Extracts from the Morning Papers, Dec. 9.Q.

[Tile PUBLIC LEDGI:II.I
We understand that an order arrived atWoolwich
on Saturday night, for a division of Artillery, and
part of the Rocket Brigade to prepare instantly
to march for Ireland. They are, in consequence,
to reach Highgate by nine o'clock this mornivg ;
to halt there four hours, then to proceed to St.
Alban's ; there to halt four hours also; and then
to proceed by forced marches to Liverpool. The
cause of this sudden and extraordinary order did
not transpire.

We hail supposed, we believe in common with
many others, that hostilities had ceased for this
year between the Greeks and the Turks on the
return of the Captain Pacha to the Dardanelles.
We now find that we are called upon to renounce
this opinion, notwithstanding its plausibility ;
and the demand comes on us too from a quarter,
which can claim the merit of uniform attachment
to the Greek cause, though its intelligence
an the subject is not proverbially accurate.
—ln the Allgenteine Zeitung, which reach-
ed us lust night to the 11th inst., letters
from Constantinople are cited, to skew that the
war was going to assume an activity and vigour,
which it had not displayed since the two fleets
had joined. To do away with the apparent in-
consistency of this account, it is said that Ibrahim
Pacha, who is represented to have been always at
variance with the Turkish Admiral, finding him-
self relieved from the interference of the latter,
was determined to act in such a manner, as would
justify the charge of incapacity, which he had
preferred against his late colleague in the com-
mand, and to which he ascribes all their reverses.
With this view, he has returned, it is said, to the
plan originally assigned to him, of invading the
Morea ; and, having united the remnant of the
Turkish squadron to his own, had sailed from
HoPdroun to carry it into execution. Though a si-
milar statement appears in the Paris Papers of Fri-
day, which arrived last night, and though both
are given on the authority of letters from Con-
stantinople of the 11th ult. yet it seems to us so
incongruous, that we cannot possibly give it
credit. Whatever may be the enterprising and
energetic turn of Ibrahim Paella's mind, whets
left to itself, or whatever may be his desire to
distinguish himself, now that he has the sole
command, still they would cool, we should
think, at the idea of the hazards and difficulties
of a winter campaign in the Morea. The cold
is sometimes intense at this season of the year,
in that province ; and the roads, which are in-
different even at the best time, are wholly he-
passable to an army with artillery at the pre-
sent season. Moreover, the rigour of the wea-
ther would in a few weeks destroy troops,
who like the Egyptians, know only frost and
snow by name. If they were to shut them-
selves up in the few fortresses that still remain in
the possession of the Turks, their numbers would
soon exhaust the scanty supplies which the. latter
still have, and thus accelerate the period of their
surrender. The account, with whatever confi-
dence it may be given, we have therefore no
hesitation in rejecting ; particularly as letters of
the same date, that have been received in this
country from Constantinople, are either wholly
silent on the subject, or treat it as a rurnoar
worthy of credit,—(Thid.)
