GREECE AND TURKEY.
NuREMBuaeB, Jan, i0.-From persons
who have just returned from Verona, we
receive various Information of what passed
at the Congress. 1t was really proposed to
obtain Tor the Greeks, it possible, IN Sc
veral parts of their ancient country, name
iy, in the Morea aud the islands, a kind OF
Independence without, however, with.
drawing their territory from the suprema-
cy of the Porte, or too much affecting
the principles laid down by The Congress
OF Verona, respecting the integrity OF the
Turkish Empire. This seemed. to many
enlightened ministers, as the best means
to reconcile policy with humanity and CT
vilization; and the Russian cabinet could
not object 10 such plan, the Emperor Al
exandtr having repeatedly declared, in
The official notes delivered al Vienna by

Greeks he had no views OF aggrandIse-
ment The instructions OF The Duke of
Wellington were in general not 10 oppose
any plans that might be proposed tor the
emancipation OF the Greeks, provided
they could be accomplished without an
increase OF foreign influence in European
and Asiatic Turkey M. de Monthoren-
cy it IS said, was likewise induced by NJ:
de Cbsteaubrland not 10 oppose in general

how ever, the affairs OF Greece and Tur-
key seemed to be considered by the French
pienipotentiary as secondary TO those OF
SPAN. 1t was agreed at Verona, that
fresh negotiations should be entered upon
at ConstantnopIe by the christian powers
in concert but the result will chiefly de-
pend Oh the turn things take in Turkey.
Ii as may be expected, the actual siiua-
ton of the French empire should be rem
dered still more alarming, it may be hoped
that the provincial embarrassment arising
from the revolt of SO many provinces may
induce the Porte to yield and it the
Greeks hold out some time longer, which
is likewise probable, the Turkish govern
M ut may perhaps be disposed to accept
the mediation OF christian powers, both 10
settle its differences with Russia, and for
the final restoration of tranquility in the
revolted provinces.
After the declaration respecting the IN
surrection of the Greeks issued by the
power. last year, it could not appear adj
sable to admit the Greek deputies al We
