The intelligence lately received from Greece, though'gcnc-
rallylfavourable to its independence, is vague and contradic-
tory, particularly so far u relates to Lord Byron and the Eng-
lish volunteers, who have offered their services. We have,
however, received au authentic account of the recent events
in the Mores, for the correctness of which we pledge our-
selves. It is contained in a letter from Prcvesa.

PULVi.SA, MMICII 31.

After three months deliberations on the best means of
carrying on the war against the Turks, the parties into'
which the Greeks are divided appear to be sensible that
they have hitherto mutually misconceived each other's
views and resources ; and the late attempt to sustain the
fortunes of the Greek Insurgents, unless quickly followed
up by more powerful succours, may be found in the sequel
only to have aggravated their situation. The Philhellen-
ists must have already perceived that the divisions and dis-
cords existing among the numerous factions are likely to'
balk, for a long time to come, any means which they can
employ to vanquish this real hydra. An event happened
in Nlissolonghi, about six weeks ago, whica must have ex-
ccedingly damped the ardour of the English volunteers in
their attempt to introduce the salutary reforms which they
have so much at heart ; and it will have convinced them,
at the same time, of the hazard of forcing the insurgents
into a course of action which is totally opposed to their
habits and mod's of acting. The Philhellerists, early in
January, t s *Wished a small arsenal and laboratory in the
place, which was protected by a Captain's ifuard.
A Suliote Cagtain, with his followers, having been refused
admittance wi.hout regular permission from the superior
authority, in a sudden gust of passion drew his pistol, and
shot the Carta n (a Prussian Officer of Lord Byron's suite),
who fell dead at his feet ! Some more persons arc said to
have lost their ives in this affray. The feelings of Lord
Byron were so strongly agitated by this cruel bloodshed,
that he was sei el with violent epileptic fits, which excited
realm alarm fur his life, but from which he happily re-
covered. It is undertood that the consequences of this,
barbarous ate city have been extremely prejudicial to the
affairs of the Insurgents, for about Is or 20 expert gunners
and artificers, sent out it is said by the Greek Committee in
London, imired:ately resolved to quit a country where
their lives were in jeopardy every hour, by those whom
they went to assist. They left Misselonghi for Zante and
Cephalonia to perform quarantine.
'fhe insubordination of the Suliote battalion (about SOO
strum, on whom Lord Byron chiefly relics) could no
don gii be talerated in Sliesoghi. 11 itb a view to with-
draw them from the place, it was resolved to make a ge-
neral movement of the insurgents assembled there. One
of the divisions was to ativanix to attack Lepanto, and the
ethsr to *dearer on Arta ; but hitherto nothing has been
dote, though Aria, from the real weakness of the garrison
rat the inn; might easily have ben surprised, and much
a!erns was felt for its safety when the Insurgents first ad-
verted from Misselongiii, at the beginning of this month.
•It is now four months since the Turkish armies retired
from Greece, leaving only small garrisons at Badrangik,
Zeiturs, and Negropout. Yet, in spite of all the active,
issistanoe and the strong incitements used to urge them
trio action, they have not been able to make any impres-
sion upon those positions, or gain ground on their enemies.
On the contrary, as their own internal discords have raged,
non.: violently than ever, they have themselves entirely
frustrated the plans so zealously urged by the English
Phlfitellenista for appiri.ing and uniting their factions, and
far laying Ilse basis of a more efficient general Federal
rnion, according to their slew of the subject.
