VERONA, Aug. 17.--Great preparations of all
kinds are waning here for the approaching Congress.
Every stranger who desires to remain here during
the Congress must prove that he is attsched to one
of the Ministers, or in his office; or if he cannot do
that, he must prove that he is under the special pro-
tection of one of the great Powers.
His Holiness the Pope has given orders to have a
residence ready for each of the three Sovereigns who
are expected to visit Rome, either during the Con-
gress at Verona or after it has closed. The resi-
dences are the Venetian Palace for the Emperor of
Austria, the Cavelli Palace fin. the King of Prussia,
and the Doria Palace fur the Emperor of Russia.
SRNLIN. Aug. 26.—N0 recent news from Seres
and Bituglia has been received ; but Turkish cou-
riers front Albania say, that the Suliots, having been
defeated in invent' actions by the Pacha of Arta, bad
submitted to the Porte, and made a convention with
the Pacha. This, if true, would be a great 'misfor-
tune for the Greeks, as the Turks would have a
large force at liberty.

on the valley of Canfran, having lett a garrison of

sada, the latter and the Trappist turned upon Me-
diano and Huesca, in Arragon, where they have

To judge by Quesada's proceedings, it should seem

Espinosa, who hoped to attack him, and force him

Quesada has been forced against his will to enter
Arragon. Whatever may be said, Quesada retains
the command of the division of Navarre; his set-
vices to the royal cause have procured him the praise
and the confidence of the troops he commands; and
certainly it must not be forgotten that it was not till
the 25th of June that this General entered Spain
with about 390 men, and that he now has under his
command above 5,000, ut' whom two thirds are per-
fectly armed, equipped, and disciplined; besides
300 cavalry, not interior in courage to their adver-
saries.
