NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

MALTA, DEc. 14.—Information was received by
her Majesty's steamer Flamer last night of an insur-
rection which had broken out at Patras, and was
general throughout Greece.
The Governor of Patras had been made prisoner,
and the garrison, too weak to resist the numbers of
the people, had been obliged to seek shelter in the
fortresses, where supplies of food could scarcely
reach them.
In a skirmish with the insurrectionists and the mi-
litary, five of the latter lost their lives. No accounts
of the casualties among the former reached.
The Flamer, on reaching Zante, sent the Spitfire
steamer to Patras, to render all the assistance in har
power to the English resident there. The Locust
steamer has had her fires up to-day, and it is thought
will get under way immediately.

News from the -fleet has reached Malta. The Bull-
dog steamer, off Sardinia, has had a narrow escape
of coming into collision with the Rodney, 90. It
was blowing fresh, the night dark, and the Rodney,
bowling along with a spanking breeze, nearly ran
into the steamer lying to; indeed, the water from her
bows washed the steamer's deck. The lieutenant of
the Bulldog shouted to the Rodney to port her helm,
and the shout being heard and attended to the disaster
was avoided.

Reports of the Trafalgar being ashore supersede
those of her loss. 1 believe neither.

I have just received letters from Corfu, statlng that
the Antelope steamer left that place on the 9th inst.
for Trieste, where she is to be in readiness to receive
his Excellency Sir S. Canning, and convey him to
Constantinople. There she will receive Lord Cowley
on board and take him to Marseilles, touching at
Corfu. The Antelope was visited lay his Excellency
Lord Seaton, L.H.C., the day before she went to
sea, and his Lordship was much pleased with the ac-
commodations and cleanliness of the steamer.

The Fantome, from Smyrna, is the only ship now
at Corfu. The Spitfire steamer has gone on a cruise
round the southern islands.

MILITARY MOVEMENTS.

The reserve battalion of her Majesty's 76th Regi-
ment was to embark early in December to relieve the
34th Regiment in Corfu. The latter regiment will
relieve the 791 h at Gibraltar, and the 79th relieves a
regiment in Canada. As, however, the season is too
early for the 79th to get up the St. Lawrence, the
34th will not leave Corfu for Gibraltar till the early
part of March.

The 34th have ingratiated themselves into the
favourable opinion of a nu►nerous circle of the resi-
dents of Corfu, and their departure will be much re-
gretted.

They have been stationed about two years at Corfu,
and are generally much esteemed by all classes.
PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.—Rear-Admiral H. Pres-
cott, C. 8., the newly-appointed Rear-Admiral Super-
intendent of this Dockyard and Ordinary, hoisted his

Charles Ogie, Bart., the Comtnander-in Chief, with
17 guns, when the Victory returned the ceremony
by saluting the flag of the new Superintendent
with 13.

The Fairy Royal yacht, Captain Lord Adolphus
Fitzclarence, Commander Crispin, embarked the Court
at Trinity-wharf, East Cowes, this morning, at 10
o'clock, and disembarked them at 11 at the Royal
Clarence Victualling Establishment, Gosport. 'The
Victoria and Albert and the Fairy will be paid off on
the 31st, in accordance with the custom of the ser-
vice ; and immediately re-commissioned, with the
same commanding officers.
The Netley tender arrived this morning with men
from Plymouth, and left this afternoon with super-
numeraries.
The Penelope steam-frigate, Captain Giffard, bear-
ing the broad pendant of Commodore Sir Charles
Hotham, K.C.8., Commander-in-Chief, was at St.
Helena on the 29th of October, about to proceed to
Ascension.

SWISS DIPLOMACY AND THE
DE BATS,
The following letter has Leen addressed to the
Debats by M. Delley, the Charge d'Affaires ad interim
of the Swiss Confederation at Paris. It is dated
Paris, Dec. 18 :
"In reference to the events which took place in
Switzerland in the coarse of the past month, you
have published, in some of your numbers, and parti-
cularly that of Nov. 18, certain letters attributing to
the column of reserve, commanded by Colonel Och.
senbein, scenes of Vandalism and barbarous cruelty,
which, according to your correspondents, had take*
place in the canton of Lucerne, and which that
officer had not attempted to prevent. These calum-
nious allegations have no doubt had their source
in certain attempts at disorder and private ven-
geance directed against the village of Salters, by
soldiers of that body, and which the commanding officer,
far from encouraging, on the contrary, repressed
with vigour and severity. However that may be, it
is a matter of publil notoriety that the facts, such
us they were related by your journal, and without
doubt dictated by malevolence, have never existed;
and I have not the slightest doubt that your corres-
pondent was led into error by ill-intentioned persona,
who abused his good faith at the same time as yours.
In consequence I have called on you, according to
orders which I have just received on the subject from
the Federal Directory, to publicly contradict the
allegations in question, as being injurious to the
honour and consideration of an officer whose conduct
on the occasion alluded to merits the highest eulo-
giums from the General-in-chief, as is proved by the
authentic documents which I have the honour of en-
closing to you, and to which, I trust you will give
insertion in your columns. I expect, from your im-
partiality and justice, that you will not refuse to
attend to this representation of mine, and in that hope
" I have the honour to be, &c.,
" DELLEY,
" Chargé d'Affaires to the Swiss Legation
ad interim."
The above was accompanied by the following
letter :
" TO M. OCIISENBEIN, COMMANDING OFFICER OF TIM
BERNESE RESERVE.
" Lucerne, Nov. 26, 1847.
" Colonel,—lt is with the greatest pleasure that 1
have to express to you my entire satisfaction at the
manner in which you have conducted your division in
our two expeditions of Friburg and Lucerne. On
these occasions you displayed firmness, courage, and
a wise moderation, for which I feel deeply indebted
to you. I know in particular what you did at Hal-
ters to render ineffective the efforts of lamentable re•
sentments, and this service is in my eyes so great
that I consider that our country owes you a debt of
gratitude for it. The relations which you have had
with me as commander of division have always been
exceedingly agreeable. I have always been CE'
tremely sensible of this, and I trust that they Mei
have been the same to you with regard to me.
" Accept, Colonel, the assurance of my distill•
guished consideration.
" G. H. DUFOUR, ComMander-in-Chief."

CAPTURE OF A RUNAWAT WlFE.—About a month
ago a young and newly-married lady left her husband's
home in London, and succeeded in eluding all puren4'
Beginning, however, it may be supposed, to suffer Irons
the consequences of her indiscretion, she addressed
letter to her friends at the latter end of last week, pttk
a view to obtain her clothes, &c.; and informing the—
that they might communicate with her by addressing 6
letter to the Brighton Post-office. Upon this clue, the
Brighton, and having addressed a letter to the
lady's mother and husband immediately came dawn t°
f
Post-office,
impatiently awaited the appearance o the
runaway. Saturday and Sunday, however, passed 5"117;
and she did not come. The watch was then given "dile
despair; but instructions were given to the clerks at
Post-office how to act in case the expected party es:l3,-r
On the Monday she did come, and asked fora ,lt:
en
with such an address. The answer was, that it b6n,
sent out to a wrong address, but, if the lady weld" „,-5,01•
a moment, it should be procured for her. In them „.1 is
time, information was sent to her friends at an lwrind
Brighton
the town ; her mother arrived, a fly was obtained' thit
the wife taken back to her husband. The gest!: bus'
ensued was of the most distressing character, te" fits,
band (a very young man) being seized with strong with
' and evidently sufferint, the neatest agony. It wss ip;
some difficulty that the lady could be induced to role .10
but an arrangement was at ler.gth made, and on !ha
following day the party left for London. When ter
runaway first presented herself at the Post-otticet mho
appearance by no means denoted her station in life; 64
was dressed in the most common apparel, either for tll,
purpose of concealment or from the necessities in attic!
she had involved herself. Shortly after her arrival st
the hotel, however, she appeared in a very different cot'
tume ; and it is understood that she possesses consider'
able property in her own right. It is believed that she
had a partner in her flight.—Brighton Herald.
