Sts-.—lf we give implicit credit to the asser tions of some of the Foreign journals, the final emancipation of the Greeks from the yoke of their barbarous masters, appears completely hope. less. It may be, however, proper and prudent to receive their testimony with caution. Tho,e among the French and German Journalists, who stand forth as the ready and constant advocates of legitimacy and absolute power, have, in conse quence, ever appeared little favourable to the Greek cause ; whilst the journals published 'under the immediate influence of the most biggotted. among the Holy Allies, have openly avowed •the• most determined enmitytowards Grecian independ-- ence. From the very commencement of the san guinary and awful contest, they have never ceased representing this noble cause as a holly hopeless, and for the laudable purpose of giving colour to this, their favourite assertion, they have not scrupled to employ the grossest klsehoods, and the sinost unjustifiable slander. That the Greeks have, in many instances, equalled the Turks - in . barbarity can no more be doubted than it should be wondered at. Every contest between a people 1 long subjected to the most galling, the most de grading yoke, and the nation by'which it has been thus oppressed,must unfortunately, bu t necessarily bear a character of ferociousness, which no other war can exhibit. It is not at the moment when the most powerful passions that can sway the human breast, have suddenly broke loose,- and rage with a degree of intensity proportionate to the natural energies of a people, to the length of time during .which these energies have been com pressed, and to the nature of the yoke by which they were thus kept down, that the voice of rea son or of humanity can overpower and prevail over that of violence and of barbarity. This should serve to palliate the conduct of the Greek. patriots, but I allow, most readily, that it cannot efface the foul stain which their wanton cruelty has indelibly imprinted upon their otherwise glorious and noble cause. It has proved likewise most unfortunate for Greece, that jealousy reigned among her chief tains, and that dissensions prevailed in her &inn cils. This misfortune has proved more truly fatal to - her independence, than the scymatars of her Turkish foes, or the now European appoint ed forces of their Egyptain allies. But deplor able and destructive as this circumstance has most undoubtedly proved, it was one which the existing condition of the Greeks rendered almost unavoidable. In their eagerness to secure theirown individual, independence, each petty chieftain lost sight of what should have been the main oh. ject Of their united efforts, the conquering and. securing their national independence. Had there existed among them one man, truly deserving the name of patriot, a true descendant of those an cient and heroical Greeks, who readily sacrificed every private feeling at the sacred shriwe of pa triotism and of liberty ; one min, of a character so upright, of a disposition so disinterested as to merit the confidence of the whole nation ; one man, gifted with the wisdom to form the most sagacious plans, with resolution sufficient to carry them into effect, and with sufficient authority to enforce obedience, then must Greece have beert. inevitably saved. But, alas ! this has not been the case. The Greek chieftains .have displayed courage, activity, intelligence, firmness and de . termination ; but they have also exhibited a most fatal jealousy of each other which may prove the ruin of their country. By this alone they will either have more firmly rivetted their chains, or , plunged the avenging and extertninating sword of the ferocious I\lussulmans, into the bosom of all they hold most dear upon earth. Oh ! how blind, how fatal is ambition ! but even while we what it seems scarcely possible to deny ; whilst we boldly poll aside the veil that conceals the truth, and tear off the delusive mask beneath., which partiality might seek to hide the sad rea lity, let us not shut our eyes to the gleam of hope that yet sheds a dubious light upon the mournful scene. The recent accounts which - we ' h ave re .. ceived concerning the affairs of Greece, are melan choly, and almost disheartening. If we may. trust to them, even the last gleam of hope is ex tinguished. They tell us of fresh hordes of 'bar ; barians about to set their foot upon the classical soil of Greece ; about to exterminate, the last remnants of the most celebrated people that has ever existed. They tell us, that the Greek Councils - are divided and disniyi4 that :the. Greeks are wholly deficient in 'capaCity; yet,uti willing to place implicit confidence in I he superior Skill of the Franks; without (Wespai . kripatriotism, and divided by the meatiest personal interests, are _the room degraded, the 'most contemptible, and the most detestable people upon the face of the earth. This information mayy — be all very true ; hut through what channel do sve p.cuive it ? From a source the purity of which none but a radical liberal can possibly deny.— From the slavish Gazettes' of the Holy Allies. Now, it seems that, without incurring the accusa tion of the most reprehensible scepticism„one may reasonably entertain some doubts as to the authenticity of any inforrnation originating in such a service. Unprincipled, and 'cowardly, and unpatriotZke as the modern Greeks. may be, yet have they now carried on a most ardu ous contest with a most powerful foe, : and under every poskible disadvantage, durin g the course . of which they have exhibited to the wqrlit deeds r valour and of heroism, not unwertheit,,o.f,the. hirOes of Marathon, of . Platen, and of 'Salarni• •Is "it not samewhat singular, that in no one instance,have we seen any of their leaders betray the sacred cause for which they twaght and bl.d; 4 1,......... , _, . ~. ,......e.„. ~.......;.,,‘„,.„,„,,,....::,.,„,,,„.•„_,;., :_,..,.. 7 1 ' . - 4 . --z.;: - ,. -.. -..,:,. i.,.. , ::,,', tf , -. „. ~ ~,,,,..._ 1 4 L .:0, • 4.7/ PRICE SEVENPENCE. in no one single instance, seen any town capable of making the least resistance, voluntarily open its gates to the enemy. These are facts which rnust'hav e more weight in the minds of every un prejudiced man, than the assertions of all the German Gazettes put together. Left, by the narrow minded policy of their fellow Christians, to contend alone for their national independ.: once, the Greeks have fought its battles with* constancy and a degree of courage deserving of success. Jealousy and private dissentions have, indeed, most unfortunately prevailed among the Chiefs, but under every circumstance has the nation proved uniformly true to itself; and this alone must court ter balance every other disadvantage, and ensure its final success. When a nation is firmly it- , (ached to its religion, when it is welt acquaint- . ed with the sanguinary and mercileSs dis position of its tyrants, and is determined to be 'fire, its eventual emancipation is almost certain. This is a truth, which the pages of history place beyond the possibility of denial. There is scarcely one instance upon record, of a people combating to recover its national independence, finding itself inadeqUate to the accomplishment of the glorious task. Then why so soon. dispose of the cau.e of Greece ? Surely not because some few biggotted or preju diced journalists, chose to represent it as wholly' desperate ! The simple and undeniable fact, that the Greeks are, even now, fighting against their oppressors, is a convincing proof how greatly the unfavourable reports circulated by these papers are exaggerated. A. P. REMAINS OF ROMAN LONDON. In the excavations lately made in different parts of London, several memorials of ancient days have been found. A few days ago, as some workmen in the employment of Mr. Chadwick, the architect, were digging near the foundation of the new Trinity church, they discovered a Roman vase of a very peculiar form. Shortly afterwards the pickaxe struck against a vase of very considerable dimensions, which - could not be accurately ascertained, as it was unfortunately dashed to pieces, and the fragments were carelessly shovelled away ; but from an examination of those which were picked up, it was judged that the vase was about 4 feet high. 1.11 any fragments of Roman pottery, chiefly of a lighter sort of stone-ware, hav e been dug up there. It is supposed that this spot is contiguous to that which Bagford mentions in his letter to Hearne, as the place in which a number of Roman remains had been found. -.'-Mr. Chadwick added the first specimen to the collection of Mr. Gwilt, the architect and antiquatian. The latter Gentle- Man has formed a small museum of the various Roman Art tiquities which have been recently discovered in the Borough of Southwark by the labourers who are employed in digging the sewers near his own house in Union-street, in which many Roman remains were found, and amongst them Was a vessel of a singular shape, hearing some resemblance to a gallon stone-bottle. The aperture is perforated with small holes, and it is evidently adapted as a sort of watering-pot acting upon the principle of the common implement used in taking samples of liquor from casks in which the fluid is re tained as long as the orifice at the top is kept closed by the finger, but from which it flows as soon as the finger is re ' Moved. it is conjectured from the workmanship, that the utensil is the Roman Situ/its. A Samian cup, and several spec cimens of Samian ware, were found near the same spot. Some of the fragments resembled those dug up in Lombard-qieet, near Birchin-lane, in 1786. While some workmen were digging for the erection of a steam-engine at Messrs. Barclay and Per kins's brewery, they found a human skeieten, between the legs of which they discovered a vessel containing several Roman coins, chiefly of the Lower Empire. Near theDissenters' bary ing-ground was found, a short time ago, a Roman .hypocaus:. or flue. In the whole line of Union-street and Blackman-street, various remains were discovered. On the south side of St. Sa viour's Church, a Roman tessellated pavement was dug ma' by some of Mr. Gwilt's workmen ; but he was only enabled to re move a few fragments. A number of Roman coins were also found in the same place. A copper coin of Antoninus Piits. with a Britannia on the reverse, was found in St. Saviour's Church-yard. The head is in excellent preservation, and the execution is, perhare e not excelled by any modern coin, certainly not by any of our own. In the course of the excavations fer the new London-bridge, a quantity of Roman mortar was found. which it was conjectured, had belonged to some Roman em.- bankment, which had fallen into the river at the same time. From the remains found in various places in the neighbourhood- it was conjectured, indeed no doubt seems to exist, although the circumstance is not mentioned in our histories, that Solith wark was once a very flourishing Roman atation. Atnengst the works carried on in the course of the' restoration of St. Saviour's Church, to the progress in which such absurd impediments have been presented by a party of the learned parish dignitaries, a quantity of Roman bricks were detg up near the Spiritual Court, and - were ascertained to have been worked in with the flint in the walls. The greater part of the antiquities have been collected and preserved by Mr., Gwilt.— Indeed, his success as a collector has raised up many rivals. who narrowly watch the works carried or at any new sewere. drains, or excavations, in the hope of meeting with some thing. curious. The foremost of those is Mr. Gaieekell, the Magistrate; but - Mr. Gwilt has hitherto succeeded, and driven away all chance froth his competitors by the act of liberal rewards to ' the workmen'. We understand he has ob.. tamed one funeral urn,'. with an inscription which is likely to poze the Antiquarian Society. Every antiquarian who has yet been allowed to see it has given a different Construction of, and ' built a different hypothesis upon -it: It is 'probable, that in carrying on the works of the ' new streets, and in digging to form the improvements of the metropolis, Ls coveries may be made, which, if' they come within the koOwledge 'of the learned, will -serve to elucidate •the site Of the Roman London, or Augusta, now a matter of . such wide and wild conjecture. , In ' f g the ortnin late nehr a buildings at the India House, edrisiderabM extent orgrotind was cleared to what was considered the. Rornane site, . while, - a ROlll3ll road was discovered. Mr. Fisher eief the, Antique, rian Society, who gave an account of tree superb Mosaic - .. pavement discovered in Leidenhall-street in 1808,:thivexae.. ' mined the spot very accurately, and: will, we •presurnee give to the Society a paper on the subject, fully descriptive of his discoveries. There can be little doubt that many antiquities have been destroyed or dispersed on account of ignorance of their value, and:-that numerous interesting remains, which y so wereup lately might have. furnished matter useful, perhaps to the historian, have recently been hroken up without having for a 'moment excited the least' degree of Curiosit . Behind Coldbath-fields, p many old ppielnesc,roas church, ndsom which were which appeared to be the vestiges of a bridge, of 'great anti quity.rin The dug mounds te near considered by Dr. Stukely to be the remains of a• Roman a camp, 'and which, it is highly probable, notwithstanding the wildness of his other conjectures respecting it, were 'actually what he described them to be, have been all _ obliterated by the hand of modern improvement.

We were yesterday led to examine a tomb in the very ' ancient church of St. Catherine's, - which workmen are-now pulling to pieces,: for the purpose of forming the new St. Catharine's toek. .It was the tomb of John Duke of Exeter, who was, we believe, uncle to Henry V., and was with tiinPat:thetattie of Agincourt. His skull is now in-the possession of , Mr. Comp toe, the; surveyor. The cranium is small and retiriog, which tho',e who profess to be learned in such matters SAY; is evidence of royalty and legitimacy, as well as of valour.. •The teeth are remarkabiy.perfect. , It would appear that his tem!b_ had once before been opened and plundered. His will, . in, which he bequeathed to the high eltar ut' the church " a•cuppe of by - rol, garnished with gold, peries; -and precious stones, to be put in the sacrament," and a number of other memoriels of the Duke, are to be seen amongst the town records.

London, December 20, 1825, SUPERIOR FOOD for CHILDREN, IN VALms, and others.—By the King's Royal Letters Patent.—Of all new introductions in Domestic Economy, none have ever „met with more universal approbation than ROBINSON'S PATENT BARLEY and PATENT GROATS; they completely supersede the use of the common Pearl Bar ley or Embden Groats, a Superior Beverage being pi oducLd in Ten Minutes, and at one-halt the expence. These Nutri tious Preparations have been solimitted to the Medical Pro fession throughout the United Kingdoin, and have met with the must decided approval and recommendation; in fact, many Physicians of the greatest celebrity have declared, that the Patent Preparations of Barley and Groats excel all other articles in use, as a Food for Children, &c. The Patent Barley makes Superior Barley Water in Ten Minutes, and is infinitely better than the common Barley for thickening Veal, Mutton and other Broths ; it is also in the hi g h es t re pute for making a most delicious Pudding or Custard. The Patent Groats pr educe i a Ten M.nutes an excellent, smooth, and dclicateGruel, which, owing to the Patent mode of pre. paration, will lICYCE turn sour I . lli the stomach.
