[Continued fronTialurday's Paper.] yet they molest. the Turkish Bey of Mistra more than all the MaigiOtes put together. They call themselves Bardouniotes, and seem to aim at the conqUest of Laconiai which they have begun to plunder. The Dorians, led by the descendantS of llerculegi did precisely the same. Must we 'then- return to the barbarities of the heroic ages to witness the revival Of the ages of Leonidas and of Pericles ? It was a levy en masse of some - Albanian tribes who drove the Russians out of the Peloponnesus in 1770; but the Schype tars, once masters of the country, refused to leave it; and the tribe of Bakiarys, having persisted in keeping the town of Tripolizza, were'cut in pieces by the Turks, who raised on the field of 'battle a pyramid - of 3,000 skulls, cemented to gether with mortar. . - All the world 'has heard of the Mainotes or Magnotes, who boast of having in their veins the blood of the Spartans ; but their claim to so il lustrious an origin is rather doubtful: The learned Grecian, M. de Villoison, found on the -eastern mountains of Laconia 'some villages wherri the Doric dialect is still spoken : a circumstance which made him recognize in those Tzaconites the only true remnants Of the Lacedemonians.— The idiom of the Mainotes,abserves . another able Critic, is a modern Greek dialect which haS no thing Doric in it, but contains many b.arbarisms ; they may therefore be a Greek people of the. Law Empire, who'came' perhaps, from. Thessaly, where there is a mountain called, Maina ; or .they may be_a Sclavoniamor Albanian tribe, :Who ar rived in the Peloponnesus at the.tim.e when- the Sclavonians invaded this Peninsula, to whichthey gave the modern name of Mona, which signifies a maritime 'country, from the word more,..sea : but they cannot 'be a remnant of the-ancient peo ple of Laconia, whose Doric dialect, so remark able for - its peculiarities, must have left some traces. Though, however, the claim of the Mai . - notes to a Spartan descent may not be supported by the affinity of their language. to the ancient Doric, yet there are many resemblances in their customs to the excellent institutions of Lycurgus, which.operate strongly in favour of that opinion;" so striking indeed are some of those resemblancesi that it would seem as if the great shade of that . Legislator still visited them : and if they are not descendants of the, ancient. Spartans, but sprung from a Thessalian, Sclavonian, or Albanian origin, how are we to account for this great .simi larity between many-of their Institutions and. those of Sparta ? We are not aware of any re- . , semblance in the customs of Thessaly, Scla v oni a , or Albania, to those of Sparta, or to those of the Mainotes. . The modern Greeks residing in the towns of this famous peninsula have been singularly ill treated in the works of most European travellers who have visited them ; and, if we were to place implicit reliance on their unfavourable reports, all those visions, inspired by the natural beauty of this peninsula, would lose their charms, and vanish like phantoms. Greece is certainly no longer what she formerly was) but she is far re moved from that state of degradation and humi liation which is supposed. The Gieeks of the present day are not equal to those in the time of LbONIDAS ; but their recent conduct in, their contests with the oppressors of their countty have' shewn that they are not deficient in courage and resolution, and are not totally unworthy of their glorious ancestry. The success of the Greek' cause, however, does not in our opinion depend so much on the inhabitants of the towns as on the country-Clergy, the peasantry, and the shepherds of the Pelopou nesus, who possess physical strength, courage, energy, simplicity of manners, virtuous habits, religious and patriotic sentiments, in short all that is necessary for a regenerating nation. The habits of war can only be acquired by practice and experience, but united to the qualities above mentioned, who can doubt the ultimate success of this fine people ? It is very possible that the war of the Polo ponneshs may be prolonged like that of La Vendee. The Ministers of the Gospel in the country are inured to hardships, and accustomed to privations; very frequently their churches are only caverns or the verdant dome of aged forests, but the people place the most unbounded confi dence in, and entertain the strongest attachment for, these pastors, poor as the apostles, and zealous as the martyrs. The monasteries of the Pelo ponnesus are most of them fortified by nature, and contain a hardy and warlike population.— .Mega-Spileon, or the Great Cavern, is a very strong castle, built at the opening of an immense hollow or ravine, the extent of which has not yet been explored ; there are two castles in Carniola, constructed in similar positions. The monks of Mega-Spileon' are highly respected, even among the Turks, because in the war of 1770 they saved the lives of many Mussulman prisoners; they have the credit of deriving large revenues, from their vineyards, and the immense size of their well furnished cellars does not render this popular report.irnprobable. The peasantry of the Peloponnesus ought, it would seem, to be familiarized to the use of fire-arms, for game and wild beasts are plentiful in their forests. How then does it happen that travellers never speak of Moraile or Greek hun ters ? 'Whenever we read of their meeting men well armed, they are sure to be Albanians. This people, who occupy many villages in the Morea, are never seen unarmed, not even when employed in getting in their harvests; for the Albanian is in the habit of saying, " I acknowledge no mas ter ; my Pacha is my musket." The peaceable Moraite cultivates his fertile fields for the profit of Turkish, Greek, or Albanian feudatories; and accustomed to simple food, he seems not to mur mur at the exaction of tithes, and of the endless contributions which empty his granaries. The vintages present even very gay scenes ; and, on the whole, the Moraite appears framed for servi tude. It is the continually increasing cupidity of the Beys or landlords which has driven him to despair. RESOLVED—That the CONDUCT of the LIFE GUARDS on all occasions when they have been called upon to support the Civil Power, has bean distinguished by GREAT FOR BEARANCE, GOOD TEMPER, and DISCIPLINE. That in the recent disturbances, these qualities were dis played in an eminent degree, although while employed in the discharge of their duty, they were exposed to unmanly insults, and most brutal assault's, on the part of the populace. That had they availed themselves, to its full extent, of their undoubted right to resort to their weapons in self-defence, the carnage of that day must have been dreadful, and great numbers would have fallen the sacrifice to their just resentment. . ......,_ An Enemy to Mob Law, from Rochester _ - 2 0 0 J.

We may, we think, compare the peasants of the Morea to their ancestors, the Arcadians, who, even at the most flourishing period of their history, were the vassals of a certain number of noble families, by whom they were treated with kindness without being allowed any political privileges. Until the time of the• Philopcemen, the Arcadians, notwithstanding their courage and numbers, acted no distinguished military part, for want of order and discipline. But who was this Philopo2men ? Was he an adventurer, a sophist, or a Radical of Athens ? No, he was a great landholder, and superintended the cultiva tion of his estates. The Peloponnesus has since possessed several great landed proprietors, desirous of making their vassals happy. The inhabitants of Elis culti vated in peace their smiling fields, under the auspices of a branch of the imperial family of the Ottomans, to whom this province was assigned as an inheritance, perhaps as a place of banish .mcnt. Every thing flourished under their pater nal authority ; but a troop of Albanian robbers established themselves on the barren mountains of Arcadia, at "Ala, and made predatory incur sions into the lordship of the Ottomans, who not being able to oppose an effectual resistance, of fered them certain concessions ; their demands, however, rose higher every day, and at length they finished by requiring the Ottoman Prin cesses to be given in marriage to their Beys: from that time, as members of the reigning fa mily, they became the tyrants of the province, setting the I'acha at defiance, and caring little for the Sultan, who never went to the assistance of his own blood. From this Albanian race - the Hydriots are de scended, who are, according to M. Pouqueville, rapacious and ferocious Schypetars, a term given by him to the Albanians in this country. A third band of Albanians settled at the foot' of Mount Taygetus ; and though few in number, The accounts of two modern travellers, •M: St; SauVeurand Mr. Galt, would tend to shake our confidence in the romantic picture of the pa triarchal manners of the Mainotes, published under the name of Dimo Stephanopoli, if weliad not received different statements from other sources confirmatory of the representations•of the last named writer. Agricultureand war are the only occupations of the Mainotes. They can bring into the field 15,000 fighting men, who for many years have been trained tQ the European military exer cise; and when we consider their utter detesta tion of the Turks, not one of whom they per mit to set foot on their territory, we think they will act.a distinguished part in the destinies of Greece. Their unshaken fidelity towards their brothers in arms, their generous hospitality to wards strangers, their mutual confidence in the transactions of life, and their exalted filial love and maternal tenderness have been most bril liantly described by the pen of Stephanopoli. All authors however are agreed that we shall find patriarchal manners and Bucolic pictures among the Nomade Moraites of the Pelopon- -- 'Jesus. They are shepherds, who having no fixed property, wander with their herds of goats on deserted lands; their short jacket of skin or cot ton, the handkerchief rolled round their head, their buskins and pipes, in short, the whole of their appearance, recall to memory the Sicilian and Italian shepherds of Theocritus; they reside in caverns shaded by shrubs and flowers like that of Amaryllis in the third Idyl. 46 Why can I " not, like a bee, glide through the ivy and the " fern which shades my grotto ?" They repose in the day time on stibadia, resembling those mentioned by Theocritus ; they are beds made of rushes or grass, or herbs, suspended in the air between four wooden stakes, which support at the same time a slight canopy of leaves. They may say with Polyphemus : " I am in want of " nothing. I have milk fresh in winter and in " summer ; a thousand sheep bleat in my vast " caverns." It is however an oversight on the part of travellers to suppose that these Nomades are the Arcadian shepherds of Theocrat's, for this poet never made Arcadia the scene of any of his natural and delightful pictures ; but the lapse of ages has brought the Peloponnesus to a state of savage nature. Yet, if the Peloponnesus were a beautiful de sert, where goats skipped to the sound of the pastoral pipe, it would be peopled peaceably by all those who love not the brilliant and hard yoke of some of our great States. But we are not here talking of the occupation of an imaginary Arcadia, inhabited by a few shepherds. The Turk will find its re-conquest not so easy . a task. More than one barbarian horde, provided with 'all the instruments of war, dwells on this penin sula ; every where frowning battlements denote the presence of warlike masters ; the Hydra of Lerna raises every where his thousand heads ; the birds of Stymphalus hover about in all direc tions, and there is no longer a Hercules.
