Letters from Corfu, stating the very decided advantages which
the Greeks in Livadiahave obtained in the lo.t half of Jane, add.
'that the 'Military thirifs have resolved to attack the Island of Ne-
gropont. It Is them& that the English cruisers will oppose the
execution of the design ; but it is equally believed that the Greek
Government will du its utmost to extend its frontiers so the con-
tinent to the Gulfs of Arta and Vole, and to add to their State the
bawd of Negropcon. It is affirmed that Count Capo d'lstrias

The Governor of this place has received orders mot to admit the

claims, sod Spain has promised as an indenuilry for goods belong
ing to Moors, seized on board a Idaroquin ship, captured by Spa-
nish cruisers ; likewise a sum to pay the debts of the late Spanish
Consul, Mr. Orme, and one thousand piastres besides, which the
prhsent Consul owes. The Austrian squadron has bees reinforced

AS tberreseriles If Bulgaria have received orders to concentrate
at Bazardjic, on the side the invasion of Itonwlia will begin. Shut
.up in &mask with the wreck of his army, the Grand Vizier is no
longer in a condition to risk a battle for the safety of the province
which the Balkan no longer protects. Shumla Itself, which, with
an army for a garrison, paralysed last year all the efforts of the
Russians, may now easily be kept in check by a corpe of observe-
lion, and its sonquest would not be worth the blood shed is forti-
fications which nature has made impregnable. The Russian army
may, therefore, in a short time. descend, suong and threatening,
into the plains of Adrianople--Bourgas taken or blockaded;
the port of SizeboU will facilitate the transport of sub-
sistence and stores. Between that and Constantinople, there
is only the Sultan and the despair of his reserves.
In Lesser Wallachia, this year, the movements of the Russians
have been slower. If the forces of the Pacha of Widdin are not
exaggerated. Gen. Geismar has encountered serious obstacles in his
route. It must be allowed that the Porte has made great exertions
en his side. for there are some officers who maintain that the lova.
sion ought to have been made on the side of Sophia, in order to
avoid the passage of Mount Hemus, and secure the support of the
doubtful Servians. The capture of Erajowa is, however, one piece
'of good fortune, and perhaps at this time Gen Geismar ls advancing
by the frontiersof Servla, asGen. Roth is by the borders of the Black
Sea. In a few weeks we shall know what to think of the executiso
of a plan which is unfolding to our view, and is now exercising con.
lecture in Europe. Will the question be decided between ono.
ciators in some obscure frontier town, or in the plains of Thrace?
This is the only uncertainty. The denouement canoe( be long de.
layed. The Ottoman Empire must humble itself in negociation,
or raise heel(' triumphantly in the held. if it will not accept peace,
and does net gain a victory, we may, perhaps, have a third cam.
paign in Rotnelia ; but we hope the war will not change its place;
it might then be long and bloody.

MARSEILLES, Jury 28.
The fine frigate constructed here for the Packs of Egypt we
shortly sail for Alexandria. This frigate is a perfect model as to
equipment and construction ; whilst the luxury of her decorations
is unequalled. M. de Villeneuve a Captain of the Royal Navy.
inspected the frigate a few days since, and was particularly struck
with the tackle, hold, and rigging, as well as the cleanliness that
prevailed throughout. The water-tanks and sick-room also puth.
cularly engaged his attention ; and be even took Dotes, so struck
was he by what he had seen. This frigate will take on board 1,000
cuirasses and furniture for 7,000 horses. The Packs is going to
form several regiments of cavalry upon the French plan, and shortly
will be seen on the banks of the Nile, Arabs transformed into
lancers, chasseurs, dragoons, cuirassiers, and hussars. The Pacha
does ail this to please his son Ibrahim, who, having seen one of our
regiments of chamfers reviewed at Mudoo, was transported at the
sight. General Livron, agent of the Pacha, has lately engaged 25
ancient French officers of cavalry, who will embark on board the
frigate, and are to be employed in forming and training the new
.regiments. Amongst them are five astir d'escadrox, the others
bearing the rank of Captain. The former are to receive 25,000
francs yearly pay ; and the others have been promised 10,000
francs.

CONSTANTINOPLE, JuNz 30.

After the arrival of several couriers from the camp of the Grand
Vizier, it transpired that Gen. Diebluch had transmitted to the
Turksh Commander-in- Chief pacific propositloos, by the interven-
tion of Mr. Anthony Fasten. When the Grand Vizier acquainted
the Porte with it, several Councils of State were held in conse-
quence thereof. For several days past the greatest activity has
been observed in the palace of the Porte ; and as the interpreter,
Isaac Effendi, has received orders to proceed to the camp of the
Grand Vizier, although it is not known whether this order has been
given after the receipt of the dispatches from this General.—
jaowever in this disposition the intention of the Porte is seen
as disinclined to lend an ear to our proposals of peace. Nothing
fresh has Uaaspired from the theatre of war. The Grand
Vizier still remains at Shumla, where he receives daily reinforce-
ments from every quarter. The troops of Adrianople have received
orders to march to Aidos. It seems that both parties have tacitly
agreed to a suspension of arms, to gab time for obtaining rein-
forcements, to fill up the void made by the terrible battles of the
10th and 11th of June. It is natural that the loss of the Russians,
In these two battles, should be rated somewhat higher in the East ;
but it must be owned that on this occasion their exaggeration ex-
ceeds all bounds, for it is pretended that the Russians have lost
1.5,00 u men on both these days, whilst the Turks had lost only
11,000.

BUCHAREST, JULY 15.
After some days of repose. the army which besieged .&liatria.
with the exception of the corps destined to reinforce the trpops
blockading Rudschuk, Which reckons only 3,000 men, marched
for Sboasla, and •it is moreover athrmed that General
Count Dtebitsch means to penetrate as far as Adrianople, through
the Balkan mountain. We learn from Rachuva that General
Geismar has detached three thousand men to Nicopolis, to
blockade that place. It is likewise asserted that the Packs of
Redschuk has demanded to treat respecting the surrender of
that place since the capture cf Silistria. It appears, from
the reports in circulation, that the inhabitants of this place
have declared to the Packs that they would neither suffer
their town to be besieged or to be burnt, (Rudachuk is en-
tirely built of wood). Several scenes of disturbance have taken
place in consequence thereof ; and, as these commotion alarm the
Turkish garrison much, the Packa is said to have sent five Nota-
bles to &Ustria to obtain the free departure of the garrison. As
mo.t of the inhabitants are Wallachtans, no doubt is here enter-
tallied respecting the truth of this intelligence ; and it is therefore
conjectured that the town has been surrendered at ibis very
moment.
