We observe many articles in the papers, touching the affairs of the Greeks, together with a very long report communicated to the Greek committee by Edward Blaquiere, esq. relative to his late visit to Morea, which was read at the meeting of the committee in London, on the 18th of Sept. This document we have not had time to read.

Speaking of the late accounts, the Liverpool Mercury says, they are of a mixed, but, upon the whole, of a favorable nature. On the one hand, it is stated that Seraskier Mahomet Pacha had entered Livadia with his army, and was advancing towards Corinth; and on the other, that accounts had been received confirmatory of the defeat of the division of the army of Pacha of Scutari, near Agrapha. It is also stated, that in the late fire at Constantinople, the magazines near the arsenal were destroyed, and that continual apprehensions were entertained of fresh outrages from the fanatical mussulmen, who were enraged at the disastrous course of public events.
