LATEST FROM EUROPE.

By late arrivals, we have received
London papers to the 2lst, and Paris TO
the 10Th ult.
The most important: intelligence
which they afford, and which will be
learned with pain by all who take an in
terest in the struggle of the brave
Greeks with their goading oppressers, is
The fall Of Missolnnghi, after a most de-
| termined resistance on the part of the
4 garrison and people. Though the e.
vent does not, of itself, decide the fate
of the great contest between the cross
and the creceDt, it argurs but too favor
ably for its final result, and it is TO be
feared that unless promptly and efficient
ly aided from abroad, the champions of
The former will be vanqnished at last.
Some of the accounts state that the SOL
diers Of Ibrahim butchered IL 900 of
the unfortunate inhabitants, and others
are silent on the subject; but there
seems TO be no doubt OF the fall of the
city ITSELF nor of the disgraceful fact
that large humber of the Pacha's Of
ficers were renegades from France. 1t
is also stated that The Turks had taken
Anatolico.
1t was rumoured at Prevesa on The
OH of March, that Misulis had captured
25 Egyptian ships richly laden, sent by
the Pacha Of that country 10 Constan-
tinople and further, that the Greeks
had, by a very bold coup de main, made
themselves masters of seven magazines
of provisions and ammunition in Thes-
sally and olympus
The London Times, Of the It'll, says,
L" Mr.. Stratford Canning has received
orders to make such pressing remon-
srances to the Turkish government
against their cruel war with the Greeks,
that it is probable he will prevail upon
them TO comply; if not to declare inme-
diately the Independence of Greece, at
least, to cause suspension Of military
operations, until the definite negotiations
could be made. 1t is even expected
that the news of an armis,ce will soon
reach London"
Ii is stated 10 letter of a late date
from Constantinople, that positive infor-
nation had been received there, that 10
late conference between Mr. Canning,
Prince Mavrocordato, and other Depu.
ties Of the Greek government, the two
parties agreed upon the basis Of the me-
gotiations which the British Minister
was to conduct at Constantinople, and
which, as far asthey had gone, afford
probability Of success. MIR. Canning is
authorized 10 act ia the name OF the
Greeks under the auspices of England.
A Constantinople paper Of the 18th
March, says, Mr.. Canning had already
had an audience with the Refs Effendi,
and that he had sent him note in favor
of the Greeks.
Russia-The Paris Constitutional Of
the 18th April, says, that intelligence
had arrived from st. Petersburgh, an
nouncing the failure of the Duke Of
Wellington's negotiations. His Grace
is represented to have been instructed
TO demand that deliberations should be
held in Congress of the Great Powers,

to the efTusion of Christian blood in
Greece, and Of Terminating the affairs of
Moldavia and Walachia. Cd, Upon the

it is said that the Cabinet Of ST. Peters
burgh, while it offered 10 take part in
the negotiations with the Porte for put
ting an end TO the sanguinary struggle
in Greece, answered upon the other
points, with great pertinence, "that
they could not be the subject of any de-
liberation in comron with the other
powers; that the difficulties relative 10
