/ Intelligence has reached us from Corfu, that
Colocotrmi, has the command of the corps of
| Moriotes, who with the artillery are besieging
Patras. Propositions for a surrender of this
place, had been made by the Turkish garrison
of Caron and Modon, but the terms had been re-
jectcd by the Greeks. The Turkish ships which
were cruizng in the neighborhuod of Missolong-
IN, fled on the appearance of a considerable
! Greek feet. The Greek government has di-
rected an expedition to be organized without de-
lay, to proceed against the Turkish forts on the
North side of the Lepanto. The inhabitants of
the coasi of the Gulph of FoIo, have again rails
ed the standard of insurrection, and lave cut to
pieces some Turkish corps, who had marched a.

! The Refs Effcndi, since the return of the fleet,
has had conferences with Lord Stringford, and
1t Is believed that the Porte begins TO take his
advice relative to the affairs of the instruction.
The expedition sent from Malta to Turis to re
claim the Greekscaptured by Barbary corsair,
has created great sensation here.
The Augsburg Gazette contains the following
intelligence from Constantinope of the 25th of
| November:
&c An English merchant vessel recently pass
ed the Bosphorus In spite OF the Turkish ships
and without having permit from the English
Embassy. The Paris Ehend has had an I'M
dcrstanding with Lord Strangiord for rigorous
measures, to be employed in future, against
such as should violate this formality. The Cap
tain Pacha has arrived in the capital, leaving
the command of his fleet in the Vice Admiral
Ills presence will make it generally believed
that the good intentions of calming the insur-
rections OF the Greeks, by adopting moderate
measures and granting them Government
similar to that of the Principalities, have been
abandoned; and that the sword of vengeance
will reclaim its former prerogatives. Yet the
capture fCorinth, and the raising of the block
ade OF Missolunghi will give greater firmness to
the spirit OF the insurgents, and it is difficult to
| imagine that any measures, except such as are
dictated by moderation, can triumph over their
eforts.'
The Paris Constitutional contains very elo
quent eulogium the Presidents message to
Congress. The sentiments of MIR. Monroe with
regard to the colonization of the American
Continent are approved. From the pole to
cape Horn, say they, the Americans are in le-
gltmatc possession of the Continent, and their
title to it could not be better founded fit issued
from the Vatican.
The Constitutional of the 9TH January, saws
that the citizens of Paris are actively occupied
IN the approaching elections. 1t is expected.
says this paper, that the result will be ennently
constitutional, that is to say that it will Indicate
the desire of preserving the integrity of the in
situations granted by the King, and that a free
and loyal expression of theelc jtors, Ill produce
majority friendly to the throne, to the eharter,
and to public liberty. 58
