LE'll'Eß OF MR. W. T.WASHINGTOi TO THE GREEK GOVERNMENT. VIENNA, SEPT. 4 2 -I.—Besides the protest which was presented to the Greek Government at Na poli di Romania by Gen. ROCHE and Mr. War. TowNsElen WASHINGTON, on occasion of the re solution, to seek the protection of England, Mr. WASHINGTON addressed a letter to the Executive Government to the following effect :- 46 NAPOLI DI ROMANIA, AUG. 1. " GENTLEMEN—I was• informed last Friday,* from several quarters, that a document, written in Corfu, in the Italian' language, translated at Hydra and Spezzia, had been received here in Napoli di Romania, that two Members of the Legislative Body, almost all the Members of the Executive, and many of the Captains of the Mores and Candia had signed it ; and that the real object of this document is to apply to the English Government for assistance against the' Turks and Arabs, and to give up to that Govern ment the sovereignty of Greece. I have con sidered this step in the circumstances in which the country is as quite unnecessary, and I have besides considered it as an extraordinary viola tion of the rights and privileges belonging to any member of the Greek Republic, which has been committed by the individuals who signed the do cument. Under the actual circumstances I have thought it my duty publicly to express my dis approbation of what had been done, and accord ingly I signed, together with General Roche, Agent of the Greek Committee at Paris, a pro lest. At the urgent request of a number of the Legislative Body, I now attempt to develope more at length the motives which induced me to sign that protest. " Allow me, first, to express my ideas on the question, ' What right had the members of the Greek Government, or the Greek Government itself to carry on this negociation with the Eng ' As absolute Governments are in every respect masters of their subjects and their terri tories, they may have a right to dispose, by sale -.or gift, of a part of their subjects and their terri tory, as the Virginia planter sells or gives away his slaves and his lands. " But according to the notions that prevail among us in America, a Government which pro ceeds from the people, and governs only by vir tue of a delegated authority, can have no powers bu: such as are expressly given it by the people, and where do we see that the right to place Greece or a part of Greece under the sovereignty of a foreign power, was ever given to the Pro. visional Government of Greece by the Greek Nation ? And what right had the privates and the Captain, and the members of the Legislature and.' FxProtivn tinklipg 5. 1, -cetber _ to rion•-:--- mem ;er ot the reek •Republic of the advantage which he possesses, and which he believes himself to possess by virtae of his quality of member of that Republic, except in the case that helms com mitted a crime ? And what is still more, what right have they in any case whatever to compel a mem ber of the Greek Republic to become the subject of a foreign power ? None whatever, they have 110 such right, and if it be the - object of the docu. ment in question to subject Greece to the domi nion of England, whether it he like Malta, the . lonian Islands, Gibraltar, or Canada, I maintain that the persons • who have issued the document have been guilty of an usurpation of power and a violation of the rights of the Greek Nation, which cannot be justified in the eyes of the world. " A member of the Legislative Body has since shewn me a document, and endeavoured to con vince me it contains nothing to affect the national independence of the country ; that the Greeks did not so understand it; and that the English arid the whole world could not put such inter. pretation from it. " I remain in doubt upon the subject, for the expressions in the document, which has been shewn to true, seem to the to be extremely equi vocal; and besides, I place little confidence in the probity of the English Government : it is a Government ii.hich is accustomed, if it can but attain its ends, to violate the laws of nations, and the obligations which it has taken on itself. " At the same time other interesting pestions arise. First, In what manner will the English Gmernment afford assistance to the Greeks ? Witti going to war with the Porte, or by nego ciating a treaty of peace between the two parties ? And has the English Commodore, who carried on the negociation, received instructions on the subject from his Government? The negociatio:: is to rue covered with a veil, which time will perhaps raise; till then, I say, that if assistance only has been applied for, there is no objection to be made; but if the affair is to end in the national indepen dence of Greece, this is an eve►►t which I shall deplore and I consider it as my duty to declare to the whole world, my disapprobation of all measures that may have such a tendency ; and think I may take upon myself the responsibility of expressing to the Greeks, with respect to such measures, the regret and the disapprobation of my nation. " I had hoped, Gentlemen, to enter into the military service of the Greek Government, arid to employ my military talents for the cause of Greece, of liberty, and of civilization. But if Greece is to become a province of Great Britain, or of any other Foreign Power, I cannot consis. tently with ray political principles remain any longer here after such an event shall have taken place. With grief I shall then leave a country to which I am attached by my best feelings.— Accept, Gentlemen, &c. (Signed) " WM. TOWNSHEND WASHINGTON." • Ju ly 29 .— The Protest of G enera l Roche and M. Wash iagtoa is dated 28th July. TIIE GREEKS. (From the Brussels and Dracit Papers to the Pith inst.) The Austrian Observer, having mentioned the intrigue of the Deputies of the several Philhel. lenic Societies, which have ended in the applica tion to England, gives a detail of the proceedings of the English squadron, the substance of which is, that the squadron, consisting of three frigates, a corvette and a brig, assembled on the 12th July in the roads of Patras, a frigate and a brig sailed to Nlissolonghi, and the remainder with Commodore Hamilton to the Archipelago ; that the latter, on the 19th, were before Napoli, where he found another frigate, a corvette, and a brig, and also the London Packet Merchantman, with a new remittance of 50,0001. sterling, from London. Commodore Hamilton himself arrived at Na poli on the 20th, having been on the 19th at Spezzia, and on the same day the Greek Govern ment had an extraordinary meeting, in which Maurocordato, who had lately arrived from Hydra, is said to have presented a Report, in which he painted the desperate situation of Greece, the fruitlessness of resistancf., the disso lution of all discipline, the want of money, and the necessity of submitting to some European Power as the only means of safety left, recom mending,, it is added, England, as the most power ful at sea and the most opulent. On the 21st Maurocordato, Trikupi Coletti, and Spiliotaki went on board the Cambrian, to lay before Commodore 'hulliton the desire of the Greek nation. What reply the Commodore made we cannot state with certainty on a mere report. After their return tl►e Deputies, atte►►d ed by a great crowd, repaired to the hail of the Government, and opened a register,in which those who declared for England should inscribe their names. The same had been done on the 20th at Spezzia. On the 23d July Buduri brought the news to Hydra, Conduriottio assembled the people in the great Convent, and informed them of the real state of affairs in the Peloponnesus. lie declared all the reports hitherto spread of victories stated to have been gained to be pure fictions to deceive the people ; that Colocotroni's force was dis persed ; that the Alainotes were inactive ; that Ibrahim, from his position at Tripolizza, could make excursions at pleasure ; and that the best they could do was to - follow the example of Napoli and Spezzia. This proposal caused considerable agitation, and several persons said—" It was well known that it had long since been intended to sell them to England." The lljdra Gazeile, up to the Ist of Augus N.S.), says not a word of all these transactions WEST INDIES. We have received Jamaica Papers to the 30th of August. They are chiefly filled with extracts from the English Journals, or discussions on the proceedings of Parliament and the speeches of the Anti-slavery Members respecting colonial affairs. The following are extracts : " KrzicsToN, Auo. 27.—We understand that instructions have been forwarded from home to the Admiral, not to permit the vassels of war to bring specie from Columbia to this island, oti,.'-V t Bri , ; „ - - not confined to that state alone, but to all the new belligerent states of South America. Of course the order does not apply to money belonging to British subjects, but to that of fo reigners. The order likewise directs that men of war shall not bring any specie here whatever from any of the colonies un der the dominion of Spain, but to carry it direct to Great Bri tain. These restrictions will prove a most serious impediment to the commerce of this island. " A smart shock of an earthquake was felt at Falmouth, about one o'clock on Monday afternoon. We have been fa voured with the following extract of a letter, from a lady re siding in the interior of the parish, written on the evening of that day : "We have had to-day (Monday) two of the most severe shocks of an earthquake that ever I felt. The children all looked at me with astonishment, not knowing what to think. It seemed as if every thing in the house was coming down. I have scarcely yet recovered from the alarm I felt at the time.' " We learn from an advertisment in the Cornwall Courier, that a meeting is to be held on Monday next, at the Court house, Falmouth, to take into consideration the propriety of raising a fund for the erection of a suitable place cf worship, and the support of a minister, of the Presbyterian church.' " By the following Proclamation our readers will observe that British silver and copper money is to be issued in this island as pay to the troops, and that it is made a legal tender at the rate of 4s. 4d. to the Spanish dollar, or 13s. to our pound. It is likewise provided that the Commissariat Department shall grant bills on the Lords Commissioners of his Majesty's Trea sury, at the rate of one hundred pounds for every one hundred and three pounds of the money, for sums not less than one hun dred pounds. We fear this will vary the value of the coin ac cording to the current rate of exchange, which must prove very awkward and troublesome in a circulating medium, though the lowness of premium will no doubt contribute greatly to re tain it in the island. 64 PIZOCLAMATION. " Whereas his Majesty has been graciously pleased to direct that his Majesty's troops, serving in the several British colonies and possessions abroad, shall, in certain cases, be paid in British silver and copper money : And whereas, with a view of securing the circulation of such money in those colo nies, his Majesty has been pleased to declare, by an Order in Council bearing date the twenty_third of. March last, That in all those colonies where the Spanish dollar is now, either by law, fact, or practice, considered as a legal tender for the discharge of debts, or where the duties to Government are rated, or collected, or the individuals have a right to pay in that description of .coin, a tender in payment of British silver money, to the amount of 4s. 4d. shall be considered as equiva lent to the tender or payment of one Spanish dollar, and so in proportion for any greater or less amount of debt: and also, that British copper money shall be made a legal tender in all the British colonies for it die and proper proportions of silver money as by law established in Great Britain; but that no person shall be compelled to take more than 12d. in copper money at any one payment: And whereas t he Lords Commissioners of his Majesty's Treasury have given directions to the officer in charge of the duties of the corn. miaseriat department, in this island, to receive from the holders of British silver money, bills, upon their Lordships, at 30 days' sight,.in,exchazige for any MUM whatever tendered by them, in British silver, not less in amount than 100/. at the fixed rate of a bill for 1001. for every 1031. of British money so tendered, I do issue this my Proclamation, recommending to his Majesty's subjects of this island, to give full effect to the bereinbefore recited order of his Majesty in Council, and the directions of the Lords Commissioners of his Majesty's Treasury ; and I do hereby publicly declare, that whereas the Spanish dollar passes current in this island for 6s. lid, of money of account, 13s. of British silver money shall be considered equal to 11. of such money of account. " Given under my hand and seal at arms at St. Jago de l 4 Vega, the sixth day of August, in the sixth year of his Majesty's reign, Annoque Domini one thousand eight hundred and twenty-five._ " MANCHESTER." NAVAL COURT MARTIAL. " A naval court-martial was held on Monday the Bth inst., on board his Majesty's ship Isis, lying in Port Royal harbour, for the purpose of trying Lieutenant Henry Dundas Trotter, late of the Hussar, he having solicited the Commander-in- Chief to grant him a trial, in consequence of a reprimand given him by his Captain, by the reading of a letter to the ship's crew, at the infliction of a punishment upon Edward Ripping ton, which letter reflected upon his conduct in the evidence be gave at the court-martial held upon the said seaman, and afterwards transmitted to the Commander-in-Chief of the station. " The Court, consisting of Captain Thomas Forrest, C. 8., President; Captain William Elliot, C. 8.; Captain Hugh Pat ton, C. 8.; Captain Lockivlrt Leith ; Captain William Rus sell ; William SVynter, Esq., D. J. Advocate—being formed, pursuant to an order of the Commander-in-Chief, slated the sth of August, the Deputy Judge Advocate proceeded to take the evidence, which was maturely considered in every point, both for and against the prisoner, and the necessary documents being duly proved before the Court, the prisoner was called upon for his defence ; upon which Lieutenant Trotter tendered his defence, which he read in a very impressive and feeling manner. After which, evidence was called in support of the allegations contained therein. " - Lieutenants Charles Elliot and Thomas R. Sullivan, Dr. Gallaway, and several other officers of the ship, gave Lieute nant Trotter, a very high character, both as a gentleman and an officer, and expressed in very strong terms their opinion of his incapability of acting in the manner to be inferred by Cap tain Harris's letter. The Court having been cleared for a short time, was re-opened, when the Deputy Judge Advocate read the following acquittal:— " The Court are unanimously of opinion, that the evidence given by Lieutenant Trotter at the late Court-martial on Ed ward Rippington, a seaman of the Hussar, was conscientiously and justly given; that his conduct appears at all times to have been perfectly respectful to his Captain ; and that he did not deserve the reprimand which he received from Captain Harris. The Court, therefore, adjudge him to be fully acquitted. " But the Court listened with considerable regret to some parts of Lieutenant Trotter's defence, which it considered irre levant, intemperate, and unnecessary to his own exculpation." COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday a Coirt of Common Council was held for the dispatch of a variety of public business. WARD INQUESTS. Mr. SAVAGE moved, that it should be referred to a Commit= tee to inquire and report on the nature of the duties of Ward Inquests, and the manner in which they were executed, and also that the Report which the Committee should make be printed and sent to each member of the Court. He referred them to the report of the case respecting false weights, which took place at the Mansion-house. This was one of the most im portant subjects connected with the municipal regulations of the city, and he should feel it his duty to call the particular atten tion of the Court to it. It would be found that the most im portant duties which belonged to the Ward Inquest had fallen into disrepute, and that others were rendered perfectly nuga tory by the general mode of proceeding -which inquests had adopted. The motion was agreed to unanimously. The LOPD MAYOR submitted to the Court a letter from Alderman Venables, announcing his intention of accepting the office of Lord Mayor, to which he was elected by his fellow_ citizens in Common-hall. TIIE OFFICE OF TOWN CLERIC.- The discussion On the report as to the salary which should be given to the person who might be elected to serve the office of Town-clerk next followed. Mr. S. DIXON said he was not able to attend the former Court, but from what he gathered of the proceedings from the reports in the public papers, it seemed it had been proposed to give the Town-clerk 2,0001. per annum, with various privi leges, exclusive of the allowance of 1,5001. fo r the salarie s o f his clerks. Now he (Mr. Dixon) felt himself in a very deli cate situation as respected the gentleman on whom, beyond all doubt, their choice would fall. For that gentleman he had long felt the utmost esteem, and he would always promote his interests to the uteuist of his power whenever he could do it conscientiously. But he felt he had here a higher duty to per form, and he must object to the allowance proposed by the Court. With such an allowance, he declared that he would sooner take the office of Town-clerk than that of Lord Mayor, because it would last much longer, and produce m uc h more profit th an th e l atter office generally did.—(Laughter.) —The Court should also consider that the allowance they now made would probably last beyond the life of the officer whom they were about to elect, and would become a rent-charge upon the funds of the city, which were not likely for years to be in a flourishing condition. 111 r. Jots - Es thought that the allowance of 1,5001. to the clerks excessive, and moved, as an amendment, that the sum allowed for the clerks should be 1,200/. per annum. He thought the Court should have some' report annually of the names of the clerks employed, and the sums given to them, in order that they might see how the allowance was applied. Mr. LEGGE thought the sum of 1,5001. was not too much, but he considered that the Court should have the appointment of the clerks. He thought that 1,800/. per annum would form a munificent allowance, with the advantage of a residence at the expence of the city, as he was not aware that it was requi site for the dignity of the office that he should keep his carriage. He was of opinion that fees of office ought to be entirely abo lished. They formed one of the most ancient, and, at the same time, grievous abuses which were maintained by prescription. There was one of the fees to which he must particularly object. He found that any Jew admitted to the office of broker was compelled to pay 91. on his admission. Now, there were many members supporting the report, who professed to be friends of liberal principles, and lie was at a loss to conceive how they could agree to so invidious and illiberal a distinction. They would admit the most outrageous atheist, or a man who was utterly devoid of principl e of any kind might be admitted for 31. 10s., whilst .he man who conscientiously, though perhaps erroneously, maintained what he conceived to be the right, was to be charged 91 . —(Hear, hear !)—He hoped that such dis tinctions would be done away by every body that would prove they were actuated by Christian feelings of charity or indul- gen ce.—(Cheers.) Mr. FAVELL said, that the distinction was by no means made in the feeling imputed by the worthy member, but the larger fee was fixed on the admission of a Jew broker, because the offic e was proportionately more lucrative.—(Hear, hear !) He concluded by recommending that the Court should adopt, with respect to junior clerks in the office, that which was adopted in the Bank and the East India-house—namely, that specific salaries should be given for the performance of specific duties. Mr. HuncomnE and Mr. PULLEN supported the report, which after some further discussion, was agreed to. Mr. RouTit then presented a petition from Mr. Henry Woodthorpe, praying to be elected to the office of Town Clerk, to succeed his father. Mr. S. Dixosr expressed his pleasure in seconding the mo tion that the petition should be agreed to. The petition stated, that die petitioner had been conversant with the duties of the office for twenty-four years. The standing order that the elections of this Court, and that all elections, should be by ballot was suspended, and Mr. Woodthorpe was unanimously elected. Mr. Woodthorpe was then called into the Court, when the Loup MAYott said, he was highly gratified in being able to inform him that his election had been unanimous. His Lord ship felt convinced, from the able manner in which he had per formed the duties of the office of Deputy Town Clerk, he would execute in an efficient and honourable manner the duties of the high office to which he was now elected in so distinguish ed a manner. Mr. Woodthorpe, with much emotion, expressed his grate ful acknowledgments for the honour done him. He begged to assure them, that if their approbation of any exertions of his had procured for him this distinction, it should only ope rate as a stimulus, if any were wanting, and increase his fu ture efforts to execute the duties of his office, and maintain all the important franchises of this Court, and the Corporation at large. The Paris Papers of Tuesday received last night have no intelligence of moment, except the following extracts, and which refer to the war in Greece, and the capture of the banditti which infested the road to Naples from Rome. The Constitutionnel of Tuesday contains the same article, as an extract from the Austrian Observer, is hich we elsewhere give as an extract from the Brussels Papers. It is merely an ac count of the state of Greece, at the time when it was resolved to seek the protection of England. ( From the Journal de Paris of Tuesday.) AUGSBURG, SEPT. 27.—(Private Letter).—" The follow. ing is extracted fiom our Letters from Trieste, received by to day's mail On the 21st of August, the affairs of the Morea had not undergone any considerable change; only the Guerillas, in the Morea, having received reinforcements had become more useful. The li g h t troops, l e d b y intrepid Chiefs, attacked all the detachments of the Egyptian army which ventured from the main body. Ibrahim Pacha remained on the defensive, and had no communication with Modon and Navarin, on account of the plague. " The Greeks in Candia have made some progress, and, If their country men i n t h e Pe l oponnesus do but find them some reinforcements, they would easily make themselves masters of the ports of the island. The Turkish troops, who were too few in number to make any effectual resistance, have retreated into the fortresses. " Redchid Pacha is still in the environs of Missolonghi. He is evfleavouring to re-organize his army, the desertion of several thousand Albanians having made an unfavourable impression on the Turks, and especially on the Asiatics, who are but little accustomed to sieges." (From the Quotidienne.) ROUE, SE PT. 22.—(Private Correspondence.)—l hasten to inform you, that the band of Gaslerane, composed of 28 ban ditti, which infested the road to Naples and the adjacent coun try, has capitulated with the Military Authorities of the Police, and that these robbers have demanded only the following con ditions : " I. To be accompanied, and not carried as prisoners before the tribunals. " 2. To be allowed to fulfil the formalities prescribed to ob tain the indulgences of the holy year. " 3. To hope, or rather to have recourse to the clemency of the Sovereign, to whose justice, however, they entirely submit themselves. In fact, they have all entered the fort of St. Angelo on the train of their chief. This is certainly an important event, and particularly interesting to travellers."
