TO HIS GRACE THE DOKE OF WET.T.INGTON.

Hall-place, May 4, 1827.
My dear Doke,—Tly a communicat►on I received from
my solicitor last night, I find that a proposal has absolutely
been carried in before the Master in Chancery, by which
your Grace and Colonel Windsor are to have the (lire and
education of my boys, and the Misses Long that of my
gill, with the maintenance to be paid to your. Grace of
1,200/. per annum, and to the Misses. Long 5001. per
annum ; and in this, their proposal is stated to be the plan
for their education, with the consent and sanction of your
Grace; and that you have agreed, at the instigation of
the Misses Long, to take upon yourself this appointment.
After what has passed between your Grace and me, I of
course cannot bring myself to believe this to be true;--I
therefore once more entreat of your Grace to give me upon
this subject that information which I have so frequently
sought fur, in order that I may regulate my conduct.
I am, &c. &e.
W. L. WELLESLEY.

Note. —When I received intimation of the intention of
the Misses Long, I applied; as my letters show, to Lord
and Lady Maryhorough to become the guardians of my
children, . to " prevent family disclosnres." My honour,
and my duty towards my children, make it necessary that
I should oppose the nominatibn of the Duke of Wellington
and the Misses Long to be their guardians, or in any way
to interfere with their education, with my assent. Ipray
God that I may not be driven to close this tragedy, by

declaring, upon oath, that which will satisfy all manUmi,
that my objections to the wishesilof the Misses Long are
founded upon reasons the validity of which to parent
dare dispute.

PARIS, JUL'S' 11.—The Journal des Debah and the
Constitutionnel published, yesterday, .the pretended basis
of a Treaty between two great Powers, respecting the
affairs of the Peninsula. We can .assure our rc4ders, that,
it was a pure intention on their parr.
An English Journal has been ill-informed in announcing
that an engagement had taken place betweeit the French
fleet and that of Algiers.
We In not know where the Quotidienne got the news
of the approaching Congress at Munich. • -

TREATY RELATIVE TO GREECE.

PARIS, JULY 16.-We shall reserve most of our obser-
vations on this subject to another period, and shall now
confine ourselves to some general remarks. We think that
this Treaty will not entirely answer the expectations of the
friends of Greece, and particularly that it does not apply a
sufficient efficacious remedy to its unhappy situation, and
to the dangers which threaten it. We are afraid that much
precious blood will be shed, and that irreparable disasters
will ensue before the intervention has produced its effects.
It must be expected, that as soon as the knowledge of the
Treaty shall reach Constantinople, positive orders will be
transmitted to Ibrahim- and Redschid Paella, to mite and
strike a decisive. blow. Negotiations with the Turks do not
impede their vengeance, and often serve to give it energy
and atrocity. We suppose that thesPorte would have at-
tamed its object better had a truce been demanded without
any delay, and had the resolution of the three Powers to put
an
.end to the calamities of war been notified to the Divan.
We are not aware what reasons could have been urged
against such a course of proceeding. By firmness and de-
cision alone can we restrain a fanatic and barbarous people,
who sport with the most solemn treaties when it is for
their interest. •

We will not leave the subject without remarking on the
influence of general opinion on Governments, and the pro-
gress it has made since the awakening of Greece. At the
Congress of Verona tle Greek cause had few defenders;
European policy only saw with regret a Christian people
subjected to the most humiliating servitude: throw off the
illegitimate yoke, and take lip arms to raise themselves to
independence, and to elevate their religion to freedom.—
The contest, however, was begun, and universal sympathy
was linked to the unshaken courage and heroic exploits of
the Greeks; Europe was roused, and succours of all de-
scriptions were sent to them. The King. of Bavaria was
among the number of subscribers, and encouraged the
enthusiasm of his subjects. Mere citizens, such as M.
Eynard and Colonel Fabvier, devoted their lives to the
Greeks. Now European opinion has triumphed, and the
Governments are disposed to second it. Let us pray that
their measures may not he too late, and that something
more than ashes and ruins may be found in Greece,'when
the Standard of the Creez.s shall again wave on the citadel
of Athens.
