eulatiOns ; now we are sometimes many weeks w ith o ut rain on the Island, which is the case now, and we are using part of the stock on hand, which is a proof of the correctness of what I have above stated. When tanks are built, and pipes laid down, no doubt great quantities of water will be secured, not only through the springs but caught direct as it falls. Some of my com rades are very sanguine on this head, and appear assured that ample supplies will accrue. I really have not experience enough to be enabled to form any speculation on the subject, and would much rather rely on their judgment. Now, supposing the worst, namely, that all that can be done will fall short of establishing the wished for supply, bow is the deficiency to be remedied ? To a nswer this, it is necessary to take a more extended view of the object to be accomplished, and the means of doing so. That it will always be necessary to have a British naval force in these seas, I am fully convinced; whether it be war or peace ; the late missions into Africa and the anxious wishes of the great leading chiefs to form commercial relations with us, through those great highways of nations, rivers, open a most ex tended and advantageous field for legitimate speculation ; no coast presents greater induce ments to British spirit and commercial energy, than this long despised one, with its trampled on And suffering inhabitants.

" The garrison had their lives spared. Colonel Fabvier and the other Philhellenes obtained permis sion to go wherever they pleased. " The few Greeks who remained in the Pirteus with General Church have either dispersed or with drawn. " The Bavarian officers, except Colonel Heidegger, have Quitted the service of the Greeks. " Ibrahim Pacha was at Patras, where he had re ceived a reinforcement of cavalry. 4 fr " The Lausanne Gazette announces that troubles have broken out in Appenzell : the inhabitants of I the Rhodes interior, who have long been in an agitated state, committed on the 18th of June various acts of violence. The exhortations of the magistrates were disregarded; some of them, it is said, experienced personal ill-treatment, and have re signed their offices. The Government being wholly unable to make itself respected, has required the as sistance of the federal authority. • "We learn at the same time, that the Council of i State of Zurich, as directing Canton, had an extra ordinary meeting on the morning of the .22d of June, on the arrival of the despatches, and appointed Landamman Sydler, of Zug, to re-establish pub lic order at Appenzell. " Private letters from St. Peters - burgh say, that She departure of Count Capo d'lstria was to be fixed in the first fortnight of this month. It is said that his Excellency will proceed first to Odessa, then to Greece. So many reports have been spread respecting the journey of this statesman, and his future destination, that we must watt for facts before lire can believe any thing. It is said that the fleet at Cronstadt will sail in July. As the object of the expedition is riot unknown to the crews, the men who compose them are said, by an eye-witness, to be animated by extraordinary enthusiasm. " IMPORTANT NOTICE.

All was quiet in Mexico. ” MEXICO AND CENTRAL AMERICA.--A file of Vera Cruz papers to the sth of May, for which we are indebted to Captain Skinner, who has arrived from that port. They contain the news of a victory gained in Central America, by the Government troops over the rebels from St. Salvador. The battle was fought on the 22d of April, near Guate mala, and lasted two hours. The rebels lost their cannon, above 200 muskets, 73 prisoners, 50 killed, &c. The President commanded in person, and riarebed on towards St. Salvador. (From the Norfolk Beacon.) ‘‘ MEXfCO3 APRIL 14.—Letters from Chiapa, un der date of the 28th of March, present us with the following melancholy and distressing account of the state of anarchy which reigns throughout our sister republic of Guate.Tala. Th e f o ll ow i n g i s a brief translation of an extract from one of those letters; it dated the 15 t h o f larch The misfortunes of Guatemala still continue una b a ted. Our city is hourly threate ned b y a Sal vadorean corps of 2,000 rebels, headed by the fo reigner Roul, who, with a view of attacking the capital, has taken up a position at Coginicullapa, (distant eight or ten leagues from Guatemala) , -whence he demands the restoration of the former aomi b a uthorities. The President, cc pan Gene ral Cascaras , a n d a body of 600 men, ed with nine pieces of artillery, marched hence this morning. We are in momentary expectation of the arrival of Don Thomas Sanches, with a division of 1,000 sol di.,:rq, now on their return from Chinquimule, whither t h e oiovements of the enemy had at first directed the co arse : 300 infantry are likewise looked for under thr: command of Quesaltenango.

" SOUTH AMERICA.—From the St. Thomas's ;;Itc.; of the 12th of May, received at Norfolk, we learn that advices from Maracaybo had been received there, that Carthagena, Santa Martha, Bogota, and ihe.eastern part of Venezuela, had declared for a federal form of government. Colonel J. S. Lopez, who was implicated in the late disturbances at Cu mana, has been banished for ten years. The arrival at Bogota of Generals Laras, Sanders, and others, who were sent prisoners by a division of the Colom bian army, is confirmed. (From the New Orleans Advertiser of May 10.) " By the schooner Hound, Captain Tucker, from Tampico, we have been favoured with the following extract of a letter, and a copy of the remonstrance of Mr. Robertson, our Consul at Tampico, sent to the commander of the Bolivar, to which Captain Tucker informs us he returned a very insolent answer. " We are informed by passengers, direct from the city of Mexico, that the insurrection had been en tirely suppressed, and that the principal leader, Joa quim Arenas, was under sentence of death. The Mexican Congress was in session. " Extract of a letter dated Tampico, April 25 : Yesterday arrived off this port the Colombian pri vateer sloop Bolivar, having in company, as her prize, the American schooner Antoinette, Captain Bateman, from Mobile, bound to this port. The .captain of the privateer has sent in a note to the consignee, Mr. J. Harmony, of New York, giving him 36 hours to ransom the vessel. Captain► Bate man states that he has been cruelly treated, and was threatened several times to be hung. Mr. Robert son, the American Consul, has addressed a letter to !aim ; and it is to be hoped that our Government will again put a stop to such unlawful acts of the Colombian cruisers.' " COLO_►IBIA.—As we are daily in expectation of news from the Congress of Colombia, which was on the eve of commencing their session at our last dates from Bogota, our anxiety continues to learn the re sult of their deliberations on the subjects of the highest interest to the country. A private letter from Laguayra, published in the newspapers, ex presses an opinion that they will not accept of Boli var's resignation of the presidency. As we know nothing of the authority on which the opinion is founded, we do not allow it any weight; but, judg ing from the great dissatisfaction which we know prevails in some part of the republic against the Bolivian Constitution, we should form a very dif ferent expectation. " A gentleman in this city informs us, that he learns by a letter, that orders have been given to prevent General Laras from going to the capital. It will be recollected that we published, two or three weeks since, an account of the counter-revolution at Lima, in which this officer, who commanded the Colombian troops there, was sent off for Bogota. As he was a favourite of Bolivar's, it can hardly be supposed that the Vice-President would authorise such a step if he had imagined the Congress would keep the Liberator invested with the chief power. Bolivar was on his way to Bogota ; but at the last dates the oppressions practised on the mer chants in the ports were still causes of loud com plaint. " THE UNITED STATES AND BRAZIL—From the following article, extracted from the National Journal, there is every reason to believe that the promptitude of our Government has brought the Brazilian representative now in Washington into a proper temper and condition. This is right and proper. It will command the approbation of the country. The citizens of this country have suffered much from the injustice and tyranny of the Brazilian authorities. It may not have required any great armament to bring them to their proper bearings ; but the weakness of Brazil was no reason that the , United States should submit tamely to their insults and injustice. It is now generally conceived that the empire of Brazil is a sort of an Algerine colony in this hemisphere. We must treat her, therefore, as we have already treated that power. About seven or eight years ago, when the American Consul was poniarded at Tripoli, Joseph Caramelli, the Pacha, heeded not his remonstrances for redress. Commo dore Stewart, however, as good luck would have it, sailed into the harbour of Tripoli one day, and on baiog mauls accpsaitttecV- witivtfu muter. delpanded instant satisfaction, on the pain of having their town bombarded. This did the business. The Pacha bustled quickly—vologized,and bastinadoed the bravo who had committed the outrage on the American Consul. The United States squadron at Rio Janeiro should have similar powers to those given to the commanders on the Algerine station. The Republic must teach these crowned heads that neither her Hag nor her representative is to be insulted with impunity. " The National Journal of Thursday says,— ' There have been lately frequent conferences be tween Mr. Clay and Mr. Rebello, the Charge l'Affaires of his Majesty the Emperor of Brazil, and several official notes have passed, in relation to a late unpleasant incident at Rio de Janeiro. We are told that such satisfactory assurances have been made as will preserve the friendly relations between the two countries.' " COMMERCIAL.

" On Monday last the wind blew very strong in the neighbourhood of Three Rivers. A raft, in going down, was wrecked at St. Jean de Chaillons, and, melancholy to relate, 16 of the hands perished. Only two were saved." BOSTON, JUNE s.—The great meeting of growers and manufacturers of wool in Massachusetts, was held this day in the Representative Chamber of the Capitol. The meeting was addressed by Mr. Lewis Tappan, Mr. Abbot Lawrence, Honourable Edward Everett, Hon. H. G. Otis, Mr. Shepherd, and Mr. Jonas Brown. They contended for the necessity of supporting manufactures as beneficial to every in stance of the whole union. It is principally by them that New England is able to pay for the numerous cargoes of flow, tobacco, rice, cotton, and sugar, which she imports iron the south, and the a r ti c l e s she imports from foreign countries. The tonnage of American vessels now engaged in the coasting trade nearly equals the tonnage engaged in (my foreign trade in the times of our commercial prosperity, The former is now about 7.90,000 tons; the latter was about 900,000 tons. The meeting was held on propositions foul the m Pennsylvania Society foe promoting Domestic Manu factures and the Mechanic Arts, and resolutions were passed, concurring in the views of that Society, and Delegates to a National Convention to be held at Harrisburgh, Pennsylvania, July 30. The opinions of the south were treated with deference, but a hop e expressed of their conviction eventually, that a sustaining encouragement to American manufactures Was promotive of the interest of the southern planter. The Commanders of the British merchant vessels under seizure at Rio, on the loth of March last, addressed the following note to Coridy Raguet, Esq. late American Charge d'Affaires at the Glut of Brazil, to which he made a suitable reply 5 1R —We, the undersigned masters of British vessels detcLit7,el.l in this port by the Brazilians, un derstanding you are about to leave this country—on the one hand, regret your leaving is in the present dilemma in which we are placed, and from which your indefatigable and daily exertions added so much towards a speedy and general release; but we, on the other hand, heartily congratulate you, and beg you will a ccept of our sincere thanks, Wishing you a speedy and pleasant passage to your native land, and a happy meeting of your friends, we beg leave to subscribe ourselves your much obliged and very bumble servants.

NEW YoßK.—CorroN.—The Canada arrived on Monday with Liverpool advices to May Ist, showing limited sales there the preceding week, and a shade decline.

We have heard of mixed lots going as low as 74 and 74 cts., and others of good quality as high as eight cents. The demand for middling and common descriptions of Louisiana and Mississippi have rather improved, without any advance in price, and are now scarce.

EMIGRATION.—The emigrants to America from Great Britain have been unusually numerous this spring. Several ships which have arrived in our port within the last month have been freighted with them. The Government of that country have made extensive arrangements for sending over, at its own expense, a great number of those who may be in clined to emigrate to the Canadas, having appropri. ated from the public funds so much as would take out to Upper Canada 6,000 emigrants from Scotland 6,000 from Ireland, and 4,000 from England. The number of persons in Scotland, who petitioned to be taken to Canada is stated at 18,000. The Lord s o f the Treasury also have issued orders that all restric tions which interfere with the free emigration of the King's subjects from Ireland, shall be suspended; Pas , u-napAr.

It is said that those sent out at the expence of Govern ment are to be exclusively weavers, which will, of course, lessen the distress in Great Britain. We hope that they may not be disappoint e d in their golden expectations of this country, but a pprehend that such an immense number of settlers will be greatly distressed before they can secure to them selves comfortable living in a new country by agri culture—a profession for which, by their former pursuits, they are totally unfitted. GREECE. The following is General Church's account of the late battle between the Greeks and the Turks, from which it will be seen what the hopes of the Greek cause are. THE BATTLE OF THE ACROPOLIS. TO THE MOST EXCELLENT ADMINISTRATIVE ComAnssiON OF GREECE. Camp of the Phalerion, May 6. EXCELLENT SlRS—With the deepest regret I ac quaint you, that a division of this army has this day been defeated by the Turkish army under the Seras kier, in an action which took place under the walls of the Acropolis of Athens, and that fortune aban doned us at the very moment of rece i v in g congratu lations upon the prospect of our being able, before night, to save the brave garrison and the unfortu nate families shut up in the Acropolis. Few com bats, considering the numbers engaged in it, have been more sanguinary than this ; and our lo xssc being en above 1,500-men, chiefly killed, as your Eell cies well know that the wounded are sacrificed in the barbarous warfare of the Turks , amongst whom of the are several of the Generals and Officers highest distinction. Your Excellencies are aware of the efforts made by me in collecting this a rmy for ' the relief of Athens. After repeated successful actions with the enemy, previous to the death of the b r ave General Karaiskaki , it was deter mined (owing to the representations of the c ritical situation of the garrison of the Ac r opo lis ) to wake a desperate attempt to relieve it, and baying con certed measures with his Excellency Admiral Lord Cochrane for his co-operation, I determined to land in the night with a corps of 3,500 men, at the church called St. George of the Three, endeavour, by a rapid movement in the i o -ht, to 'ce Athens, and liberate the Acropolis- iire surpri- v, Towers, and accordingly embarked from the camp at the ma _ lerum, and landed after a short passage, on the op posite side, the troops showing great alacrity. We marched forward, belt day-light oYertook us just as the leading column had arrived within musk et - s h o t of the Philopappus. The troo p s then took up a position forming two lines, w ith reserves f or eac h line, :10 intrenched themselves in the usual manne r of doing so; an action now commenced With the Turkish infantry, posted on a hill near the Philo pappus. The Turks, who had evidently been sur prised in the first instance, soon init s tered i n num bers, under the protection of t heir fortified heights; by degrees their cavalry arrived, and in a short time flank of our first line, accompani ed ly some P iec es of . displayed its e lf in formidable n u mb ers on t he left artillery, which commenced firing on our troops; in the mean time another, and still more for midable column of cavalry (suProsed to be the ca valry of Omer Pacha, of Negrcpon t), appeared in motion, threatening every pat of Our line: the troops of our first line behaved with great firm ness, and repulsed three attacks of cavalry, killi ng many Turks and horses; but the cortest was unequal; it soon appeared that the enemy Meditated an attack with all his cavalry, amounting to about 2,0 0 0 men; this tremendous column fell furiously on the right flank of our line, after it had suffered ff e red from the enemy's artillery; and in a few minutes cut the greater part of it in pieces. On beholding this ca tastrophe, the second line, reserves, and the rest of the army, seiied with panic, f led in all directions, nor was it possible for human 'effOrts to ptevent it , The .field of battle was soon covered with the Turkish ca valry, pursuing and cutting down the Greek sol diers; and or bright prospects of being the libe rators of Athens changed into that of being totally defeated. His Excellency Admiral Lord Cochrane had just landed, and was paying me a visit in the intrenchment, where I had fixed my head-quarters; and he was in the most imminent danger before he could re-embark. I must inform your Excellency that, early in the action; being apprehensive of the attack of the enemy's cavalry, I had ordered General TzavellaS, commanding the troops in the camp of the Phalerum, to attack the enemy, or at least to make a demonstration; but it seems that circumstances rendered it impossible for him to carry this order into effect. I had relied upon this movement, and had it been executed, it would have drawn off a con siderable portion of the enemy's army, and probably saved us from destruction. I have great reason to praise the conduct of part of the troops, many of whom maintained their posts to the last; and it is with great pain that I inform you, that the Generals Draco, Lambroveikas, Geo. Tzavellas, Fotomara, and Notara, as well as Gen. Kalergi, Chief of the Cretans, have all been killed. —The regular infantry, and their Commander, Col. Inglesy, after a noble defence, have nearly all fallen. Of the gallant little corps of Philhellenes, only four remain; and of the brave Suliots who went to the field, almost all died at their posts. I deeply deplore this heavy misfortune, but it was necessary to attempt the relief of Athens at any risk, and not to be mere spectators of its apprehended fall. Every military disposition was made to entitle us to success, but all our efforts were of no avail against the overwhelming force of the Turkish cavalry. I ani happy, however, to state, that a considerable nu mber of th e f ug i t i ve s who had fled to the rocks on the sea-side were saved by the ships of the squadron. The Generals Macrigannio, N. Zervas, Botzaris, and many other officers, deserve high praise for their gallant conduct; and I have great reason to be sa tisfied with the assistance of the officers of my per sonal staff, Colonels Payne and O'Fallen. The army has made a desperate effort to save Athens; and I by no means despair of the fate of Greece from the loss of a battle, in which so many of her sons met death with the most heroic courage. I have only to add, that in spite of our disaster, I shall maintain the position of the Phalerum, and hold in check the army of the Seraskier (Kioutaki) until the concerted operations for attacking the enemy can be carried into effect. _ _ _ I feel it necessary to impress on the minds of your Excellencies, the necessity of adopting speedy and efficient measures f or su pplyi ng th e a rmy with pe cuniary and other resources; for I am convinced, that if we are assisted by very trifling supplies, all will yet go well. I have the honour to be, your Excellencies' most obedient humble servant, R. CHURCH, Commander-in-Chief. EXTRACTS from the FUNERAL ORATION extempo raneously delivered de GENERAL KARAISKAKI by the MESSOLANGHIOTE SPIRIDION, TRI- COREPY. Weep, daughters of Greece, weep for the death of Karaiskaki, who, at the bead of your brethren, has removed your garb of mourning, and recalled the smile of hope to your withered lips. He is no more —the Conqueror of Arakova, of Vilitzo, of Distomo, of Salona! He is no more ! He who but last spring was gathering flowers on Hymethis to adorn your virgin heads ! Weep, daughters of Greece, for the death of Karaiskaki, for all Greece is now weeping for it ! After the dreadful fate of Messolonghi, a dark cloud of slavery hung over Greece. From the heights of Macrynoro and the shores of Acarnania to the s acred boundaries of Athens, it covered our wretched c ountry like one vast funereal crape. Already the peloponnesus, shrouded in this new Egyptian dark ness, was about to be utterly plunged into the deso lation of death and slavery. Karaiskaki revived the courage of tho Rimeliotes. overwhelmed by the ' From his lips they heard the is nal they raise their eyes gloomily fixed on a soil sodded with the blood of their brethren, their wives and chil dren--scattered as they were throughout continental Greece, Karaiskaki rallied them under his standard of revenge and glory; and often, during the space of ten months, did he lead them on to honour and victory. His example taught his whole army to endure fa tigues and privations, which it seemed impossible for human nature to bear. Though himself ever the foremost in battle, he attributed to his comrades all the glories of victory. An enthusiastic admirer of courage, wheresoever! he found it, be honoured and rewarded it. When his sabre was unsheathed on the enemy, he called by name those whom he knew to be brav e . Having entrusted to the generosity of the frierids of Greece, his family, who had taken refuge in the little island of Calamos, he gave his last para to the wants of war. Such was Karaiskaki, citizens, soldiers, and friends of Greece ! Listen to his last words. He was borne, mortally wounded, from the field of battle, to the ship of Lord Cochrane, to re ceive the succours of art; but feeling his end ap proach, with a serene countenance and a softened voice, he thus addressed those around him, among whom were Cochrane, the High Admiral, and Church, the General-in-Chief of Greece Our country imposed upon us a noble task; I tried by the efforts of ten months to discharge my duty.

Yesterday afternoon a General Meeting of the Members of this Society was held at the offices of th e Association in Regent-street. There was in the rooms an extensive exhibition of flowers, and rare fruits of all descriptions ; and some of the most dis tinguished Members of the Society were in attend ance. - ELLIOT, Esq. in the Chair. The Report stated, that the produce of the tickets had more than liquidated the expenses incurred, and it was intended to apply the surplus towards the erection of a builfling in the Gar dens, calculated to serve the purposes of the In stitution. The Report further stated, that, con trary to the anticipations, and sanguine as they of the Committee were, the Company amounted in number to 2873, the whole number of tickets is sued being 2943. The Committee, however, wh ile observing upon the circumstances which gave such unmixed gratification, were compelled to remark upon a matter t h at was e xcepti ona bl e , an d which gave oc cas i on to some an imadve rs i on . It had been stated that th e su pply of fruit, past r y, wine, &c. was not proporti one d t o the size of the C o mpany, and that, in consequence, many of the visitors remained without accommodation in those articles. This subject was under investigation by the Council, who had stipulated with the Purveyor on the subject, and that, no doubt, the deficiency would be satisfac torily accounted for. There were several distinguished persons then ballotted for, amongst whom were the Duke of Leeds and Mr. Brougham. The Meeting then separated. A Lug LosT.—On Monday the 18th, at Barrhead, in a squabble among some drunken people, an unfortunate combatant lost his ear, Sa id bitten off by his antagoni s t. On thes id a being loss e r bein g discovered, diligent search was made for the dissevered member ; but it not being found on the field of battle, it was con cluded that the biter had bolted it, which cer tainly is an improvement on Turkish customs. — The Mussulmen cut off ears, but never eat them, so far as we know.—Paisley Advertiser. pointed only provisionalry, termed tTem "Aga dolts Ministers." The word is, we rather believe, of his own coinage ; but it is very clas sically formed, and of course, therefore, was re ceived by the country gentlemen, with tumultuous cheers. With all deference, however, to him and to them, the epithet was far less applicable to the New Administration, or to any part of it, than to the New Opposition. Hostilities, as we have said, commenced with an air of determined perseverance. The landed gentlemen took the field under the ap parent auspices of the Ex-Ministers ; the ship ping gentlemen prepared a powerful fleet of diversion ; and thus the war seemed to rage by sea and land at • once. A few throws of dust, however, quelled the mighty agitation. The opposition in substance disappeared ; and all of it that still survives, if not fugacious, is at least migratory; for it is concentrated in the person of Sir THOMAS LETHBRIDGE, and is engaged in the agreeable recreation of a family-tour on the Continent. In the House of Lords, meanwhile, it must be owned that the conflict has proved less tran sitory. Alas that such maxims and reason ings as virtually destroyed the Corn Bill, should have found a roost in the " Corinthian Capital of polished society !" And, alas, still more, that they should have been able to shelter themselves under the impe rishable name of the greatest of living warriors and captains ! It is not necessary for us to de tail the particulars, or to descant on the merits, of the Duke of WELLINGTON'S celebrated amend ment. It is not necessary for us to expose the utter futility of that measure for any purpose but that of a party advantage, or its radical inconsis tency with the principle of the Bill of which it affected only to modify the details ; still less necessary is it, that we should expatiate on the hard fate of the Bill itself, in receiving its death-blow from the disbanded Members of that very Administration who deli berately, and with much profession and prepara tion, had ushered it into existence. The subsequent history, however, of the ever-memorable, and most unamendable amend ment, is not a little curious. No sooner had it passed, than it dropped. Not one well-bred Lord" could be found, to take charge of the successful • clause, and conduct it to a practical result. When the measure, or ra ther its ghost, appeared in the House of Com mons, not one voice, not one hand, was raised in its support. Beheld in the strong light of that popular assembly, it showed so ill, as uni versally, to be either c ondemned, or deserted. Ultra-tories, landed gentlemen, mighty corn- I growers, flocked round the high-born stranger, with every disposition to afford it aid and coun tenance ; Venit et upilio, tardi venere bubulci, —but all turned away in disappointment ; and those who were not silent, contented themselves with vindicating the character of its Noble Pa rent, and celebrating the glories of the battle of Waterloo. Let it not be supposed that we are insensible to the value of that character, or of those glories. On this subject, it appears to us that the Ultra- Tory Press has dealt in much folly and injustice. Only last Sunday, the Journal which is the ac knowledged leader of that Press (and which has been certainly by merit raised to that bad eminence,) held up to censure the alleged in consistency of a popular poet, because, as the Journalist pretends, he now attacks the Duke of WELLINGTON in the columns of the Times, and because he formerly said— " Oh there is not " One dishonouring blot "On the wreath that encircles my Wellington's name! " What inconsistency there may be in praising an individual at one time, and in blaming him afterwards for an act done intermediately, we must leave it to the professors of what is called (and, it seems, is justly called) John Bull logic, to explain. But we are anxi ous to observe, that, by us at least, no stigma has ever been attached to the honour of the illustrious Commander in question.— We know not indeed that any portion of the public Press has been guilty of such an in decency. A dishonouring blot, no man has affected to discover on that immortal wreath. Rectitude of intention, and straight-forward ness of dealing, the general opinion of the public has cheerfully conceded to the Duke of WELLINGTON. It is his judgment—his States manship—his political consistency—that men have presumed to call in question ; and the:charge, we must take leave to say, is not answered by an appeal to 'the glamouring splen dour of his military achievements, or the un deniable magnitude of his military services. On the whole,—so supported by the House of Commons,—and, we must add, so opposed by the House of Lords,—it appears to us that Mr. CANNING and his Cabinet have nothing to fear. Let the Administration steadily pro ceed on public principles ; and they may safely calculate on the public support and confidence. Re flection, and the merit of their measures, will not fail to conciliate to them all those Members of the legislative bodies, whose friendship is desir able, and who as yet stand aloof. In a word, the national voice will be exerted in their favour, and it will be found irresistible ; thus securing to the eninitry the benefits of a strong, and yet a truly cirovernment—securing to liberal and enlightened principles of policy that cautious and judicious application of them, which will constitute our best safeguard against all extremes— securing to the Catholic Question, what it has never yet fully received, " a fair field and no favour," — securing to the KING the free exercise of his un doubted prerogative in the nomination of his official servants,—and securing to the KING'S favourite Minister the ascendancy due to his genius, his great abilities, his long experience, his years of public service, and his unimpeach able integrity. The Paris Papers of Sunday, and the Etoile dated Monday morning, reached us last night. We lament to say that the Etoile confirms the reports which we mentioned yesterday from the Moniteur, of the fall of the Acropolis. An English courier, dispatched by Sir FREDERICK ADAM, who travelled with extraordinary speed, is said to have brought this intelligence. How much is it to be lamented that the long pro mised interference of the great Powers of Europe had not been afforded in behalf of unfortunate Greece before the gallant defenders of the citadel of Athens were reduced to the necessity of capi tulating, and that interesting remnant of their country's greatness and art became the prey of the destroying Turk ! Private correspondence from St. Petersburgh mentions that Count CAPO DISTRIA would proceed early in this month to Odessa, on his way to Greece, and that the fleet would sail about the same time from Cronstadt for the Me diterranean. In other respects these papers are not interesting. They furnish further and most striking proofs of the injurious effects of the Censorship on the Press. The Journal des Debats exhihits a complet e bl an k i n t h ose columns usually devoted to political intelligence and observations, and, in fact, contains nothing but a few literary and miscellaneous articles. The Journal de Paris, the Gazette de Prance, and the Etoil e , a r e to be united under the name of the G aze tt e d e F ran ce; the dec rease d circu lationof each having led to their union. Extracts are given in another column. We received, last night, tiles of American Papers, to the 9th ult. inclusive. They contain information from most of the New States, but nothing of an important c haracter. The National Advocate publishes a private letter from Rio de Janeiro, giving a long account of the circum stances which led the American Minister, at that Court, to demand his passports. The causes of the differences are traced to the shuffling conduct . of the Brazilian Ministers in regard to the illegal capture of American vessels, and the corruption, of the demnat clearest We rniscelll A IN/ which • sa By thi Gazette They further issued R.EGEI Officer frivolo'. cessity that th able to join a " Lts notices. resignati tation th possible Minister of the 81 Foreign of Manc Finance Bess Roy de Noro " A 1 of the ii certainty Archive tart' of a C v Regent, nips by active sei of fortre serupulot petitions their side tions anc L; sbon ~ Jur here vest have rec 11th ins " The Among Lima Be be the b Majesty " Each In a amusin, The st arid it into co Vera 6th of Coffee- tracted " Tli( vernmen and 82 s, " A h niarde, office.

The termination of the Parliamentary cam . paign has left the political world in comparative tranquillity, and there will now be room for a calmer and more satisfactory consideration of the state of parties and of politics in general than was possible during the actual heat and pressure of the contest. In the Lower House of Parliament the course of the Session, all things considered, has been I very remarkable. The newly-appointed Minister was threatened with a series of fierce and sys tematic hostilities ; and those menacing appear ances have ended in his obtaining a bloodless and (with the exception of two or three days of , deafening clamour) a noiseless victory. An op position started into existence at the very instant of his acceptance of the Premiership ; and it commenced its being and operations with looks so dark, and a voice so loud, that mighty deeds were expected ; but its first cry proved its last.
