A correspondent, after epatiating at consider-
able Jength on the prevailing disposition to em-
bellish the metropolis, the rapid advances which
architecture has made in a very few years, and
the 41111 greater progress which most likely it
will make. with the progress of wealth; luxury,
Mod -taste, suggests an important improvement
with . reference to the view of Westminster
Abbey. The existing space, though considerable,
does -not, he thinks, afford a favourable or ade-
quate perspective view of that glorious as well'as
venerable pile. He would therefore have removed
the double range of houses which forms the right
of Parliament-street; and the left of the back
street which runs parallel, looking towards the
Abbey. The church, which forms a contrast not
only -of • discordant style, bat absolute mean-
mess, should of course vanish at the same time.
Imagine further, that the repairs of the A obey are:
completed. And now let the eye of the specta;
tor, -descending from Charing-cross, range along,
gm open space, having the Admiralty, the Horse-
guards, the Treasuryl,in its improved state of re-
clitndant,, though nottintixceptionable beauty, and

project is reasonably practicable, may be doubt-
ed ; but the main objection to our correspondent's
design seems to be, the sacrifice which its execu-
tion would require.

[THE PUBLIC LEDGER.]
Last night we received the Austrian Observer
to the 21st ult. In an article from Constanti-
nople, dated the 25th of June, there is a circum-
stantial account of the defeat of the Greeks on
the Ist of June, some particulars of which we
laid before our readers on Friday last. The
Greeks were encamped in a fortified position
in the mountains, called by the Turks Mai-
naki-Tag, about twenty miles from Motion.—
The following is the Turkish Bulletin, publish-
ed in the capital three weeks after the battle,
which, as usual, is very short, and accompanied
the trophies of victory, 'set up at the gate of the
Seraglio Ibrahim Paella, Governor of the
Morea, and Commander of the Ottoman troops
in that Peninsula, having fixed his camp at Sca-
ramanga, eight leagues from Modon, and caused
Mount Mainaki to be surrounded, attacked the
insurgents encamped upon it, who, after two hours
hard fighting, were obliged to fly to Mount Zirve ;
the stone batteries in which they had entresiched
, themselves were surrounded by the Ottoman
troops, and.stormed; after an obstinate contest,
all .the rebels were put to the sword." The
armaments for vigorously _prosecuting the cam-
paign were going on every where with activity.
Several . companies of artillery, in addition to
those already sent off, were to leave Constanti-
ple almost: immediately to join the army of
Redschid Pacha., At Candia 4,000 men were
ready to embark for the Morea ; and 14,000
men, infantry and cavalry were said to be
ready at Alexandria, which seeing the ardour
with which the
_Viceroy has entered into the
contest, and considering the activity of his
genius, we do not look upon it as at all im-
probable. As to his motives time alone will
unravel them ; but whether they originate in
ambition, or fanaticism, or merely in submission
to the Porte, their effects upon the Greek cause
'are palpable as well as alarming. At Constanti-
nople the utmost tranquillity prevailed ; and with
the exception of the serious illness of the Grand
Vizier, and the deposition of the Berlanghi Bas-
chi, nothing had recently happened worthy of no-
tice. Even the plague had not made its usual visit
this year ; and fire, which used to break out
every night in some quarter of that vast capital,
had become of late an unusual occurrence. The
new Sardinian Ambassador had a soletmn
Once of the Grand Vizier, previously to the lat-
ter becoming ill ; and he was received with the
same honours and ceremonies as are paid on such
occasions to the -representatives of the Great
Powers. Even the Ambassador's wife and daugh-
ter were permitted to witness the ceremony; and
this circumstance is mentioned as a particular at-
tention on the part of the Turkish Government.
