It is confidently asserted that the conferences at St. Petersburgh,
respecting the affairs of Greece, have not led to any satisfactory
result. The well meant proposal of the Emperor Alexander, the
chief object of which was to place Greece under the guarantee of
the European powers, upon the same footing an ‘Vallachia and
Moldavia, was opposed by England, which require:l fur Greve:
the independence of the lonian Islands. On the whole, it IVUM at
length generally agreed, that however well meant any intervention
might be, it was not likely to be listened to, either by the Porte or
by the Greeks.

here as deputies since the month of November, set out yesh.rday
on their return home, accompanied by the officers appointed to at-
' tend them by the Governor-general of West Siberia. I)uring
their stay here they resided in a house belonging to the Govern-
ment, and were maintained at its expense. On the Ist of the
month they had an audience of Count Nesselrode, Minister of
Foreign Aittirs, when they received their new code of laws, drawn
up in the Russian and Kirghis languages, which lays down the
basis of their future relations to the Itussian empire as a Normade
tribe tributary to it, and under its protection.

Count Lemberg Stirum Member of the First Chimber of the
States-General, &c. died on the' oth, at the age of about 70
years.
The sudden death of Mr. Kemper. Professor ofJorisprudence at
Leyden, and Member of the Second Chamber of the Sulks-Gene-
ral, is a public lass that w iil not easily be repaired. Though highly
distinguished in his literary curer, he was no less remarkable in
political life. lie accompanied the Prince of Orange on his en-
trance into Amsterdam in 11;13, and it was by his advice that his
Highness took the name of Prince Sovereign, in preference to that
of Stailtholder, whi -Is Mr. Kemper justly thought would read an-
cient dissensions and antigusted pretensions, wholly incompatible
with the actual state of civil society in Europe. Sovereign power,
restricted by a good constitution, would, he thought, be the only
means of preventing great evils, and ensuring the prosperity of the
country. lie was, without dispute, one of the most distinguished
speakers in the Second Chamber, and his extempore discourses in
particular were remarkable fur their eloquence and clear reasoning.
Though in general an advocate for the measures of the Govern-
ment, he was too independent to defend every measure that was
proposed. Thus he was one of the most zealous adversaries of the
first project of law relative to Foreign Loons, and his powerful ar-
guments doubtless contrikutcdini great degree to its rejection.
