settled over Western Europe, light is every day
breaking more fully into the brieht derofliherty
in the East, and diffusing life, and hope, and free-
do mover that classic land, so long trampled by the
hoof of the savage barbarian. The third attempt
of the ruthless Turk on Greece has utterly
failed ; his rabble hands have been scattered iu
disorder, and his fleet has experienced :nothing
but defeat. A letter, received from Salawina,
dated the sth of November, incloses a copy or
one from the Greek Admiral, on board his ship,
the Miaully, on the Ist of October. It confirms
the defeat of the Turkish fleet in the last
week of September. The Greeks having
found an opportunity to attack in divisions with
their fire ships, eleven- of the Capitan Pecha's
Vessels are said to have-been destroyed, and one
frigate of 24 guns captured ;- fifteen of his ships
were blockaded in the Gulf of Volo, and the
rentaitsder had fled in confusion to the Darda-
nelles, where they and -the Capitan Paella had.
arrived. The latter had landed at Constantinople,
and abandoned the remnant of his fugitive squa-
dron to his.Vice-Admiral‘ At the last meeting of
the infatuated Divan, where this functionary
assisted,- the vain project of an amnesty to the
Greeks (like that-of-Ferdinand's at Madrid) is
said to have been rejected. Corinth, it was
known, had fallen to the Greek forces, and the
Asiatics before Missolongbi had broken up in de-
spair : both these events had given new energy
to the Greeks. No amnesty or concessions now,
short of absolute freedom, will sontent this gallant
people ; they never will bend their necks to the
yoke of Moslem tyranny again. The Constitu-
timmel of Sunday contains in its columns a long
and interesting detail of the last compaign of the
barbarians in the Morea, which we regret the
crowded state of our columns will not permit us
to give this morning. It is full of Greek
heroism, and abounds with actions every way
worthy of them, and the immortal ancestors
from whom they are descended.

[MO It NINO cn itoNICLE•I
By a letter from Mexico it appears that public
opinion there is decidedly in favour of a Federa.
Live Republic. The example 'of their neighbours
of the United States has no doubt had a powerful.
influence on the people of the different provinces
lately forming the kiagdorn of New Spain.
—The well-informed among them have no
doubt discovered that a federative union.
with a general Government, and separate
Legislatures .for • division'. of the country of
moderate size, is the only political form by-
which it is possible to reconcile extensive domi-
nion and great power with a reasonable expecta-
tion that all parts of the country shall enjoy the
advantages of good Government. In the United
States,the separate Legislatures free the Congress
from the multitude of details which necessarily
oppress the British Parliament. The separate Le-
gislatUres not only leave the Congress free to
attend the affairs of paramount interest to the whole
union, and are enabled themselves .to do justice.
to the business which comes before them, hut the
public are infinitely more alive to proceedings in.
their vicinity, than to what takes place at a dis-
tance, and a strong public spirit is thereby creat-
ed and nourished.—This was the great argument
of Fletcher of Salton, against the incorporating
union between England and Scotland, and we can-
not help thinking that the soundness of his reason-
ing has been proved by the example of Ireland,
which would have been benefited by the existence
of a separate Parliament, of which the functions,
like those of the Local Legislatures of America,
should have been limited in such a way as not to
clash with the Assembly in which the measures
for the whole Empire were determined on. What
advantages, for instance, does not Jamaica derive
from her Assembly, which secures her from the
arbitrary system pursued in the new Colonies
The jealousies of political. men in Mexico, and.
the difficulties which they occasion to those in the
possession of power for the time, are inseparable
from such a change as that which has taker'
place in that part of the world. In a few years
this state of things will give way to order
and regularity. - The settling of the new Go-
vernment is an affair of ever::: one ; but, when
the. Government is once fairly established, the
activity of the community w ill not be exclusively
directed to public affairs. The cultivation of
the country, commerce, mining, Scc., in short, all
the ways by which wealth and. comfort can be
obtained, will necessarily occupy the many more
than affairs of state. .
