We have received some very interesting intelligence
from Greece, which, though not of a very recent date,
relates to events which have hither to been very imper-
fectly understood in this country. It will be seen by the
following narrative, on the truth of which our Readers
may rely, that treachery has tainted the cause of Greece,
and that to this, more than to anything else, is the la-
mented death of Lord BYRON to be attributed.

Early in April a serious conspiracy was discovered
among the Souliots, and some other tribes of the insur-
gent Greeks, in Acarnania and Etolia. The discontented
party having been great sufferers dui ing the insurrection,
and being more nearly connected in their interests with
the Albanians, have long since evinced a total indiffer-
ence as to any patriotic object in the actual contest. The
thirst of plunder has been throughout their ruling pas-
sion ; and, in the pursuit of it, they have not suffered
themselves to be restrained by any considerations, how-
ever sacred. The object of their deep-laid plot was,
to deliver the two maritime towns of Missolonghi and
Anatolico into the hands of the Vizier Jussuf Pacha,
whose head-quarters are at the Morca Castle. Owing
to the conflicting interests and passions which agitate
all the contending parties, it is extremely difficult to
obtain any accurate information of the events which
occur, but the following statement of the occurrences
in question are supposed to be tolerably correct.
A variety of

had produced a bad
understanding between the people of Missolonghi and
the Souliots, who assembled there last summen A
few months before the greater part of the Soulioti had
been excluded from that place on account of the con-
tinual quarrels-which occurred, they found means of.
entering into correspondence with the neighbouring.
Turkish Authorities at Lepanto and Patras, to whom
they finally promised to give up the two aforesaid
towns; and with this design they appointed a day on
which the troops and the ships were to approach. Two'
days previous to the one appointed, two Souliots, inten-
tionally, picked a quarrel in Missolonghi, for the pur,
pose of affording a pretence for the remainder of the
Souliots to interfere, with the feigned object of punish-
ing their riotous companions. They were thus per-
mitted to occupy the small but commanding fort of
Vasiladi, situated at the mouth of the harbour of Mix•
solonghi, which it was their intention to keep possession
of until the Turkish ships from Patras should arrive to
receive it from them.

The malcontents did not, it appears, consider their
risk and interests sufficiently provided for by the terms
only of their agreement with Jussuf Pacha, they there-
fore engaged the further support of Omar Pacha. But
an inveterate animosity being known to subsist between
the Viziers Omar Pacha and Jussuf Pacha, it was ne-
cessary most carefully to conceal from each the secret
of their being engaged by a separate treaty with his
adversary. With this very delicate and difficult mission
to Omar Pacha, a certain Signor Costa Vulpiotti was
charged. Having succeeded in engaging the co-opera.
tion of Omar Pacha, Signor Vulpiotti returned from
Joannina and Arta to Missolonghi, at the very time when
his confederates had possessed themselves of the fort of
Vasiladi,:under the pretence agreed upon. The suspi-
cion of the police having been awakened, they imme-
diately took possession of his house and of his papers,
and there they found several letters of his correspond-
ence with the Turks, and also with the Souliots, which
left no further doubt of his secret understandirig with the
enemy. He was immediately put in irons. At the same
time, the presiding Government sent a strong detach-
ment to dislodge the Souliots from the fort of Vasiladi
who,'un perceiving a superior force, precipitately aban-
doned it, and then ran to seize the town and the Penin-
sula of Anatolico, where they fortified themselves in the
houses to defend themselves.

The Insurgent Government of Missolonghi, after
having expelled their families, sent boats mounted with
guns against these new domestic enemies at Anatolico.

Lord Byron, in these circumstances, alarmed at
such a most unexpected event (for it is understood that
most of these :editions Souliots were in his own pay),
fortified his residence with field-pieces, in order always

Missolanghi began to murmuf, ac
atefetly abetting the Turkish party, while omen ma
planted the guns of the rampart against the city to re-
duce it ; and everything was in the utmost confusion, as
the real traitors were not known. Prince Maurocordato
himself fell under suspicion, as being a friend of Costa
Vulpiotti, with whom he had secret intelligence. The
I,malcoatents, indeed, with a view to further their own
objects, had, for some time previously, caused several
tumours to be put into circulation, imputing to Lord
Syron and Prince Maurocordato a secret understanding

him of
. • .

In the meanwhile the Turkish ships appeared on
the appointed day in the roads of Missolonghi, but not
seeing the secret object of signal agreed on, they re-
turned to Patras. The troops which moved at the same
time on Missolonghi, were met by the band of Captain
Andrea Zangana, by whom they were beaten and forced
to retreat to Lepanto.

Had this plot succeeded, it is supposed it would
have gone a great way towards the total suppression of
the Greek Insurrection. Although the objects of Jussuf
Pacha on Missolonghi have in this instance been frus-
trated, still the violent discords and dissentions which
such seditious movements cannot fail to prance, will,
it is thought, prove highly detrimental to the general
affairs of the Insurgents ; nor is it at all unlikely, that.
this deep laid plot of the malcontents will plunge
the Greek Chiefs in Acarnania, Etolia, Epirus, and
other districts of Greece, into the same sanguinary ex-
cesses as now distract the contending factions in the
Mo►ea, where General Colocotroni is besieged by the
popular party in Tripolizza, while his son is shut up in
the fortress of Napoli di Romania, both by land and sea.
It is supposed that the policy of the Souliots will now
be to renew their ancient relations with the Albanians,
The Albanians, from motives of jealousy towards the
Greeks, would be extremely glad to see the Souliots
detached from lending an active support to them ; for
of all the different bands composing the forces of the
Insurgent Greeks, the Souliots alone are those who over-
awe the Albanians ; and it was chiefly owing to their
presence in Missolonghi, that the expeditions against
that place failed in the autumns of 1822 and 1823.
It is suspected that several of the Greek communi-
ties are endeavouring to secede from the contest, and
provide for their own separate interests; a line of policy
which would have been more generally pursued but for
the active assistance and encouragement of the Philbel-
lenists at Missolonghi, subsequent to Lord Byron's ap-
pearance on the scene.

Lord Byron's death has plunged the Greeks into the
deepest dispondency, while it has relieved the Turks
from a load of apprehension and alarm which of late
has gr ievously pressed on their minds, occasioned by the
late proceedings of his Lordship in support of the Greek
Insurrection. The great importance attached to Lord
Byron's late personal interference in this contest will be
best inferred from the extraordinary sensation which his
unexpected death has excited in both the contending
parties. It is supposed that the fever of which his Lord-
ship died, after twelve days illness, was brought on by
excessive harass of mind, and by the violent emotions
produced by the treacherous and cruel plots hatched
amongst the Greeks themselves. Since Lord Byron
embarked at Cephalonia, on his voyage to Missolonghi,
at the close of last year, he underwent the perils of
shipwreck, danger of capture by the Turks, and of infec-
tion by the plague ; but the severest of his mortifications
was, no doubt, the repeated acts of cruel treachery which
he was destined to experience at the hands of those In-
surgents' on whom he most confidently relied for his
personal safety, and for the success of his plans in their
behalf. Soon after he landed at Alissolonghi, some of
his own followers (who were Officers of sank) were mur-
dered in cold blood by the insurgents who were receiv-
ing his pay ; an instance of barbarous atrocity which
at once disgusted and terrified a company of English
arificers and gunners, indispensable to his operations,
and who immediately after left the service. In the last
treacherous attempt, by a party of the Greeks, he found
himself compelled to fortify his own residence with
field-pieces, to prevent his falling a victim to the insane
passions and seditions of the multitude. In the midst
of a chaos which he vainly attempted to vanquish,
he has sunk overpowered by his exertions, which have
mostly proved unavailing, from having been so perfi-
diously counteracted.

The recent interference of the Philhellenists has, k is
feared, tended to aggravate the situation of the Greek
Insurgents. The intelligence subsequently received, of
the private loan negotiated in London for the service of
the Greeks, seems to have diffused fresh vigour among
them ; and in consequence of the means thus placed
at their disposal, a general assembly of the Chiefs was
ordered to be convened at Salona, at the beginning of
April, for the object of making definitive arrangements
for the ensuing campaign ; but the foul conspiracy dis-
covered at Missolonghi at the same period, and the sub-
sequent death of Lord Byron there, will, it is supposed,
have frustrated those intentions

Affairs at Missolonghi continue in a very distracted
state. It is said, that Prince Maurocordato was in much
personal danger, from the vindictive feelings of several
Greek Captains, who were connected with the late
conspiracy.

On the 15th April, an English brig arrived at Zante,
from England, with specie to the value of 200,000 dol-
lars, for the service of the Greek Insurgents. Of this
sum, 30,000 dollars are said to have been struck with a
new national Greek die.

A division of the Ottoman fleet was expected shortly
to arrive off Patras, with a number of flat-bsottomed
boats, for the object of attacking Missolonghi.
