[MORNING POST.]
It will be in the remembrance of our readers,
.hat some time since we called their attention to
be Report presented by Mr. Blaquiere to the
Greek Committee, :aiming the claims which the
Greek Confederatiop had upon the Christian
world for support. The Report is now pub-
lished in the form of a pamphlet (together
with the additional facts, also submitted by
the, same Gentleman to the Committee),
and we have no doubt a perusal, of it will
create general interest in favour of the brave
and suffering peOple who aro the objects of the
author's solicitude. It is written in a pleasing
style, and contains so much useful information re-
spectine the present situation of Greece, that it
must command attention even from those (if any
indeed can be found) who feel indifference as
to the result or the present contest between
the Greeks and their ferocious opponents. It
is easy to obsehre that Mr. Blaquiere is a most
zealous and able advocate for the cause of the
Greeks ; but his zeal does not appear to lead ,
him into the slightest departure from plain facts.
The he gives in a manner which, almost intrin-
sically, proves their accuracy. His conclusions
are offered distinctly from his facts ; so that the
reader is always enabled, to agree with, or dissent
from the conclusions of his Author upon the lame
circumstances do which they both proceed. We
repeat that, as a work containing local inforrna-
lion alone, this Report is well worthy u public
notice ; but when we connect it with the cause

in support of 'which it is put forth, we cannot but
heartily wish for its extensive circulation, being
convinced that that circulation will not fall to
promote that sacred cause.

probable that information Of this event would have

MOANING,FIERALD.]
Papers and Aetters ofVednesclay and Thurs-
day were received yesterday from Paris. They
contain brief and rather Unimportant ,notices
dated from Madrid .the:26th,iand Port St. Mary
thn22d ult. In the Spanish Capita 110 incident
of any interest' had occurred. T‘he-Regents and
their. partisans appeared to thirst. for the blood of

-
'liege, with whicii, most probably, they will be
gratified,-as there ismo lougetreason tolloubt his
baing given up to the Spanish Authorities. A
version of his capture is ..put forth in the
French Papers, evidently with the view to
represents him as a prisoner, not of the. French,
but of the Spaniards of the Faith. The story- al-
together is like a bad melodratne—not only un.
true, but improbable. Some of the French Jour.
nals eontinue to exhibit the Regency. and thtz
Chiefs of the French army as at variance;
Marshal Oudinot, Duke of lteggio, who coin-
mends, the first division occupying liaclrld,
stated to be so disgusted with their Itighnessesx
as to wish for and solicit his recall. The for,

lrecognized by Commissioners duly authorized
from the King of Spain, before he had re-
moved from Madrid. The two parties might
split afterwards upon the final conditions of the
!peace' and go to war again ; but each has recog-
Inized the other as
.a substantive Power, compe-
tent to treat, hy the undeniable fact that they
Nye treated together, and concluded a conven-
tion.. Should the French succeed, therefore, in
obtaining possession of King Ferdinand's person,
they never surely could be dishonourable enough
to prevent him from ratifying this convention, in
order that they might attempt to seize one
of the provinces no longer his to give. The next
document, being a supplement to the preceding, is
the legal authorization of theG overnmentof Buenos
Ayres to ratify the before-mentioned convention,
and also to admit thereto the other South American
States ,Chile, Peru, &c. The last is a law,or a law
project, authorizing the Government of Buenos-
Ayres to assist the Constitutional Government
of Old Spajn with the same sum of money to
resist the French invasion, as the two Legisla-
tive bodies of France had then voted in order to
carry it into execution.—The propriety of our
appointing Consuls to the late revolted States of
South America is proved by the convention now
made public, if, indeed, she appointments did not
spring from a secret knowledge of the convention.

' tress of Figueras is said to have capitulated. The
precise terms are not stated. Lopes Banns is stated
to have agreed to a convention in the same terms
with that of Ballasteros. But it is only before
Cadiz that events of any material interest
may be looked for,. An attack seems, hourly
impending by '"la rod land ; and it is reite-
rated, for the Itogfiedth time, that all was
consternation in--Cadiz and the Isla. It
is likely, however, that, at least, there repre-
sentations are, at last, well founded. The
treachery or imbecility of the leaders of the
Spanish troops, and Governors of some of the
fortresses, must have caused confusion and
dismay among the besieged, were they even
better provided than they are with the moral and
erial resoumps of defence. It appears from
Spanish Journal, published in Cadiz, that the
consternation had extended even to the leading
Members of the Cortes. They seem divided in
opinion on almost every point but the desperate
situation to which they are reduced.
