had per►etrated or► the 6th ult. as far as Nisi,
which is but a short distance inland, and were
preparing tb march through Leondari to Tripo-
lizza. These preparations might certainly be made,
but it remained to be seen whether they would
lead to a favourable result : for as the Greeks
occupied the passes which divide Leondari
from Tripolizza, jt was far from certain that the
Captai►► Paella's troops should he able to force
them. Rut supposing that they did so, even then
the cause of Greece would be far from desperate;
for the new reinforcements not being able to
carry More provisions along with them than what
were requisite for their own use, their numbers
would only serves when arrived at Tripolizza, to
increase the general distress till it swelled, to
positive famine, and the country being closed
bOind them as soon as they should have passed,
instead of being able to rescue Ibrahim, they

would find themselves involved in his diffi-
culties and his fate. That this fate will not

be quite as brilliant as the beg,inning of his
military career gave reason to anticipate, was be.
coming every day more probable. Let ters from
Venice announce- that General Gouras had gained
a complete victory over the Paella of Negropont,
who had been compelled to fly back to his island,
and to evacuate all the districts of Eastern Greece

which he had occupied. If this be the case, it will
be in Goura's power either to march upon Nlisso-
longhi, and to-force Redschid Pacha to raise the
siege of that place, if it be true that he resumed it af-
ter the arrival of the Turkish fleet : or, what would
be equally advantageous, he might enter the Nlorea
by the Isthmus of Corinth, and assist in over-
powering the Egyptians before he turned his arms

against the'Turks in Greece Proper. Some ac-
counts say that port of Ibrabbn's force had
burned Corinth, a_g.d that Colocotroni had en-
tereti into negociatious with bin], but this is not

likely. Had the Egyptians penetrated as far
as Corinth, they would have kept that key of
the Peaittsula iu their hands, and_ if they did
Pot profit by it at the time to evacuate the Pe-

loponnesus, and thus relieve themselves from the
dangerous position in which they were placed,
they would not have committed so gross a mili-
tary error as to have abandoned the place, as it
is said, to retire once more to Tripolizza and
suffer themselves to be hemmed in, within its
smoking ruins.

UTHE PUBLIC LEDGER.]
All the preparations for Lord Cochrane's de-
parture for Greece are nearly complete, and un-
less some unforeseen impediment intervene, the
whole of the arrangements will he finished by
the middle of next month. Such at least is the
opinion of persons, who have the credit of pos-
sessing the best information on the subject. The
exact number of steam vessels that are to be em-
ployed on the expedition, we have not been
able to ascertain ; but their number, it is
said, will be very considerable, on account
of the superior advantages they present in
the numerous shoals and narrow seas of Greece.
The purchase of several has been already
made good ;. and to complete the acquisition of
the requisite number, nothing is wanting, but to
come to an agreement about the price. Besides
their superior utility, it is expected that their
novelty will inspire the ignorant and superstitious
Turk with extreme terror. Lord Cochrane, ac-
cording to report, will precede the armament,
taking only one vessel with him at first, by
which arrangement, it is said, his Lordship hopes
to hold the necessary consultations with the
Greek Authorities without losing a moment for
action, as soon as the rest of his force shall have
joined him. How many other vessels, besides those
above-mentioned, will be placed at his disposal, has
not, we believe, transpired ;.only' that it may be
positively affirmed, if our information he correct,
that the ship in which his Lordship arrived in this
country, and which now lies at Spithead, will be
of the number. This vessel, if we are rightly in-
formed, is his own property, purchased with his
own money, and bought by him under the pre-
tence of enforcing the claims he has on the
Chinon Government. Whether this pretext
was a feint or not, we do not know ; whilst it
would be of little use to probe the matter to the
bottom. • It is further stated, that her crew is
composed wholly of. British seamen ; and, with
the exception of the flag, she has nothing, not
even a sp9r, to which his Brazilian Majesty could
lawfully set up a claim.
