MITCH MAIL.

&aim Nov. 15.—Our Sovereign, like the King of
Portugal, has deprived Sir Robert Wilson of the Order
which he had conferred on him. The decree to this effect,
ts Hell appears to be six weeks old, is published to day in
our State Gazette. It is directed to the General Com-
mittee of the Order, and is conceived in the following
terms
:
When in the year 1413, 1 conferred the Order of the
Ned Rule on Sir K. Wilson, at that time Major General in
t;.e British service, it was my intention to give him an
acknowledgment for the intrepidity and firmness which he
Lad shown in the great struggle for the independence and
tranqoility of Europe; but as he has shown himself both
by words and deeds, to be a zealous and ardent friend and
advocate of anarchical and revolationary principles, end
ins thereby rendered himself unworthy of the Order for-
it erly conferred on him, I thereby charge the Genera'
l'a.:.tnittee of the Order to ehise his name from the list of
• a y Orders.

GREECE.
IlvonA, Sem I, 1823.—After the battle at Carpinissi
which wee fought by the immortal Marcus Botzeris, the Turk-
ish fleet made sail from Missolongo, lent to Milos, and having
ampule/wed some resistance, did not disembark, and continued
. Its course coasting the islands of Faros, Sires, Tino, Miconos,
be. without stopping at say island wept at Sires, where it
left two frigates. It is not yet known whether or not it will
Lo to Mitylens, to Sclo. or if it will return to Coustantinople,
to 015% the winter there.
The Greek fleet sailed from hence yesterday, and remained
4 Anglhe night offthe island, without being able to make any
ogress. itt consequence of a gale of Wind blowing against it.
It waits for nothing, therefore, now but flue weather, to pro-
ceed lied atteek the enemy. The vessels of the Hydriots are
twer.ty in numbest, including four fire ships ; those of the Spez-
riots amount to eighteen, including two fire ships; those of the
Ipsariots are fifteen, including also two firs ships. The Spec-
. slots have not yet come out. but they have written that they
• are to sail in three days. The Ipsariots and the Hydriots have
resolved, however, to fight without the others, if they do not
join them in time. •
Sy the following letter addressed by the Captain of a French
frigate to a Greek authority of one of the Islands, will be seen
the intrigues which are made use of to sow divisions among
the Greek Islands:—
"Nazis, on board the Selsmandre, July 92.1893.

pose and would prevent by force, if you laid obstables in its
way,-that any imposts whatever should be laid on the property
of the French Consul, of the religious people, and on the pro-
perty of the Latin sad Greek Catholics, which would place
them in opposition to that neutral conduct which they wish to
observe. I have to desire you will remove the sequee'retion

import it to the Commandant of the division at Nausea ; and.
In the mean time. I shall act according to the orders which he
