ANCONA, Daccmsza 26.

We are daily more and more convinced that an arrangement
between the Cabinets of London and Park and the Porte is pre-
paring, and that the affairs of Greece will be shortly settled. It
is affirmed that every facilty is afforded to the Porte, to enable it
to come to a decisitm ; and that a way will be opened for Dego-
dation', and the return of M . Stratford Canning and Guile-
minot to Constantinople. Couriers hastening from London and
Paris to Poros, are said to have conveyed most important instruc-
tions to the Ambassadors. The Admirals too, and the Lord High
Commissioner at Corfu, are said to have received new orders, ac-
companied with the strictest injunctions to avoid every thing that
might afford the Porte grounds for complaint. It is even affirmed,
in letters front Corfu, that Sir Pulteney Malcolm has been blamed
by the English Government, fir the indifference with which he
tolerates the new piracies of the Greeks, as well as fur bis conduct
on other occasions. General Maison has stopped the works which
had been commenced f r the defence of the Peninsula, and seem
to have left the completion of them to the Greek Government.
The French soldiers who, on their arrival, were enthtuiastic in
favour of the Greek cause, are reported to be much less so, and to
long for orders to return home. It is even said that General
Manion has expressed such a wish, in one of his dispatches; but
this dues not seem to be suitable to the General's character. Fee
quent remittances arrive for the Russian fleet in the Mediter- ,
ranean ; and the large amount of the sums, shows how great the
expenses ale which Russia is put to by the war with the Porte.
FRONT! ERS OF SERVIA, Dee. 21t.
There is a great deal of ice on the Danube, by which
navi-
gation is wholly interrupted. The coureyance of provision. to the
Turkish fortresses is thereby rendereel impuisible, for the deep
snow binders supply by land. Some embarrassment is fell at Ltd-
grade respecting the immediate execution of the orders received
front Constantinople fur the supply of the troops and the formation'
of magazines in those fortresses. The contractors, in particular,
appear to have forgotten one stipulation in the cootraets, namely,
an exemption front respoasibihiry, if they were hindered by bad
weather from fulfilling their engagements: this imprudence n.ay
coat them dear, for the Turk adheres strictly to the letter, and ad-
mits of 00 excuse. Since the last mail, and the an of a Couriet
at the Lazaretto, we have no news from Consiat [[ itt °pie, nor have
we anything worth notice from other parts. The report of an at-
' tack made by the Turks on Dazardjik, which I mentioned in a
former communication as needing confirniatioti, seem. to be wholly
%l•...ic_ra is said to _Ave greatly
unfounded. The contagion in II h
abated in COO4tqlicilCe sal the very severe cold that has set in.

In consequence of the slight frost and snow which we have had
for some tune past, there is a good deal or floating ice, particularly
lower down the river, in econsevence or which several ships both
gurus down and coming up have been obliged to lie to. 'I be
passage to and from Hamburg,' is still open.
