LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, JULY 9, 1827.

Many rumours are in circulation respecting
changes in the Administration, but we are en-
abled to state that no such arrangements have as

ret taken place.

We received last night the Paris Papers of
Friday and the Gazette de France dated Satur-
day'. Their contents are altogether unimportant,
being principally additional particulars relative to
the fall of the Acropolis, and vague rumours
from Spain. We subjoin the price of the Funds
on Friday

Lord GREY is generally considered a very
high man—but though pride and vanity are not
usually prominent features in the character of the
same individual, we trust the Noble Earl has a
sufficient quantity of the latter to set a due value
on the notoriety which he has acquired by the
famous declaration of his intention " to stand by
the order to which he belongs." There is not a
pot-house in the country but will again ring
with his Lordship's name, and even an escape
from oblivion must be consoling to a man whose
acknowledged talents have never been rewarded,
notwithstanding all his efforts, with consideration
of any sort, among the undiscerning upper circles
of this country. The speakers certainly
treated the Noble Lord with very little cere-
mony at the Manchester Meeting last week,
and we should not wondei if they were soon to
call him, not " Lord GREY ," but plain simple
" GREY." That, however, ought not to give

inn annoyance, as men are in the habit of talk.

ing ofIPITT and Fox with as much familiarity,
as Of HUME and LETHBRIDGE, or any other
of Lord GREY'S associates in opposition.

We gave on Saturday Mr. G. W. WOOD'S
speech at the above•named meeting, but we
cannot help recalling the attention of our readers
to the conclusion of it, in which he ably states
the pretensions of the new Administration to the
4..
.
favor and support of the colintiy

" The men now in office," said Mr. WOOD, " were
men eminently qualified to direct measures which would
be beneficial to the country at large. We had seen
the Prime Minister, as Secretary of State, relieve us from
the trammels of the Holy Alliance—give the sanction of
the British Government to the independence of the South
American States—shield with the powerful arms of Bri-
tain our ally Por.tugalenter into negotiations with France
for the evacuation of Spain by her armies—and we had
seen him zealous in the cause of humanity, negotiating
with Portugal and Brazil with a ►iew to putting an end to the
disgraceful traffic in slaves.—(Applause.)—lt was the duty
of the people to support such a Government as this. It
had been, of late, fashionable to throw out sneers against
the Prime Minister, more particularly in meetings, mis-
called Pitt Clubs ; but let it not be supposed that the opi-
nions of a few Cheshire 'Squires were the opinions of the
people of England.—(Hear, hear.)—His Majesty's Mini-
sters had the whole body of the people along with them."

As to the allusion made to the "'meetings,
miscalled Pitt Clubs," we are not sure that it is
quite generous to trample on the fallen. Some
little time for withdrawing their names should
be allowed to those who joined these Clubs
under an erroneous impression of the sentiments
entertained by Mr. Purr on the subject of
Catholic Emancipation. As to old and har-
dened offenders, we shall join cheerfully in ex-
posing the barefaced artifices by which they tre-
panned the young and the innocent ; but some
little time, we repeat it, should be allowed, as
is the custom after a suppressed rebellion, for
the penitent to forsake the ranks of the traitors,
and join the good cause.

The Frankfort Papers to the 2d inst., which
reached us last night, contain an article from the
Allgemeine Zeitung, which states the important
fact that the Divan will not submit to the pro-
positions of the European Governments for the
pacification of Greece, the REIS EFFENDI hav-
ing delivered a Declaration which repeated his
former verbal communications, and referred the
great Powers to the Resolutions of the Con-
gress
of Verona, in which it was declared that
they would not interfere in the affairs of Greece.
The effect of this refusal cannot be calculated
upon, for, if hostilities once begin, it is impos-
sible to say where they may end. We subjoin
some extracts :•'••••••
CONSTA NTINOPLE, JUNE 11. —The endeavour of the
Ministers of Austria and Prussia to induce the Porte to ac-
cept
the proposals of the Ministers of England, France, and
Russia, foe the pacification of Greece, have wholly failed.
The Reis Effendi has at length delivered to all the Ministers
of the Allied Courts a written Note in the form of a Decla-
ration, in which the preceding verbal answers of the Reis
Effendi are repeated, and reference made to the resolutions
of the Congress at Verona, in which it was declared that
these Powers would not interfere in the affairs of Greece.
This Declaration of the Divan is said to have been trans-
mitted to the Russian and English Ambassadors on the
9th ; the Ministers of the other Powers received it, as we
hear, yesterday and to-day. It is worthy of remark, that
the Porte notwithstanding appears inclined to comply with
the demands of Russia respecting the preliminary stipula-
tions of the Treaty of Akerman, which is proved by several
recent facts. This circumstance gave rise to the hope
which has latterly been entertained, that the Porte would

also accede to the proposals in question. It is, however;
not improbable, that the occurrences before Athens, and the
news of the fall of the Acropolis, may have partly contri-
buted to the rejection ; though it was hardly to be expected
that the Divan would agree to the proposals, which, in
many respects, might have been more injurious to the Porte
than a firm resistance.

The equipment and guarding of troops to the theatre of
war in Attica continue, and as a new Firman is said to
have been sent to Asia to accelerate the march of fresh di-
visions of troops to Europe, it is clear that the Portit hopes
to set aside the question of intervention by a prompt sup-
pression of the insurrection. M. de Ribeaupierre has rent
couriers by way of Bucharest and Odessa with the written
rejection of the proposition to St. Petersburgh, to which
all eyes are turned.
VIENNA, JUNE 26.—The Austrian Observer of this
date, says—" The 44th No. of the Universal Gazette of
Greece, of May 16, N. S., which we have received by way
of Corfu, contains the report of the occurrences before
Athens on the 6th of May, which proved so fatal to the
Greeks ; this report perfectly agrees in every essential
point with the accounts of the same events which we gave
in our papers, t n the Bth and 9th June, from the com-
munications of our correspondent at Salamis."

DARMSTADT, JUNE Is.—The Estates of the Grand
Duchy concluded their Session to-day, after having been
assembled nearly ten months. There is reason to regret
that the harmony between the two Chambers was latterly
interrupted. A Report of a Committee sent by the First
Chamber to the Second; on occasion of a new plan of re-
gulation for the judicial proceedings in the subordinate
Courts of Justice, gave rise to very warm debates. „Other
subjects likewise gave occasion to animated discussions, and
the inhabitants of the Rhenish province of Hesse very
much regret that the first Chamber has refused to adopt a
law proposed by the Government, concerning the forced
sales of real property in that province.

Dutch Papers of the 7th, and Hamburgh of
the 4th, have been received this morning, from
which we extract the following

ST. TETERSBUROII, JUNE 23.

If wind and weather prove favourable, our fleet, under
the command of Admiral Siniavin, will sail from Cron-
stadt the day after to-morrow.
The two men of war which arrived here on the 17th
from the Mediterranean have been joined to it under new
•
names.
The Petersburgh Journal of 20th June says, that it is
requisite to rectify an important omission, in its last bul-
letin, of the army in Georgia, in which after the words—
" Kelesch Aga of Courtine"—should have been added—
" Father-in-law to the Sardar of Erivan."

COPENHAGEN, JUNE' SO.

On Sunday last a Russian frigate from Cronstadt anchored
in our roads, It had on board Field-Marshal Prince
Wolchonsky, who landed with his sister, who is in ill
health, and will accompany her first to Amsterdam, where
the husband of the Princess now is, and then to Italy.
Capt. P. S. Torderioskiold, who died lately, was the
last male descendant of the celebrated naval hero of that
name.

CHRISTIANIA, JUNE 25.

We receive the most melancholy account of the ravages
caused in several parishes, by the overflowing of the Glom-
men Ely.

to prolong its Sess.. till the end of July.
HANOVER, JUNE 29.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge go next Monday
to Pyrmont.

The following are extracts from Brussels and
German Papers, received this morning :

BRUSSELS, JULY 5.

A British Cabinet Messenger passed through this city
yesterday afternoon on his way front London, with dis-
patches to Vienna.
A steam engine of one hundred horse power is shortly
expected at Rotterdam : it is from the manufactory of
Messrs. J. Cockerel and Co. at Serang, near Liege, and is
intended for the steam-boat between Rotterdam and
Hamburgh.
JULY 6.—M., Shoolbred, a British Cabinet Messenger,
passed through this city yesterday evening, on his way to
London. He had travelled from Constantinople in 15 days.
The first aviso despatched by the fleet employed in the
Lerring fishery, arrived at Vlaardingen on the 3d of this
month, at 1 in the afternoon : it quitted the fleet on the
25th of June, and brought 16 barrels of herrings, part of
which were presented to his Majesty, the Royal Family, and
the Magistrates. Same were sold at 700 florins per
barrel. The province of Holland alone has this year sent
129 vessels to the fishery. The first English herrings
arrived at Hamburgh on the 25th of June, and those of
East Friesland arrived at Embden on the 28th. •

VIENNA, JUNE 27.
The Austrian Observer extracts from the Universal
Gazette of Greece of the 19th May, the Proclamation of
the National Assembly of Greece, announcing its dissolu-
tion on the completion of its labours, and the removal of
the Committee of Government to Napoli di Romania. In
this Proclamation, signed by George Sisaini, as President,
the Greeks are most urgently recommended to preserve con-
cord and friendship among themselves. After enumerating
the measures that have been decreed, the Proclamation
continues—" But neither good laws, nor the form of Go-
vernment, nor the establishment of Courts of Justice, nor
the organisation of the fleet and the army, nor the co-
operation of the above-mentioned distinguished men
(Capo &Istria, Cochrane, and Church) are sufficient
to deliver us from the impending danger. Above all things
the mutual love of all is required, the will of all, and reci-
procal co-operation, that we may attain the object we have
in view. Greeks ! experience has shown us that we can
conquer if we will ; myriads of Ottomans have disappeared
from the face of our paternal soil, and we are able to de-
stroy thousands of them if we love each other. The
powerful (Sovereigns) of Europe, the generous Philhel-
lenes, do not cease their exertions that we may recover
our rights. After having weathered every storm, we enter
at length the harbour of safety; but we on our aide must
do our duty, and prove our gratitude to our European
benefactors, by making a good use of their noble aid, and
giving them the satisfaction of seeing us a free and
independent nation. Greeks ! the powerful of Eu-
rope are engaged in intervening for our freedom ;
their Ambassadors, lovers of justice, endeavour io
make your oppressors conceive that the land of your
fathers does not belong to him, and that its inhabitants
are not his goods, but rational creatures, formed according
to God's image; but we have now other duties than that
of combatting for our deliverance and independence; while,
therefore, the just Monarchs and the Christian world de-
fend our rights, we must, out of love of humanity, offer
peace, but at the same time combat, in order at length to
obtain our rights, or not to become the miserable victims
of the fury of the Sultan.
" GEORGE SISSINI, President.
"N. SPILIADI, Secretary.

The Universal Gazette of Greece of 19th of May, gives
also short accounts of Ibrahim Paella's expedition to Elio,
but they only come down to the blockade of Castel Tornesi
(which, as we know, has since surrendered.)

We have been favoured with the following in-
teresting letter from an Officer belonging to his
Majesty's ship Adventure, employed on the
Suivey of the Coast of South America, from the
River Plate to Cape Horn :
His Majesty's Surveying Vessel Adventure,
rlonte Video, April2s, 1827.
We have just returned from our first cruise to the south-
ward, after an absence of nearly, six months; and, as a
knowledge of our proceedings may not be wholly uninte-
resting, I will briefly relate the particulars of the voyage.
On the 19th Dec. the ships entered the Straits of Ma-
gellan, having anchored at two places only on the East
Coast of Patagonia, viz. Port St. Elena and near Cape
at neither of which were any traces of natives
observed.Falherrweatin the latter end of December several rather se-
vere gales of wind were experienced, by which our progress
was somewhat retaded, and we did not reach Port Famine
until the 6th Jan. The Beagle having been there com-
pleted with provisions, &c. proceeded to the western extre-
mity of the Straits, and our deckliboat, dignified with the
name of the Hope tender, was hoisted out, and equipped
for service with all expedition. During the three months
we remained at Port Famine, a considerable extent of Coast
was explored by means of the Hope, and she proved to be
admirably adapted for the service. Many deep sounds and
inlets on the Fuegian side (some of which were formai,
