Since the 10th August this year, a new journal ha,
been published at Hydra, under the title of the fade
pendent (iase►te of Greece. It had but an ephemeral
existence, for °tithe 18th of September Mr. PAndili. a
tilydriot, the editor, received the following note from
the Primates of the island, which is communicated by
the Greek Bee, a journal in the French language, pub.
Wised at Hydra:

solved that the publication of your Journal is henceforth to cease.

" The Primates of the Island of Hydra.
" Hydra, September t ts, 1827."
To this note the Editor reterried at► answer, which is
also given by the Greek Bee. In this answer he says,
that if Greece were still under the iron sceptre of the
Sultan, he must yield ; but as the order come. from the
Government, who..e will is nothing unless founded on
the Constitution. he should be unjust to himself, and
unworthy thO name of a Hydrioti it he renounced one

think that our able brother Journalists, who defuse to
much time, and spend so much trouble in defending the
conduct of Sir EPWAAD CODRINGITON. might almost
save themselves their pains, in thus rigorously

which is so clearly "moral right" never can engender
harm to national prosperity.
