Extract of a letter dated Venice, May S A
vessel, which has just arrived here, and which lel;
Corfu as late as the 26:h of April, brings the news
that Ali Paella, of Janina, was summoned by the
Grand Seigt, tor to proceed to Constantinople; and
that upon his refusing to obey the summons, he was
declared a rebel. Ali, on his side, has declared
himself independent of the Porte, and, with tle
utmost haste, augments his army to defend himself.
It is also said, that A i has declared himseil King of
Epirus, and hue himself baptised. He had his
head-quarters at Prevesa, where lie caused an oath
of fidelity to be taken, nut only by the forks, but
by the Greeks, at the same time appealing to all
Greece to defend the independence and religion of
the nation."

THE great o bject of those who arc determined t.)
uphold that system of administration, the bitter
fruits of which the nation is now beginning to ex-
perience fully, is not to defend the measures which
have ruined us, (for they have not an argument
that will maintain them), but to injure the cha-
racter and reputation of their opponents, and to
induce the people to acquiesce in men and mea-
sure*, as they are, through hatred and contempt of
their opponents, thereby becoming those very re-
volutionary characters which they pretend to repro.
bate. For what can be worse, or tend more to
anarchy than to deny the existence of public virtue,
and for bad or foolish men, not able to vindicate
themselves, to endeavour to induce all others to a
level in the opinion of mankind ?—A nation (which
is only a large number of individuals arranged in
social order for the mutual good of each other) can
afford to pay a certain sum out of the public indus.
try and produce to support those who bear rule and
fill situations,
.precluding them from works which
encrease food, or other necessaries of life ; yet, no
nation can support more than a certain proportion
without serious inconvenience. The amount of the
proportion, in consequence of those numerous sums
of stock money, (or, funded property), which is after
all nothing more than imaginary sums raised upon
the industry of the present age to support the pro-
jects of the last, furnishes so many with fortunes
arising out of the industry of others, that the na-
tion has a hundred times more of unproductive
labour to maintain than a natural state of things
would require, or, in other words, than the neces-
sary appendages of civil society require; but so
many have found it their interest to promote this
draught upon industry, that the members of the
governing orders, who ought to arrest those evils,
find it so much to their private interest to continue
them, that they insensibly combine to support the
measures, influence, and patronage of Government,
and agree to the most violent measures to protect
them, feeling that a full and accurate investigation
into the items demanded, and the causes which lead
to the demand of them, would shake the foundation
of their own wealth and power. In the mean
while the evil is grown so enormous, and the dis-
tresses of the many so crying amid the comforts of a
itw, or, comparatively few, that a general turn over
of a new leaf becomes necessary, and sacrifices on the
part of all the upper ranks, and especially those who
have thus grown rich out of public poverty, because
so imperative that the fabric of society is threatened
with dissolution from the state of contending parties
—and what is the natural remedy? the only re-
medy, for such a state of things ? Why, a radical
reform or change in a great proportion of the con-
stituent parts of that body which represents the
people, and some measures to secure a body of men
who shall be less interested in selfish considerations,
and more disposed to rise from individual to general
good. And is not every other measure, till this be
adopted, merely a mockery, and like children throw-
ing in pebbles to stop the course of a stream ? This,
in short, we conceive to be the correct view of the
subject, that unless all classes of people (agricultural
among tali, rs) tvill press first upon Government, the
sense of that ruinous expendi; ore wasted in wars
abroad of doubtful good at leas!, ~tid patronage and
influence of still more doubtful gotiti at home, and
will awaken Government to a s,nse of the necessity
of acme radical measures to meet a radical evil, that
