FOREIGN INI,ELLIGENCE.

FROM GREECE,--We have advices from
Smyrna to the LIST Dec. and from CONSTANT
nople to the 18th. The Greeks who had made
an excursion into Attica, have returned to Sa-
lamis, where the Palicari have plundered the
| unhappy fugitives. Fabvier has retired to
Methana with 500 men. The whole country
suffers by famine, and the Seraskier has also
raised the siege of Athens, and fallen back to
Salma, to get provisions, of which he was
destitute at Athens. But these movements
have been effected very peHceably, and for
the present the siege is raised. Such are the
chances and alternatives in this year, nothing
advances or retrogades. Happily, if good
deal of powder is consumed, but very few
men have been. killed for some time past in
spite of the accounts of battles published in
the European Journals. by dint of parodying
the bulletins of time which is past, the pet
ty affairs Of the present time will be rendered
ridiculous.
The Captain Pacha arrived at the Dardan-
Giles on the Goth of November, where his fleet
has since been laid up for the winter. On
the 9th Nov. the Grand Vizier went on board
the fleet, accompanied by several instructors
of the troops of the line. He visited every
ship and viewed the troops. The Captain
Pacha then gave orders that nobody should
leave the fleet and nobody should have access
to it. On the following day, many of the
marine soldiers were arrested and executed.
On the 9th the Captain Pacha landed with
all the troops in the port Of the capital, and
the fleet was Immediately dismantled. On
the 1st of Dec. an Imperial Firman appeared,
abolishing the penalty ofconfscatiOn through
out the Ottoman Empire. 1t was accompa-
MED by regulations "a. the inheritance of the
Mahomedan and other subjects, which are IA
vorable to them.
Advices from Smyrna received at Constan-
tinople, state that the Egyptian fleet sailed
from Alexandria on the lGth Nov. 1t con-
ships and eight steamboats,. 1t had no
troops on board, but great supply of militia
ry stores of all kinds, and one and half mil
lion of piastres for Ibrahm Pacha. 1t arrived
at Navarin on the 18th Dec. and was visited
by Ibrahm Pacha. We learn from Greece
that Redchid Pacha had raised the siege of
Athens. The Courier du Leman of the Sd of
January has a letter from Alexandria of the
SOth Dec. (this date is evidently errOneous,)
which announces that Ibrahim Pacha with
his whole army, was expected to arrive short
" in that city, as he was to embark at Modon
on board the fleet which had Just arrived
there.
Some days before the Egyptian fleet sailed
from Alexandria, the Aurora transport which
had accoutrements for six thousand men, was
burnt in the port. The viceroy Immediately
sent orders to Cairo TO repair the loss. and
received an answer in two hours. Many of
the Fellahs of the DeltO, of whom it is intend
ed to make sailors, have embarked on board
the feet.
A conspiracy, having for its object to give
up Col. Fabvier, and the foreign officers, has
tailed, as well as some other operations. Red
child Pscha has also sustained considerable
loss,
The Greek Deputies had assembled in the
island Of P"ros; they have now gone TO Eg-
