GREEcE.-The accounts from Greece,
we regret to say, are by no means so
favourable TO the cause of the Greeks
as we had reason to anticipate. lbrahim
Pacha, so far from being defeated and
captured, is now stated TO be at the
head of a numerous and well disciplined
army, carrying every thing before him,
and meeting with little or no opposition.
An English naval officer, who has seen
his army, says, that "his troops are all
trained, and go through their maneu-
vres as we'll as any regulars; added to
which they are perfectly obedient, and
are not deficient in courage" This
opinion, which we have reason to be-
lieve correct, argues much in favor of
the probable success of the Turkish
arms in the present campaign, as the
Greeks are not only undiscipIned, but
appear unwilling to profit by the instruc-
lions Of the foreign officers who have
Joined their service. The Porte, anlmat-
ed by the success which has attended
the arms of Ibrahim Pacha, are said
10 be making new efforts to conclude
the war, and fresh ornaments are pre-
pairing in the port of Constaninople
for the transportation of troops and the
reinforcement of the Captain Pacha.
The Pacha of Egypt has also prepared
5000 troops for the reinforcement of
the army ia the Morea.
/ After the arrival ofthe Captain Pacha
: at Missolonghi, Redschid Pacha made
s. an attack onthat place, but was repuls-
/. ed with considerable loss. The attack
81 was afterwards renewed, but OH the
d 2lst of July the place had not capitulat-
led.
The Greek Admiral Miaulis is said to
have burnt several Turkish ships, be-
tween Modon and Navarino; audis now

On the other hand, London paper

people. Several conspiracies have been
lately detected; and among others, a
very extensive one at Seville, in conse-

taken place, including many of the high
er orders of the clergy. An attempt
has been lately made by the apostolic
party to procure the re-establlshment
ofthe lnquisilion, in order TO obtain the
immense estates formerly in its posses

elfectual, the King refusing to accede TO
their proposition. 1t seems that the
