AMBRIC•N POST OFFICE/I.—SHIM the lot of January
last (says the New Fork National Journal) no less than,
176 now, post-offices have been established. Independently
of this addition, one of the great western mails, formerly
transported but three times a week, has been made a daily
mail ; and other arrangements, equally valuable, have been
made to facilitate the arrivals and departures of the mail in
other sections of the Union. Yet, notwithstanding these
additions to the annual expenditures, the revenue of the
,post-office department, which has for some years pain been
inadequate to the expenditures, will this year, we under-
stand, in consequence of the new mode of business, intro-
duced by the present postmaster-general, he fully equal to
the expenses, and will probably somewhat exceed them,

It was yesterday made known, that the Greek Commit-
tee lave eoneludediriong pesdiwrg-ssegotiatioss with Lord

COCItaaNC, for the engagement of bis services in the
cause of Greek independence. The 'Committee, we un-
derstand, have agreed to provide a large sum of money
adequate to the expense of an expedition which has been
planned by his Lordship, and will be immediately carried
into execution. All the preparations are said to he com-
pleted, and the steam-boats and other vessels will sail in
a few days, under his Lordship's command.
The powerful co-operation of Lord COCHRANE, in
assisting the progress of the Greeks, cannot be too highly
estimated ; it is of the utmost consequence to their cause.
Ilia heroism will inspire them with fresh energy, end
revive anew those feelings to which they owe their won-
derful success. Nothing is more important to them at this
moment than that they should act in perfect union, and
bury all their jealousies in the common zeal of assuring
the triumph of their nation. Their deliverance from the
Ottoman yoke is certain : but, to effect their final redemp-
tion, they must be true to themselves. They must guard
against domestic faction, and that perverse spirit of ambi-
tion which is the too prolific parent of perfidy. They arc in a
crisis, in which nothing must be sacrificed or even hazarded
to gratify any selfish schemes of wealth or power. If a
false principle of distrust enters into their councils, its niis-
chicrous consequences will defeat all the exertions which
the gallantry of Lord COO/JUNE, or any man living, can
make in their behalf; it will turn all their fairest hopes to
shame and ruin. We say thus much, not from any want
of confidence in their wisdom, or that we think ads
