According to the Courier, the PrussiaD
Minister at the Porte, has been recalled, 70
afford explanations relative 10 his embassy.
"This STEP" says the Morning Herald,
"has occasioned some loose speculation,
respecting the part that Russia Will take
in the event of a rupture between the TWO
Powers. According 10 this account, winch
is given under the head of Frankfort on the
Oder, the Court of Berlin has already come
to the deiinitive resolution of connecting
its interests with those Of the Russian
Cabinet. In proof Of this assertion. the
appointment of a new Prussian Ambassa
dor to the Porte is adduced whereas, to
US, it appears capable of very different
Interpretation and we look at 1t as an IN
dicaton of desire rather friendly to peace
than otherwise. If the King OF Prussia
were TO make common cOuse with his I'm
perial son-in-law, IN a war against Turkey,
he would act the part, without even re-
ceiving the share, OF the jackal, whereas
his obvious interests, as well as those OF
his'klngdom, prescribe to hlm very differ
ent course. Prussia may, on account of
the matrimonial alliance between The two
Powers, check her jealousy of Russian am
bitlon, but II is quite pIeposterous to sup
pose that she will be Instrumental at the
expense of her own and the general secur-
ity."
The Greeks and Turks--The papers be-
fore US contain advlces from Constantine
pie to the 18th OF March. They announce
the arrival that morniag Of courier, who
had left Smyrna OH the 18th. with the news
of the total defeat of the Greeks who had
landed at Scio. II is said that
"The squadron under the command OF
Tahir Pacha, composed of a fngate, two
corvettes, and four briggs, with 1900 troops
on board, which quilted the Dardanelles
on the 5th, had arrived, in the night of the
| lth, in the channel of Scio, where it had
surprised three Greek vessels, two of which
were taken, and the third sunk that then

Castle, and forced the insurgents, with
their Chief Fabvier,l to speedy flight al

that they embarked with all speed in the

gcen generally discredted, is now placed
beyond any doybt whilst it it will induce
some persons, and those not the worst in

toucb to learn before'they can equal their
enemies either in courage or skill.
The Courier says--"We should be glad
20 receive more detailed accounts from
Greece than have yet been sent 70 this
country because we wish TO find the Greeks
making every eXertlon To raise land force
capable Of acting against the Turks, and
forcing them to evac uate their territory.
Much may be done by the Allied Powers,
| but much also must be and can only be
done by themselves. lbrahim Pacha seems
! to have renamed altogether unmoested.
He proceeds from one point to another,and
trayorsing the Morea from west to east,
DESTROYS towns without obstacle or resis
tance. The Armstice has for time put
an end to hostile operations in that quar-

1t is stated in the Augsburgh Gazette,
| that Ibrahim Pacha has been summoned
by the Lord High Commissioner to evaeu
ate the Morea, but thut he has refused ev.
cry proposal of this nature. Count Cape
d'Istria, on the contrary,is said to have de
clorcd that he would hinder Ibrahm from
leaving tho Morea, till he had delivered ant

duced to slavery.
