GREECE.

The Leipsic Gazette, of the 28th inst., publishes
the text of a communication, from the French Govern-
ment to the Powers of Europe, on the internal affairs of
Greece. This document, dated the 11th ult., begins
by stating that the attention of the Cabinets of Eu-
rope, and that of London in particular, had been re-
cently turned to circumstances of an unpleasant na-
ture connected with Greece, which gave rise to
apprehensions that her Government was not suffi-
ciently strong to command respect from its subjects.
This, it says, is the more to be deplored, since the
increase of the Greek population, the improvement
of agriculture, and the augmentation of the public reve-
nue, show the country to be possessed of vital energies,
which could only be compromised by the faults of its
administrative system. France, consequently, calls on
the protecting Powers, and on those who subsequently
to the treaty of 1827 have entered into relations of amity
with it, to address friendly representations to King Otho
on this subject. France does not consider Greece suffi-
ciently ripe for the establishment of a constitutional Go-.
vernment, but she suggests that the attributes of the
Council of State might be extended and provincial and
municipal councils be instituted. This system would both
strengthen and regulate the Royal authority, and would
have the advantage of being in unison with the national
tradition. The document then concludes with an appeal
to the Cabinets of Europe to save a kingdom which they
had founded from all evils of sufficient gravity to compro-
mise their common work, and all the interests connected
with it.

Letters from Athens state that Adm. Lasusse arrived
there on the 20th of August with the Inflexible and Saud
Petro.

MONEY and toMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING.
.The Public Securities wore a less buoyant appear-
ance to-day, in consequence of the preparations for the
fourth of the month, and also owing to the rather unfa-
vourable tenor of the advices by the Overland Mail. For
immediate transfer Consols were 89i to 8, closing at
89i to and for Account 90* to i ; Exchequer Bills
were not higher than 14 to 16 premium, and East India
Bonds dropped to 2 premium and par ; Bank Stock was
firm at 169 to ; the New Three-and-a-Half per Cents.
were at 988 to and the Three per Cents. at 90 to.
The Foreign Securities did not appear to participate
in the decline of our own Stocks, Spanish Bonds having
gone higher, in fact, on account of the favourable advices
received from. Madrid. The Actives advanced to-day to
21i and 2 q ; Portuguese New Five per Cents. were at a
rise to 30i to 304, Mexican Bonds were at 24-, Colom-
bian at 20-1 to t, and Brazilian at 664 to 67, being for all
a slight improvement. Austrian Metalliques were at
104, Danish at 791, and Dutch Two-and-a Half per
Cents. at 51i to 52.
Railway Shares were rather pressed on the market
and dropped in value. Great 'Western Shares were 15i,
the New 54, the Birmingham 69 to 70, and the New 22
premium. Brighton were 28 to 3t Croydon 1, and North
Midland 35 discount. Colonial 'Bank Shares were q
premium.

The expresses published early in the day giving the
contents of the telegraphic despatch in anticipation of
the Overland Mail caused some excitement in the Tea
market, but parties were generally indisposed to operate
until further details shall be received, and prices did, not
vary much. Company's Congou was 2s. 3kd. per lb. cash,
closing at that rate on 'Change, sellers.

(From The Sun of Last Night.)
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, AUG. 31.—This being
Tuesday, and market day at Manchester, the attendance
and buyers were extremely thin, and the business does
not amount to more than 2,500 bales, with scarcely any
alteration iu prices, excepting in some instances a slight
reduction for inferior American exporters and specu-
lators, altogether inactive.
LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET, AUG. 31.—We have
no particular feature in the Share Market to notice to-
day. The following are the transactions ;—Eastern
Counties, 8 ; Debentures, 81 ; Grand Junction, 201 ;
Ditto Half shares, 100 ; Chester and Crewe, 50 ; Great
Western Half, 561 • North Midland Thirds, 93+.
MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE,+ AUG. 31.—Our
Market is still improving, and Stock is scarce. Man-
chester and Birmingham, 21+ ; Manchester and Leeds,
Halves, 25; North Midland, 66i ; Ditto, Halves, 334 ;
Manchester Assurance, 9i.

The Great Liverpool steamer has arrived at Malta
with the Indian Mail ; she left Bombay on the 19th of
July. The dates from China are the 20th of May, at
which time thin4s remained in the same state. The Em-
peror is still decided on resisting, and he had ordered a
numerous muster of troops, which are to be commanded
by his brother in person.

The English Stock Market opened rather flat this
morning. Consols are 891 4 for Money, and 90* / for
the Account. Exchequer Bills, 14 16. Spanish Active
Stock, 21/ 1 ; Passive, 5* ; Deferred, 101 1 ; Portu-
guese Five per Cents., 304 I; Ditto Three per Cents. 18k.
Till the news from China appears in a more detailed
form than it at present does in the telegraphic despatch
which is announced as being received in Paris, the Tea
speculators feel much disinclined to operate, although
some of the more hardy in these matters look upon the
statement that the Emperor is determined to resist as a
prelude to the stoppage of the supplies of Tea. This of
course:is a mere matter of opinion. As it is, the specu
lative article, Company's Congous, is quoted at 2s. 3d. per
lb. cash. which is an advance of to 4 upon the first
prices of the day.
The Batavia steamer has just arrived, with letters and
papers from Rotterdam of yesterday's date. The DutO
Five per Cents. came 101 1146th5., and the Two-and-a.
Half per Cents. 51 13-16ths 1.
There has been but little business doing in the Eng.
lish Stock Market. Consols are now 89i1 for Money,
and 90* 4 for the Account. Three per Cents. Reduced,
90 ; itto Three-and-a-Half, 99i ; Bank :Stock, 169 ;
India Bonds have receded to 1 dis. to par ; Exchequer
Bills are 14 16 prem.
There has been more business doing in the Foreign
Market than for some days past. Spanish Active Stock
has advanced to 211 ; Brazilian Bonds are 661 ; Colom-
bian, 214; Mexican 26i ; Portuguese Five per Cents. 301 ;
Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 52 ; Ditto Fives 102.
Very little business doing in Shares. Great Western
New are 561 ex. div. ; London and Brighton 47* ;
Ditto and Birmingham, 159 ex. div. ; North Midland,
New, 10 ; South Eastern and Dover, 171.
The accounts by the Overland Express, if as meagre
in detail as the outline furnished by the telegraphic re-
port, are not likely to give much satisfaction. The
Tea jobbers have derived more confidence from
the news, as they think it in favour of a
protracted contest. Prices, therefore, are likely to
go up again, but cannot be correctly quoted at present,
as parties are indisposed to operate till further details
are received. As the British had not begun to show
what they can do, the preparation with us
being unquestionable, the worst part of the
business, there is every reason to hope, despite the
assertions to the contrary, that our troops will "astonish
he natives" when they do commence, and soon bring
them to terms. About the end of June, it is supposed,
we may have opened the campaign.
The Dutch Mail, just in, brings intelligence of a steady
bat rather dull market for the funds at Amsterdam on
Monday. The Two-and-a-Half per Cents. closed at 51i..
From Dresden we learn that the wife of M. Thier'S
had been taken ill there, and was likely to be confined
to her chamber for some days.
Consols, Money, 894 s ; Ditto, Account, 901 ; Spa-
nish, 211 itthe‘ only Foreign Stock in which there is any
businea doing, and speculation seems to have set in for
the rise.

SUMMARY OF NEWS

AND
Publtc Opttlion.

" Who runs may read"

POILEXGN.
The India Mail arrived at Malta on the 27th, and
at Marseilles on the 31st of August, with news from
Bombay to the 19th of July, and from China to the 20th
of May. His Celestial Majesty; the Emperor, was con-
centrating a large force, commanded by his brother in
person, to " utterly cut off and exterminate the English
barbarians ;" but whether like the King of Ava he has
cgm►nanded his pig-tailed warriors to march upon and
burn London, is not recorded. Admiral Parker and Sir
Henry Pottinger sailed from Bombay for China on thv
7th of July, on board the Sesostris steamer. The re-
inforcements had preceded them, so that on their ar-
rival in the Chinese waters hostilities would at once be
resumed.

A circular addressed by France to the Courts of Lon-
don, Vienna, Berlin, and St. Petersburgh, dated the 11th
ult., on the internal Government of Greece, appears in
the Leipsic Gazette of the 28th instant. France sug-
gests that all the Powers in amity with Greece, and par-
ticularly the. protecting Powers, shall address represen-
tations to King Otho on the subject of his misgovern-
ment of that country, and calling upon him to extend
the attributes of the Council of State, and to institute
provincial and. municipal councils, in order to prepare
Greece for the orderly establishment of a representative
constitutional Government. We rejoice to see France
take the initiative in a work so, worthy of her civiliza-
tion, her recollections, and her glory ; and we rejoice
still more heartily to find her stating in this document
that England was the most urgent in recommending her
to make this appeal to the public justice of Europe. Lord
Palmerston has not quitted office without bequeathing
the rich legacy of independence to Greece.
The Paris Journals continue to shower abuse upon
M. Guizot for the praises bestowed upon him by the
British press. The National says :—" It is really quite
delectable to witness the tender sympathy which binds
the British press to M. Guizot. A unanimous concert of
praise is sounded by the London Journals ; no doubt to
drown the effects of the discordant charivari of Caen.
We are-anxious to take note of 'this success of our Fe.
reign Minister, as nothing can better prove from whence
he comes, where he is leading us, and who are his
masters.," -

.The Commerce sings to the same tune: • " Guizot,
the obit orn'eharirari in France;" -exclaims M'. Mau-
'coinforted by the English papers of
every party. This is as it should be." In ninety-nine
cases out -of 'erth-yininclred; the concluding observation
of the Commerce is pretty correct. He would be a shal-
low politician who would suspect the patriotism of a
French statesman on the evidence of a charivari in the
usual French fashion.

. -
The Courrzer Francais is equally bitter. It says "The London Journals are unanimous in support of M.
Guizot. This support looks suspicious, for is is an in-
terested one, and France, we tear, will in the end be
the sufferer by it. Our interests arc decidedly opposed to
those of allied Europe. A man cannot be popular both
in London and in Paris: He must, perforce; make an
option between France and England. It seems that M.
Guizot has made his choice. • Ours is not the same.
As for the English papers, since they find M. Guizot so
excellent a statesman, such a perfect Minister, why do
they not make place for him in the British Cabinet ?
France would be too happy to be rid of him." With all
due deference for the .opinion of the Courrier
Francais, we take leave to observe that France
does not so abound in great men that she can afford to lose
the services of the greatest of which she can at present
boast. Were M. Guizot to choose another country
France could not fill up the blank made by his absence.
England would be proud to see M. Guizot enrolled
among the number of her citizens.
The Legitimist Journal Quotidienne remarks :—" M.
Guizot ought to feel completely happy. He seeks to be
unpopular in France; and. no Minister ever enjoyed more
unpopularity than lie does. His aim is to attract the
admiration of England, and lo ! every English paper
eulogises the policy of our Foreign Minister as the
most noble and the most courageous. A Radical
Evening Paper ( The Sun), even treats as vile
and base the adversaries of our great doctrinaire."
M. Guizot takes his stand on the principle of maintain-
ing the peace of Europe. His adversaries are the ene-
mies of peace and the progress of civilization. Regard-
ing them, as we do, in that light, no reprobation is too
severe for them. •

The Constitutionncl and the Courrier Francais, not-
withstanding their condemnation of the Whigs, have al-
ready taken the alarm at the accession of the Tories to
office. The former journal says :—" We have, as re-
gards foreign policy, still less confidence in the Tories
than the Whigs. Sir Robert Peel and Lord Aberdeen
will, as far as France is concerned, adopt the conduct of
Lord Palmerston ; or if they modify it, it will be in the
way of aggravation." The Courrier Francais, in allud-
ing to a report that Lord Londonderry would succeed
Earl Granville in Paris, observes:—" This will be the
first insult of the Tories to France, and without doubt
they will not stop there."
Admiral Lasusse arrived at Athens on the 20th of
August with the Inflexible and Santir Petro ships of war.

PUBLIC OPINION.
I The Morning Chronicle, alluding to the meagre reve-
lations as to his intended course of policy, lately made
by Sir Robert Peel in Parliament; says—" The whole
debate on the AddresS showed, beyond the shadow of a
doubt, that Sir Robert Peel had no clear and distinct
line of policy, based upon principle, and firmly settled in
his own mind ;' and as plainly did Sir Robert's own
speech declare, that even if he had such a line of po-
licy,' he was not prepared to carry it into action with
resolute decision.' He gently pushed the Duke of
Richmond on one side ; he threw the Orangemen over-
board ; he avowed his fears of being able to carry on the
Government, in the intimation that he would throw up
office if he was not efficiently supported; and Lord Stan-
ley, in the absence of Sir Robert, declared that they had
turned out an honest man and able Minister because—
his place was wanted! In short, Sir Robert Peel has
been made Prime Minister by the landed interest,
in order to maintain the existing Corn-laws ; and yet
Sir Robert has declared that he is not quite' pre--
pared to maintain the details of the existing law!
"
The time is fast approaching when Sir Robert Peel will
find in this infirtnity, of purpose his deadliest enemy.
Caution and 'vacillation, and a truckling to expediency,
may do well enough in sunny weather, but when clouds
darken the political horiion, their utter folly and useless-
ness are at once seen and appreciated. The Right Hon.
Baronet takes office at a season full of peril, and when
nothing but prOmptitude, decision, and energy can
rescue the country froth its present distresses. Never-
theless, he seems inclined to play over again his favourite
game of " fast and loose ;" to hold out specious pro-
mises to all parties, and stick manfully by none. It was
not by such timid, milk-and-water policy as this, that
his great idol, Pitt, ruled with a high hind the destinies
of England for upwards of twenty years. While avoid-
ing his faults Sir Robert Peel may at least imitate his
energy with-advantage.
The Herald thus expatiates on the deserts of Sir Ro-
bert Peel :—" We haVejlig,h}ly touched upon what we
deem the ' good fortune' of Sir Robert Peel, and we
hope that we may not be misunderstood in the employ-
ment of that phrase. Need we remark, that we employ
it in no disparaging or illiberal sense. So far from that
being in our.. contemplation, we rather intend to do
justice to the forbearance and self-restraint which
have been powerful enough to withhold him from
realising, as he might have done, his political triumph
at a much earlier period. his prudence and fore-
sight have been signally manifested in this course of
action. Their reivard will be proportionally permanent."
Our Contemporary is perfectly correct in applying the
term " good fortune" to Sir Robert Peel's success as a
public man. He has been pre-eminently lucky through
life—indeed luck has been the chief secret of his eleva-
tion. He was lucky in the accident of enormous wealth
—lucky in the period at which he entered public life, and
in the party to which he attached himself—lucky in the
turn of his mind, which keeps him for ever within " the
decencies" of politics-L-and, above all, lucky in the pos-
session of just that sort of cunning which, in the eyes of
the superficial, passes for uncommon sagacity. We
know no statesman of modern times who owes,sp much
to luck, and so little to strong intellectual capacjisyr.tii

been constantly taunt lig the- Whig-Radicals with their
poverty ;' 3,et now Iffltriista that it was these poor men
who bribed, and their rich adversaries who refrained,
from doing so. •
The Advertiser observes—" Sir Robert Peel's whole
life and habits.forbid the hope of his daring to shake off
the fetters of faction in this most important crisis of his
country's fate, even though the glory of such an act
would annihilate the odium of all his previous apos-
tacies, and immortalize him as the most illustrious states-
man of his age, who, having been taught by experience
the futility and danger of resisting the just claims of an
enlightened people, conceded in good time what might
otherwise be wrested from him by forcible appliances,
and consolidated an equitable and harmonious system of
government, where the bitter conflicts of industry and
aristocracy had previously threatened revolution.
The Times concludes a lengthy article on Lord John
Russell, with the following passage :—" It is curious
that Lord J. Russell should have taken have of office
, almost in the words used by a former eminent Whig
Minister—Lord North. Both Noble Lords, we have no
doubt, werelequally,sincere ; both meant
-well by their
country ; both were men of abilities, both possessed and
deserved a considerable • share of personal respect. The
policy of the one, as well as of the other, has been con-
demned by the nation ; and in the one case, as well as
in the other, that condemnation will be ratified by pos-
terity." This is not the case, and our Contemporaryknows well that it is not so. Lord North's policy, 'as re-
gards the American war, was indeed condemned by the
nation ; but Lord John Russell's policy has been con-
demned only by the monopolists, and thwarted only by
the operation of the Chandos Clause. •
We quote the following from .the Brighton Guardian :
As to the deficiency of revenue, the Tories have
approved of all the measures—such as the war in
.Syria,
China, Ifindostan . and Canada, which have occasioned
it—except, and the exception is worth the public notice,

MORNINW

those measures, such as the reduction of the pr stage
I which have been granted to the prayers of the people.
They demanded incessantly a great increase in the navy ,
and army, and were parties to every expense and every -
extravagance. They acquiesced in the plan of providitl:
for an increase of the revenue, should that be tegnired,,
suggested by Mr. Rice ; and they cordially supported ',ll
and praised the plan for that purpose brought forwardl4,
in 1840 by the Chancellor of the Exchequer."
The Tyne Mercury thus glances at Sir Robert Peel'sy:
present position :—" The manner in which the ultras;
have been turned aside, as it is stated, by Sir Robert,;
would seem to signify that his course would be with the
moderates ; but this will be considered as a declaration:
of war against the. ultras, so that in the very conimence-
ment there will be such a jarring and clashing of inte-:
rests, that the Baronet will probably wish himself out iir.t;
office before he has well taken his-seat."
The Dublin Pilot, speaking of the amendment to -•
Address, remarks as follows:—" One thing is datinglYL,-.
avowed by the Tory amendment—that although her 7Vlii;-,`,
jesty is the first personage in the State—although

—neither in her personal nor functional capacity is her

The Times and Morning Post, now jealous ',coil
rivals for priority of information respecting the
movements in the Tory camp, give different ver-
sions of the new list of Cabinet Ministers. The
former journal states that the Duke of Welling-
ton is to be President of the. Council and 'the:
Duke of Buckingham Privy Seal, while our more ',if
polite Contemporary gives the first. of these ap-
pointments to the Duke of Buckingham, and the .1;;;
second to the Duke of Richmond. Besides the
list in the first journal is very; defective. One
