GREECE.

FROM TIIL ETOILE, DATED MONDAY, NOV. 14.
CORFU, OCT. 78.

Accounts from Zatite state thAt Colocotroni, with
1..(100 men, defeated Ibrahim Pacha in the beginning
of October, near Nlarathonissi, and forced him to take
refuge oith a very small number of troops at Mistra,
where he is blockaded.
Letters from Pre•esa, dated October 6, announce a

• ,rvention concluded between the Capt Pach4 and
"1.1 .met Ali, since the juncion of the two fleets. The
latter promises to indemnify the Porte for all the losses
it may ,ustain in its marine, and to remain without the
Darclanel'es ith the Egyptian fleet, and not to go to
Co:lstantinoi le. The rc volution in Candia has not had
the success that the Greeks expected from it, but they
wr e still masters of the fortress of Grabusa.

On the 21st September (3d Oct.) the Turks threw
in•o a batter y at Missolonghi a letter, in which they de-
sired an interview with the Greek Generals. The letter
sie:s sent back IA ith this short answer, that the Greeks
would not communicate with the Turks, except with
arms in their hands. The next day but one there was a
new affair; a mine blew up one of the vrot ks raised by
the Turks, wlo have been obliged to retreat into their
entrenchments at the greatest distance fron► the fortress.
'There is a report of a new popular commotion at
Smyrna, of a fire which has destroyed 1,200 houses,
and of a ftightful massacre. It is affirmed, that the
French ships of war in the port of that city gre:ttly
contribute d, by prudent, humane, and, at the same time,
•igorous 114CMUICS, to prevent that unfortunate city
ft orn entire destruction.
On the 12th October, Karoiskaki attacked the Turks
in Garrison at Caravassura, which serves as the depot
for the ammunition and provisions of the army of the
Scraskier. 'l he Greeks, it is said, marched with drums
beating and music playing, and succeeded in their en-
terprise. A young Greek rushed forward to set fire to
the powder magazine, but fell a victim to his self-devo-
tion,,before he could attain his object.
A report is spreaJ, that Mianlis having convinced
himself that the Turkish and Egyptian fleets were uni-
ted in the port of Alexandria, and ste:e preparing to
sail to convoy new supplies of troops 'and ammunition
to the Morea and Acarnania, hid fine! with stones se-
veral vessels lately captured, and sunk them at the
entrance of the port, thus preventing the enemy from
coming out.

STOCK EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The Consul Market still remains in a •rry feverish state. In
the early part of the morning, these was a great appearance of their
mending, bat it did not last long; they ruse half per cent. when
parties came in, and banged them down.

Consols opened at 851 86, and one bargain was done at 86; but
a report prevailed of an Express from Paris, which brought the
llentes lower, and thus caused the Market to lower to 8!r j. They
are now at 85j I, and for next time 86 to 1, with no business of
importance.
In the Foreign Market little is doing.

A Morning Paper has this dav, and on many former
occasions, laboured so zealously to bring a recently
enacted penal law into hatred and contempt, that we
think it worth while to say a few worth by way of
remonstrance.

When it was resolved last year to abolish the odious
and inhuman practice of setting spring guns in g4rdclis
and pleasure greonds, .an obvious necessity presented
itself, for protecting, by some other means, the property
which those mischievous engines were previously r.m-
ployed to preserve.
The offence of robbing gardens and orchards was
declared a felony. Why that species of robbery should
not, as. well as every other, have been a felony in the
eye of the law long ago, we are unable to conjecture.
It was, we presume, always a felony to steal fruit, ripe
r otherwise, at a shop window : and it would be difr-
cult to suggest arty good reason for rite opting from a
similar infamy the offence of stealing the very same
fruit from the tree.

Besides, no one can climb over a garden wall and
break into his neighbour's inclosure, steal his fruit, and
carry it away in, sarkfulls, without a decidedly felo-
nious intention, previously planned and contrived, and
executed in general wit's additional damage to the prc-
perty. Any one who happens to possess a garden in
the vicinity of Lc ndcn, knbws to his vexation, that th
