We know nothing precisely respecting the plan of
Lord Cochrane, or the forces under his command.
Ibrahim Pacha has found in all parts of the Pelopon.
nesus obstacles which he did not expect, in the firmness
and activity of the Greeks. He first attacked Nlepa:-
pileon, the best fortified convent in Greece, and was
repulsed with loss. Having afterwards marched into
the territory of Ker iteas, he met with -Nikita, and Gen-
nsco Colocotrorsi. Their vigorous resistance defeateJ
his presjects, which were to gather in thicorn and draw
.off the cattle, in order to send them to Tr ipolizza, which
is in distresi for pt'ovisioni. The unarmed part of the
inha')i.ants retire to a distance from the toads at his
approach, and all the men whom he meets with are
armed. Redschid Pacha has turned towards the in•
terror r f Greece; but there are there 4,000 resolute soi-
fiefs, to subdue whom will cost him trouble, time, and
many men. The Constantinople fleet has returned for
the second time to Navarino. end left the field clear for
the four Greek brigs which Lord Cochrane has left to
blockade the entrance of the Gulf of Corinth.—German

FROSI THE CONSTITUTIONNEL OF AUG. 21.
GREECE (NAPOLI), JOLT P.
Since the capitulation of the Acropolis we seem more
in a state of peace than of war. The courage of those
who bore arms remains unbroken, and the determina-
tibn of the Greeks to reconquer their independence is
becoming more and more deep-root d. The arrival,
also, of Lord Cochrane and of General Church seems
to have sealed the liberty of Greece. The prudence of
General Church on the one hand, and his influence over
the troops, recalls the brilliant era of our victories on
land. The abilities of Lord Cochrane, and his erperi-
enc., will be the means of rendering the Gre:lc navy
more than a match for the large Turkish vessels, and
even of carrying terror into the enemy's ports. Greece
is grateful to those two foreign Chiefs, oho have come
to espouse her cause in a perirk of difficulty. Their
presence in every place where the dangers of the coon-
' try demand their assistance, reanimates the courage of
the Greeks.
General Church has gone to the Peloponnesus; he is
about to form a camp rn the city of Calatrita, to oppose
the Arabs who scour the interior of the country. On
the Ist of this month we got the intelligence that the
Greeks who guarded the convent of Megaspileon, at-
tacked and defeated a body of 1,500 Arabs, which
Ibrahim Pacha had sent against them. The loss of the
barbari.ins amounted to 400 left deaJ on the brow of a
hill, where the Greeks had waited in ambush for them.
Greece now wants only an able Chief to direct its
political affairs. We wait with impatience the arrival
of Count Capo d'lstria. His presence alone will rut
an end to those differences so unhappy for the commits
cause, in keeping our national strength divided. Not-
withstanding the disputes which existed in the National
Assembly, it has at length agreed in drawing up a Con-
stitutional Charter, which is as follows:
" CONSTITUTIONAL CHARTER. OF GRRECR.
" In the Name of the Holy and Undivided Trinity.
" The Greek nation, OUR convened for the third time la
National Assembly, proclaims before Goo and man, by its legiti.
mate deputies (stands:aims), in political ezktence and independence,
and establishes the following fundamental principles as its MO.
