THE GREEK CAUSE.

FRONTIERS ITA Nov. 1 4.--Public papers con-
lain the billowing intbrnation respecting Ypsiiiiiiti's
dispute with the people of the Nlorea:—Atier the
capture of Nlalvasia and Avarin (Novarino), the ca-
pitulation, as is known, was broken be the Greeks,
and the interior commanders revolted against the
Archistrategos, who, as it appears, with the consent
of the then High Council, embarked at Calumata,
along with some of his partisans tier Hydra. He
left behind hint the following proclamation, several
thousand copies of which were immediately printed :
•• To zHk: lIELLENIANS!—When I landed on the COP,I of
that country in which my hiretathers once ruled, I hoped to
find unity, obedience and order: but I soon perceived how much
I hid deceived myself. Hundreds wisiml to conui:and, and no
one was willing to obey. With extraordinary exertions I sue-
csedcd in collecting a few thousand nien under the banners of
tics...dom. Hard, and even, with respect to me, dishonourable,
conditions were made ; but I sacrificed every private interest to
the great and noble object, the attainment of which every true
Hellenian must have nr view—namely, the restoration of ancient
Greece. We conquered—the Mussalmans, trusting to my sword,
surrendered themselves into my hands. But my soldiers revolted
against me, anti—what baseness l—hke barbarians, destitute of
honour and good faith, massacred unarmed men : and those
who did this deed call themselves Hellenians Spartans ! After
this transaction, so diseraceful in the eyes of the civilized peo-
ple of Europe, who were preparing to assist you, l resign my
rank, as I could not longer hold it without a sense of shame. I
cave the l'eloponnesus firmly resolved never again to return,
until all the curnmatithrs declare themselves willing to attend a
general meeting in an appointed town. The '-fin.:ct of the as-
sembly should be to collie to an understanding on the means
which yet rosy be employed for the deliverance of the country,
arid on tire giving nie sufficient powers suitably to pnnish any
future di bedience, This is the only remaining measure by
which we can bring to an honourable conclusion tile contest in
which we are engaged; since by any other course honour would
inevitably be sacrificed. My resolution is decided and unaltera-
ble. Should these words of peace not to be listened to. lum
prepared with the brave ilydriuts, my noble friends,; as a Helle-
sian, as a Spartan, as the descendant of renowned Grecian
princes, to die, perhaps uselessly, but still with honour. These
are my last words. May God enlighten tine Hellenians, and
bless their arms.
•' DEMErRius yPsILAYri.
" Given at Culaman, 14th August, 1521."

The Moreans soon perceived how injurious the
removal of Ypsilanti was to their cause, and on a
strong representation to the Senate of Calamata, it
was resolved to send a mission to Hydra, with the
promise to fulfil all the conditions Ypsilanti required.
The mission had the happiest result. Ypsilanti re-
turned to Calamata, and brought with hint several
threign officers, and a fOrmal treaty, in which the
people of Hydra, Spezia, and Ipsara, stipulate to
make common cause with the Nforean insurgents.—
'llse successful conclusion ofso difficult an atfair will
probably have favuurable consequences tin. the Greek
cause, which has suffered so much from division.
Prince Ypsilanti was still at Calamata on the
26tb.of Sep.ember. All the forces of the insurgents,

now that Tripolliza has fallen, proceed against
Patras Tlhe reduction of this last fortress would
be of vast importance, but the resistance of the brave
Turkish governor is vigorous. Jussuf Jelin Paella
is a distinguished commander. i lis defence of the
Morca with so small an army, though always re-
treating before the superior tiirce of the Greeks, has
been masterly. Nl,' town was secure against his
attacks, which have done much injury to the Greeks,
He divided his forces in a very advantageous manner,
and promptly garrisoned those fortresses which the
Greeks at first neglected to besiege. Even in his
present situation, he keeps more than 18,000 Greeks
occupied with only 5,000 Turks. The Castell has
been blockaded for several months by a great num-
ber of small Greek vessels, without producing any
effect. The approach of the Turkish fleet has,
however, raised this blockade.

Sir Thomas Lawrence has had a spacious and con.
venient room set apart for him in the King's Palace,
at Pimlico, by command of his Majesty, since his
return from attending the Congress, where he took
the likenesses of the Sovereigns, the Diplomatic, and
other distinguished characters attending that memor..

PROROGATION or PARLIASIENT.—•The period Of
the prorogation of Parliament having expired, it as-
sembled on Thursday, at three o'clock, for the pur-
pose of being further prorogued. The Lord Chan-
cellor, the Duke of Montrose, and Lord Melville,
were Commissioners ; and having required the
attendance of the Commons (Mr. Ley and Air. Rick-
man, and the other officers appearing at the 13ar),
the Lord Chancellor stated, that they had it in com-
mand from his Majesty thrther to prorogue the
Parliament to Thursday, the 33 of January next.—
The next prorogation, which will take place shortly,
will be by proclamation; and it will give forty days
notice of the time when the Parliament is to meet
for the " dispatch of business."
A meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Roche ,
bankers, in Cork, was held on Tuesday last. It was
stated to the meeting that the assio"mess would be
enabled to make a first dividend about the month of
May, of3s. 4d. in the pound, even if the debts should
amount to 1'20,0001. At present the debts proved
only amounted to 90,0001. The ;assignees h.al
little doubt of being ultimately enabled to pay be-
tween six and sevei shillings in the pound, even it'
the debts should amount to 140,0001. _ _ _

MONDAY, DECEMBER 3.

The sentences upon the criminals connected with
THE JOHN BULL, and the man who disgraces the
clerical character, as a member of the Estab-
lished Church, officiating at Liverpool (the Ri.ve-
ALS]) R. Blacow), are now matters of history, anti
are at the same time subjects of sincere congra-
tulation to all those who are attached to the
British Constitution as it was—as it otOtt to be
—and as we hope it will ere long be again.—
This cause of congratulation will not be found
in the severity proportionate to the crimes com-
mitted, for the annals of libel do not present us
with any thing approaching to the atrocity of
either—but from the hope it holds out that the
Judges are determined no more to consider so lightly
of a lengthened incarceration—three years have
been repeatedly rendered a blank in the span al-
lowed to man in this world, by the sentence of the
Court of King's Bench, for a libel of the most trivial
kind, and of itself unimportant, though founded in
fact, and convinced that the Bench is above that
narrow feeling which can permit a Judge to enter
into a political balancing of crime...to mete out one

It is with much concern we state, that the intel-
ligence from Ireland -continues to be of a nature the
most afflicting, The disturbances have assumed a
most sanguinary character, and differ totally from
those circumstances which we had occasion to notice
at the commencement of the unfortunate troubles.—
Another atrocious murder has been committed upon
the -.person of Major Collis, who resided in the
county of Kerry, near Tralee. His house was en-
tered by s large party, and plundered, not of fire
arms alone, but of every portable article on which
the ruffians could lay their hands, Not content with
robbing the house, they gave the unfOrtnnate gen-
tleman a blow with a gun, and killed him on the
spot. The premises of the Rev. Mr. Nash were
attacked also on the same night, but the fellows
were beat off, as he had arms in the house. The
Dublin papers of Wednesday give the evidence
taken before the Coroner's Inquest on the bodies of
the unfortunate family of the Sheas, when the facts
sworn to were similar to the details previously pub-
lished of that horrid and blood-chilling affair. A
proclamation has been issued by the Government of
Ireland, offering two thousand pounds reward for
the discovery of the persons concerned in the inhu-
man and merciless outrage. The system of intimi-
dation, robbery, and bloodshed, is spreading to an
alarming extent. The ostensible objects of the law-
less peasantry, it is said, are the abolition of tithCsi
no middlemen, and low rents. When, however, the
pas.si6ns of these misguided men are inflamed, artful
and designing individuals may easily direct their
views to other purposes, calculated to shake the very
frame of Government itself. At present we cannot
perceive that politics have any thing whatever to do
with these alarming proceedings, and those to whom
the Administration of the affairs of the country are
entrusted cannot too quickly enquire into the cause,
and have recourse to some renudy, if' possible, to
cure the evil, which has now arisen to a most alarm-
ing height. Those acquainted with Ireland, and
the internal state of that fertile yet unhappy country,
must know and feel that the absence of the great
landed proprietors from their estates, is among the
greatest misfortunes which oppress the Island.—
Between the lords of the soil and the tillers of the
earth, there arc land agents and jobbers, that keep
at a distance those who should be more intimately
connected, when the peasant could appeal to his
natural guardian, who would listen to his complaint,
and if well founded, would afford him redress.—lt
has been justly observed, that a year or two since,
when some of' the cities and counties in the center of
England were agitated and disturbed, his Majesty's
speech from the throne, at the close of the Session
of Parliamant, concluded with an eernest exhortation
to the Members to return with all diligence to their
country residences, that by their presence in the
midst of their tenantry, and of those who were ac-
customed to look up to them as guides and protec-
tors, they might check the progress of sedition and
immorality. If then this advice was good for Eng-
land, how beneficial must it also be for Ireland, it
men of' fortune in that country were to reside on
their estates, where their presence at this moment is
so necessary, and so much wanted. As a proof of
this, we have only to look to that part of Ireland
where noblemen and gentry reside on their estates,

381

where the peace of .society is not disturbed, anti
comfort and happiness are enjoyed by the industrious
tillers of the soiL AI

like most of those with which the Christian religion
pis defiled by the practice of the Catholics, is derived
from Paganism, having no existence whatever in the
early and purer ages of Christianity, nor even its

ostentatious manner in which the nonny:ying of tons
fholish girl, Miss Joyce, with her " Titurifereres,"
her Acolytes, her Celebrants, &c. is thrust ui on
public attention. The language in which the cere.
mutual is described in the Irish journal is truly lu-
dicrous. The writer says the scene was sublimely
imposing. There are a great many impure/alms of
this kind in his religion, of which this, no doubt,
was one.
