The Gazette of last night announces the appoint-
ment of Mr. CANNING to the office of Secretary of
State for Foreign Affairs; and he has alteady trans-
acted business in Downing-street. The Duke of
' WELLINGTON has also left town for Vienna, so that
all conjectures on these two points are terminated;
not so, however, as to the. part which the British
Envoy will sustain at the approaching Congress.
Firmly p,e;suaded, as we are, that the meetittg of
the Holy Alliance Junto is but to renew the compact
they haveinade, or to plot new measures against the,
growth of liberal opinions, in whatever country they
may manifest themselves, we conceive the duty of
out. Representative as a very ktraight.forward- one—
; that of at once entering a solemn protest against all
direct or indirect interference with the internal affairs
of foreign States; and then, if that fails 'of diverting
the other parties from their purpose, he has only to',
put that protest on record, and quit the Congress.
Such an act, while it would go far towards dis-
concerting the projects of Austtia, Russia, and Prus-
sia, would vindicate this country in the eyes of the
world, and prove, that while we strictly maintained
c r own liberties, we respected those of other countries.-
It has been said that the Congress will not ioterfere
in the affairs of Spain and Portugal. We shall rejoice
to find that the Holy Alliance has been seared from
a project which formed the principal object of its
members assembling at Vienna: we have, however,
some doubts of this, and scarcely think that the Em-
perors of RUSSIA and Ausrata will be so easily
frightened flout a favourite object, though, if Eng-
land assume but a decisive tone, Spain and Portugal
will not be cursed by their interference for the pre.
sent; and even Lows XVIII. may outlive a few more
conspiracies, although his Ministers are taking all
imaginable pains to excite them. Be this as it may,
the members of the Congress are rapidly assembling,
and we shell soon be able to " draw the curtain and
skew the picture."

The French Pipers of Sunday have reached us.—
An article from Vienna, noticing the preparations for
the approaching Congress, says—" As soon as the
Duke of WELLINGTON and Viscount Mon-rmoanxcv
arrive, the delegates of the five great Powers will
turn their attention, it is said, to the drawing up of
a general plan for the deliberations of the Congress,
which will be presented to the Emperor ALEXANDER,
who is expected to arrive at Vienna on the 7th. It is
believed that the residence of this Sovereign will be
short. He has already requested that neither fetes
nor ceremonies may mark his arrival at Vienna.—
About the middle of September the two EMPERORS
will proceed to Italy ; but the Congress of Verona
will not commence befoie the beginning of October.
Prince dETTERNICH will, as at the last Congress of
Aix-la-Chapelle, exercise the functions of President
of the Ministerial conferences."

The Journal des Debate has a very gloomy article
on the affairs of
,the Greeks, and despairing of their
emancipation, recommends to Christian Europe to
afford them an asyJum. " Christian Europe," says
the Editor, should procure fora Christian nation
the enjoyment of those civil and religious rights which
no Government refuses to its own subjects without
a breach of the social tie, and the destruction of its
own laws. If some Cantons of Greece could be piked
under the administration of Archbishops and Muni-
cipal Councils as they partly were before the insur-
rection ; if the Turks were excluded from these pri-
vileged Cantons as they were in Wallachia and Mol-
davia; and if these arrangements were guaranteed
by all the Christian Powers, the Ottoman Porte would
gain a certain trgntte, a source Or riches, and the 4
Greeks would find a teartarrrefage until the time
when, better bretight:sti end, liettexprgsaleedo they
would becemtriemansedfe6tharOleit libeetyi. The
