We may, we think, compare the peasants of
the Morea to their ancestors, the Arcadians,
who, even at the most flourishing period of their
history, were the vassals of a certain number of
noble families, by whom they were treated with
kindness without being allowed any political
privileges. Until the time of the• Philopcemen,
the Arcadians, notwithstanding their courage and
numbers, acted no distinguished military part,
for want of order and discipline. But who was
this Philopo2men ? Was he an adventurer, a
sophist, or a Radical of Athens ? No, he was a
great landholder, and superintended the cultiva-
tion of his estates.

The Peloponnesus has since possessed several
great landed proprietors, desirous of making their
vassals happy. The inhabitants of Elis culti-
vated in peace their smiling fields, under the
auspices of a branch of the imperial family of the
Ottomans, to whom this province was assigned
as an inheritance, perhaps as a place of banish-
.mcnt. Every thing flourished under their pater-
nal authority ; but a troop of Albanian robbers
established themselves on the barren mountains
of Arcadia, at "Ala, and made predatory incur-
sions into the lordship of the Ottomans, who not
being able to oppose an effectual resistance, of-
fered them certain concessions ; their demands,
however, rose higher every day, and at length
they finished by requiring the Ottoman Prin-
cesses to be given in marriage to their Beys:
from that time, as members of the reigning fa-
mily, they became the tyrants of the province,
setting the I'acha at defiance, and caring little
for the Sultan, who never went to the assistance
of his own blood.

From this Albanian race-the Hydriots are de-
scended, who are, according to M. Pouqueville,
rapacious and ferocious Schypetars, a term given
by him to the Albanians in this country.

A third band of Albanians settled at the foot'
of Mount Taygetus ; and though few in number,

The accounts of two modern travellers, •M: St;
SauVeurand Mr. Galt, would tend to shake our
confidence in the romantic picture of the pa-
triarchal manners of the Mainotes, published
under the name of Dimo Stephanopoli, if weliad
not received different statements from other sources
confirmatory of the representations•of the last
named writer. Agricultureand war are the only
occupations of the Mainotes. They can bring into
the field 15,000 fighting men, who for many years
have been trained tQ the European military exer-
cise; and when we consider their utter detesta-
tion of the Turks, not one of whom they per-
mit to set foot on their territory, we think they
will act.a distinguished part in the destinies of
Greece. Their unshaken fidelity towards their
brothers in arms, their generous hospitality to-
wards strangers, their mutual confidence in the
transactions of life, and their exalted filial love
and maternal tenderness have been most bril-
liantly described by the pen of Stephanopoli.
All authors however are agreed that we shall
find patriarchal manners and Bucolic pictures
among the Nomade Moraites of the Pelopon---
'Jesus. They are shepherds, who having no
fixed property, wander with their herds of goats
on deserted lands; their short jacket of skin or cot-
ton, the handkerchief rolled round their head, their
buskins and pipes, in short, the whole of their
appearance, recall to memory the Sicilian and
Italian shepherds of Theocritus; they reside in
caverns shaded by shrubs and flowers like that
of Amaryllis in the third Idyl. 46 Why can I
" not, like a bee, glide through the ivy and the
" fern which shades my grotto ?" They repose
in the day time on stibadia, resembling those
mentioned by Theocritus ; they are beds made
of rushes or grass, or herbs, suspended in the
air between four wooden stakes, which support
at the same time a slight canopy of leaves. They
may say with Polyphemus : " I am in want of
" nothing. I have milk fresh in winter and in
" summer ; a thousand sheep bleat in my vast
" caverns." It is however an oversight on the
part of travellers to suppose that these Nomades
are the Arcadian shepherds of Theocrat's, for
this poet never made Arcadia the scene of any of
his natural and delightful pictures ; but the lapse
of ages has brought the Peloponnesus to a state
of savage nature.
Yet, if the Peloponnesus were a beautiful de-
sert, where goats skipped to the sound of the
pastoral pipe, it would be peopled peaceably by
all those who love not the brilliant and hard yoke
of some of our great States. But we are not
here talking of the occupation of an imaginary
Arcadia, inhabited by a few shepherds. The Turk
will find its re-conquest not so easy. a task.
More than one barbarian horde, provided with
'all the instruments of war, dwells on this penin-
sula ; every where frowning battlements denote
the presence of warlike masters ; the Hydra of
Lerna raises every where his thousand heads ;
the birds of Stymphalus hover about in all direc-
tions, and there is no longer a Hercules.

VIENNA, AUG. 26.—Letters from the Turkish
frontiers state,' that, according to the latest ac-
counts from Constantinople, there will be no war
with Russia, the demands of the latter Power
. having been, after long deliberation, almost all
agreed to by the Divan. It is added, that in
those articles which. could not be wholly agreed
to, the.Porte.has proposed modifications of such a
nature that the Court of Petersburgh will be
disposed to accept them. The Russian, naviga-
tion through the Dardanelles will be free, and
no obstacle interposed. The Porte demands the
recal of the Baron de Strogonoffilloniteur.)
-- -AUG. is thought that, peace will not be
interrupted. This opinion is founded on the
yresamption that Russia, from the tenor of con-
, duct. she has observed, has no legitimate cause of
"war. In the answer sent by the Porte to Peters-
...burgh she has, it is said, consented to all the de-
mands of Russia. The Russians can have no in-
, tention of assisting the oppressed Greeks, be-
cause, in all the declarations of the Great Powers,
. the latter have been considered as rebels.—
.(6cstette de France.)
War is very doubtful. The Porte has raised
.the embargo placed on Russian ships, according
to_ advices of the 10th from Constantinople, and
has opened to them the passage of the Darda-
:miles. It is affirmed that the answer sent. by
the Porte to Petersburg is of a very pacifiC na-
t*.—(Journal des Debuts.) ' •
, . 'ODESSA, AUG. 10.-LExtract of a Private Let-
ter.]—" All business is at a stand : on the one
hand_we fear a rupture with the Porte; and on
the other an Ukase has just put an end to the
continuance of our port as a free port, which
will in future he only an entrepot,. like that of
Genoa. If this measure be not modified, it will
prove ruinous to those who have any goods in
their warehouses, because they are required to
pay- the duty of them or send them to the
flti.epot.

A 14.—Baron de Strogonoff arrived here
last night with all his suite. Our Governor,
Count de Langeron, immediately sent off dis-
katches to Count Orloff, commanding the fleet
at Sebastpool, to Count de Wittgenstein, com-
mander-in-Chief in Bessarabia, and also to Pe-
tersburgh. Crowds of people assembled this
morning under the windows of the Baron's house,
to congratulate him upon his happy arrival after
so many dangers

. . ..... It is confidently asserted;
accordingto the accounts brought by the Baron-de
.Strogonoff, that the greatest portion of the Otto-
man fleet has been taken by the Greeks; among
.the prisoners is the Turkish Admiral, Cara Ali.
BROD Y,-AUG. 14.—With .the'excei tion of a
strong body of troops between this town and
Odessa, nothing indicates that Russia will. take
an active part in favour of the Greeks ; political
considerations towards other Powers set m to de-
termine the Cabinet of Petersburgh to adopt dif-
ferent measures. from those she would most pro-
bably have otherwise: taken.
The Commerce of Odessa have made represen-
tations against the abolition of the freedom of that
port, but it is apprehended they will not be at-
tended ,with success. •

NUREMBERG, AUG. 31.—The cause of the in-
surgent. Greeks has excited a strong interest
among the youth of Germany. Several ladies of
high distinction have formed subscriptions for
the equipment of the volunteers proceeding to
Greece. A. number of students from Heidelberg
have gone to Trieste, and many other yoang rnen
have taken the route to Leghorn, to embark for
the Morea.

PRAWKFORT,SEOT. I.—The corps organized by
Baron Dalberg, in. aid of the Greeks, already
amounts to 700 men,. who 'will proceed to the
Morea in a few days. These new crusaders, like
their predecessors, wear on the breast a red cross.
It is- calculated that in 1814 there were 18,000
Greeks in the service of the Emperor of Russia,
of whom 12,000 were in the army, of all ranks,
from that. of the Ensign to the Major-General,
4000 were employed as Ministers, Consuls, and
in other civil departments' of Governments, and
the remainder in literary institutions. At the
same- period there' were 98 merchant vessels at
Hydria,.tuntle'r the
,Russian flag, 58 at' Spezzia,
4 at Paros, 19 at Pesara, and more than 150,000
Greeks- in the Ottoman .empire protected by
Russia, and living. under

.authority of the
Russian.Ambasshor and Consuls.

a prosecution instituted against him.

the Marquess de Prie, and Count Peron, have
just been condemned to death, and executed in

Princes of Germany in their favour, the King,
Charles Felix, replied, that he owed not only to
the tranquillity of his State, but to Europe, this
imperious act of justice. The fate of all the
