FOREIGN IN.TELLIGENCE. 'PARIII, SETT. 4.—A : private letter from Frank fort furnishes us with the following details are much occupied here by the approaching Congress, end attempts are made to calculate its probable results. The sys -tem of the Austrian Cabinet is known; and it is naturally ex ported that it will again preponderate in the diplomatic assem- Mies4f Vienna and Verona. It is to be presumed that every cifoirt Rill a i.edoubled to maintain at any price the existing Aysiera ; and that above all thingi a war in Europe will beguard ed against, particidarly in the East. In a word, to give stabi lity to ancient institutions, and to prevent innovation, is the lirlimaterial policy which animates, and which will continue to animate, the Diplomatists who are supposed to possess the great est influence in the destinies of Europe. " The affairs of Spain and Portugal must necessarily embar rasa these into , dons in some degree. If the events of the .7th .a July at Madrid had taken another turn, much less embar rassment would have been felt. But upon this important pciirie. o; ;pions are divided ; on the one hand 7 is wished that the same steps should be taken against Spain which were taken two years ago with respect to Naples and Piedmont ; but others do nos wish, as is believed, that recourse shotild be had to such mea tAws, and it is believed that in England there will be found many opponents .to such a measure. It is added that .seve , ral Men-Ahem of the Cabinent . of St. James's arc or opinon that diplomatic measures only should be taken with regard to the peninsula. "With respect to Turkey, it is known that a great regulating Minister consider'S it as are extettiiv . e Marsh, inhabited by two de scriptions of savage !ka t *. . This i4 . .the expression Which he uses in one of his confidential letters.directed to a friend on the, bor , den of the Rhine. This Minister is decidedly of opinion that the proposed European civilization, such as he understands it, is much to be desired ; but Russia is already so great, and so close to us ! How can we without danger furnish to her this new temptation,? And the more so when we recollect what have .been the views in this respect which have constantly directed the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh before the advancement of the .Emperor Alexander to the Throne ? " It is to be presumed that Greece will be abandoned to her own resources, at least ostensibly. if she succeeds, it _ will be always time to introduce her into the general system of Europe. This plan will in addition have the advantage of "taking from a great Northern Power the influence which she hadin Germany, and which she must inevitably lose when it is perceived that she abandons solely to their courage and perse verance the religious cause of the Greeks. " The death of the Marquis of Londonderry does not, as ap pears, portend any modifications in the great projects which are about to undergo discussion. It is not wished to assume an air which would make it suppose he was of so much importance, and it appears determined— " Ist. To declare firmly and openly against Revolutions of every species. " 2d. To confide to Austria the guarantee of Italy and of Germany. " 3d. To agree to a secret Article relative to Spain. " 4th. To renew those guarantees given to the ocher States of Europe. "sth. To declare themselves neuter; at least ostensibly so, in the affairs of Turkey. " 6th. To invite the different Powers to abstain from an open war with Spain. " 7th. To agree to some generally repressive measures with regard to the Press. " Such are the ideas generally entertained in Germany re lative to the new Congress, but men, who think, feel little in quietude ; they know that there are in• acts—that there are in circumstances, an evidence and a force, against which all the re sources of diplomacy, and all the efforts of power, must (Le Constitationnel. ) The Minister of the Prussian Cabinet, Count De Bernstorff, Chief of the Department of Foreign Affairs, left Berlin on the 23d of August for Vienna, after having received, a-short time before, dispatches from the King of. Prussia, who is at present at Tceplitz. The Prince Chancellor will not, it is said, assist at the conferences at -Vienna. It is not even known whether the King will proceed to that capital. His Majesty's route will not be decided upon until after his 'return to Berlin, which k fixed for the 29th of August.—(Gazette de Hambourg.) The assembling of a Prussian Camp at Zeu- chern, near Zeltz, in Prussian' Saxony, at this moment, occupies much of public attention. It is expected that the King of Prussia-will go there on leaving Tceplitz. The King of Prussia has at length determined to convoke. at. Berlin on the Ist October a cer tain number of the Deputies' from the different Prussian Provinces on both Banks of the Rhine, for the purpose of consulting them as to the future organization of Prussia. It is said that They will first proceed to decide the general Constitution, after which the Constitution of the different Departments will be inquired into and revised. The news from Trieste,dated the 15th August, states that all' the Isles of the iEgeau Sea have made common cause with. Hydra., Ypsita, and Spezzia, and have engaged to furnish armed ves beig and troops. The deliverance of Negropont is consid,erect as certain ; independence has already been proclaimed in 70 Communes, and the Turks ouly hold two principal forts, which be obliged,tosurrender , almost immediately. We learn from Ancona that the 'furco-Egyp ; Jim) aquadron .dixiileA - into three parts and is . at one part has joined•the,great Turkish fleet. at Tenedos. The Senate of the Mores 1109 rati. : lied the capitulations of Cor_on and of Modon ; these two places were delivered to the. Greeks on the Uth of July. We Learn from the frontiers of Molda=via that, osa the. night of the I.lth or 12th of August, the Janissaries set fire to Jassy, and that 2,000 houses became a prey to the flames. On the departure of the courier • who brought this news, the fire continued to rage. A few days before 800 Jani ssaries had arrived ,at Jaisy.---,(Gatette d'Augs 6urgh, Sept. 3.)

COURT OF, ASSIZES OF POITIERS. • CONSFI RAct . OF THOUARS AND SAUMUR. l'll`ll`CO OF SEPTEMBER 1. 'The examination of the yens d'armes of Thouars, who had bey compelled to march to Satimur, was continued. GOiraud, Ex-gendarme, deposed exactly the.same as Boc- quiault and 31airet yesterday. While he stated, that several muiketsinid been levelled at him, .and that he recognised one young man among his assailants, he 'admitted that the night was very dark.—Navy, another Ex-gendarme, deposed to the sanfe‘facts. Pascal . Paindessous, Sexton at Thouars, gave evidence, that Pombas had sounded the Tocsin, and compeller} Samson to pull down the white flag. • - L'Abbe Jagault, Cure of Thouars,. aged tixty, deposed, that he was called .up on the 24th of February,' by. three per sons, Saunion, Meudier and another. They desired me to ac company them to their General ; I demanded' their authority ; they said every thing was reversed, and they were masters. I refused to accompany them without authority. Pombas was called, who desired me to accompany him to the General. I was conducted to General Berton. On demanding to speak to him, he told me to be quiet ; my character should be respected, and I should not be insulted. I was conducted to the garden by M. Delon, and afterwards to the Place de •Lavaux, where the Mayor reclaimed us, and Gen. Berton released us. I was well treated by M. Delon. M. -GuILDAUT, Juge at Bressuire, was surrounded by seve ral people ; bayonets were pointed at him, and one of the troop cried out—" In the name of the sovereign people we have orders to arrest you." He was carried before Berton, who told him that the Provisional Government was established, and that it was all over with the Bourbons. He heard cries of " Vive la Liberte," " Vive la Republique." He was treated, however, with great politeness. Henry Gaspar, gun-maker, at Thouars, was visited on Feb. 24 by Pombas, accompanied by 20 or 30 men, who demanded arms, which I gave him. An invoice was signed by General Berton, who told me he was going to Saumur with his troop, and that I should there be paid for the muskets. Francois Charpertier expected his waggons at Thouars, and they not arriving he went to meet them. He was met on the road by a patrol and condUcted .to General Berton, who took his waggons, and give him a paper signed by him promising to pay for them. Another witness was treated exactly in the same manner. Louis Boudil, " Concierge de la Mairie, at Thouars, was there when Berton arrived with Pombas and others, and witnessed the noise they made, and heard them talk of taking arms. Michael Chicaurd deposed to being requested to join the party by Delon.; on refusing they did not force him, because they took only volunteers. M. de la Ville Hauge Colonel of Infantry, was roused on the morning of the 25th of Feb. by information that people were in the city with the tri-coloured cockade, and that the Generale had been beaten. 1 repaired to the Commune, where I was arrested by Pombas. Delon told me that no harm 'would be done to me, but that 1 was arrested on account of my influence. His wife was threatened to have her house hiirnt and plundered by Heureux, if she did not give up her horses. The son of this witness confirmed his father's statements. Several witnesses deposed to having been invited by Pombas, Masse, and others of the prisoners to take up arms. Anton Poulet, Lieutenant, living at Thouars, was invited, to meet General Berton on February 24, who gave him, irt:writ ing,, a commission as Commander of the National Guards at Thouars, and recommended him to provide for the tranquillity of the place. He did not, however, act on this commission. Devalee, Sous-Prefet of Bressuire, was inforthed on the morning of Feb. 24, that the gates of Thouars were guarded by men with the tri-coloured cockade. He assembled two brigades of gensdarmes, and marched towards Thouars. On the road Vendean peasants offered to join him, but he refused. At Thouars he was told Berton was expected to return from Sau mur. He took measures for the security of the town, and sent his gendarmes out after prisoners. Berton had forced nobody from Thouars to accompany him ; those who went were volunteers. _ _ Other witnesses then deposed to hearing the troops of Berton cry out on their route, Vive la Libert6 !—Vive le Roi de Rome bas les Droits Rcunis." SITTING OF SEPTEMBER 3. _ _ M. Henri Joly Canuel, Maire of Montreuil, deposed to Ber ton and his troop appearing there on Feb. 24. The inhabitants were invited by Delon to take up arms, but remained quiet.— Gen. Berton invited the Brigadier of the Gensdarmes to follow them, but he refused. No force was used. Alexis Rousseau, .11Iarechal de Logis at Thouars, command ing the brigade of Montreuil on Feb. 24th, saw on that day a troop of cavalry coming, which he took for an escort of prison ers. The General who commanded it came to me 'and told me to order my men to take their horses and follow him. On hearing the cries of " Vive la Charte Vive la LiherV. !" I sent intelligence to Saumur that a band of insurgents was ap proaching; I was again invited by Delon to accompany them; he told me it was a general movement ; they talked of taking my arres, but did not do it. On their going away, I repaired by a different road to Saumur. Gen. Berton was the first per son who spoke to him. Charles Botret, gendarme; deposed that Caf./.!, one of the ac cused, informed him before the arrival of General Berton, that he was coming, followed by a column of 10,000 men. Another Gendarme deposed the same. At half-past one o'clock, the Sitting was suspended. COURT OF ASSIZES OF PARIS. AFFAIR: OF- ROCHELLE, • SITTING OF SEPTEMBER 3. M.

They were taken 'to Arta, where the. Barbarians cut off their 'ears and noses, and put out their eyes, and sent them back in this condition to, the camp of the Greeks, who, inflamed with anger at this sight, fell upon the Mahomedans and retaliated, by cutting in pieces 340 prisoners, who fell into their hands. _ _ While these scenes of horror where passing in the south of Epirus, Murk Botzario, issuing from the mountains of Sidi; penetrated by the plateau of Joannina and over-ran the post of. Caltana Choria, from which he drove the Turks, who escaped only by embarking on the lake, to return to the foit of Joannina. _ . _ " Letters from Parga say, that the plague has appeared at Paranthia, and in a great many villages of the Chamouri. "The latest accounts from Zante say, that four American frigates or corvettes are cruising before the Castle of Patras. At the departure of the post, there was a report of a sanguinary combat at Thermopylm, on the 7th and Bth of July, of which various accounts were given, according to the inclinations of the narrators. _ _ _ " The death of Odysseus was generally spoken of—a loss which ,wastriore.than made up for by-the success of the brave and prudent Mark Botzario. No reliance is now placed in Greeee .on the assistance of RusSia ; to which, as Chourschid Paeha; has publicly- announced, ' 6 the Porte had deigned to grailt peace, since it has abandoned the cause of its Greek fellow ; „Christians, and recognised the pre-eminence of the Cres- - eentinve the Cross." Though this is merely the boasting of a barbatian, it is not easy to describe the sinister impression ,10ir.41 it i hks,made qn the minds of the Christians: . - Arta the taking of_Athens, t4ie Greeks likviiigleattit tlil . massacres at. )3ao;' rails - VA bi'lMisiitritig' all the Turks.

It is afflicting, that amidst so many instances of invin cible valour and perseverance religion and humanity should have to .deplore excesses, of which Christian soldiers should never be guiltf"- Fit A N 0R T, AUG. 26.—Several conferences have already taken place at Vienna in'the office for Foreign Affairs, at which Prince 3letternich Presided. At these conferences, which may be considered as 'preliminary proceedings to those of the ap proaching Congress, the - following Ministers have been succes sively invited to attend : For France, the French Ambassador, the Marquis de Cara man ; for Great Britain, Sir Gordon; for Prussia, Prince Hatzfeld ; for Russia, M. de Tatischefr. It is affirmed, that in the famou's battle at Thermopylw ' the Greeks were aided by the counsels of a foreign General of dis tinction, who came from Corinth. This officer, who observed the strictest incognito, fought in the ranks merely as a Greek Cap_tain. BRUSSELS, SEPT. 3.—The Amsterdam Journal, of the 29th, contains the list of the names of the two hundred and nine Greek merchants who were put to death at Chio by the Turks, which list we also published on the 28th. A Lieutenant of the French Douaniers was killed a few days ago by.a musket shot fired by an officer who was lying in am bush near Valenciennes, and who had aimed at a dog, sup posed to be carrying contraband goods. Count Hardenberg, the Hanoverian Minister Plenipoten tiary to the Court of Vienna, has passed through this city on his way to London. FROM THE DANUBE, AUG. 24.—We have accounts of the appearance of Turkish and Greek ships of war on the West coast of the Morea : the two squadrons were, however, not strong, and seemed to be only detachments of larger fleets.— A letter from Corfu speaks of a naval action, in which the Turks are said to have suffered severely. In Northern Al. bania, the projected reunion of all the tribes inhabiting that district with the Paclia of Scutari, has really been effected. The alliance is concluded for the common defence against all enemies whatever. LEGHORN, AUG. 19.—Yesterday and to-day ships have ar rived in our - roads from Alexandria, Smyrna, and Malta. The accounts they have brought do not confirm the reports of naval battles : it seems certain that the Turkish fleet, which had been joined by several sail from Constantinople, has sailed from Te. nedos towards the Morea. Ismail Gibraltar, with the.ligyptian and Barbary, fleet, was crui4ing between. Smyrna and Scio. The vesselS that have come through the Archipelago, did not see any Greek fleet. It is said that the King_ of Naples will soon arrive hereon his way to the Congress at Verona. BUCHAREST, A LTG. 4.—(From a Mercantile Lctter.)—" In the course of last year the intrigues of some Hetarists induced the wife of our present Prince not to leave Cronstadt ; she sub sequently got herself divorced from her husband. The Prince caused the divorce to be confirmed by the Patriarch at Constan tinople, and it is thought she will now hardly return to Bucha rest. The Divan here has, however, sent two Boyars to Cron stadt to fetch the two Princes, and they are expected in a few days. The heat, which had increased to 33, has abated, and the thermometer to-day is at 26. We do not hear of any dan gerous diseases. Unhappily the hay and corn is burnt up, there having been no rain for these two months." MARSEILLES, AUGUST 15.—We have direct news from Constantinople of the latter end of July. The Porte circulated various accounts of victories, and announced the approaching sub jection of the Insurgents in the Morea ; the people were informed, that Chourschid Pacha, united with the Pacha of Salonichi and Hassan Pacha, had gained great advantages, and was on his march to the Morea, whither also the Turkish fleet had sailed, &c. But the better informed Turks did not give much credit to these accounts, which they considered as a contrivance to revive the fallen "courage of the Mussulmen. The Janissaries shew on all occasions their dislike to the present system. They say, that Haleb Ef. fendi is sold, and in the pay of the enemies of the Mitssulmen, anti that all the misfortunes that have happened hitherto must be ascribed to him. They are also dissatisfied with Ibraham who commands the army at Bujukdere, and has saved Haleb by his courage, in recompence for which, his friends say, he is to be made Grand Vizier, and he has, in fact, had several private audiences of the Sultan, at which Haleb was present. But well-informed persons say, that they are not on such good terms as they seem, that they fear and envy each other, and will soon be at open variance, and that Haleb is certainly far frOm thinking of doing any thing to advance -Ibrahim, on whom he can never depend. It was stated at Constantinople, that all the differences with. Russia were adjusted, and M. de Tatischeff will soon come as Ambassador. Several troops have again lately been ordered from Bulgaria, to join the army in Thessaly ; those sent before have relieved Chourschid from - his embarrass ment, and enabled him for the moment to act on the offensive. Letters from Salonichi say, there have been in Southern Thessaly sanguinary actions, with alternate success. FRONTIERS OF ITALY, AUG. 23.—Respecting the important events in Thessaly, we have re ceived information, from which it appears that the troops, which, in consequence of the orders of the Porte, successively arrived from Bulgaria and Ilumelia, immediately proceeded to Thessaly to deliver Chourschid Pacha from his embarrassing situation. The troops of armed Greek peasants which occupied the defiles of Olympus could not oppose any effectual resistance to this army, and retreated into inaccessible mountains. This very formidable army, (stated to be from 15,000 to 20,000 men) advanced, therefore, without opposition to Larissa, and effected its junction with Chourschild, who had previously collec ted the remnants of "the Turkish corps of Hassan Pacha, Mahomet Pacha, &c. which bad been defeated and partly destroyed before. —Chourschid resolved, in obedience to the orders received from Constantinople, to corn mence offensive operations, even before the Pacha of Salonichi should arrive with fresh rein forcement's. The latter had sent a corps,. _which eras placed at his disposal, towards Cassandra., -and- put himself at the'.head of 'it, which. induced the Greeks that had landed there to re-embark, as they were ,not dis posed to , engage in a-serious combat with su perior numbers but they - will probably re turn as soon as the Pacha again left Cassandra with his troops. When these accounts came away, the Pacha was also on the point of march ing to Thessaly. During this time Chourschid had really gained many advantages over the Greeks, which were proclaimed at Salonichi with great pomp ; but he subsequently sustained a severe defeat which compelled him to retreat. The Turkish Authorities at Salonichi of course say nothing of this, but positi ve i n f orma ti on h a d been received there of the total failure of Chourschid's new operations. The communica tion between Larissa and Salonichi was, however, perfectly restored, and a new division of troops was really on the march from Macedonia to Thessaly ; so that some desperate battle may still be expected in the latter province. SPAIN. BAYONNE, Aua.3o.—Just after the departure fth . o e la 4t is i os e twe .e: r etirceityliedardthieiezzin lo of din entrance into Ma iiaf 2 50 n n o t thebattiliona remained at the Palace during the troubles i n J u ly. I t seems' that these soldiers, who were at Leganes, had hostile inten tions,- and had refused to repair to Madrid without arms, as they were ordered. General Copons, Commandant-General of Madrid and its Province, left the capital on the 20th, with 400 men, at ten o'clock 'at night, and arrived at Leganes on the 21st at day-break, where he obliged.the mutineers to lay down their arms, and conducted them to Madrid. The Members of the Club La Fontana have violently com plained, for some days past, of an assembly which took place in the house of a Grandee, and which was attended by several Members of the Society of L' Anillo, of those who took part in the plot for introducing two Chambers, the Veto, &c. They pretend that papers subversive of the system were read there, and even that means were considered of asking the aid of the Holy Alliance against the Evaltados. On this occasion, on the 22d, in the evening, groups of people passed before the houses of Martinez de la Rosa, D'Arguelles (Augustin), and even of the French Ambassador, crying, " Down with the Anilleros ! Down with the Ultras !" From this it appears that the moderate Constitutionalists have not lost all hope, but that their adversaries are fully resolved to make this sect disappear, several individuals of which have already left Madrid, some to go to the provinces, others to seek an asylum in France, such as the Ex-Minister Clemen cin and the Count of Goyeneche, who have lately passed through Bayonne. We have no news of the Army of the Faith, for the Secret Committee, which we have at Bayonne, has not published any for some days : we cannot receive any from the Constitution alists, because Quesada absolutely intercepts all the couriers from Navarre. It is said that Lieutenant-General Don Carlos O'Donnell, who has been for these few days at Bayonne, is going to take the command of Quesatla!s army. ' • We expected the news of the defeat of the Trappist to be confirmed by the letters from Oleron, but nothing has trans pired to-day on the subject. THE GREEKS. We gave, some time ago au extract from 'an in teresting Work of MILLS, who seems to hare'paid great' attention to his subject ; and, we-make no doubt, is very accurate in this account which he gives of the savage hostility and impllcable ran cour 'of the Turks, to all that bear the name of. Christ. 'Far are we from approving of persecu tion in any form, on account of religious opinion —for that would he to imitate the very people of whom we complain ; but yet we cannot help congratulating the present age on the fair pros. pect of mitigating the despotism which has been so long suffered to domineer over 'Christians ; merely, because the other powers have been 'too much engaged in defending themselves from the inordinate ambition of one, whom.at length, by a spirited confederacy, in which the people's voice was heard, they have vanquished, and sent down to an untimely grave. Of wars, it is true, and- rumous of wars, we have already had a surfeit—and a general peace is the com mon interest of us all, which in every age has been too much sacrificed to private interest: but who that reads this passage will not rejoice at the thought,that by a combination of secondary causes, and under the control of a superior power, an in tolerant and abominable government is now on the verge of ruin ; and that there will soon be one country less, in which to be called a Christian, is itself a sufficient cause for violence, insult, and oppression ; and this, too, in a region which was famed of old as the first capital of establish ed Christianity. How should we raise our voices as one man with a Noble Lord, though in oppo sition on other points, to congratulate the coun try on so glorious a crisis ; whether it is to be " achieved by Russians or by Greeks, orby both combined." .When their energies urge them to the commencement of a war, may they be per mitted to continue it without the interference of England : with us, such a degraded people as the Turks can have no bond of sympathy—their depression must be a general blessing ; not only' in points of commerce or of policy, but of huma nity and religion ; for to restrain a nation that restrains others, and even its own subjects, is not to invade, but to avenge the rights of hntna .nity ; and after what has been said , of their per seCution of Christians,- we need not say how greatly such a crisis is to be desired for the inte rests of Religion. " In every part of Turkey Christianity is tolerated on certain pecuniary conditions, and the insatiable avarice of the Turks is' the potent preserVative of such Christians and'JeWs as dwell` among them. These infidels are an inexhaustible treasure to the Government 'and to powerful individuals, and protection is dearly purchased. Indeed it is a principle of Moslem law, that infidels must pay double taxes to the State. The first effort of Mahommedan education is to root in the minds of children an abhorrence of Christians and Jews;_ and infants are taught to distinguish them by the name of Ghiaour (a Persian word, sig ' nifying worshipper of fire.) The Christians are treated by the Maaommedans with a cruelty which varies itself in a' thousand forms. They are interdicted from the pomp of precessions, the sound of bells or of psalmody, and every public demonstra tion of worship. In the cities of Islamism, the Christian must erect no new churches, and heavy fines to the Government in crease the expence of repairing the old. The' public and pri vate buildings of the Christians are measured by a diminutive standard; in the streets and baths they must give way to the meanest of the people ; their very dress is commanded to be dif ferent from that of the Moslems, and in but few cities dare they violate the law by appearing on horseback. According to the Mahommedan jurisprudence, a Moslem may be put to death for the murder of a tributary infidel; but it would be difficult for the friends of a murdered Christian to obtain legal justice. The wives of the Musselmans must not associate with the wives of Jews and Christians ; and a mark must be:seton the dwel lings of the infidels, in order that beggars, who come to their doors may not pray for them. In the greetings of these dif ferent people, the word &darn is carefully avoided by the Turks, on account of its affinity to the sacred words Eslam and Mos lem, and happy is the Christian if to the most. courteous salu tation of his Mahommedan Lord is not added the epithet of in fidel or dog." • " . - It would 'be endless to explain," says Sheridan, " the mutual relations of the Turks and Greeks,; but some idea may be formed from the - fact that a Turk was never capitally pun ished for the murder of a Greek ; and that the Turks; who al. ways go armed, did not suffer this impunity to be a brutum ful men, but frequently shot Greeks on very slight *Vocation: This gentleman-like nonchalance ort - the subjectof Greek lives, was imitated by the Government ; and a bill, which beats the most sanguinary of our g a me-laws, has, ere now, ISeerti in the Divan 'read a first . time," (though not ordered to be print ed,') for the effectual extirpation of the Greeks,' Many of the annoyances to which the Greeks were subject appear trivial, hut they were grievous from their every-day, occurrence, as the' most exquisite torture is said to be a succession• of _mere drops of water falling on the head. Among these Tttrkish drOPs of water may be classed the prohibition of wearing a turban, or red slippers, or bright colours. Travellers laugh at the anxiety of the Greeks to escape these privations, by purchase or office ; but suppose a case of analogy ; that on the Conquest the Saxons of England were for ever forbidden, on pain of 'death, to wear long coats; and that to this day, the distinction of the two races having been carefully kept up, their descendants walked about in short jackets. We at first suppose, that only a boy on his adthission at a public school could pine after long skirts and a falling collar ; and this infliction of jackets would seem an in adequate reason for three quarters of the inhabitants of Eng ' land hating the other fourth ; but if each jacket was an order payable at sight to the bearer' for cuffs and kicks ad kfinitum, we should cease to wonder at the wearers being irritated." "God forbid that I should become the apologist of such enormities as have disgraced the Grecian arms. If they had not occurred, I should be now imploring attention, not to their sufferings, but to their unshaded heroism. I shall not imitate those who asserted that a British army—a disciplined British army, would have done as much ; I shall only contend that the Greeks were stimulated by wrongs unprecedented. in intensity and duration ; that the mode of warfare at first precluded all influence of the enlightened few over the brutal multitude ; that the cruelties which they inflicted, horrid as they are, were not eqUal to those which they endured; and, lastly, that they have made some atonement for the irrevocable past by subsequent deeds of mercy : it is this alone which now induces me to advo. cate their cause.
