TURIN, OCTOBER 12.

The Curfu Gazette announces the departure of Sir
Frederick Adam, Lord lligh Commissioner, for the
Southern IslAn.is ; and more recent letters from the
same city, state that he has been at Napoli di Romania,

to induce the Greek Government to revoke the mani-
festo issued by it against the Christian Powers, and
that it was immediately revoked. When these letters
came away, the Lord High Commissioner had re•
turned to Corfu.— Piethnositese Gazette, Oct. 12.

Nothing gives ow mote pleasure than to see national
prejudices giving way to feelings of a friendly and ge-
nerous nature. A few years ago our modern Aristarchi
would not allow America any claim to Literature, and
even now there are politicians who sneer at the institutions
and power of the United States. Nothing can be more
impolitic or unjust, since there is a natural and indisso-
luble bond of union between England and North Ame-
rica, which, though it may be interrupted, can never
be wholly broken off. We have been led to these re-
marks by the following liberal observations on this
country, which appeared in a recent number of The
New York Commercial Advertiser :

" ENGLAND.—We were looking the other day at the
map of Europe, and glancing our eye along the coast
of that mighty continent, it rested on the little spot
which Englishmen in their pride and security have
denominated the gi fast-anchoted Isle." A few reflec-
tions, like the gliuming streaks of the morning, shot
through our minds, and we looked in astonishment and
admiration upon the little Isle, sc, insignificant in itself,
and yet so large in the scale of nations. Our nation has
been accustomed to frown upon Englishmen, and to
detest their Government, and we do now some part of
it. But the times of this ignorance and this enmity
have passed away, and left the mind free to take in and
to entertain without jealousy and without reproach the
idea 01 the great resources, the extensive influence,
physical, moral, and intellectual, which have secured
everlasting fame to England and to Englishmen. In
contemplating the wonders embodied in the character
of the people, we overlook the dark spots in their his-
tory, and forget the errors and crimes of their Govern-
ment. We only see that England is our elder born—

that her people speak the same language, profess the
same faith, are governed by the same laws, and have
the same interest ih the support and predominance of
free institutions and of civil liberty. Look at her, girt
within a little compass by the stormy ocean ; in size to
the nations of the Continent like a drop in the bucket ;
in climate, unpropitious; in soil, unfruitful; and yet
her name is known, respected. and has its influence
wherever cultivated men have penetrated the seas or the
earth. There is a mental and moral influence, no less
than physical, and, indeed, were it the latter only, the
passage of a few ages would gradually obliterate her
fame, instead of hallowing and adding to it. It is a
mental superiority, it is the power of 'atm, it is the
observation of the principles of eternal truth, which,
more eminently than temporal power or extent of do-
minion, give prosperity to a nation and endless glory
to her name."

The following extract of a letter written by the
Agent to liloyd's at Cowes, contains some interesting
particulars relative to the Pirates on the coast of Cuba'
Who are represented as worse than the Algerines:

66 COWVO, Ont.22.—The Spring, (little), whic% vessel took out

the Eit.teoperor 'turbid., has arrived here front the Havamtah, iss4 days. Captain Quelch reports, that his ship was ready to wit
on the 41St of August, but was prevented until his Majestys
schooner Speedwell /eve him convoy on the 58th, front the reyttex
of Captain Graham, of his Majesty's ship Icarus. He stated that
it would be unsafe, on account of the numerous pirates on the
coast ; also that two piratical vessels, with 40 men each, had sailed
that night to intercept the icarus's boat. with only 40 men, *at
was sent out to destroy a pirate laying at Cayo Blanca, when G„,
gallant seamen came so suddenly on the pirate, that thcy were
obliged to jump overboard ; and being so near the shore, they ag
escaped except five men, who were instantly shot by the boat's cren.
They took possession of the piratical schooner, with ten Of tWvIVt
prizes belonging to her. Captain Quelch reports that Cyuaia
Graham is deserving of great praise for his indefatigable 'unit', „,
destroying the pirates, as the Spanish government and the Adm.t4l
refused to give any assistance. The Island of Cuba is now uor.e
than the Algerine coast."

ANECDOTE OP HIS MAJESTY.—Dowager Lady
the widow of an Irish Viscount, and nearly allied to a

Having received her usual stipend she returned to
Brighton, but on her arrival at home, found that the
whole of it, amounting to about 1001. had been lost by
her. His Maicyre being at the Pavilion, hearing of the
circumstance, commiserated her loss, which, from her
limited income, was a serious one, and instantly or-
dered a 1001. tsk-note to be inclosed in an envelope,
and left at the Dowager's house, with a strict injunction
not to disclose the source front which it came ; and it
was not until some time afterwards that it was accident-
ally discovered that the Gentleman who left it was la
the service of the ICINGI.
