[MORNING PORT.]

4esennts of the sth inst., from Ancona, state,
that before retaking possession of the town and
PeeinstAa, of Cassandra, the Greeks landed by
night, to the number of 1500 picked men, and
surprises. two forts which the Turks llad con-
*structed: for the protection of the port of Salo-
nica. The troops by which the batteries were
guarded. were killed or dispersed, an& the
artillery embarked on board the Grecian vessels
,and conveyed to Cassandra, where, after the re-
capture of the place, it was moanted on a
line of fortifications extending across the isthmus
which divides that Peninsula from. the main
land. The brave warriors by whoa) these
enterprises were achieved, were the reaming of
the inhabitants of Cassandra, whom the Tarks
had driven from their hoaies a yea :'ago. They
had taken service at Mara, whenit was thought
that the Ottoman fleet would make an attempt
on that island, but the danger being considered
as over- sifice the destruction of the Capitan
.Dacha, and of a great portion of his fleet, the
Psarans lent ships to the Refugees, and thus
enab!ed them to reconquer their country, and to
.effect a powerful diversion in favour of the main
,cansf,. now daily gaining groand in Macedonia.

It will be recollected by our readers that soon
• after the. death of the late Marquis of London-
derry we hazarded a conjecture that the Foreign
Office would probably be confided to the Duke of
Wellington, and at the same time we assigned
such reasons as had occurred to us in support of
our supposition. We now. find this conjecture re-
turned upon us by some of our contemporaries in
the stripe of a positive sassertion that the office has
been actually offered to the Duke; and that the
'Ministers have further determined, that while
the Duke of Wellington presides over our fo-
reign relations, the management of the House of
Commons is to be intrusted in " divided em-
pire" to Mr. Peel and Mr. Huskisson. The pro•
bability of the appointment is no less strong
now than when we first stated the supposi.
tion, but our readers may be assured that
no absolute arrangement will be made upon
. the subject until his Majesty shall have met
his Cabinet Council in London. There can
be no doubt- that the present Ministers will
stick to place, notwithstanding the loss of
the !Lost efficient member of their party-
-the individual to whom they all looked for firm-
ness in. de.cision and promptitude in action. But
• if:Parliament had happened to be sitting at the
sad moment of Lord Londonderry's death, it is
probable that the difficulty. now experience(' of
finding a successor for the Noble MarquiS would
have had but a momentary existence. The ranks
of the Opposition are rich in talent for foreign di-
• plomacy, and in the hands of Lord Grey or Lord
• Grenville, or the Martinis of Laasdown, the po-
litical interests of Great Britain. would not be be-
trayed by personal vanity, or be sacrificed to the
• ambition of foreign despots.
