for departure; nor have Imy ground, beiond those *bleb !
open in common to me and to all the world, for appreh
that that departure is likely to be intercepted..-(tlear),.rji
not be expected of me that ['should say anything of what might, I
in a contrary supposition, be the decision which k would be-
come me to form. I can only declare, with eta moot west
sincerity. that such a decision would be fanned by ins upon
an honest and impartial review of public considerations alone,
and would be determined, not by a calculation of my interests,
but upon a balance of what I conceived nay public duty.—
Gendemen, enough of this topic, upon which I might still, per-
haps, have hesitated to utter a word, if I had not been informed
that my silence respecting it upon a former occasion has been
misinterpreted. I trust I shall not now be anisinterpreted the
other way ; and that having been understood as ostentatiously
abjuring office at home, front not adverting to the possibility of
its being rroposed to me, I may not now be considered as, an
the other hand, expressing an anxiety fur office, by the, I hope,
sufficiently measured allusion which I have found glyself at last
compelled to make to surmises of which I ant not the author,
but the object. Whatever my lot may be, may this great com-
munity flourish in that prosperity which is now beginning to be
restored to it ; may you continue In the enjoyment of these
libe-
ral principles front which you have never swerved--in that
honourable spirit of political contest which has ever distinguished
you, and in that cordial and friendly union which binds you to
each other, however politically oppoted—(Cheers).—blay you
continue to flourish, as you are, an image of a splendid Com-
mercial •nation, adding to the number of those ; rincely mer-
chants whose history one among you has so aply described.
May you go on mingling science and history with your com-
mercial pursuits, and aduining all by a continuance of those
munificent chkrities which have so long distinguished your town,
and when you are called upon to select a Representatiee to fill
that station which I have had the honour sif holding in another
place, may you find one more able and more industrious than I
have beets--one more devoted to your interest, or more thank-
ful for your kindness, I am sure you cannot find.

" SEMLIN, AUGUST 12.

Several of the Ministers had audience of his MeV
MTV yesterday on the subject of the new ministerial
arrangements; but they are not yet completely ma-
tured. The principal difficulty seems to be as to Mr.
CANNING. The. Earl of LIVERPOOL urges the neces•
sity of strengthening the Ministry by the accession
of that Gentleman's talents; but there is a repug-
nance in a certain quarter which is likely_to outweigh
all the arguments of state expediency. It is now
stated, that Earl BATIIIIRET will be transferred from
the Colonial to the Foreign Office, and that he will
be succeeded by Mr. ROBINSON, who seems destined
for a Principal Secretaryship. Mr. HUSICISEON is
also spoken of as likely to have the offices of Trea-
surer of the Navy, and President of the Board of
Trade. The report of the Duke of WELLINGTON
having left town for Vienna, which we copied from
a Morning Paper of yesterday, is unfounded.

German Papers to the 25th ult. reached us this,
forenoon. An article from Frankfort states, that,
Count HAHDENBEnc, the Hanoverian Minister to the
Court of Austria, was on his way to London, where
he is to assist in drawing up the plan for the organi-
zation of the kingdom of Hanover: and that M.
HOPPENSTEDT is also a Member of the Committee
appointed for the same purpose. An article from
Semlin, gives the following new version of the affairs
of the Greeks:

" Since my last, letters have been received from
Epirus, by which it appears that Count Norman
could not possibly have been present at the affair at
the Thermopylz. _ _

The great ignorance of geography of many
Greeks has probably made them confound him with
some other General : however, Normann is saidlike-
wise to have gained a victory in Albania on the 2Cith
of July, but the particulars are not known. So much
is known fur certain, that in the middle of July he

was posted with Bozzaris near Acta, which is eighty
leagues from Thermopyli. •
" I have a letter from Bitoglia before me, of 31st
July, which likewise announces the entire defeat of
Chourschid Pacha at Theimopylz--(This is the letter
stating the Pacha to have been taken prisoner, with
70 Beys and 11,000 Turks. To this is subjoined the
other report of the defeat of the Greeks on the 13th,
and.of their victory on the 14th July, and the heroic
conduct of young Bozzaris, who defended the Ther-
mopylz with 700 men, but lost his life, ice)"

Advices from Zante, of the 3Jst of July, represent
the Turks to have scoured both sides of the Gulf of
Lepanto, to have occupied Corinth, and also to have
retaken Athens. From Corinth they emended them-
selves to Napoli di Romania, the evacuation of which,
,by the Turks, they arrived in sufficient time to pre-
vent. This fortress had surrendered to the Greeks,
to be delivered up on a fixed day, and the Turkish
garrison, by the articles of capitulation, was to be'
transported to Asia in English or Austrian ships,,._
`.'o secure the safety of the garrison, the Greeks had
sent hostages into the place, but as.soon as the gar-
rison saw that their own lives were safe, by the ap.
)roach of their countrymen, these Grecian hostages
were butchered. These accounts—to palliate this
