FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

PARIS, APRIL 22.—1 t was reported last night
that a vessel had arrived on the 16th at Mar-
seilles from Malta, having on board a Messenger
with despatches to the English Ambassador at
Paris. The crew announce the general insur-
rection of the lonian Islands. We repeat the
report as we heard it, but cannot vouch for its
authentic y .—(Constitutionnel.)

The Count's de Woronzoff, father and son,
left Paris yesterday, the former for London, and
the latter for Petersburgh.
Letters from Lisbon, dated the beginning of
April, confirm the news of Brazil having de-
clared her independence, and state, that the
Prince Regent has been nominated Emperor.
The Courier Francais of to-day contains a
very long article on the affairs of Greece, ex-
tracted from numerous letters of various dates,
from the Peloponnesus, Thessaly, and Epirusi—
The - following are extracts from some of the
most recent :

" The details respecting the late victory gained
by the Greek fleet over the Turks are nearly the
same as those already published, both as regards
the number of Turkish vessels taken or sunk and
the scene of action, near the Gulf of Lepanto
only we !lave more accurate details on the direc-
tion which the fugitive Turkish vessels took to
escape certain destruction. The Greeks, accord-
ing to their usual tactics, attacked furiously the
centre of the Ottoman fleeti where the largest
vessels are usually stationed, and among them
the Admiral. The vessels forming th two
wings of the Turkish fleet, seeing the centre de-
stroyed, fled in different directions, some towards
Cephalonia, the others into the Gulf of Gaume-
nizzal ; the latter, being closely pursued, were
soon overtaken, beaten, captured, or destroyed.
4C The Government of Cephalonia signified to
the division which had fled to its coast, that it
could not remain there for fear of exciting an in-
surrection, as happened last year on a similar oc-
casion, when the English Governor of the Port of
Zante admitted the Turkish fleet to escape the
pursuit of the -Greeks. It is, therefore, not true
that the Turks took refuge in the Gulf of. Le-
panto, where they would have been safe. The
Greeks, sensible of this, manoeuvred so as to in-
tercept the retreat of the Turks into the Gulf of
Lepanto, and one of their divisions wtich followed
those that fled towards Cephalonia, soon pressed,
them closer when they quitted that coast.
" The accounts of Samos, sent by an eye-wit-
ness to Odessa, state that the Samians have a
considerable army ; that Lycurgus, their Chief,
has made many wise regulations ; that he under-
takes frequent excursions to the coast of Asia
Minor, where he has often defeated the Turks
and made great booty. Lycurgus recognises the
General Assembly of the. Peloponnesus, and is
in alliance with \the Cretans, to whom he has
lately sent a reinforcement of 2000 young men,
well armed. -

" Our correspondents promise us details re-
specting the Central Government of Greece, on
the laws that have been published, &c. The
duties on vessels and goods are levied in the
ports and islands in their power ; the public,
contributions are regularly paid, and the land and
sea forces paid by the State. To meet the ex-
pences of the corps lately sent to Epirus and
