SUN-OFFICE, THREE O'CLOCK.

We some time since informed our Readers
that the independence and repose of Greece was
under the serious consideration of the Great
Power►►. We are now enabled to reiterate, in
the strongest terms, the assurance that all the
Great Cabinets are firmly resolved that the
sanguinary state of affairs in the East of Europe
shall be speedily terminated, and that they all
concur in the desire to see the Greeks establishedin
the enjoyment of that independence which they

have so nobly merited by their perseverance, their
sacrifices, and their heroism. Under this feel-
ing, it is with reluctance, and only on the press-
ing representations and remonstrances of the
Porte, that the Great Cabinets have agreed to
await the issue of this—the fourth campaign,—
which, however, they have definitively resolved
shall be the last; and unless the Turks, there-

'ores should be infinitely more successful than

their most sanguine friends will venture to
anticipate, the great question which is to
determine the fate of the most interesting portion
of Europe may be considered as having been
already decided by the valour of its inhabitants.
All the accounts are highly favourable to the
Greek cause,—particularly as the catastrophe
at Cairo has totally incapacitated the Pacha of
EGYPT from giving any support to the Ottoman
arms, even supposing hirn to be so inclined. The
blockade of Algiers is also a most favourable in-
cident for the Greeks and for the cause of civi-
' lization and humanity ; and our Readers are
aware that a very powerful force is preparing,both
at Chatham and Sheerness, for the storming of
that strong hold of the Algerine pirates. Both the
Paella of EGYPT and the Dey of
ALGIERS are
therefore completely paralysed ; and it is well
known that the PORTE itself labours under
the greatest difficulties from the want of money.

In addition to these gratifying facts, fur the ac-
curacy of which we pledge ourselves, we have
the satisfaction to assure our Readers that there

is not the slightest foundation for the alleged
promise said to have been given by Lord
STRANcronn to the Divan, for the recal of the
British Officers who are serving in the ranks
of the Greeks.—The Porte, therefore, hav-
ing already failed in three successive cam-
paigns, which have only increased the strength,
enlarged the resources, and enhanced the glory,
of its active and indefatigable enemy, can have
no rational hope of acquiring any successes in the
present campaign, on which it enters with dimi-
nished power and exhausted resources, that
would justify in seeking to continue those scenes
of carnage which have already been so revolting
to the best feelings of all Christendom.

The Slur of last night treated the important
official accounts from Lisbon as a mere Stock-
jobbing rumour! The Courier discredited what it
also believed to be only a rumour, by boldly as-
•
sertmg that " No such intelligence had been re-
ceived at the Foreign Office !"—Now, we hap-
pen to know that the same intelligence which
was given in TIE Sex was received by our Go-
vernment yesterday, before the Evening Papers
were put to press.
