Bad news is received from Thessaly and Epirus. The Greeks
have everywhere had the advantage.
For bow days past there has been a report of disturbances at
Nissa ; but this wants confirmation.

BaussELS, OCT. letter from Candia, of the Ist Aug.
says—" Hassan Pacha, Lieutenant of Mehemet Ali Pacha of
Egypt, surnamed the terror of the Christians of Crete, has been
carried off by the plague in the fortress of Sudo. The Cretans
lose in him an atrocious enemy, whom none but the Journal of
Smyrna could praise ; for it is well known that he never took a
Creek prisoner, but to inflect the most cruel punishment on him.
The stake, the fire, boiling oil—such were the means of exter-
mination employed by him."
Besides the death of this .Chief, the Chrietia'is have to M 4.
grattdate themselves on that of Dernish Pacha, governor of
Candle, who has likewise been carried off by the plave ; we
also buried two other Paellas, victims to the plague, in the last
week of the month. This mortality is in proportion to the
strength of the garrisons. This scourge was never so destruc-
tive to the barbarians as this year, while the districts inhabit-
ed by the Christians are exempt from the contagion. There is
not a Turkish ship at sea. this year that is free from it. How-
ever certain. persons,may,praise the Turks and their-Govern-
ment, the plague, of which they preserve the nucleus,. would
be sufficient cause for all Europe to unite against them, and
drive them to the extrelnities4 the habitable world.
ODESSA, SEPT. 13.—1 t is certain that the Divan have at
last consented to appoint a commission-of two persons to dis-
cuss and arrange the differences with Russia.- M. .de Chabert,
the Russian Dragoman and Secretary of Legation, will be ad-
mitted to their proceedings. Lord Strangfurd has sent Couriers
to London with this intelligence.
STu TTGARI), SEPT. V.—France having refused admission
to the Greeks travelling through Germany, to embark for their
own country, the Government of Wirtetnberg has issued a
similar order. The Swiss Cantons had already taken the 'same
step. It is said that there arc 150 Greeks who will arrive in
Southern Germany this- autumn. •
