GREECE.
The papers contain details respecting the civil dissensions in the Morea, which there is reason to hope have by this time been assuaged. Bouboulina, the heroine, who for a time commanded a vessel against the Turks, took part with the insurgents, and was taken prisoner by the government troops at the time. Young Colocotroni was killed, in consequence, it is said, of excesses he had committed; the most fatal of which, to himself, was, that he had pistoled a priest an outrage which roused the people against him.
Pirro Bry the chief of the Maniotes, had not openly declared against the government, but the Oriental Spectator represents him as watching his opportunity.
