whence she sailed on the 28th April. Wy this
arrival. the editors of the New-York CONNER

of the evening OF April 22d-three days later

to the editors Of the Boston Gazette, and Pa

TIE GREEK WAR.--We rejoice 10 say
that the news of the fall OF Missolengh was
premature. Notwithstanding the particularly
with which il was giveR, and there was reason
70 believe that that fortress had not surrender

upon the authority of letters from Corfu OF the
25,h and 26th of March, that the garrison OF
Mis,olonghi still held out The same letters

an the London papers, on the authority OF a let

c,reece. aud in consequence, for the observance
Of neutrality, France would not allow OF open
combinations for the Greeks. We hcfe this in.
teligence may prove true, but the hope is a
very feeble one
There is much difficulty in reconciling these
conflicting accounts, arising from the confusion
Of dates, For instance, the Corfu dates are
after the new style, and the Greek dates the
old. According TO our account from tile Gulf
of Iepanto, Mssolonghi tell on the 10th of
March o. S. or the 21st OF March " s.; and
our Ia est accounts now, are from Corfu, March
Cd. MS The gu estion then arises, might not

is hardly 20 be expected, however, that Lord
Liverpool! would have spoken so positively, up |
on vague information; but after this compsr. |
son of dates, we confess that we cannot find |
apv positive authority for the contradiction. |
Again: Under date of Corfu, March 90, we |
find an article which describes lbrshlm Pacha |

on Missolonghi from different quarters, and |
with every prospect of success. Now this pre-
narration evidently alludes to the exertions which
were said BY our last accounts, to have prece.
,led the last and fat al assault of the Turks. We
trust, however, that all win prove as we could
wish.
The following paragraph, also dated Corfu,
March Esd, bears too strong resemblance to
mann act,aed news for US TO place much reli-
ance upon it:
"Greece is stated to be in great danger, but
IL is mentioned that the Lord High Commits
soner CT the Ionian Islands had acted in such
manner as TO create an impression that he had
received Instructions TO prevent Missolonghi
from falling into the hands of the Turks. Rus ,

added, that Sir Frederick Adam had required
that the operations against NissoIohghi should
be suspended as he understood an order TO
conclude an armistice If NOT already received,

this Ibrahim Pachs objected, on account Of the
sacrifices which had been made by the Porte
Sir F. Adam is represented to have replied,
that if he did not yield with good grace, to
the common wish of the Alhes, submission
would be compelled.
Great B,itain.--On the 10th it was annoan-
ced that a good deal was doing, both IN British
and foreign money markets, attended WIN an
advance in almost every description OF securi-
ties. Blu, there was a decline on the god For
particulars, the reader is referred to our ex.
tracts below. An express from PARIS on the
ooh. announced that the rench funds had de-
Clined about 10 cents.
1t was expected that the dissolution of Par.
hament would take place some time from the |
middle of May, to the second week IN June, |

Serious disturbances have taken place at !
Blackburn among the iaborhg classes An
immense number Of persons attacked the pow
er.loom of Mcssrs. Sykes, and completely de-
molished the windows. One of the market
coaches was assaied with voliey OF stones,
which very much damaged the vehicle, and Sc
rIousy injured several manufacturers. IwU
parties of soldiers were ordered out, and tran.
guilty finally restored. At a meeting OF master
manufacturers it was resolved to raise the wages
of their workmen as far as their means will
admit ~
The Blackburn mail states, that as medical
gentleman was returning, on horseback, from
the neighborhood of Brlndle, he was attacked
by three men, one Of whom seized the reins OF
his horse, and begged him to give him one
shilling, as himself, his wife and FIVE children
were entirely Starving for want OF food-the
gentleman enquired who the other two men
we're, and he was informed that they were in
the same situation--upon which he kindly gave
each of them shilling, and they went peace
ably away.
We copy the following paragraph from the
Globe of April %:
The continental journalists, Who have the
talent OF making much out of nothing, draw
important conclusions from the fact that the
Duke of Wellington was sent there on spe-
cal mission, ayowedly to compliment ne En-
peror on his accession; and If on the same oc.
casion, any propositions were to DC mace, there
is nothing surprising it they have been already
