THE GREEKS.

The subjoined article having been omitted in a
portion of our impression yesterday, we deem it
plover to re-publish it to-day, in order that so
cheering a statement of the situation of the
Greeks may be submitted to the whole of our
Readers.

" We some time since informed our Readers
that the independence and repose of Greece was
under the serious consideration of the Great
Powers. 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 established in
the enjoyment of that independence which they
have so nobly merited by their perseverance, their
sacrifices, and their heroism. Under this feeling,
it has been 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-
fore, should he 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 him 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 ; as our Readers are
aware that a very powerful force is pre paring, both
at Chatham and sheerness, for the storming of
that strong hold of the Algerine pirates. 13oth the
Paella of EGYPT and the I)ey 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, for 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
STRANGPORD 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, *hich 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 it in seeking to continue those
scenes of carnage which have already been so re-
volting to the best feelings of all Christendom."

The following extract is from the Etoile of
Thursday, received this morning :
MADRID, MAY 21.—We can positively state that the treaty
concluded between France and Spain relative to the army of
occupation has just undergone an alteration. The French
troops, which were to quit the Peninsula on the first of next
July, will remain till the month of January, 1825, to the great
satisfaction of all the friends of order, peace, and the throne.
TRIESTE, MAY 12.—The veil which still conceals the
causes of the dreadful catastrophe at Cairo begins to be raised.
A letter from Alexandria, of April 4, announces the re-ap-
pearance on the stage of a personage formerly famous, but who
has been totally forgotten for these eight years past. This is
Ibraham Bey, the brave companion in arms of Murad Bey.
This ancient chief of the Mamelukes, a personal enemy to the
Viceroy, who caused all his relations and friends to be massa-
creed, has by a coup de main, and aided by secret friends, made
himself master of the citadel of Cairo, by which he has the com-
mand of the city..
This great event took place on the 25th of March, that is,
four days after the explosion and the fire of the 21st, which
may hence be naturally explained. It is added, that Ibrahim
Bey has acted at the secret instigation of the Porte, which has
promised him the government of Egypt, in the room of Mei-net
Ali, whom it justly dreads.
What is certain is, that the great expedition prepared
against the Greeks will not sail.—(Augsburg Gazette.)

Yesterday Mr. Secretary CANNING gave a
grand diplomatic dinner at Gloucester Lodge.
Amongst the distinguished guests were, their
Majesties the King and Queen of the SANDWICH
ISLANDS, who were accompanied to Gloucester
Lodge by their interpreter and other attendants.
Their Majesties seemed to be highly delighted
by the attentions of the Right non. Secretary.

The name of the new Portuguese War Mi-
nister is FRANCISCO de PAULA LEITE, Viscount
de Veiros.

THE FEMALE AERONAUT.—BEDDINGTON, yes-
terday morning.—Miss STOCKS has had a better night than
any since her being here ; she still continues rather feverish,
but we are happy to say she slept a good deal during the night.
She was visited twice yesterday by Mr. Wallace the surgeon,
who gave very favourable hopes of her recovery. Mr. Wallace,
sen. visited his patient at half-past ten o'clock this morning.—
He found her in a tranquil sleep, and pronounced her com-
pletely out of danger, and in a fair way of recovery.
London was scarcely ever known to be more
full than it is at present. We have heard of one
hotel-keeper alone, who has been obliged to turn
away upwards of ninety families whom he could
,
not accommodate.
