that the English government proclaimed its
neutrality in the war between the Porte and
the insurgents as soon as the war broke out
and the Recognizing the declared blockades
oil the two parties is only a continuation of
this neutrality, as we have seen it done in like
cases, namely, during the war between Spain
and the insurgent colonies.
Ten thousand men, commanded by Gen.

Greek government 10 set off at the end of
May, to rejon in Thessaly the army of the
frontiers. This is the first body of troops
which the Peninsula has destined To act against
the Turks IN the campaign of this year.
The plan OF the Greeks appears To he not to
advance further than their present frontiers,
before they have made the first cut at the
army which the Porte assemblies again this
yearin the northern part of Thessaly. Some
light troops only, consisting of partizans and
ofhorsemen, will push forward to secure the
most advantageous posts, and, To harrass the
enemy. Well informed men assure that this
plan, which was determined upon by the prin-
cIpai military chiefs at Astros is perfectly
well combined. Nothing is rskrd by it il

course In the coasts of Etolia, where they
ranged themselves under the banners of their
countryman and General. Another regiment

had retired 10 the mountains of Chmera
between Epirus and Acarnana, has also re-
joined the General-besides If we can believe
the advlces received here, the Albanians ap-
pear determined not to take any longer an
active part in war which interests them so
little, and which hitherto has cost them many
men without any profit. They will not take
up arms unless their country is attacked.
Captain Dmantis, who had already reta-
ken from the Turks, at the end of the last win
ter, the Peninsula of Cassandra, with consid-
cradle artillery, which these last had sent TO
fnrti!y this country, has established himself
there. When he first re-entered this peninsula
on his return from Macedonia, he thought
only of fortifying himself there. This first
duty fulfilled, he is now beginning to push
some bands of partizans who have caused
alarm IN the plains between Cassandra and
Salonica. The Instructions given by the go
Vernmrnt are, 10 allure the enemy hither, TO
occupy him in Macedonia, and la make of
tins Peninsula an important place ofdiversion.
The last advantages of the Greeks were
the occupation of the castle of Lepanto, which
was taken by storm, and the surrender of the
important town of NegropOnt. This place
surrendered to General Odysseus, who on his
return from Astros, had stopped to superin-
tend the siege.
