan Pacha will go against Samos, and that, after having
erected batteries on the cenurt of Asia, he will attack that Island.
Four Oustas of the Janissaries have lately been arrested, accused
of having been eoncerred in the late conspiracy. It appears that a
refractory spirit still prevails In that corps.
Tice public attention was much engaged some days by the ex.
traoidinary purchases which the principal English mercantile
house in this post waa making in every direction, of silk, cochineal,
cotton. &c. The Corporation of Turkish Merchants has cant.
plained of this forestalling, which raised the prices, and depri red
the manufactories of the country of the means of working. The
Government bas not yet come to any decision.
The Captain Pacha still affirms the submission of Odysseus,
irho is said to have already given up his family as hostages into the
hands of Outer Pacha of Negropont.

CONSTANTINOPLE, MARCH 16.
The Porte has caused a new Note to be presented to Mr. Turner,
the English Chargé d'Airdiris, warmly remonstrating on account
of the supplies with which England has again furnished the
Greeks. especially in artillery, ammunition, &c. The Dragoman
of the Porte has had a very warm altercation on the subject with
Mr. Turner, who declared to him that lie had no knowledge of the
fact ; that he was convinced the Portehatl been deceived by the re-
ports made to it, but that be would however transmit to his Go-
vernment the Note which had been delivered to him. It :appears
that the Porte is likewise much dissatisfied with the Lord High
Commissioner and Authorities of the lonian Islands. M. de
beanpierre is expected, and till his arrival all diplomatic negocia.
tiOnS with M. de Minziacky will be suspended.

The hew, of Patras is still blockaded by sea and land. The
maltestents :Mg been driven from nut iftland, have by this time
submitted to toe Greek Government, for Zelmis. Andri Londe',
Calamogdartis, ane, Colocotmni, are at present on their trial ; but
time general opinion is, that this affair will terminate in a general
amnesty. Alanroandato, a man always justly esteemed, has just
arrived at Napoli. and there is no donbt that his conciliatory cha-
racter will set aside all difficulties. The report that Odysseus had
withdrawn into a cavern, is false; but there are no fables that the
friends of the Turks will not invent respecting him. Ilia defection
exists only in the Sp-Hatt:sr Oriental, or rather the Journal of the
Turkish Cadi of Smyrna. The pirates of Vohs, taken by the
Cambrian. will be placed in the hands of the Greek Government, to
be tried. The island of I:ubcca is overrun in every part by bands
of Guerillas, who keep the Turks shut up in the fortresses. A
naval division of the Capitan Pasha is in the Dardanelles.
ibrahim-Pacha, son of Mehemet Ali, has returned to Egypt;
his father has authorised an agent to draw upon him for
500,000 francs for the purpose of procuring him officers in France.
General B—, who is at present at Alexandria. is organising
bodies of blacks into reginients. The insnrrcction which has broken
out in Syria. makes some progress. The death of Ismael Gibral-
ter, Admiral to Mehemet Pacha. has been announced, he was a re-
negade who has created more talk than he deserved. The Ottoman
Porte ftequenoly deliberate' and consults with the French Ambas-
sador on the plans of the approaching campaign. An unfriendly
disposition prevails against Lt•gland at Constantinople. on account
of the last loan of 2 COO,OOO contracted for at London, by the
Greeks. The Divan cannot conceive how his Britannic Majesty
has not the power of decapitating the bankers for meddling in such
an affair. The most perfect tranquillity reigns In the Pelopon-
nese:is.
