Pacha before Missolonghi. The latest
account we find, is the following, from
the Journal du Commerce OF the first OF
April.
The packet from Corfu, arrived al
Trieste with letters TO the 9Th March,
brings details OF the repulses given on
the I'd March before Mlssolonghi to
lbrahim. The inhabitants summoned
to surrender. refused every sortoi capitu-
lation. The 2Slh Feb. their priests ad-
minislercd to them the communion, and
the enthusiasm OF all was at Its height
lbrahlm having attacked them by SEQ
and land, was repulsed on all sides, and
| lost between four and five thousand men.
| This defeat caused the breaking up Of
his army. He himself had retired TO
Paras, after despatchiug his KlaJa Boy
into Albania, to raise fresh recruits.
Another important piece OF intelli-
gence was received by this Packet. IL
is affirmed that the Greek cruisers hay-
ing boarded the vessels under the Eng
lish flag bound from Alexandria to the
| Morea, and found in them property be-
| longing 10 the Turks, captured the whole.
The Captains complained to the Lord
| High Commissioner oil the Ionian Isles,
VINO refused to listen to their complaints,
saying they brought the difficulty on
themselves.
Marseiles offers at this moment sim
gular appearance. There are to be seen
there at one and the same time, French
men who are sacrificing every thing to
Join Colonel Fabre, in defence of Greece,
and other Frenchmen who propltiate the
smiles OF the great men oil the day, by
enlis.ing for the Turks under M. de Liy
ron. A convoy OF these latter are TO sail
IN few days.
The French government is roundly
charged both in the papers, and on the
floor of the House of Deputies, with ia
voring the enlistment OF French officers
and men in the Turkish service. This,
however, is denied by the government,
and to a statement made in his place, by
Mr.. B. Constant, that the Egyptian trea.
sure had been carried from Alexandra
10 the Morea on board French national
vessel, without the officers being called
TO account for it, M. de Villele replied,
that so lar was this from the tact, that not
only the officer commanding the vessel
had for that offence alone been struck
from The rolls OF the navy, but The adml-
raj commanding the station bad, IN con-
sequence been recalled. 1t appears Ger.
tain. however, that both Greeks and
Turks are enlisting in France.
Madrid, 2osh March.
Last evening some Swiss soldiers, and
some chasseurs OF the Royal Guard,
uuarrelled in the suburb of San Antonio.
The difficulty arose from some complain
about the foreign soldiers, and there is
reason to believe the design was TO as
sassinate all the Swiss, and the liberals
generally. Happily the disturbance was
quelled, though not without bloedshed.
The three chic! officers of the LIST Swiss
regiment were wounded. The COM
mandant of the place, and some officers
oil the I'd regiment were also wounded.
The mob attacked the Swiss with stones,
who, instead of returning fire OF muske-
try, as they might have done, retreated
to their barracks. This forbearance
stimulated the assailants, who pressed
on, saying death to the Swiss, death to
the French" To-Day every thing seems
tranquil. The French Ambassador will
doubtless require satisfaction for this out
rage.
The London Globe, in noticing the
fact, that special dispatches had been
sent down to Lord Ponsopby, who is the
Envoy to the United Provinces Of Buenos
Ayres, detained by head winds at Ply
mouth, observes, "that doubtless great
interest is felt in this mission on account
of the desire of Mr., Canning, to see an
end quito the war between Buenos Ayres
and Brazil, war so injurious TO Eng
lish commerce"
The annexed article concerning the
free navigation of the Rhine, is of i'm
portance to US, who are claiming, on the
same princip les, the free navigation oil
the ST. Lawrence.
The numberless discussions which the
treaties of Paris and Vienna have, for 10
years past, given rise to concerning the
free navigation'of the Rhine, are about to
be terminated. Austria has declared,
that in the treaties Of Vienna and Paris,
it was intended to stpulate the entire
freedom OF the Rhine, and IFS unin,er-
rapted communication with the sea-
England expressed herself in the same
way some years ago at Laybach. Russia
is said to have recently addressed note
