(From the Free Preis.) REMOVAL OF THE NAVAL ESTABLLSHMRNTS• The intelligence of a local nature received by the packet is most extraordinary and unexpected. We had already seen with reiret and astonishment our vessels ex cluded from the ports of a neighbouring nation; our rights relinquished by the adoption of a course of policy tvhich pcnuits foreigners to frequent the lisrbostrs and bays of this colony, and to take and cure fish upon its shores: but we never could have itnagined, that one of the finest foreign yards in his Majesty's dominions WA4 s be abandoned, and its buildinp consigned to ruin and decay. Such, howeve►, is the fact; and it is ihis day our unpleasant duty to announce, that the stores tat the Na val ileapital are to be removed to Bermuda, and the (dicers and people of that department are to be discharged, with the exception of a clerk, a porter, and one labourer. We vew this measure, in common with every well wisher to the province, with sorrow and COMM, ; not that we think that this colony dues not contain resources within iuelf, which, if called um° action by the united ellergits of its population, would be amply sufficient for „ the support and prosperity of its inhabitants ; but be cause we consider the dismissal of the people to whom these departments have hitherto yielded support, and who are, generally speaking, old and faithful servants of Govermssetst, as an act pregnant with the most serious consequences to themselves and their numerous families ; .that it is witlulratwing a ltrge sum of money front circa- lotion, at a period when the commerce of 'he count!), ].►town under the most extreme depression ; and also, that it must be viewed as demonstrating the near ap ',midi of that period when this pros ince will be turn front the Biiti►h diadem. It h.as long been the opinion of well-infonned men, that Government, in staking Bermuda a naval depot, eontetnplated the possibility of ultimately bribing these prwinees, and was, therefore desirous of guarding against use pernicious consequences which might mutt to the other colonies in the western hemisphere in consequence of ►hat event, lay having a place whose insular situation, Nether with its natural and artificial defences, would at all tunes offer a retreat for the British fleets. But it could scarcely have been contemplated that in the midst of peace and security, the naval arsenal at Ilalifax, on a reduced scale. would lie destro)ed, and its stores re moved to a place difficult of approach. liable to the re acts and tempests of a West India eamate, and where she expense of a ictualling the persons employed by Go- vernment amounts to treble the sum which would be re. 'wired in this province. Besides all this, the Dock-yard at Bermuda is by no means complete, and the approach to it is ren lereil extremely difficult, and even dangerous, owing to the intricacy of the navigation ; and notwith standing the iminensesums that have been expended, a v es s e l c a n n ot he hare down without much risk, and must be righted should a fresh breeze spring up Irons any point in the compass from N.E. room' to S.W. The measures 'monks! by Government with respect to these co!onles, will, we arc persuaded. impel the in habitants of this pros ihee to cultivate the advantages smith nature has !At:slit(' them ; and it is this re llectinn alone that Lin ilarts a cheering ray amidst the stir. rnandia4 glrr)tt►. A p►nmpt amid m itily representation to the Lciristature oh the grievances ss liich are created by a circun►scri'aal trade, to,gether sc itb a respectful appli cation fur redress, would, we are persuaded, be attended with success. We should Om b Pn.d.led to cope with our more fottnnate and prudent ne.,... , mr5, and the de pression and distress which at pr,s.lit pervade MON classes of the community, would be soccerded by pun- perolli Girl happier fortune.

Extracted from the row kr Paris paper of Tuesday, the tOth of August : • It was enough for England to have sacrificed the thrisi to propitiation of Parga. la coding the territory of 'largo to the Turks, and in pluming the bannet of the Infidel On the spot where stood the last cross. on the homier of Christendom en Greece, England virtrially degrad«l an innocenspeople. •• Parga never belonged to the Turks. The Pargitinotes are Greeks, and have ever distinguished themselves by their virtues and industry. They cultivated dais native soil up to the very day that tore them from its bosom. They did not alone ',titivate olives, that furnished then) the means of subsistence ; their fer. tile territory produces fruits of every sort, with which all Epirus is supplied, and their cedrata tind their way even to riussia. " I defy the author of the article in the Journ.i. f': DAate, of the sib, to produce a single proof in support of the assertion, that the Parguir.otes are, for the most part, bsaditti and high • way robbers.' Lord Byron and Mr. Hobhousc never saw Parga; they never saw a great part of Greece, respecting which they speak with as little truth. To be convinc e d pe of this , it is only ne cessary to consult the work of Major Leake, who explores! Greece with more care, more knowledge. and more observation. " But why resort to the authority of the English tourists?— ' The Honor the second session of the first Paeliament of the lonian Islands refutes the caluinsies published against time unhappy Parguinotes. •• It the English Government attempted to estimate the pro perty of the Parguinotes at sa high a valuation as to oblige Ali Pula to abandon thearsir. why did rat Sir Thon:as AI aitland. at lord adhere firmly to the very macerate estimate made by las own CJIIIIII ssioners specially appointed by him for the purpose. and announced by proetamation, which esti:nate was stated at nearly 3,000.000 dollars? Why did he give Ali Pacha the church property and lands, 'illicit were private donations which belonged to that community, • whose good alone he consulted S' Why did he carry his complaisance to the lem6out ts rant of Epi rue so far, as not to permit the inhabitants to carry . with them the images and other precious articles belonging to their churches; thus leaving them exposed to the sacrilegious insults of the infidel? Why add to this disdainful treatment of men, a contemptuous disregard of the things which arc held most sacred among Chris• tient ? Was it, as said by the apologists of the cession, to avoid the threatened hostility of the I'orte to England's itionemre commerce in the Levant ? What ! Ersesincl, the mistress of Malta and Corfu, dread the Porte? W hat a ! or what a miserable pretext ! •• But England has not fallen so low as to tremble before the 'Pura. 'file passage of the Dardanelles and the bombardment of Algiers have proclaimed her power, and the English Lion woula rouse at the fi rst insult to Britis h rights. Not a morning does the Divan awake without trembling at the idea of again beholding the flag with which Admiral Duckworth appeared in the waters of Constantinople under the Sultan's palace-walls. " With these recollections before us, who shall dare to assert that to save !large was not in the power of England ? " In maintaining the settled valoation. and fixing the fatal term for executing the cession, Ali l'acha, who has deceived the Divan as to the importance of Parga and the public feeling of the inhabitantssowards the Porte• would have lost the truer of his intrigues, and the treaty would have never Leen completed. But instead of adhering to this wise resolution, General Manhood. as if he had to do with an Indian Nabob, temporises!, negotiated, conceded so many natified so much deference, and paid so many obwiuious visits, that Ali Pasha thought he was conferring a fasour upon England by receiving Parga on the terms which be swath:treader to accept,' in compliment to the High Commissioners of Enalaral. •• It was not enough fir the representative of that King, whose noblest title is that of • Defender of the Faith.' to descend to a men:lieu:lt soli ruction for the degrading friendship of Ali ?ache. lie could not inspire him with the common confidence among men in trade. Ere he could touch the proceeds of the sale of Parga, the haughty Pelaitland, before whom the alaltese and lonians tremble, was obliged to leave Colonels Hawkey and 1:o -bits's, as hostages for the amount of 150,000!., until l'arga should have been actually crled. •• The apolmasts for the cession of Parga say, that its inhabitants will obtain land' in the lonian Isla ; but this promise is alike illusory and impossible to be realized.— The statiscal survey of the Seven Island proves, that all the cultivatable hank arc the propsny tit er of indiviaturls, of the Church. or of the Exclicapter , property of which no one has a right to dispose. Of this fact the British govetn ment. comprised b) a false trnecesling, is perhaps rant ; and the consequence will be thi :—the principal inhabi tants of Perm). too rear Aii ['Rolla to avoid lii• snares, and not feeling secure in the islands, will s e's a more remote ash loot ; those who have a moderate capital will take refuge in Russia; and the poor, inveigled by the promises of the Satrap. who Isis his agents among them, will return to their native soil, and tall victims to his revenge. What will be the result to England? Sire will know it. when the finds herself called upon to runlince the garrisons of the Seven Islands." PROSECUTION Ob' SIR FR.INCIS BURDETT. Mr. Brooks applied on Thursday Air further time to give the answer which the Secretary of State desired with respect to Sir Francis Burdett's letter, and the time originally granted, and which was only for two days, was extended until Monday.
