BRITISH PRESS.] The Greek cause, :which has been so many times on the .brink of destruction, will again, in alVprobability, be rescued from danger, and, perhaps, at the moment when success appeared the least to be expected, it may be crowned with .triumph. 'The accession of the Emperor Constantine is an eventof the greatest importance to the Creeks at the present crisis of their struggle. From his infancy his views have been directed to that quarter. Latterly the pacific policy of the &TOljr Alliance, of which his brother Alexander iivrts,''the author, -deprived him of all reasonable -hope of gratifying his.ambition of founding afresh ;the Christian -Empire of the East. Ile is now ,suddenly released from this restraint, and invested with absolute. power to carry into execution :the projects which were instilled into his child'hood,and which it is known he.has ever since ,warmly cherished. There can be no doubt, -therefore, that, with a rough and ardent temper like his, he will, -as soon as he feels himself -lirmly seated on 'the Imperial Throne, turn his "eyes -towards Constantinople. The insurrection of the Greeks, . the most favourable circumstances he -could. desire in case of , hostilities with the Tnrkish Government, was apparently so •noarly quelled, that- unless he manifested his de'-s4fns at an early period, there vas much reason to -apprehend that,he would lose the important benofit's he-might derive from the aid and co-operation of the Greeks. We have therefore been looking,to every arrival from the .East during the last two or. three 'days, .for some indication.,of the feelings of the. new Emperor with regard, to the Sublime Porte. It appears by the German Papers received yesterday„,that M: Von. I\'linziacky, the " Russian Ministers delivered a note to the Reis EfFendi• on the .47th of November, complaining that-the Beschli Agas, after leaving the' Princi.  palittes of Moldavia and Wallachia, had shortly afterwards returned, and committed dreadful excesses. M. de Minziacky communicated a copy of his remonstrances to the other Christian Ministers, from whom it was believed strong representations would be made to the Divan as to the necessity of acting with good faith in respect of the evacuation of the principalities, and a strict adherence to the other provisions of the treaty of Bucharest. The Porte, it is evident, was alarmed at the approach of the Emperor Alexander, and had probably sent public orders to the Beschli Agas, accompanied by secret instructions of an opposite character. The Emperor Constantine will have no lack of pretences for any measures to which he may be disposed to have recourse, and as the notes of M. de Minziacky will very opportunely warrant him in assuming a harsher tone than R,ussia has for many years held towards Turkey, he will only have at once to denounce the perfidy of the Mussultnans. and pour upon their enfeebled and distracted empire the overwhelming tide of his enthusiastic army. Some changes, it is stated, have lately taken place in the Turkish Cabinet. The Grand Mufti was dismissed on the 28th ult., but it was doubtful whether his removal was connected with any question of public policy. The _ news from Greece through Constantinople wasall of the most unfavourable nature. The fleet of the Capital) Pacha, it was alleged, had succeeded in revictualling Patras and Lepanto previously to its sailing for Missolonghi, against which the whole force of the Mahometans, both naval and military, was directed. The garrison, however, were undaunted, and resolved to perish under its ruins, rather than suffer it to fall into the hands of its barbarian besiegers. That this is no vain boast, the history of the first defence of Missolonghi would if necessary attest. The Samiotes who had disembarked in Candia, have, it is said, been defeated by- the Turks, who made a sally from the fortresses, and " killed them all." To this extravagant story is appended a report of a mutiny in Napoli di Romania, in which three 'members of the Government had been murdered. We give no credence whatever to these vague and unauthorised statements. We learn, however, from them that the Greeks had lost no further ground, and would he able to maintain the contest until the probable interference of the Ern.peror Constantine would deliver them from their perilous condition., The arrival of Lord Cochrane would also take place about the. same time, and the influence of his name would alone work wonders, even should Russia, contrary to all present expectation, adhere to the pacific policy of the late reign.
