TIFF. GREEKS.

The Oriental Spectator, No. 204, contains an argumentative
article, highly extolling the conduct of the Powers of the Holy
Alliance, with respect to die affairs of Greece, and endeavouring
to prove the necessity of the neutrality of all the Western
Christians. There is now in circulation a Note, addressee by
the Divan to Mr: Turner, the British Charge d'Affaires, which
treats of the subsidies sent to the Greeks from England, and of
the conduct of the English Cabinet in general in this affair.—
This Note is represented as a master-piece, and it is not at all
probable that a Turk is the author of it. •
The Austrian Observer of 6th December has long details,
dated Constantinople, 10th and 18th November. Colocotroni
came to Napoli on the Btii Oct. to complain of the insufficiency
of the means of defence hitherto adopted, it being evident that
the Conscription could never succeed. It was resolved on the
10th to raise fifteen thousand men, by offering bounty, and
to place them under Colocotroni. This resolution was
severely blamed, because it was notorious that Colocotroni,
since he resumed the command of the army, has received
800,000 piastres on account, and yet not had above 2000 men
on foot.

Colonel Fabvier, who has been naturalized, and is wholly
in the service of the Government, is very active in organising
a regular corps under the protection of Mavrocordato. On the
Bth he had 1200 foot and 120 cavalry; on the 9th he set out
with 650 infantry aria the cavalry, for Athens, to continue, as
it was said, the organization of his corps, but probably to ob-
serve the opposite party in Western Greece. He has entirely
separated himself from General Roche, and the other French
Philhellenes, except those who have entered into his corps.—
The hope that England would accept the Protectorate of
Greece tlaily declined, but the Government still cherished in
the public the expectatation of powerful assistance from
Lord Cochrane, though well informed persona had already
learned from. London of the difficulties attending the ner.-ia.
Lions of the Committee with his Lordship. The news or the
mission of Mr. S. Canning had caused great consternation.—
Some measures were still adopted against those who opposed
the application to England.
The state of things in the Morea is represented as entirely fa-
vourable to Ibrahim, who no where finds any resistance; but
the obstinacy with which all his proposals for peace are rejec,ed,
has obliged him to abandon the system of mildness which he
at first adopted, and to have recourse to severe measures. It is
surprising how little his troops have suffered by this campaign,
in such a country,—his loss from the enemy is not worth men-
tioning; fur it is now publicly acknowledged, even at Napoli,
that all the bulletins 'published in the Journals for some
.months past, of pretended battles with the insurgents, are
absolutely fictitious.: He has suffered but little from sickness :
the plague never shtwed itself in the camp at blodon, but
about three hundred men died of a malignant distemper in
the camp at Nisi. At fhe beginning of October he had 9,800
Egyptian infantry, and in regiments 5,000 Albanians, and
1,400 cavalry. His troops are well clothed and fed, and his
magazines full of provisions of all kinds. _ _

The taking of Grabusa, in Crete, has not had any further re.
suit favourable to the insurgents. It is. robable that for the
present the Greek Government will content itself with
strengthening the garrison of Grabusa, which consists of 800
men, in order to have one fortified post in the island.
