FRANKFORT, JUNE Is.

The King of Prussia passed through this morning
to go to'Homburg, where he breakfasted. His Ma-
jesty returned to dinner at Frankfort, and then went
to pay a visit to the Grand Duke and Duchess of''
Hesse. To-morrow his Majesty goes to Mayence.
It is well known that the Leipsic Fair is regularly
visited by numerous Greeks, who do considerable
business there. These transactions, which are not
always completed by payment in ready money, lead
to obligations to be discharged the ensuing fair, by
punctual fulfilment of which the Greeks have hitherto
been distinguished. At the last fair, however, only a'
single individual of that nation appeared as the au-1
thorised agent of all his ccuotrymen who.had obliga-
tiobs of this nature to discharge. He was commis-
sioned to' xcuse their non-appearance on account of
the present state of things in their country, which
likewise made it impossible for them to pay the sums
that were due front them this fair. At the same
time, he adde.l, in the name of his employers, the
assurance that the payments should be immediately
made when the state of things at home rendered it in
any degree possible.
At the house of a merchant in this city, the Greek
accidentally met with the friend of a man of letters,
born and living here, who has acquired an honour-
able reputation, not alone in Germany, by his inge-
nious writings and their philanthropical tendency.—
He gave to this friend a present of no intrinsic value,
and deriving its worth solely from the giver's inten-
tion, viz. a plain Turkish pipe, requesting him to
deliver it to the writer in question as a testimony of
the high esteem with which he and his countrymen
were inspired towards him, and which had been ex-
cited in them by the perusal of his writings. The
Greek proposed also to send a pamphlet., from the
pen of one of the most distinguished literati of his
country, giving an account of the first origin of the
spirit which now animates his countrymen,. which is
hitherto little known in Europe, especially in Germany.
—On this subject he himself briefly observed, that
this spirit had been first and chiefly excited by the
generous assistance which already, at the Vienna
Congress, had been given by the civilized nations of
Europe to his countrymen, for the purpose of dif-
fusing knowledge among them. The facility, there-
by, afforded towards the re-acquirement of that
higher , intellectual culture by which Greece was
distinguished in remote antiquity, had excited, eve.:
daily by the study of history, which is now very
general, the most glorious recollections, by which
persons of all distinctions of age or sex were now'
animated ; and had given birth and consistency to
the resolution to advance, with undeviating perse-
verance, towards the proposed object, in despite of
all the dangers with which their lives and property
were threatened.

The Greek confirmed the report that had been pre-
viously spoken of in former journals, that Cara• Ali
had certainly attempted, by a studied treachery to
the Greeks, to open himself a way to a reconciliation
si ith the Porte, the hope of which he had nor yet re-
nounced, as the Porte had hitherto spared the lives
of his children, who were in its hands as securities
for his behaviour. His perfidious intentions had,
hoWever, been discovered ia good time, by his most
confidential Secretary, a Greek by birth, and such
precautions had been taken, that it would be baldly
possible for him to sliew his evil dispositions in overt
acts. The Greeks had.the more efficacious means in
their hands, as Ali was surrounded with their coun-
trymen, and strictly watched ; so that it would not
be easy for him to undertake anything without their
knowledge.
