da. did not reach us till yesterday. After
perusal OF its contents, we have made several
extracts, which will give our readers fuller
account than heretofore OF the position and
bearing of the different European powers, and
particularly the state OF Greece
Greece.-The news from Greece begins again
to be highly interesting. Several important
advantages have lately been gained 10 the cause
of independence. The siege OF Missolonghi 1t
is already known, was finally abandoned in the
middle Of October, and Karalskaki had subse-
ouently attacked the Turkish encampment In
that neighborhood, with brilliant success, and
carried off rich booty and many prisoners
Bv the German papers it appears that the
Turkish commanders had quarrelled, and that
Jussuff Pacha had been disgraced for not pro-
perly supporting the Seraskier, Redschid Pa
cha. Meanwhile victory attended every enter
prise of the patriots General Gouras, with
some others under the orders Of Constantine
Bozzaris, having resolved to drive the Turks
out Of Salona, attacked them in their quarters,
and, after killing great number OF them, com
nelled their advanced posts to take flight, leav-
ing in the hands of the Greeks all their artil-
lery, munitions of war, and baggage. This a
chievement recovered Salona and its inhabi-
tants were returning to their dwellings. This
event had excited the enthusiasm OF the Greek
population, and, under these circumstances, the
military chiefs Of Missoonghi had resolved to
send for such assistance as would enable Boz
zaris and .Gouras 10 attack the camp OF Reds
child Pacha on every side at once, and destroy
it. The troops required had been furnished
and were proceeding to join their comrades
when the last advices came from Missolonghi.
In the Peloponessus nothing had taken place
since the arrival Of the Egyptian fleet. Every
precauton had been adopted by the Greek
Government in defence Of the public safety
HYDRA, Spezza and Psara had been fortified,
and the people Of Gambia had been supplied
with every thing necessary TO their mainten-
ance against the enemy. The regularly dis
ciplined regiment fol- med at Napoli di Roma
MIA as increasing daily, and Colonel Fabver
was organizing another regiment at Athens
At Gastouni regular body OF cavalry was
forming under the directions ofthe Neapoitan
General Rosarol. The Greek General Suhni
had enrolled himself in the regular army, and
all the pre- iudices at first so strongly ielt a
gainst the introduction of regular discipline,
were at last disappearing: the success OF the
Egyptian force under Ibrahim Pacha having
quite convinced the Greeks Of the necessity of
conforming to the advice of their military
friends The government have lately manifest
ed great jealousy of the French officers who
were assisting them. The intimacy subsisting
between the French government and the Pacha
Of Egypt has probably led to this feeling
From whatever cause, however, 1t may have
arisen, it is carried to an extreme length. Gen
Roche and all the other Frenchmen were sud-
denly dismissed, and 1t. Colonel Arnault, who
had lust arrived with twenty artierists and all
the materials of cannon foundry, had suffer
ed the modification of having his services re-
jected.
Most of the letters from the sea coast notice
a great fall of snow, with thick and foggy wea-
ther
The trade of Riga has been very brisk this
year. The exports exceeded, by millions, and
the imports b, 1900 900 rubles, those OF the
former year Up to the beginning OF Novem'
Der considerably more than 1000 merchant YES
sells had visited the port. From an official
statement it would appear, that ne less than s.
100, o2o pools oftaow had been exported from
Russia during the current year.
The King Of Sweden has ordered the pur-
chase of steam packets for the service OF the
post Office.
The court mourning, on the occasion Of the
death of The Emperor of Russia, commenced
on Sunday last, and will continue ill the ed
instant
The bank directors are already reapiDg the
fruits Of their system Of liberality: the number
of new accounts opened at that establishment,
in preference to keeping cash with private
t4rkers, is exec edingly great, and, we under
stand, new facilities, as to checks Tor small
sums, are now given. In consequence Of
of this great accumulation of business, and the
issuing of the one and two pound notes, the Di-
rectors have found it necessary to engage a
great number Of new clerks. Nearly eightyI
have already been employed and, we under
stand, the number must still be augmented
The Directors oil the Bank have published the
names of 81 gentlemen who are empowered 10
sign the II. and 81 notes. On the new Scotch |
national bank note the words zone pound" are
engraved 1900 times, thus rendering the sue
cess of forgery difficult, if not impossible.
CORN LAWS
The agriculturalists, in the county of Lin |
coin and some other places, are preparing to
petition Parliament against anticipated mea-
sures Of Ministers, as TO the trade in corn, and
the anticipated efforts of those Of their fellow |
subjects, who think that the principles Of free
trade ought, at least, to be carried somewhat
further into this department than will be agree
