sons in
.good society will be found to possess
tastes- sufficiently vitiated to swallow its venom-
ous trash ; and like the scorpion, which. stings
itself to death, it will expire from its own poison.
To refute, therefore, any of the assertions ge-
nerated by such a reptile, is commonly an mine-
cessary task, and as it is loathsome to come in
contact with any species of vermin, we had de-
termined never again to soil our pages by a notice
of this contemptible Paper. We found our-
selves, however, compelled to break . our deter-
mination, for the purpose of contradicting an
atrocious calnmny of which it was guilty a few
days ago, in insinuating that Mr. CANNING had
died an Atheist ; and we did so, because it was
important, to the memory of that great man,
and to society at large, that so foul a calumny
should not pass uncontradicted, however obscure
and infamous the source was from whence it
Originated. We then, by the statement of a
single fact--4ithout violating the privacy of the
death-bed 'scene—satisfactorily proved that our
departed Minister was animated with Christian
Faith and Hope, in his dying hour ; and our
.cotemporary, the Courier, Likewise proved by
other facts, the falsehood of the base assertion
made of the contrary. And how doeS the vile
traducer receive those refutations of his cold
blooded calumny ? Instead of gladly admitting
the statement that a belief in Christ, and a hope
in the mercy of God through his mediation, sup-
ported the patient through his bodily sufferings,
and recalling with joy the infamous insinuations
he had made, he coldly declares that he knows
nothing, and pretends not to know any thing of
Ur. CANNING'S dying sentiments ; repeating at
the same time with assassin-like malevolence,
that the reports of the three last days of the
Right Honourable Gentleman's life must raise
an impression that he died without religion,"—
thus admitting his utter ignorance of Mr. CAN-
NING's sentiments—rejecting the evidence given
of them—and then basely repeating the assertion
before made.
Is it 'not, we would ask, unworthy of an Eng-
..

Tishman thus to falsify and traduce the character

of one, now no more ? Can such infamous con-
- 'Awl meet With one approving voice ? And,
ought not a Paper which proves itself thus
mated by the spirit of a demon, to be expelled
from the house of every man who values truth
and Christian charity, as principles which
ought to influence public Journalists beyond all
others of mankind?

Montreal Papers to the 12th Of July have
been received, from which we make the following
extract :-
Q1.77.8EC, Jury 7.—On Thursday his Excellency the
Governor-in-Chief inspected the '79th Cameron. Highlanders
on the Plailia of Abraham. This distinguished corps made
a most imposing appearance, and went through the various
evolutions usually performed at a Review, in a manner highly
creditable to themselves, and which we learn obtained the
fullest approbation of the Commander of the Forces.
On Wednesday, his Excellency inspected the 76th Regi-
ment, under Major Stephenson, and was pleased to express
hie entire approbation of that neat and soldicrlike corps.
A General Order of Militia, dated the sth of July, has
been issued, by direction of the Governor, by the Adjutant-
General of Militia, directing the officers of different batta-
lions of militia, without further orders, to fix the days on
which the companies of their respective battalions are to
eneet according to law. The Governor expresses his satis-
faction at the ready obedience which has been shown in all
l4arts of the. Provinces, to the revived ordinance for regu-
' lating tbilt

We have received this morning Frankfort
Papers and the Allgemeine Zeitung, both of the
7th instant, of which the following are extracts ;
we have no room for comment :

cONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 10.

The Ministers of the Courts of England, Russia, and
France, are now in expectation of further instructions with
respect to the late declaration of the Porte, declining their
intervention. Meantime M. de Ribeaupierre, having re-
plied by a note to the assertion made by the Porte in the
declaration that the proposals for a pacification were con-
trary to the Convention of Akermann, the Reis Effendi has
intimated to him that the Divan was greatly surprised that
M. de Ribeaupierre had made this protest public. M. de
Ribeaupierre replied, , that the Porte had first set the
example, by publishing its declaration.
It appears, from various circumstances, that the Divan
is already informed that the Courts of London, Paris, and
Petersburgh, will shortly take measures to enforce their in-
tervention.

There seems to be no notion of the departure of the Am-
bassadors, because the lady of M. de Ribeaupierre is just
arrived. It is affirmed that, at the conference at St.
Peteisburgli, in April, 1826, it was agreed that, in case of
extremity, the Ambassadors should withdraw ; but Eng-
land and France, fearing the fermentation which might en-
sue in the Ttnitish capital might prove dangerous to the
Christians, are said to have subsequently declared against
the measure.

VIENNA, AUG:2.
The Austrian Observer quotes from the Impartial
Observer accounts from Tino, of the ISth of June, which
agree in all essential particulars with those from Smyrna,
which we gave two days ago. The surrender of the Acro-
- polis has greatly discouraged the Greeks. The confusion is
greater than ever. A report has been spread that the
' Greek Government, incensed at the capitulation, have le-
solved to bring the chief officers, and even Fabvier, before
a court martial • but this seem, wholly unfounded. It is
certain that those officers who so vehemently, one after
the other, applied to Messrs. De Rigny, Le Blanc, and
Cornea, to intercede with the Seraskier, and requested
them to obtain a capitulation for them, are now loudest in
their outcries against it. Wherever they go they even ma-
liciously give out that they are deceived ; that the danger
in which they were was represented to them in too strong a
light ; that the lose of the Greeks, in the affair of the 6th
of May, was exaggerated, and the force of the Turks repre-
sented_r_ as much greater than it really was. Such are the
Europeans
eeks
to help them; While shut up in the Acropolis they begged the
but now they have escaped the
danger they speak in another tone ; and, to justify them-
selves in the eyes of their countrymen, lay the blame on
their benc:actors.
The order and strict.police which have begun to prevail
in Candia since the Seraskier, Soloman Aga, has had the
command of that island, has induced a number of Candiots
to leave the island and gce to the Archipelago., where they
have caused much confusion in several islands.
(Here follow some accounts. of their conduct in Naxis
and Milo, coinciding with those already given.)
•
Tino has not yet had occasion to complain of them ; pro-
bably they are sensible that our palicari would not let them
have their own way. Two vessels, laden with ammunition
and provisions, have arrived at Hydra, as a present from
the American Philhellenic Committee.
The new Greek Government is daily expected at Na-
poli. where anarchy is at its height : the garrison and the
inhabitants are every moment on the point of corning to
blows with each other; the Suliots, who are in possession
of Fort Palamidi, exercise tyrannical authority over the
unfortunate town, where provisions are, however, in abun-
dance. Colocotroni is still at Argos, intriguing instead of
fighting, and costriving plans to establish himself in Na_
Poll, in order to give law to the whole of the Morea,
where family
connections, and above all, his riches, give
him a real preponderance. But few villages in the Pelo-
• ponnesus have submitted to Ibrahim ; the unfortunate in-
habitants of the
Peninsula have for the most part retreated
to inaccessible places in steep
mountains, or in caverns,
like the beasts of the field, where they
are compelled by
Cassatanis or Klephts to remain by threats of being treated
. • by them as enemies.
