Nr-Pats.—The, beautiful temple known by th,l
:appellation of the illaison"Curn`e has undeygon'e
considerable repairs. The roof has been restored
to its ancient shape, the cornice in Ake-
eastern façade, which. -was much decayed and
very 166.4, :has been rendered quite firm and 'se
ctire. It is now intended to clear away the 'Tub-
bish- below, which has accumulated to a' depth of
nearly nine feet, and to restate the bases-or the
-coltimns ;' so that :the, temple will-.'thin be. rorn-
pletely visible, although much sunk beneath th(,
level of the surrounding place, from which it will
be S6pirated by a handsome iron palli~a din ,
placed on the.top.of the stone-facing of the-area.

DENMAllK.—Grumbp.ck has translated "rola
the Anglo--Sixon an ancient Gothic heroic poem,
.entitled Bioietirs Dralia, a composition of very
great dittiquity, having been written more than ten
centuries. Professor -Rahbeck has -also pro-
duced a translation of the Mci/a or' Saga
of Brennunia, one of the oldest and most
curious of Icelandic Sagas. ft is printed In
the first volume of his Northern Tales. As this
eminent writer and elegant poet has turned his
attention to the traditions and mythology of the
early periods of the Northern Nations,. much
may b,e expected from soindustrions- and skilful

its labours with uninterrupted and indefatigable
zeal. The Siturlunga Saga,
.an undertaking of
extraordinary magnitude and of no less historiCal
importance, is now completed. The Society
contemplates another design of equal interest,.
namely, editing a collection of the best Icelandic
Poets. Professor Finn Magnussen observes,,in
his interesting papers on Northern Archce"ology,
that, the extraordinary attachment which Oluf

FINE A a ts'in the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
GoVernment is by no means inattentive to
the interests of the Fine Arts, Which it..endea-
vourS to pr'omOte by instituting schoolSs acatle,.
•mies, and public exhibitions : the last are Opened
annually both at Amsterdam and Antwerp:—
Among the most distinguished artists may be men-
tioned the following names, viz.—L. Moritz (a
pupil of the celebrated French painter, David),
an historical painter, possegsing much talent and.
of considerable reputatiim in historical subjects.
A. de L!elle : this artist has produced som•very
pleasing, compositions belonging to that
which the French term tat/lea:ix de genre.--
T. Pie'meman, a clever historical painter, known
by his picture of the Battle of Quatre Bras—
J. A. de Waikihand his pupil C. l(ruseman, two
excellent portrait painters : the latter is likewise
particularly happy in domestic scenes and con-
verSation pieces.-31. .1. Van Bree, first professor
of the Academy of Fine Arts at Antwerp : this
artist is indisputably superior to any of his coun-
trymen ; his 'productions display more talent-,
and are uniformly distinguished by ingenious
composition, tasteful grouping, and noble simpli-
city. His grand picture of the Battle of Leyden,
now deposited in, the Sladt-house of that city,
is reckoned the chef d'thuvre of his pencil,—
../.‘ Paling: this artist is professedly a portrait
painter, but has executed several. historical sub-
jects, among others the Battle of Waterloo.—
C. Sels, a successful emulator of the Italian
school,, which he approaches in purity of design,
delicacy of touch, and in his stile of colouring,—,
Versteeg has distinguished himself as a success-
ful imitator of Gerard Douw, and is remarkable
for high :finishing, delicacy of pencilling, and
striking effects of light and shade...Nic. Bow,
a niezlander, is an excellent painter of marine
subjects : in the Amsterdam exhibition, last year,
there were by, him two exceedingly fine views of,
that city, as seen from the sea, _which attracted'
general attention, although they did not produce
a sensation equal to that caused by his painting
of 'the BoMbardment of Algiers on the 29th .of
August,
.1816. The Netherlands -have never
produced any very fine sculptors; yet Gabriel,
a native of Amsterdam, who has studied under
Ca»ova, displays great talent, and his first efforts
in the art promise something of more ihaii ordi-
nary worth.

BOTANICAL GARDENS.---The most ancient b 0...
tanic Garden-of which there is any authentic: re.
cord is that founded by. Theophrastus, with thrt
i:sistance of Demosthenes of Phalerus, about 300
years before the Christian -era. In the Capitu-
larks of Charlemagne are to be found diredtions
concerning gardens, and lists of the plants •to..be
grown in them. At the, request of MeSsrs. Gual-
tieri, the republic of Venice formed a public
garden for the cultiviltien.of medicinal plants in
the year 1333; and in the Stith century Italyfex,
liibited many similar establishmertts,although.the
French claim the merit of having given.the first
example of any thing of•the kind in the Botanical
Garden at Montpelier. Thi.-•„:hoivever, did :nc4

tainly the first of the I,iud in that kingdom; and

ON THE PAST AND 'PRESENT CIRCUMSTANCES
OF .TEIs COUNTRY,

'WITH A VIEW TO THE RELIEF OF AGIIICELTUR.E,

MANUF-A.CTCRES, AND COMMERCE.

(Continued from our Paper of Saturday.)
It' was Dr. SMITH'S principal discovery to per-
ceive that " the annual labour of every na-

" tiOn is the fund which originally supplies it
" with all
.the , necessaries -and conveniencies of
life which it annually consumes, and which
" consist ai*ays either in the -immediate. produce
" df that labour, or in what is purchased with
" that produce froth other nations." In enume-
rating the different :portions .of the capital of a
great nation, one consists- In " the acquired and
“ 040 all.the inhabitants or Mein-
. 44bet*'.1'of the society." This Sort of capital in
this country had never been 'so productive as
previously to 1812: It was computed that 150
Inillions.per annum were then paid for manual
labour alone in the United Kingdom. The clear
pro4ls of the acquired and useful abilities of
all the other members of society composing the
active classes, could not at the time be less than
15.0 millions more, and exclusive. of interest

upon all sorts of capital.
If our present population were a positive evil,
all effectual remedies would, in the nature of

things, be positively good. But the increase of
population ought not itself to be considered as an
evil, because we possess an extensive territory
Set unimproved and uncultivated, and because
;he only effectual means by which the progress
of population can be arrested are inconsistent
with proper feeling, and common policy. Emi-
gration is, at the best, only a palliative. Eve'ry
human being possessing any art, trade, or mystery,
is, on that account, a portion of capital for .the
production of national wealth, and an instrument
for the promotion of national happiness. Indi-
gence, misery, and disease are the most effectual
checks 'to population in a considerable nation;
'but these being the greatest possible evils to the
individuals suffering ; and as the happiness and
prosperity, or the misery and adversity, of a
state is made up of the enjoyments, or sufferings
-of individuals, sOindigence, misery, and disease,
while checking population, are at the same time
in the most effectual manner diminishing the sum
'of national prosperity, and national riappiness.
Our population, therefore, at present, cannot be
a real evil in this extensive country ; but some
'other circumstances, which lead us to deem it one.
While the increase of population is viewed as
a disadvantage, Dr. PALEY'S eloquent and argu-.
mentative chapter on population and provision,
well deserves attention. Intreating indulgence
for attempting to abridge the leading principles
he so beautifully illustrated-, they are these
The final view of all national politics is to pro-

duce the greatest quantity of happiness in a given
tract of country. The happiness of a community
is made up of the happiness of individuals. The
quantity of happiness in a given district, although
it is possible it may be increased, the number
of inhabitants remaining the same, is chiefly and
niost naturally affected by the alteration of the
numbers.; consequently the decay of population
is the greatest evil that a State can suffer; and
-the improvement of it the object which -ought,
in all countries, to be aimed at in preference to any
other political purpose whatsoever.
The importance of population, and the supe-
riority of it to every other national advantage,
are points necessary to be inculcated. A com-
petition, however, can seldom arise between the
dvatiCement of population and any measure of
sober utility ; because in the ordinary progress
of human affairs, whatever in any way contri-
Inttes to make a people happier, tends to render
them more numerous.
`As to the people of a country becoming so nu-
aprons as to exhaust all the provision which the
soil can be made to produce ; the numbers of the
people have seldom, in any country, arrived at
this limit, or even approached it. In our own,
'which holds ainiost the first place in the know-
ledge and encouragement of agriculture, let it
only be supposed that every field in England,
of the same orii,inal quality with those in the
-neighbourhood of the merropolis, and conse-
quently capable of the same fertility, were, by a
-like management, made to yield an equal pro-
'duce, and it may be gsserted,- I believe .with
truth, that the quantity of 'human provision raised
the island would be increased fivefold. '
To these, Dr. PALSY'S leading principles, may
be added an opinion recently published by Pro-
fessor NlALTitus, in a volume of additions to his
former work (page 199), in which he says, " In
" such a state of the soil, the British 'Empire
" might unquestionably be able, not only to sup-
" port from its own agriCultural, resources its
46 present population, but double, and in time
44 perhaps treble the number."
-. Amid the multitude of undoubted proofs, that
-production is at this time going forward with in,
creasing' force, the most anxious solicitude-may be
satisfied that the 'population of this nation is not
'yet likely to increase in any ratio to press upon
the means of subsistence. On the contrary, it' is
deplorable to perceive that a multitude of indi-
viduals, surrounded by abundance, cannot for
-want of employment obtain sufficient food by
means of labour ; and that population, with re-
gard to these individuals, is sustaining the most
_painful checks.
- We possess abundance, but want distribution
and circulation. We cannot afford to part with
either consumers, distributors, or- circulators.
The most inactive wealthy consumers, who used
-to be termed unproductive, are instrumentally
productive, on account of their promoting industry
and distribution, as well as circulation. The
national debt being due almost wholly to British
-subjects, consumption and circulation provide the
revenue, and evdti the. Exchequer cannot afford
-to lose a single consumer. Even the' consump-
tion which charity supports, contributes con-
•siderably to the public revenue.
The lamentable increase of pauperism had its
origin in the greatest national advantages, the ex-
tension of agriculture and manufactures. With-
out complaining of their unquestionable impor-
tance, it may be regretted that remedies .have

not been iutficiently attended to. According to'
Mr. CHAtfticas's 4.‘stimate the diminution of the
number of houses in the agricultural counties was
considerable. In Suffolk and Norfolk, for ex-
ample, there were 14,732 and 7,439 ; more than
twenty-two thonsandhouseS less in those counties
in 1801 than in 1690. The inclosure of parish com-
mons also has deprived the'cottagers every where
of land upon which they reared poultry and other
provision for consumption and for sale. Both the
diminution of the number of small farm houses,
and the loss of accommodation land, have been the
chief causes of pauperism. It was not perceived
that although more corn was produced at less ex-
ponce by consolidating small farms, the system
would be attended by so much evil. The poor-
rates also have been increased by the practice of
keeping down the wages of labour, and making
up subsistence out of the rates. They have been
increased -by the manufacturing system ; which
profits by the youth, the strength, the energy,
And skill of a than, and returns him, too fre-
quently, without provision -for his latest wants,
aged and helpless to his parish. And they have
been increased by not providing employment for
those able to work, which was one of the objects
,of the statute of ELIZABETH.
The Earl of WiscnEr.scA. has in Rutlandshire
kept down the poor rates and conquered the
evils of pauperism by providing every cottager
with a portion of accommodation land. Some
-years ago we publicly suggested that men, able
to work, bat out of employment in any parish,
might be employed by digging_ portions of arable
land, at a price fixed between the occupier and
the parish, or even as profitable to the occupier
it having in all cases produced at. least double
crops. The culture of thy( by cottagers for
dresSing it in winter, is another object worthy of
attention. By encouraging-the adoption of these
remedies, both the moral and political conse-
quences of that truly afflicting evil, pauperism,
may be mitigated, although perhaps not sur-
mounted.

It has by several:authorities been computed
that nearly one fourth part of the surface of. these
Islands is yet uncultivattd. It were as presump-
tuous to suggest what portion of the remaining
waste land is capable of cultivation, as to deter-
mine that none of it will drow corn or esculent

plants. It has been a custom these fifteen years
to suppose that all good land is cultivated, and
that too much capital has been thrown away
upon poor land ; although every year parties
have deemed it their interest to apply to Par-
liament for Inclosure Acts. Within the last six
months many Inclosure Bills have been passed.
The obstacle is probably not in the barrenness of
the land, but in the expellees attending bringing
wastes into melioration. Five and thirty years
ago the lands in a circle round the village of
Sandy, in Bedfordshire, merely paid a great rent
to the Lord of the Manor. But part of this tract
of country has beou improved to forty shillings ,
per acre and upwards. In Tilgate Forest also,
formerly a rabbit warren, paying four pence an
acre, some of the land has been improved up to
forty shillings per acre. A multitude of other
such cases might be cited. In Holland the popu-
lation, compared to territory, is, next to Malta,
the greatest of any country in Europe. Many
people being out of employment, a large estate
composed of their poorest land was, on the return
of peace, purchased by public subscilptiori, under
the patronage of the King and Royal Family ;
500 poor people have been put upon the land
on the cottage system ; and although rent was
lost in the first years, it appears by the. latest
accounts that a fair rent for the land is now ex-
pected, independently of the happy consequences
of employing the people and preserving them
from misery and disease.

Our own gracious Sovereign, feeling at once
as the Father of his people and as a suffering
subject, has set a noble example of domestic co-
lonization upon Dartmoor, which might well be
followed by the affluent in other parts of the
Empire.

Ma. BELZONI.—A Medal has been struck by
the City of Padua, in honour of the celebrated
traveller BELZONI, who is a native of that place.
It appears that on his return to Europe, he took
the opportunity of his first visit to Italy, to pre-
sent to this (his native) city, two lion-headed
statues of granite, part of the fruits of his enter-
prising and successful researches ; they have been
placed in the great saloon of the I'alezza della
Justizia. The inhabitants of Padua, proud of
the distinction which their fellow citizen has so
justly obtained, have commemorated the gift as
well as the discoveries of the traveller.

MURDEROUS AFFRAY AT FOLKESTONE.—Be-
tween one and two o'clock •on the morning of
Thursday last a number of smugglers armed
with duck-guns, &c, assembled in Eastware Bay,
Folkestone,,for their illegal purposes : but being
discovered by the officer of the naval blockade
stationed there, and the alarm being-fired,: they
wheeled round and discharged repeated vollies
upon the King's officers, in consequence of which
Racn:t an Woo Ln moor, quarter-master, was
killed, his body being perforated in several
places. Lieut. DAVID PEAT was severely wound-
ed, having been shot in various parts of his body
with musket and pistol balls and buck shot, eight
of which have been extracted. We are happy
to add, however, that hopes of his recovery are
entertained, notwithstanding the :.number and
severity of his wounds. ROBERT HuNxEa and
JOHN WALKER, both. petty officers, were also
severely -wounded. .A coroner's inquest has been
held upon the body of WOOLDRIDGE, by the
Mayor of Folkestone, which, after several hours
deliberation, brought i►► a verdict of wilful mur-
der against persons unknown. The deceased
was a man of brave and most exemplary charac-
ter, had long served In the navy, and was uni-
versally respected by his officers. It appears he
did not fire until his officer had fallen by his
side; and after basing fallen himself, was repeat-
edly fired- on while lying on the ground, as well
as Lieutenant PEAT, by those -ferocious men.
The villains did not effect the :landing of a sit-
gle package of goods.

MAnttin, MAY, W.—The catastrophe of -Sri-
Inuesa has not frightened the forgers of Procla-
mations, for others are in tirculationmore absurd,
if possible, than those of that unfortunate indivi-

is a compound of folly and Ivickedness, which can
have issued only from a head turned lay fana-

The Circular sent on the 3d by the Minister of
Grace and Jugtice to the Prelates of the king-
dom begins already to produce an excellent
effect. The Bishop of Malaga published on the
15th a pastoral-letter, in which we find none of
the studied and artful circumlocutions, by which
writings Of this kind generally elude the execu-
tion of superior orders, while affecting to observe
them. The Bishop of Malaga does not act thus :
for he says, his clergy, in public and private, in
general and in particular, instruct all in the duty
of contributing each his share to the observance
of the Constitution, and obedience to the Ma-
gistrates. •

GREEK INSURRECTION.
Allocution of (4:ln/AN icus, EN-Arch of the First Acliaia, •
Archbishop of Patrasso; to the Clergy and the Faithful of
Peloponnasus, pronounced in the Convent of Mount Ve
Bth (.20th), of March, 1821.
" Ye,J dear Brothers !—The Lord, who pu-,
Dished our fathers and their children, announces
to you by my mouth, the termination of the days
of tears and trials. His voice has declared that
you shall be the crown of his glory, and the dia-
dem of his kingdom. The Holy Sion shall no
longer be delivered over to desolation (Isaiah,
lxii. 3.) The temple of the Lord treated like
an ignoble plate ; his vessels of glory dragged
in the mire •(1 Mach. ii. 8,9.) are about
to be avenged. The ancient mercies of the
Lord are about to descend upon his people. The
impious race of the Turks have filled up the mea-
sure of their iniquities; the hour of driving them ,
from Greece has arrived, according to the word of
the Eternal, " Drive out the slave, and the son
of the slave." (Gen, xxi. 10.) Arm, then,-Hel-
lenic race, doubly illustrious by your ,sires,.arm
with the zed of God, each of you gird on the sword;
for it is better to perish with arms in hand, than to .
see the d:sgrace of the sanctuary and of the coun-
' try. (Psal. xliv. 4.) Let us burst our bonds in
sunder, and the yoke that weighs upon our heads
(PFal. ii. 3,) for we are the heirs of God, and
joint heirs of Jesus Christ. (Psal. viii. 17.)
" Others than your prelate will speak to you
of the glory of your ancestors ; but for myself, I
shall only repeat to you the name of that God 'to
whom we owe a devotion stronger than death.—
(Cant. viii. 6.)
" To-morroW, preCeded by the Cross, we :shall
march towards the city of •Patrasso, the soil•of
which is sanctified by the blood of the glorious
martyr, the Apostle St. Andrew. The Lord
will increase your courage a hundred fold ; and to
add to the strength which is to animate you, I
release you from the fast of ' the Lent, which we
observe. Soldiers of the Cross lit is the cause of
heaven itself that you are called upon to defend.
In the name of the Father, arid of the Son, and
of the Holy Ghost, be blessed and absolved from
all your sins."

We have taken the following articles from The'
British Monitor or yesterday, and, as that paper
is generally early _as well as correct in its Foreign
Intelligence, events may occur at this critical
period of an unexpected nature.:7-- -
" It 13 Count de STACK ELBERG, a diplomatic
roue of the first order and not OckeMere as
erroneously stated in the French Papers, who is
arrived *at Paris on his way to London, charged
with a special mission from the Emperor ALEX-
ANDER to our' Court.: The frequent conferences
of Count de STACK ELBERG since his arrival in
Paris with the Duke de RICHELIEU, M. PASQU I ELL
the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and Sir CIIA LILES
STuART, have furnished the Quidnunds of Paris
with plenty of food for speculation.—lndeed, his
errand to this country, after the departure of
Count LI EVEN, would lead one to suppose that
his mission is not of a very pacific nature ! It is
confidently rumoured in the French Capital, that
Count 'de STACKELBERG is charged ty.declare,
that the Emperor- of RUSSIA is determined on
marching his,army-to Spain, notwithstanding his
assurances to the country in the Manifestos
lately issued at Laybach.
" It is also reported at Paris, that the Empe-
ror of AUSTRIA, being bound by treaty to assist
his relative, the King of Poamc Ar., in putting
down the Revolution of that country, has deter-
mined to join his forces to those of Russia, and
will march an army to 'Lisbon. The source from
which this intelligence is obtained, induces me
to look upon it as something more than a mere
on dit ! The Russian negociator is not yet arrived
in London.

" It is whispered at the French Court, that
the Duke de CAZES will shortly return to his
post. here as Ambassador 1"

A respectable young lady of Newark paid the
mitigated penalty of it. before the Magistrates of
that borough, for giving evasive answers to the
overseers, when taking down the population on
the 28th ult. in compliance with a late Act of
Parliament.

We understand that upwards of thirty farmers
now residing in the Isle of Wight, intend leaving
here for America in the course of a few months,
provided those which went out last week meet
with success.—(Hampshire Telegraph.)

MONDAY, JUNE /1, 1821.

The rumours of Ministerial Changes are still
very prevalent, but do not appear to rest on any
stronger foundation. It is reported that Mr.
CANNING IS to resume his station at the India
Board, as it has been intimated that Mr-

BATHURST took it only pro tempore, the former
Gentleman having resigned it. merely on motives
of delicacy. Other rumours state that Mr. HU'S-
KISSON is to preside at the India-Board, and that
Lord MELVILLE is likely to be the new Governor
General in India.

We received this morning the Paris Papers
of Thursday and Friday. The most recent in-
telligence from Constantinople describes in strong
colours the serious alarm produced by the Greek

3snrrection on the Ottoman Councils,. It is

ue that troops and artillery are sent forward to

wards the most vulnerable points ; but it would
seem that the Divan do not act on any regular
system, or that any harmony subsists between
the Pachas in command-of different bodies of
troops. That the Turkish Government is con-
scious of the great dangers with which it is me-
naced, and apprehensive for the fate of the capi-
tal, is evident from the vigorous measures they
are adopting to fortify Constantinople. The
news of the Greek Insurrection in the Morea is
said to have caused the execution of the Pa-
triarch of Constantinople. The horror excited
among the Greeks by Iris atrocious murder is be-
yond description. Not content with inflicting on
him the most ignominious of deaths, a band of
infamous wretches was ordered to cut down the
body from the gallows, drag it by the feet to
the arsenal, whence the executioner threw it into
the Bosphorus. The Archbishop of PAT RASSO has
published an Allocution to the Greeks, in which he
exhorts them to arise and deliver Greece from

the horrible oppression under which* it at present
groans. A translation of this exhortation will be
found in another column. The populace of
Constantinople continue to commit the greatest '
excesses; and the Janissaries have forced their
way into the house of the first Counsellor of,the
Russian Legation, seized all his papers, and
broke every thing they could find to pieces. The
affairs of Turkey 'have assumed so stormy an
aspect, that it is generally reported thrOughout
Germany a Congress will immediately assemble
at Vienna, to take them into consideration.
Troops from Austria and Russia continue to
march towards the Turkish frontier, and almost
all the Russian Guards have left Petersburgh.—
It appears that the Russian Ministers at the dif-
ferent German Courts have been ordered not to
deliver any more passports to German emigrants,
wishing to settle in New Russia, without receiv-
ing previous instructions to that effect from the
General Committee at Odessa.
The contents of Madrid Papers to the 28th

ult., which arrived last night, are given in a pre-
ceding column.
A private letter from the Spanish capital, of
the same date, states, that the Commander of the
Spanish Squadron, who was ordered by the Nea-
politan Government to leave the port of Naples,
and not to put into any other port of that king-
dom, has published the protest which he made
against this measure immediately before he sailed~.
MORILLO is determined to persevere in the strict
and energetic measures he has adopted since his
first entrance into office for the preservation of

order and the maintenance of the Royal dignity.
The Revolutionists are furious against him, but
fortunately their opposition is powerless. The
Council of War at Vittoria is proceeding with

activity in the trials of the Anti-constitutionalists
who were taken with arms in their hands. It is
said, however, an amnesty will 'be granted to
those concerned in the revolt of Alava and the
other Provinces, in which the insurrection broke
out before out before the new law relative to
crimes against the Constitution was passed.

We this day received Dutch Papers to the
9th instant. They contain some interesting ac-
counts from Sweden. The following is all that
is worth extraction :

" WAttsAw, MAY 22.—His Majesty the Em-
peror Alexander arrived here on the 20th. He
passed a part of the night in transacting business
with the Ministers of the Kingdom, and set out
yesterday at noon to proceed without stopping to
St.. Petersburgh.
4 6 The Russian and Polish troops, which are
marching towards Moldavia, are to form a cor-
don, to hinder the Turks from violating the Rus-
sian territory in pursuit of the Greek and Wal-
lachian Insurgents. The Emperor, besides, by
the Treaties of Peace of Szistowa and Bucharest,,
has guaranteed the privileges of the Principali-
ties of Moldavia and Wallachia ; should tl

Porte, therefore, after quelling this insurrectlon,
attempt to introduce a new Government into
the Principalities, Itusga will interfere to pre-
vent it.
" FRANKFORT, JUNE 4.—We have no later
news than that already received frog) Bukawina.
The Boyars fkf Ilegsy negZociaqm ith the Turkisit
Pasha of Ibrailaw, but seem not to hare much
confidence in him, and are therefore conveying
their most valuable property as far as possible
into a place of safety. Meantime the Greek
,garrison has been increased by recruits from 300
to 800 men. •Ypsilanti_and Theodore were at
Tergowist. and Bucharest, but there is no authen-
tic knowledge of the amount of their forces.—
The reports of the Greeks having passed the
Danube are not yet confirmed, but it seems that
some Turks, sent by the Paella -Of. Widdin,
crossed that river in the latter end of April, aad
killed some of the Greek insurgents."

[This is perhaps the divisionwhich the Greeks
assert that they repulsed oa the Ist May.]

Several files of American Papers. arrived this
morning, but none of a later date than the last

Ith May.)
