BLOCKADE OF THE PIRIEUS BY ADMIRAL

PARKER.
A letter from Athens, of the 19th (sent by our Malta
correspondent), states that, '•lmmediately Vice-Admiral
Parker received pratique he demanded from the Greek
Gov ermmetst the payment, within 24 hours, of all moneys
due to British, or protected British subjects, from Greece;
also that the Islands of Saf ends and Cabrera,off the south-
west side of the Mores, and which form a part of the
lonian Isles, should be immediately given up to him,
threatening, in the event of refuse.', to blockade the
Pirmis and make reprisals. The sensation this message
occasioned cannot be described. Otho, however, refused
it in tote, and Admiral Parker has consequently
taken possession of the men-a--mar in the Piraeus,
and blockaded the coast. It was reported
that the Admiral had declared war against Greece,
but I should think the reprisals are so consi-
dered. Also that a mob at the Piraeus had burnt down
the English consul's house. Here in Athena, we
English are not a little alarmed. There is a council
of Ministers now sitting. Those of Russia and Austria
are also closet •'. The English fleet consists of the
Queen, 110 guns ; Caledonia, 120 ; Howe, 120 ;
Ganges, 84 ; Powerful, 84 ; Vengeance, 84 ; Bellero-
phon, 78. Steam-frigates—Dragon, Odin, Firebrand,
Rosamond, Bulldog, and Spiteful. Some of these are
et Salamis, some in the Pincus, and some cruising. I
will write to you again to-morrow, via Patras, by this
Corfu steamer, and give further particulars."
