-HAGUE, MAY 7.-1 n the Memorial which
Count Hogendorp has presented to the Chamber
on the affairs of Agriculture, he says, that the in-
crease in the prices of gram of late years was a
consequence of the unparallelled Revolutions
which took place during that period. He is of opi-

Ilion that this increase of price causes a propor

tionate increase in those or all the other neces-
saries of life, and that these prices generally
falling back to their former standard, it follows,
of course, that the prices of grain must return to
the standard of former cheap times. As by this
.course of things the landlord cannot obtain the
same high rent for his land, which he has enjoyed
;of late years, the Count thinks that the Govern-
meta ought to reduce the Land Tax (which was
calculated according to .the. high price of pro-
duce) in a suitable proportion. He, however,
thinks it injudicious to raise the prices of grain
by any especial protection afforded to Agricul-
ture. Referring toEngland, as an example, he
_thinks` that if Agriculture- enjoys such special
protection, it must be 'extended to other branches
of industry, in order in this manner to effect a,
proportionate rise in all other commodities, and
to this necessity he ascribes the difficulties with
which England has to contend, both with respect

to•its taxation and its numerous poor. The ex-
pences of the conveyance by sea, and the import
duties, afford, in the Count's opinion, a sufficient
protection to the native farmer ; but for the rest
judges that a free trade and the certainty of
being able to export to all quarters, must have
the most beneficial consequences for agriculture.
conclusidn, he declares that his particular in-

terest as land owner and cultivator induces him,
to assert these principles, as all private interests
are included in the general good, which never.
must be sacrificed to temporary inconvenience.
MARSEILLES, APRIL 2.7.—A vessel is just sailed
for Greece, with twenty-five military passengers.
We have two arrivals from Alexandria and
Smyrna. Of the Turkish fleet, thirty-four sail
had arrived at Alexandria, on the 14th March,
after their defeat by the Greeks ; but several
:lad been destroyed in entering the port by a
terrible hurricane. The Paclia of Egypt pro-
poses transporting, in fifty vessels, a number of
„Albanian troops; and to make a descent on Cy-
, prus and 'Candy. The Isle of Scio was taken on
tfie 22d March by the inhabitants of Samos.
qhe Rosalie left Smyrna on the 24th March, and
*as summoned back by the French Consul, on.
account of the massacres, but the captain refused
to obey. Our letters from Smyrna are of the
-2d April. The Turks were infuriated by the
loss of Scio, which was taken by 3000 Samiotes,
after a bloody sCruggle. They fixed upon the
house of the French Consul of Scio, who sent a
Conrier to Smyrna, on the arrival of whom a
,:ishipof war was dispatched, which removed him,
the Catholic Archbishop, and his congregation.
A thousand Asiatic Turks had arrived at Smyrna,
who are committing all sorts of horrors ; assassi-
, ating from two to twelve persons per day, and
tiring in at the windows of the Christians.. At
- Constantinople a-fleet is preparing for Sci6.—The
most satisfactory accounts arrive from the Morea,
Candy, Epirus, and Thessaly. The Lord Com-
missioner of the lonian Islands, who allows tha
Turks to *where they please, and to do what
. they will, his sent a message to the Commander
of the Greek fleet, that he is not to silt on the
cost of Epirus. '
