foregoing volume, and the second, the sole pro • - duction of M. Amaury Duval, is entitled Pictures of Naples and its Environs. The biographical notices of this last volume ppssess in our eyes much more attraction ; this period, beginning with the reign of Ferdinand I V., that is to say in 1759, presents to us well known names. Among them figures the Abbe Galiani, whom Count Orloff treats with great indulgence, and several literary and scientific men who died a violent death, for having believed in the impe rishability of the Parthenopean Republic. Some truly illustrious men are to be found in this gal lery, into which the author has perhaps intro duced rather too many persons. Among the curious works mentioned by him, there are seve ral ! hose titles a l one s t rong l y exc i te our curio sity ; ''such as that of Melchiore Delfico, On the uncertainty and inutility of History. What we have seen for the last thirty years, and what our enlightened men promise, lead us to fear • that Signor Delfico is in the right. The Hellenist Christ of Domenico Diodati will not less astonish the reader. The author pretends to prove, that after the partition of Alexander's conquests the language and customs of the Greeks were intro duced into Juda, as well as into the remainder Of Syria, and into Egypt, and that oar Saviour and the Virgin rslary spoke Greek. The reflections of Count Orloff are frequently more interesting than his biographical notices : he admits with sorrow that the fine treatises on Public Economy, of which the Neapolitan philo sophers were so prodigal, have had no influence on the destiny of this unfortunate and beautiful country ; and he makes the same remark respect ing the excellent works on agriculture which have f requently appeared at neither of which circumstances are we surprised. The agricultu rist is irresistibly led to do as his father did ; _example alone, and often repeated, can make hirn abandon the beaten track : a farmer who, in given space, shall constantly reap ten bushels of• corn more than his neighbours, will produce greater effect in favour of a new method, than the best treatises on the subject. Jealousy pro duces imitation, and in this case envy is good for something. The author is astonished at not meeting with good sacred orators in a country where religion is clothed in such brilliant and majestic forms. Thirty years we entertained the same notions; we had heard strange stories respecting the preachers of Naples, and determined to ascer tain on the spot the correctness of the reports. Twice were we convinced that the accounts had not been exaggerated. The gestures, the cries, the expressions of the preacher were of the most hideous description, and the famous ecco it vero pulcinella seemed to us a probable anecdote. nowever, after having observed the Neapolitan People some time, we came to the conclusion that their preachers are precisely those best adapted to the country. Count Orloff congratulates the Neapolitans on not possessing in the present day many poets, and he attributes this scarcity to three causes, which have in fact operated very e ffi caciously : A taste for the Ossianic kind, the rage for im provisation, and the inclination of most minds towards politics and the sciences. These are enou g h Vir to extinguish the fire of Homer and of g' ; and we wonder how that of Sannazarius could have resisted their united effects. The Sciences especially must have inflicted the most fatal blow. Poetry delights in fiction, physics, in realities ; when the latter predominates, the former declines. The auth or sa y s , th a t Naples formerly main tained more than twenty millions of inhabitants ; 'we doubt it, for its mountains are too numerous, and its forests, according to ancient writers, were too extensive to render such a population pro bable. It should also be remarked, that Count Orloff does not include Sicily in his statement. Me sides, we are not disposed to place implicit re liance on the reports of antiquity ; and when we read that 300,000 Carthaginians went at diffe rent periods to attack Syracuse, we are reminded 'I the million and half men of Xerxes, and of the 80,000 combatants, fully armed and equipped, who came out of the single town of Langres. if we are to believe some writers, France and Italy are deserts in comparison with what they were in former times. A section of this volume is dedicated to the u nrolled papyri, and to newly discovered manu scripts. The number is not so considerable as Fight be expected. We w e re surprized at their slowness in unrolling the volumes, almost reduc , . e u to cinders, which have been found at Ilercu nneurn ; but since we have seen these mann seCilotil, and observed the process of unrolling th e nkl *e 'have on th e contrary been astonished 1, 1 1 4 . b!ki have been able to read a single one.

This part is a very a rk!eable addition to the work of Count Orloff. curious cannot be gratified with a more mag aecent .and diversified panorama than that of ,'" l 'Pleg- Constantinople, in the opinion of some r ee ll°fls, presents a more imposing scene. We contradict this assertion, but we doubt it ; the ' Single circumstance of a volcano seated in a Eden is a contrast which must make the balance incline in favour of Naples. Z.

In our Paper of the sth instant, we discre dited the statement which had been so positively put forth, of a new Russian Ambassador having been appointed to Constantinople, in the room of Baron STROOONOFF. Though the intelligence of this pacific movement on the part of Russia was so firmly believed in this country, that the funds rose in consequence of it one half, yet a whole week has elapsed without any confirma tion of the alleged fact, and without even the name of the supposed new Ambassador having found its way to the Public. There can be little doubt now, therefore, on the mind of any person, as to the entire falsehood of this assertion, not withstanding the confidence with which it was ad vane' d. It appears to have been a mere stock-job bing manoeuvre, and having answered the purpose for which it was invented, is abandoned without scruple by its authors. The British Monitor, the Editor of which possesses an extensive ac quaintance with foreign affairs, and the real views of most of the Continental Courts, treats the appointment of the new Ambassador as a downright fabrication, and ridicules with great effect the prevalent notion that the Allies of Russia will be able to prevent her from attacking Turkey. " Every man conversant in modern po litics must know, that Persia would not have dared to send a man against Turkey, unless she had previously obtained the permission of Russia. But strange to say, that the Cabinets of Austria, England, and France, persist in saying that Rus sia will not act hostilely towards Turkey ! She may not do so for the present, because the Greeks are at this moment paving the way for her ; and if the report respecting Persia is cor rect, surely the Ottoman Empire will become an easy conquest. Russia will perhaps suspend her hostilities till spring." B. M.—The advocates for peace now say, that " the nature of the guarantee to be given by Turkey for the security of the Greeks," is the chief difficulty in the way of a final and lasting pacification. There is no doubt of it. There never has been doubt, except, per haps, as to the determination of Russia to have a war at all events, that the nature and extent of the guarantee to be given by Turkey, is the chief difficulty. But, for months past, those who now admit the continued existence of this difficulty, have daily contended that the difficulty was overcome,—that the Porte had acceded to the demands of Russia, and that Russia, notwith standing the departure of her Ambassador from Constantinople, was satisfied with the conces sions she had obtained. The flimsy veil, which concealed all this confident assertion, how ever, is now rent. Matters stand confess edly in the situation in which they stood previous to the departure of Baron STROGO• NOFF. The truth is, Turkey cannot give a suffi cient guarantee for the security of the Greeks, but by the absolute surrender of her own power as an independent State ; and, as we have stated all along, even if the GRAND SloNon and the Divan could he brought by foreign influence, and the dread of a Russian invasion, to consent to this self-abasement of the Ottoman power and name, the Turkish populace and sol diery would furiously resist and frustrate the execution of their intentions.—Fortunately, the power of the Greeks to resist their oppressors, notwithstanding the apathy with which the Christian Governments have looked on their heroic efforts, daily becomes more apparent and effective. Their forces are acquiring discipline, and the moral strength which arises from the consciousness of having already made a long and successful stand against their barbarian enemies ; while at the same time they are taking measures for consolidating their power and resources. In the Pelopounesus, their political and military or ganization has been greatly improved since the end of August. A general assembly or all the Notables has been ordered at Calamata ; and the Deputies from hydra and Spezzia have already arrived. From this assembly is to pro ceed the Constitution of a Central Government for Greece and the whole of the Islands. In every town a great number of Greeks are daily instructed in European tactics. At Demizana several powder mills have been erected. In Epirus the Greeks begin again to have the upper hand ; and there is the utmost harmony between the Greeks and Albanese of both religions. On the whole, we see little to fear in the position and resolution of this heroic people, and nothing to regret, except that an unfavourable feeling is said to be making progress amongst them with respect to the conduct of this country ; a feeling which the recent occurrence , at Zaute is not cal culated to remove. NEW YORK, OCT. 13.—The Albion is arrived here from Liverpool ; she lcas' brought out the Chevalier D'ANDUAGO, Minister Plenipotentiary from Spain to the United States. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM WASIIINGTON,OCT. 8. The great scarcity of money experienced here, as well as every where else, since the restoration of a sound currency, and the increased difficult) , of obtaining it, made it probable that a corre sponding increase of suits would be instituted this term ; but we are happy to find, that so far from this being the case, the number of actions for debt is not half so great as has been known at some former terms ; the number instituted by the Bank especially is greatly reduced. The Branch Bank of the United States, for example, has not found it necessary to sue on more than a dozen notes. This augurs well for the return of better times. A letter from Vera Cruz, via liavannah, of the 18th August, states, that in consequence of an agreement between Colonel SANTANA and the Viceroy General O'Domos v . , the gates of Vera Cruz are thrown open. A free communication was permitted between the inhabitants and those of the country ; at the same time the prisoners on both sides were liberated. THE ARMY.

DunLIN, Nov. B.—This day, the 19th regi ment of Foot arrived from England. On Tues day last, the transport which had a detachment of the 16th Lancers on board, arrived at the Pigeon-house Dock. Great apprehensions were entertained for her safety, as she had been eleven days missing. We understand she was obliged to put into the Isle of Man. Yesterday forenoon, a detachment of the 91st regiment, stationed for some time past at Paisley, embarked at Renfrew in the Rothsay Castle steam boat, for Greenock.—(Glasgow Courier, Nov. 8.)

DRURY LiNE.---After the repetition of Folly as it flies, on Saturday last at this Theatre, the other Farce of //it or Miss introduced Mr. FITZ WILLIAM in the part O'Rourke O'Daisy. T he talents of this actor have been so well known to the public on the boards of the Surrey Theatre, that no particular comments on his merits are necessary. He had a very difficult task to execute, consider ing that he followed so admirable a purr .orn_er as JACK JOHNSTONE, as he is usually styled in con- 1 vivial circles, a performer who is not likely to be equalled, or ever to be excelled, in his range of characters. Mr. Furzwn.u.ist, however, ac quitted himself very respectably both as an actor and a singer, and received a cheering welcome of applause, which he continued to excite during the whole of his performance. COTENT•G A RDEN.—The Exile was followed on Saturday last by a nCw farce, entitled The Venison Pasty, which was supported with great spirit by JONES,LISTON, Mrs. GIBBS, and Mrs. CHATTER LEY, which, with all their excellent garnishing, they could not make acceptable to public taste. It encountered much opposition in its progress, and towards the conclusion the clamour was so great that when Mr. JONES appeared, after the fall of the curtain,to announce the performance intended for this evening, not a syllable of what he said could be heard. In consequence of a general call for the Manager, Mr. FAWCETT came for ward, and informed the audience, that, with the usual conformity to public opinion, Mr. JONES had been deputed to signify that The Blind IJoy would be the afterpiece on Monday. The Ve nison Pasty is cqusequenily withdrawn, but whe ther for the purpose of being re-cooked, and to be again laid upon the theatrical table, is more than we presume to know. The design of the piece seemed rather to give scope to the talents of the respective Performers than to present a dish very palatable in itself, and, in justice to them all, it must be acknowledged to haVe been well .served up.. • After the Marquis of LONDONDERRY landed from the Venus steam-vessel, his Lordship sent a message to the KING advising his MAJESTY to adopt the same passage from Calais ; but his MA JESTY, with a better taste and knowledge of na val science, and a more intimate acquaintance with the resources which the officers and seamen of his naval service possess in moments of peril, declined embracing his Lordship's opinion, it not being a cabinet question. The Royal squadron, going ten.knots, passed the steam-vessels on the passage with a facility that soon made the latter appear as though they were at anchor.—(llamp shire Telegraph.) NATIONAL SOCIETY.—Last week the General Committee of the National Society for the Edu cation of the Poor in the Principles of the Esta. blished Church held their Meeting at St. Mar tin's Vestry Room :—present, his Grace the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, the Hon.

THE NORTHERN EXPEDITION. We (PLYMOUTH JOURNAL) have been favoured with the perusal of a letter from an Officer of his Majesty's ship Fury, to a friend in Plymouth, dated July leth, 1821, from which we make the following Extract " DEAR W.—Au unexpected opportunity again presents it» self, by one of the Hudson's Bay Company ships, to let you know 1 am well, and moreover, that we are now in a fair way to get on, after being hampered among the ice almost ever since the transpoit left us on the Ist inst., and having had to contend with a tide, running in this strait at the rate of lour or five tildes per hour, which causes the ice to take different sets in the eddies ; but this cannot last long, as we perceive it to waste daily. We have had a considerable deal in rain, whi.th must inevital 'y be one of the principal causes of its dissolution so fast. It is intended that we shall first make the Upper Savage Islands, and to the north of which we expect to find the passage into the Polar Sea. Our ships are very bad to manage :4 - nong the ice, being below their beamings, and consequently . bl , lew the doubling. We are at this moment getting some heavy thumps in boring through the ice to gtt to the Strangers.
