FOURTH CORPS.

Gerona, Afay 15.
Generals Donnadieu and Curial were, on the
15th, at Vich, with their division. On the same
day General Baron d'Eroles was at Ripoll, and
the Royalist Partizan Bozon at Berga.
General Curial has received orders to set out
with the troops which he commands, and repair
to Santa-Colona ; whence he will observe the
fortress of Ilostairich, and the corps of Milans,
which is behind that place, at Santa Seloni.

Baron d'Eroles proceeds by Parafita, upon
!Armies, so as to Connect his march on Manresa,
with that of General Donnadieu, who is pro-
ceeding towards the same point with all the
forces of his division. The Royalist Chief I3ozon
follows this movement, by advancing upon Car-
dona, Some chosen men, detached from the corps
'cif Baron d'Eroles are in pursuit of Mina, in
order to trace his march. According to the ac-
counts that have been received, it should seem
that lie is retiring upon Barcelona, by Montserrat.
The town of Olot remainsoccupied by a French
battalion. That of Vich and Ripon is guarded
by some Spanish companies.
We have occupied Palamos since th©l tth of
this month ; our troops are well received by the
in ha bi tants.—(llloliteur, Ala, Al, Official Part.)

last ttvo Years. ' A single arrangement will suffice to give an
idea of this superiority—Each Greek vessel forming part of the
fleet Is arranged in such a manner that it may be converted in
five minutes into a fire ship ; in an extreme case the captain
is to set fire to his ship rather than abandon her to the enemy
even though he should be blown up with her. It will be seen
how the Christians embarked on board the Turkish fleet will
respond to this resolution of the intrepid seamen of the Archi-
pelago. Almost all these Christians consist of people still very
ignorant; known by the name of Dalmatians, Sclavonians, ece.
who occupy the _Eastern coasts of the Adriatic belonging to
Austria. The Greeks will probably endeavour to blow some
of them into the air. in order to disgust the others with a con-
duct so little Christian.
In the island of Candia the Greeks have seized the fort of
Selina. The numerous Turks who occupied it, repulsed with
great loss towards the north of the island, have taken refuge in
the fortress of Candia, which is thus much encumbered by the
augmented numbers of Mussulmans inclosed in it, and who
furnish new aliment to the plague which is making its ravages,
This advantage is very important from the consequence re-
sulting from it. 'Already two districts between Selina and the
fortress of Candle, which from their situation remained inactive,
have taken up arms immediately after this event. On the
other hantli.the Greeks, who were hitherto compelled to divide
their forces between Selina, in the south of the island, and the
three fortresses in the north, have now concentrated all their
troops in the latter point, and blockaded the enemy more strictly
than ever. The Canee even has commenced parleys.,
For some time past the Greeks have paid particular atten-
tion to the island of Eubea or Negroponti which is in several
respects worthy of attention. The island is one of the seven'
largest in thiinediterranean, and by its position it commands
on one side time greater part of the Cyclades, and on the other
the whole coast of Greece from Cape Sunium in Attica, to the
southof Thessaly. By means of its possession, it would be
easy to make advantageous excursions on the whole of these
coasts, and thus disturb the flanks of the enemy who occupy
them.

The Greek Government has declared a separate province the
island of Eubea, which hitherto fumed an integral part of
Eastern Greece. A local junta has been in consequence in-
stalled to administer immediately to its particular wants.—
Theoclitus Phannacide, who has been placed at the head of
'die Junta, is an Ecclesiastic, distinguished by his intelligence
and his energy; he resided a long time at Vienna, as Archi-
mandrite of the Greek Church of that city, and managed the
Literary Journal, called the .Greek Ilfercary. Two of the
Most enterprising Chietii haVe also been sent to arrange the
!Military organization ,of the island. By their activity they
have • succeeded in drawing from inaction those of the
islanders, who residing ,in the environs' of the fortress of
Negropont, had not hitherto taken an active part. , This
fortress, which had not hitherto been seriously besieged, is
now strictly blockaded. As it is not well provisioned, 'and as
the numerous Turks who inhabit it consume much, it is hoped
'that its resistance will not be long.
Th !ESTE,' MAY 9:—We have accounts from the Morea to
the 20th April. They state that the functions of die Provisional
Government of Greece have ceased, and that a Congress has
assumed the reins of Government. After the installation of
it, which took place at Napoli di Romanis, Maurocordato was
elected President of the Congress, in the midst of the accla-
mations of the people. Colocotrone has been charged by the
;Congress with the defence of the Mores. Odysseus has been
appointed Commandant-General of 'rhessaly, Bozzaris, Epirus,
and Acarnania.
• •. ,
AcCounts froth Malta of the 29th April state that three .
'Greek vessels have had a combat with some Algerine corsairs in
the neighbourhood of their capital, that two of the latter were
ran aground, and a frigate quitting the port to come to their aid
was obliged to sheer off—r Augsburgh Gazette.)

At the revival of letters, such7—was the high
estimation in which the works of the ancients
were held, that a manuscript of the Ilistou of
Livy, sent to Cosmo de Medici to Alfonso King
of Naples, with whom he was at variance, con-
ciliated the breach between them; and although
the King's physicians insinuated that the book
was probably poisoned, Alfonso disregarded their
suspicions, and began with great avidity the pe-
fugal of the work.
