G!tEECE.—The 01 Greece is making
a, regular progress. The municip.il authorities of
many Grecian cities have established, for the in-
struction of yOuth, Lyceums, where they teach
iireek, Latin, modern languages, rhetoric, ma-
thematics, &c. The pupils, when completed in
their education, proceed to finish their studies in

_ .
different capitals of Europe, unless preyented by
filling some office at hOme. There they connect
themselves with the learned men, and become
their assistants, especially in superintending edi-
tions of the Gteek classics. Often they find, in
their countrymen, who are scattered over different
countries; enlightened patrons ; 'among whorl'
may be named, the brothers Zostm arms in Russia,

Ivh6 dis.titigui:ll themselves by defraying the ex-
pence of many fine editions of the ancient Grer•k
authOrs. The fallowing circumstance, as coi►-
nected with this subject, deserves to be mentioned.
A Grecian Lady, named BAS KAKI, has dispos6l of
her fortune (ationt- 100,000 fra►ics) 'in favour of
Siatiste, heritative city, to establish there a school
for the sciences and polite literature, under the
protection of Siratta-v, the Patr►arch of Constan-
tinople, a Prelate of great acq►►irements, and
distinguished by his love for Greece, his 'native
country. •

On Wednesday last, a yonng gentleman, when
walking the streets, had his arm taken hold of .by
female, who canied hn to a house of bad fame.
On coming into the light she burst into tears;
but what was his surprize when he recognized in

her the daughter (only
.18 years of age) of an

The young gentleman had the happiness of re-
