topmost the councils of Greet Britain as big
'equivocally. opposed to the attainment of Grecian
independence, and they have succeeded in obtain-
ing a very general credence fhr this assertion
throughout the greater part of Europe. The feel-
ings and objects of the British Cabinet upon the
iseNject of the Grecian insurrection have to this,
useaseot remained utterly unkorown to the maa•e(
the people in this Country, and we must there ii
take permission to doubt the accuracy of those
foreign writers who so very glibly undertake to en-
lighten the world upon this interesting topic. But
the cause they assign for the conduct of the British
Cabinet is exceedingly offensive to this cosatey.
They allege that the commercial interests of Great
Britain are so entirely the object of the British
Cabinet, that to them are sacrificed without re-
morse all other views, objects, and feelings; that
in the undeviating pursuit of commercial gain, the
claims of honour, justice, and humanity, are dis-
regarded ; that, provided our ships bring home
to our ports the treasures of the earth, we care not ;
bow Forge a portion of human happiness may be
expended in their purchase. It is thus that we ,
are taunted, as if it were an admitted fact, that
we are desirous of seeing Turkey and its depen-
dencies throughout the east of Europe, and in Asia, •
continue to be scenes of anarchy or of nerveless
despotism; and that we are apprehensive of witness-
ing she fall of our commercial superiority in the •
East, if en enlightened Government were eats.
blnihed upon the ruins of .the Ottoman Power. It
would, we think, be difficult for these writers to
explain upon what principle it happens that
anarchy or despotism, that ignorance or barbarism,
in Turkey, can better promote the interests of an,
enterprising commercial people than a government
whereby property is 'protected and industry en-
coursged—where wealth, as it increases, must im-
prove their markets—and where the advance of taste
and knowledge must enlarge their wants, and im-
prove their means of acquiring and appreciating
the objects of use and luxury. The preventive
laws which the prejudice or ignorance of certain
Governments has devised for the exclusion of Bri-
tish mina factures Offer a proof which the self-love of
Aloe writers cannot►esist, that it is not ignorant'or
barbarpus nations alone who seek after the produce
of. British ingenuity.

In the same article will be founds curious speci-
men of the number of reports to which the move-
ments of one important personage mry give birth.
The Duke of Witting Ton seems to chauge a
certain route which it had pleased some persons to
lay down for him. This occurrence, which in itself
does net seem to be of very great importance, is
instantly bought to be explained, and, according to
the iwgesiens reflections of one set of thinkers, the
adequate cause could be nothing short of a revolu-
tion in England, and • determination upon the par
of the British Cabinet to place GRORGI IV. in the
state of disgraceful pupilage to the King of Fait mc a,
which the wretched Princesof the STUART line filled
under the protectio►► of Louis XI V. This, however,
was soon felt to be too extravagant, and the Duke is
immediately converted from a mighty warrior into
one of Love's -ambassadors, and is made to be the
herald of his Sovereign's food desires to some
fair Duchess, who alone is worthy to share the
throne of Great Britain. Were any purpose of
this nature in contemplation, ion better selection
of an-Ambassador could be made than the Dyke
of WILLUTOTON. but the dirty seems for the posairst
to-be placed upon him at least prematurely. 'The
other rumours that are associated with the Deke's
•name seem equally to be the offspring of fancy.
We shall, therefore, leave them without say
farther notice.
