GERMAN PAPERS.'
♦IGUNA, NOlPElkatil. 12.
Reports from Zante of October 9, furnish the fol-
lowing news :
Since the submission 61 the Suliots and that
warlike nation, the Turks are masters in Albania,
and Omer Riche, with a corps of 11,000 men, was
advancing towards Missolunglii. At this place Mau-
rocordato has hitherto firmly Maintained his ground.
His situation is, however, a difficult sine, for be must
create all his means of ilefeuce himself ; the other
mi!it.iry chiefs, who take him for a philosopher (that
is, in their language, fur a visionary), would rather
give him passports to retire, than auxiliary troops,
because he suits their views as little as Negri and
othets, of whom they have contrived to rid them.
selves.

According to the present appearance of affitirs,nu
decisive nndertakings are to be immediately expect-
ed in the Mores. If the Insurgents should attempt
(what they have not yet ventured!) 110 attack on the
position of the Turks, pear Corintli,it is highly im-
probable that they should succeed in it. All the for-
tresses occupied hy the Turks, Corinth itself, Napoli
di Romania, Coron, Morton, Paters, and the castles
in the Gulf of Lepanto, are now so amply supplied
with ammunition and provisious by the care of Jussuf
Pad's, who has rendered the most important ser-
vices to the Porte on this occasion, that they have
nothing to fear, but at the most a fruitless blockade.
On the other hand, the Turks having thrown
away their first advantsgei, will hardly make any
progress in the interior of the Peninsula, unless
they find means to penetrate through the Isthmus
with it very numerous army. amply supplied with
pnivisions. This again depends 011 the state of the
war in Thessaly and Lived's, respecting which we
have here (in Zstitr) only most uncertain and coa-
ltradictory accounts.

The great Turkish fleet, in consequence of ex.
press orders from Constantinnpte, left the coasts of
Palm. Of its subsequent fate we at pineal know
nothiog more than that after doubling Cape Mute.
pan, it had not met till beyond Cerigo with any
Grek ships, and that the Captain Pacha intended
to employ the greater part of the troops still on
board the fleet to reinforce the garrison of Napoli
di Romania. Within these few days a ►eport has
been spread of a naval action off Sprzzia, in which
the Greek ships are said to have suffered greatly.
The fort of Navarino has been voluntarily aban.
doned by the ;Insurgents for want of ammunition
and provisions, and it has since became the resort
of all the banditti and pirates of the Morea and the
lonian Islands.

At Napoli di Malvasia a quarrel, attended with
bloodshed, bad broken out, the issue of which is not
yet known. A great number of Spezziots had
landed there with their families, and demanded the
command•of the citadel. The blainotes opposed
this projeit, and an niftily ensued. in consequence
of which the %Motes were Obliged to shut them-
selves op id the citadel, leaving the town and
suburbs to the Spezziots. A Captain Giannetarlii,
at the head of 300 men. blockaded them there. The
Caplan, Pacha might have taken this place, which
is novvery strong, in fuur-and-twenty hours, if he
had been better informed of what was passing there.
It is impossible to caleulate what would be the
fate df the unfortarnate 'Peninsula, if the present
state of' things should continue through the winter,
us there is every appearance of its doing. The
chiefs of the severe! ponies at variance with each
other ravage the country, or if in emulation of each
other, and extort-4nm the inhabitants the last rem-
nant of theieformer prosperity. The most desirable
event wouldie, that one of the chiefs ehould make
himself ode-master. Colocotrosi is the one most
likely to succeed in this. At all events, though
not a *bit better than the ethers, he is mach more
artful, and has not studied for nothing in the school
of Ali Pacha. It at said that he has lately had the
Greek Constitution, se it is 'called. proclaimed

le* at Tripoirsza, 'an'd bet up a A:plow of a

~{epublicao Government. Demetrius Ypsilanti,
whb has hitherto maintained himself merely by his
inkignificsnce and his implicit adherence to Colo-
cistroni, is said to be gone to Livedia. to oppose to
the advance of the Turkish reinforcements all the
resistance which the nature of the country allows.
Since the commencement of the summer our
'island has been the refuge of many of those much-
foreigners. who. impelled by the first
enthusiasm for the Greek cause, had offered their ser-
vices to the Insurgents. Most of them soon met their
death in that scene of misery, the others struggled
with difficulties of every kind. Among those who
'returned, there were many who, at least according
to the language which they held here, were resolved
to di) their utmost when they got home, to warn
their countrymen against similar delusions. Yet
we will hear of new comers ; it is even said that
there are in Gatnany regular recruiting societies,
who would soon send to the Insurgents whole regi-
silents. To us it seems incredible that the enlight-
rued and benevolent German Sovereigns should
look calmly on such cruel proceedings.—(Austrian

TRIESTE, NOVEMBER 3.

Letters just received from Aucona say, that the
Pope no longer permits the Greeks who have fled
from Russia to embark there for the Morea to com-
bat fur the Christian faith. They are to go
back to Venice; but they will not be received there
either. Most of them will at length perish miser-
ably through these continued wanderings.- - Allge-

CLRLSBUHE, NOVEMBER 16.

The joy rcapaed by the b►rth of a wn to the
Margrave Leopold, has been suddenly clouded in
the most afflicting manner. The young Prince,
born the 26th olt. was to he baptized yesterday,
the Fite (or Saint's day) of his father. All the pre-
parations were made, when the infant Prince was
wised with an inflammation in the bowels, which
rapidly increased, and ended in his death this morn-
ing at one o'clock.—( Frankfort Papers, 1V0v.19.)
