LONDON, MONDAY, SEP I'EMBLit 23.
—Now—
The denouement of the political drama has taken
place—Mr. Canning has been sworn into office as
Secretary of State fur Foreign Affairs, and the Di-
rectors of the East India Company, who have been
treated rather scurvily by the Right Hon. Gentleman,
must seek auothr.r Governor-General whore they can.
—To those who remember that his Majesty's ac-
knowledged elegance of deportment gave wee to his
feelings on the day of the coronation, and that leis
resentment towards the then worthy Lord Mayor
caused him to turn his back upon the chief magis-
trate of the metropolis, simply because he had ex-
tended his hospitality to the late persecuted Queen,
the meeting between the king and the Eulogist of
his late wife—between him, who, to say the !east,
tacitly looked on while an innocent and injured
woman, whom he had sworn to protect, became the
sainted victim of a series of villainous persecutions,
and the man who had declared in his place in the
House of Commons, that " Iler Majesty was calcu-
lated to form the brilliant ornament of every elegant
society she might grace with her presence," must
have been the subject of intense interest.—All our
readers have heard of " two strange cats in a garret,"
and must of them have seen the attempts on the part
of the guides of a haughty, headstrong horse to make
him quietly apply his nose in token of amity, to an
ass in the road—either one or the other may, vt e
presume, be typical of the meeting between his
Majesty and the aces Right Hon. Secretary fur
Foreign Affairs.—What a variety of proofs may be
derived from this appointment—first may be proved
the importance in the cabinet of the Earl of Liver-
pool—of a man, who without genius, but with
much experience in the higher walks of chicane, has
managed to sequin such influence as enables him to
foreetis Sovereign to consort with " those his soul
abhurs"—secondly may be proved, that the Lord
Chancellor would sooner io.sociate in the Cabinet
with one whom Le has often derided, frequently op-
posed, and al ways contemned, than fol:ow the honest
dictates antis heart (for we believe he is sometimes
uuder the influence of such dictates) and resign his
profitable appoint ;nous and thirdly may be proved,
that the effect of time, or of youthful &Li:marry,
01 denervAtion urL,ducea by other cau.-.es, 'Lies been

such upon the mind of Royalty at to produce a state
of mental emasculation, which prefers submission to
the peremptory diatom of a Minister, whom habit
appears to have rendered necessary, to the exertion of
powers which were brilliant by nature and improved
by intimate association with unequalled genius—of
powers which might at the present moment have
wailed themsel, •of r:- - and by

/IA ;Ives . circumstances, a corn-
plele change of men and measures have removed the
reins from the hands of those who can only disgrace
our country, to the guidon* of those whose ethwts
would unceasingly have been directed to replace
England in the estimation of the other pow.ejs of
Europe and the world, and to render her Aople
once more happy, flee, and prosperous—all this might
have been done by one effort of Royal energy—after
the neglect of such on opportunity we begin to des-
thing of the sort during the present
hope to live to see it—and this we
, treason.

GREEK BULLETINS.--'l'he following bulletins of
dates long subsequent to those of the late disputed
events in Thessaly, and referring to transactions al-
leged to have occurred farther to the south, are
contained in the Constitutionnel:—
" FIRST BULLETIN.
"CLENIA IN TILE ria.orosesses, JULY' 26.
" Char Hadje Aii Pashaw, formerly Grand Vizier, after
having joined Ins forces to those of Maltotuet Pashaw at Xyla,
and assumed the command in chief, penetrated into Argolis at
the head of between 14 and 15,000 men. Cofixotrone, who had
I arrived at Argos a day before him, attacked him or. tile 2.11 of
I July before that city. The first ardour of tne Turks presented
great obstacles, but our sul.lirrs, animated by an invincible cou-
rage. repulsed the enemy, who retreated upon Couzopodi (near
Argos.) The retreat produced great disorder, and cost many
beta.
" On the following day, the enemy continued their retreat
with greater order. Our sharpshooters closely pursued them,
and harassed them during the whole day. In usversing part of
the mountains we stepped only upon dead bodies. The Turks
encamped at Carvidlii. On the 25th they resamrd their retreat
at ditylereak. Our sharpshooters continued to harass theta on
the passage of Camila. A corps of alaniotes advanced with
impetuosity, penetrated the rear guard of the Turks, and com-
mitted great carnage. The van guard, instead of supporting the
rear, only hastened forwaid on its march. On their arrival at
Treks, loalf way between Argos and Corinth), the enemy was
forced to hght before passing the defile. An obstinate battle
ensued. Mote than 1,300 Turks perished in it ; a great many
enure were killed in the pass ; 230 horses, and a part of the bag-
gaga winch tell into our hands, were sent to Trippoliaa.
"SECOND BULLETIN.
CORTESSA, NI:4// CORINTII. AUGUST 8.
" The Turks had received within these tew days a detachment
of between 3 and 6,000 men from Patras and Lepanto. Depend-
ing upon this reintercernent, they made a show of resuming the
offensive in order to penetrate into Argolis. This was a stratagem
seen through. In consequence, we allowed them a tree
passage on that side, and our army prOceeded to the side of Co-
rinth, which is entirely cut Of enemy, deceived in his
calculations, found it necessary to dispute with us this last pus.
The battle lasted about two hours. The Turks were repulsed
on all sides with great loss. They regained their position in
ti' orde:. On the following day, Aug. 7, the er.etny, who had
no other alternative, resolved to force the passage. cost what it
might. Char Badge Ali Pashaw excited his troops to the per-
termance of their duty, and placed himself at the bead of his
cavalry ; but this intrepid Pashaw perished in the first ranks—his
troops fought with the courage of despair. At the hottest period
of the battle, a contused noise proceeded from the enemy's ranks
Amaral Amen!' (Quarter! Quarter!) exclaimed they,
allow us to depart. We only wish to leave the Mores.' Three
thotband Turks remained dead on the spot. The number of the
wounded add the prisoners is not precisely known. About 2,000
of their horses, all their baggage and munitions. together with
their military cheat, were the result of this day. The enemy
were pursued to the neighbourhood of Corinth."
The following postscript is added to the bulletin:
" Capt. Videla, by whose means these two bulletins have been
received, says, that up to the lath of August, the day of his
departure from Spezzia, more orcumstannal details were conti-
nually arriving of the successes of the Greeks. Every thing
announced teat the Turkish army was in the most desperate:
posiuun, and news were every moment expected of its complete
destrucuon. He states that on tae 12th of August, having gene
to Argos on busin as, he had an intriview with the Vice Presi-
dent Lanacara. AL the moment of their meeting, a Alaniote
arrived and laid at their feet the heed °I Char tiauje Ali Pashaw.
It was etutity recognizal by the two wound, which he had un
each aide of his lace, and his lung beard."

VIENNA, SEPT 7.—This morning at 8 o'clock,
the Emperor of Austria repaired to Wollicrsdurf to
receive his august visiter the Emperor of Russia.—
At noun the two monarchs male their entry into
the city. The Emperor Alexander had required
that no formal reception should be given him. He
wore the Austrian uniform. His suit, more nu-
merous than usual, creates a belief that he will
remain a long time absent from his dmainions.
There strived bete yesterday Lieutenant-General
Count Cernitscheff, Adjutant-General of the Em-
peror ; Count nazi, di girgo, Russian Ambassador
to the Court of France ; Count de Alotuschwierx,
Russian Counsellor of State ; Baron de Sacken,
Russian Counsellor; and the Counsellors de Muller,
Massewiez. Baron de Lebzeltern, Austrian Mi-
nister at the Court of Russia, lilt:wise arrived two
days ago.
It appears that the approaching Congress of Mi-
nisters, us wdi as that of Prince
Metternich will ins me meLsure pecorni the Tune•
twits of President. We do not know as yet how

long the Emperor of Russia will remain at Vienna.
The departure of the two Emperors far Italy wilt
not, it appears, take place betiire the middle of
September. B 1 this way of reckoning, the Con-
gress will not open till the beginning of October.
An order has been sent to the Austrian authorities
in Italy, to prepare as quickly as possible at Verona,
lodgings for the Princes and Ministers about to as-
semble in Congress. Great quantities of precious
furniture have been seat from this city to Trieste,
for the purpose of being transported thence, by the
way of Venice, to Verona. In proceeding to Italy,
the Emperor Francis will have an interview with
the King of Bavaria, which was to take place be-
fore this, but which has been put oil until this op.
portunity.

Sir F. Burdett is still in the West of England.
On his way from Truro to Pendarves, on the Sth

cheers testified their respect for the hon baronet,
whose steady adherence to the genuine principles ut
the British Constitution, and whose elliirts to re-
form the corruption and abuses that have been
fastened upon it, have justly procured for him the
appellation of—" The Man of the Pear!e." Sir F.
has chiefly spent the lust week in viewing the beau-
tiful scenery of Mount's Bay, and in excursions to
the most remarkable places in the neighbourhood.
