The anticipated attack on Mssolongbha, ha,
been made-with what success will apue,r
from the following statement.
Corfu, Jan. 1-Ibrahim Pacha, after hav.
ing completely failed and lost consider.
Bile number OF his troops. in his march upon
Caldyryta and Acrata, threw himself into
Neupatce, where he precipitately embark.
ed on board Egyptian vessels, traversed the
gulph and moved upon Missolonghi. Arriy.
ed before this place, he instantly ordered
general assault; bnt the garrison made
noble stand, repulsed the enemy on all points
and obliged them to retire to the old en-.
trenchments OF the Seraskier. Missolonght
beseiged for several days from the sea side
began to experience the want of provisions.
but no sooner had the Greek feet rcappear
ed, than all the communications were again
thrown open.
In addition to all this, we hear Of fatal di-
VISIONS IN the Turkish camp, between the
latter and the Serasker-so fatal. that they
cannot come into any system of offensive op-
eratons. The old rumor Is renewed, that
the Porte, alarmed on the one hand on ac.
count OF this long procrastinated controver.
sy, and jealous OF the fidelity of Ibrahm Pa.
cha on the other, had endeavored to enter
into separate negotiation with the Greeks
to which it may be added also. and as a still
further inducemcnt, his horror of the Rus.
sian power since the death of Alexander,
and his apprehension for the safety of Con.
stantinople. We see no reason whatever, TO
despair of the success of the Crecian cause.
The London Literary Gazette contains the
following history of the Greek Loan in Eng
land.
"a loan of two millions was contracted
for--that is to say, something about R1 100.
900 was subscribed, for which Greece was
to pay two millions. And how much might
have been done, had this sum been exped-
tiously, wisely and honestly furnished to
