LE MONITEUR UNIVERSEL

No. 208. Vendredi, 27 Juillet 1827. Vienna, 16 July. Among the recent measures adopted by the Turkish government, that which appoints a civil governor in each province, so that the pashas retain only the command of the troops there, must be distinguished. This new organization has been executed in Smyrna, although the powers of the civil commander are not yet well defined. There is also pressure for greater activity in forming new constitutions for all parts of the empire. Since the Acropolis tradition, the Divan published nothing new from the theater of war, Ibrahim Pasha must have marched from Patras to Corinth. It was written from Thessaloniki, on the 8th of this month, that Greek naval patrols were still taking place in the area of ??Volos, but without daring to attempt a landing. The Pasha of Thessaloniki was ordered to send his son to Volos at the head of 1,500 men... Extensive presentation of the hearing of the Russian ambassador in Constantinople. Also news from Paris. According to information which is quite accurate, France is at present massing in the Mediterranean a much larger naval force than she has been accustomed to employ there. Never, in any time of peace, was there so much activity in the ports of the kingdom, and the last fitting out was done with remarkable skill. And of the twenty-four ships of war (including four large ships and eight frigates) which have lately been ordered to be armed, for emergency service, there remain but four or five ships to be equipped, most of which will probably not have time to be sent before on the 10th of the following month. 2nd, p. 4. In French.
