.POST.I.

The tempestuous weather which has again
prevailed since our last, has diminished the num-
ber of arrivals from foreign ports, and we much
fear that the next advises from the coast will
afford fresh causes for sympathy and sorrow. The
Brussels Papers in general reach us in little
more, and sometimes in less than two days ;
but in consequence of the difficulties of the
crossing, only those to the 2d instant, have yet
come to hand. They contain but little intelli-
gence ; but that little is not without interest.
The Austrian Cabinet had dispatched an Extra-
ordinary Courier to London, with a note in re-
ply to that sent to Vienna by us, relatively to
the affairs of Greece. The nature of both com-
munications is of course not positively known ;
but enough transpires to show that there is not a
perfect unity of views on this important subject,
between the two Courts and Ministries. The po-
litical system of Great Britain, with respect to
Greece, it is avowed, differs in many points from
that hitherto adopted by the Austrian Adminis-
tration, " ptincipally in what concerns the future
emancipation of the Peloponnesus, independent
of the supreme authority of the Porte." From
this it would appear that our Government had re-
commended, or proposed, the erection of the
Morea into a separate and wholly independent
Principality or State, instead of that kind
of imperfect and bastard independence nomi-
nally possessed by ‘Vallachia and Molda-
via, whose only advantage, if it be one,
is to be ruled and taxed by Native Satraps
acting in strict obedience to the dictates of the
Porte. That such a condition would not suit a
people, who had de facto atchieved their com-
plete liberation from the yoke of the oppressor,
till European Governments lent countenance and
ships to their enemies, and thus con!rihuted to
convey invasion, slaughter, and desolation to their
shores, is both natural and evident. The Bar.
barians, whom Christian complicity has lodged
in the heart of the Peloponnesus are neither so
numerous, nor possessed of so many strong places
as those whom the first efforts of the Moreans drove
away or exterminted. They will receive no farther
aid from European treachery, for that treachery
has been ex posed,and its recurrence would not only
bring double execration upon its authors, but
would justify immediate and effective counterac-
tion on the part of those Powers to whom Greece
has appealed for justice and protection. The
present state of the Morea is therefore no bar to
its being acknowledged independent ; for if the
contending parties be fairly left to themselves, not
many months will be required to clear the country
a second time of its invaders. Under these circum-
stances we cannot but think that the following com-
munication from Vienna is substantially correct in
its statements ; the more so as it shows on the
part of the Austrian Cabinet an obstinate wish
to cling to its anti-hellenic policy to the last, and
to withhold its consent even from the godlike
measure of mediating between foes, until it finds
that it stands alone in the cause of usurpation
against legitimate possession ; of barbarism against .
civilization ; of Mohammed against Christ.

[MORNING HERALD.]
WE are glad to hear that the Ministerial
Scheme Shares for rearing silk worms, and in-
creasing silk goods in Ireland, are not likely to
be filled up by the credulous. We deprecate all
interference or meddling on the part of the Mi-
nistry with trade of any description. All that
the Ministry of any country has to do is to pro-
tect people in the possession of their property.
And as to trade, the more it is left to take care
of itself the better. If the Irish people import
silk from Italy they must pay for that silk in
butter, salted fish, or some other Irish produce ;
and it matters not to Ireland whether her people
be employed in producing butter and salting it,
or curing fish for the Catholics of Italy, and ex•
porting it to Italy in payment for silk ; or whe-
ther the same number of hands be employed in
the production of mulberry trees and silk worms,
and in the weaving of silk goods. The old stupid
principle of producing every thing within our-
selves is fast dying away; and the principle of
" If you import a commodity, yon most export a
commodity in payment," is fast superseding it.
If there were no imports there could be no
exports, except gold only were received its
payment, and gold, beyond a sufficient quantity
for the purposes of mediums or making into

tensils and trinkets, is or no use. An excess
rf gold does not strengthen a country, as we
hove seen in the case of Spain. A. supera-
bundance of it tends rather to make people
idle, and idleness produces viciousness. But
'what would become of the shipping interests if
Re were to produce every thing within ourselves,
and suffer nothing to be imported in payment for
our commodities but gold ? We are surprised
that Lord Liverpool and Mr. Iluskisson should
have lent themselves to such a humbug thing, as
we are sure the Irish Silk Scheme would be, if
attempted to be carried into effect.

[DRITISII PRESS. j
It appears by the Dublin Papers of Friday,
that some effort would be made to celebrate the
anniversary of King William's birth-day with
public rejoicings. Too great honour cannot be
rendered to his illustrious memory but we fear
from the. tenor of the announcement, and in the
present state of political feeling in Ireland, that
the festival would be regarded only as a party
triumph, and that the occasion would serve but
to embitter and exasperate the feuds which dis-
tract and agitate the- country. The following
paragraph is from the Dublin Morning Courier :
GLORIOLts, Pious, AND IMMORTAL MEMORY.
—This is a day which should fill our hearts with gratitude and
eisr glasses with bumpers !--it is the anniversary of the Birth
of that unrivalled Prince, who established the rights, liberties,
and religion of Albion, on what, we trust, will prove an impe-
rishable basis. Let the soi disant liberal sneer as he will, Wil-
liam 111. it was who first introduced the genuine principles of
rational liberty, and gave intolerance its mortal blow. NiThat
shall we therefore think of that faction which becomes convulsed
with rage at the bare recollection of his name ? Shall not this
detestation which they evince to a memory so glorious and so
deservedly cheering to the lover of freedom, be attributed
solely to minds imbued with tyranny, and panting for the over-.
throw of our laws, our religion, and the stately fabric of ex-
panded intelleo, which looks down with a smile of pity on the
senseless struggles of bigotry, and the impotent menace of
selfish demagogues ?—Protestants, and Freemen! let not the
birth-day of illiam pass unnoticed !"

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
We have some reason to think that the report
of Sir Charles Stuart going to Buenos Ayres, in
the interval until the ratification of the Brazil
Treaty arrives from Portugal, for the purpose of
settling the differences existing between the Im-
perial Government and that of Buenos, is prema-
ture, if not without foundation. The subject
was talked of at Rio, soon after Sir Charles's ar.
rival, among persons -who certainly were anxious
that some compromise should take place, in order
to prevent the derangement that necessarily must
ensue, in case of a war, in the commercial and
agricultural enterprises of both countries, and no
doubt the report alluded to arose out of this ex-
pression of their wishes, coupled with the high
character and eligibility of the wished for me-
diator. Sir C. Stuart, in Brazil, stands in a very
delicate situation, being the representative of
the King of Portugal, for a special purpose,
and his mission cannot be considered as at
an end, until the ratifications of the Treaty
he has just concluded are formally exchang-
ed. The existing difference between the Bra.
zilian and Buenos Ayres Government, re-
specting the tenure of the Eastern Bank of the
River Plate, has, we are led to believe, been very
strongly urged on the attention of our Cabinet
by the Authorities of La Plata, and this, no
doubt, was one of the objects of Mr. Rivadavia's
late mission to this country ; but it is well known
that the negociations, opened with a view to
obtain British interference and mediation, are
in an infant state, if it can be said that they
ever existed. In a local dispute of the nature
here alluded to, it would not be possible for
the British Government to interfere, in the cha-
racter of mediator, with the, previous consent of
both parties ; and to this, we understand, the Em-
peror Don Pedro is totally averse. The dispute
is certainly a complicated one; and even if it
were decided by an umpire to-morrow, that the
Brazilians should quit the Eastern Bank, a fresh
difficulty would arise as to the manner in which
they were to be reimbursed for their expences in
putting down Artigas, and preserving the country
from anarchy and desolation for so many years,
at an immense expence.

[THE PUBLIC LEDGE[t.]
Last night we received Brussels Papers to the
2d instant. It is stated in 7'he Trieste Observer
of the 17th ult. that the Greeks continue to com-
mit great depredations on Austrian shipping. The
Venetian Observer mentions one vessel, which,
aCcording.to,the former, was captured by Greek
Mystics, as having safely arrived at Trieste. This
skews how careful one ought to be in believing
one half of the atrocities that are ascribed to the
Greeks, .particularly.as these will never find any
favour,or.even justice,in certain quarters,as long as
they are arrayed on the side of freedom The ship,
falsely said to have been captured, left Alexandria
on the 19th of Sept., at which time the expedi-
tion ,w 44 ready to sail, and waited only for a fa-
voerable, wind to put to sea. As the enemies of
Greece are thOs redoubling their exertions, we
are happy to be able to adduCe a new proof of
active syrnpathy.on the part of their friends. It
is stated,ntider the head Lausanne, that the Greek
Committee at Geneva has collected nearly 30,000
francs, the produce of the subscription in that
City. If our surmises, however, are correct, the
Greeks are not left wholly to the effects of
private.sympathy, and they have more powerful
friends than is generally imagined, or they are pro-
bably aware of themselves.—lt appears certain
thai' their affairs are this time the subject of a
very active correspondence bet Ween the leading
European Cabinets and we also learn from an
article in these Papers, nder the head Vienna, Oct.
19, that an Extraordinary Courier had left that
capital 'with reply to an English Note, which
had been addressed to the Austrian Cabinet a
short time before. It is stated., in the same ar-
ticle, that tlie policy of England, as far as the
Greeks are 'concerned, differs in many points
frorii that hitherto pUrsued by the Court of
Vienna. With the policy of the latter, every
one, we presume, is acquainted, which is to
deliver up the Greeks defenceless to Mussul-
man vengeance, merely becanse such consum-
mation.would suit the interests, or, more correct-
Gspeaking, the /prejudices, Of the Austrian
overnment. As-the happiness and liberty of
other nations are not in collision with British in-

terests, but are, on the contrary; eminently fa-
vourable to them, we are not surprised at being
told that the English Cabinet is friendly to the
absolute independence of Greece. The Greeks
may rest assured, in the mean time, that their
offer to place themselves and their destinies un-
der British protection, will not be forgotten in
any deliberation or decision, concerning their
affairs, in which this country may take a share.
