'FRANKFORT PAPERS.

CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. W.—The speedy ter-
mination of the Greek insurrection is again an-
nounced with the same confidence as the last four
years, and under circumstances equally favour-
able to the Greeks, and ♦ery few persons venture
to express any doubts. The most unfavourable re-
ports for the Greeks come to us from Smyrna ; ac-
.cording to these, the Moreotes desert, Colocotroni
io unable to assemble any army. Napoli is desti-
tute of all means of defence ; and Missolonghi,
which within a short time has been thrice stated
to be conquered, ig now declared to be certainly
on the point of falling. All these statements,
however, have been so often repeated, that
they may very well be left to tite Oriental
Spectator alone, were it not the duty of the nar-
rator to communicate all accounts, whether the
news is favourable to the Greeks or the Turks.
Bad as was the situation of the Greeks before
the middle of Jane, or as it may now be, it is
remarkable that no new military event, no fact
is communicated with which we were not

previously acquainted. This circumstance rouses
the hopes of the Greeks here, even without the
effect produced on their minds by the appa-
rently decisive system of England, which seems
really now to have embraced the part of
the Greeks. The latest accounts, even those
from the Consuls, agree, that Commodore
Hamilton, commanding the British force in the
Archipelago, who has collected his squadron
About Hydra, Spezzia, and Napoli di Romania,
encouraged the Greeks to resist,and even assisted
them on many occasions. Here, indeed, it is
said, that the British Government has acted iu
this manner 9n account of its subjects who are in-
terested by the loans (which, indeed, would be the
best excuse of this conduct, which affects the re-
Aations of several Powers, and will strictly lead to
serious discussions between the European Powers.)
That this mode of proceeding is therefore founded
on financial, rather than political views, and many
persons think that the appearance of the British
squadron is rather to be considered as a kind of
• iaockade, and perhaps as a last means to get pos.
session of certain fortresses, by way of security.

'New Law for regulating British Weights and
Measures, which is to commence on the Ist of
