and that their conferences are expected to be in
sense hostile to Great Britain. The principal
question Is stated to he, the arrangement of the
affairs OF Greece. The Continental papers will
have 1t that the Emperor OF Russia means to
place the son of the eS-king of Poland on the
throne OF Modern Greece. The Grcehs them
selves are wholly forgotten in the matter, as il
they had no voice or interest whatever. The
German Journals, however contradict this re-
port.-Accor;!ing to these papers, this inter
view would haychad for its object to discuss the
affairs OF the east, and in spirit opposed to that

The capture of Lcpanto by Col. Stanhope, is
not confirmed. On the contrary it is stated
that lie did not find the entcrprise as easy as
he imagined, and he has PROCEEDED to Salonc
thence on Voltizza, and finally on Tripolizza,
where he has determined to establish military
posts, which will hold correspondence with the
interior of the Morea.
a tragic event has taken place at NIssoIonr-

that city brought with them number of ex-
pert arhhcers. Maurocordato wished to en-

Suliots feeling highly indignant that they should
be prevented from entering the laboratory, n
general quarrel took place between them and
the guard.-The officer commanding the lat
ter, who was German, advanced to signify his
authority when one of the Suiots laid him dead
at his feet with pistol shot. The men who
were engaged at the laboratory, thinking them
selves no longer safe, took fight from thence,
and 10 of them had already arrived at Lantc

Turk in returning from the city fell from his
horse, and was wounded in the body by his own
cutlass. Being brought back, he was lodged
in house, which i'll little time was surroun-
ded by an in;uriate mob, calling aloud for an ac-
count OF the affair. The Turk honestly de-
clared, in vain, that he was wounded in his fall
by his own cutlass. The people cried aloud
that he had beer way-laid by the Greeks; and
regardless OH assertion to the contrary they
set about taking summary vengeance. Every
Greek that they met in the street they slew
nor had the carnage ceased until victims were
swclled to the number above stated.-Thesc
transactions took place on the 18th and 18th of
February, but on the 10Th order was in some
measure restored.

On the Eth of March, kassian Chan, the
Persian Ambassador tothc Sublime Porte made
his entrance into the capital. The Porte has
assigned as his residence n hotel in the quarter
PAkserai. IL is already known that the Sultan
has proposed 10 the Viceroy of Egypt the com
mand in chief Of the expedition against the in
surgents. The Porte has kept his negotiation
very secret, still the nomination of the Pacha
and lis acceptance have been known with GER
tainty.
Letters from Alexandra of the 18th, 18th
and l6tb OF February, announce that this news
became at Cairo the subject of the conversation
OF all, and that very great military preparations
are made there. The Pacha can easily send an
army of from 90 to $4,000 men, a considerable
part ofwhch is organised anl disciplined in the
European manner. 1t is said, also, that he will
