great lexicographer, the authority. of a'Poet, Damyrbk
who, in his Pierce Gavesion, thus forcibly charac-

terizes it: •
" Thou kingdom's corrosive, home-begottett Hate;
In any limits never that wast bounded;
When didst thou yet seize upon any State,
By thee that was not utterly confounded ?
How many empires be there that do Inc thee ;
Happy the world was, till too well it knew thee !"

The Morning Cluoniele.lias a silly letter from its Cor-
respondent in Paris, stating, that in revenge for this'
country recognizing the independence of the South
American States, the Holy Alliance has determined on
dismembering Spain and occupying Portugal ! It is
related of JAMES I. that when a boy he was whipt by
proxy, but we never heard of the principle being ex-
tended to the punishment of States. In pursuance of this
design, according to the Correspondent of the Chronicle,,
41 France acquires all that part of Spitin which is si-
tuated on this side of the Ebro; and Russia takes Nla-
jorca, Minorca, and Ivica, of which she hai been de-
sirous since 1814, to have a footing in the Mediterra-
nean. Three hundred thousand French, Germans and
Ru.sians will pia' the last hand to this plan in
the spring which approaches, and the doctrines of
the Holy Alliance will reign without mixture from
one end of the Continent cf Europe to the other."—
That a person should thus attempt to hoax the Chro-
nicle, argues no ordinary portion of credulity on its
side; but that the hoax should take, we confess some
what surplices us, and. that it _does is clearly .hewn
by
the following comment in the Chronicle, on this very
veritable stof y Our Correspondent'
says the Edi-
tor, " as,tnes us solemnly, that he has this news from
the highot and most. respectable source, and we have had
experience of his access to such a source on more than

one occasion."

We have received the Moniteur of Monday by Ex-
press : the only article of intelligence of import-
ance it contains, is accounts from Greece that an
armistice has been agreed upon between the be.
siegers and the besieged at Patras; and that hostages
have been exchanged, until the terms of the capitula-
tion are agreed upon and ratified. The surrender of
this fortress must prove a death-blow to the Ottoman
power in Geece.

Frankfort Papers to the Bth inst. reached us this
forenoon, but they contain no intelligence of importance.
