INTESTINE WAR. THE GREEKS. De 0 1" The following will he found important to mas ters of vessels in . the Newfoundland, Quebec, and British America trades : " Fool 'gainst fool is barb'rous civil war." " When rogues fall out," &c. &c. ( Continued from yesterday': 1 16 SePt' th, vearillAf f , ar'" It is well known that a radical war now rages among those great Reformers, Conntrr, HUNT, and JOHNSON, who having but one common aim, and no difference in prin4les, might be expected to adhere towards each other in an infamous con federacy. It so happens, however, that JOHNSON has turned against HUNT, and loaded him with all sorts of opprobrious imputations in a pamphlet. The following is HuNT's answer : ( Extract ofa Letter from Dartmouth. dated Sept. 2, addressed to the Committee of Lloyd's.) On perusing the public prints, a day or two since, my attention was particularly attracted to an account of the loss of the brig Spence, M. WILSON, master, at St Shott's, in the island •of Newfoundland, on the 16th of July last ; and from the late melancholy loss of his Majesty's brig Drake, at the same place, I am induced to offer a few observations on the reasons why those losses have so frequently occurred at that pl:ce within a few years, and without the survivors being able to account for them, and also to point - out the means of avoiding them in future, if those means which are in the posses sion of all Commanders of vessels are duly at tended to. Being a native of the Wand, having been nearly 20 years engaged in its fishery, and the greatest part of that time having been spent in close attention to its duties, will, I trust, en title my observations to some consideration, par ticularly when I state that they are the result of information derived from the oldest and most ex perienced boat-masters who have been employed in fishing from the centre of the eastern to the western coast of the island, and more particu larly at Cape St. Mary's. Those men, though unlearned, I have found entitled to considera tion ; and their practice has proved their conclusions to have been correct. It is well understood by those boat-masters that there is in general a strong current setting in from the eastward, along the western coast, which, after passing Cape Pine, tends more towards St. Mary's and Placentia bays. This current, in my opinion, is sensibly felt, at least twenty leagues S.W. of Cape Pine, and becomes more rapid as you approach the land, its velo city increasing as the wind favours it, but at all times of sufficient magnitude to endanger the safety of any ship approaching, from the south and west in foggy weather, and being ignorant of its existence. In order to avoid the danger arising from this current, the fishermen, in foggy weather, and when returning from the western coast to their homes on the eastern coast, inva riably use the lead, depending more on their depth of water than their compass, and never approaching nearer the land than thirty-five fa thoms of water. The ground being more of an inclined plane on the west coast than on the east, you will find that depth of water a considerable distance from the land ; in fact, sufficient to ensure the safety of any ship passing the coast. On passing to the eastward of Cape Race, the ground becomes more broken, and the depth of water increases so very fast, that in your course from Cape St. Mary's to avoid Cape Race, you will, when to the eastward of it, find yourselves in 50 fathoms, and when advanced a very short distance further, in 60 and 70 fathoms of water ; consequently, you are then clear of any land, and at liberty to pursue your course to the eastward, or run along the eastern coast, as circumstances may require. I do not perceive that any advantage would arise by Government establishing a post at St. Shott's to fire fog-guns; as we have at times known vessels lost in the neighbourhood of St. John's, where the practice is invariably followed. A due attention to the lead and line should be enforced ; for if men will not take care of themselves, it is hard to expect others to do so for them." 16, a t >ept— imission tichartlos, Oct. 15 ' o at , ors/ 111 r. T. a 31r. 14,x+ 5 Of Ban SiSei ale. at Oct. Ode 15' t SOliC l ' or, SC"-n°' " It is necessary to inform my readers that there are two per sons at Manchester very often and very improperly confounded, and believed to be the same; one of them (Mr. John Johnston, the Radical tailor, of Salford) is an old veteran in the ranks of liberty, and a staunch reformer ; he it was who was incarce rated three years in Chester Castle with Baguely and Drum mond ; he has never flinched froni his duty, nor offered to com• promise with his persecutors : the other (Joseph Johnson) keeps a brush shop in Shude-hill ; he was one of your mush room reformers, who figured for a very short time upon the political stage in 1818 and 1819. He was' one of those who invited me to Manchester, to attend a public meeting ; and when I arrived there, he had not the courage to appear upon the hustings with me. The second time I went to Man chester he was one of those who did attend upon the hustings on the 16th of August, and was sentenced to he imprisoned in Lincoln Castle for one year, from which place he has been liberated about fifteen months ; he was never heard of amongst the Reformers before, and he has kept completely aloof from them since ; it being Mr. John Johnston, of Salford, who has attended all the public meetings at the Union-rooms, &e. which we have read an account of in the Manchester Observer: and it was this gentleman who was invited with Mr. Saxton, by the Radicals of Birmingham, to attend the liberation dinner of Mr. Wooler, and not Joseph Johnson,. the brushmaker. The latter has lately published what he calls an address to me, which his patron, Cobbett, has advertised twice in his Register, full of falsehoods and the most base misrepresentations. When this Johnson was confined in the New Bailey ; at Man chester, after the 16th of August, together with myself and nine others, he underwent several secret examinations, un known to any of us, before the Magistrates ; and in order to screen himself; he offered to give up the private letters that I hal written to him previous to the 16th. Ile wrote to his wife, and gave the letter to the Magistrates, desiring her to deliver all my letters to them. Wnen they applied for them, the answer was that Mrs. Johnson had given all those letters to his attorney, Mr. Wood. Johnson then wrote to Mr. Wood, and ordered him to give up my letters to the Magistrates; but Mr. Wood had more honour than his dent, and positively refused to do so, or all my private correspondence would have been placed by the said brush-maker in the hands of the Manchester Magistrates, while I was in their custody under a charge of high treason. Johnson, upon reflection, was so overwhelmed with his own baseness, that he attempted to * * * * *. These facts were communicated to me before I left Lancaster Assizes, which I certainly did not give any credit to, nor should 1 ever have believed it possible, if Johnson himself had not confessed it to me, Sir Charles Wol sely, and Mr. Pearson. After he had written these letters to his wife and his attorney, to deliver up my private letters.to the Magistrates, he felt so much remorse that no (his words were) " I took out my razor several times, with an intention," &c. i. certainly shall not disgrace myself by any farther notice of the falsehoods and calumny of such a man as this. For two years after this transaction he had the sense to hold his tongue, and never appeared amongst the Reformers, but he has now become the tool and agent of a more artful scoundrel than himself, who, to gratify his own malice, has caused this poor degraded crea ture to drag himself once more before the public.

The following statement is contained in the "Monthly Extracts from the Correspondence of the British and Foreign Bible Society," for the present month : " Besides the copies confided (by the Hull Auxiliary Bible Society) to the masters of fishing ships, , for sale among their own crews, Bibles and Testaments in foreign lan guages have, in several instances, been taken on board to answer any occasions which might arise in the course of . the voyage. The history of one of these, an Esquinzaux Testa ment, will be interesting :—ln May, 1820, (the Captain reports,) being in South East Bay, we were visited by several inhabitants, both male and female, who staid on board a con siderable time. Having been supplied with some Esquimaux Testaments previous to leaving Hull, I gave one to a leading character among them. He appeared to know what book it was, and pointed with his finger to the sky, saying, very good !' He then asked me, 4 What truck?' or what he must give me in exchange. I endeavoured to make him understand that I gave it him ; and he put the book into his bosom. During the time that he remained on board, he wrote several Christian names on a slate, which could he distinctly made out.— After some time he pulled oif his booth, and gave them into my hand. I asked him why he did that ? He immediately took the book from his bosom, to show it was for that, that he was ready to part with so essential a part of his dress. I in timated that I could not.think of taking them, and endeavoured to make him understand that I had brought out the books on purpose to give freely to such persons as himself; but he threw down the boots on the cabin floor, ran upon deck, and immedi ately got over the ship's side along with his companions, who descended with him into their boats, when the whole company gave us three cheers and returned on shore." • QUADRUPED POSTMAN.-Mr. JOHN FREEMAN, of Framsden, some time since, gave to Mr. C. FREEMAN, orStowupland, a mastiff bitch (and her whelp), which is now kept by him, and which regularly goes twice a week, sometimes thrice, from Stowupland to the parish of Frams den (in the.night), thereby establishing a post between the parties, it being a distance of about nine miles. Letters'are secured upon the' dog's neck in the evening by Mr. F. of Stowupland, and are received by Mr. F. of. Framsden. the fol lowing morning ; the dog remains during the day, never longer, and returns to Stowupland, where letters are received the succeeding morn ing.---(Bury But this is not all, COBBETT and HUNT, once bosom friends, have also quarrelled, and are do ing all they can to expose each other. There is more than poetical justice in this warfare, and it is but fit that such men sho'uld reflect disgrace upon each other, and leave no doubt on the public mind as to their pretensions to the charatters of Patriots and Reformers. It seems that HUNT had presented a quantity of his Breakfast Powder to the suffering Irish. COBBETT ridicules this pre sent, declaring that the starving labourers of the sister country did not want to be insulted by this impudent bragging , charity, whose feeling heart' ships them off half a ton of rye-meal, costing three pounds, and - stuns, or would stun, the nation with the intelligence of the boon, put down at " fifty-six pounds !" and the benevolent AUNT thus comments upon his quondam friend's paragraph " I might ask if the writer of this fliliehood ever gave half that sum in charity in his life ? But the writer knew, when he put forth this barefaced lie, that the port charges and shipping cost me nearly three pounds; he knew that the mere coals for manufacturing the half ton of breakfast powder cost nearly that sum ; he knew, when he was writing the lie, that the rye alone cost double that sum ; he knew thlt. the wages alone for manu facturing half a ton of my breakfast powder, amount to nearly double that sum; he knew that the rent and taxes amounted to more than that sum ; and he knew that the casks and the paper in which it was packed cost half the sum that he has named as the whole expence—three pounds. I have been often asked, what motive can Gobbett have for writing such barefaced false hoods, that every person who reads them must cry shame at his baseness ? I gen'erally answer, that habit is a second nature ; b'ut in this, instance , k. envy, hatred, and malice, and all uncha ritableness,' drive him thus to expose himself. The fact is, he knows 1 am in possession of certain facts, for which he will never forgive me." _ Adverting to COBBETT'S " malignant tongue," HUNT writes as follows, meaning to say that COBBETT cannot accuse him of doing what he thus intimates that CounETT has really done : " Cobbett has told several of my friends that he will not openly attack me while I am in prison, but the moment I leave this place he will fall foul on me. It would be much more manly for him to attack me openly at once, than it is to take every dirty opportunity to injure me privately, by dark and cowardly insinuations. If lie (Cobbett) speaks the truth, he will never accuse me of having offered to compromise with the Government, and denying it to all my friends, till it was - proved by a letter in my own hand-writing in a Court of justice-41e will not accuse me of denying my own handwrit ing, and swearing that it was a forgery, till it was proved to be the contrary—he will never accuse me of having deserted my friends, and fled from my country when she was in danger—he will not accuse me of having raised large subscriptions all' over the country, and refused to acknowledge the receipt of the mo ney. In fact, he may lie and. swear-all sorts of things against me, but he will not, I believe, accuse me of having become a fraudulent bankrupt to.cheat all my creditors; neither will he accuse me of having attempted to bilk my bail, nor of advising a political rival to bilk his bail and fly the country, merely that I may have the opportunity of saying, that he was as great a rogue and as great coward as myself." It might be supposed. that after these mutual accusations, upbraidings, and. exposures, these men would sink, into silent obscurity, kit they will doubtless have the audacity to come forward with new pretensions to public virtue, and fiAa that there will still -be fools enough to fall into , their snares. The next prejudice encountered by our author in the cause of humanity, is the opinion entertained of the Greeks, both before and after the com mencement of their arduous struggle. We are all perhaps too apt to compare them with their glorious ancestors, .who had risen to such a proud eminence, both in the arts of peace and wari and who have been so long thestandard and the model by which other nations have also risen toeminence ; but when we look to the state of their posterity, we are apt to inquire where Greece is, or where is the spirit of its gallant heroes and renowned Philosophers ? This, however, is by no means a fait comparison, and is doing great injustice to the modern Greeks, who should not be called to account for the degeneracy of the centuries before them, which suffered sucha-governthent to arise in that country, so adapted to libertyos is enough to repress it, though not entirely to extinguish all the energies, moral and religious, - of men who live under such gross oppression. it may be a useful warning to any people not to suffer encroachments to be made upon' the rights of either order in the State, and to strive with all their might to preserve that balance of power, without which all States, whatever may be- their present strength, must sooner or later totter and stumble into the same ruin with Greece ; but yet it ought not to be made any the least argument against the personal character of the Greeks themselves, who so far from being instrumental to that ruin, were only suffering under all its oppressions, and are now exerting themselves with the noblest and most patriotic zeal to burst their chains asunder, and become, once more worthy of the Grecian name. If the account is true of their late ex ploits at Thermopylae, so famed of old for the display of the Spirit's pre-emineuce above the Body, the manes of their fathers must be in the very centre cf Elysium, and the blood of their brothers, so barbarously massacred wherever they could be taken captives, of 'hostages, and of all their women and helpless chil dren, be amply avenged. What a glorious subject for the Poet, the Historian, or the Philosopher even, if he is not one .of those• modern illuminati; who' are so dazzled with versal light as not to feel any cheering influence from some peculiar rays; and, from a catholic philanthropy to the whole species of the world at large, cannot condescend to feel the least sympathy with a particular class or a single spot: at all events it ought to remove at once from us the prejudice which too many are inclined to indulge, while they are indulginw their own temper of indolence, that the modern Greek has so far degenerated from the spirit of his ancestors, that he deserves to be ranked among those whom their own Aristotle affirmed (the tyrannical pedant ought to have been flogged by his own pupils for the affirmation) to be destined by Nature herself for slavery. Little was he think ing at - the time, that this sentence of bondage would now be passed upon his own countrymen, who were so renowued for maintaining their own liberty and that of other nations' against the Colossal PovVer that threatened to stalk over them with its gigantic strides,' and give them a practical illustration of this his degrading theory. —if we would make a fair and candid com parison with the days of old, we should rather judge with the tone of my Lord EiISKINE's . painphlet on this subject, " of what the Greeks under good government are capable of being, by looking back to what they have been. At least their pedigrees, in which we can trace so many . great men who never should have died, ought to protect them from the Saracens who cannot shew, in all their escutcheons, a single man who should have lived." - Let us hope that notwithstanding the state of degradation under which they have been so long groaning, they may now have caught the spirit of their noble fathers, from which they had, by an odious tyranny, for so many ages de parted ; and overleaping the unnatural boundaries within which they have been hitherto restrained, spring forward as one man to avenge centuries of bondage and oppression, and proclaim to the world that they Will no longer be kept slaves in their own land ; that they are not fighting to gratify ambition or a luSt of power, much less to . promote any mercenary interest, or intrude in the least upon the rights and interests of others, but in their own cause of legal self-defence,—to wrest from their tyrant conquerors those regions which they have usurped,. and once more to enjoy the " freehold" that of right belongs to ti. in, before it was corrupted by the impious braving of the Mussulmen liarsovho boasted to take possession, like Sennacherib of old, under the title of the Lord, as if he had said " Go up against this city and destroy it." If, in consequence of their suc cessful hypocrisy, that far-famed country fell under their heavy yoke, - and ever since its charac ter has been degenerating and long sinking down . even to the prostration of their inhuman conquerors —if the evil of degradation lies upon them (says SHERIDAN) the guilt of it rests upon their oppressors. " It is shameless sophistry to convert the consequences of suffering into charges against the sufferer, or the results of tyranny into an apology for the tyrant: for it is a maxim no less of universal justice than of English law, that no man is entitled to profit by his own wrong. Besides, the argument proves too much ; for, according to such reasoners, the Turks should be bound by treaty to increase their tyranny, and the consequent demoralization of their victims, tenfold—and there would then be ten times as much reason for the Turks continu ing to torment, and the Greeks to suffer. It is arguing in a vicious circle to contend that nations are 'tot to be delivered from a bad government till they have shewn themselves worthy, of a better ; it insures immortality to oppression ;--for the 'his tory of the world sloes not produce an instance of any people being regenerated and reformed by a bad government,--sand where could these be a worse government, if it deserves the name, than that under which the Greeks had been groaning ? " When the present revolution broke out, the Greeks had been, during upWards of acentury, under a. government which, though I am not prepared to call it the most, cruel; is certainly the most pernicious that ever afflicted a people ;' and they peculiar , ly exemplified the usual consequences of such a state. The tional character, already debased under the eastern empire, and the subsequent tyranny of Venice, sunk lower still : the total insecurity of property bad paralysed industry and enterprise, while habitual tyranny produced deceit : the difficulty of , printing confined literature to a comparatively small portion of the population ; and the Greeks were, upon the whole, as far below their western as they were above their eastern neighbours. . In England, however, we under-rated them, from causes which threw no discredit on either them or us. Our acquaintance was prinCipally founded on the reports of travellers, who, .excluded from most parts of Europe, saw them in precisely the most 1111.' favourable point of View,—in their own country either cowed or corrupted by their Turkish masters—grovelling In the provinces,.. or caballing in the capital. There were very few Greeks resi dent in England ; for, besides the difficulty thrown in their way by the Levant Company, they, like the Jews, preferred countries in which there was little industry or enterprise to com:. pete with and to counteract their own. Still Ido not hesitate to asserts that there were—not indeed in Greece where a Greek could neither be rich nor learned, nor otherwise eminent, with iMpunity, but of the Greek nation in Italy and Germany,— more men of enterprise and information than there were in Por tugal during any period of that romantic and persevering at tachment which induced John Bull to keep her like a little worthless mistress, and to sacrifice to her interest the custom of 26,000,000 of Frenchmen,—more than there were at the precise moment when his heart was softened, and his purse opened, by the great Lisbon earthquake,—more than there were When alcinst yesterday he fought for her, before her sons had been made good soldiers by Marshal Beresford, of to losable, Citizens by their late revolution. There was more over this material difference between the two nations : there existed no apparent excuse fur the degradation of Portugal ; she was protected by England, and unmolested by foreigners; sae had the port of Lisbon for commerce and the University of Coimbra for literature, and she did little in trade and less in letters; she had printing presses on the spot, and she produced • neither original works of talent nor translations of the slightest utility. The Greeks long before their present resurrection had *hewn great commercial . enterprise, and an insatiate thirst for knowledge, under peculiar disadvantages f while they crowded the Universities of Ger Many and Italy, they had established many primary schools throughout the whole of Greece, and had printed in foreign countries translations of most of the European works of eminent utility. They had fertilized the plains of Hungary and the Crimea by their industry, and peopled the expanse of the Levant with their sails. duals of their nation filled, with honour to themselves and to their country, high military and diplomatic offices in the Courts of France, Russia, and Austria, and several Greek Px:ofessors occupied chairs in Italy. In Hydra, pezzia, and Ipsara, where the Greeks enjoyed a precarious municipal independence, where they received no encouragement but oblivion, and owed their purchased inspunitynf exertion not to the benevolence,• but to the combined avarice and indolence of the Sublime Porte, the mere temporary removal of the dead weight of despotism. had enabled the elasticity of Grecian industry and enterprise to . riso from the prostration of ages. These barren rocks pos sessed numerous fleets and an extensive trade, while the conti nental defenceless city of Aivali was adorned by a college of three hundred students and several magnificent hospitals ; a lazaretto, the great desideratum in Turkey, with other works of utility, was about to be built, when the present Revolution broke out, and this city was burnt by the Turks ; thiese of its' 45,000 . inhabitants who escaped from slaughter dispersing throughout Greece, where, unless relieved by the band of fo reign charity, they will probably sink under the more gradual process of famine. The three islands are as yet untouched.' and crowded with the remnant of these fugitive women and' children whom : they at first received, and with whom they are. sharing their last morsel ; they still remain examples of what the Greeks can be made, by a momentary relaxation of Turkish" tyranny." IRELAND. 'l'llE DUBLIN COMMISSION.-SATURDAY. ARRESTS FOR HIGH TREASON. After some routine business had been gone through, Mr. HAMlttox addressed the Court, and said he appeared on be- . half of six personsovho, as they stated in their petition, were arrested in Dublin for high treason on the 2Sth June, and kept in the Head Police-Office until sth July, when they were com mitted to Kilmainham Gai)l; where they have since remained in close confinement, and they prayed the Court would order them to be biought to trial during the present°CoMmission.
