11IISSOLONGM, JANUARY 23, (11.)

No. 3, of .3d April, contains the address of the Com-
mittee formed at Cambridge, to undertake a subscrip-
tion for the Greeks. Also a letter from Lord Byron,
dated from Cephalonia, 30th November last year, to
the Greek Guyer nment, in which, alluding to the re-
ports of discussions among the Greeks, he expresses a
hope that they are false or exaggerated ; he says he
must frankly confess, that unless order and union are
consolidated, all hopes of a loan, and of any succour
which Greece might expect from foreigners, will be
suspended and checked ; and what is more, the great
Powers of Europe, none of which was an enemy to
Greece, and seemed inclined to favour the establishment
of an independent Power in Greece, will be persuaded
that the Greeks are unfit to govern themselves, and will
take some measures to put an end to your disorders,
which will destroy at once all your hopes. " Allow
me to add," he says, " once for all, I desire the welfare
of Greece and nothing else. I will do my utmost to
secure it, but I will never consent that the public, or in-
dividuals in England, shall be deceived with respect to
the real state of Greece."

la a letter to Prince Nlaurocordato, then returned to

Hydra, in cons.2quence of these dissensions, be expresses
his tegrct at them, and says, " Greece has now three
stays to chose, to reconquer its liberty—to become a de-
pendent on the SJrereigns of Europe—or to be again
a Turkish Province. There is no alternative but be-
tween these three; but civil war seems to lead only to
the two last. If you envy the fate of Wallachia or the
Crimea, you may have it tomorrow ; if that of Italy,
the day after to-morrow; but if Greece will be one,
free and independent, she must decide now, or it will
he too late."

No. 5, of April 17, coltair.s a refutation of two ar.

tides in the Jortuarl of Frankrort, one stating that a
Po•!m by Lord Byron, called The Triumph of Hellas
at Nissolonghi, was circulated in the lonian Islands;
the other, that public rejoicings bad been made at Mis-
solonghi on the death of Sir Thomas Maitland. To

the first, it says " we know not if any such poem in
Greek is circulated as a translation from Lord Byron,
but we arc author ised to affirm, that Lord Byton nevet
wrote any such poem ; and that for more than nine
months, that since he left Genoa for Greece, the
Noble Llrd has not w:itte a any poetical composition
whatever.
" With respect to ihe second article, so vile a sentiment
never entered the nil nds of the Greeks. If they suffet ed
by the conduct of the Lord High Commissioner at the
beginning of their ghnious straggle, they acknowledge
the difficulty an.] delicate situation in which he was
placed, and they confess that the policy of the British
Cabinet having changed in the last year, his conduct
became much more lay° urable to the Greek cause.
" Since some pe rs.,ns are pleased, whether through
ignorance or worse reasons, to d e claim against the
Government of the late Sir 'F. Maitland, we are
authorised by a persona of distinction, who went to the
lonian Islands strongly prejudiced against him, to bear
witness that these accusations were ill-founded—that
under his auspices the lonian Islands were more flou-
rishing than many other countries celebrated for their
prosperity—and that perhaps that mode of govern-
ment was one the most suitable to the inhabitants of
those islands."

This morning we received the Etoile of Wednesday,
by Express. It contains no political intelligence of im-
portance. On Tuesday the KING, who is still at St•
Cloud, heard Mass in his apartments, transacted business
with M. de VILLELE, and then took an airing. The
French Journalists still amuse themselves in speculating
on the stahilEy or fill of M. de VILLELE'S power.

PARIS, Joon 29.—French Reines. 102 f. 70c.-85f. 80c. For the
end of the month, 1021. 75c.

We are glad to learn, by letters from Pat, received
by Express, that Mr. Itornsamn has recovered the
whole of the Bills of which he had been defrauded, and
that they are now, to the amount of 10,0001. in the pos-
session of his brother, at Pais. The celerity of the Ex-
press from London to Paris, announcing the fraud, and
the activity of the Fiend: police, enabled Mr. ROTHS-
CHILD to gain possession of his property : he has also
caused to be seized the Neapolitan Scrip which was
due to him in consequence of the trial in London against
the Frenchman, who attempted to cheat him of the bills
for the double purpose of fraud and revenge. The cheat
has been allowed to escape, and Mr. ROTHSCHILD does
not mean to pursue him.

Frankfort Papers to the 24th ult. have been received.

tiary from the King of Naples, to the Court of Den-
mark ; General Benckcndorff, Russian Plenipotentiary
at the Court of Baden ; Count Woronzow, Russian
Minister at Munich ; and Baron Wetterstedt, Secretary
to the King of Sweden. It is thought that Prince
Esterhazy will go as Ambassador from this Court to
Paris, and that he will be succeeded at London by
Count Appony.

The New York packet, which sailed on the 9th of
June, has arrived at Liverpool; the letters and papers
will be up tonight.

It is confidently asserted, thlt Mr. Mont ER, the furrms
distinguished Representative of his Britannic MA3VSTT at the Court
of Persia, will, in a few days, proceed on a special mission to Mexico,
and that a frigate has been ordered for his conveyance. It is im-
pmsible to doubt, that the great resources of Mexico, and tile
Immense mart which her population and her wealth open to di,:
consumption of British labour, are fully appreciated by the
portion of the British Cabinet, for the appointment of a Diplo-
matist CO eminent as Mr. Montan, is a sufficient proof of the
Igraine which is placed on the friendship and alliance of regenerate:!

HOLYROOD PALACE, EDINSURGH.-411 contemplation
of the operations at Holyrood Palace commencing this week, the
furniture and pictures have been removed from the Earl of Breadal-
bane's lodgings to another part of the house. The workmen arc to
begin by taking down the side wall at the south-west corner, where
the Noble Lord's apartments are situated ; and this, we understand,
on account of its numerous vents, is to be rebuilt from the foundation.
The interior of the palace is to be restored to as nearly its original
' state as may be consistent with modern ideas of comfort and appro-
priate elegance. With this view, all the partitions by which the
latter inhabitants have thought proper to subdivide the once noble
acid extensive apartments, are to be cleared away.
We understand that the vessel which brings home the
body of Lord Bram, has just arrived at one of the out-ports, and
his remains will be immediately conveyed to town with the so-
lemnities due to his rank and talents.
The Morning Chronide, after stating that General
BRAVO, the Supreme Director of Mexico' had issued orders to
arrest all persons suspected of robbery, and to bring them before
Military Courts for judgment, without waiting for the too state
process of civil trial, adds " These are the sure and only means for
protecting the property of individuals in young States, for the
energies of the great, virtuous, and determined characters are cer-
tain proofs of wholesome freedom." A singular avowal this for ;
journal that is so constant in its attack; on military tribunals.
One of the French Papers last received contains die
translation of a document, purporting to be an addresi
to the Grand Sultan from the four Deputies of the Mo:r
davian Boyards, in which they tell him that his " cic
mency in favour of his people is infinite, and that
sweetest occupation of their lives is to offer up the.
prayers to Heaven for his safety and prosperity."
