NAUPLIA, Amt. 7;

You have now been nearly three years away from
Greece, you have not witnessed the anarchy and oppro-
brium which disgraced 1827, nor the misrule of CAPO
D'lrraLts ; and you cannot, therefore, conceive the ge-
neral satisfaction which the choice of Prince LEOPOLD
has given to all parties. One might have thought that
the French would have cried out against it ; but they
are as strong in their approbation as we are.—
CA Po n'lsr Kilts has so well succeeded in alienating
the minds of all influential Greeks and honest strangers
from him, that the change is generally applauded, and
not a voice is raised against the selection. Prince Lao-
POLO will come to Greece under the beet auspices : he
will find a degree of order, a people tired of anarchy,
the branches of the administration in a sufficient man-
ner organized by his predecessor—and only needing cor-
rection from those abuses which the necessity of keeping
his own men around him obliged the Count to tolerate—he
will bring with him the proceeds of a new loan, and
I think we have no reason to fear that the expense of
his court will be burdensome, for I believe he is wealthy;
and as Greece is his permanent, and not his temporary
country, her interests will be intimately connected with
his own. You have rightly thought that one part of the
arrangement would be unpleasant—l mean that which
regards the frontiers. The line from Volo to Arta was
so well adapted to ensure tranquillity and the pacification
of Greece, that it is to be regretted that any motives could
have induced the powers to change their original intention
in that respect. The line agreed upon is one which offers
no means of defence ; forty thousand men could not
guarantee it against an attacks whereas the line from
Trot° to Arta would only require small garrisons at the
Thermopylae, at Agraphs, and Macrinoros. All the line
is now held by the Greeks; the inhabitants of those
countries are the warriors of the new State, who will
now become, it is to be feared, robbers and disturbers
the public peace. You know how futile it is to
talk of giving them territories in the Mores, in
exchange for what they lose. What Rumeliot
will become a Ilforeot? I can conceive that the giving
up of Candia would, perhaps, create difficulties ; but
none could exist with regard to Western Greece.
Here are twelve provinces sacrificed to Turkey with-
out a cause—provinces where no Turk ever resided !

The Rome&is are now preparing an address upon
the subject : they will make it temperately and pru-
dently, and I trust there is yet time to correct
the error. I see with pleasure that the Members
of our two Houses are not badly informed with re-
gard to the state of Greece. Prince LZOPOLD has
written to CAPO D'ISTRIAS to state that he has accepted
the throne—that he approves his Government—
' and that he wishes him to send a person in his confi-
dence to inform him of the state of the country. This
must be a politic, rather than a sincere measure. Greece
must not be viewed through the Count's telescope. It is
said that Count VIA no is to be the envoys; and you will
form a correct opinion of the Count's administration by
the difficulty he would have, to make a better choice :
on the one hand, MAVROCORDATO, TRICOU PI, ZAINIS,
LONDOS, DELIJANNIS, IPSILANTI, CANTACUZENO,
CHURCH, ROUFAS the Hydriot, Spezziots, and Ispariots
generally, are in the opposition, and they are upheld by
the discontents of the soldiery:—on the other hand,
METAXA, COLOCOTRONI, SESSINI, and all the pur-
chaseable men of Greece, join the Count and his brothers.
When I say twelve men are the Count's supporters, and
all the rest are his opponents, I speak the full truth. As
to us foreigners, we are all in the opposition ; our sacri-
fices and our good wishes in the cause, justify the free ex-
pression of our opinions. We are foreigners, but not
strangers in Greece. The President has tried lately to in-
veigle the Rumeliots to become regulars. The result of the
last meeting on the subject was a general refusal, and the
erection of an tenathema—or a heap of stones—to which
each man contributed his portion, cursing the Govern-
ment which had deceived, and not protected them. I
spoke afterwards with several of the Chiefs—with BOT-
ZA HIS and GRIVAS among the rest: they are willing to
become regulars, but they will not abandon their national
dress, nor place themselves under the command
of a foreigner, who has not served with them
nor gained their confidence. They all say if City nen
is chosen as the organiser, and if he will follow
the same measures he did in our service, adopt-
ing and not abolishing their costume, providing re-
itpay and rations for them, they will all join him.
isr is a testimony of regard which must indemnify
the General for his long and disinterested sacrifices; and
I should wish it to be made public through the London
papers.

A private letter from Paris, dated Wednesday last,
speaks of the approaching marriage of the Duc de Mon-
tebello (the eldest son of the late Marshal Lannes) with
Miss Jenkinson, a near relative of the Earl of Liverpool.
EDWARD GIBBON WAREFIRLD.Mr. Edward Gib-
bon Wakefield, after being incarcerated for three years
in Newgate, under a sentence of the Court of King's
Bench, upon a conviction at Lancaster Assizes, in 1827,
for the abduction of Miss Turner, an heiress, whom he
carried from that county to France, under circumstances
which obtained such notoriety at the time that cannot
have been forgotten by our readers, was yesterday dig-
charged from prison, and he took up his residence with
his daughter and servants, at Green's Hotsl, Lincolo's-
inn-field..

CITY, TweLve o'CLocc.

We are again deprived this morning of any arrivals of the least
consequence, which causes a great dullness in the City; as well as
the alarming situation of his Majesty, who, according to private in-
formation, cannot survive long.
Contrary to expectation, there has been an improvement in the
Funds, Consols, which left off yesterday at 921 1 fur the Account,
opened at the same price. boon after a purchase was made of one
hundred and fifty thousand Consols for next time at P 3, which
implored the Market to 92j buyers ; but at present they are 9211,
and 921 for next Account

The Forign Market continues to the present hour without a fea.
ture worth observation. Prices are nominal as per yesterday.

HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK.
Although his Majesty's life is despaired of the Funds continue
to improve. Console at present may be quoted at 921 1 for the
Account, and 931 for next Account, but no business of magnitude
is doing at present. There is a very great dearth of information,
and the public are exceedingly anxious for further official informa-
tion from Windsor.

The Foreign Market remains stagnant, not a bargain scarce
going—prices are much the same as the quotations of yesterday.

THE KING.

WINDSOR, FRIDAY.—The KING'S state of health
continues much the same.—Lord FARNBOROUGH ar-
rived at the Castle to make his personal inquiries rela-
tive to the state of the KING'S health, and after having
an interview with the Lord Stewart and his MAJESTY'S
Physicians, proceeded with Mr. WYATTVILLE to in-
spect the progress of the works carrying on at the Cas-
tle. His Lordship then left the Castle on his return to
town.—The medical gentlemen were in constant attend
ance on his MAJESTY throughout the day, and would, as
usual, it was expected, sleep there last night.--Accounts
of the state of the KING'S health were forwarded yester-
day to the Duke of CtAnExcE, at Bushy-park.—The
bulletin was shown at the KING'S Palace, St. James's,
by Lord GLEN LYON, Lord in Waiting, and Sir WIL-
LIAM HOUSTON, Groom in Waiting.

the lady has bestowed, with her hand, a dower of 50,0001.
on the young candidate for Clare.—Morning Register of
Thursday.
We understand that the Lord Chancellor has lately
taken great pains, and been at much expense, to discover
and purchase all the pictures of his late father, Mr. Copley,
and that he is now in possession of nearly all of them that
are known to exist.— Court Journal.

There are open nightly, in thstarish of St. James's, no

The superannuation granted to the men discharged
from the Ordinary on the late reduction does not exceed
81. annually, on the average, per man. We understand

take their provisions on shore.—Plymouth Journal.
The report, some time since circulated, that a Commo-
dore would be appointed to the command at Cove, on the
'expiration of Sir C. Paget's period of service, is without
foundation.

Among the whispers at present pervading the salons
of Paris is one of a very extraordinary nature, relative
to the parentage of two persons, both of whom have
acted a conspicuous part in the drama of life though
in strikingly different stations. One of the per-
sons to whom we allude has long been the idol of
the Parisian comic stage, and has lately been delighting
our London amateurs, at the English Opera-house and
Haymarket. The other plays the most conspicuous role
in the present government of France. It is confidently
asserted and believed that both these persons arc sons of
the present ruler of that country.
It is said that a convention has been signed in
London by the Brazilian Minister and the Envoy of
the yowl.. Queen of Portugal, which stipulates that'
Brazil shall continue to pay to the Regency of Por-
tugal the amount of the dividends of the Portuguese
loan negotiated in London, and also the balance of
the indemnity stipulated for under the Treaty of
Separation. This balance amounts to between 300,0001.
and 400,0001. but it is further stated that a conditional
contract for a loan has been entered into, on the part of
Brazil, for the sum of 2,000,0001. which, however, is
to become a debt of Portugal, in the event of the young
Queen gaining possession of the throne of that country.
These arrangements, we are informed, have been con-
cluded by M. de Mathos on the part of Brazil, and MM.
Mascarenhas and Lima on the part of the Regency. A
gentleman has been dispatched to Rio with the conven-
tion and the contract for the loan, in order to obtain, if
possible, their ratification from the Brazilian Chambers.

One hundred and thirty summonses for church and
poor rates were served upon parishioners of Grantham
last week; which number, it is said, is only a small pro-
portion of the defaulters. —Stamford Mercury.
The religious rite of adult baptism by inunersion took
place in the river Welland, near Barrowden, Rutland, last
Sunday morning. Three men, decently attired in black
gowns, went through the ordinance. About 500 persons
assembled on the occasion, and all conducted themtelves in
a very becoming manner, and appeared much interested'
in the scene. This is the third addition, by baptism, to the
General Baptist Church at Barrowden in the space of a
month.—Stamford Mercury.
We have been informed that a cotton-spinner in the
neighbourhood of Knot-mill has now at work a pair of
mules each of which contains eight hundred and sixteen
spindles. The same master, we are informed, contem-
plates in a short time, to bring to perfection a spinning
mule of one thousand spindles.—Manehester Herald.
