Letters ofthe 9Th ult from Corfu, announce, that
the Greeks having made themselves masters Of the
castlethat defends the Gulf of Lepanto on tho side
OF Western Greece, the fortress Of Lepanto, which
was IN possession of the Turks, was treating for its
surrender. ".rhe Greeks are ut present." say the
letters, inastcrs of nearly all the country lying be-
tween the Gulf of Aria, near Corfu and the Gulf Of
soio, IN the Archipelago. Along this line there arc
no important points except Mssolonghi, Lavadia and
Athens. The Turks who occupy them will be una
oe 70 maintain their ground long on account OF tho
want OF provisions, and the difficulty ofreceiving
cour. Thus the Greeks will. ere long, have made
the conquest Of all the countries destined to form
part OF the new State of Greece, pursuance
oil the late resolutions of the Allied Powers. The
tract OF country comprehcnded between the Isthmus
Oh Corlnth aud the line of Voo and Arta is Of
tent nearly equal TO tho whole Of the Pcloponesus,
which was ut first intended to coniine free Greece"
TURkEv.--C0nstGntinopte, 18th .aprit.-The scar
Nevertheless small quantity of wheat has arrived by
the way OF the Black sea. The government has pro-
hibitcd monopoly of the supply und happy effects
were expected from the measure.
There is longer any doubt here that the Pcrsians
VIII not take up against the Russians, since
assassination Of the Russians Ambassador at Theran.
Consiaatinopie, Goth yIarch.-A Turkish squadron,
composed of five vessels the line. two rigates, the
corvctes, and two briggs, yesterday left this port and
anchored ut ByuedcFe. They wait the arrival 10 day
or 10 morrow OF two corvettes and two fire vesscls
When these renforcements arrive the squadron will
sai Tor the Black Sea. Its exact destination is not
known. and such has been the determination of the
government that its secret should not be known, that
during month past it has refused rmans to vessels
hound 10 TINT quarter. Among the numerous concc-
lures, the most probable that the expedition be
directed against Burgess 10 prevent tho disembarka
tion OF the Russians, which has taken place at Size
pol.
The Captain Pacha will command this fleet in per-
son. From his intrepid character some great step
may he expected. The Grand yzicr is not yet at
ms post, although he knows that hostities common
ced some DAYS since. Tins the commander in chief
IS at present Had Pachc; this young man has some
analogy with the Hebrew Joseph, sold by his breth-
rem; he has been bought by the Seraser Ker.en Pa.
cha grand admiral, and has had promotion bril-
liant and SO rapid that he finds himself at the age of
twenty-four, Pncha of three tails grand Seraskier,
and what Is still more surprising, nflinnccd to the
beautiful princess Satra, daughter of the Grand
Seigncur
We have received news of the assassination of the
Russian Anlba sador, and Of all the members of the
Legation ut Tehcran Persia. IL may be supposed
that under the circumstances, this causes greut
dlsconen;ment anu gives birth TO the hope of a new
war between Russia and Persia-a war which will
make a.poweriul diversion in favor Of tho Turkish
army.
From the Gazette dc Fsnee1
SCme foreign papers have published mn article inn
putting to the powers OF Europe declaration made
10 Don Miguel, "that he must with his mother, quit
Portugal and renounce all preten,ions to the throne
ard that if he would thus consent retire without
opposition, suitable provision should be guaranteed
10 him and his mother" This is merely an annun-
citation of the faction that seeks rcvolutionzo Por
tugal anew. We arc enabled TO state in the most
formal and positive that there one word
of truth in il.
The minister of Marine presented his Budget TO
the chamber of Deputies the 7th of May. In the
course of his remarks, he said-''The condition of
our armament fixed by the Budget of 827 and
1928 at i26 vessels. Afterwards in conseuue of
the blockade of Agers and the Treaty of the 9th of
July, my predecessor found it necessary TO augment
the number to I70. If even this state of things had
continued, ! should NOW only have been obliged to
ask for an extraordinary appreciation of IL or 70 mil
lions. But other events followed, and the Marine
was again obliged to be augmented by the equip
nent OF 81 other vessels of which ships of the
line, and IL were frigates. These events were, the
expedition to the Morea, the evacuation of Cadiz,
the pursuit OF the pirates and watching them in their
places OF resort, the sending Of fleet 10 Brazil the
oxccrabie traffic in slaves station, and finally
other political considerations" The following arc
amopg the items TO be provided for.

"Gcntlemen, you understand the expense" said
the Minister, land you know how to appreciate it,
Yousee what has been the of an expedition which
the VOWS of all Christian Europe demended and
which il appertaned TO the most Christian King to
undertake."
The Nuremburg Correspondent INSERTS, that
Count Suchtccm's mission to Sweden has a polit-
cal object connected with an arrangement amongst
the Northern Powers, to which Sweden was not much
disposed to accede, but in which it would probably
join on further considering its real interests.
SPAIN.-The king of Spain consented, in con-
fornty with the wish expressed by the Consulate of
Cadiz. that the late ordinance making that free
port should 60 into effect on the 30lh of May the es
tival of st Ferdinand. II appears that the cler-
gy who opposed the measure met with very little en-
enlargement and very bad success. The Archbish-
op Of Cadz in an address to the king against IT, inn
prudently rendered his resignation in case that his
majesty should not yield. The king, with more per-
tinacity than he usually exhibits in favor Of good
thing, proved immovcabc; and after q consultation
