GREECE.

A letter has been received by a Member of the
Greek Committee, dated Corfu, N0v.17. It recapitulates
the losses inflicted on the Turkish and Egyptian fleets,
and then adds :—" The enemy's armies by land have
suffered equal losses, end, having been bea.en in several
rencontres, must ere this have, accord it.g to custom, dis-
persed themselves. The Greeks, mho no longer think
of being obliged to act on the defensive, prepare for the
conquest of several important points. Patras is now
completely invested on the land side by 6,000 men, and
ten ships of war prevent supplies from getting into that
place, as well as to Coron and Modon, which are also
besieged by land. A land and sea totce is to proceed
against &lima, and an attempt will be made to com-
plete the conquest of Arta and its dependencies, and to
get possession of some rallying points in Thessaly. 1
hope that these measutes will not be impeded by inter-
nal causes, seeing the solidity which the Government
daily acquires, and the excellent disposition of the na-
tion in general. The Representative Body, after a
meeting of several months, has terminated its Sittings
by peaceably electing new Functionaries. In the Exe-
cutive Body, consisting of five Members, four were re-
elected, with Condor iottis for President, and Mavrocor-
dote will be Secretary of State. The differences be-
tween the Greek and Anglo-lonian Governments have
been all settled, and the three Greeirbvessels taken by
the frigate Sybille, will be to-day liberated."

By the arrival of a Lisbon Mail, we have received
Gazettes 'of the 16th, 17th, and 18th instant. They
containlbng extracts from the Spanish papers, relative
to the trikls of the persons accused of having thrown

several Royalists into the sea near Corunna ; anJ also
extracts from the Madrid Gazette, of the 17th and 21st
September, (taken from the Correio Mercantil of Cadiz),
in reply to a Mexican publication called, V Crib de
Sombrerete cemtraos Hispanlioes, which supposes that
New Spain produced more in the time of Montezuma,
than it has since done. This article enumerates at
length the several branches of manufactures, agricul-
ture, and mining, and to prove the injury which the
country has sustained by its revolution, gives the fol-
lowing comparative table.

Regidor of Seville, uho stated that that once opulent 1
city was scarcely able to bear the expense of 80 to
100,000 francs per annum already imposed upon it for
the support of the Royalist Volunteers, consequently,
that the equipment of regular troops from the municipal
funds would be impossible.
It was reported that the KING, who cannot even
make a serious attempt to reduce his emancipated and
unassisted Colonies to subjection, had determined to
embroil himself in a quarrel with the United States, by
withdrawing his recognition of the cession of the Flo-
ridas to the American Union, as having been given un•
der the influence of the Cones 1 The idea cf Spain
going

to war with the United States is ridiculous.

If the opinion of well-in tormed residents in Buenos
Ayres can be relied on, that Republic has now all the
appearance of a firmly settled Government. The Con-
gress of the twelve United States was to- be assembled
before the middle of this month, to determine on the
constitution of the Government, whether it was to be a
Federative Union or a single State. The- great extent of
the country is likely to make the former plan be adopted.
Buenos Ayres is described to be the most agreeable re-
sidence in South America, and inhabited by the most
enlightened population. The Dictator of Paraguay is
complained of as .a friend to the non-intercourse system
with his neighbours; and, but for that evil, Buenos
Ayres, it is said, would be a market almost unlimited
for British manufactures—the probable consumption of
Paraguay being guessed at about a million sterling per
annum. The British trade to Buenos Ayres is now
estimated annually at one million and a half sterling :
15,000 pipes of wine and spirits are supplied from
France and Spain; and from the North American
United States are imported 80,000 barrels of flour :
sugaf, cocoa, coffee, &c. come from Brazil ; from
China, sundries. The general improvement of Buenos
lAyres within ten years is described to be.almost incre-
dible,—persons returning after that period do not know
the place again. FroM eighty to a hundred square-r igged
vessels, averaging two hundred tons burden, are usually
within the harbour of Buenos Ayres, thirty of which
are English. Expenses there are greater than in Lon-
don, and the allowance of ous Consul-General, 2,0001.
per annum, is not thought by any means an excessive
income—not more, than covers the natural expenditure
of the office. Nothing but an increase of people, it is
said, is wanted to render La Plata one of the most de-
lightful countries- on earth.

We have received —uu....—accounts from Canton to the Bth
of May. They inform us, that cotton was in good de-
mand there, at 13 to 14 tales, according to the quality.
Opium was quoted at 1080 to 1100 dollars per chest for
old Patna, and 1030 to 1050 for-new. Bombay Malina
was 800 to 820, and Bengal ditto 820 to 830. Old
Benares was good sale at 960 to 980, and Turkey was
1000 per picul. Pepper was exceedingly dull, and the
stock remains undiminished. The Company's Treasury
was open at 207 on Calcutta. We also have Papers
from Bombay to the 90th August, and from Madras to
the 15th. Lieutenant Favwscs, who was tried for the
murder ofa native on the Guinawar territory, had beeh
discharged from custody by order of the Supreme Court,
on the ground that the evidence did not bear out the
indictment in certain formal points. From Madras we
learn, that although thg distress of the native population
continued, yet that Government were giving employ-
ment to many in making a road between the Presidency
and Poonamalee. The weather had underpone a con-
siderable change for the better. There is no fresh intel-
ligence in these Papers from the seat of war.

Dispatches, dated the 90th of September, were received
this day, at the Colonial Office, Downing-street, from
Lieutenant• General the Honourable Sir G. L. COLE,
Governor of the Mauritius; but they' contain no intelli-
gence of importance.
