THE cilikiiTs.

The following ektrnets from a communication made by
the lion. Leitester Stanhope to 'John Itowring, Eaq. the
Secretary of the Greek Committee, will he read with great
interest. I4lder distinct heads we have a general sketch of
the state of Greece, on the beet authority. iVc therefore
recounuctui it to the serious attention of our readers :

aims, but without the sphere of her corruption. Not Iv with the
people of the towns, who amsespiently partake of her viers. This
people, but for want of instruction, are a* fitted to lie free as any
nation on earth; and only these who pretend that "the slaves of
to-day are not qualified to be free men to-morrow t" I mean the
Oligarchs, who are unvoirthy of the blessings of liberty, because
they are luxurious, corropted, avaricious, and tyrannical. I
shod, me dwell on the virtues of the Greek peasantry, het-ease
they are admitted by all Their martial spirit is not interior
to that of the regular soldiery. and some consider them as the
'mutest and 'two formidable w•.rdors in Greece.

In adrwpotir Government, it in necessary for the slave to be penu- j
rims., to hold fast and to bury his money. Vire% are hardly vices
under absolute Governments There avarice, intrigue, conning, ,
falsehoonl, servility, robberies, inourrertion, and sometimes fright- I
fill "melees, are the only methods of self-defence. There every I
thing in confoundral, end the sole involute of security is to be found ,
in a perverse appteation of the principles of utility.

and phinderent. The survivor grew warlike, sometimes the ter-
roe, aometimeo rile nth:. of the Turks, and at hen the aireerters of
Grecian freedom. Such was the origin of most of the Capteine.
It noon not, however, hr auppooeil that the (*elusion are the only
plunderers. Many of the primate poomeased power and wealth un-

people and the merchants how much it Is their interest to be indus-
tries and honest.

MI:VF: N V E.—The people 102 not oppressed by the amount of
taxes; but they are niuted by the rummer in which the Captains
and the Primates eollect them; by the revenues entering the
! pocket. of these individual., instead of being sent to the Bache-
titter; by their being appropriated to private purposes, instead of
being devoted to the protection of their lands and country from the
Turks, many parts of which are yearly overrun and destroyed;
and by the (occasional tint twful exactions, and system of free.
quarters pursued by the Captains. Il'hat are the remedies for
these evils ? The exposure of the abuse and its fatal con.
sequences. The acquisition of power on the part of the GOllllll.
meet to enable them to force the l'aptains and Primates to place
the revenues in the public coffers ; t'w enmlonent of the people into
a militia, hostile equally to foreign and domestic enemies; and
an increased rigour and activity on the part of the representative
body.
Los:v.—The Greeks think they have but one want—that of
money. This O. a false notion. and attended with bad consequences;
berwise eve, y deportment of the II hoverninent, all except money, is
neglected. Endeavours ware made to remove this notion, by
proving that the richest had been subdued by the poorest natives.
'The Cstenins are in general averse to the loan, from a diced that it
would tall into the Itands of their antagonist'', and deprive them of
power. The rest of the nation look forward to its arrival with
feverish impotence. They thought, sod with truth, that if well
applied, it wit' not only secure their independence. but also their
froedosti. 'When I was at Argos, measures were taken to bring the
subject tinder the consideration of the Government. The sittings
of the legislative body were resumed ; measures were recommended
for the appropriation of the money, and for securing the payment of
the interest. I will not enter into a detail of the measures, as they
embriore nearly tb' whole lirld of liovernment. The representatives
enacted some wholesome laws. They appeared exceedingly jealous
of their power over the people'n purse, and as careful of their money
as th-v proverbi.lly are of their own.

PANTIE 4 political parties in Greece may be said to be
three. First, there are the Captains, who look to power end plun-
der. They generally lean to the iltnineratic intrust, an a means of
preserving these advantages. and of avoiding a master under
kingly government. This party hare riches and courage, but they
hare powerful opponents, and can only preserve their interests by
ranging themselves on the side of the people—a tact which they
Ir,ifia to appreciate. I was always puttying this into their cars, and
the Military Chiefs considered ine as their friend, whereas I was
merely consulting the good of the mass. Secondly, there arc the
Palmett' and Oligarchs : these, too, aro for power and plunder.
They look toe foreign It Mg as the meat; of supportinF their influ.
thee. The third may be celled the national party. l'hey consist
of those alto arc not subdued by the military yr civil Oligarchs; I
mean the 'time:miry. the metrfanls, the towns-people, some of the
islanders, and a few hoe spirits. When invasion has been near,
the national party have int {met: towards the military chief.; when
at a distance, they have risen alp:trot their extortions. Ity degrees
they gain strength.
Liwt .tv it >N.—From what has been stated, it appears that there
is a great want of eshirated men in (hour. This Is felt in the re.
presentative br.dy, in the administration of justice, in the puke-
tttttt m the army anti navy—in short. in every department of the
State. Ity the establishment of %bottle and publicity, by courting
the ingress of set::ers and t mullets. at.,l the return of enlightened
(.reeks to their country, this desirable end may in time be ob-
taint tl.
The &freer of Greer... now chime visor attention.

Nett v.—The tireek nary is composed chiefly of merchant brigs
front hydra, Sper, in. and I inata. They amount to about eighty
sail. These V CV.1.:•4 have been maintaiard partly by private con-
tributions, and the sailors are skilful and brave. The °reek
fleet is of the same that:tette ai the lireck army. It is not
equal to ripe with the combined Turkish beet, but has gained
a itiastny intr it by its superior seamen and tactics. When
say tales. 1 allude not to those of a.t highly orz.iiiimed navy.
►e it these they ate deficient; there are tactics for irregolar
fleets as well as armies. -for corsairs mid privateers as for guerillas,
Pindaric*. and Stratists. This. to, is the ante military and naval
policy fir Greer.. to timstwe. She canna• cope with the Turks in
regular witrfar:•. hut she cm harass and worry them to death.
fires-cc should have four goo .l frigates. sixty of her own brigs,
three or four at-am vessr In, some privateers, and a few gun-boats in
commi!sion. She might then he secure against every maritime
power. with the exception of Lowland. Perhaps the Committee
might he atlr to pets-tire for fireece mimie privateers, a steam
vessel, and a good gun-boat, as a 1510dd. One or tall grad naval
offit,rs, who could bend to native prejudices, and c.•uW submit
with rt lerele n.isd to all sorts of crosses, could be most useful
alas ii, tries in the c.iiise.

mutely turned out to be a very profitable concern. However,
Metal. ItoirinsUn and Dunstan wlthed to appropriate it to them.

Dunstan swore. that the purchase des not a joint purchase ; and
this wM the perjury now charged.
The bill and senwer were produced in evidence. No written
