this important systematic linproyement in colonial po-
licy, seems well -calculated to insure. The whole view
.of the business in the Prdepectus appears to be very
guardedly expressed, as if the Directors had studiously
avoided being brought into comparison with the nume-

roue projects of the day. •
The beauty of this plan, as a commercial under-
taking, is, that landed security is immediately given for
all the capital advanced, and that, in addition to Four
per Cent. per Annum interest, the profits arising from
the transactions of the Company are to be, from time
to time, divided, for the period of fifteen years, during
which it is but rational to expect, from the statement in
the Prospectus, that these may be very considerable
indeed.

Out of all sight this is the most rational and best se-
cured scheme that his been offered to capitalists, since
the rage for vesting their property, for interest, in Fo-
reign Stocks had its commencement. It is the British
Colonies and British Interests versus the Elderados.

The Prospectus, too, comes before the Public sanc-
tioned by an authorised statement that a Royal Charter
will be granted, and that Government will sanction an
application to Parliament for an Act of Incorporation.

Oar Readers are already aware that the learned

Moonshee Professor GaUITHAUSEN, of Munich, has dis-

covered castles, not in the air, but in the moon, and in-
habitants of course. The learned Professor is pursuing
his researches, and, it would seem, with no ordinary
success, for be has been able to distinguish, not merely
cultivated from uncultivated parts, but even arable
from meadow land, and to lay down the precise places
where vegetation and animals are to be seen.—
One of his first discoveries was a large fortification ; he
has since improved much upon this, and has ascer-
tained that a star redoubt is attached to it " dedicated
to religious purposes." The nest inquiry was to ascer-
tain of what persuasion the Moonrakers are, and this
he has ascertained -" they worship the Stars, and
consider the earth as a natural clock," constructed of
course en that great desideratum with its inhabitants,
the perpetual motion. But we must let our Readers,
have the Professor's own account, which we quote from
the Vienna Gazette of the With nit.
VIENNA, JULY St.
Professor Gruithausen, of Munich, has now published
the first third part of his Essay on the many plain
Indications of Inhabitants in the Mooa, and espe-
cially of a colossal building. The Munich Gazette com-
municates some of the most remarkable results derived
from a great number of observations made last year;
they answer three questions.

1. To what htitude in the Moon we there indication of ve-
getadon?
I. How far us there indications of animated beings?
3. Where are the greatest and plainest wants of art on the surface
of the Moon?

With respect to the first question, it appears from the
observations of Schroter and Gruithausen, that the vege-
tation on the moon's surface extends to 48 degrees
South latitude, and 65 degrees North latitude. Many
hundred observations have 'hewn, in the different co-i
lours and monthly changes of the parts evidently co-
vered with plants, three kinds of phenomena, which
cannot possibly be explained, except by the process of
vegetation. To the second question, it is answered, that
the indications from which the,existence of living beings
is inferred, are found from 50 degrees North latitude, to
37 degrees, and perhaps 47 degrees South latitude.

The answer to the third question relates to the ob-

nervations pointing out the places on the moon's surface
in which are appearances of artificial causes altering the
surface. The author here examines the appearances
that induce him to infer that there are artificial roads
in various directions; and he also describes the great
colossal edifice, resembling our cities, on the most fer-
tile part, near the moon's equator. It is remarkable
that it stands accurately according to the four cardinal
points, and that the main lines are in angles of 4.5* and
90'; and a building, resembling what is called a star
redoubt, is attached to it, which the discoverer presumes
Ito be dedicated to religious purposes: and as the Sele.
nites can see no stars in the day-time (their atmosphere
lbeing so pure), he thinks that they worship the stars,
and consider the earth as a natural clock, The Essay
is accompanied by several plates.

We have received from various sources a mass of in-
telligence relating to Greece, to which the public at-
tention becomes more directed as the long threatened
campaign approaches.

Private letters from Salonica state, that the Captain
Pacha had found Considerable difficulty in inducing the
auxiliary Albanian troops, to embark on board his fleet,
or account of their demanding not only their arrears of
pay, but likewise three months in advance; and that
the corps of those troops at the fort of Eparnona had
absolutely refused to join the Pacha pntil these conditions
were complied with, although he had arrived purposely
to embark them. If, however; we are to believe an
article from' the frontiers of Italy, in the Frankfort
Papers, the Pacha of SCUTARI has, through ce the in-
tervention of a foreign agent," got the means of satis-
fying the Albanians,.so far as money is concerned, and
that he is preparing to attack Missolenghi. MACAO-.
ICORDATO is doing all in his power to fortify the place,
which we doubt not will make a Most determined re-
sistance, if treachery does not do the work which the
Turkish scimetars are unable to accomplish. . When
some time ago we gave an account. of a conspiracy that
had been. formed to betray Missolonghi to the Turks;
we were told by the Greek deputies in London, that it
was of no importance. It now appears, by a letter
from Zante, of the 21st of June, that the treasonable at-.
tempt which we described has not been the only one,
but that another act of treason had occurred at Misso-

• •
longli, which at one time threatened the most dangereus
consequences. It apears that CAIRALC/STOS, oste of
the Governors of the city, had agreed to deliver it upl
to Jussur PACHA, who was to march 3,000 Turks
towards the fortress: The correspondence containing
this plot was seized by a post of Greeks, and forwarded
to Prince MAUROCORDATO, who took measures to pre-
vent its execution. The Turks marched, but were met
and defeated, and CARALCISTOS is stated to have been

put in irons.
It is confirmed in the letters from Zante, that a
massacreof the Greeks has taken place at Smyrna. The
perpetrators were the Asiatic poops, which passed
through that city on Oleic way to the seat of war. It
was added, however, that when this intelligence reached
the PACHA, he caused some severe examples to be made
of those who had been most active in the butchery,
Considerable uncertainty prevailed at Salonica as to the
real destination of the Ottoman squadron ; but it was
generally thought that it would first proceed to raise
the siege of Negropont.
The following article is from the Frankfort Papers
received this morning :

FRONTIERS OF ITALY, JULY 12.
.Thanks to the intervention of a foreign agent, who
enjoys high credit with the Porte, the Pacha of Scutari
has at length received a considerable sum of money.
for the payment of which funds had already been pro-
vided some time since in a considerable commercial city
in the Adriatic ; notwithstanding all the efforts which
this Pacha had made among the Albanian tribes, even
those with which he had the most connection, he had
not been able to succeed in obtaining troops, because
he was unable to pay the chiefs. His urgent solicita-
tions at Constantinople have at length obtained him funds,
and he will now have no difficulty in procuring troops.
All these circumstances are perfectly known at Mis-
solonghi, and measures are taken to put the place in a
state of defence to resist the new attacks that may be
expected from the Pacha of Scutari: there is no doubt
that he would have commenced offensive operations
much sooner, but for the difficulties which we have
spoken of, but now he will not delay taking the field.
Maurocardato does everything in his power to orga-
nize his means of defence in the best manner. For-
tunately he has already received some remittances of
money from England, which have come very apropos.
The Greek corps which is in Acarnania, beyond the
frontiers of Etolia, has been reinforced, and its van-
guard increased by some detachments. This van-
guard is in the neighbor hood of Arta. All the
inhabitants of the mountains are in arms, and resolved
to make a desperate resistance to the attacks of the
Turks. Bat in this state of things Maurocordato must
renounce all offensive operations. Workmen are em-
ployed without Intermission in fortifying Missolonghi,
should the Turks advance so far. It is hoped that the
plan of defence which succeeded on the last occasion
may be repeated; that is, to cut off their communica-
tions* and by this means compel theta to retreat ; foe it
is impossible for the Turks to make themselves masters
of the place anises the fleet attacks it by sea; at the
same time, we have not yet heard that the fleet has ap-
peared in the lonian Sea. The garrison of Patras re-
mains inactive, and has not attempted any fresh sally;
nor has anything passed at Lepanto. Dervisch Pacha
is said to have received orders to remain on the defen-
sive till he has received fresh instructions.

By the Union, arrived in the Clyde from Demerara,
files of papers to the 15th of June have been received.
The following extract is from the Guiana Chronicle of.
the 14th of June :

" We are sorry to learn, that Within this last fortnight the page
of three estates between Georgetown and Mahalca have refused to
do their work, and that the principal pans of each of them have
been down to the Fiscal, to lodge complaints against their owner*
or managers. These complaints, we understand, have been, for the
most part, of a frivolous. and vexatious nature—but we have yet to
leant what measures his Excellency the Governor, or the
has adopted, or intends to adopt, to prevent the recurrence of this
improper and disorderly conduct on the part of the slaveN for the fu-
ture. A great number of the mean from the Big Diamond estate,
up the river, came down to town this morning ; and if some decided
steps are not promptly and vigorously enforced, his' Honour mar
expect to be visited, in a short time, by the gangs of all the estates
to the country. A listless maenads's, on thorn of the Executive,
of this striking of week by a few evil-disposed Nevem, v►il prove
not only highly subversive of ail discipline among that oboe of people
in general, tut will he a sown of Teti condflgrabli Injury to the
ins Interests of their masten." •
