The Allgemeine Zeitung, of the 18th inst., has
been received this forenoon. The intelligence which
it contains from Constantinople has been anticipated by
the French Papers ; and the account which it gives of
the action off Mitylene and Foches, between part of
the Turkish and Greek naval forces, is only another
version of that which has previously reached us front
various quarters. There is nothing else in it worth
mentioning.

Another act of that melancholy drama—the Down.
fall of Greece, or what may be as justly styled the
farce of the " Forty Thieves," was represented ou
Monday at the City of London Tavern, and fully re-
ported in our Paper of yesterday. It was, indeed, o
exhibition in which men of honour might blush to
participate, when even rogues began to shrink from the
damning infamy of their own doings. But e
the
plot thickens in proportion as the characters deeper' in
guilt, and the public wonder at such barefaced wicked-
ness, is only restrained by the contempt and indigna-
tion generated by the disclosures of so much fraud,
,hypocrisy, and meanness, by men who affect to hold
justice sacred, but whose conduct has been as abumi-
nble as their hearts are selfish and base. Our readers,
who feel an interest in the fate of Greece—and all, ho-
nourable minds must feel interested in the forlorn for-
tunes of a brave, but calumniated people, struggling
for independence—minds possessed of the least spark
of patriotic fervour, must have wept with virtuous in"
dignation, to contemplate that there is no law to Pu'
nish these swindlers of public confidence, at lion%
and the sworn foes of Greece, both at home and abroad...—.
they must indeed lament, that the lash of public
horn
cannot reach such men—and burn with anguis 10
think that the destiny of a once powerful people,
should have been entrusted to the keeping of such self-
constituted guardians, whose only ambition appeared to
be to share the obloquy of a betrayal of trust, and to
divide the spoil of dishonour--for the whole affair seems
a tissue of plunder, by men alive to no principle of
ionesty—

"Who, dead to glory, only burn for gold."
But it
.appears that though much rascality has heel
brought to light, that much more remains behind. The
unwilling disclosure at each meeting only adds tono the
iniquity of past misdeeds, while it points to time er-
mous misconduct which seeks to hide its baselles„4
