part of Greece, to assemble and meet at /Ilyi na by the 1st January, 1827, in order that they any dissolve the body composing the |no- visional government, and elect netv members front among the primates and chiefs, the per sons composing the present government, with the exception of one or two, being generally considered unfit for titc situations they hold.— It is certainly much to be lamented, that such as Colorotrnni, who is only distinguished for Ins brutal ferocity and gross ignorance, should be placed at the head of affairs. Zuirnis, the president of the provisional government, is a man of very mediocre talents, possessing no hnowledge of the world, and can speak no lan guage hut his own. On tite other hand, prince Mi tvrocordato, a man of acknowledged talent, a great politician, who has seen a good deal ol the world, and who has made more sacrifices for his country titan any other individual—yet this man is not allowed to have any si tare in it*** 111* ciiciiiSct all miitr in saying that lie is ilte cleverest man in their country. Although IVIavrocordato has not any share in the present government, ho has not been less zealous or active in the service of bis country. I am no advocate of Mavrocor- cinio; but no one can deny thru he is a true friend to his country. I do not hesitate to say, that I really believe, he cares not by wluit means he serves his country, provided lie can do so. I have heard rrnnv dishonorable acts of M ■tvrocordato, and I doubt not that some of them are true; but they were always of a poli tical nature. He is accused of having been privy to the murder of Ulysses (brother-in-law of Trelawnv) and the proofs against him are rather strong. The greatest enmity exists between him and Culocotroni. The latter futitleman is at Cnstti, with a few of his fol lowers. I saw this ferocious savage yesterday, lie refuses to meet the national assembly at .Egina, and staled, that if they wanted his o- pm'ion, they were as well able to come to Cas- tri ns he to go to .Eginn; lie is well aware that it is intended to remove him from ilie govern ment, and to take the command of the army from loin. He is, therefore, making use of every artifice to raise himself a strong party at Castri. lie can no longer place that depend ence on the army that lie could formerly. He was then their idol, and is now their aversion. . Numbers of his own followers have deserted him, and the few that yet remain with him are daily becoming less. These public jealousies ; aro much to he regretted; hut they exist 1 throughout all Greece. The want of unanim- 1 itv is universal. It would be difficult to find two members of the Greek government per- ' feedy agreeing, or who do not most heartily hate each other; and yet they never meet with out kissing one another. You will readily sup pose that these are Judas’ kisses. One would suppose that the common enttse would unite them, but it appears to be quite the reverse.— If you speak to any of the chiefs about the state of their country, they are sure to impute all l their ill success to the want of union, forgetting l that, at the very moment they are complaining * nf it in others, they are condemning themselves; * Jor there is not one of them who docs not sc- • crctly foment those civil broils. However, to • return to our subject—many of the primates 1 end chiefs refuse to meet at .Eginn, and wish *1 the assembly to meet at Napoli. The mem- ' hors of the provisional government are, howe ver, at -/Egina. As soon as they heard of the arrival of the frigate, they sent Miaulis over land to take command of Iter, and bring Iter to iEgina. They were afraid to leavo her at Na- , poli, the Spezziots having threatened to take possession of her for their own admiral. More- I over, a mutiny had broken out among the A- ' merican seamen; they had threatened, on tluilr } way from Malta to Napoli, to murder the cap- J tain and first lieutenant, and then to steer for latter brought povisions, pay and clothes loi Ibrahim’s troops. Although they have now been nearly a month at Navarino, the Greeks have noi yet been able to send a single ship a- gainst them. Fire Spezziot nicn-ol-war brigs actually left Spezzia about a fortnight ago, a- gainst the orders of their admiral, for the sole b r • Tim Iron Pacha an offer for the whole crop of Indigo, which lias been refused. There arc about 10,- 000 bales of cotton in store at Alexandria, for which the Pacha has at last made a price equal sions, destitute of any kind of provisions ex cept fresh beef, and nearly so of clothing.

I h ive since seen the first lieutenant. It appeared from his state ment that eight of tho crew had refused to do any work; of course there was no such thing as law on board such a ship. The captain could not flog them, but he stopped their grog —this produced a great deal of niurmaring, and being joined by most of tho crew, a mutiny ensuoa; fortunately, however, they contented themselves with taking possession of what they wanted. The captain did not, after this, pos< sess any authority over them. The ship arrived on tho l6;h instant at jE f lna, with tho American officers and crew on oard, under the command of admiral Miaulis, The mutinous Americans wore sent on board a Greek man-of-war brig, and senr to Syra t whence they will have no difficulty in returning to their own country. Captain Hamilton; who was at Aigina when the frigate arrived, was in duced, by the particular request of the Greek government, to take the American officers on board the Cambrian, to wait for a passage to Smyrna. As soon as I heard of her arrival at ASginn, I went there io sec her. She is a dou ble banker, carries 68 guns, long thirty-twos on the main deck, and forty-two pound carron- adcs on tho upper deck. Sho is, I believe the largest frigate in the world; she is mot liko an eighty-gun ship, in point of size, than frigate—her tonnage is stated at seventeen hundred tons; there is a large cabin on the main deck, similar to our own frigates, with the gun-room below; thoro are a great number of small cabins on the lower deck; close abaft the mainmast there is a bulkhead put up, which completely separates tho steerage from tho fore part of the lower deck. In the steerage there aro several small cabins. She has plcn ty of room between decks; any person m;r Stand upright on her lower dock; her comple ment is s<x hundred men; at present she lias only two hundred men on board. Miaulis has been made a full admiral, and has hoisted bis flag at the main. Constantine Cunari, the ce lebrated commander of brulots, is appointed captain under Miaulis, It was Canari who blew up the captain pacha’s ship at Scio; lie is a very brave fellow.

Britton, winch arrived this morning, sailed from Liverpool, Fob. Dili. This vessel took the place of the packet ship Panthca, and has brought regular advices to the date of her sailing including Loudon papers and Shipping Lists to the 7th ult. The price of Cotton had declined a fraction at Liverpool. The last papers state, that tho affairs in Por tugal were rapidly approaching to a satisfacto ry conclusion. The rebels, broken and dis persed, were flying in every direction. Their leader, the Marquis de Chaves, has sought re fuge in Spain, anJ the forces had been totally dispersed. A Paris paper of Feb. 4, says—“From tlic details respecting the affair of Coruches, it items that the insurgents engaged amounted to 1,000 men and that of Villa Flor to 7,000 men at most. Tho victory was warmly disput ed during the whole day, but the report of the landing of the English troops, with tho addition, that they had immediately marched for Boira, caused a panic terror in the camp of the Mar quis de Chaves. The officers and command- rs themselves, except Count Camillas were the first to take to flight. The soldiers followed, and a great number ofthcni went to tho enemy. When they reached Almeida, the fugitives were beginning to rally, when almost the whole corps of Magatsi, hearing of tho amnesty pub lished hy tho Regent, went in a body to give themselves up to tho Count de Villa Flor.— Tho remainder wore terrified, and fled to the Spanish Territory, where in a tumultuous as sembly the Marquis do Chaves was deprived of tho ciiief command, which was given to Vis count Montcalogre, who was able to collect hut littlu more 1000 men, with whom lie is said to have re-entered Portugal by Tras-os-Mon- tcs. Tho others hava dispersed, in small de tachments, some of whom h ive doubtless also repassed tho frontiers, ns Chaves and the other chiefs seem to have done.” His Majesty’s sloop Redwing, which has ar rived in England from tho coast of Africa, brings intelligence that captain Clapperton had arrived at the residence of Sultan Soolim at Sachutoo, and had been well received. Dr. Dixon had arrived at Youra, five days journey from tho Soolima country. Captain Clapper- ton would immediately proceed to Tombuctoo, to be there joined bv Dr. Dixon, and they would then make their best way on tho ulteri or objects of their journey. The Liverpool Mercury states, that severe distress existed among the laborers at the Staf ford potteries. The British Parliament assembled on the 8th, and the great topic of interest, was tlte be lief that the corn laws would be taken into im mediate consideration. The Ministers have however, announced that the subject would not be brought forward until the 19th February.— Mr. Canning is to introduce the question to the Commons, nud Lord Liverpool in the House of Lords. Three transports, which had arrived Portsmouth to tuko on board additional troops for Portugal, had been ordered to leavo that port, from which it is inferred that no more troops are to be sent out. [•'ranee.—Letters roteived at Madrid on the 22d of January from Cadiz, stale that the French are about to cvacuuto that place, ami that the national.guard bus already received orders to hold themselves in-readiness to per form a part of tlte duty there. This news is looked upou as premature, but hy no means as false; and moreover, it is cortain that throe re giments of militia and a regiment of infantry of Lusitania have orders to set out for the environs of Cadiz. A Paris paper of Feb. 2d says:—This day the Ministerial paper, the Draneu Blanc, which has been supposed to be in the pay of the es tablishment of Foreign Affairs, announces that it will not appear again.

London-, February 3. Accounts from Batavia to October 9, state that on the 1st of that month, the Dutcli forces under Gen. Van Green, had a battle with the natives, when the former were totally annihila ted, the General only saved his life by a hiding place. He returned to Samarang without a single follower. The battle was fought be tween Solo and Samarang; the greatest con sternation prevailed at the latter place. Pa- lambang was again in the hands of the natives.

Tho Regent has given him a cross worth 120,000 francs. Considerable advances had taken place in the British Funds, Consols have risen about 2 per cent, iu one week. The advance was ow ing, as is slated, lo the great supply of unem ployed capital, .with rather favorable intelli gence from the Peninsula, and large (pecula tions for tho advance in the Funds. The Morning Chronicle of the 64 tilt, says —It is rumored that there have been bickerings between some of the Magnates of the land and their deputies in the Cabinet, on the subject of the duty to be imposed on imported corn.— The duly which Ministers proposed was fifteen shillings the first year, with a diminution of one shilling each year till ten sh flings, at which it should stop. On the other hand, a great Northern Proprietor of Boroughs insisted on twenty-five shillings: and distinctly stated, that ny attempt to fix a lower duty should ho frus trated in the House of Lords. Several Minis ters, on tins, threatened resignation. A com promise at length took place; and 17s. 6d. it is aid, is tho sunt fixed on, with a reduction eve ry year till 1 Is. Gd. 1 Il was stated that the Earl of Westmoreland and Mr. Robinson were about to retire from tho Cabinet. The Duko of Sussex had been dangerously ill, but was pronounced convalescent by his hvsicians. Mr. Canning had also been seri ously indisposed, but was 'apidlv recovering. A prosecution has been issued hy the Crown against Mr. Shiol, for the treasonable and sedi tious tendency of the speech, delivered by him in Dublin, on the subject of foreign invasion. The Duke of York’s will has boon proved in Doctor’s Commons, and the Executors have sworn tho effects to be under £180,000. He desires his just dehts and funeral expenses to he paid without delay, and expresses a confi. dent hope that liis property is sufficient to dis charge them. It is however stated that tho Duke’s debts amount to nearly £300,000 and that the King has expressed his determination to pay the difference between the assots and the claims, out of his private resources. The Duke's stud of horses were sold at Tat- tcrsall’s on the 5:li, and brought 7230 guin eas. His celebrated horse Moses was sold for 1000 guineas to the Duko of Richmond. Kean continued to draw crowded houses at Drury Lane. Tho loss sustained by the Dutch expedition in the late gales is said to amount to two mil lions of florins (£200,000.) Fifty houses in tho town of Biel in the valley of Conche, were destroyed on the night of tho 17th by an avalanche; thirty persons had been extricated from the ruins shockingly mutilated. From the London Courier, of Feb. 7. City Two O'clocJi.—Wo have had various unfavorable reports circulated in the course of flic morning, viz. the resignation of Lord Liv erpool and Mr. Canning—a New Loan—and a decline in the French Rents on Monday—all equally entitled to credit: but they had, never theless^ the- effeet of lowering the F uuds. _ Fracas in France.—It is stated in the Now York Commercial Advertiser that a violent personal attack was committed nt Paris, on the 20ih January upon Prince Tolleyrand, by Count Maubreuil, while leaving Church, at the close of tho service. The Prince was felled to the ground by tho blow, and was severely stun ned. He had been twice bled and was recov ering. The Count Maubreuil, had been em ployed by Tnlleyrand, to recover the crown jewels, which had been taken by Jerome Bona parte’s wife; and some dispute existed in regard to his services. have a tribunal to try him. In the reply, Setter Revenga says, Bolivar’s words had already been, “yesterday Paez saved the republic,” and “today he has given us domes tic peace.” “General Paez, far from being culpable, is the savior of the country.” By the latest accounts from Bogota, both chambers of congress had adjourned for want of a quorum, but it was supposed that the ses sion would not he long deferred on that ac count.
