LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 13, 1327.

It was with heartfelt satisfaction that we an-
nounced yesterday to our readers, in a Second
Edition, that a new writ had been moved for
Newport, in consequence of Mr. CANNING'S
aPP°inltnelll to the Office of First Lord of the

- - -
Treasury. The enthusiastic reception of,(he in-
telligence by the House of Commons, must
add even to the gratification of reaching the
summit of human ambition, as the direc-
tion of the energies and the power of in-
fluencing the destinies of this great Empire

may be justly called. But it was not England
alone that was interested in the issue of the con-
test for ascendency between the rival parties in
this country. It was of vital importance to civi-
lized Europe, and one half of the continent of
America must view it in the same light. Ready

to assist the injured, whether clothed in -the
robes of Royalty, .or disfigured by the hand of
the oppressor, England has long been the
" guardian angel of the human race." But
remove from the direction of her Councils the
intelligent and the enlightened, and substitute
the admirers of abuse when obscured by the
mist of ages—and she will soon turn a deaf ear
to the oppression of a people, and will be unable,
if inclined, to vindicate the wrongs of Monarchs.
The friends of illiberality have already com-

trienced predictions as to the term of Mr. CA N*
Wing's continuance in office. Some fix a month,
arid others are kind enough to allow him three
tionthg, but they are, without an exception,
• quite clear that his Administration cannot en-
dure beyond the first meeting of Parliament, in
November or December. Indeed, they anti-
qpate the necessity of an early meeting to enable
them to come into office, and substitute their
brilliant talents in the room of Mr. CANN I NG'S,
Whose incompetency will, by that time, be fully
ascertained. But we may also indulge ourselves
in anticipations of the future far more likely to be
realised, and we can fancy the country going on
Perfectly well for the next century, without their
assistance, and even in spite of their opposition
advancing majestically and steadily to the pin-
nacle of national glory and individual happiness.

The French Papers of Tuesday, and the
' - Etoile, dated Wednesday, have been received.
If we are to believe the Etoile, the negociations
European Ambassadors with
carried on by the
the Porte still continue, but with occasional
gleams of angry feeling, on the part of the REIS
•I'itNDl, and corresponding threats on the
Part of the Ambassadors, who seem determined
t° effect a mediation in favour -of the Greeks.
In fact, the business has been so long de-
I -
'aYed artificeone
through on the hand, and
lulcewarmness on the other, that little hopes
(3(' a Successful adjustment can be entertained
until the Greeks themselves are enabled to
Place their independence on such a footing
all to render the intervention of friends use-
less or nearlyvery well
so. Negotiation is all .
where the omething
respective parties are on s :„
like equal terms, but there can be no sincere
pe,e.e between rebels and those who assert do-
minion over them--no compromise between the
tyrant and his slave. The Turks and Greeks
are exactly in this predicament and however de-
sirable it is that Greece '
should be emancipated,
n
and take her proud station among , among the assembly
of nations by the siue of her jealous oppressor,
yet nothing, us can be so odio in the ' eye of the
.
GRAND SULTAN, as to behold' his former vas-
sal elevated to his own dignity. / •
In private life,
the Same principle, however illiberal, still holds
good--the servant who rises to the rank of his
"'meter, whether meritoriously or not, is con_
t 41ered an upstart. So with Greece--she can
never hope to be really free, but by
virtue of her
?wit internal energies, wielding the patriot sword
it
11 aveli
ngsh-er wrongs, and vindicating her tin_
d oubte right to be free—and to act for herself.
lier friends may, indeed, clothe her in foreign
armour, and proffer their assistance ; but unless
she possesses the native spirit to seek the em-
battled field, and there "do or (air, she is not
worthy to be free— dwill not triumph.
