They are unworthy of fighting for so noble a cause. The people- s generally, are extremely indolent, : dirty, and unprincipled. Their ingratitude is proverbial out 'here. They rob one another, withoutdistinction. This picture of-their charac ter may-appear highly drawn, but I assure you it does thein too muchjustice.: In short,: my disappointment in the Greek - character has been so great that it would be impossible to express it. I would sooner have to deal with one hundred 'Turks than one Greek.' 'How ever, to . return •to Napoli di Romania. On leading I Was particularly .struck - with - the appearance of - this extra ordinary place—the strongest place in the Norm. The streets are very narrow and dirty ; crowded with Greeks. They appeared to me to healthy men. ; Theit_gait is very awkward, owing, in a great measure, • I should think, to the number of arms they carry. They were a long pistol on each side, with a yatagan and a sabre. In addition to :this,:theycarry a long gun over their shpulderS. The pistols are generally finely cased. They wear tut bani skin 'Capotes, very gay saShes and garters. The town is full of cafes. I went into most of then]. They were all crowded to excess, but in none ef . them did I see any females. A great deal of gambling was going. on in every one of them; indeed this appears to be their ehief amuse ment. Backgammon and vingt-et-un seemed to be their favourite games. They also play at billiards, cassino, and another (the. most fashionable) very much resembling our whist. The fortress Palamili is quite impregnable.- . Provisions are plentiful and cheap. There are one thou. sand selcliera in Palainili and five hundred in the other fortress. Coloceironi,,.the ' . Commander-in-Chief of the Forces, states that the town contains. 26,990 fighting men. ,Panuzzi Netario ,is President of the Senate, and. Chief Secretary of all::Foreign Affairs,. Zaimis is Chief &ere= 'tary of the, Home Department. Tedor 'Griva (a Rume liet) is Governor Vota Maria (a Solioi) ,is Governor of the other fortress. Kutsk4theAlhanien Chief .in the Turkish service, is besieging Athens. Col. Fabvier is there. The Greek fleet is at Samos, with Admiral Miaulis. The steam-boat, under command of Hastings, is also . there. The Turkish fleet I saw at Tenedos on the Bth Novem ber. On the Bth of November we fell in with his Ma jesty's ship Zebra. During the night of the sth-inst. while convoying some merchantmen, one of them, the Stella, of Malta, - was attacked by two Greek pirates. The Stella had four guns ; she loaded them with muskets ball, and fired ; they immediately sheered off. The next morning the Zebra saw them in land. She sent her boats to take them ; the_ pirates run their ,craft on shore,. got behind _the bushes, and fired .on the boats. The boats succeeded in getting thetn off, lashed their helms amid ships, and sent them adrift.. No one was hurt. Nov. 11.--We are just arrived at Smyrna, and sail again immediately; you will therefore excuse the hurry with - ssfhich I have concluded this. Every thing is quiet. The'Greeks no -longer expect Lord Cochrane. Peace is daily expected'here; and-this I know to be the opinion of the-Greek-Chiefs. We left Napoli, in company with the Cambrian,. on ,the Ist 'of November. The Cuirassier, French 18-gun - brig, was there with three; Greek prizes (polacres). There were four Greek men of war there. On the sth inst. we fell in with the Rivals, of Sunder land, and Nelson, Wood, of Liverpool, bound to Odessa and. convoyed them. to Tenedos. The Cambrian is at Skyo.

Gales Tour to the Highlands. The village, the village, 'tie here where I was bred, Its glummer-clouds, like fairy veils, still flutter o'er my head ; Its rills in music ripple on, its heath, where once I ranged, Still rears the infant violet—l, I alone am changed. For me no more its merry bells shall peal their evening chime, Its minstrels sing, while fancy prompts their legendary rhyme ; The church, that smiled in beauty, once, is mould'ring to decay, And all its happy choristers long since have pass'd away. Where once my mother's cottage rose beside the village green, A sullen marsh is now o'erspread like scorn on beauty's mien ; Where the woodlark carolled sweetly, and the cuckoo spoke of spring, The bittern booms, the owl hoots, and the raven flaps his wing. 'Tis there where now yon rushes wave, my mother bade good bye, She clung to me in anguish, tho' a smile danced in her eye, For Hope hung out his promise as a rainbow o'er the main, But darkened was that Iris - soon—we never met again. You see the weeds upon her grave all growing scant and wild, You see the very hawthorn, too, she planted when a child ; To you 'tis a mere woodland tree, insensate —nothing more ; To me 'tis all that brings to mind the sunny days of yore. You cannot hear —you cannot feel the music of the past That hallows these deserted scenes and sighs in every Nast, Your ears are dull—your heart is dead—it springs not into flower, Like mine, while thus beside my home at twilight's thoughtful hour. But yonder sinks the setting sun —ye reveries away— Fain would my fancy still prolong each gleam of dying day, Fain would I trace each childhood haunt, in evening's auburn light, It cannot be—the sun has set, and all around is night. Farewell then, unforgotten home, farewell each stilly glade, Each changeling rill, like April skies, alternate sun and shade, To other eyes your solitudes may bright and beauteous be, But they can never more be bright or beautiful to me.

Our Readers will perceive by last night's Gazette, that the information which we exclusively communi cated a fortnight ago, of the appointment of the Duke of WELLINGTON to the Office of Commander -in- Chief, is confirmed, and that the other Military ar rangements, which we mentioned in our Paper of last night, have also taken place. In the appointment of the Duke of WELLINGTON to be C o mmander-in-Chief of all the Land Forces of the United Kingdom, we have another and a strik ing proof of the magnanimity of His Gracious MA JIKSTY—and of the advantages of the Institutions of our Country, which enable an individual to rise by his own deeds and merit, to the very highest Offices of the State. The KING on this occasion has shown that no ties of blood could induce him to prefer, even a Brother, to the man who is alike best qualified to preside over the British Army, from his splendid ex perience and his habits of business, and best entitled to the high distinction of succeeding to its chief command, by -the mighty deeds which he has achieved while directing its operations in the field. His MAJESTy h a s thus selected for his Com mander-in-Chief, t h e man who could best appreciate the judiciousness of the Regulations for the Go vernment of the A rm y, which the late Duke of YORK had established, and would be least likely to entertainvisionary or theoretical ideas in opposi tion t any othesystem which has been so successfully acted upon. His Grace, the present Commander-in-Chief, we may be assured, will steadily adhere to the arrange ments of his Illustrious Predecessor ; and we have no doubt will (if it be possible) add to t he splendour of his fame, itequired isfields of glory with the British army, by the wisdom of his conduct while presiding over it, - Great and important, however, to the country as the Duks of WELLENGToN's services have been, the re, wards which he has received amply testify the sense entertained of them by his Sovereign and' his country, and afford a fine example of national gratitude. - His GraCo has Won for himself the rank, the honours, and the wealth which have been bestowed upon him, but as long as his, glorious renown lives in hiStory, the same page ought to record the splendid rewards which a grateful:Sovereign and Nation have heaped upon him. The following General Order was issued last night from the Horse Guards, by his MAJESTY'S com mand-. It contains a just and well-drawn eulogium on the meritorious services bf the - late Duke of YORK, as Commander-in-ebief, while it, expresses his MA JESTY. s conviction that he cannot more effectually supply the loss which the nation and the--army have sustained, - than by the appointment of «the Great . and Distinguished General, who has so often led .the armies of the nation to victory and glory." GENERAL ORDER.' HORSE GUARDS, TUE3bir,I4IWIT, J. 11.°S. The last duties having been paid to the remains of his Royal Highoeis the Conituauder-in-Chief, the King deems it right to convey to . the artily a melancholy satisfaction, which his Majesty derives from the deep feeling of grief manifested by every class of the Military profesiion, in common with his people at large, under the great calamity with which it has pleased the Almighty to afflict 'the' nation '"and his Majesty,—A calamity - which his de prived the Crown of ont of its molt ialiiible and distinguished. seiyairite,and,his Majesty of a beloied and affectionate brother. , The King does not think it necessary to dwell upon the pre eminent merits of the lite Duke of York; his, Majesty knows that these are impressed and engraver on the hearts of his Ma jesty's soldiers. His Majesty desires that it may merely be ob aervesi, fbat the able administration of the • command held ; by his Royal Highness for a long series of years, his assiduous attention tothe welfare of the soldier, his unremitting exertions to incul cate the. true principles of order.and discipline, his discernment in bringing merit to the notice of the Crown, and the just im 7 . partiality with which he applied the honour of the service, have combined,to produce results that identify,the army as a profession, with the glory and. prosperity of this.great: country, which will cause hil virtues and services to be in the grateful remembrance of the latest posterity. • The. King feels_ that, under the present afflicting circumstances, his Majesty cannot more effectually supply the loss which the nation. and the army have sustained, than by appointing to the chief command. of his .Majesty'a forces,. Field Marshal his Grace the Duke.of Wellington, the great and distinguished General who has so often, led the armies of the nation to victory and glory, and whose high military renown is blended with the history of Europe. . . By His Majesty's command, . HENRY TORRENS, Adj.-General. We have not received any Papers or communica tions from the.Fre.nch capital to-day. It is, however, "stated in the City, that a leading capitalist has this morning received a letter from Madrid, dated the 11th . instant, containing the substance of a Proclamation is sued by FERDINAND on that day, which is said to breathe pacific intentions. This report had ar. immedi ate tifect in raising the Funds. Our City Correspondent infOrmi us, that the letter alliided to in - the preceding paragraph-(which has been sent from the City to the Foreign Office,) states that the King of SPAIN has sent a circular, dated the 11th instant, but to be issued only on the 13th, to all the Captains General of the Provinces explaining his mo tives in forming an army on the Frontiers of Portugal, which he states to be for the maintenance of the dignity of .his Crown, and :to prevent any aggres sion of the Rebels. It adds that his MA JESTY is anxious to preserve peaCe with all the Powers, and at the same time does not wish to give any offence to Portugal, or his Ally the King of ENGLAND. We. cannot vouch foi• ple accuracy of any part of this information.' We received this morning the Austrian Observer of tha 12th inst., and the Allgemeine Zeitung of the 16th, but they contain nothing new. A. private letter from a Greek merchant at Syra gives a woful accou nt s of the state of Greek affairs , and the venalit y of t hose ofen t G ru r s e te e t c l e. wit l h t . is hopeless andto moniesend succoursfor the use to th e Greeks, if those agents appointed to receive supplies for the service of their country have the dishonesty to c onvert them to their own use.

On the 30th December, in the evening, Hassan Bey arrived here, and is appointed by the Porte to act as Mehmander or at tending Commissioner to M. de Ribeaupierre, who is going as Russian Ambassador to Conttantinople, and is expected to arrive here to day or to-morrow. Hassan Bey and Constantine Ronacki, who are appointed by the Prince of Moldavia to accompany the Russian Ambassador, proceeded yesterday to the Pruth, as well as the officers and attendants who aro to accompany the Ambassador on his solemn entry. M. Mathias Pisani, interpreter to the Russian Legation, arrived on the 30th from Skerleni with the archives of the Legation. M. V.

We have little news from the Mores and Attica. According to some accounts the Seraskier Redschid Pacha had been obliged by want of provisions to give up the siege of the citadel of Athens, and retreat to Salons. No date is assigned for this event in any of i the a s t half .ac : of unt s, but November,ifit reallybeea because took the place, bniti Universal have Gazette been of in the Greece, published at Napoli, says nothing of it so late as the 11th of November ; and the Oriental Spectator of the lat of Decem ber speaks of it. We have already quoted from the Oriental Spectator, of Ist December, several passages relative to the un successful attempts of Colonel Fabvier, and also mentioned from the above authority, the duel between the two French Colonels, ing sai , l ' e s tt t e lr o A r au Greek stian mer chant Ob-s rcelr,amatve. er, l a ise — o - f this opportunity to send von news from Greece, Voutierfraointld t ßa he y s -b a a m u e rl. pap t 1 71 1 e o now n a o d s ( v l for which I know you are very anxious. I am sorry to inform you that the cause of the revolution is in no better condition than when I wrote last. Every thing seems to have conspired to the ruin of the unhappy country in which we were born ; even the succours which it receives from Europe become in the hands of those who have the management of them—a fresh source of dis cord and disorder. You know what has become of the money brought by Count diflarcourt. Those, into whose hands it fell, have held it so fast that we should have long since heard nothing of it, but for the disputes about it, into which they have fallen, with those who have got no share of it. In fact it seems as if all those persons who were depended upon for the promotion ef the great work of our Mu , pendence. now thought only of enriching themselves, and disap pearing to spend elsewhere the fruit of their plunder. It is cer— tain that the sums which they have deposited in foreign banks, would be more than sufficient to enable Greece to continue the war, without any further demands on the generosity of the European friends of Greece ; who can calculate the profits suede by piracy, and by the base money which is coined for this latter purpose ? Mints are at work in several places-- the only establishments in Greece that are completely organised; but they are in the hands of the most influential persons, or those who were so but very lately. Even the hopes we bad founded on Colonel Fabvier begin to vanish. He has been several times inclined to leave Greece, especially when he returned from the expedition to Caristo, when he positively declared that nothing could make him change his resolution. He has lately repeated those assurances, yet something seems to retain him, which is more powerful than his vexation at being always forsaken by his' troops. He is reproached with having committed several errors; for instance, having left Athens when it was clear that it would he besieged, as Missolonghi could not hold out. He appears to be now at - Methane re-organising his troops, who always rim away when he takes the field, and join him again when he returns to his quarters. It is - to he observed, that these deserters always sell their arms and uniforms, and have therefore to be armed and equipped a-new► which shows , why his men have such a shabby appearance, and why nothing remains of 8,000 or 9,000 muskets and the 5,000 uniforms that have been sent hither within a year, during which time Fabvier's corps has never exceeded 1,200 men in garrison, and hardly ever so many as 400 in the field. What shall we infer from this but that Fabvier is a man of admirable persever ance, who endures all possible,affronts and vexations from a ao-, vernment which he despise*, and from a people which has gives him no reason to esteem it. Three Philhellenes who are going home on board the ship that brings you this letter, have lately said, that the Paris Committee had informed Fabvier, that it would send him a sum of 80,000 Relics monthly, and for the first month 60,000 francs. If this true r :all the Greeks in the Morea will surely join him and learn the exercise, till the time comes to take the field. This, hove ,).er, will - be a beginning of a military education, which will pro duce fruit some time or other. TRIESTE, JAW. 9. None of the ships that Lave arrived from the Levant yesterday and to-day, chiefly after very short voyages, have brought any news of combats either by sea or land. It is generally believd in the Levant, that in arrangement between the Port and Greecv , is in progress, and that this is the reason that the Capitan pachs has returned to Constantinople, and that no more troops have come from Egypt. The want of provisions is said to b e v ery great, espeCially among the Greeks, as a great number of sailors 141/along been out of employ; the land, in many parts is tv liollY laid waste. - m arq - u i s p a ulneci WAS to leave- Smyrna after the new year, I° the Rebelipte, and to come to this port.

Those, who are in the habit of perusing our columns, will recollect, that on the firs t announcement of hostilities' between those countries some months ago, we expressed a very decided opinion of the great importance of the questions which- those hostilities would give rise- to _between this co untri and Russia ; we argued then. upon probabilitie s rather than upon a knowledge of the n f o ac wl t e s dg w e hici ; had led to the war ; hut with a k the policy of Russia with respe:"ct to its pet' sian Frontier, and of this country at the Court of Persia, in endeavouring to counteract the views of th e former Power. What Russia could succeed in accomplishing by negociation, she appears to be en' deavouring to do by force of arms ; and a 'momentous question hence arises both on principles of geneo l policy and with reference to the conditions Of existing Treaties,— a w rm h s a , t , c ourse Great h G a r a e b at een ß e ri n ta ab in led m:t ith . e p rt u o rsu t s o o to resist as effectually the intenti ons o f -Russia in tatting up tera ct.tbem by her influence at the Court of th e aShcsltlaAinn 7 In th e from further o p b r s e e s r e v n a t ti s o t n a s te on o t f he aff s a u i b r j s ect y .. e .shall By our Police Report of yesterday it wo l lud bie - Pex' ceived that Sir R. BIRNIE complained of. the state" ment made by the Morning Herald regarding .th e inefficiency of the Police, and the insult said tti hsy e been offered to the Speaker of the House of Co'w mons, at the funeral of his Royal Highness the Dok e of YORK. We are happy to hear that the staterne o was erroneous, for conduct such as was attributed to the Police must excite the indignation of every 0 0e who hears it. Surely Police Officers ought to be me ° worthy of being vested with some discretion, and ss one can hardly fancy any of them unacquainted with the person of the Speaker of the blouse of CoMmons, so, it i 9 inconceivable that they should have thought th ei nselve s bound to refuse him admission to the Castle, far Jess t° treat him with impertinence. The power vested Police Officers, though not extending to life and, limb' is certainly of an arbitrary nature, and as such shoul d be intrusted to none but honest and respectable: men' we shall therefore look with great anxiety for the i° provement in the system projected by the Right Hon' Secretary for the Home Department. Many thing no doubt are more formidable in contemplation 00' 3 iu reality, but most persons who have never figured tit a Police Office would not encounter a night in th e watch-house, with the subsequent exhibition, for year's income—and yet who is secure-from such atv noyance, whilst many of the guardians of the night are the mercenary ill-paid creatures that every one kno o them to be ?
