have received papers, from which we
make few extracts. iilwiil be seen
that an article, under the dae 0! Berlin,
asssr's that the conferences al ST.. Pc
terspurg, on the subject Of Greece, have
endeu 10 nothing; which Is certainly the
! best ending we could hope Tor from
them. Every b;'dy who has attended &c

II was in ,h,s way ltha, the great army
which entered The Morea in 1929, was
desii Dyed, without an engagement That
deserved any other name than thsl Of q
skirmlsh. ODvssEus, whether from po-
icy, or to eubarass the Government,
with whom he at that tisnc had dIlf,eren-
ces, or from inability 10 resist, allowed
that army 10 pass the Th5rropy lac
" thou, opposition; it flowed on 10 me
Morea in Inc full confidence OF SUCCESS !;
n, resistance was heard of; the nus
trian Observer announces that the seye-
raj Greok Chiefs were making terms for
themselves, and tnat the day draam of
the lndependesce Of Greece was dissoly-
cd. A fortnight afterwards nothing was
hesrd oi llis triumphant army, and The
friends and the enemies ct the Turks
were equally 81 a loss to know what had
become OF lnen. tne des;ru ction was
apparently as neariy complete as any ar.
my ever suffered. A snaI portion
took refuge 10 tne forufesses of the
rest very few indeed led away.
From the intrigues OF the European
Powers, Greece has more TO fear; though
against these, 100, she has sort OF safe
guard in he extreme dsirust and Iea-
lousy Of the people towards one another,
and every one Use. Letters from Greece,
from perseos attached . TIC party Of he
Captain, o, Military Chiefs, accuse, We
know oui with what roth, Mavro ordato
oi an in,ertlan Of setting up foreign
Prince N The character OF Monarch.
Thcre is no dancer but such an attempt,
whicn wound have ,he effect Of making
CIR. eces dependency on some oo- OF.
1nc great Europeso powers, would be
resisted by the Greeks themselves. We
hope, too, tha, toe English government
would as little give lis countenance to
any such scheme, as to the plan OF re-
duc;ug Greece to the condition Of Mol
davia and Nvsllachia.
