Stuttgart, Jan. 8.—The Swabian Mercury contains a letter written by an officer, formerly belonging to the free corps of Lutzow, who says he is at Marseilles with 60 or 70 individuals, who are going to embark for Greece. I confess, he says, it is a strange mixture of persons of all nations—Germans, French, Danes, Dutch, Swiss, Italians, Poles and Spaniards: some military, some students, some animated with enthusiasm for the good cause; others, adventurers, hoping to make their fortunes either by sea or by land.
