The New York Morning Courier of Monday contains the following article:—

Europe.—Important Private Intelligence.

The Packet Ship York brought a letter to an English gentleman in this city, from which we gather important intelligence with respect to Greek and Turkish affairs. This letter is from a gentleman in London, occupying a responsible official station.—He states that there is an express agreement (not an understanding.) entered into by England, Russia and France, to conquer and partition the Turkish dominions in Europe and Africa—Constantinople and its dependencies are allotted to Russia—Egypt to England, and the isles of the Mediterranean, and some portions of the land adjoining that sea to France. The Turk is to be driven into Asia, and the Greeks are to have a government of their own under the guaranty and protection of the Three Powers.

We are not at liberty, for obvious reasons, to give names in regard to this information;—we can only say that it comes from a responsible source through a respectable medium.
