The Insurrection in Candia.

ATHENS, Sept. 6.
The Greek papers publish the following protest
recently addressed by the Candian General Assem-
bly to the foreign consuls resident in Crete :
" M.M. les Consuls,—The representatives of the
august Christian Governments resident in Caney
have long been made acquainted with the reply for_
warded by the Grand Vizier to the central committee
and the population of Crete, in answer to the just
complaints the undersigned had humbly submitted.
to the Sublime Porte. The honourable representa-
tives of the august Christian Powers are also aware
that, in presence of arbitrary conduct, violence, and
unjust exactions, we were forced to declare solemnly.
that this people had no other resource than to take
up arms to defend its honour, its life, and its fortune,
and to repel force by force. Nevertheless, in this
painful situation, the undersigned—who have con..
stituted themselves the General Assembly of the
Candians by virtue of fresh authority from the peo-
ple—have considered that it was their inevitable and
sacred duty to draw up a new report, exposing the
falsehood and injustice of the pretensions put for-
ward by the Sublime Porte. Not having the means
of transmitting the report to Constantinople, they
have decided upon sending it to Greece to be pub-
lished by the press. They have, however, the honour
to forward herewith a copy of the said report (not
published), trusting that you would kindly contri-
bute towards enlightening youpaug,ust Governments
upon the artifices and tophistriei* which the Ira-
petial aovernmento whose mere fwe have in vain
implored, has recourse.

" We hasten, further, to draw your attention to
the following facts, reserving,to ourselves to ask
your testimony at an opportune time :
" Placing faith in the words of the Egyptian.
Sirdar, Salim Pasha, who repeatedly assured us he
had received full powers from the Sublime Porte
to treat with us upon the Candian question, we
should have become the victims of trickery and
deception had we not recalled in time the deputies
we sent to him in good faith. Fighting now in
arms for our security, we shall be compelled to re-
pulse the army if it attacks us and endeavours to
hunt us out of the caverns, whither we have been
forced to retreat with our wives and children, while
waiting for the august Christian Governments to
decide our fate.

" The undersigned at the same time respectfully
call upon MM. the Consuls to testify to the sacri-
leges committed by the imperial troops in the
churches of St. Kyriaki at Cydonia, of St. Deme-
trius, of the Holy Virgin, and of St. Pantelernich,
at Rhethyma, &c., together with the sacrileges per-
petrated in the Church of the Transfiguration at
Candauon, &c., the violence, brutalities, and the
tortures that peaceable and unarmed men have had
to suffer because they refused to sign petitions in
opposition to ours.—We have, &c.

(The signatures follow.)
The same journals also publish a petition signed
by a number of the inhabitants of Epirus and for-
warded to the English, French, Prussian, and Rus-
sian Ministers at Corfu. It is as follows :

" Your Excellency,—Men expecting from one
moment to another to fall victims to the cruel fana-
ticism of the Mussulmans cast themselves at your
feet requesting grace and mercy from his Majesty,
the august Sovereign whom you represent.
" We have abandoned our children and every-
thing precious in this world to the vengeance of our
tyrants, and have come from Epirus at the demand
of 20,000 of our brethren, suffering the most seri-
ous evils, to cast ourselves at your feet as sup..
pliants, and to implore the protection of the august
Sovereign you represent. We know that every So-
vereign is free in domestic Government. But if the
philanthropic hearts of civilised nations nowhere
tolerate traffic in slaves will the Sovereigns of
Europe in future tolerate the violation of treaties,
cruelties, unjust banishments, acts of oppression and
vandalism, spoliation, and the rage of the Ottoman
Government against the unhappy Christians, all
unquestionably far worse than traffic iu slaves ?
-We cannot believe it. No longer able to support
the yoke weighing upon us, and foreseeing our
complete ruin, we pray your excellency to deign
to represent to your Government the miserable and
desperate condition of the Christians in Epirus,
who, with one voice, demand to be released from
the Ottoman rule, and to be reunited with their free
brethren the Ilellenes, before the plains of Epirus
shall again be drenched with Greek blood."

TILE FUTURE OF MExico.—The Times, com-
menting upon the collapse of the Mexican empire,
remarks that if the Mexicans have learnt, dur-
inga period of foreign occupation any of the
duties of civilised men, or have qualified them-
selves for becoming the citizens-of an organised and
responsible State, one would be ready to hail the
phenomenon of a native Government with all satis-
faction, but in the absence or obscurity of auy such
prospect one cannot but express regret at the failure
of an enterprise which was calculated to do good to
many, and which assuredly did wrong to none.
There was possibly a miscalculation at the bottom
of the enterprise itself, but as regards the conduct
of it the Times knows of but one fault with which
the Emperor Napoleon can be fairly charged.
When he occupied the capital and assumed
the government of Mexico, he did so, not
with an impartial condemnation of the old
factions, but with a preference to one of them.

tentions and was probably—_if was pos-
sible between such candidates—the more worthless
faction of the two. Juarez had offered terms, but
they were refused, and so, driven like more respect-
, able patriots into exile, he at last organised a suc-
icuesishfuei resistance to the invader. If ho has acquired
process any such principles as befit a consti-
tutional ruler, or any such power as is necessary to
sustain a Government, we may
see an independent,
Mexico in the list of civilised States, but we are not
yet acquainted with any facts which could induce a
belief in such an event, and it is far more probable
that an immediate return of confusion and another

With that result Europe will have no disposition to
quarrel.
There is no shame to our manhood if we distrust
our own ability to endure the anguish of the body..,—.
