The Allgen:eine Zitting of the '2sth ult. give
the following account of the latest military. ope,
rations in Grece:—

Odysseus has been confirmed in the superior command of
of Negropont, where he has superior forces, and keeps the
Turks shut up in their strong holds. The Greeks limit them-
selves to observing the fortresses, as they have no means to
blockade them.

The Turkish fhtrrisons aro very much reduced by infectious
diseases ; and from one day to another the surrender is ex-
pected. Niketas commands on the frontiers arrhessaly, Gut
has only a few troops; howevtl, the inhabitants of those coun-
tries ham a military organization, and he can get considerable
reinforcements front them. Ile keeps at present the passes of
Thermopylae, and has pushed his advanced guard as far as
Zeituni.

The Turkish Commander in Thessaly, Dervish Paella, is
wholly occupied with the reorganization of his troops. Hellas
not received any reinforcements from Romelia, though the day
of their arrival had been fixed From Constantinople. On the
side of Albania the Greeks otteupied the Emit shore of the (hilph
of Arta, but nothing was further done there. The Turks still
keep the Citadel of Arta with a small garrison. l'revesa is not
blockaded, and the corps commanded there by Constantin
Bozzaris is looked upon as merely an observation against Al.
bani.t. The re-establishment of good order in the Mom is
confirmed ; several corps have been organized there, which can
match to any part in danger. It seems that for the present the
Peloponnesiuns mean to act on the defensive until the plan of
the Turks shall have been more disclosed, and it shall he seen
whether the Paella of Egypt will take any part in the war or
not. Colocotroni has not yet any Command.
Adviees, in the same Paper, from the frontiers of Moldavia
to the Ist of June state that no troops have AN yet left the Prin-
cipalities ; but report still says, that after the Feast of 13airatn
a part of the occupation trosops will be withdrawn. However,
it is still expected that the llospodars, as was the case two years
ago, will petition the Porte to leave a sufficient garrison for
the keeping of order, which may he calculated at about 1,000
men for each residence. On the 7th of June several Turks
arrived at Belgrade from the Camp at Larissa. A report was
subsequently spread that .the new Sertiakier, Dervish Fuchs,
had commenceithis operations by land, huV had encountered
so serious an opposition near- Zemin', that he had been forced
to retreat.. This nLwa, however, respecting. wi);

GRAND REVIEW ON HOUNSLOW-HEATH.

In pursuance of a general order issued by his
Royal Highness the CO 3151AWDELAW-CiirEF on the 3d lust.,
a grand review of cavalry took place yesterday on Hounslow-
heath. For some days previously, most of the regiments in-
tended to be reviewed were quartered in the various towns and
villages in the neighbourhood of the heath ; and other necessary
arrangements were also made. The Bth Hussars, under the
command of' Lieutenant-Colonel Westenra, (a regiment bet
very recently returned from India), were ordered to keep the
ground, assisted by one squadron of the 2d Dragoon Guards,
and the detachments at the riding establishments. Accordingly,
so early as six o'clock in the morning, one troop of the Oth as-
sembled on the ground, and the remainder of the troops to keep
the ground assembled atnine. A bout this time an immense num-
ber of spectators began to arrive, and the road leading from town
was lined as far as the eye could see with equestrians and equi-
pages of all kinds, but principally oldie most dashing description.
By 10 o'clock there was not Mom for a single carriage to squeeze
into the front along the lines, in either direction ; and by eleven,
there were ten or twelve deep nearly all the way. Amongst
them were to be seen the equipages of all the nobility and per-
sons of rank at present in the metropolis or its vicinity, exhibit-
ing, as may be imagined, a bright display of beauty and fashion.
—ln the rear of the. carriages a number of tents; were pitched,
which, coupled with the view of the troops, gave to the heath
at a little distance the appearance of a military encampment—
an illusion, however, which was dissipated upon a nearer ap.
proach, by discerning the unmartial exhibition-booths with
which they were associated. The troops reviewed were divided
into a cuirassier, and a light brigade, and a brigade of artil-
lery. The cuirassier brigade was commanded by Col. Lygon,
and consisted or the Ist and 2d regiments of Life Guards, and
the Royal Regiment of horse Guards. The light brigade, un.
der the command of Col. Lord Chas. Manners, was composed
of the 3d (King's own) Light Dragoons, the 7th (Queen's own)
Hussars, and the Lath (King's) Hussars. The brigade of ar-
tillery consisted of three troops, under the command of Lieut.-
Col. Sir Augustus Fraser. The whole of the division was under
the command of Major... General Lord Edward Somerset.
Shortly after eleven o'clock, a royal salute from the artillery
announced the arrival of the Commander-in-Chief. His Royal
Highness was dressed in the full uniform of a Field-Marshall,
and was surrounded by a brilliant staff, and several other of&
'Cell of rank, amongst whom were the Duke of Wellington,
Earl Cathcart, the Earl of Harrington, Sir Harry Calvert, the
Marquis of Conyngliam, Sir Ifilgrove Turner, Sir J. Macleod,
Sir H. Taylor, Sir H. Torrens, Sir J. W. Gordon, &c. It was
stated that the Duke of (Boaster, Prince Leopold, and the
Marquis of Anglesea, were also present, but we did not observe
them. Upon coming on the ground, the Duke of Wellington,
who was in blue uniform, rode forward at full gallop, to place
himself at the head of his regiment (die Royal Horse
Guards). At this time the division was drawn up in line,
and the Commander-in-Chief rode down the front, fol-
lowed by a grand military cortege, and returned by the
rear to his station Opposite the centre of the line. The brigades
then passed in parade by half squadrons, filed past, cantered
past, and subsequently formed in contiguous columns of march.
It was impossible to conceive a finer appearance than they pre.
suited, although the pleasure of beholding so interesting a scene
was materially diminished by the heavy rain which had cond.
nued to fall (its was the case upon a similar occasion last year)
during, the whole time from the period when the Commander-
in-Chief came upon the ground. His Royal If ighness, how-
ever, remained uncloaked, and although the rain drifted un-
mercifully in his face, he continued to bide the pelting of the
pitiless storm" until It was all over. As soon as the brigades
had performed these evolutions, they then went through the
following
