THEPACKET SHIP CORTES.

Captain Sprague, has arrived this fore
noon, from London, and in addition to our
regular files Of foreign gazettes, we are
specially indebted to Captain s. for re.
gnlar series Of the London Courier to the
evening of the 4th utimo, inclusive. The
news to the same dates has been anticipa-
ted by arrivals both from London and iIa-
vre. A few items only of intelligence
from Greece, are all that have previously
escaped our observation. These omissions
we now supply.
II appears, by an article in the .45eiRe
Grecqae of Jolly 70. s. that the new Aus
trion Admiral, Dandolo, is not inferior to
his predecessor Paulucci, in hatred Of the
Greeks. Intelligence reached Nnpoli on
the llth of August, that Lord Cochrane
had captured corvette, and schooner,
in the waters of Zante, but Of this wo have
heard halfa dozen times before. The de.
tails were not known out the fact was
considered certain. His Lordship's schoon-
er, the Unicorn, had not returned to Zan-
re from Marseilles.
His Lordship isorganizng r"gulsrt troops
in the island Of Syra, under the command
Of Col. Urquhart, who is assisted in the or.
gnni2ation by CAPT. Bannister, an English
officer ofmert, and who distinguished him
self greatly at Athens. The number a.
mounts to $50, ans! they will be employed
a. marines. His Lordship's task is by no
means an easy one. He has every Difficult
~ 20 contend with, and the non-arrival Of
the steam vessels is calculated TO defeat all
his views.
The news that the Ambassadors of the
three great powers at Coustantinople were
vigorously endeavoring 10 bring about
mediation, and that an armistice would
probably soon be declared, had made ma
ny Greeks most anxious 10 avail themselves
of the short time which perhaps remained,
in order 10 send forces into different parts
of Greece, from the idea that those places
where there were no armes or troops,
would be irrevocably lost.
The Legislative Body has published a
Decree, declaring Fabvicr no longer in
the Greek service, in the event Of his not
submitting to the orders ofGeneral Church.
This decision has been sent to Colonel
Fabvier, but his answer was received at
the date Of these adviccs. He grounds
his opposition, il seems, to the Commander
in.Chief, on the fact of his having been ap-
appointed sole Chief Of the regular troops
formed by himself A subsequent decree
of another National Assembly, by appoint.
ing one military leader superior to all the
Chiefs Of Greece, placed him also under
General Church's command.

A letter from Washington, dated Nov. 1G,
received by the editor of the Portland Pa
triot, says -
understand that convention has been
agreed to between our minister and the
British Government, embracing a state
ment Of facts in regard 10 our North Eas.
tern Boundary, but no empire in the case
has yet been designated. and it may well
be feared whether any European sover-
eign will consent TO act ns such. Hence,
although the subject has not for moment
been neglected by our government, we
have but little encouragement 10 expect an
immediate termination of the difficulties
growing out OF it,"

street but the sound OIL the hammer The
buildings appear to be designed chiefly
for temporary purposes, and such as can
be removed without much expense, should
IL be required. Exclusive Of these, how
ever, several valuable and durable stores
have been commenced. In Dauphin- str ct.
the foundations of two brick stores are laid
by M. Durand, and one by c. g. A. Bare

large brick store, and one or two others
are in contemplation. II would be de ra
