GREECE.

In.a private communication from Napoli of Dec. 8 (in the
Leipsic Journal), there is the folloWing passage :
" The Greek Senate with all its arc-hives. went on the 17th
(29th) November to Spezzia, and then to Astros, and has there
formed a separate government, with Colocotroni at its head,
who on all occasions has distinguished himself by acting in his
own way, and has commenced with an insulting proclamation
'against one of the three allied powers."
Nothing but the speedy arrival of the regency can put a stop
to such scenes. The present general Gueheneuc, coin-
mandin,,,o• in the Morea, has presented, in the name of. the
Wench -goVernment, 2000 fraticSlO the—Military School and
to the Orphan house at Egina, both of which were in the great-
est distress. The commander of the French artillery has in
like manner presented to the arsenal here 1500 francs to pre-
vent the sale of some arms.

Intelligence has arrived from Constantinople to the Ist inst.,
front which it appears that on the 21st ult. the Grand Vizier
having attacked Ibrahini Pacha, in the plain behind Koniah,
,the action lasted the whole of the day, and several corps of the
Ottoman troops fought with the greatest intrepidity, but the main
body of...the.Turkisia army having 2,-Iven wayLthe Egyptian ar-
tillery and cavalry overcame all further resistance, and effected
a complete rout. The Grand \ izier was wounded and made pri-
soner, with many of the Pachas, amongst whom were the titular
Pacha of Koniah, and Bosnak Ali Pacha. The Egyptian army
which-before the battle was 30,000 strong, experienced consi-
derable losses, and it is not known whether it made any further
advance. Of the Ottoman army, Mehemet Pacha and Achnset
Pacha remained, the one at Ak Cherh and the other at . Eski
Cherh; endeavouring to collect the scattered forces. The Porte
had sent into Asia-ail the recruits that could be mustered, and
the Seraskier was on the -pint of setting out. In the mean
time, the Turkish government contemplated sending an agent
to Alexandria to treat with Mehemet Ali, and it was said that
some conferences had taken place on the same subject between
the Grand Vizier and Ibrahim Pacha.—Nouvalliste, French

paper.
'Well-informed people are anxiously turning their eyes
towards Constantinople. The news of the success of the Egyp-
tians, after having been kept secret for two or three days, has
at.last come out, and every body expects great consequences to
flow from it. I have heard in a wZill-informed quarter that a treaty
is, if not signed, at least ready to be so between England and
France to oppose Russia, should she take advantage of circum-
stances to possess herself of Constantinople: the same person
added, that Austria would, after some hesitation, join the two
other Powers to prevent the extinction of Turkey. I know not
what to think of all these assertions, particularly the latter one,
but I give thei . to•you as I heard them ' • at all events, it would
be the happiest turn affairs could take here ; for depend upon
it if, on one hand, a general war—a war of principles—is to be
avoided as endangering, the present government, on the other
no man of reflection will consider that establishment safe so
long as a war of a common nature, such as Constantinople
might furnish us, has not given a current to what will other-
wise, sooner or later, shake us at home.—Times' Paris Curves-
pondorat.

VAN DIEMAN'S LAND.
Launceston papers to the 17th of July, and Hobart Town
papers to the 31st, haire been received. A meeting of the inha-
bitants of Sydney, had been called by the Sheriff- for the 13th
August, with a view of obtaining a Legislative Assembly, in-
stead of the system of representation conferred on the colony
by the last act of parliament. Thirty lots of crown lands,
averaging about 750 acres each, had been sold at Hobart Town
on the 30th July, at from ss. 6d. to lie. per acre, which was
considered a good price. Great embarrassment existed in Van
Dieman's Land from want of money, which was exceedingly
scarce. A long continuance of wet weather had rendered the
roads of the colony impassable.
