GREECE,
The accounts from this country have been
from the commencement Of the insurrection
there, extremely contradictory. by the last
arrival there is one, account as mentioned 10
our postscript yesterday, that the whole
of the Morea had been reduced to obedl-
ence to the Turks; and another that
rripolitza. the capital Of the Morea, and 81
tusted in about the centre Of the province.
had surrendered to the Greeks. This being
a part of Greece for which perhaps stronger
hopes have been entertained than any other,
we here recapitulste part OF the intelligence
which We haze had Of the events OF the pre-
sent campaign in tina: quarter. A letter dat
ed Athens, May 5, which we find in the
Journal du Commerce. and which has the
appearance OF authenticity, states that in the
beginning of April revolt against the Porte
broke out in The Morea, AMI afterwards in
the adjacent provinces. At the date of the
letter the Turks in the Morea, as we'll as in
Negropont anl at Athens, had retired to
their castles. The higher and lower clergy.

tains, we're a. the head OF the insurrecton. -
The castle Of Patras was then heseiged by 4
600 armed peasants, with the Bishop at their
head. and the Turks made an obstinate de-
fence. Tripol:za, the residence OF the Ot'
tomas Governor, defended by high and
strong wall was also beseiged by the Mai.
notes. Ii had strong Turkish garrison.

also besieged Livadia, &. Thebss in Liyidia,

far as We Cen judge, that in the months OF
June and July the Greeks have met with any

from c, nstan,lnople have repeatedly men
toned the preparations making to reduce
the insurgents OF the horea. One dated
Nay 5, mentions that the late grand VIzer
Ali-Righa- Pachs, predecessor OF Renderli,
I who had eliled to Gall,pDli, was appointed
commander OF the forces destined against
he rebels OF the Morea. These forces how
