FOOD, ARGOS ON TAN STU OF Aril%
I must now give you some account of affairs
here, and you may rely upon what I write as con-
taining nothing but facts. Count Capodistrias has
for ever lost all influence in this country; he may
hold out a little longer if he has money. He says
he has none, but people sweet that ho has a good
avast-full on board the Russian frigate, in which
he has a kind of head-quarters. Since I last wrote
to you, a deputation from Hydra has heen in Nau-
plia, and had a conference with the residents, and
the latter were obliged to avow that the people of
Hydra are in the right, consequently that impor-
tant island, which furnishes the greater part of the
seamen to the Greek navy, is now in a state of
independence de facto of Capodistrias' Govern-
ment; acting, at the same time, precisely accord-
ing to the established laws to which Capodistrias
himself has sworn. The voice is general through-
out Greece, demanding a National Assembly (to
turn out Capodistrias). Syra, the centre of com-
merce in Greece, has written to demand the con-
vocation of the Assembly, signed by all the re.
spectable merchants of the place. Porno, the
same ; and, besides Syra, many other islands of the
Archipelago have sent similar demands, and which
are also coming in from Peloponnesus and Roumelia.
Maine is quite independent of Capodistrias, and has
formed a local government. Roumelia is ready to
break out, and has already, in fact, commenced.—
The son of the celebrated Karatasso, at the head
of 300 or 400 men, acts as a kind of advance-
guard to a more formidable insurrection on the eve
of breaking out. The Greek Government paper
states every now and then the defeat and dispersion
sf the insurgents, but every body knows the falsity
of what is published in that paper. The other
day it stated that Tchami Karate's*, had lost 150
' men in killed and prisoners, whereas, in fact, he
had only one man killed, and Capodistrias lost six.
The Mores is agitated throughout, and even the
very deputies who betrayed their country to Capo-
distria in the Congress of Argos are now ashamed
of having been so grossly deceived, and are become
his enemies. Arrests are going on daily; num-
bers have boon exiled, and things are in that state
that a general movement cannot much longer be
prevented. In fact, nothing prevents the rising of
all Roumelia but the extreme poverty of the peo-
ple ; and the soldiers, who hate the Capodistrian
faction as much as the people in general, are ne-
vertheless induced to serve the President in order
to find bread for their families. The want of trilling
funds on the part of the leaders of the patriotic
party, to enable them to find bread for the troops,
is the only reason why the movement in ltonmelia,
and consequently in the Peloponnesus, has not al-
ready taken place. The other day Gen. Carnello
Delliganni was sentenced to two years' imprison-
ment for having signed the noted address to Prince
Leopold. Could that Prince have an idea with
what universal transport he would be received in
Greece, ft would, I think, almost induce him to
give GreOce the preference to Belgium. His re-
ported noniaceeptance of the throne of the latter
country has created a great sensation here, and
people begin again to hope that he may be yet in-
duced to accept the sovereignty of Greece.
