GERMAN PAPERS.

A`iPONA, DEC. 24.—The intention of the three
Powers to restrict the limits of Greece, or the 11florea
and the Cyclades, has disappointed many hopes, and
in particular, has disagreeably surprised the friends of
Greece, who but a few months since felt conv►nced
that Athens with its glorious reminiscences would en-
hance the splendour of New Greece. Important poli-
tical considerations seem to have guided the councils
of the C►binets, though it is affirmed that die French
Court has declared itself in favour of the greatest
practicable enlargement of the Greek bounda►ies,
and has been induced only by the representa-

tions of England to assent to the more contract-
ed limits of the new State. The relative diminution
of the internal strength of the new State, pro-
portion as its boundaries should be extended, its
greater vulnerability, if it had an extensive land
frontier difficult to be defended, the jealousy of the
Porte and its aversion to the intervention of the
Foreign Powers, were the arguments which the
English Cabinet is said to have adduced, in order
to shew the impossibility of obtaining from the Porte
the wished-for assent to the final pacification of
Greece, according to the meaning of the treaty of
6th July. Considering that the independence of
the Morea and the Cyclades does now in fact
exist, England expects the assent of the Porte
with more probability. It is said also, that
the treaty of 6th July, in the spirit of which
the French Cabinet professed to act, has been op-
posed to the proposals of France,on the ground that
its stipulations regarded only the putting estop to the
shedding of blood and the pacification of the revolted
provinces; and that consequently the protection of
the Powers could be extended only to the latter,
arid give them secwrity. Many objections might be
made to this interpretation of the treaty. However,
the assertion of Mr. Stratford Canning himself, that
Greeks and Turks can no more live peaceably to-
gether on the same spot, gives the Greeks the hope
of experiencing a more rapid developement of their
strength, and of becoming a nation in the true sense
of the word; for if it is beceme impossible for Turks
and Greeks to live together, the Turks, who live
among the Greeks, must have a place assigned them
to which they have to repair to temain at peace. The
increase of the Christian population in the fertile
provinces of the Morea, and which are so admirably
situated for commerce and navigation, must power-

fully contribute to the improvement of the Greeks
and procure them au honourable place among the
States of Europe. The Powers have ,therefore, in
some measure, done the Greeks a service, by their
resolution not to extend the boundaries of Greece,
provided that the Greeks remaining in the Turkish
territories have the right secured to them of remov-
ing, with their families, without any hindrance, and
that measures are taken to guarantee the Greeks
against further oppression by the Turks.

CONsTANTINOPLU, DEC. B.—We are still without
official intelligence from the army of the Grand Vizier;
but it is affirmed that he has been prevented from
doing any thing by the dreadful winter weather.
According to accounts from Bourgas, several
Russian ships, laden with military stores, had been
driven on the coast, and had perished with their
crews. HaluAsy Effendi, it is said, has made a re-
port to the Sultan on this subject, with the addition
that the Turkish cannon taken in Varna, which
were to be distributed as trophies among all the
Russian provinces, were lost on this occasion.
The Sultan immediately communicated this news
to the Mufti, who endeavour to represent this cir-

cumstance as a presage of future ♦ictories. It is na-
tural that the fanaticism of the Mussultnen should be
inflamed by all this. We have received the news
from Poros that the Ambassadors of the three
Powers are going to Malta, and thence to Napoli,
to continue the negociations respecting Greece.
BERLIN, DEC. 29.—According to accounts from
St. Petereburgh, which arc worthy of credit, it
is the constant and earnest desire of the Emperor
for peace, but only such a peace as may be con-
formable to his previous declarations. The war
is generally popular in Russia and the resources
are greater than might be supposed. The cam-
paign WIN in fact extremely severe and fatiguing,
vet the details on the whole were such as to in-
crease the zeal and self-confidence of the army.
It is f;rther affirmed, that the sentiments of the Em-
peror in the affairs of Portugal are in favour of the
young Queen Donna Maria da Gloria, and that the
Emperor's sentimentsto Sweden, respecting the title
of Prince Gustavus, will probatdy be such as en-
tirely to satisfy the wishes and the expectations of
the King o Sweden.

C RIT SlllO N OF TALENT.--A Oreet-sweeper,
the other day, hearing some praises bestowed orrthe clean
state of one of ti-,e crossings at which a brother of the same
craft officiated, somewhat petulantly observed, .‘ Wen,
now, I don't think him any such great shakes after all.—
Ile can get through common strait-forward jobs well
enough, bat it is'nt them whit tells a man's abilities. Just
put him to a bit of fancy ; let him try to sweep
round the posts, and see bow he'll manage that !"—Nunts
