JANUARY 14.—The favourable news for the Greeks
announced by the last Mail seemed to be confirmt:t!-
Ibrahim Pacha met with a considerable defeat on the
7th of December, near Corinth, from Nikitas, on which
occasion the famous Renegado La Sene (now Suley•
man Bey,) was the first to take flight. Ibrahim Pacha
has since gone to Para', where Miaulis who has gained
advantages in another action with the Captain Pacha,
blockades him by sea, and hinders his operations igainst
Missolongh'. These accounts make a great impression
on the Turks, because this is the last winter campaign
made by the Egyptians on European ground.
It was already feared that the Franks in the Egyptian
service, who advised a winter campaign, will pay
dearly for it. The Greeks, on their side, expect 4
favourable issue of this winter campaign, especially as
the interior of the More,' is said to have been evacuated
by the Egyptians since the middle of December. It
was the Neapolitan refugee, Itossarol, who took Tri.
polizza, but he was mortally wounded. Mr. Stratford
Canning has not yet arrived, some accounts say he
delays at Spezzia, others at Napoli de Romania.
However, a mimand..r, is already gone to the Darcht-
nells, to accompany him hither. The report still pre-
vails, that he is to make proposals in f.your of the
Greeks. On the 4th of this month, there was a terrible.

Our Gazette contains, under the head df Corfu, bec,,

from the Morea, Ibrahim flacha continues to scour the
Peninsula in every direction. He makes many slaves.
among whom are a.great many women.. These unfor-
tunates are sold at Prevesa, for twenty to twenty-five
piastres ; every Arab has at least two ; the devasta-
tions are dreadful. According to accounts that have
been received, slissolonghi has already surrendered to
the Turks." This article needs no comment, only it is
to be observed, that the most recent letters from Corfu,
of J innary 13, do not say a word of the fall of Mis-

Madras Papers to the 7th of October, and letters]
from Penang of the 24th, have been received, but they
contain little intelligence from the seat of war in India.
The accounts from• Prome, state a report that the force
of the enemy which was in front, had been ordered to
the capital, where great consternation is said to prevail,
and although the King gives to each man 150 7icka4,
his troops desert in great numbers, saying their opposing
the British forces is of no use.

A letter from Rangoon, of the 15th ult. mentions
that the steam-vessel (with Sir ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL,
and his Staff en board, returning horn Rangoon) was
nearly lost on her way up to Prome, baying unfortu-
nately got:into a whirlpool between Donabew and Sur-
iawa. A Mr. ViarußA, who was a spectator at a
small distance in a boar, hastened towards the whirl-
pool to save what lives he could in case of accident, but
unfortunitely lost his own, as his boat was carried
down to rise no More.

Some accounts state, that the Burmese are likely to
make a stand near Prome, and are even constructing
stockades, while others assert that a Bag of truce has
gone to Ummerapoora, with a prospect of terminating
the war by negotiation.
A private letter from India, in the Dunfries Courier,
though not very specific in its details, draws a gloomy
picture of the present state of our Indian possessions,
and expresses a hope that we will always keep fifty
thousaui Europeans there ready to take the field. This
letter stases, that a notion has become prevalent among
the natives that our career in India is drawing to a
close. The Government had given orders for the
formation of twelve new regiments of native infantry,
ar►d two of native cavalry.
