MONDAY MORNING, JUNE 11, 1827.
GREECE.
The Editor of the Boston Palladium has received a letter from Smyrna of the 27th of March, confirming the account of the arrival of Lord Cochrane, and the writer adds—
"The Greeks are getting on as usual, and the campaign looks as if it would be more decisive than the former ones; and from all appearances Russia does not care much for the Greeks—she will never interfere to make them an independent State—at least this is the view I have always taken of the subject. The Turks are exerting themselves in getting ready a strong fleet, and sending off the new troops to the Morea. It is pretty well understood that the Porte will allow of the interference of no European powers. England alone has interfered in their behalf.
"Athens has been relieved by the Greeks, and some advantages gained. Gen. Karaiskaki has gained a decisive victory over Omar Vrioni Pacha, who is in a very bad situation. The Sultan has received a Tartar with this news. The frigate Hellas is at sea, with 600 men, in company with a steamboat, and some smaller vessels."
