fore, which in the other case was a relief, is evi-
dently, under present circumstances, an aggra-
vation of the evil. These reflectio. amelp
from a circumstance of no small importance which
we have just heard, and upon the truth of which
our Readers may rely. There is recently ar-
rived in this country a.perion—we believe of
great respectability--named Shepherd, a Quaker,
.whose object is to take out a body of emigrants to
Upper Canada. He has succeeded to the .utmost
of his wishes; and—would our Readers believe
it ?—it is from Devonshire that he draws his fol-
lowers on the present expedition. That sweet
county, with its delicious climate, is obliged to
shoot forth its inhabitants to mingle with the
Iroquois of North America ; to pick up a savege
and precarious subsistence in the woods and on
the lakes, and to contend with the native tribes
for the possession of their lands. T:4l,- banks of
the Tamar, and Ex, and Teigne, Must be ex-
changed for the shores of lake Erie, and lake
Huron; and Michigan, and tke Red River!

[MORNING HERALD.]
King Ferdinand of Naples still continued at
Elorence, notwithstanding the importunity of
those about him to induce him to set out for Na-
ples. his reluctance is natural. .He and his
subjects must be ashamed to look each other in
the face.—The Greek insurrection still proceeds
rapidly. It would appear that the whole Greek
nation was regularly organised for this insurrec-
tion. One thing tells for the Greeks. If the
Grand Signor failed to put one rebel down (Ali
Pacha), what can he do with so many, particu-
larly now that a junction is expected by the in-
surgent Chief? The worst of this business is the
system of mutual slaughter upon which the war
goes on—Turks assassinate Greeks, and Greeks
Turks, whenever an occasion occurs.

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
The Ministerial Papers observe prudent si-
lence now with regard to the conduct of the
Emperor Alexander. When we first insinuated
that this paragon of Christian Sovereigns might
have something to do with the insurrection, we
were loaded by them with abuse, and when the
Declaration from Laybach appeared there were no
bounds to their triumph. We thought it singular
enough that a Russian Major-General and a num-
ber of Greeks in the Russian service should con-
trive to leave Russia to commence this insurrection,
and that passports should ba -furnished to as
many Greeks as chose to set out from Odessa
for Yassy, without the connivance of the Rus-
sian authorities. We always understood, too,
that a plan of partition was agreed -on at Er-
furth between Alexander and Napoleon, by
which Napoleon was to take Spain, and Rus-
sia European Turkey ; and as the Emperor
of Russia was then above 30 years of age, a
time of life when his Christian principles were no
doubt fullY formed, we thought if he could re-
concile this act of robbery with these principles
then, he might be equally ingenious now. The
Ministerial Papers, however, seemed to view
matters in Ei very different light. The uniform
conduct of Russia to Turkey, and the system of
spoliation on which she has uniformly proceeded
with every one of her neighbours down to our
own day, were- all 'thrown in the shade by the
Declaration at Laybach. Do they now begin to
lose any.part of their confidence ?
