After wading through one of the most obscure and un meaning articles we ever saw on the subject of Greece, in the Globe of last night, we came to the following notable sentence :—" The evils of Greece have in fact been the result of interference!" Although we are con vinced the absurdity of this assertion will be apparent to the most superficial observer of the Greek struggle, still we cannot help taking this opportunity of recurring to a question on which we have already offered some opinion : we mean, the choice of a ruler, who, from his energy and talents, may be capable of forming a government in the new state. With respect to the evils of Greece haring been caused by interference, we shall merely say, that had it not been for the sympathy displayed first in Germany, afterwards in this country—and the subsequent measures of Mr. CANNING—we are thoroughly convinced that the Turks, aided by the policy of Prince METTERNICH, would have long since put down the insurrection, if not exterminated the greatest portion of the Greek people. Sa tisfied as we are on this point, it is needless for us to express our persuasion that, but for the intervention which has produced such results, Greece could never have possessed within itself the means of complet ing its political organization. Even the very circum stance which is so dwelt upon by the evening paper al luded to, namely, that a few titled adventurers have wriggled themselves into the direction of its affairs, is calculated above all else to prove the necessity of imme diate and active interference. If, as we have all along maintained—aye, maintained even before CANNING took up the question—it was the interest of England to favour the emancipation of Greece, and thus rear at the same time a barrier against Russian ambition, how amazingly is not the argument strengthened, by the result of the recent war ! Insisting, then, as we still do, on the only line of policy which remains for this country to follow, how important is it, that instant measures should be taken for displacing a set of intriguers, as hateful to the people of Greece, as they are inimical to England. We, are sure that the Noble Earl in the Foreign Office has only to refer to the communications made by the Provisional Government of 1823, and in the two succeeding years, to be convinced of the anxiety felt by it, to cultivate a close Alliance with us. We have little doubt that the more recent correspondence of Sir FREDERICK ADAM will have thrown new light on the subject, and fully confirmed all these previous assurances. Barbarous as the Greeks may be thought, they possess a sagacity and acuteness with regard to poli tical science, which cannot have escaped travellers. This quality has enabled them, from the first, to appreciate and distinguish their natural allies. Among these England is still considered foremost, nor have all our indifference and folly destroyed the impression. How desirable is it, therefore—under these considerations—to take such steps as shall facilitate the grand object of Grecian esta blishment ; and to consolidate a strong and popular Go vernment in a. country, which, if once organised, would become so important a member of the European family ! to effect this,it is indispensable that an able head should be found. I f the individual,upon whom the reins of that new G overnment shall be devolved, possess the requisite qualifi cations, we can answer for it . that the people will rally round his person, and contradict—by their steadiness and zeal—the calumnies of their detractors. It is very amusing, to see wbat pains a certain Evening Contemporary takes to undo all his former doings, and to acquire even the notoriety of ridicule, when he can • no longer maintain the reputation of intelligence or integrity. Not satisfied with the signal triumph which the Courier has achieved over his clumsiness, he seems determined to tear off at once the mask which has so long shrouded his ignorance from the public eye ; and for this purpose he has relected a subject which requires nothing but the arithmetical calculation of a fifth-class school-boy to detect his blunders. " The appearance of a few Catholic Gentlemen in the list of Sheriffs," having excited the alarm of some of the High Church Party, the Journal in question sets about appeasing their disquietude by telling them that " The number of Catholic Gentry is not to be judged of by their proportion in the list of Sheriffs, for the very reason we have stated. They are in the con dition of men who have newly purchased lands—there is always an undue proportion of them in the lists for future asrvice•aa Sheriffs." Now any uninformed person read isbgthis paragraph, would naturally be induced to suppose that the Sheriffs' lists contained an immense majority of Roman Catholic Gentlemen, as candidates for the honour of the Shrievalty : but what is the fact ? Why, in twelve Irish counties, in which of course there appear the names of thirty-six gentlemen, there are but five Roman Ca tholics ! We have St. Petersburgh Papers to the 10th, and the Prussian State Gazette to the 24th instant, this day. The former contains an address by General PASKEW /TSCU to his troops at Erzeroum ; and in a communication from the Capital of Russia, we are again apprized of the ratification of the treaty of peace. The Prussian State Gazette gives some particulars of the troubles that are occurring, front day to day, in the East. The impotent Pacha of SCUTARI ventured to annoy the Russian Ge neral GEISMA R, for which hs was obliged to fly ; and tranquillity is said to be again restored. Greece, it would appear by these papers, is still in a state of woe ful insubordination and convulsion. The subjoined are our selections : TIPLIS, Ocr. 16. Count Pasliewitsch Ecrivansky has addressed to the troops of the corps under his command the following Order of the Day, dated Erzerown, 18th September : " Your military deeds. brave soldiers, have been honoured by the regard of our most gracious Sovereign, in a manner surpassing all your expectations. I do not speak of myself—there are no words to express my feelings for the favours of our most august Monarch. To you, comrades, he equally directs his paternal re gard, enjoining me, in his autograph letter, to say,—' Declare to the troops my entire satisfaction and gratitude. Their conduct after the victory is as agreeable to me as the most glorious exploits.' " Soldiers! These are the words of your Emperor. What re ward do you place above this?" ST. PETERSBURGH, Nov. 9. We learn, by letters lately received front head-quarters at Adri anople, that the ratification of the Treaty of Peace by the Sultan had been received there. As soon as we shaU be informed that it has been exchanged for that of his Majesty the Emperor, which must by this time have reached that city, we shall immediately communicate the Treaty to our readers, which, according to the established custom, cannot be published till after the exchange of ratifications.—St. Pstersbargla Papers, Nov. 10. FRONTIERS OF TURKEY. There has been an unexpected rencontre between the troops of General Geismar and those of the Puha of Scutari. The former, who was ordered to observe the Pache's motions, learned that he intended to march towards Adrianople, and resolved therefore to advance front Wrusa to Sophia. On the third day he fell in, neer Arnant Laical, with a corps of 1,700 Albanians, who had taken up a strong position, and entrenched themselves with three pieces of cannon. A flag of truce seat by General Geismar to re quire a free passage, was received with a discharge of musketry, on which the Albanians prepared to make an attack, the result of which was, that they suddenly abandoned the position, leaving their guns behind. General Geismar forbid his troops from pursuing the enemy in their Bight, and even allowed their baggage to follow them without obstruction. The Parka of Scutari, on informing the Turkish plenipotentiaries of this event, repeated the assurance of his peace able intentions, and entreated that the advance of General Gehmar might be postponed, which was accordingly done, by order of Count Diebitsch. At the same time General Geismar received orders to return to the Pacha the cannon and whatever else the Turks bad lost. • Happily this affair cost link blood on either side, and tranquillity is fully restored. We have received the following particulars of the troubles that have occurred in the vicinity of Smyrna. For about two months past the inhabitants of the province of Null had been provoked to the utmost by contributions which the tax-gatherer increased at their own pleasure. At length they rose against the Magistrates, drove them away, as well as the tax-gatherers. and placed an indi vidual, named Kid Mehated Zeibeck, at the head of the adminis tration. This person, being of an enterprising character, has al ready made great progress, and finds every where new adherents. At the same time, he recommends moderation, protests that be by no means revolts against the Sultan, but has taken arms against his Ministers only, who use their power to oppress the poor, and that his sole object is to replace the taxes on their ancient footing. He has already made himself master of the towns of Aidin, Giduselbhsar, de Tire, and Minder Capaba, the magistrates of which have Bed and retired to Smyrna. Considering the spirit that prevails there, Kid Mehnted, if he should advance so far, will meet with no opposition ; and be able to get possession of the city without obstacle. The Currier deg 116,116 contains news from the island of Can dia of the 9d and 9tb of October. " The news of the Treaty of Peace rapidly spread amoog the Greeks, who looked for it to be able to judge of their future des tiny. The 110:04Int, from Egina are not favourable, and the in surgents see that it is possible that Crete may remain subject to Turkey, however they expect supplies of men and money from the Government. Governor Hann has withdrawn to Carabuno." In the district of Apokorna there have been disturbaners among the Greeks, in consequence of which the Sphaliots burnt two villages. The crop of olives has entirely failed. The 30 Deputies sent from Crete to Argos, have returned with 40 horses which were landed at Klasainos. The Greeks have spread a re port that Sulliman Pacha has orders from the Sultan to massacre all the Greeks, except - children under seven years of age. Between the 40th and 25th October, some flpha!lots came to the village of Samaparoli to carry offs Greek girl, whose brothers op. posed them with arms, and killed one of them ; on which a number of their adherents assembled, and set Are to the village. M, H. * deb English Gentleman, who, itt the first year of the Greek bum. rection was making a scientific tour in EEypt, happened to be at Cairo when a Greek girl from Candia,nine years of age, watofered for sale. Mr. H. bought the child, sent her to England, and had her educated with great care; and when she had attained the age of fifteen, married her. On the 7th of September, Mr. H. with his young wife, arrived here from Malta, and went to her native place, in the Interior of the Wand, to let her parents take part In her good fortune. They were not a little astonished to see their daughter, after a separation of sloe years. as a Lady of consequence, dressed like a Princess, led surroondsd with servants; but refused, however, to accom pany her. • The Greek revolution affords many each episodes, which would furnish pleasing subjects for the drama. History will one day col feet these pleasing traits of European philanthropy and generosity. Prussian &We Goseits, Nor. 44. THE HAGUE. Nov. 24.

PORTUGUESE LOAN. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. Ste—Notwithstanding all that has been said on the subject of the Portuguese Loan, it appears to me that owing to the compli cated manner in which it has been treated, the matter is still but very imperfectly understood by the public. Will you allow me to state the case in the light I have always viewed it ? The writer of the City article of the Times, who is himsel suspected of being a dabbler in the public funds, bas, w►en treat ing this matter, been constantly shifting from one side to the other, without aiming at a cornet statement of facts, though always throwing blame on the IBrasiliatt and Portuguese agents for mis applying the funds destined to pay the dividends. To me the question appears simply as follows : In 1223, and while Saura TO (Conde de Povoa) was Minister of Finances, Portugal contracted a loan, for which the Tobacco con. tract was pledged u security. Subsequently, (August 49, ls2f,) and through the mediation of Great Britain, a treaty of separation and acknowledgment of Brazilian independence was concluded by Sir OSIAILLSSOART. One of the articles in this compact stipu lated, that Portugal should pay .C 2,000,000 sterling to Brasil, besides other sums, by way of compensation for the property of Portuguese subjects, and that left there by Joan VI. Another clause of the Treaty declared and acknowledged Don Pasco lawful heir of the Crown of Portugal. In order to facilitate the payment of the dividends, the old King pro posed, since the two Crowns belonged, by the consent of England, to his son, that the latter should furnish his agents In London with funds to facilitate the payment of the dividends. The bondholders who bad been in the habit of re ceiving part of the money from the Portuguese agents, were never consulted on the subject. Indeed, it was immaterial to them whether the money came from Portugal or elsewhere, so they were paid. And when the Marquis PALKULA proposed to pay them a part of the dividends on account of the Brazils, which was, to be henceforward considered as their real debtor, they positively refused it, insisting on retaining the right on Portugal. The con sequence of this was, that the dividends continued to be invariably paid by the Portuguese agents. Having re ceived the stipulated sums from the agents of Don PADAO, the Marquis of PaLwastr, as Ambassador from Portugal, continued to pay the dividends till 1828, when the usurpation of Alston altered the question in tote. Having protested against the treason of his brothel, and acknowledged Donna Mann alone as the Lawful Sovereign; having no responsibility whatever for the debts of her kingdom until restored to her, upon what principle, it may be asked, would the Emperor have been justified in paying monies, merely to sustain the credit of a person whom the British Cabinet itself bad denounced as a traitor and usurper? Under these circumstances it is absurd to maintain that if Por tugal does net pay the bondholders, Brasil should do so. The korai fide guarantee being the Tobacco contract, it is surely to the agents of the usurper who have been appropriating the profits of this branch of the revenue to the support of tyranny and oppres sion, that they ought to apply. Nothing can be clearer than that the contract, having been made with a lawful sovereign, it would be a violation of its letter and spirit, to allow the monies to be paid on behalf of an Usurper. It is both unjust and erroneous to say, that there has been any misapplication of the sums paid by the agents of the Emperor to the representatives of the young Queen. Equally absurd would it be to assert, that the Marquis of PaLstaLLA retained a particle of responsibility, after the Usur pation, when his diplomatic functions naturally ceased. There is no denying that the case of the bondholder is one of extreme hardship. But it is only one of the hundred consequences springing from the treason of Mavis. Bad however as this ease may be, what is It in comparison with the persecution and oppression of a whole people—with the destruction of commerce and the application of the revenue of Portugal to every vile and infamous purpose ? When, on a late occesien, certain persons, headed by a hireling of Asseca's, waited on Lord ASSRDISN in behalf of the bond holders, why did they not say to the Foreign Secretary, since the agents and representatives of Donna Mama refused to pay t►e dividends, it was the business of Government to insist on the original contract being fulfilled? Instead of this, which was the only true line of argument, the object of the seas-disent deputation seemed to be nothing more than to throw discredit on these diplomatists, who, during the trying situation in which they have been placed, have displayed a degree of talent and firmness no less honorable to themselves, than useful to the cause of legitimacy and justice. Nov. 28. J. M. CITY. TwaLvs o'CLoec. The facility with which the Coosa Account passed off yesterday tufted the hopes of t►e party acting for the rise, who, towards the afternoon, appeared in the market as buyers for the January open ing (20th), and gave a fresh impulse to Consols of g per cent. They opened this morning at 9311 for money, and 931 to 94 for January, and without any apparent busineas; but the market, about eleven o'clock, became very firm—buyers at 93i for money, and 94 for the opening. The general aspect of the British Market is decidedly favourable to the hopes of the Bulls party. The paying and re ceiving Accounts go off well to the present hour. In the Foreign Market, Greek Stock improves. CITY, HALF-PAST ONIL The account is now looked on as to be well wound up, and which has terminated without defaulters. This, no doubt, is a great surprise to the public, owing to Its immense weight and fluctuation ; but .It may be attributed to the great balance of diffe. reuces being between the great speculators, whose pockets are well filled, and can afford to dub up. Consols reached, in the course of tie morning, 94* for the Account, since which they are not quite so good. and may be quoted at Raj to 3 for January, and 931 for money. Stock still continues scarce, although some bloney Stock came to market. Is the Foreign Market, Greek has improved; Spanish Stock has rather declined; and Danish is latter. ' FROM A CORRESPONDENT. Great interest has been exerted in the City this morn ing, in consequence of its being the day for the payment of the differences on the Account, which terminated yes terday, as these are nearly 4 per cent. and it was feared some defalcation would take place. At present, however, all has passed over tranquilly, but the operations of the Bull party are as bold as ever, and the result is, that the money market wears a most animated appearance, at 94A for the January Account, and 94i for Money. At the final closing of the Account yesterday, Money Stock was so scarce, in consequence of the Bulls having raised money from the banking interest to take in the Stock they had purchased, that a very considerable portion has borrowed until the time of shutting for the dividend, which is the 3d of next month ; and had this not been lent, a still greater advance in the price of the English Funds must have taken place, and the Bears would have suffered severely. The attention of the Foreign Stook Market continues attracted almost entirely by Spanish Steel. It Is still more confidently asserted than ever, that negotiations have been aheady opened at Paris, fbr the recognition in some shape or other, of the Cortes Bonds : and that he parties in the French metropolis are in native sommuni cation with our leading capitalists upon the subject. Al though nothing certain has transpired, yet the general belief is that proposals fora loan to the Spanish Govern ment will be introduced, and that-thc Bonds of the Cortes will be taken in part at a ratio to be agreed upon by the partienconcemed ; but doubts are entertained as to whe ther this will include the Bonds of the second loan of the Cortes. Spanish Stock is 11i. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. CHANGES.

THE COBBETT LECTURE-SPEECHES.—The 'The atre of the Mechanic's Institution, in Southampton buildings, was last night crowded by a respectable audi ence to hear a lecture from Mr. Cobbett on the present prospects of merchants, traders, and farmers. The gist of Mr. Cobbett's argument, in tracing the present mit feri,ngs of the people throughout the country, lay in the legislative measures adopted, altered—re-adopted and re altered—on the subject of the currency. Among many proofs which he adduced of the danger of tampering with the currency, he dwelt with great force on the declaration of Mr. Hasx esson —" that the country was within forty-eight hours of barter."—" Yes !" said Mr. Cob bett—" Ministers brought this rich and opulent country, famed for a thousand years as a commercial country, to a state in which there could be no property safe, and in which no man could say what was its worth. And what barter was a man to have with a soldier ? What was the soldier to give in exchange ? If they were within 48 hours of barter, they were within 48 hours of military violence, to be sure. A soldier must live as well as another man. What has he to give ? He has his bayonet to give. This is no charge which I am bringing against the Par liament and the Government—it was their own declara tion, and I believe it was true also. What sort of a Parliament must that be which would let these same men remain in power after they had acknowledged they had brought this country to within 48 hours of barter ? Landsmen are frightened at sea—so were these ignorant men who had had experience, for they were not chickens. HUSKISSON, who said this, was not a chicken. He had had, for pretty nearly thirty years, our money in his pocket, when he said " they had brought the country to within 48 hours of barter." Mr. COBBITT'S aim seems to be, to rouse a feeling among the people to a sense of their acknowledged grievances ; and to this end, be thinks that the first and most essential step is to touch the sinecures, and exorbitant salaries, in all the offices pertaining to the administration. He held them severally up to the ridicule and derision of his auditors— from the Prince of SAXE-COB U BO'S £50,000 a year for doing nothing, down to Mr. GouLavaw's salary of £6,000 a year " for his skill as a financier" ! In speak ing of what we were, what we are, and what we are likely to come to, Mr. COBBETT said :—" Some imagine that, when.things have come to the worst, they will mend. I see no reason for any thing mending when it has come to the worst. But what is coming to its worst ? Suppose wheat came to the price of ten shillings a bushel— that a man could not have a joint of meat on his table once in three months—how was he to get out of it ? He would continue where he wee, to be sure. His worst situation not does not make taxes lighter. Is it any comfort to say we are as low as we an be ? Is it any comfort, when a man's leg is getting come and worse, to say, by and by I shall lose it ? The wuke of Wellington has said that he is very desirous we should be brought back to' our ancient habits. 1, too, should be very glad to see us . brought back to them. ' Our ancient habits were to pay no duty on malt; good beer was sold for 2d. a pot. Our ancient habits were that labourers in the fields should not live on potatoei, but meat and bread. I could tell the Duke of Wellington, if I could get to his ear, that the way to go back to our ancient habits is by giving a man like Goulburn 501. a year, in the place of 6,0001.—by a vast redaction in all expenses. They want us to go back to ancient habis, but are far indeed from going back to an cient habits ;benne:Wes. We have now two Admirals to every ship of the line—more Generals and Admirals thaw all the world put together. lam for going back to the time whenl3,ooo soldiers was all that England had, which was the case at the time I wasa young man. lam for going back to the time when the gaol was not a place of refuge for the poor man—when it was a place of pu nishment, and when the gaols were large enough to bold those committed to them. The Ministers receive double salaries, whilst we are in a state of want." There were many other very striking passages in Mr. Cobbett's address; and, judging by the attention and respect with which he was listened to, and the repeated cheers with which he was cordially hailed, we left the theatre under the im pression that he made a decided kit.
