THE GREEK INSURRECTION.

A telegraphic despatch, dated Vienna, yesterday
evening, says :

"Despatches brought by Turkish and English
messengers, who arrived here to-day from Constan-
tinople, are said to contain the notification of an
insurrection in Western Turkey, with the cause of
the same, and the draught of a convention for
securing the future position of the Christians in
Turkey.
" The Oest. Correspondenz states that fortifica-
tions are to be formed at Gallipoli, under the super-
intendence of English engineers.

" The citadel of Arta has a garrison of 2,000
Albanians, with provisions and ammunition in
plenty.
" Strong reinforcements are arriving in Epirus.
" 5,000 men under Zimel Pasha will enter Al-
bania.

" Seven steamers have gone to Egypt to fetch
10,000 fresh troops for Albania.
" An English steamer has gone to Prevesa, and
a French one to Volo. •

" A French and an English schooner were in the

Piraeus.

" The 'Wasp has followed the other two steamers
from Corfu, and the frigate has gone to Prevesa."
A letter from Vienna, of the 3d, says • "It Is
now beyond all doubt that the most perfect accord
exists between the Four Great Powers as far as re-
gards the insurrectional movement of the Greeks,
and it may be announced as positive that they have
resolved to put down this movement by force of
arms. A copy of all the papers seized in the pos-
session of the conspirators arrested at Constan-
tinople has been sent to our Government, and it
appears that a conviction is felt that the insurrec-
tion would not confine itself to the Epirus, but that
it would extend to Servia, B ilgaria, and even
Montenegro, whbre a favourable moment has only
been waited for to unfurl the standard of re-
voit. Omer Pacha has also in his hands written
proofs that ramifications of this conspiracy extended
to all the Sclavonian provinces of Turkey. It is
more particularly the mortal enemy of Turkey, the
ex-Prince Milosch, who is said to have expended
enormous sums to bring about a movement in
Servia favourable to Russia, as well as to his own
designs. His efforts, however, have been useless ;
they have only produced some insignificant demon-
strations on the part of some young men at Bel-
grade, who had been deceived by foreign agents,
and who were immediately arrested by the Servian
Government. In Servia the Government and the
majority of the people are opposed to Russia. They
cannot bear the name of Prince Milosch, whose
rule has inflicted too much misery on the country.
Austria has, besides, pledged herself towards the
other powers to destroy in the bud any attempt
that may be made to extend the Greek insurrec-
tional movement into Servia, Bulgaria, or Monte-
negro by immediately occupying the points threat-
ened. On the other hand, it is said that a corps of
20,000 French and English troops will take up a
position on the Turco-Grecian frontier. We learn
from a source on which we can rely that a decla-
ration will shortly appear, drawn up by the two
great German Powers, which will make known the
perfect intelligence which exists between them at
this critical moment. Every sincere patriot will
welcome this declaration with pleasure."
The Independance of Brussels says—The insur-
rection in Epirus appears to be decidedly arrested
by the energetic measures taken not only by the
Turkish Government but by the representatives of
the Western Powers in the East. A letter from
Malta of the 3d inst. announces that several of the
chiefs of the revolt, in consequence of the measures
adopted by these Powers, have begged to make
their submission.
