The Duke of WELLINGTON arrived in town last
night. The return of his Grace had a favourable
effect on the Funds this morning, it being considered
that he had succeeded in preserving peace between
France and Spain.

This forenoon we received a Getman Mail, bring-
ing Papers.to the.l7th instant inclusive. An article
from Trieste relates one of the most gallant exploits
ever recorded, in which a few Greek seamen, with
the most daring enthusiasm, set fire to the Turkish
fleet in the neighbourhood of Tenedos,• when the Ad-
miral's ship, with the Captain Pacha and 2500 men,
were blown up. Brairery and determination, like
that• displayed by the Greeks, cannot easily be sub-
dued, and it is disgraceful to Christian Europe to see
the noble struggle they make fur their liberties and
not to assist them. This account, however, states
that the policy of the British is. altered, and that we
have recognised the Greek blockade. The following
are extracts:

TRIRSTE, DECEMBER 7.
Important news from Hydra, of the 23d November,
has arrived here, which will be heard with interest in
Christian Europe. The heroic Greek seamen, in
their slight mercantile vessels, had followed the great
Turkish fleet to 'the neighbourhood of Tenedos, and
there saw with impatience the enemy at anchor, with
the intention of returning to Constantinople as soon
as permission should be received. The same sailors
who had caused the melancholy fate of the Captain
Pacha, offered in their enthusiasm to make a second
similar attempt. The Admiral gave his permission,
and 17 brave Greeks, headed by one Meiauly, whose
name will one day be illustrious in history, ap-
proached the great Admiral's ship at seven o'clock
in the evening of the 10th of November, with
Are-ships. The people on board this Colossus
already apprehended the approaching misfortune,
when Meiauly,with his own hand, threw combustibles
into the fire-ships, and hastened the explo,ion. The
success was brilliant. The Admiral's ship, with the
Captain Pacha on board, and 2,500 men, was blown
up : two frigates began to burn ; the Turks were thrown
into confusion, of which the Greeks took advantage,
and seized a- ft igate of 36 guns, undamaged. Thus,
in the course of the year, three Captain Pachas have
perished (one of them died of the plague). The last,
as Christian Journals affirm, was very skilful, having
served under the celebrated Captain Pacha Hussein,
in Egypt, at the time of the English Expedi-
tion, twenty-four years ago. Extraordinary re-
joicings took place at Hydra on this occasion ; their
joy was still greater, because the welcome news was'
brought by an English corvette, which had hoisted
the Greek flag along with its own. Lord Strangford,
who is now here, sets out the day after to-morrow for
Corfu. The policy of the English appears to be quite
altered ; at least the Greek blockade is at length re-
cognised by them.

SEMLIN, DECEMBER I.

Direct accounts relative to the latest events at Con-
stantinople
have not yet reached Belgrade. The
Pacha has no fresh couriers from that city; but
he received news by way of Nessa, respecting which
he observes total silence. Private letters from Nessa,
of the 80th November, are however here, which say
that a Tartar had arrived, who had only brought as
• stating in general that there were great ,
dis-
turbances at Constantinople and Adrianople; that
I the party of Haleb Effendi vas overthrown, and the
