of Portugal and to the Duke of Saxe Mitelin the
British Government, no doubt, went at of its way
to do a service, naturally and got Ito thanks foal,
its pains. But if the Greek Crown gum a-begging ,
the fault is to be found in the statistics of the
kingdom and the conditions of the sovereignty,
' not in the blundering good intentions of the Bri-
tish Government. Mr. ELLIOT was instructed to
leave the Greek nation absolutely free in its elec-
tion of a Sovereign. The Greeks were at no loss
to perceive the advantage of the situation. Know-
ing full well that Prince ALIIIIRD of England could
not be their King, they nevertheless chose him
almost with one voice. Never was enthusiasm
more judiciously thrown ►way. For what is the
result? The Creeks, it is true, are still without
a King, and we shall, for our own part, not be
brokenhearted if they do without one ; but they
have gained thereputation of an ill-used people, who
have " thrown themselves upon the protection of
" England," and have been " cast adrift." This
is something in days when political sentimentality
is " discounted" on every Bourse of Europe.
From Greece the debate travelled away on Mr.
LAYARD'B wings into a geographical, ethnological,
and historical discourse on the Ottoman Empire
and the mixed races of European Turkey. The
UNDBIL SZCIRTARY of FORRIGN Amiss is a tho-
rough-going believer in the supremacy of the Turk,
and speaks out of the abundance of his heart ;
but he has a dangerous faculty for enlarging a
debate. He should be content to leave Servia
and the Danubian Principalities to Mr. DARBY
Gawrrrit, whose eloquence seems to act upon a
debate like a powerful manure, and to raise an
unexpected crop of speakers from an exhausted sub-
ject. The cession of the lonian Islands, which,
by the bye, was treated by more than one mem-
ber sa an accomplished fact, drew from Mr. DARBY
Gairrrrit a aeries of important dicta on the pre-
rogative of the Crown ■nd on constitutional fic-
tions in general. The eminent legislator might
perhaps have produced his censures and his doc-
trines with better effect upon the fulfilment by the
Greeks of the arrangements which are to precede
the cession of the Islands, and which all English-
men who care for English principles and English
honour will rejoice to see fulfilled. As soon as
Greece shall show that she has a settled Govern-
ment, that of England will certainly be ready to
fulfil its promise.

LONDON, TUESDAY, MARCH 17.

UST night the House of Commons furnished
a most semplete refutation of a favourite theory of
French journalists, the far-sighted perfidy of Bri-
tish polity in the Levant. On a simple motion—
no bigger than a grain of mustard seed—for fur-

they -jorrespondence relating to the affairs of
Greeley a debate grew up which in the course of

five hours had covered the whole Eastern (location

with its branches. Our neighboun over the water

are rover so much at ease, never so united, never
so bold and trenchant in assertion aa in dealing
with Is leek politirw. There are no two
opinions among them about the Eastern

question. It is purely one of French
" influence." France is the hope and strength of

the Christian populations, England is the bulwark
of Turkish tyranny. All Frenchmen of all creeds
or of none are agreed in denouncing the rival of
French "influence" as the foe to Christianity and

civilisation. One would suppose that this jealousy
of French influence, this moral support of the

Turk, this resistance to the progress of the Christian

populations, was an article of faith of universal ao-

ceptance in the British Parliament. The feet
is that the collective wisdom of the British Par.

hament has no theory on the &stern question;
nothing can be more aimless, desultory, and
. . . _

chaotic than the talk about it on either iiide of

Ebe Court.
