quoting from the German Papers:
SWITZERLAND, NIARCH SIL

The dependence of Switzerland on the neighbouring
countries for a regular supply of the indispensable article
of salt, wh;ch is so very sca►ce in the country itself,
has induced the Government at various times to bore
for salt where there was season to hope for success.—
Last year, the Canton of Berne sent M. Schluter to
examine the results of the attempts to find salt by boring
at Eglisau and Schleitheim; and likewisi to visit the
new salt works in Wirtemburg and Baden; from which
countries a great part of Switzerland is supplied.—
M. Scblatter, in his report, says he has convinced
himself; by careful inspection, that all attempts to hare
for salt at Eglisaa.and &hleitheim, are useless, because
these places.are at least 200 feet loaer than the stratum
of salt at Durkeim, which runs nearly horizorrally,
and the prolongation of which was sought at Eglisau
and Schleitheim. The existence of salt near the Lebu•
berg also appears to him so *doubtful, that he would
not advise any farther expenditure in the attempts to
bore for salt at Bid. . .
On the other hand, asWurtemburg and Baden have an
inexhaustible supply of salt, and the improvements in
.the mode of carrying on the works cause a greater qua.•
City to be obtained with less trouble, he is of opinion
that Switzerland will find more advantage in procuring
its salt from these countries, than it would derive from
establishing salt•works of its own, if, after a succession
of expensive researches, it should really be found io suf-
ficient quantities.

It appears that the report of the Egyptian fleet
thawing been scattered, and partly returned to Alex-
andria is not true, as letters from Zante, of tbs.
12th of March, announce the landing of a con-
siderable body of troops near Modon, by IslAttw
PACHA. We trust that this new and vigorous effort
on the part of the Porte, will cause the Greek Chiefs to
oink all their petty and selfish dissensions, . and make
common cease against the enemy. It is said the
Greeks attacked the Turkish troops and repulsed them ;
but as the latter are waiting for reinforcements from

Candia, the Turkils army will become formidable. In.
deed, after the numerous defeats the Turks-have suf-
fered, no commander would undertake a nevi expedi-
tion against the Noma, unless its force promised some
chance of success. It is however probable, that this
new army will share the fate of those that preceded it,
and the independence of Greece still not be secured; for
the disparity between the belligerents is so great
that the Greeks might be exterminated, even by victories,
before the population of Turkey suffered any essential
diminution. But will the other Powers of Europe
tamely look on and see this ? We hope not. True it
is, that to one of these Powers a war, which renders a'l
neighbouring State weak and defenceless, may be a
matter of gratification, but even this prospective view
of aggrandisement must of itself be sufficient to make
other States anxious to prevent those ambitious views
being realized.
We hope we have as much respect for the rights of
nations as any person, and entertain no great love for
the fine-spun theories on the balance of power in which
politicians indulged some years ago; but humanity calls
on the European Powers to interpose between the Turks
and the Greeks, in order to put a stop to that effusion of
,akitstishich has continued so long, and threatens for
years to deluge a fair portion of Europe. We are aware
this is a delicate question, but as men and as Christians,
the Greeksare entitled to our interference go say nothing
of their claims as a brave :people, that have for cen-
tunics groaned under an odious and oppressive tyranny,
whisk will be increased tenfold, shquld their preexist
efforts to shake off the yoke be crushed. •
We hope for a better ;colt, but it must be long, we
feai., before Greece will be free and tranquil, unless the
Powers of Europe take her under their protection. The
fgliswing is the latest intelligence from the Morea i '
