THE GREEKS.

CORFU, Arc 22.

Letters from Prcvesa, under date of 15th instant, state that the
Seraskier was encamped in the ,•artlens of Athens. and had besieged
the fortress, but that the (creel garrison appeared decided upon
offering a vigorous resistance.
There has been published at Prevesa a &man, announcing the
success of the t'tiltan against the Janissaries, and inviting all faith.

It is said that there are frequent riots in Zante hetwen the inha-
bitants and the Austrian sailor., and that the English ministry
generally espoused the cause of the inhabitants.
There is no news in circttlatian at Corfu respecting Greek affairs.

with Russian Papers in the usual course and alto, it is said,

attack the poor, as he c,nsidertd that both partook of the same

TRIESTE, SEPT.&

We learn by the Austrian Government g;ller,titeSnilUa, that
Ibrahim Paths had met with fresh obstacl, s in the way he had
taken through the interior of the Morea, for the purpose or coming
upon Napoli di Romanis. Culocotroni is gone to Argos with
6,000 men. The result of the enterprise of the Capitan Pacha
against Samos is not yet known. The Austrian Admiral, the Mar-
quis de Paulucci, has arrived at Nopoli,vrhere he was received with
the accustom:li honours. 11C causal the Greek Primates to attend
him, will, whom he seriously remonstrated cn the subject of the
insults which had been offered to the Austrian flag, and concluded
by requiring hum their Government an indemnity of 50,000
piasttts.

COM MUNICATION WIT II ENG LA:CM—The packets have
arrived ratli.:r irregularly for some days 'past—some-
times at two o'clock, sometimes at five o'clock, and
even so late as seven o'clock in the evening. It
is evident that the present Post-office arrangements
will not answer. Inde,d, when our readers are told
what these arrangements nre, they will easfly conceive
i the cause of their failure. The London mail s not, as
many suppose, sent direct by Liverpool. The Pea-office
packets sail from Liverpool every evening at five o'clock,
with the mails from the north of England, and call at
Holyhead, betwem twelve and one o'clock at night,
for the London bags. They arc thus obliged to go
a considerable way out of their course, and have to
contend, in the darkest hours of the night, with the
difficulties of making lloljbead—difficulties which will be
increased ten-fold during the winter mouths. Any one
acquainted with the passage between this and Liverpool,
and who has ever seen the bay of Holyhead, after the wind
has blown for some time strongly from the west, must at
oitcs perceive the utta impossibility of carrying such ar-
rangements into effect. Under these circu.»stancts we
would recommend the Post-office to adopt the plan which,
we believe, had been originally proposed, and to send th.:
London mail direct by Liverpool. The mail from London
to Liverpool at present arrives at half-past seven o'clock in
the evening. It could be easily accelerated two houws, and
could be despatched from the port at half-past five o'clock.
In any thing like moderate weather, its arrival in Dublin
may be reckoned upon at nine or ten o'clock in the morn-
ing. We conceive that these arrangements would be found
to answer every purpcse.—Dublin Evening Pnst.
