FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

AUGSBURG, AUG. 9.—The last letters which
'have been received from Constantinople are of a
nature which presages some serious catastrophe.
Ttie Aga, and the other Chiefs of the Janis-
saries, are at open war with Haleb Effendi.
This favourite of the Sultan has drawn down upon
him a terrible responsibility. Will the protection
under which he acts be sufficient to carry into
execution his design, of suppressing a militia
whose insolence is equal to its ferocity ? Those
best acquainted, with the affairs of the Porte
do not believe' t possible. Those who under-
take. the perilous duty of disarming the Janis-'
saries will require the aid of a considerable'
military force. It is perhaps possible that
events of the most grave and serious nature
will occur at Constantinople before the Congress
of the Holy Alliance takes place.> At all events,
Fhould the Janissaries be successful, a war with
Russia is inevitable.

The Greeks are daily strengthening their affairs.
The last successes which they have obtained over
the Mussulmans have decided the insurrection in
every point in favour of the Christians of Mace-
donia. The Chiefs of that Province have as-
synbled a great number of men under the inde-
pendent standard.'
The corps of Hellenians, who have lately -sig-
nalised themselves at Cassandra, have been rein-
forced.

On the other side, a movement, the results
of which will he most decisive, is about to he
made upon Salonica, where there is at preserit a
body of Turks, amounting to 10,000 men, com-
manded by the Paella of that town. This move-
ment will be powerfully seconded by the army
of Demetrius Ypsilanti, who has put himself in
march in order to cross mount Olympus, and
thus to take Salonica in the rear.

. It is believed that a part of the wreck of the
Ottoman fleet has taken refuge in the Isle of
Cyprus, where they .are closely blockaded .by
a Greek squadron.
The visit which the Emperor Alexander is
about to pay the Pope, gives serious occupation
to our news hunters. It is worthy of remark on
this occasion, that in a short time after the dread-
ful massacre, of which Scio has been the theatre,
the Austrian Cabinet, not thinking it proper to
'deviate from the politics which it had hitherto
adopted, caused it to be signified to the families
from that island who had taken refuge at Trieste,
that they must quit that town ; the greater part
of these unfortunates having reached Ancona,
have been cordially received by the Autho-
rities of the Papal Government, who bestowed
:upon them every consolation which their situa-
tion required. This circumstance cannot fail to
render most interesting the approaching inter-
view between the Sovereign of Russia and the
frfoly Father.

Commercial letters have been received from
Austrian Bankers in Servia and Bosnia, which
entirely confirm every thing which has been hi-
therto published relative to the signal advantages
which the Greeks have gained. The Turks are
in great consternation, and the Pelopotmesus is
,considered to be delivered for a long time from
their domination.

The successes of the Hellenians will have great
weight in Congress in insuring their political ex-
,istence as an independent nation.
NAPLES, JULY 31.—The King, on the 29th of
this month, put forth a decree which contains
numerous dispositions for regulating the military
..and naval force. It is the Prince de la Scaletta
is appointed Lieutenant-General of the new
army, as far as regards its organization.
The publication of this decree has given reason
to believes that the evacuation of our territory by
the Austrian troops is likely to take place sooner
than has been supposed.
The affairs of Spain cause a certain sensation
here.—(,l.ozfrnal de Paris.)
Le Pilate of this evening announces the death
of Lord Londonderry as a battle gained in favour
of liberalism. "He was," says that Paper 46 the
most declared enemy of liberalism, and the ads-
tocracy of all States have sustained in him a most
irreparable loss." We know what the Pilot&
understands by liberalism, and we request it not
to rejoice too suddenly ; the country which haS
:produced a Pitt, a Burke, and a Castlereagh, is '
fertile in men who understand the interests of
ancient Europe2—interests which cannot be mis-
.understood or infringed upon, without threaten.:
ing approaching destruction to the interests of
modern Europe. Primo avulso nun deficit alter.

.ZANTE,.Juey 16.—The fortress of Zeitouni
in .Thessaly, the citadel of Athens and Napoli di
.lornania, have all recently fallen into the power
o.t. the Greeks. The first was taken by assault
on the 30th of May; Athens surrendered on the
19th of June, and Napoli di Romania capitulated
•on the Ist of the same month, on the following
conditions
:
"1.. Tlie Turks of Napoli di Romania surrender themselves
prisoners of war, evacuate with their families the Peloponnesus,
. sad retiro into Asia.
" 2, They shall be transported there on board neutral vessels.
" 3. Every thing which belongs to die fortifications, the ar-
tillery, provisions, ammunition, &c. shall be delivered into the
Lands of the conquerors in the same state in which they are at
. the moment of the capitulation.
3.4. The Greeks grant to the Turks a fourth part of thei
personal property ; the inventory' shall.be prepared and certified
by the civil officers and agents of both parties."

A great quantity of arrns..of every kind,' of
ammunition and provisions, of silver and other
,effects, have been found in these three fortresses,
.which the Turks had .preserved there. •
A packet sent from the Island of Candia, by
:the
„Governor Commene Aphentule, arrived on
Atm 9th at Spezzia, and brought the news that
the Egyptian squadron which had reached Can-
-.dia had disembarked, on the Bth of June, from
:3 to 4,000 men. This squadron, which has been
magnified to 100 vessels, consisted of 16 vessels
of war only, and 36 transports; most of the
latter are English or Austrian merchant vessels,
which the Pacha of Egypt had 'freighted at Alex:
,andria for this purpose.
On the 20th of June, after the arrival of this
news, the inhabitants .of Spezzia heard of the
_disaster which bad befallen the Ottommt fleet' in
the Canal of Scio. They immediately' armed 26
~;vesse.ls, and dispatched them on the 25th of June

against the Egyptian squadron anchored at Can-
dia. The army of this island, after the reinforce..
ment which it had received, marched against the
Greeks, who defeated it on the 15th of June.

It is said that the Pacha of Egypt has declared
against the Porte; but this news appears pre-
mature.

In actual circumstances a declaration of this
kind is not at all prObable, neither on the pert
of the Porte, nor on the part of Alehemed A li-
Pacha. The termination of the contest with the
Greeks can alone bring on such an event. It is
certain, however, that the ambitious views of the
Pacha annoy most of his neighbours. Since he
made himself master of Cyprus, the Turks of
Rhodes have been in fear for this island. At the
approach of some Egyptian vessels, they rose
against the other inhabitants whOin they regarded
as partizans of Mehemed, hut the Pacha of Rhodes,
by his firmness, succeeded in putting a stop to
this appearance of civil war.
FRANKFORT, AUG. 10.—The latest news from
Greece' has increased the enthusiasm which ani-
mates nearly, the whole continent, which leads
people to anticipate a speedy change in the
measures of the different cabinets. The pacific
sentiments, it is true, of the Courts of Vienna
and Petersbnrgh appear unalterable, but this
does not prevent people from hoping that a
serious and powerful mediation will y.et be ob-
tained for the .G reeks,!--( Constitutionnel.)
