stance free; but we stay rest assured that a Consti-
tutional Gina State, in the immeliate neighbourhood of
the Allied Sovereigns, is what they will not contemplate
with complacency. It is therefore much to be apprehended,
that they will suffer the Greeks to proceed in their success-
ful but sanguinary struggle with the Turks, till both are
reduced to an extreme degree of weakness ; and then,
should the condition of Europe admit of the accomplish-
mentor the long meditated design, Russia will trot want a pre-
text fcr bringing the whole of the territory under her sceptre.
Considering the loan Of military power which ALEXANDE
already has at his disposal, and the present nnbraerd state
of the European system, as it respects the balance of power,
Grl at Britain cannot look on the present aspect of affairs
in the Levant with indifference; and Mr. (.:ANNING, we
know, is too well versed in practical politics not to perceive
the necessity of either forming or giving elf:et to some'
Continental arrangements, which may provide against, or,
if possible, prevent, the Ottoman Empire from being, by
its disunion and decay, brought to bear against the inde-
pendence of other nations, and enabling the Russian
Cabinet to dictate to all the Cabinets of Europe. The
Court of St. Petersburgh has already a dangerous pre-
ponderance, and the continental nations have even a stronger
' interest than Great Britain in counteracting the still further
increase of its strength. Their true policy is so to inter-
fere as to conErm the independence of Greece, while they
preserve Turkey as a barrier against the overwhelming in-
fluence of the Russian Monarchy, which. if the present de-
structive conflict be continued, is destined finally to absorb
it entirely.

We received at a late hour last night the Eluik of Itied-
nesday. The following is an extract:—

The Kum and his august Family are still at the Palace of the
Escurial. . _

We have received, via Cadiz and Gibraltar.the most satisfactory
intelligence from Peru and Buenos Ayres. Lima and Callao are
not only far from being likely to be reduced by the power of
BOLIVAR. who is in full retreat, but those places are even pre-
paring an eapedition against Chili, whose population is most cor-
dially disposed to favour the auac of the Royalists. The Chiliens
once returned to obedience towards their legitimate SOVIRRIGS,
the weak and insignificant Republic of Buenos Ayres will fall
without reSWARM. We know there have always existed great dis-
sensions among the Brazilians, and they are now 13107 e, violet than
ever. As for money, in spite of the river which washes them
countries (Rio de is Plata, or retii re d'argtnt), it has altogether
disappeared from circulation. The troops are deserting by whole
companies.
The authorities of sarms,t all the provinces of Peru have mani-
fested to the Viceroy their ready submission to the decree of the Irt
October, 1823, whielt re-onablishes the whole administration on its
former footing.

WINDSOR Nov. S.—Yesterday and this day the Fing
took his usual airings in the Great Park. The weather
being cold and windy, his Majesty has rode out
in one of his close travelling carriages, with postilions, and
his accustomed attendants on horseback. This being the
birth-day of her Royal Highness the Princess Sophia of
Gloucester, the bells of the parish church were rung. and
at one o'
clock a Royal salute was fired in the Bachelor's
Acre, in honour of the occasion.
His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex passed through
Mansfield on Friday last, on his way to Bolsover, to take a
view of the ruins of the ancient castle at that piaci.. On
Satnriay his Royal Highness visited Hardwicke ; and
on Wednesday Colonel Wildman gave • public breakfast
at Newstead Abbey, in honour of his distinguished visi-
tor, which was attended by the nobility and gentry of the
neighbourhood.—Nottirighass Journal.
It is reported that Lord Morley will suceced Lord Gran-
ville as our Ambassador at the Hague.
Lord Beresford has arrived at Southampton, from
Scotland, and taken a house, for the recovery of his health,
by the advice of his physicians.
Lord and Lady F. Comyngham are now visiting at Good-
wood.

lin Monday evening last the Countess of Lansdale gave li
a splendid lash and supper at the Castle, which was at-
tended by a great many families of the town and neigh-
bourhood. Dancing commenced about nine o'clock, and
was kept up with unrelaxing spirit until an early hour the
next morning. The ball was led off by Miss Thompson
and the Rev. H. Lowther. The lady is distinguished
for the extreme grace and spirit of her dancing. We
understand that the affability of the noble hostess, her
family and friends, was very great, and that the whole
affair was got up and went off (the supper in more ways
than one) exceedingly well. The supply of delicacies was
abundant, and his Lordship's butler, we opine, will have
cause to remember with regret the " hunting"—no, the
" dancing of that day." The havoc amongst the fin dc
Beurdeauz was prodigious.—lnitehneen Gnzette.
The entertainment to be given at Guildhall, on next
Lord Mayor's day, is expected to be of the most elegant
description. The decorations will be exceedingly splendid.
The temporary portico, and =loons at the entrance, are
already erected, the tables are placed, and workmen ar.
busily employed in cleaning the monuments. Au illumi-
nated crown of great brilliancy will ornament the east end
of the Hall, and a star of equal magnitude and splendor
to correspond (formed of brilliant variegated lamps) will
he placed at the west end, between the figures of Gog and
Magog, together with other devices of taste. From the
lofty dome are suspended three magnificent cut-glass drop
chandeliers; from the cornice on the entrance side of the
Hall are suspended five more, and on the opposite side
seven of a similar kind—the whole fifteen to be lighted
with gas. All round the cornice will appear like an illu-
minated chain. The Grand Council Chamber will
be appropriated for dancing. anal will be fitted up with
great taste anal elegance, and illuminated with eight costly
lustres, side lights. &c.
Accounts from IVashington state, that when M. de La
Fayette anived in that city, the Ministers of Fiance, Rus-
sia, and England, all declined to be present at the dinner
which was given by Mr. Adams on that occasion.—Eruile.
