THE G REEKS.

( From the Conatitutionnel of Wednesday.)
ZANTE., APRIL 29.
Innattrit PACHA landed 5,000 men at Coron towards the
beginning of March. This corps was provided with every thing
necessary to reduce the fortresses in the Mores; but finding,
that his force was insucient; he sent to Crete for reinforce-
ments, and having assembled an army of 12,000 men, he
quitted the shores of Messina, and advanced to the walls of
Neocastron, continually harassed by the Greek corps, which
were then assembling to fight a decisive battle. On the 22d of the
same month he laid siege to Navarino, which had a very small
garrison ; but Col. Coliopoulos, making his way through the
Egyptian camp, entered the place, encouraged thegarrison, and
maintained himself till the arrival of two corps of Arcadians
and Maniottes, who drove the enemy back into his entrench-
ments, after killing 1500 of his men. Then Ibrahim Paella,
with a small number of his troops, threw himself into Coron,
where, without hope of succour, and surrounded by enemies,
he thought flt to revenge himself .by causini, the hands and
the ears of the. European officers to be cut off, as if thq had
betrayed the confidence which he had placed in them to de-
stroy the dominion of the Cross. ,It is affirmed that the num-
ber of French, Italian, Genoese, and German officers who
were in this expedition under the banners of the son of the
Satrap of Egypt, amounted to above 1000. •
The horrible mutilation which- these men have just Under,
gone, as the reward of the services which they had rendered to
the cause of despotism, makes it ourtluty to give publicity to
this shameful affair, in the hope of preventing further misfor-
tunes. .

• CORFU, MAY 2.
Letters from Missolonghi and Prevesa, which have arrived
here in a few days, announce, that all the Turkish corps which
had penetrated into Arcarnania have been completely destroyed
on several points. General Karaiscaki, in the district of Volos,
and Generals Nods Bozzaris, Zongos, and Stournaris in Pa-
laiocatouna, have displayed all the energy and courage that the
circumstances required. -The particulars of the combats, which
were fought almost at• the same time, are not yet known. It
is affirmed, however, that the losses of the enemy are incal-
culable.

Redschid Pacha, who Was encamped at Karvessara with
12,000 men, was attacked in a dark night by 800 I,:tolians.
The Greeks made dreadful carnage in the Turkish camp, which
'dispersed in all directions.
The British Consul at Prevesa positively announces the
a rival of Redschid Pacha in that city, and speaks of his defeat
as of a thing quite certain.
The affairs of the isle of Candia remain in the same condi-
tion. However, the advantages gained by the Greeks on the
Continent, and the desperate situation of Ibrahim Pacha, can-
not fail to ameliorate the condition of the Greeks in that island.

Admiral Miaulis, with forty vessels,, has succeeded in block-
ing Alp before-Suda a division of the Egyptian fleet. Acccri-
ing to the last reports from that brave Commander, it will be
difficult, perhaps impossible, for that part of the enemy's fleet
to escape total destruction.
Admiral Sacbtuny, with fifty vessels, is waiting off the Dar-
danelles for the Ottoman fleet, part of which has already sailed
for Constantinople.

FILOK THE SOUTH OF FRANTCE, MAY 19.

We have letters from Marseilles, which quote letters from
Europeans in the Levant, in which no mention -whwever is
made of the news circulated by Greek houses of a capitulation
of Ibrahim, stipulating .the evacuation of the Morea by his
troops ; they say, . nevertheless, " that 'negotiations had been
carried on for some days between Ibrahim and the Greek Pre-
skim Conduriotti, but. that the object of these negotiations was
not known, and they had not led to any result." Ibrahim
Pacha had in fact- at length been reinforced by the troops that
he left behind at Soda, and thus repaired his first losses. But
these European accounts, coming from persons who are extremely
indisposed towards the cause of the Greeks, clearly shew that I bra-
ham Pacha cannot obtain firm footing in the Peloperrn emus. All his
efforts were directed to the conquest of the ill fortified fort. or
Navarina, and were of no avail. The number ,of the Greek
troops posted at Calarnata continually increased, and the
Greeks had had the advantage in several actions with the Arabs
and Egyptians.—ln Patras every thing remains on the same
cooting/lshefore. Though the Governor had succeeded in pro-
curing some provisions by means of European ships, the
blockade of the place by sea had been suspended only a few
days, and is now stricter than ever. By . land it has
always been closely invested. The diversion in Ibra-
him's favour, contrived by Redschid Pacha, bad entire-
ly failed. It is affirmed in the Levant that Omer
Viene's intrigues had caused an insurrection among the
,Alba-
nians against Redrkellid Paella and his adherents. It is said that
Redschid narrowly escaped an ambush laid for him. The
Turks have not yet penetrated either Acarnania or Livedias; if
theyean be hindered till the termination of the-operations against
Ibrahim Pacha'for inundating the Greek territory, the Greeks
have nothing more to fear in this campaign. On the whole
the affairs of the Greeks have"takeif a Very favourable turn since
the latter end of March.--G4llgemeine Zeituv, May 28..)

We received Frankfort and Iramburgh Papers
last night to the '2Bth ult. The late winter had
been felt most severely in the southern parts of
the Russian Empire, and immense losses had
been suffered in sheep in the Steppes of the,
Crimea. The following is the only article of
interest:—

"Alexandria (in Egypt), lifarch 23.
" It is reported that an English Envoy is expected. in this
city, who, in ;the name of the British Government, is to pro-
pose a plan to-the Viceroy for forming a junction between the
Red Sea and the Mediterranean. The Viceroy has sold within
a short time, Mocha cotton to the amount of twelve millions
of talaris."

Music.—A Concert took place yesterday
noon, for the .benefit of MadeMoiselle Dus-
rouatuN, at Willis's Rooms, which was attended
by several of the Nobility, and a very respect-
able audience in general. This young •Lady is
highly admired as a performer on the harp. The
music was well selected. Miss CUBITT in La
accompanied herself on the
Dolce Speranza
pianoforte. She sang and performed with such
taste and skill, that we wonder she does not de-
vote more attention to Concerts. Miss Bucn-
wkr,n gave a Fantasia on the pianoforte, and
was deservedly applaudecL A Duett for the
harp and piano :was admirably supported by
Mademoiselle DESPOURUIN, and Signor p,O
ciANciiETTINT, with an
,accompaniment on the
French, horn by Mr. SCHUNK.E. Miss :PATON
and Miss MELVILLE were prevented from attend.
ing by indisposition,,but Miss VENES volunteered
her,services. Mis& CUBITT sung 131snoe's beauti-
ful air " Should he upbraid." She also joined with
Messrs. So ca and EscunEao in " La mia Dom-
belto,"' which was well supported. The whole
was highly'atifilanded, and Miss DESPOUtinfleS
merit on the harp cannot but ensure success to
her professional exertions.
