GREECE.

The Moniteur contains the followin.l letter from the
Count D'Harcourt to the Parisian Philhellenic' Cotn•
mittee. it is dated from the Lazaretto of Toulon, where
the Count was performing quarantine, and gives the fol-
lowing view of the general state of Greece on the 30th of
September, the period at which the writer embarked on
his return to his own country

The Greek Fleet, commanded by Miaoulis and
Slaehtury, had on the I 1 th and 12th of September off
Mytilene a more serious engagement than any s►nce the
beginning 'of the war. Adm►ral de Itigny and several
French vessels were witnesses to it. 'Both sideS had
nearly mustered their whole strength. The Greeks at-
tacked bravely : corvettes► with only a few guns, fought
within pistol-shot of two deckers, which covered them
with grape-shot. All, friends and foes, did justice to their
brilliant courage. Yet though time fight, lasted two days,
the results were comparatively unimportant. The Turks
took to flight, and the Greeks sent in several fire-ships
which were very near taking effect, for they set fire to the
bowsprit of the frigate mounted by the Turkish Admiral,
but the crew succeeding in putting it out. The loss in
me►► was not considerable. _

" The Egyptian fleet, coming from Alexandria, was at
Rhodes on the 25th of September, where it .expected
another division. It was:tben to join ibrahina, and to sail
against
The steam vessel commanded by Hastings, arrived at
Napoli on the, 15th of September. It carries eight 66-
vounders with hollow )aullets, which could not fail to pro-
duce much effect,

4 At my departure, preparations were making for a se.
cola expedition against Athens. Fahvier and Karaiskaki
wett to manatuvre in conceit; the one attacking through
the Pyrcus, and the other marching upon Thebes, Which
was the point of communication between the Pacha and
the remainder of his troops. A diversion was also to be
made towards. Larissa and the Gulf of Volo, in order to
alarm-the rear of the Turks, and compel them to evacuate
Attica. Much zeal was displayed towards this campaign,
and the Roumeliots had its success much at heart, because
their country being almost entirely occupied by the enemy,
they were very desirous of liberating at least a part of it,
in order to be entitled to send Representatives to the Ge-
neral AsSembly.

" This Asse-mbly, which is to renew the Members of
the Government, and perhaps to change its form, \S ill
take place immediately at Porro.
" I bring back with me a nephew of Canaris, who has
been three months on board Admiral de Rigny's frigate.
He is about twelve years of age, very amiable and very
witty." _ _

Count d'llarcourt then enters into the details of the
manner in which the stores and money „furnished by the
Committee were.apPlied under his direction, and termi-
nates by the following important statement. "It appears
certain thatnegociauons have been, opened at Constanti-
nople. Austria alone rtfase.c to . enter into stipulations
with respect .to the Greeks; but on what basis will they
treat P Of this lam ignorant."
PARIS, Nov. 6.—A letter from Constantinople, containi
the following particulars of Canaris:—
" This Canaris is truly a hero, and what is not com-
mon, he does not suspect it.
" A great person has offered him nn asylum in Vrance,
in case the cause he defends should be unsuceessful.- ' I
accept it,' he replied, for my family. As for myself, the
sacrifice of my life is made. I shall die here victorious or
vanquished !"lhe war between the Turks and the Greeks
is ad internecionem. But in. the towns, for instance at
Smyrnu they liVe together as- scenes Of carnage did not
every dayi take place between the two nations in other
places ; and its if Itrara and Frei°, which age at, their gates,
were nut still heaps,.of smoking ruins."

CoRFLT, Ou'r. 7.—(Extract of a private letter.)—Ac-
cording to the most recent letters from Nauplia, the Greeks
are preparing a force of about .5,000 men, to drive Red-
scbid Pacha from before the city of Athens. P. Mavro-
micludis is to have the chielcommand. It was the Gene-
refs themselves destined for the expedition that demanded
it from Government. Mavromichalis is not an expe-
rienced soldier, but his devotedness to his country since
the Greek revolution commenced has procured him great
influence over the hearts of all his countrymen. These
auxiliaries were to leave the plains of Argos on the 27th
of September, and we expect that they are now in Attica.
The army has for its Commanders the bravest Generals—
Nicetas, Londos, C. Mavromichalis, Ike., and it is com-
posed of the most experienced soldiers in all the Pe
lo-
ponnesus. The expedition, however, would not, for
want of provisions, have taken place, notwithstand-
ing the enthusiasm of all the men composing it,
had not a happy event supplied it with what was
necessary in time. Six vessels, which a great wind had
separated from the Greek squadron, anti dispersed in the
waters of Candies, were, on the ISth of last month, near
Suds, and were preparing to return to join the Greek
fleet, when they suddenly perceived four vessels in the
?pen sea. They immediately set sail, and overtook them
in the'waters between Candia and Cerigo. One of the
latter, which was a brig of war, opposed the Greeks, in
order that the other three, which were only transports,
laden with provisions, might have time to escape. The
Greeks fell upon it impetuously, chased it, and took two
of the transports. They afterwards returned to the island
of Hydra, where they diseharged one ; the other was sent
to Nauplia. •
The Greek camp in Attica, too, bad been in want of
provisiOns, but Colonel Palmier, who fortified the peninsula
of Methana, and provisioned it well by means of the libe-
rality of the Philhelleitists of Europe, being reconciled to
General •Karaiskaki, caused a great quantity of provisions
to be transported into Attica.

PonTsmotiTir, Nov. 6.—A Court-Martial as-
sembled this morning on board his Majesty ship Vic-
tory, for the purpose of trying Mr. Robert Marshall,
Aestatant-Surgeon of his Majesty's bri Plumper, ou
charges exhibited against him by Mr. Barnard, master
of the said brig, viz. ae For frequent inebriety, midi-
cer,like conduct, and associating with the tbremast-
Mtn ill Ow galley.). After the most contradictory
testimonies were given, the Court came to the follow-
ing time charges were not proved against
the said Mr. Robert Marshall, and therefore acquitted
him. Captain Collier, who commanded the Liverpool
when Mr. MarAltall was Assistant-Surgeon with him,
came forward, and gave hiin a most flattering charac-
ter, and stated to the Court, that he did not know a
man in his situation he would ao 500 hihite'VeCre atly rto
