THE GREFES.

We have just received a remarkable report from Corfu,
dated December 9, from which we make the following ex-
tract :
The freedom and the independence of Greece were late], exposed
to great danger. The happy events in the middle of November
have happily averted it, arid the protection of heaven will do the
rest.
By the occurrences before the last campaign, Colecotronl, Mau-
sonnehali, Langoe, and their adherents, had lost all credit. The
Government generously pardoned them. considering the services
which they had previously done to the cause of the Greeks. It had
the intention of again employing them in a more confined sphere,
because it hoped that, being cured of their delusion, they would
endeavour to study the interest of their country. But it was de-
ceived in its expectations. A report had long since been spread
that Coloeotroni hag been carrying on sicret negotiations with the
Turks, and that Alauromichalt had received Turkish agents from '
Candle, and had kept up a correspondence with the Turkish Corn-
mender-in-Chief in that Island. But these reports met with no 11
credit, and even the Government. which caused these Chiefs to be 11
watched, could not obtain any accurate information respecting their
intrigfies. But now the important discovery has been made, not
only that there was a former correspondence between these Chiefs,
but that it was renewed at the end of last summer, alien the Porte
seriously turned it' attention to the conquest of the Mores. To
prevent all suspicion, the negotiation is maid to have been carried
on this time, not through 'lurks, but through European agents
(whom we will not particularize). These agents pretended to be
Philhellene', who were come to toe Alorea to serve the CALM of
the Greek*. Eve'', thing was arranged, and the libetticide com-
pact was concluded.
Frons that time Coloeotroni made military preparations under
various pretexts. It was resolred that as sun as Ibrahim Pseba
should land in the Peloponnesus, Colocotroni should issue a pro-
clamation dertarMg in his favour, and lain him with all his fol-
lowers. The Greek Government learned nothing of these negoci-
&lions ; it was not till Ibrshim.Pacha was driven back to the
Asiatic coast, that it was informed of what had passed, and this
from a confidant of Coloeotroni who betrayed him. It immedi-
ately toot its measures accordingly, and the ambitious Chief
seeing his plans betrayed, revolved on civil war. Ile was de-
feated, but had thesgood fortune to escape. It is belieeed he will
leave the Mortis. Alahromieltali is said to have bad am share in
the last plor.--;VirecmhergeCorrespowdene, Jan. 23.
The reports from the loponnesus are rather more eatisfeetory
to the friends of the Greeks. After the death of young Coleco-
tenni, who was supported by the celebrated Amazon, Bobelina
(whom the troops of the Government took prisoner), the Govern-
ment has got the superiority, and there seers no fear that Colo-
cotroni the father will be able to revenge himself. —Ai/omelet
