ROME, MAY 11.

The Diane di Reese, after describing the fall of Misselonghi, adds,
—lt is inconceivable that nothing was heard of Goura or Fab:
vier ; probably they were not strong enough to force their way
through the enemy s lines. But it seems still more inconceivable,
that the Greek Government at Napoli did not exert itself to the
utmost to save Missolonshi, the bulwark of Greece, as it might
have foreseen that if that place fell, the storm must fall next on
itself, and the town where it resided. Colocotroni, one of the most
experienced Commanders, hovered about Tripolizza, without doing
any thing of consequence ; as if confined within a magic circle, in-
stead of hastening to the relief of a fortress, with the fate of which
tharof Greece itself was so closely connected. The only consola-
tion is, that Ibrahim's army must be greatiy weakened by the many
unsuccessful attacks, and by the last sanguinary catastrophe, in
which numbers were killed by the blowing up of the mines; and it
may perhaps be a considerable time before the Egyptian Commander
will be able to attempt any thing of importance.

CONSTANTINOPLF., MAY 3.
The Divan is much incensed at a letter (copies of which are
here circulated in MS.), from a Greek agent in London to a friend
in Zante. It is dated 17th February, and announces an approaching
change in the policy of Russia (which, however, passed ever the
cause of the Greeks in its ultimatum), and added that England
would soon co-operate with Russia in favour of the Greeks. Bet
according to all the circumstances, this letter by no means merits
the attention whit!, the Turks give fb it. As for the Greeks here,
they build their last hopes on the fact, that where the Divan is
concerned, promise is not always followed by performance, as
Is shown by the acceptance, as it if called, of the Russian Ultima-
tum of 1821. But we believe they deceive themselves, the Divan
is too sensible of the change that has taken place since 1821, to at-
tempt such evasions as it did at that time.
