is morning ,we received Frankfort and other
German Papers to the 31st ult. They contain some
details of tho successes of the Greeks, and the pre-
parations making by the Turks to oppose them. The
following are extracts:
CONSTANTINOPLE, APRIL 26.
This capital continues to enjoy entire tranquillity,
which will be still farther confirmed by the sailing of
the greater part of the fleet, the crews-of which fre-

quently commit great excesses before their departure,
and are not easily kept in due subordination.
-The division of the fleet which has been long sta-
tioned in the Dardanelles, and consisted of 40 ships
of war of different sixes, has been reinforeed by 11 fri-
gates and corvettes, which have successively joined it,
At present there are again eight frigates, seven cor-

vettes, and several brigs and schooners in the roads
of Beschicktosch, ready to sail, the command of
which, it is said, the Iligh Admiral himself will take.
The ill success of the last campaign has, it is said,
induced the Porte to determine to let the fleet act
this time against the insurgents in several divisions,
and thus to lessen bath the confusion in the ma-

nceuvres and the danger arising from the numerous
Greek fire•ships. We learn that one of these divisions
is to take on board the troops assembled on the Asia•

tic coast, in order to effect a landing in the island of
S.trnos: a second squadron may probably attempt to
relieve the fortresses in the island of Candia, which
is in great distress, both from famine and the plague :

it may also be anticipated that the Government will
not lose sight of the fortresses in the Morea, which
are still in the hands of the Turks.

We have no certain information respecting the mo-
tions of the squadrons of the . insurgents ; it is said
that a division of 4.5 of their ships lately appeared
near 'Penedos ; but they seem disposed to rely chiefly
on their ships, to which they owe the advantages of
the last campaign ; for they have made great im-

provements in their construction, and considerably
increased the number of those vessels.
The fortresses of Para', Corinth, Lepanto, the
Castles of the Morea, Coron and Modun, as well as
Negroponte and Curisto, were, according to the latest
accounts, still in the possession of the Turkish troops.
All eyes are now turned on Mustapha Pacha of Scu-
tari, nephew of Mahmud Pacha, who was celebrated
in the last was with Austria—The Porte has lately
added to his extensive Viceroyalty-the Governments
of Ochri and Elbessan, to enable Not to .make the
great armaments required for the approaching cam-
paign. Larissa, in Thessaly, is appointed this year,
as it was last, for the rendezvous of the troops or
dered to act against the Greeks.
SERBS, APRIL to.

Since the 18th of this month Turkish troops have
been daily passing on their march against the Itiorea.
We have not heard anything new from the environs
of Larissa. The collecting of the taxes is carried into
effect with the greatest rigour.
SEMLIN, MAY 15. •
Letters from Seres of the Sd of this month have
been received at Belgrade, which state that the,
Greeks who are in the Island of Thaso have made an
expedition against a column of Turkish troops that
were marching along the coast towards Salonichi, and
have entirely defeated them. It is also reported that
the Castle of Larissa has surrendered to the Greeks.

TAIF,.STE, MAY la.
On the 6th of this month Patras was still in the
hands of the Turks, as well as Coron and Modon.

Bahia Papers to the 12th of April reached us this
forenoon. They ahnounce the arrival of the expe-
dition
_from Lisbon, and we may consequently soon
expect to bear of active operations in the Brazils.
The following are extracts :
BAHIA, APRIL 4.

Monday, at sunset, the expedition from Lisbon
entered our port, after a voyage of 44 days. Our
squadron covered the rear of the expedition, with
which it effected its junction at the place appointed.
The expedition consists of twelve vessels, under
convoy of the Perola frigate c it had on board five
battalions of Chasseurs, and infantry and corps of
artillery, with fourteen new brass cannon. We
have more than sufficient force to realise good
order in the province. The city was secure against
the attacks of the besiegers, though 2000 men had
been drawn from it, who went with the squadron.—
It is now necessary not to lose a moment, that the
rebels, whose situation is desperate, may not do the
Reconcavo more mischief than they have already done.

A letter from Kingston, Jamaica, dated April 18,
says—" Arrived yesterday the William, FRAM, in
eight days from La Guyra; she brings advice that
General Montilla, with 600 troops and 12 pieces of
artillery, intended shortly to give battle to General
Morales, who had taken a strong position in the neigh-
bourhood of Maracaibo, but with very inferior force."
TIIR PLAGUE.--CGNSTADITINOPLTy APRIL 26.
The plague is in Bujukdere: ten days ago a new case,
which proved mortal, occurred in Pera, and several
patients have already been brought into the Greek
Hospital. The contagion seems not yet to have spread
among the Turks, Armenians, and Jews ; but it is
said that it begins to spread in Alexandria: the
Wands of Candia and Tyno too, are still suffering by
its wages.
