telligence from the Morea, that any rumor from
that quarter, strong enough to hang ahope upon, is
not an unacceptable present According TO an
arrival at Boston from Smyrna, bringing dates to
the 9th Of December, the army of Ibrahim Pacha
amounts to 10000 men, exclusive of the garrisons
of Patras, Modon, Coron, and Navarin, estimated
at 10 900 more. This is Turkish account, and
Of course we must look for all the exaggeration
incident to such statements. With this force it is
said that after the reduction of the fortress Of
Missoonghi, he will cross the Bootia,. invade
Attica, reduce Corintb, Mavoise and Napoli, and
in short the whole Of the Moiea. This is what
Ibrahm Pacha intends to do, after the reduction
of Missolonghi. The Greeks were to be allowed
their own choice either to remain shut up Athens
or to run away to Salams or Egina. Such won
ders was Ibrahim Pacha, according to the prophecy
of the Mahometan prophet, just on the point Of
accomplishing on the 9th December. Time,
however, which is the best umpire 10 decide the
question whether the prophecy be true or false,
has applied his inallible touchstone to this predic
ton. We hear from Corfu as late as the oath of
January, that admiral Maulis, with 20 Hytlriot
vessels, had kept in check for twenty days, the
enemy's fleet, stationed at Patras; that junction
was hourly anticipated-that after this period an
English packet had fallen in with the Greek fleet
after this junction had been formed, consisting of
sxty-seven sail and several fire ships We ara fur
Their informed that Ibrahim Pacha, in attempting
TO force passage by the way of Acrata, was
completely checked and driven back with the loss
of three thousand men. Another corps of E;,yp-
tians, landing at Salena, was repulsed, and COM
PEELED hastily to embark in their ships. Vice adj
niral Sachioris had fallen in with Turkish con-
voy, on the waters of the Child, of twenty trans
ports the Turkish armament escaped and the
conveys were taken. The anticipated attack ON
Nlissolonghi has been made.
In addition to all this, we hear Of fatal divisions

the Seraskier fatal, that they cannot come into
any system of offensive operations The old ru-
mour is renewed, that the Porte, alarmed ON the
one hand on account OF this long proerastinaied
controversy, and jealous of the fidelity of Ibrahim
Pacha on the other, had endeavored TO enter into
separate negotiation with the Greeks; to which il
may be added also, and az a still further induce
ment, his horror of the Russian powe since the
death of Alexander and his apprehension for the
safety OF Consantinople. We see no reason what
ever, to despair of the success of the Grecian
cause. =.
