[BRITISH PR Ess.

The news yesterday from Greece was, upon
the whole, if we may give credit to the accounts
that reach us, unfavourable to the Patriots. We
have, however, so often heard their petty disa-
greements and occasional disasters magnified into
civil wars and final defeats, that we listen with
suspicion to the tales that arrive, especially
through Austria. According to the letters re-
ceived yesterday from Trieste, Ibrahim Pacha
had marched upon Tripolitza, and was advan-
cing into the Morea without resistance. Prince
Maurocordata and the President Conduriottis
were at Napoli de Romania ; where it is said a
general Council had resolved that Colocotroni
should be liberated, and invited again to
put himself at the head of his countrymen
in defence of their freedom. We place not
much reliance on these, but it is fitting that
we should lay them before our readers. Greece
has triumphed over assaults more serious than
menace her independence at this moment, and
we have not the smallest doubt that she will in
the same manner again overcome her present
dangers. The garrison of 01(1 Navarino, it
appears, surrendered on honourable terms. They
were allowed to march out of the fortress unmo-
lested. The capture of this place has lost more
than half its value since the destruction of the
Egyptian magazines at Modon by the Greek
Admiral Miaulis. Notwithstanding all that may
be said, we bave still the fullest confidence in
the ultimate success of the Greeks.

[THE PUBLIC LEDGER.]

Last night we received Brussels papers to the
6th inst. and Dutch to the same date. There is
au article in the former, which looks like an in-
dication, that it is the intention of the Government
of the Netherlands to run a race of popularity
with our own, in regard to its relations with
the new States of America. An official notice
has been sent by the Minister of the Interior
to the Chambers of Commerce, to apprize that
Body of the arrival of M. Gorostiza, who is to
exercise provisionally in that Kingdom the
functions of Consul General from Mexico. As
a similar notice, and in a manner equally for-
mal, has been addressed to all the other Cham-
bers of Commerce, it looks like a preliminary
step towards a bolder line of policy on the part
of that Government. It has already acknow-
ledged virtually the political existence of the
State, the arrival of whose Agent it has officially
notified ; and to suppose that it would be satis-
fied with this half measure, would be an im-
putation, upon its consistency. At the same
time it would be supposing that it was deter-
mined to resist the • earnest wishes of its
-- subjects,—an opinion wholly at variance with
(the
character of that wise Government. f our-own
surmise were correct, it would prove that there

was not, on the part of the leading Continental
Powers, that marked indisposition towards the
New States, of which so much has been spoken.
It would also convict a French Ministerial Paper
(The Etoile) of gross ignorance or studied
misrepresentation in one of its recent Num-
bers, in which, it is said, that the policy
of England, in this respect, gave at first great
umbrage to the other Great Powers, though
they have been since reconciled to it, in conse-
quence of its qualified character. We shall not
stop to refute so impudent an assertion, particu-
larly after the refutation it has received from the
proceeding upon which we are commenting,
for the Government of the Netherlands is too
prudent to take such a step, if there were that
decided aversion on the part of those Powers
to admit the late Colonies of Spain to the
rank of independent States. In the meantime,
we should be sorry to see our own Government
stand too much upon punctilio with those States,
and should regret still more, were it to take any
advantage of their ignorance of diplomatic forms.
Every allowance should be made for their inex-
perience, particularly as they'may be said to
have just awakened from a long and heavy slum-
ber; and also some indulgence for the foibles of
the weak should be shewn by the powerful. Even
if young communities shew some petulance,'it
is excusable, and should not be too severely
noticed by states that have advanced beyond
them to an immeasurable distance in the
knowledge of political wisdom. We sincerely
hope that our Government will not turn round
now, but, with its usual good sense and charac-
teristic dignity, persevere in that enlightened
course which it has adopted towards these States,
in spite too/ of any false pride which the latter
may potnentarily evince, for it can only be an
ebullition which will pass away as soon as reflec-
tion'comes to tlyir aid. They must know that
England Is ttrir best friend, and that she is
wholly incapable of putting forth any claims, de-
rogatory from their honour, or injurious to their
interests.

[MORNING CIIRONICLE.I
The Speech on the Prorogation of Parliament,
and the favourable accounts of the Revenue, have
not had the slightest effect on the English Funds
—they were rather lower yesterday morning,
with a heavy appearance. Consols for the July
Account opened at 912, and closed at 918.
There have been immense sales, but chiefly for
the August Account, which is per cent. higher
than the present quotation. The Commissioners
for the Reduction of the Debt bought Consols
yesterday morning at 91i, making the price, ex-
cluding the dividend, 89-1-,.—ln the Foreign Mar-
ket there was little doing, and the prices have
little varied. Greek Scrip was heavy, on ac-
count of the payment of an instalment next
week, 13 to 121 discount ; Colombian- Bonds
881 buyers ; Mexican Scrip 21 to 2.1 ; the
Danish, Brazil, and other Funds without altera.
tion.—ln the Share Market, a new Mining Com-
pany, called the Castello or Spirito Santo, made
its appearance. The shares were bought with
great eagerness, from 4 to 6 premium ; the price
at the close, 4 to 41 premium. The mine is
situated near Rio Janeiro. -Another new Com-
pany, a Granite Association, has also come out at
premium. In all the small Shares, as they are
termed at the Stock Exchange, there is much
bustle. The Shares of the Dye Company, the
Boulogne Company, Cobalt, Tin, &c. were all in
full operation. The Shares in the extensive con-
cerns of the Anglo-Mexican, United Mexican,
and others, are for the present neglected.
