GREECE. Letters from Corfu say that
the French troops, still in the Morea, have
instructions not to leave the fortress which
they occupy till further ORDERS 1t is also
said that the French squadron under Admi-
raj Rosamel Is expected in the Gulf of Lee
pahto. 1t is inferred here from these ac-
counts, that an agreement between the
Porte and the Allied Powers is not so near
as was supposed. The Greeks are still
very active, both by sea and land, and are
endeavoring formally to organize the insur-
rection in Livadia. The pecuniary resour-
ces of the Greeks are said to he decreasing,
and Count d'Istria to be thinking of means
, to obtain fresh funds. 1t is said that a
company of Italian merchants is willing to
advance money to the Greek Government
as security the latter offers lands in the
, Morea. This seems to be the more accep-
table as the Morea is already under the
protection of the Allied Powers, and may
almost be considered as independent. 1t is
even affirmed that Count Capo d'Istria will
go for short time to Naples to negotiate
the affair in person.
The military department of the kingdom
OF Poland Is very active, and the pre- para-
tions in the Roman army for the next cam
paign are prosecuted with great vigor.
A Vienna paper of the 22d Feb contains
extracts from the Greek Bee of the 23,I of
December, in whirh it is stated that the
Greeks, under Ypsilanti, have occupied the
Thermopyle. A letter from Constantine
pie, of the 26th of January, states that this
E movement Is attributed to the advance Of
French agents, who desire that when the
, question of the Greek limits shall come
to he considered finally, the Greeks NAV
have greater extension of territory than
the British Government now appears willing
to assign them.
RUSSIA AND TURKEY. The German pa
pers give accounts Of a successful attack
made by the Turks on the Russian position
at Kouslidgik, at the foot of the Balkan, not
far from Varna. The Turkish troops car
RED the entertainments by storm, and the
/ Russian garrison took refuge in the mosque;
the building was set on fire by the assail-
ants, and all the Russians persisted by the
flames or the sword. The loss in killed
| and prisoners is stated at 900.
The German papers also contain an Off
cla bulletin of the surrender of the fortress
OF Tournoul to the Russian Gen. Langeron,
who, according to the bulletin, in less than
= three weeks caused to the Turks the loss of
| 2 fortresses Kali and Tonrnoul) 90 cannon.
