NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
MALTA, JAW. 23.—The French steamer, due yester-
day from the Levant, arrived to-day; she brings impor-
tant news from Athens, which she left on the 19th. The
fleet of Sir William Parker arrived on the 12th at Sa-
lomine, two steamers having gone to the Pisa. On
the 15th n
they received pratique. On the 17th the Ad-
miral, with a large staff, dined with his Majesty, and on
the following day our Ambassador, Mr. Wyse, most un-
expectedly sent in a demand that certain claims of Eng-
lish subjects, or protegis, on the Greek Government
should bo paid in 24 hours, or in the event of a refusal
we should proceed to hostilities. On the day following
(19th) no answer having been given, Mr. Wyse was
preparing to go on board • the flag-ship with all his
employ4e, leaving Mr. Green, the consul, to represent
the commercial interests on shore. The departure of
the steamer prevents more being known, but we have a
report, for which, however, I cannot give any positive
assurance, that a Greek steamer on leaving the Mums
was captured by the Odin (some fay the Bulldog) P1111:0-
frigate. The news is of the highest interest, and has
caused quite a sensation here. The Pincus is in a slate
of blocked:, by our ships.
The quarantine, which had been taken off from ar-
rivals from Malta and Sicily, has been again laid on. The
term is on all ships seven days, and for susceptible goods
14 days. The cause assigned is a pretended admission
to pratique here of arrival from Tunis, where the cholera
is said to exist,
