Previous, however, to entering into this hallowed obligation, it becomes an imperative duty, not only to regulate the passions, but Ito cleanse the grosser nature from those impurities which the free. dom of unrestricted pleasure may have entailed upon it. To the neglect of such attention, are attributable many of those hapless instances which, wbfie they excite the commiseration of the be holder, should also impress him with the fear of self-reproach.

The New Monthly Magazine, just published, contains one of the most candid and most interesting narratives of the recent events, and present state of Greece,that has yet appeared. The author, who is already favourably known to- the Public by his work on Sp tin, exhibits, with ,great frankness, the difficulties the Greeks have to con tend againt, while he does justice to the patriotism and bravery which have distinguished their past exer, tions. The account, however, is not confined to details. of military exploits, but contains an account of the Government, the manners, customs, and present state of society in Greece, with a notice of the most distin guished Cb:efs. From this narrative we shall select h . few passages..--EDITOR dr. Tun Sean. ; ' NAPOIA Dt ROINANIA-.—CESTOME or THE GREZES GREEK GOWAN/ABET .••••••• LANDING UT IBRAHIM • PACHA. After a fifty days' voyage we finally cast anchor be. fore Napoli 'di Romania. This city, seated at the foot of a gigantic and abrupt rock; the Palamida Castles, which, in appearance impregnable, rest on its summit ; a palm.tree, which raises its hiad above the turreted walls, like the banner of the climate; Argos, and the beautiful plain of Argos in front of the gulf; the snowy summit of the frowning Taygetus on the left; all the scenery around, renders the view of Napoli di Romania one of the most picturesque in the world. But as soon as the stranger puts his foot on shore, his enthusiasm ceases, the enchantment disappears. The darrOw stre:ts, the houses meanly built, the air, heavy and impregn Iced with fetid smells, strike him with dis. gist. The nuisances, in short, are such, that it would be the labour of Hercules to remove them. This is one of the causes of an epidemic and almost exterminating 'fever, which raged during the last year. When I dß embarked, the lever had but just ceased; and we still met in the voids the' livid e9untenances of those who hid teen infected. Possibly this epidemic Will re appear with the hest, as the Government has taken no precaution to eradicate it. The Greeks have, in some measure, inherited the fatalism of the Turks. The latter are accustomed' to the plague, and the former are becoming so to the ,epidetnia. Napoli di Romania is surnamed, from its situation and its aspect, the Gibraltar of the Archipelago. In appearance it merits this epithet ; but with respect to its strength, I fear that it would be the Gibraltar when in the hands of the Spaniards. Some Officers who vi lited it with the eye pf experience, told me' that it was %AL miserable state of defence. It is destitute of pro visions, artillery, and artillery-men ; the few cannoti which are mounted have not carriages' capable of re sisting a dozen discharges. It possesses no one . ads vantage but the Commander of the Palamida, General Fotomara, a Suliot, who has grown grey alike in arms and in sentiments of honour. The diversions of this capital consist of some ill-furnished coffee-houses and cracked billiards; an evening promenade in a small square, overshadowed in the midst by a family and majestic plane -tree; and in the indulgence of an eager curiosity, constantly excited by news and anecdotes. Woman, that compensation for every calamity and pri vation, is invisible, as the men do not allow her to be seen. For more than five and twenty centuries, the fair sex in Greece have been condemned, under various pretexts, to domestic confinement. The ancient Greeks, that they might preserve their manners pure, kept them almost from the contact of the air; and imprisoned them. in the gyoeceutn ; subsequently the Turks shut them up in harems ; and the modern Greeks, through jealousy, keep them secluded from society. The population of this city is fluctuating, as it de.' pends on contingencies. It may, however, amount to 15,000. There can be no doubt that, according to its scale, it is the most populous capital in the world; foe the houses are so small, and the people so confinsd. that in every room are found three or four inhabitants. I was desirous of paying a visit to the members of the Government. Without any introduction, without may ceremony, my desire was soon accomplished. They are accessible to all, and at all hours of the day. They are not lodged in a palace. The Government House belongs to none of the known orders of architecture—but when, and where has Liberty had its cradle of gold I—lt is a wild-flower that blooms among thorns and precipices. At the head of a clumsy wooden staircase I found them seated, or - rather squatting, on cushions, which formed around the room a sort of sofa. The costume, the reclined position, the serious immobility of countenance of every member, made me at first believe myself be. fore a Divan. The Vice-President, Signoi Batazzi, of Spezzia, with his legs crossed, was counting the beads of an oriental rosary. The rest of - the members; clad in a costume between Grecian and Turkish, sieve either smoking or running over a similar trinket. M Paris and at London it is insisted that the. Greeks are no longer Turkish ; and that, wishing to enter into the .great European family, they ought to divest themselvei of their ancient practices, and adopt the habits and cue- . toms of the new family, which is ..anxious to embrace them as brothers. Such a sentiment •is reasonable enough, but it is premature. To change the habits and dreis of a whole people, is not so easy as are the theatrical transformations of Paris and London. What labour did not Peter the Great encounter in cutting the beards of his Muscovites, and in casing them in a Prussian uniform ? The fact is, that:the kirdeks•sit la furque, (and will continue to do so for a long time to come.) They eat pilaw a lo nip e ; they smoke 'with long pipes; they write to the lets • • they walk out accompanied.by troop of aimed people; they salutes, they sleep; and they loiter about, ala Three. Thus, instead of abandoning the habits of their oppressors, 'they appear, Since the revolution, to nave followed 'them more closely. They make a display of wearing the tutban trimmed with white, the red ripaircii, and, ,in short, (horrible diau !) of throwing around them ;o = - : y :.-.~ the green cefetan,—thCee terrible prohibitions in toe time of Turkish despotism. They, therefore, from 'the pleasure of revenge s and as a sign of . :iribmph, love to do all that their tyeaup once ince:Aided,' that the slave might not resemble his master. Besides this, the Greek people are accOstonied to venerate only otitments loaded with gold WO silver and peitrisov - hich ilie - Pachas .cause to be respected (With the executioner always at their side); but udder orir"Etitopean dress the people distinguish nothing bill "ambulating doctors. The women, who are always - cAptivthia by the brilliant and the magnificent, cannot bear the sigh of our simplicity, so mean in comparison of eastern pomp. This prefer= ence of the fair* sex will doubtless iong.be a great ob stacle to any change of the national dress: The Government is. composed .Q 1 five individuals, and of a Secretary of State. The President and Secre tary of. State were *Mart on my arrival : they were at the camp of Navarino.l . shall give an account of them • hereafter. Doreen', who holds the post of Vice-Presi dent, is a rich merchant of Spezzia,—perhaps the richest man there. He is a fresh-looking "old•man ;he speaks only Greek. Had he been prectuntrili .public affairs, he 'would be an excellent magistrate, liNving the reputation of a sound patriot. Mauromicali; a - Spartan, and one of the members of the-family of Pietro , Bey, who has made the most painful sacrifices for the Rherty of his countrj,ls also unacquainted with any, fhreiga language: He may be versed in the arts efliiplomacy, but he has the stamp on his countenance of W.nObleness of character which he has never belied. I have had no opportunity of becomiog acquanted with Spiglio teal, another of the members of the Government, and a native of the Peloponnesus. Of him I have neither heard good nor ill. Lastly, Coletti is the head of a party, who, to : great natural intelligence, unites an European information. He is a native of Epirus, and was from hii youth estemed by Ali Pacha, who main tained him at his studies at the University of Pavia; he afterwards became physician to Moretti:, the sort of Ali Pacha. He speaks and writes Italian well i —are affects a style of dress rather Turkish th.;n Grecian. Under an imperturbable gravity aliogether. Turkish, may be dis cerned in his countenance the Greek vivacity and con. ning; From his lofty deportment every one perceives that he has been educated in the seraglio of an Eastern despot. It would he useless to make mention of the seven ex isting Ministers, as they exercise no authority. The Government leaves them nothing but the name. It assumes every duty itself; it does not yet recognize the :utility of a division of labour. * a lbrehim Pacha, to whom were known the civil dis cords amongst. the Greeks, did not hesitate to take ad. vantage of the occasion to disembark in the Motes, and surprise. Navarino (Filo Castro). In fact, about the middle of February, lie landed at M•idon, with 14,000 regular troops; and in a few days after invested that city. Coleui, who might have been able, with his tried promptitude, to oppose the Egyptians, was recalled to the bosom of the Government; and the President, who had never been accustomed to arms,undertopk to b ecome himself General-in-Chief. To his inexperience e as joined. great delicacy of health; he lost several days in Tripci haze, labouring under .a fever. He afterwards - esta blished his head-quarters at Scala, four hours distant horn the Greek camp ; a distance ton great to admit-of his easily directing its operations. It vi as therefore necessary to delegate his power to some other General. Whether to avoid the rivalry which.existe4 amongst the Roumeliot Capitani, who all aspired to the supreme command, or Irons partiality towards a countryman of his own, the President chose for General-in-Chief, a Hydriot Captain, Scurti, who had no experience in the land-service. This unhappy choice was followed by el" issue still more unhappy. On the morning of the lOth of April, the Greeks were unexpectedly attacked by the- Egy ptia•is. Many of the Roumeliot Capitani fought on that day w.th the greatest valour : some of them,• transported with too much ardour (Pirrella was moonset the number), imprudently descended into the plain. The enemy, superior in cavalry, in arms, and in disci pline, repelled the Greeks at different points, and killed 144 men, and amongst them four commanders. • When this distressing news reached Napoli, it filled all ranks with consternation. Since the battle of P.ta, in 1822, in which the Greeks lost about trio hundred men, they had not sustained so heavy a disaster. In all the other battles, they bad been accustomed to lose no more than ten, fifteen, or twenty soldiers. When Marc* Botzari fell, only eleven combatants fell with him. A soldier of Wagram or Waterloo may perhaps smile at the description of these battles, as we smile on reading the war of the frogs and the mice in Homer ; but th - e destiny of nations does not always depend on great slaughter. At Marathon, the Athenians saved their country wi , h the sole loss of 192 heroes! Sometimes the death of a few men drew along with it the ruin of the Italian Repob lics of the middle ages. What are the battles of Bolivar but skirmishes, compared with those of Napoleon? Yet their result will be more lasting an more glorious..
