FROM SMYRNA.

A letter from Smyrna, April 1s, per Gag elle, says: 1.-The last news from Athens was, that Gen. Karaiskaki had arrived at the camp of Phaleris, to it's relief, but was too weak to attack the Bashaw, who is about 15,000 strong. Itis generally feared the citadel must fall, as it is said black flag was flying upon it. Col. Fabyicr commands it, and it is well known that no quarter will be given, even if surrendered, the garrison may make a despe- rate sortie, simultaneously with an attack from Karaiskaki upon the land side.
 The Turks are making their utmost efforts to send large force into the MOrea, this cam paign but it is evident they grow weaker every year, and should the Greek Revolution last seven gears longer, it will ruin the Turkish Empire. The Porte will notlisten to the interference of any foreign powers. They say the Greeks are their subjects, and they will grant them no terms whatever, but will have their com plete submission. The Greeks, therefore, have no choice--they will be destroyed either way, unless some effort is made this campaign of which the arrival of Lord Cochrane and Gen. Church give some kind of probability.

Ii is supposed. that, at the lowest calculation 80, 900 Turks have been beheaded or exiled, and new executions are daily taking place----the most trivial supposition of discontent is im- mediately punished with death. Such is the strict police was examined, not only at eve- ry coffee house on the road, but in getting in- to Constantiaople underwent three different examinations, and my servant was even more strictly examined.--We saw at the arsenal, 8 100 gun ships, 6 deckers,) 6 74's, SI and a. bout l2 frigates, besides 20 coryettes: The remainder of the Turkish fleet was lying at Dardanelles,9 @ corvettes and two frigates were fitting out to join them. Lord Cochrane,it is said,is fitting out the Greek fleet for some secret expedition some think it may be an attempt on Mytilene. He was received in every part of Greece with great enthusiasm, and his movements will be viewed with great interest" LONDON. May %. The Greek Government has published the following declaration of Admiral Miaulis, relative to the chief command of the Naval Force which has been given to Lord Coch- l rane.
 "Chiers of the Governmental come hith- CT according to the orders which have re- ceived, and expect new ones; but I first think it my dutyto express to the Superior Government my thoughts, my resentmeuts, and my desires, that it may be able to judge of me and my intentions For these seven wears. have combated, without any inter- ruption, along with my brethren. and with all my force, against the enemy of our country.
