LAW OF DI4TRESS AND REPLEVIN. Mr. JEPHSON rose to Atiove for a Bill to amend .thg law of distresses and replevins, in certain cases, pursuant so his notice of motion. The Hon. Member said, that as glie inconveniences of the present state of the law of reple ,./in were so generally admitted, it would be necessary to trouble the House with but very few observations on the subject, awl those only to point out the pecahar hardships which affeet ti t peasantry of Ireland in this respect, and the effects which he conceived. them to have had upon their daracter. To the wealtWer few Who can seek protection from this law, it is so expriai/jej sb.alilatory, and so open to vexatious litigation, thakt they would rather suffer a partial injury than seek such redress. The consequences have been, as might be collected. The people, gliding themselves without redress from law , have been obliged Ao protect themsdves lry laeang within aheir , reach—lew cun ning, (raw!, and violence. The general pressure of the ,evil has prothiced combinations fol mutual defence, and ien such combinations take place, t h:. --- question of riellt an d wrong is soon lost sight of Before sp ea ki ng o f t h e replevli.., it would be quite impossible entirely' to over look the taw of distress ; it subjects the tenant, to much fraud and ty r anny on the part of the landlord, Mere was no Beale of fees to be charged on the distres s; I, ‘ „ t the greatest evil was, that the entire property of the poor . man might be seized anti wiad for one-third, one-fourth, or any fractional portion of its ,valsie,.,..-probably purchased in by the landlord or his agent or ,bailiff, c; some relation, was quite contrary to the original inters; fan of the law; it admitted the pledge to be taken : then, family); that this only injured the tenant without benefitting the landlord, it allowed to the latter the pledge or its value, so that only one penalty was imposed on non-payment Of rent. He wished in some degree ro assimilate the law of Ireland to that of England. It had been found to work foi the benefit of landlord and tenant. Nor did he see any such raarked distinction between our tenantries which should render the assimilation impracticable. As to the replevin, he would merely make a few observations. There are laws which require sheriffs to appoint deputies to grant replevin in the most convenient situations in their coun ties. These laws are generally evaded. It appear* from a paper which he moved for during the Session, that out of thirty-two counties, twenty-five have no deputies, three have one, one has two, three have four : so that a poor man may have to travel 3$ or 40, nay 50 miles, to the county town where the Sheriff resides. Nor was this alL' He must take in two persons to become his se curities ; they probably would be unknown to the sheriff and refused, or perhaps his affidavit of value may not please the sheriff. He (Mr. Jephson) had known a man sent back twenty-five miles, because the affidavit of the value contained the valuation in figures instead of being entirely in writing; thus the possibility of getting justice was denied at the threshold. There are many counties in Ireland where sheriff's replevin* are not known. The tenant is here obliged to sue a Chancery replevin. In only six or seven counties are sheriffs' courts known, and only in three or four of them are suits carried to issue and execution. So that the people aregenerally left to the remedy enjoyed by the people of this country before the reign of Henry 111. The "festinum remedium" of replevin by plaint is unknown to them. He desired to ask any gentleman acquainted with the law, wiiether under such circumstances, he would advise a tenant to replevy ? The probable loss, with ever so good a case, would be from 601. to 1001. Would any gentleman, acquainted with our Irish tenantry, say that 99 out of 100 could afford this ? —Would the House say that the law affords pro tection to this people? As to the Bill which he had in troduced last year, he was by no means wedded to it ; his desire was to draw* attention to the subject. He preferred referring his Bill to a committee up stairs. It• it should be taken' up by abler hands, his object would he gained. Mr. S. RICE said, nothing snore required correction than the law as it at present stood, between the land lord and tenant, and therefore he should . second the motion. He thought that the Honourable Member however ought to wait until he saw the Sheriffs' Bill which would soon be before the House, as then he might take care that none of the provisions might clash. Leave was then given to bring in the Bill. A Message was brought front the Lords stating, that the Royal As4ent had been given to the Westminster Sessions Bill. Mr. Secretary PEEL presented two petitions against the Repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts ; one from the Magistrates and other inhabitants of Bolton in the Moors, and the other trona the Clergy of the Diocese of Canterbury. Although he differed from the petitioners us to the course which it was adviseeble to pursue, yet he felt bound to present their petition. He had also to observe, that both petitions concurred in expressing sentiments of high respect for the Protestant Dissenters. The petitions were then laid on the table. The Passengers Regulation Bill was read a third time and passed. The other Orders of the Day ,were then disposed .of, and the House adjourned at a Quarter . past Five. THE ELECTORS OF SUDBURY.-RE TIREMENT OF MR. WILKS. On Monday evening the electois of Sudbury re sident in London, attended at the White Hart Inn, Bishopsgate, in consequence of an invitation by cir cular letter, to meet J. N. Macleod, Esq., a gentle man understood to be of highly respectable family and fortune, who has come forward as a candidate for a - seat iri Parliament, which. will shortly be va cant by the retirement of John Wilks,Esq. jun., from public life, and his resignation as one of the Re pmsentetives of the ancient , and loyal borough of Sudbury. The retirement of Mr, John Wilks, jun. has not yet been announced to the public; and as it may, perhaps, be the last time on which they will haVe occasion to hearof him, it:will not, perhaps; be unac ceptable to preface the account of the circumstances of his retirement, by a short retrospective statement of some leading circumstances in his early public career, which are not generally known. Before 1823 he had so little professional business, that 40 endeavoured to obtain money and popular pity as an author, lie wrote a patriotic life of the late Queen, also a biographical dictionary of pious people. He paid great attention to the Dissenters, awl hgered. in the Evangelical Magazine -in which he inserted an aavertlsement, expressing his-willing ness, upon a payment of ksaitable-premitim, to ad mit into his family, as an articled-clerk, a youth of pious ways, provided it could be shown satisfacto rily that he had received -a sound religious educa tion from his parents. Mr. Wilks also, a 3 the pub lic are already aware, endeavo u red to tat up a joint stock company, to obtain the due observance of the Sabbath by enforcing the laws passed for that pur pose in the reigns of Elizabeth and Charles I. His merits were not, however, appreciated by the sects in wbo,se peibs he walked, His activity was, per haps, too great far them, and being straitened in cir s cumstances and indisposed to welt for the sitcceSs which otherwise ha would no doubt have obtained in that line, towards - 182+ he started another pros JO, for a joint stock company of a different charac .ter. This was pentrived, and it succeeded. Scheme efter scheme followo, until the end of 4524, when he found, himself surropnded 1 - ? y Minister of State, Members of parliainept, 4 large portion of the aristocracy, who, with mercl,, , rds end hankers, courted his favour and patronage in the bestow a l pt'tkepterships, &c. &c., in joint stock compa nies, the ineeppliuis of which, as they never .had been, there was no retise l n to apprehend ever would be, exposed to public gaze by . the ipteF. 7 ferenee of the press. In the year mentioned, he had 4 sumptuously . furnished town house in New Broe4-street ; was possessed also of a splendid mansion at wheee h.? kept three carriages and fourteen eurriage horses; four pgp'44s fa r equestrian establishment alone, and a cm:respondin g ninnber for the interior of what may be called his pitlace. The Lord Chief Justice of all England, who resiged iri comparative obscurity in the same neigh bourhood, an 4 drove to town in a carriage and pair, was Often compelled to reelzp wev in order to avoid being overset by the vehicle eoint4p,sel Wilks, jun., the solicitor, who was driven to town ; ,evriage and four, frequently preceded by outriders. He gage piacely entertainments, to which men in office were not straazers, and the neighbourhood -of his residence was Crowded with the olendid equi pages of his guests. - He had and estithliShinent at ikursoate during the summer, and during the winter apartmea; et Long's Hotel, where he gave au dience to men a di,stipeti9ll at the west end of the town, and , thrice accredited end supremely happy was the member who could win his smile of 'oecogs lotion when he joined the ride in . the Park. At this period it was proudly declared in Parliament, that the stable piesp r erity of the companies of his formation was eqtuil tO £h ,t of the Bank of F,,gland. At Sudbury, •he was .recei:;el with open yrms. Almost every other house was decorated with his banner„ and he was returned in triumph as the firm supporter a a.? Church, and a champion of the anti-Catholics.' He then deelared to his I friends, that that was but a step to greater things; .and that within twelve months from that time they would 2e,e him possessed of power and patrOnage to reward their zeal and services. The famous meet ing of the Welch Iron Company was hisll/041(M and William Clark was his Wellington. His Par liamentary phalanx was broken. He was now " de serted in his •utmost need :" .defeat after defeat ex pelsion kilter expulsion followed, until lie had not a single company eft. It! was now beset on all sides, but he • still disputed evpry inl i of grouch with his enemies. He rallied rigorously iii lii~ House of Commons on the subject of the Cornwall and Devon Mining Company. He made his last desperate effort :a the Court of Chancery, to compel the payment •of . 0,0004 Cron; the Directors of the latter Company. Being defeated there, nos having fail in Os efforts to establish a weekly paper called the Tory, which _was to depend for support chiefly on the manner in which j,L ;4vacated the policy !lanctioned by Lord Eldon and the hue 'Marquis of Londonderry, he was reduced to a state of the greatest financial embarrassments, and was only preserved by the exercise of his Parliamentary privileges from imprisonment for debt Having lost all the money he had made, he stood little chance of regaining confidence or professional' ployment in the city, where success is considered the best evidence of merit. He was now deprived of all resources, and he wandered through Wales, with what design is unknown. A few days ago an advertisement appeared in the Times,- from a Welsh innkeeper, giving notice that a gig, which had been left.in pawn by Mr. Wilks, jun., would Jie sold for the payment of a bill which he had contracted, un lesS it was forthwith discharged. A respectable member of his family, it is generally stated, a few weeks since consented to give him a small annuity, on condition that he quitted this country and re mained abroad. The fact is well known, that shortly afterwards he sold the books in his office, converted all he could into money, and,. like another The mistocles, deprived an ungrateful country of his presence. We can also state the - fact, that in th e early part of th e week, lettera have been received from him at-various Joint.Stock.Companies, offering, on payment ofsmall sums ofmoney, to give up papers which he had in his possession, belonging to them, and which he should otherwise sell as waste paper. One requested the advance of so small a sum as 21., which was to be directed to " Monsieur Wilks, Bruges." It is rumoured. that, for an adequate consideration, he bus signed an acceptance of the Chiltern hundreds. The writ for a new election is daily expected. It was in the certainty of this event that the elec tors of Sudbury were now invited to meet the gen tleman who has Ltarted as a candidate for the vacant seat. Major Brown took the- Chair. .He was sup ported on his right by .the candidate. The large room of the White Hart was filled with electors, who. sat down to a substantial super, of which they partook without evincing any delicacy or restraint, though it was not mentioned in the letter of invita tion as one of the inducements. The majority of, the electors were evidently of the lowest class of. mechanics or day-labourers. After the customary manifestations of loyalty and patriotism, Sudbury was honoured with a toast. . The CHAIRMAN, in an appropriate speech, intro duced to them the candidate us a. gentleman who, from the _respectability- of his family and the inde pendence of his fortune, from the soundness of his political principles, his talent,. . and industry, was cal culated to do them honour as their representative. Mr. MACLEOD came forward, and was received with much applause.. He made warm- professiens, in general terms, of his desire tca serve them, and be connected with them as their representative. He declared himself a stanch supporter of the present administration so long as they did not swerve from the line of policy which they now pursued, and he avowed that he was hostile to the Catholic Claims. These professions were received by the electors with cordial - marks of approbation. Mr. ISAAC DUCE then rose to address the. Meeting. It may perhaps be recollected that this was the indi vidual who took, the.most active part in various meetings of the, electors of Sudbury, held soon after the return of Mr. John Wilks, jun, to enforce the payment from him of what they called their legal ex penses. Mr. Duce, one of Mr. Wilks's most active supporters, then declared he had been deceived in common with the:rest, and he endeavoured to appease his brother electors by making exposures. He had not, however, up to the present time, .regained the confidence of the whole of his brother electors; for no sooner had he expressed his intention of making observations and putting questions to the candidate, than a scene of the utmost violence and uproar ensued. He leaped on the, table, put his arms a-kimbo, and calmly expressed a determination .to wait until he had tired down.all opposition. The CHAIRMAN begged in vain that Mr. Duce might be heard. The candidate repeatedly requested as a favour to himself that Mr. Duce might be heard, An elector, who sat on the right. of the candidate, exclaimed, " that. they were willing to hear 41r. DuCe as a matter of indulgence." ' Mr. DUCE spurned the word indulgence,' and charged the elector whO made the offer with cor ruption. • The Eleetor--"If you don't- behave youa4lf, Master Duce, I'm if we don't have you turned out. There, now ! that's coming to the point: We'll have no iereve/ant Matter here." • The friends of the candidate, seeing, perhaps, no probability of obtaining a restoration of order, not to lose time, began to solicit the eleCtors, and to shake bands with them almost in dumb show, ex pressing to them how deeply they felt the honour of the attendance of so respectable, so independent, and so enlightened a body of men. Several as. sured the candidate of their votes, as they be lieved him to be a " good 'un." Io an interval AO occurred, by stepped forward and addressed them,- 4 Gentlemen, I *beg to propose a toast, which you will all drink - with great pleasure, " May the poor man"—(" Silence !" vociferated an elector at the table ; " silence, while the gentle man's speaking.") " May the poor man "—(s Si lence, yoo at t'other end of the room.")—" May the poor man never wept a shilling!" This sentiment was unanimously aPplauded; and the candidate hay . - ipg obtained some abatement of the noise, be again proceeded to address them. Nothing, lie said, could exceed the kind manner iii which he had been re ceived. Had he gone amongst brothers, he could not have been received with . more kindness.. He promised them ail upoo his honour, that whether they went down to vote for him or not, the whole of their travelling expenses should be paid.—(Loud applause.) He would on their behalf, and as their representative, oppose the d-1 himself.—(A laugh.) f‘ Then you must be a good nu," said one of th e .• - , An Elector—But you would like an opposition, would you not ? . The Candidate—No. No can didate likes an opposition. I hope I shall be able to do without one. The Elector—But all electors like an opposition. (Much 14ughter.) Mr, MT agi4 appeared the table, when the uproar was resumed. Two men attempted repeatedly to throw off Mr. Duce, but were dragged back. More liquor and tobacco was brought in, when there was a short scramble for it ; but as SOOT) as it disappeared the clamour was renewed.' It vi r us now, however, occa sioned chiefly by dispiites with each other. Seeral attempted to dislodge him..by applying lighted can- dles to his person; but he kicked them out of their htinds. He stood op the alert, holding pp his coat-, laps as high as he could, to prevent assailants in the rear seizing them and tearing them off. At length two men seized him, and threw themselves off the table with him, and they fell with him upon them, :;.no4;ing down several others with a degree of vio lence from which loss of life or the fracture of limbs might have been expected; but he rose again with surprising activity, and With a . triurnphant air resumed his place on the table. He was again dislodged in a similar- rnqnpoi, I,yhen down came men, bottles, and glasses altogether. He was still uppermost, and resumed his plaCeoyer tie siirawling electors, none of whom appeared to be hurt. Two of he assailants haying exchanged chance blows, mistook each other for adversaries, and a set-to took place between them, which created a diversion. The Candidate now took his hat and left the room. The chair was previously abandoned. - The crash of a table and the fall of a glass was heard at the oppo ite end, where perhaps there was more boxing. The waiters 'bestirred' iheths'elves to got hottles, bowls, and glasses out of the way. Mr. Duce re mained muster of the field, though surrounded by a number who were inebriated, and threatening or sup porting him. ' Our reporter , quitted the room whilst the land lord and waiters were endeavoring to separate two combatants who were uncoated ready far . a fight. Subsequently, we haye learned that the whole of the electors dispersed without any material injury having been oceasioned., Viscount PA.LNIERSTON and Mr. Secretary PEEL visited Mr. Husicissost yesterday, at his residence in Downing -street. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From tin Gazette de Prance of Tuesilay March 25, TRIESTE, MARCH .12.—The Captain of a ship Which has arrived in twenty-one days from Alex andria, brieis news that twenty days before his de parture,- an Egyptian. squadron, consisting of twenty men of war, frigates, corvettes, and brigs, with many transports and provisions of all kinds, had sailed, as it was said, for Candle, but it is believed that it was destined for Navarin. The ship of the line with the wounded on board, from Navarin, had at length ar rived at Alexandria, where two French frigates and one English were still stationed. (From the Moniteur of Monday, March 24.) MILAN, MAFCH 16.—We expect here very shortly M. de Ribeaup:erre, who is going from Trieste to Florence, by very short stages, his lady being very far advanced in pregnancy. Some Major-Generals having lately-been allowed t o re ti re , we h ave ob served- with much pleasure that five Italian Colo nels have been chsen to replace them • two in the cavalry, and three in the infantry. We hear of no movement in the eorps of the Austrian army, which has evacuated the kingdom of Naples, and which still remains on the war . establishment, in its posi tion on the banks of the Po. • • • (From the Constitutionnel of Monday.) • AFFAIRS OF THE EAST. PARIS, MARCH' 24.- , -Though the. Ottoman Mani festo had appeared, men with confined views con tended that the question was still the same--that of Greece and the Treaty of July. We, however, do not - hesitate to, consider it a declaration of war against Russia; and we may believe that hostilities :have either commenced, or are on point of com meacing. :Some persons, however, wish to persuade them delves that, the ungovernable genius. of Mahmoud, under the influence of fear, will abandon its preten sions to Greece, and will leave France, England, and Austria free to regulate the movements which lead the inhabitants of the frozen banks of the Newa towards:the convenient climate of Rornelia, and the opulent shores 'of' the Bosphorus. The people of Mahmoud, are, however, accustomed to:see in Greece a portion of sacred _territory; funatacism . forbids a disgraceful cession 113 sacrilege. Ibrahim Paella will never leave his.prey.except through necessity. .In such a state. of things we:can easily conceive the fears and embarrassments of the Cabinets. What will be said to Russia, insulted in Europe, provoked in Asia by the Turkish Government ? • Russia, sheav ing itself in all the plenitude of its strength and rights, would answer, " The Treaty of the 6th of July only regards Greece ; make that your business; it has, however, nothing in common with the outrage I have received, with the aggression of which I am the object; that concerns me alone: no previous engagement imposes any obligation on me with re-. spect to it. I will act as a power careful of its in terests and jealous of its honour." It would re quire 300,000 men under arms, and a declaration of war, to weaken such an argument. That chance will not be risked. First, the situation of England is entangled with the events of Lisbon. Whatever may be said, she will preserve her influence in Portugal--a part of her strength and attention will be employed there. Austria is not in a state to hold determined lan guage at St. Petersburgh : she is afraid of Italy, as despotism is never certain : she would wish to (sun alliances, but her diplomatic manoeuvres will end in nothing. In the present state of Europe nO 'coali tion can be found capable of disturbing Russia, which has been preparing, for the last half century, to pass the Danube; and she will do so. ••• - If France be directed by a great and wise policy, she - may play a magnanimous part worthy of her ' greatness. It would suffice to allow .England to finish the affairs of Lisbon, rather than Co undertake. the enfranchisement of Greece. We cannot prevent 4nsSia from measuring its fanaticism with' that of tfie Ottomans; but we cart, and it will be glotious' for us, save Greece, insure her independence, and raise her nobly repaired from her ruins ; and thus increase, by legitimate means, the influence abroad which we have preserved. We ought to desire, as friends of humanity, that Turkish barbarity should be exiled to Asia. This contest, however, between Russian discipline and Mussulman, despair will [resemble no other than a war of extermination. The Turks- fight for .exist ence, and may in those countries be exterminated but not conquered. How many fatigues, battles, and vicissitudes, must there take place, before the Great Cross of Ivan will rise on the dome of St. Sophia,,if such at least is the decree of fate, which is not yet pronounced! Supposing England enlightened as to its own in terests, no difference can arise between its policy and that of France. England must accustom her self to see us in all foreign questions consult our in terest, ogr national honour. Both require that Greece should be freed from the rapacity of Ibra him; there NAiould be more than cacophony; there would be cowardice in not fulfilling promises given, and in net realising hopes raised. The moment has Now arrived for Franco to show herself what she should be with a powerful Administration—full of confidenee in herself, and powerful from her liberty. (From the Journal des Debuts of Monday:) PARES, MARCH 24.—England at length appears to understand its true position with respect to Por tugal. There is no longer any means of colouring the principle of non-intervention with new hesita tions. Her battalions will got assist with arms in their hands, in the usurpation of Don Miguel. This ridiculous issue of the occupation of Portugal would cover with shame the Cabinet, which is sufficiently weak to give-way to every event it fears, from the mere alarm lest it should be followed by a still more deplorable event. By continual sacrifices to general peace, we should end by rendering it more mournful than war. pnglimd did not renounce the right of interfering even in the institutions of Portugal : this principle is too essentially conservatory to deny its wisdom and utility. The course of Sir F. Lamb appears to have imprinted on the English policy a very different course from that followed by Sir NV: A'Cohrt. on a difficult occasion, exceeded his powers; ordered the embaritation of the troops to be stopped; and that vigorous determination was applauded at Loll don, Moreover a Courier from England has brought still further pow ers t o th e English Ambassador to continue the 'troops in Portugal.

It appears that the Hon.

Shortly after his arrival he had an interview with the PA CIIA, for whom the CI atep brought, letters from his son, IBRAHIM PA C HA, in the Algxea.

The PActLA, at all events, continued to act in every respect as the faithful ally of the SULTAN. Several store-ships, with a strong escort of vessels of war, and supposed to be destined for Candia, left Alexandria early in February.

His MAJESTY holds a Levee to-day, which is attended with all the splendour, and magnifi« cence of equipage becoming the SOVEREIGN of a great and powerful Empire. It gives ni un feigned pleasure to add, that his MAJESTY'S health is considerably improved. The Fre►lch Papers last received contain no yng really new in the shape of political genre. It is said, on the authority of a Cap tainof twenty men arrived at Trieste in twenty-on e d a y s from Alexandria, that 20 days bef ore h e sa il ed, squadron, crvettesbrigs, consisting and many t ran s po oalfi r ‘ t vE s agr h y a pf dsailed rtiiga: tes'o for Nayarit . % with provisions but we do not believe this to be true, because that would make their departure to be about the Ist of February, and they would have arrived long ago at Navariu, from which we have . had late accounts, which make no mention of such a force. The fact we believe to be, that the shattered roma.", of: the Navarin expediti o n which had arrived Alexandria, are me an t, an d n ot a fresh fleet . •is which has sailed. Besides," it riot likely that the Pacha of E g ypt would again risk his ' vessels to Navarin in a hostile attitude, after . the severe chastisement which he has lately ic received, at .The French Papers pretend to make a grt at display about the honour, liberty, and power their nation, and insinuate that England will find enough to do in settling the affairs of Portugal, without interfering in those of Greece, which ought to be left to the heroic care o f the French Government, The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 20th instant, says that the Post of the 11th, as well as that of . the 25th ult, which had-become due, had not OP the 15th instant arrived at Yienna, from Qon stantinople, both being, no doubt, stilt detained by the floating ice on the Danube. When the dangers of that passage are once removed, we shall have an accumulation of news from the East, and that to a late date. An article under date of Geneva, March 14, does tardy justice to the' merits of Lord Coci4 , RANE, while in the service, of Greece.. No man can doubt, had his Lordship had but any thing like competent means, that he would have destroyed' the Turkish navy,, and have rendered the further operations of the invader useless, by cutting off all supplies. It is said in the same article, that 'BRA", HIM PACIIA has sent thousands of young girls and, women from the Morea to Egypt as,slavPs, .c . witbout any obstruction or remonstrance from the `Allied Admirals. B ut this must surely be a mistake, for the Admirals have distinctly ex pressed their determination to resist .any such barbarous proceedings ; and the manly avowal , of Mr. PEEL, the other night, in the House of Commons, is a sufficient, guarantee against such cruelty being perpetrated. It has long been the policy of. the Turks to prevent, the growth of population in Greece, and we can give them full credit for carrying such a diabo lical intention as the above into efrect, did not. the avengers of Navarin defeat their cowardly purpose. It were well, for the cause of huma nity that the battle of Navarin were followed up with spirit, in order that an end might be put to a clandestine system of war which must, after all, be finished by a direct appeal to coercive measures; The Turks have all along been playing at the game of duplicity, and should now be taught the virtues of plain dealing. Where words have lost their efficacy, conviction should be enforced by the sword:— VIENNA, MARCH 16. Up to this evening we have not received the Mail from Constantinople of the 11th of February, nor that of the • 25th, which ought now to be here. Metalliques, 90 ; Bank Shares, 1,028. BUCHAREST, MARCH 1. The assurance which our Hospodar has received front Constantinople, that the Porte will in no case send any , • troops into the principalitie's, has given much satisfaction here, because it is hoped that the Russians will be thereby deprived of every pretext, and that an advance of their' ~army into our country would be a real aggression. At •, ' leasta great part of the Boyards entertain this notion, and ,y praise the policy of the Divan. •I<z CRXXV,..4, sise.cu 14. • . Dr.•Gosse has sent a v e r y detailed report on the pre sent state of Greece, in which there are many interesting particulars of Lord Cochrane. He says-- " Lord Cochrane completed his 52d year among us. His conduct is above all praise; .his cthn judicious con duct, his independence of all parties, have alienated the Greeks from him. In the transactions I have had with him I could not but admire his noble and generous way of thinking—his frank, and yet mild manners, have attached me to him. The papers which he has put into my hands fully convinced me of his disinterestedness and his strict probity, and increased my respect for him. I do not • know whether any injustice was done him in England ; but I do know that Greece ought to congratulate itself as having acquired his services. That he has committed - faults and mistakes cannot be denied ; but they have origi nated in his too great good nature, and too easy confidence. It he has performed nu brilliant exploits in Greece, as Lie for gottengthare he i e o n h a n d a had induced very slender us resourcest o hope, it at h must isd s u p 09 a mt be t t t hree thatp G u r t e a ek a re still too ill disciplined. Yet he has donblkid the national marine, and has destroyed as many Turkish ships as he has added to the Greek fleet. The resources of Greece are by no means so inconsiderabl e as is gene rally supposed, if things were only administered better and , , more honestly. But in this department, as in every other, there is so much disorder, or rather absence of all order,. that the revenues do not produce a sixth part of what they might otherwise do. The revenues of the islands in the' Archipelago are allotted to the support of the fleet. They were formerly farmed out for 95,000 Turkish piastres every six months. I have raised them to 430,000 fur the same. period." According to other private letters which have been re ceived here from Greece, the greatest grief and consterna 7 Lion prevails there in consequence of Ibrahim's having sent thousands of young girls and women from the Noma to, Egypt as slaves, without even a word from the Allied Ad mirals or a signal from their ships to hinder him. Yet the intention of the Turks to execute this cruel purs pose could not be unknown, because it had been long before the subject-of loud lamentations through the whale Peloponnesus and in the Islands. The Greeks therefore believe that the instructions of the Admirals have been changed since the battle of Navarin, so that they cannot. now oppo se suc h enormities. By the French Papers, received this morning, we Warn that they write from Lisbon of the• 12th of March, that a report prevailed there of Don MiGuEL:s intention to make a tour into. the provinces; but it is stated the English Am-- bassador will retire the moment he leaves the' capital.
