the southern part of the Peleponessus, but has been
repulsed without being able to force a passage. The
Greeks of Livaaia havo concentrated themselves in
their turn, and menace Mahomet in the rear, unless
they can effect a speedy retreat.
Although it has been reported that the Prince
Ypsilanti had retired from the Morea, it nevertheless
appears, from various reports, that he was at the head
of the corps of Hetarists, by which the isthmus of
Corinth has been defended with so much success. It
is the l'rince Cantacuzene who commands in the
Morea. The Archbishop Germano has been very
successful, and continues to enjey great influence.
The ships of war which form the squadron of the
Captain Paella have finally etlixted the junction of
their fleet with that of Clara-Ali-Ismael, commander
of a division of the Turkish fleet which has not yet
been seriously engaged with the Greeks. But pri-
vate letters mention the arrival of a Greek squadron
at the mouth of the Adriatic Gulf, and according to
all appearances there will soon be a naval combat in
those parts, because the two fleets are but a little
distance from each other.
Aunsauno, OCT. 3 I .—Extract of.a private letter
dated Vienna, Oct. 22.—" The journey of Prince
tie :Metternich to Hanover has been the subject of
universal conversation in this capital during the last
days. We are very fiir from being desirous to pene-
trate the secrets of policy; but we may be justified
in communicating what is said in our circles. It
may be relied upon, that this government continues
in the same relations of good intelligence with
Russia, and that all its efforts tend to the main-
tenance of peace in the rest of Europe. This ob-
ject can only be obtained, in as far as the Otto-
man Porte will consent, unreservedly, to the just
demands of the cabinet of St Petersburgh. It is
true that the Divan have acceded to most of these
demands, but much difficulty exists relatively to
the guarantee required by the Emperor Alexander
in favour of the Greeks.

" The English Ambassador at Constantinople
had, it is affirmed, in the first place, proposed some
modification in the demands made by Russia; but
this Power would not consent to them. Austria,
on the contrary is of opinion as well as Prussia, that
the Porte ought to give the guarantees to the extent
demanded by Russia. it was in this state of things
that it was decided that Prince Metternich should
proceed to, Hanover, to influence the King of
England to make common cause with Austria. If
his Highness succeed in this important negotiation,
England will be obliged to relax much in the policy
she has hitherto held to, in regard to the Turks."
FRONTIERS OF IT SLY, OCT. 19.—The following
details concerning Ali Paella of Janina have been
received by way of Venice. At the commencement
of the spring, when the affairs of Greeo began to
wear a favourable appearance, Ali commenced a
train of negociations with the Turkish commanders
in Epirus; in the first instance he addressed himself
to Pascho Bey, and it is probable that by the advice
of the latter the ex-Grand Vizier Churchid was
induced to listen to the propositions of Ali, which
it is said, principally consisted of a demand to be
reinstated as Paella of Albania, and to retain the
right of keeping up troops of inflintry within the
~boundary otitis government. It appears, however,
that the conditions (whatever their n tire) "ere not
' too burdensome for the Turkish nation to submit to,
since Churchid thought it his duty to transmit them
to Constantinople ; at the same time recommending
the Divan to accept them. But on the reception of
these despatches, the Grand Seiguor fill into a vio-
lent passion with him who had dared to treat with a
rebel. Churchid received official orders from Con-
stantinople, to resume hostilities, which bad been
suspended during the negociations. But while this
species of armistice existed, the cunning Ali lost no
time; he sent emissaries to procure provisions and
ammunition, and to obtain the suppott of several
Albanese chiefs. When the intelligence arrived in
Albania that the propositions of Ali were rejected,
the Turks encountered a greater number of enemies
there than previously. Ali bad even contrived to
conciliate the Souliotes, who attacked the Ottomans
at all points. Churchid found himself' in a most
embarrassed situation, and he could no longer bold

out unless he received reinforcements from the Porte.
,These reinfbreements lie received in time from Bosnia,
and the north of Macedonia, in consequence of the
rigid commands given to the Pachas of these pro-
vinces. The war is now carried An by Churchid,
Pacha Bey, snd Ismael Pacha on one side, and Ali
Paella, 'titled by the chiefs of the Souliotes and some
Alf Hellenians on the other.
I:ADRID, OCT. 25.—0 n the arrival of the Royal
Family at the Escurial, the suite of his Majesty
could not obtain lodgings; the municipality having
refused, conformably to the constitution, to giant
any lodging billets, the Political Chief was obliged -
to interfere to procure them accommodation.
Eight partisans of Zaldivar were shot ut Seville
on the 13th inst.
HERMONSTADT, OCT. 10 —News from Bucharest
of the 6th of this month announce that on the Sth
there arrived 8.000 Hetarists in that city ; and the
latest intelligence is, that the Porte is seriously
preparing itself on all points for war. 'f he .Turkish
troops increase in tiid•two principalities, and their
commanders speak openly of war against Russia.—
Twenty-two young nuns, of the Worosen nunnery,
have been taken' to. the Turkish commanders at
Jassy, and thence tarnsported to the other side of
the Danube: The daughter of a Boyard has been
sent back to her parents for 5,000 piasters. The
number of priests and monks massacred within a
a month amounts to near 400. Nut one of them
had taken the least part in the insurrection.
.PETEIISUUItOII, OCT. 6.—The privilege of the
Russian Company of America has been renewed fur
20 years. The company obtain by the new charter
more advantageous stipulations, and its stock is in
consequence on the rise.
liEttitSTADT. (Transylvania), OCT. 17.—We
kayo now the sad certainty that Capt. JorJaki pe-
rished at the taking of the Convent of' Secka. Fore-
seeing the cruel fate that awaited hint it' he fell alive
into the hands of the Turks, he caused a quantity
of powder, straw, and other combustibles, to be de-
posited in his cell; when further resistance was im-
possible, and on the approach of the Turks, he ap-
plied a torch, and blew himself' and all around him
to atoms. Such was the end of this heroic man,
who was worthy of a better fate. Issue of an an-
cient tinnily of Boyards, a husband and father of
4ix children, he is generally regretted.
Pirreassurtoti, OCT. 13.—Our Ga:clle contains
the following article:—" The Greeks are the first
carriers of the Mediterranean. In order to with-
draw a son from the capitation tax, the father choosea
to intrust him with the master of a vessel, in order
to learn the art of navigating the Mediterranean,
The Greeks know better titan any other nation
how to encounter the storms in the small gulfs of
that sea; and, whilst the Swedish and Danish
navigators become every day more rare, that of
the Greeks augment in proportion. It is the Greek
flag which is seen most at Marseilles, Barcelona,
and Ragusa. The Greeks make one and even two
voyages a year more than the shipping of other na-
tions, who sail film the ports of the Levant to those
of Christian countries. This depends not only upon
good seamanship, but also on account of ancient
usage, by which they are not obliged to so long a
quarantine. The Greeks fear the plague less than
others, because they in consequence remain a less
time in the infected parts. The pay of the Greek
matiner is small, mid his provisions costs still less;
the number of drunkards being very small, they
have no need of provisions of liquor for loug voyages;
awl building timber is as cheap tothem as provisions.
" In spite of all the restrictions established ut
Malta, and in the lonian isles, to the prejudice of
their flags, the Greeks are almost exclusively the
carriers to the ports of Turkey, Barbary, and the
Black Sea. It is by commerce and navigation that
the Greek nation has in 3d years made such a pro-
gress in ; and it is in the ports of the
Christian states that it has learner( to appreciate
liberty.

Porte, at least during this winter; and they have
