BLOCKADE OF GREECE BY TURKEY.
The Tabor, which arrived at Marseilles on the
sth, brings news from the Levant to the effect that
Turkey is going to blockade Greece.
At Toulon, on the sth, detachments of marines
embarked. for Greece, to protect the French there.
SALONICA, April 21.—Yesterday a courier ar-
rived here, sent by the Bishop of Cassandra to the
governor of this place, announcing that 3000
Greek insurgents had disembared and landed at
Scika. The rebels were brought there by 13

Greek ships. As soon as the governor had received
this news, he immediately informed the French con-
sul of it, who communicated it to the captain of the
French steamer Heron,which leaves to-day for those
parts. This night two cannon and about 50 artillery-
men left, and to-day a 1000 irregular soldiers will be
sent there. Thus, now, the insurreotion is in the very
heart of Macedonia. This news has greatly affected
Mehemet Paella, and he seems to have very nearly
lost all his presence of mind. A panic has also
spread through the whole population.
Vow, April 20.—Everything here is quiet, and
it is believed that all is tranquil in consequence of
the presence of her Britannic Majesty's ship Le-
ander. The insurgents left this place soon after her
arrival, and joined the other party at Platona, but
they were surprised by the Turkish troops and
fled ; afterwards the whole village was seen to be
in flames. Papa Casta has gone to Vilestina. A
fight has taken place, but with little loss of life.
He now seems desirous of drawing in his horns.
Mr. Blunt arrived here this tnorning, and pro-
ceeded at once to Larissa. He brought a letter
from our ambassador with him, printed in Greek,
to distribute among the inhabitants. This will

have a good effect, and from the present appear-
ance of things, it is thought all will remain quiet.
Mr. Blunt is much respected, and his words have
great influence with the Greeks. Captain
of the Leander, has been very kind to us. He
presented me with an English flag, to hoist for
protection. The people immediately came round
me, and our little flag gave protection to all.—

THE ENGLISH CONSUL ORDERED TO
LEAVE ST. PETERSBURG.

Annexed is an extract from a letter received in
the city from St. Petersburg, dated April 21 :
This day her Majesty's consul here received notice
that the Russian Government will no longer recog-
nise him in his official capacity. Count Nesselrode
further informed him in the most polished terms
that his passports will forthwith be prepared, and
desired to know for what place they should be made,
out, and by what persons he intended to be accom-
panied. It is understood that he must not delay
his departure beyond a fortnight from this day.
There are so many people escaping from the clutches
of the despot, and selling off their property, that at
this time no buyers are to be found for anything
but the necessaries of life. There is an utter and
general dearth of money, and purchasers are not to
be found at any price for the goods and chattels of
those unfortunate persons who are obliged to leave,
and cannot, of course, convey their goods to Eng-
land.
