FRONTIERS OF ITALY, DEC. 18.
Letters from Turin announce that measures are
said to have been agreed upon between the several
Italian Cabinet., on occasion of the turn of public
affairs in France, and the irritation which becomes
more and more manifest in that country. It seems
that it has been determined that those measures
which are intended to protect Italy from the danger
which might tie drawn upon it by its turbulent
neighbours will be put inta execution at the very
beginning of the spring, unlel.s the struggle be-
tn•een the Royalists and the Revolutionists should
be terminated in a manner, which shall authorise a
belief that the tranquillity of Europe will not be
endangered by it.

ODESSA, DEC. 16

Several Greek families from Adrianople have
settled here, having left that city on the departure
of the Russian army from apprehension of persecu-
tion on the re-es!ablishment of the Turkish autho-

city. A few days ago a Greek merchantman (the
first since the insurrection) arrived here with a
cargo of oil and fruit.

The presents from the. Sultan to the Emperor, of
which Halil Paella is the bearer, are said to be of ex-
traordinary value. It is affirmed that they consist of
several dozens of the finest shawls, of diamonds and
pearls of rare beauty, and a great many sabres and
pistols. The whole is estimated at seven millions of
rubles.

BERLIN, DEC. 30.
Baron Alexander de Humboldt has arrived here
otn St. Petersburgh, accompanied by Professors
r.hrenberg and Rose.

BRUSSELS, JAN. J.
On New Year's Day his Majesty held a grand
drawing-room at the Hague. The offieers of the
guard and the garrison paid their respects in the
morning; the Foreign Ministers were presented at
ten o'clock, and at two the general drawing-room
commenced, at which a great number of the most
distinguished persons of all classes came to pay their
respects to his Majesty, on the cornmeMoration of
the new year. His Majesty has given a large sum.
for the relief of the poor at the Hague.

The elevation of Prince LEOPOLD to the
new throne of Greece seems now to be con-
sidered as a matter of certainty. For our own
parts we see no reason why this country should

not find a King for Greece in preference to many
others. His Royal Highness is besides qualified
for the office by many considerations—of which
an income of 50,0001. is not the least. He

possesses, besides, the advantage of belonging
to Continental families, while allied to that
of England. The following is from the
Brighton Gazelle of this morning on the
subject:—

" We hare reason to believe that the appointment
of Prince Leopold of Saxe Coburg to the Throne of
Greece is really perfected. Our readers will understand
that this is not merely an echo of rumours which have
appeared in the foreign Journals, but that we state
the fact as being within our own knowledge. On its
consequences we shall not here speculate. To Great
Britain it must be of the first importance to hate, in
the Sovereign of that country, one who is allied to
us by tie:, so close; and we are almost reconciled
thereby to the serious faults committed by the Wel-
lington Administration. It is in fact a master-stroke
of policy. With skilful seamen and numerous
ports, Greece cannot fail to rise rapidly in the scale

nations; and with Prince Leopold as her Sove-
,i4n, the friendly intercourse on which we may
cekoo, Must prove extremely beneficial to hot}
-tares. We hope, however, the report of his in-
;ended marriage with Maria Louisa is untrue. Why
hould not the bonds already subsisting between the
Prince and England, be drawn still closer by an
:fiance with a British wife."
That the appointment of the Prince should
occasion jealousy to some of our French neigh-
blurs is not to be wondered at. The Journal
ales Debats is quite furious upon the subject,
And very adroitly turns it to the disadvantage of
die Prince de POLIGNAC, as an act of subser-
viency on his part to the Duke of WELLING-
TON. The Journal says—
" Let them dare then to articulate that the
Prince of SAXE-COBURG has not been the
candidate of the Duke of WELLINGTON, and
that M. de POLIGNAC, by an instinct quite
national, has gone in quest of a King of Greece
to Windsor or Carlton House! I do not believe
that this mystification will make many dupes.
Great GoD ! Was it then absolutely necessary
to pass the Channel, to give a new dynasty to
Greece ? When her National Assemblies so-
licited from the Cabinets of Europe the Mo-
narchical form and the choice of a Prince, to
move their sterile pity, (lid they imagine that
they were thus to deliver to England alone

the decision of a question so vital for their
destiny ? What ! it was at the very period
when they pat an embargo on tl►e waters of the
Thames on the steam vessels constructed at so
great au expence, by the generosity of the
Greek Committee; it was at the very period when
the English Cabinet (and we dwell on this event ;

Tor far be from us the idea of confounding Eng.

land, in this circumstance, with the narrow and
shabby views of her Premier, with the greedy
selfishness of some of her merchants) ; it was at
the period during which the English Cabinet
connected itself more closely than ever with
Pi ince METTERNICH, to stifle under the inac-
tion of Christian Europe, and in case of need,

perhaps, under its parricidal efforts, the rising
liberty of Greece ! Yes I whilst men and money
were sent from several capitals of Europe—
whilst they were arming in some and soliciting
money in others for the country of LEONIDAS
--r►hilst a young Advocate braved for this
noble cause the neighbourhood and the
of M. de METTERNICII—in London the sup-
pliant Envoys of Greece in tears were repulsed ;
and it is from London that the King of GREECE
shall take his departure !

" Do not tell us that the Conferences o
L'etersburgh, from-which emanated the Treaty o

the 6th July, were the result of a more benevo-
lent disposition for Greece. The English Ca-
binet saw in this only the hope, by connecting
Russia in her relations with the other Powers of
Europe, of annulling one of her grievances
against Turkey, and consequently to arrest the
Cossacks on the Pruth ! Vain hope ! The
Greek Treaty has remained, with its principles,
with its consequences ; and the Empire of
MA llmouto dues not the less corer Europe and
Asia with its ruins.

" And now they set aside at London, by a
single gesture, all the Princes of those Royal
Families who loved to render service to Greece
in her bad fortune 1 But in return they pro-
nounce the name of the Prince of SAXE Co-
BURG, solely, no doubt, because the Treaty of
the 6th of July did not permit the election of a
Prince of one of the three subscribing Courts ;
they chose the nearest after blood ; and, too
happy to follow without doubts the inspirations
of his English colleague—too happy to bend
under his arrogant patronage—M. de PoLIGNAC
not merely accedes to the proposition of the Ca-
binet of St. James, but takes it upon himself to
present at St. Petersburg)), in the name of
France, the candidate of England.
" No, never did a more humiliating policy
stain the Frond) name in foreign countries—
never was more disgrace and shame abroad
added to distress at home.

* * *

" But what can we expect at home from those
men who provoke every day by their writings the
hatred of Europe against France ?—those men
who would, to-morrow, risk an invasion for their
portfolios

" 'What is to them the honour and repose of

their country ! Foreigners among us, they treat
us beforehand as a conquered nation, and would
willingly force France to expiate, by the coalition
of all the Kings of Europe against her, the
coalition of all good men against them.
" Hence the imaginary terrors which they are
moving like a phantom throughout all the Courts
of the North and the South ; hence those pre-
tended centres of conspiracy, with men like
Lord PALMERSTON at their head, whom they de-
nounce to the animadversion and vengeance of
foreign Governments ! Hence those Kings,
whom they impudently present to us as reeling
on their Thrones, because their people are not
condemned, like Italy, Spain, and Portugal, to
the ignorance of all that is said, takes place, or
is written elsewhere!

" Oh, let them cease to threaten Europe with
France, to threaten in turn France with Europe I
The responsibility of Ministers has not entered
into our codes with all its developments ; that is
true ; but in case of need, the laws of all ages
and all countries would suffice for the chastise-
tnent of such a crime I"

The Journal des Debats, in its wrath, seems
to have forgotten that such an appointment would
be a very excellent check to the influence of
Russia in the East of Europe.

THE LATE CONIMISSION OF LUNACY.-
From the interest excited respecting the confinement of
Mr. DAVIES, it may be satiafictory to many to state what
we have learned, upon inquiry, that immediately after the
verdict of the Jury he was restored to his liberty, and the
exclusive possession of his shop and business in Philpot-la..e;
his mother has since been at a separate residence. Mr.
DAvors's first care was to set " to rights" his shop, and to
go through the process of tasting and trying his teas, and
every thing else has gone on quietly, regularly, and satis-
factorily. But for the grievous expence incurred by each
day's proceedings, it would be matter of regret that the
whole of the mass of evidence for the defence was not dis-
played before the public, to whom it would have conveyed
much useful instruction on the dangerous nature of the evi-
dence commonly adduced as proofof insanity. —Morn. Paper.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE.—Jan. 5.

There was a further large supply of Irish Grain fresh
up for this day's market, and, the canals not being open,
we had a very thin attendance of country millers ; still

holders were firm, and the few sales effected in Whcat
were at fully last week's rates. Some choice Oats brought
the previous currency, but there were very few sold.
The demand for other articles of the trade was on equally
as small a scale.
