acts of individual Members of Parliament and those ti
the Members of the Government. And, according to aZ
the usages of Nations, ancient and modern, they may
justly require the legislative power of Great ILitain,
in whosever hands that power resides, to restrain its
subjects from furnishing the means of committing open
hostilities on their unoffending people. If the Govern.

are the acts of individuals over whom he has no control,

no war with him, but retaliate our wrongs on '.:is
individual subjects who are in our power ; and thfn
the case will come by such arguments to this notah:e

and friendship, the people of the respective natiers
are at war. We trust that Mr. HUMS and his friethls
will profit by this well-meant hint, assuring them that
they are not more attached to the liberation of Greece
than we are, provided that such a desirable event can

This forenoon we received the Allgetweine Zeitity
to the SOth vit. They contain some unimportant n•

marks on the ceremonials of the Hungarian Diet, ad
the preparations for the Coronation of the Entpresssf
Manua. These papers give an account of the darn
attempt of the Greeks on the shipping in the port of
Alexandria, which, had it succeeded, would have de-
stroyed the whole shipping in the harbour, and laid the
town in ashes. This attack excited so much alarm at
Alexandria, that the Vice• Governor, the Governor,
and the Director of Marine, had been sent in pursuit
of the Greeks; and the Viceroy of Egypt hearing
that the Vice-Governor had not proceeded towards the
Greeks, but in an opposite direction, put to sea Mare,
and ars absent some days, without meeting with the
Greeks. In the meantime the Capitan Pacha, with 'AI
fleet, had arrived at Alexandria.
The Osservatore Veneziano of 22d September, cort•
tains the following letter from Alexandria, in Egyp;
received by way of Trieste:
" Oa the 10th of August, at three o'clock in the
afternoon, the advanced post of the pilots gave the sig.
nal usual on the arrival of ships, that other pilots
might go out to bring them into the harbour. Soon
after, three brigantines were descried, which at five
o'clock hoisted Sags, one a Russian, the second an
lonian, and the third, as it seemed, an Austrian flag.
The first, having takers a pilot on board, entered the
hat hour half an hour before the others, and following
the direction of the wind, sought an anchoring place
near several Turkish vessels, two of which were fri-
gates. The other brigantines followed at some distance :
all three were Greek fire-ships. The first was soon re-
eognised, and those on board perceiving this, set it on
fire in the middle of the harbour, and to the windward
of 100 European merchantmen and a French brig. The
crew got into their long boat and fled, leaving the pilot
on board the fire-ship, which burst into flames, but,
fortunately, did not explode, perhaps for want of suffi-
cient combustibles : passing through the forests of masts
it ran aground. The other two firoships, seeing this,
took flight: a couple of balls which the French brig
fired at the long-boa of the first, reached, but did not
injure it.
" If this attempt had succeeded, not a ship would
have escaped. The town would brie been reduced to
ruins, and the sailors and inhabitants have been sacri-
ficed. PROVIDENCE) however, protected both the Egyp-
tians and the Europeans. The Viceroy of Egypt, who
was at Alexandria, ordered the Vice• Governor (Billal
Aga) to put to sea on the evening of the 10th, in pur-
suit of the fire-ships. On the 11th, the Governor and
Director of the Marine followed, with several ships, to
second the Vice Governor in pursuit of the Greeks.—
During the whole night of the 11th, a heavy can-
nonade was beard. The Greek cruisers had met, off
Damietta, a number of small Turkish merchantmen,
with the convoy of Which they were engaged.
" The next morning a-report was spread that the V ice.
Governor, instead of proceeding towards the side from
which the cannonade came, had steered fa. the oppOsite
'direction, to the west.- The Viceroy, incensed at this,
went on board his ,olrvette, lately built at Genoa, on
'the 12th; in the morniagy to - pursue the Greeks. He
was accompanied by many of hismonfeithful servants,
among whom was the Patron* Bey. Ile left the-Go-4

,ernor, snaking them all subordinate to Boghas Jussut.
