DESOLATION OF THE MORE.:

Rilesmere, canal curler.

The following letter has been recjveil iron, a Gentleman who
recently resided in the neighbourhood cf Derizcs

" Pintas, March d, 1834.
" The acceunte I had reeeiv• el of ti,e total destruction of this
place left me unprepeted fer the ut.er desolation v inch I
beheld. The fiercest denuncivions of the prophets of °id have
been fully put in execution. Fire and sw,ml have w.,sted the
whole district ! Not a stone it left standing ! The fig, the pome-
granate, the vine, and the (-urge, that covered the bills and the
beautiful plain, arc literally destroyed, tort and branch. During
the eight years that the 'Pinks were beleaguered in the castle,
they sallied out and tore up even the currant bushes for firing
for their ovens. No part of Greece has been so completely
wasted ; but the inhabitants are returning, and the population
now amounts to about six thousand, and houses are springing up
formed of wooden frame work, filled in with unbunn brick, such
as the children of Israel were forced to make fur the Pharaohs.
There is no capital in the country, either in the shape of money,
public buildings, of private edifices, roads, &c. Every thing is
to be created, and money, the mainspring, is wanting. land of
excellent quality lies uncultivated thr want of means to farm it.
I have had an offer of the fee simple of some, about four ntiles
born the town, at about 31. per acre, which, before the Revolution,
produced an annual rent of nearly as much. People must sell part
to live and be able to cultivate the rest. The President has had a
difficult task to fulfil ; but his talents seem rather to lie in the ma-
neruvres of diplomacy than in governing, for which he wants energy
and decision. But there is little doubt that he has been acting all
along with a view rather to secure the influence of Russia, than to
establish the independence of fins country. We understand that he
is soon to be succeeded by a kink I have seen some of the chiefs of
the popular party, and they are well sattgfied to receive front the
ales a sovereign of their selection."

PROTEST AGAINST THE WITNESS
INDEMNITY BILL, IN THE MATTER OF EAST

•R
E ll'OR D.
I. Because the provisions of the bill pr....suppose laseefii-
clang of evidence, and the consaitient necessity of resorting
to extraordimuy means to procure it, in she natter cf a bill
lately brought up from the Commons, and entitled, "An Act
to prevent Bribary sad Corruption in the Election of Burgesses
to serve in Parliament for the Borough of East Belford,"
whereas the decision of the other House of Parliament, founded,
rims upon tb report of n tribunal appointed by act of Parliament to
try election,. and armed with all necessary powers for that purpose ;
and, secondly, upon the result of their own inquiries, raises a rea-
sonable prentaption, = least, that pounds sufficimt to enable us to
come to a sound determination on the legislative measure before the
house may be obtained without a special suspension of the ordinary
mks of evidence, and an montaleus purchase of troth by an eaten.

2. Because the !mourn to such a preliminary act of power foe the
is of pocanng evidence implies (and the preamble directly
awes), before any petition has been presented to this house against
littlest Rafted B;11, that an examination of witnesses at the bar
kinheolutely necessary ; and thereby sanctions a notion, in my opi.
visa, erroneous, mischievous, and unconstitutional—namely, that
he bill that has lately passed the House of Commons, and all
gatipt measures of • like nature, are bills of pains and penalties,
pentabs of a judicial character, and requiring
