GERMAN AND BRUSSELS PAPERS.

COIISTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 23.—N0 recent au-
thentic accounts have been received from the Mores since
Ibrahim Pachals retreat to the coast ; at least none have been
made public. The Egyptians, however, still maintain them-
selves in Tripolizza, anti expect the reinforcements which were
embarked at Alexandria at the end of August. A few days

been spread that the Greeks had made proposals which Ibrahim
Pacha himself declared to be acceptable, and, in concert with
his father, advised the Sultan to accede to them, in order to
put an end to all the intrigues of the Christian Powers, and
not to expose the existence of the Ottoman empire to any far-
ther danger. It is, for many reasons, hardly credible that such
advice should have been given, and still less, that the Sultan
should adopt it, though the events in August might make him
- disposed to it. But it would at least show, that the Viceroy of
Egypt and Ibrahim Pacha had been gained over by certain
councillors, for what is called the Moldavian plan, which would
show the Porte and Christian Powers a way to extricate them-
selves from the labyrinth of the Greek insurrection, and which
some diplomatic characters have had in view from the very be-
ginning of the war. It is probable that Colocotroni's party is
no stranger to this plan, which is indicated by several facts that
have been long known.. But in our opinion, there would be
great difficulties, and we believe that without the energetic
and unanimous intervention of the Christian Powers, Greece
and the Ottoman empire are very far from a state of tran-
quillity.
According to accounts from Smyrna of the 20th of Septem-
ber. that great city was desolated by a conflagration, which
still continued at the time the couriers came away, and was
said to have already destroyed 3000 houses.
PazsnUßG, OCT. 17.—The palace inhabited by their Ma-
jesties and the Imperial Family, which was so lately the seat
.of satisfaction and joy, is now convened into an abode of grief
and. mourning. His Majesty received in the forenoon the me-
-lancholy news of the death of his august father-in-law. The
effect which this sad event made on his Majesty is not to be
described. He first communicated it to the Archduke Francis
Charles; subsequently her Majesty the Empress and the Arch-
. duChess Sophia were made acquainted with this blow, which
is so severe upon them in particular. Both Princesses have
since been plunged in boundless grief, which is shared by
their august consorts. It is said their Majesties will go to
Sclalosshof. The first news of this event was received by his
highness Prince hletternich, who immediately waited on the
Emperor to inform him of it. A few hours later, a courier
arrived from Vienna, sent by Prince Trautmannsdorf, with the
. same news.--( Algcmcine Zeitung. Oct. 23.)
FBANFORT, OCT. 22.—The Oriental Spectator of Sept. 14
contradicts all the statements that have hitherto been published
of a general insurrection of the Greeks in the Isle of Candia.
" By accounts from Candia of the 3d of September," says that
Journal, " all that has taken place is as follows :—A rabble of
5 or GOO men, formed at Napoli di Romania, landed at Cara-
boussa, an inlet three quarters of a league from the coast of
Candia, opposite Kissamo, which has been entirely laid waste
since the insurrection. After landing on the islet, it was easy
for them to take possession of a small fort garrisoned by a few
Turks; but they have hitherto done nothing to accomplish
their object. It was necessary to enter into a correspondence
--with the inhabitants of the island, and induce them to revolt,
bat all their endeavours have proved fruitless ; the Sphackiotes
• have been deaf to all the fine promises of their vagabond coun-
trymen—have resisted all their perfidious suggestions, and,
content with their present condition, have remained faithful to
their Sovereign, as well as all the other Greeks of the island ;
so that this band of adventurers have hitherto failed, and will
probably be obliged to try their fortunes elsewhere, as the
gyptian squadron may very likely return to the coast of Crete
after it has concluded its operations, and restore order, as it has
. done On other occasions."

VIETINA, OCT. ls.—(From a Letter.)—The successive ac-
. counts transmitted by the maritime authorities at Trieste, re-
lative to the excesses committed by the Greeks towards the Im.
perial flag, as well in the Archipelago as in the lonian seas, have
strongly excited the attention of our Cabinet. It is at this mu-
went engaged in discussing the measures to be adopted by way
of reprisal, and it is even believed that orders will be imme-
diately given to the Austrian ships of war to capture the Greek
vessels which they meet with. On the other hand, it is affirm-
ed, that several Members of the Ministry are of opinion that
negociations should be entered into upon this subject, under
the mediations of one of the maritime powers, before recourse
11 had to an extremity, the result of which would be to place us
in a state of war at Sea with the Greeks, whose marine is much
superior to the Imperial navy, for nothing could hinder them
from sending a squadron esituise off Trieste, which would do
incalculable injury to Shirtsommerce of that city. It is observed
that the Greeks have advocates among the most considerable
persons in this ulio.justly blame the Captains of our mer.
osmium violated their neutrality by taking cargoes
' es' board kb account. •
