PARIS, MARCH 8.

A private letter from Bremen of a recent date, states that the independence of Greece is the almost exclusive object of Mr. Stratford Canning's mission to St. Petersburg. It is confidently affirmed in the same letter, that England having recognized the New States of South America, Russia claims for herself the right to interfere in the affairs of Greece according to her own views and interests; and that the approaching visit of Prince Metternich to Paris, has for its special object to induce the French Government to unite with Austria in opposing the aggrandizement of Russia.

The works at Cronstadt for repairing the ships of war, which compose the Russian fleet in the Baltic, are carrying on with the most extraordinary rapidity, under the direction of two Adjutants-General of the Emperor Alexander.
