The island of Hydra has followed the example of Maims, and effected its

lotion by the employment of forte, it has bare *ought to sow division
among the Hydriote chiefs; but these efforts have proved of no avail.
An intimate union still subsists among them. It is even asseried that
the island of Spent& has joined Hydra, which is now the focus of the
revolution. A pamphlet treating of the present intrigues of Greece,
and opposing the system of the President, was prohibited in
Greets, but it has bees reprinted at Hydra, where a journal is
also published, which It was vainly attempted to establish tame.
" The party opposed to Count Caporlstrias is composed of two very
I distinct elements. One party, headed by several patriots, wish to re-
move the Count merely with a view of taking, his place. They speak
of liberty only in cider to conceal their ambitious projects, and to
trample liberty under foot. The other party have joined the fame
because they cannot do any thing by thmadves. The Government is
seconded by some old chiefs, among whom is Coloootroni, and by a
part of the people, especially the populace."—Prench l'aper.

THE POLES AND THE GRAND DUKE CONSTANTINE.
In an article upon Poland in the Metropolitan Magazine,
written by a Polish nobleman, the following is the account
of the conspiracy to seize the Grand Duke :
" The Grand Duke, though affecting • 'reckless courage
on all occasions, did not choose to incur the risk of living in
the centre of Warsaw, but established himself at the Palace
of Melveder, in the outskirts of the city, having at a short
distance the barracks of three regiments of Russian guards.
From some whimsical notion, he surrounded the barracks
with a wide and deep ditch, over which some very narrow
bridges were thrown, so that by boats it was most conve-
niently crossed. Constantine had no guards about his re-
sidence, but the disguised spies were so numerous, that no
stranger could approach beyond the outer gate without in-
terruption. The habits of the Grand Duke, too, fa-
voured the plan of the conspirators. His usual prac-
tice was to rise at four o'clock; to appear among the
troops and in public until his hour of dinner, which is
two in the afternoon; then to retire to bed, sleep until
seven or eight o'clock ; then to rise again, and devote him-
self to amusement for the evening. The hour chosen for
proceeding to his palace, for the purpose of making him a
prisoner to be detained as a hostage, was seven. At that
time the young soldiers proceeded to the bridge of Sobieski,
where the main body posted themselves, while a dozen of
tbssioseiletermined pressed forward to complete their ob-
ject. They forced their way into the pahice, where they
were first opposed by the Director of the Police, one Lebo-
widizki, who fled on being wounded ; next they encountered
the Russian General Gender, a man infamous for his crimes;
he was killed in the act of resisting. Lastly, when on the I
point of reaching the bed-chamber of the Grand Duke,l
who, alarmed, had just risen, they were stopped by the
valet-de-chambre Rochanowski, who, by closing a secret
door, enabled his master to escape undressed through the
window. He fled to the guards, who instantly turned out.
Disappointed in their prey, the devoted band rejoined their
companions at the bridge of Sobieski, where they had been
awaiting the result of the plan. On finding that the first
object had failed, they resolved on returning into the city.
in doing this it vas necessary to pass close to the barracks,
where the soldiers were already mounted, but were 'tillable
to cross the ditch from the precautionary arrangement of the
email bridges. They could, therefore, only fire on the boa-
tile party,- who, from being thus peculiarly situated, returned
the fire se briskly that they killed 300 before they reheated,
carrying off only one oftheir party wounded. On reaching
the city they insteady liberated every state prisoner, were
joined by the school of the engineers, and the students of
the University. A party entered the only two theatres
open calling out " women, bane—then, to arms r-dec:

lowest custom-house' o%.cer, may be bought with bribes. Tra-
vellers and natives are alike expected—nay, necessiuited, to
pave their way with gold ; and the man who expects to ob-
