GREECE AND TURKEY.

NuREMBURo, JAN. W.—From persons who
have just returned from Verona, We receive vat.i-
-! ous information respecting what passed at the
Congress. It was really proposed to obtain for
the Greeks-, if possible, in several parts of their
ancient country, namely, in the Morea and the
Islands, a kind of independence, • without, how-
ever, withdrawing their territory from the supre-
Macy of the Porte, or too much affecting the prin.
Oples laid down by the Congress of Vienna, re.
*peeling the integrity of the Turkish Empire.—
This seems, to many enlightened Nlinisters,asthe
best means to reconcile policy with humanity and
'civilization, and the Russian Cabinet could not
object to such a plan, the Emperor Alexander ffay.
ing repeatedly declared in the Official Notes de-
livered at Vienna by M. de Tattischeff, that in
the affairs of the Greeks he had no views of ag-
grandizement. 'The instructions of the Duke
Wellington were, in general, not to oppose
any plans that might be proposed for the
emancipation, of 'the Greeks, provided they
could be accomplished without increase of
foreign influence in European and Asiatic Turkey.
de Montmorency, it is said, was likewise in.
(laced by M. de Chateaubrand not to oppose in
general the delitierence of a part of Greece from
the immediate dOminion of the Turks; however„
the affairs of Greece and Turkey seemed to, be
considered by. the' French Plenipotentiary as
secondary to those of Spain. It was agreed at
Verona that fresh negotiations should be entered
Upon at Constantinople, by the Christian Powers
rn concert; but their result will chiefly depend on
the turn things take in Turkey. If, as may be
expected the critical situation 'of tho Turkio

-rnpire should he rendered , still more alarm,
illg, it may be hoped that the embarrassments
arising from the revolt of so many provinces
may induce the Porte to yield; and if the Greeks
hold out some time longer, which is like.
Wise probable, the Turkish Government may,
Perhaps, be disposed to accept the mediation of
the Christian Powers, ,both to settle ,its differences
with Russia, and for the final restoration of trap.

issued by the powers last year, it could not ap.
Pear advisable to admit the Greek Deputies at
Verona, and they were refused passports from
Ancona : a similar refusal was given to the re.
("nest of Prince Cantacuzeno, who was at Dresden,
and applied to the Russian Emperor for permis-
sion to go to Verona. On the 4th of December,
when the discussion of the affairs of Turkey had
been long terminated, and Lord Strangford had
already set out for Venice, an extraordinary
Courier from Baron Sturmer at Vienna brought
the change in the Government at Constan-
tinople. It was. to be feared that in such a state
of things the Turkish Government might not be
sufficiently stable for negociations to be carried
01) with it in a suitable manner. The Legitimacy
r){. the Turkish Emperor and his Government had
not for a moment been called in question at the
Congress, but assumed as the basis of the farther
negociations with the Porte. But if a party had
violently seized on the reins of Government, and
:he Sultan was become merely his tool,. the Go-
ternment of the Turks appeared in a different light.
:)rinceMetternich had a long conference with Count
N;esselrode on these dispatches; but as the Duke
)f Wellington and Viscount Montmorency had tlready left Verona, there remained only the Rus-
!"n) Austrian, and Prussian Ministers. After
liere e conferences the Russian and Austrian Offices
actively engaged, and expresses were dis-
.arched on the sth, in the evening, to St. Peters.
!tturgh and Paris. It was reported that the
e events might change the conduct of the
owers towards the Porte, since, under ex.
sting circumstances,. an active interference in
internal affairs of Turkey might be justi-
''l) without too nearly affecting the principle
~r the legitimacy of the Turkish Emperor.-
