Ilihe not accede to this. proposition, and join ist
raising the Greeks up into an independent Power ?-
1,, de MoNrmonetisv was also induced not to op-
pose, in gencril, the deliverance of a part of Greece
from the immediate dominion of the Turks.
Now, when the parties seemed so agreed, why was •
oot the measure carried into of ? No, the Iloly
Alliance seemed to have said to the Greeks as Faux
did to PAUL--" Go your way for this time; at a
pore convenient season m e will, send for you."
But, to shew how readily these Holy Allies catch
at any excuse for omitting an act of justice, we learn
62t the pretended change of government at Constan-
tinople forms a pretext for such a denial of justice;
and we arc told that "it was to be feared that, in
such a state of things, the Turkish !government might
11,,t be sufficiently stable for negotiations to be car-
ried on with it in a suitable manner," because " the
legitimacy of the Turkish Emperor and his Govern-
ment had not for a moment been called in question
a: the Congress, but assumed as the basis of the fur-
ther negotiations with the Porte. But if a party had
violently seized on the reins of Government, and the
Sultan was become merely its tool, the Government
of the Turks appe tred in it different light," and " an
active interference in the internal affairs of Turkey
might be justified, without too nearly affecting the
principle of the legitimacy of the Turkish Emperor."
We dare say the Sultan, and we are sure the Janis•
sties of Constantinople, would laugh at the idea of
the Holy Allies interfering to defend the cause of
Legitimacy in Turkey, which .is so generally • set
aide by the summary process of the bowstring.—
The GRAND SEIGNIon is not, however, the only So-
vereign who occasionally owes his elevation to the
we of this instrument.

The Prussian Constitution ! We beseech our
Readers not to laugh at our placing such. a title to
any article; but a letter from Berlin, dated January 4,
itbsitively assures us that " the preparatbrylabotirs of
the Commission named by his MAJESTY for digest-
ing the plan of a Constitution for the kingdom of
Prussia, are nearly finished." This said Constitution
will surely be a chef dceitvre of political wisdom : for
it is some ten years that it has been hatching; and
it will, we are sure, be ten more before the Prussians
get any Constitution, worth having, if they wait for
the tardy proceedings of his MAJESTY. •

We have received intelligence from Colombia of
recent date. The Bogota Gazette, of the Bth of
September, contains an account of a meeting between
General SAN MARTIN and the Protector BOLIVAR,
at Guayaquil, on the Vith of July. Bot:tvan.werit
out in person to meet the Protector of Peru, whose
reception was most enthusiastic. The next day they
dined together, and among the toasts was drank--:-
To tire heroes of America, to her Liberators, to
the brave men who have fought in numbet less battles
for the Arne, ican Federation of the Smith, and may
there be one American nation composed of many
families." •

The Province of Guayaquil has been incorporated
with Colombia. The port of Esmeraldas, in the Pro-
vince of Quito, has been orened, and is declared free
from all direct or indirect contributions for ten years;
a toad is also to be opened from the interior to the
port ; and an absolute exemption of all taxes is grant
to all those who may go and settle in the vicinity of
the road, on condition that in the settlements they
mike they build houses and remain there. This,
grant is to last for twenty years.

This forencon we received a Hamburgh Mail, with
Papers to the 11th inst. According to a notice issued
at Stockhulm on the 2d of this month, the passage of
the packets betiveep Y;tad and Stralsund is suspended
on account of the frost. Some new regulations re-
specting smuggling are under discussion at Stock-
Wm, as also a petition for the abolition of the export
deity on tar.

The Courier of Stockholm has been prohibited, and
ceased with the old year. In its last number it gives
a detailed account of the fate of its predecessors un-
der the same title, which were all successively prohi-
bited; and promises the subscribers to make good
that comes to them, partly in money, partly by
means of a Pamphlet, tg On the state of Sweden, and
what it has gained by the Revolution of 1809," which
is the very article that was obliged to be broken off
in the Courier.

An article from Hanover of the 2d inst. says—" It
is thought that the States of the Kingdom will assem.
bk at the beginning of next month. It is reported
that a general survey bf all the estates in the king-
debt will soon be commenced, for the purpose of esta-
411%bieg, in the sequel, a sore basis for the Land Tar."
