FRIBURG, NOVEMBER U.

Our letters from Marseilles assure us, that the 15th
of this' month was fixed for the departure of the corps
of Philhellenes, under the command of Kephallos. It
consists of 180 to 200 men, Germans, Swiss, and
Greeks, who have almost all of them seen service,
well provided with clothing, arms, &c. and, by great
exertions, in good understanding with each other, and
animated with the most laudable spirit, though efforts
have not been wanting to disturb this harmony.—
German Officers, who returned from Greece in the
days of terror and distress, in particular, while per-
forming quarantine in Marseilles, have made the most
exaggerate., and distorted representations of the state
of Greece, in order to hinder the departure of the
armament. It has therefore given great satisfaction
and confidence to the Philhellene.; in Marseilles, that
Lieutenant Dujourdui, who was sent back to Mar-
seilles by the English Commander at Cerigo, and
who, as is well known, had done important services
to the Greeks, joined the PhilJaellEnes as soon as the
qtlarantine was expired, and will return with them
to Greece. This is a proof that the Greek cause is
not so desperate as some would represent, and that
Kephallos, the commander of the expedition, enjoys
and deserves confidence.
TRIESTE, NOVEMBER 14.

Letters worthy of credit from Corfu, of 25th Oc-
tober, and from Dragomestie of the end of the same
month, give the following accounts;—" After the
surrender of Suli, respecting which there are various
opinions, it was resolved to send Captains Warnakiotes
and Iskos to Mount Komboli, where Omer Brione
was, in order to hare a conference with him. This
circumstance gave rise to a report that Warnakiotes
had a desire to submit to the Tui ks, but the latest
accounts explain the matter very differently. Warna-
kiotes really went to Omer Brione under that pre-
text, and had a conference with him; but, in fact, he
had a secret commission from the Chiefs, to observe
the strength and situation of the enemy, and take
notice of the language that Omer Brione held.—
Having fulfilled the object of his mission he returned
to his brethren in arms. The strength of our corps
in Acarnania is 5,000 men, which, favoured by the
nature of the ground, is sufficient to hinder the ad-
aance_of the enemy. Omer had, indeed, 12,000 men
some time ago, but the disputes between the Alba-
nians in Epirus have induced many of them to leave
the Pacha and return home. The cause of these dis-
putes is, that some of the Albanians are disposed to
recognise Omer as Pacha of Joannina,while the others
would prefer the son of the Pacha of Berat, Ibrahim.
If the dispute is not soon settled, many advantages
may accrue from it to the Greeks. In the corps in
Acarnania are Maurocordato, Bozzaris, and General
Normann. The most favourable news still continue
to be received from the east of Greece, where of-
fensive operations are carried on against the barba-
rians in the neighbourhood of Zestuni. Napoli and
Corinth are still in the hands of the Turks, but close,
pressed, and in bad condition. At Corinth there are
5,000 Turks, the remains of 25,000 who entered the
Peloponnesus. The Greek flag flies over the lower
part of Napoli; and in the upper fortress (Palamidi)
about 5,000 Turks of both sexes are shut up, of
whom only 1,500 bear arms. The last attempt of
the great Turkish fleet, commanded by the Captain
Yalta, to relieve the fortress, having failed, it u,

0.

hoped that wog of provisions must soon force it to /
surrender; especially as.the Greeks proved, on that
occasion, that with their slight merchant vessels they.
are able, even in the open sea, to oppose a valiant
and successful resistance to the combined Turkish,
Egyptian, and African naval force.
" It is however with regret we learn that merchant-
men bearing the flag of one of the fitst Continental
Powers, have been freighted at Smyrna by the Turks,
and laden with provisions and ammunition to be con-
voyed by ships of war of the same Power into the
harbour of Napoli; but this last circumstance cannot
be positively affirmed. For some time kis observed
that the English Government has adopted a dif-
ferent system towards the Greeks, in some measure
opposed to that they before followed ; and it is even
affirmed that the Greeks have received, indirectly, sup-
port from that quarter. The Ministers of the Greek
Senate intended to fiz their residence for a time in Tri-
poliza, where several of them have already arrived."

By the fast-sailing ship Hudson, we have papers
and letters from several parts of America to the 17th
ult. A letter from Porto Rico, dated the 17th of
October, says—" Respecting the threatened attack
upon this island we have little to fear, as the princi-
pal ringleaders, who have had their commission from
the Government of St. Domingo, have been secured,
and some of them shot ; and several vessels, with
men and arms, have been detained at Curacoa."
Papers from Buenos Ayres to the 7th of Septem-
,

Aber, and from Rio Janeiro to the 26th, had been
received at Baltimore. They state that great prepa-
rations were making at Rio for crowning the Prince
Regent, as EMPEROR of the BRAZILS, on the 12th
of October ; and also for defending themselves against
any attack that might be made by the mother coun-
try: 40,000 milreas had been borrowed of the mer-
chants, for military services. Many of the Portu-
guese were preparing to quit the country. Eight
thousand men had already been raised in and about
Rio ; two vessels of war were fitting out, and all the
points on the coast were about being fortified. All
persons opposed to the Government were ordered to
quit the country.
FROM ST. SALVAT)OII.

We learn from St. Salvador, that the city was
closely besieged: a partial engagement took place,
and after some slight skirmishing the Brazilians re-
tired without the city.
