These measures, they say, were in con.
sequence of the orders given by the AIN
bassadors at Vourla, for the Consuls tc
take down their flags and arns,and to leave
their functions by the 18th of January.
Many executions are said 20 have taker
place at Constantinople, and one of the
most eminent Greek merchants Of the
name Of Raill had been strangled.
Taken by themselves, and divested o
the comment which accompanied the origi-
nal statement from Vienna, the foregoing
extract would look quite warlike. But the
following commentary is subjoined by The
Vienna editor -
cit is evident that these reports are in
need Of confirmation; for though the Turk

January, is not yet arrived, so important a
piece Of intelligence would certainly have
been communicated by express"
And again =" Probably these accounts
are only an exaggeration Of those we have
already received, ofthe agreement conclu-
dcd between the Porte, and some Sardin
ian merchants, for the supply Of tho cap-
tai, and OF the protection which it has pro-
missed to the subjects even of the three Al
lied Powers, who continue to conduct
themselves in peaceable manner after the
departure ofther Ambassadors"

pacific. Information has been received in
London, from Vienna, the credit OF which
is not questioned, of the Emperor of Aus.

.1rrird Of Lori Cochrase IN England
The Hampshire Telegraph states that Lord
Cochrare arrived in his private schooner,
the Unicorn, from Poros, Zone Of the Gre
clan isles in the Archipelago,) in % days.
His reason for returning he asserts to be,
that the Turks have not single ship Of a.
ny description on the sea, and that there
fore the Greeks no longer require his aid.
The Helhs frigate and the coryettcs had
been laid up a, Hydra; the smaller vessels
fthe Greek navy are cruising for the sup
preston of piracy. Lord Cochrane thinks
that piracy can be eifectually suppressed
but in two ways /; either the active use OF
well appointed steamboats,, or an induce
ment held out to the Greeks who engage
in this petty but destructive warfare, by a
regular and firm Government, to obtain q
( subsistence by honest and industrious ex.
ertions. He states that the Egyptians are
retiring frcm the contest in the Morea with
all possible celebrity. Soon after the battle
Of Navarin, they commenced collecting al

by Turkish cruelty, is now continued by
necessity, and the establishment ofa better
government and order Of things in Greece
is the best cure for it. His Lordship has
expressed his willingness to return to
