were there among the persons engaged several indi-
viduals whom it was necessary to exclude on account
of their bad characters, and who, angry at this, en-
deavoured to mislead others; not only did certain
persons at Marseilles succeed in persuading some of
the adventurers to join the Spanish Defenders of the
Faith, instead of going to Greece, but the repre- •
sentations of several officers who had returned front
Greece excited despondency in many. If these offi-
cers in the moment of general alarm, when the
Greeks, attacked on all sides;ted from the valleys to
the mountains, considered the cause of that unhappy
people as desperate, and returned home—who will
blame them if they painted the moral, the military, •
and economical state of Greece in gloomy colours?—
who will accuse them of falsehood, since we know
that despotism every where, and consequently in
Greece, tends to debasement? But that some of
these officers did their utmost, and used the -basest
means to tuna aside the assistance, which it is to be
hoped will contribute to make the Greeks free, and
consequently more moral, is inhuman and unchris-
tian. All these difficulties were at length overcome
by -the good sense of the better disposed, and the in-
defatigable exertions of the committee, consisting of
Messrs. Kephallas, Sieocking, Hoffmann, Captain
Dittmar, and Deutsch. It is• true only 150 men
embarked. out of the 200 that Avare.intended ; but,
however, the wheat was thus separated from the
cleat: To the great joy of the expedition, it was
joined by five of those who had returned, and -who
are convinced that a corps well provided with all
necessaries, and well organised in every part, may
be of infinite service in Greece. If preceding expe-
ditions were not so well organised, it was not owing
to a deficiency of good will or of judgment, but of
money. However, the exertions of the Societies fee
the aid of the Gr4,L ks have been so successful in this
respect, that at the beginning of the next month
another ship will be dispatched for Greece, which
will have some men on board, but be chiefly laden
with arms and stores."

(EXTRACT 07 A YRIVATE LETTER.)
ULM, Dc. 19.—1 t is confirmed, by several let-
ters from Upper Italy, that, since the departure of
the English Atubassa'dor, Lord Strangfeld, Prince de
Metternich has received very important despatches
relative to the uffeirs of Constantinople. It is af-
firmed, that these despatches coesist of the reports
of M. tPoAefels, Austrian Internuncio at the Porte.
Nothing is yet known as to the contents of these
despatches; it is only known that they have occa-
sioned several very long conferences, and that a -
courier has been despatched to Lord Sttangford, who
had not then left Trieste. These tkspatc:ies must
be relative to new events, or at least to overtures
made since the change which has taken place in the
Ottoman Ministry, for the change was known pre-
vious to the departure of LerdStrangford. It is even
known at Veroaa, that it was this Minister who
first, and betUre M. de Metternich, received advice
of the fall of flaleb Effendi and his party t it was in,
despatches front M. Chuper (Coucillor of the BMA'
Legation at Loudon, and provisionally filling. the.
functions of English Charge d'A if:tires at Constanti.
nople) that the event was transmitted to him by an
extraordinary courier, who travelled with incredible/
rapietty. Lord Strangford, without delay, commu-
nicated the intelligence to the other Ministers. It
appears that only two days afterwards the same
news reached Prince de Nlettettich The missieri
that Lord Strangtord received previously to his de.
parture from Verona was, therefore, given to
.hint
T
at a moment when the change in the erLish Mi.
uistry was already known. it results from this, that
the new despatches which have been sent to Trieste
relate to other events which have subsequently
transpired at Constantinople, and the knowledge of
which reached Prince de Metternich by dellateheS
