In relation TO the intentions of Turkey towards
greece, and the prospects of that people and their
powerful protectors, the French, being brought into
direct collision with the Ottomans the ensuing sea
son, the accounts we receive from various sources
Through the European papers, calculated to leave
US in some uncertainty. On the one hand the ire
sisble progress Of the French and the necessity of
withdrawing many of the Turkish troops from the
south oppose the Russians wohld lead us TO expect
the BOUNDARIES OF Greece To be settled accor-
ding To the pleasure of the Allies; but on the other
the Sultan seems resolved to reject all TERMS and the
Divan Us stated IN accounts from SMYRNA, to have
called Re,sind Pacha to CONSTITUENCIES to form
plan OF campaign against the Morca, Of which the
Following Is said TO be tho outlinc--to send 30 900
Aibanans ththcr in the spring. supported by 10 600
Macedonian Turks disciplined after the modern sys-
TEN, under the command of Omcr Pacha This ap-
pears IN our opinion extremely improbable, as well as
the account given in the same paper of the dscour-
agement produced among the Continental Greeks by
the success Of the Pacha of Negropont against the
insurgents of Mount Polion aud the report that tho
'ceroy OF Egypt designs To- defend Gambia to the last
extremity, and to garrison Cyprus, Rhodes Cos Chi
os and even Smyrna, 10 which last place il said he
VIII send lbrahm Pacha TO establish his head quar-
ters.
In the mean time, that portion Of Greece which is
under the immediate protection of the Allies enjoys
state of tranquility, and respite from the horrors
OF war, which are employed by the President for the
establishment law and order, and the introduction
ofthr arts of peace. The talents, education aud ex-
sccc OF Capo dstrias, with the enlightened poll
cy hs has adopted, promise the highest bene-
fits To his country He preserves the most perfect har
mony with the powerful states of Europe a good
understanding with which is essential and at the
same time has entered with zea and efficiency into
the raising and permanent organizing of army, the
regulation OF the marine in such manner as 10 sun
press piracy, besides the establishment of system of
education, as far as the impoverished stute of the
Country will permit, ana chcerulv affords every ac-
hty and encouragement i'll his power to the exertions
OF MIR. King, and the other gentlemen sent from this
Country and Great Britain for the establishment Of
schools.
1t Is probable that a.. French will not be forward

lily, at least while the result of the Rus

NINE TO pursue their operations, Immediately beyond
the Morea, we shall probably hear of their in
vestng Athens, which the Turks are said TO have
lately placed In strong posture of defence; and we
cannot doubt that they would he able shortly to get
possession ofthe northern provinces almost far as
they should choose to 90.
In the mean time, however, the Greek troops are
not prevented from making important conauests i'm
advance OF the French whittier they have been nvi-
ted by the Instructions of their countrvmen The
brother OF Grivas has taken possession of the gulf of
Prevesa and & small Turkish vessels Gen. Church
has secured another important point; and Ypslanti

while the government have prepared strong expedi-

Spain and France.-If we AZ. to place full credit
IN some Of our late Paris papers, the cabinets ofthese
two countries have lately been the point of rupt-
ure Ii IS stated that the French minister's pressing
tho claims Ferdinand for the payment of their ar

any thing due to France. He claimed to have an
account which had not been settled since the period
ef the North American Revolutions and il was not
until the ministers threatened to break off nepoia-
tons, and 10 demand their passports, that he con
sented to acknowledge the debt of 80 millions of
francs.
