We are sorry to perceive, in several of the most in-
fluential Journals, a tendency to narrow the limits of
Greece as she exists in the actual extent of her deliver-
ance, and to acquiesce in the exaction of a tribute from
her to Turkey, for the sovereignty which is to be gua-
ranteed to her by the mediating Powers. It has been
said, that the cry of Greece for succour in her day
of desolation to the Christian States around her,
was only answered on certain political conditions ;
and that, if Greece had accepted these, she would
have been abandoned to the extirpation which awaited
her. When the knife of the Turk was at her
throat, and death or acquiescence the alternative, that
she assented to these stipulations will create no sur-
prise : but in such a moment of helplessness, to extort'
conditions on which alone the aid of humanity was
afforded, argues a policy as unsound, as it
and impure. Dismissing, however, as
these discussions, all considerations of abstract
morality, we are at a loss to conceive on what
• so necessary for us to be tender of Turkish
the disparagement of the best plan which
suggested itself for breaking the unity of the
despotisms, by the erection of a free state in
—independent,though confining upon all.
,ity of uncontrouled Greece, in amity and al-
England, would lie like a stumbling-block be-
, and her march upon the Mediterranean ; and
guarantee, over and above, a bright liberty in
other nations upon that sea, now groaning
sceptre.

Union. How long will North America then permit
Cuba to be held by Spain as an offensive station ? From
that moment Cuba will be North-Americanising (as the
ancient Greek States were said to be Atticising) and in
a very short time the North American Union flag would
be flyhig on the towers of the Moro Castle.
It is the natural, inevitable result of North America's
intervention. It is the price Mexico must pay for her
security and repose, and which England must submit to
pay for her indifference to the new States of South
America, partiality for FERDIWAND, and injustice in
the application of the code of neutrality.
We have no doubt Mexico will repel the present attack,
but she must terminate at once all the ills which the
continued means of attack occasion. We have cried
" Wolf" for a long time- we hope the bleat of the vic-
tims will not be heard, but fear the hope is vain. Can
we at such a moment afford the loss of South American
trade ? The minds of all men, poor and rich, are in the
highest state of excitement : all are agreeing that some
change must take place, or rather is taking place—com-
bination is the order of the day. Operatives are requir-
ing lower prices, hoping to drive their masters to mea-
sures they think indispensable for relief. The masters
attack the landlords, and say rents must be lowered—
and the landlord and operatives say consequently ma-
chinery must be taxed ; but yet at this moment we see
with complacency eighteen millions of capital put in
jeopardy, and the whole markets of the New World
exposed again to the prejudices of a desolating war, the
object of which is to introduce Spanish domination and
monopoly. It is true that the Mexicans and Colombians
have not paid their bonds, but Old Spain would not re-
cognize them, and total confiscation Is Certainly worse
than suspended payment. To prove this it is only ne-
cessary to look at the price of the Spanish Cortes, and
South American Bonds, and to recollect how much the
price of the latter is influenced by the offensive station
of Cuba, and the Spanish armaments continually as-
sembling there.

By the Flanders mail this day, we have the Prussian
State Gazette, and the Algemeine Zeitung, to the 24th
instant. The former gives a loose account of •another
victory over the Turks in Asia, the news of which had
come to St. Petersburgh during the celebration of the
birth-day of her Majesty the EMPRESS.—WhiIe the Al-
gemeine Zeitung still speaks of prospects of peace, it in-
forms us of mighty preparations for the spirited continu-
ance of hostilities. In other respects the foreign papers
of this day are uninteresting. The following are the most
important selections we are enabled to give :

ST. PETERSBURGH, Jinx 35.

The day before yesterday, the birthday of ber Majesty the
Empress, was celebrated as usual by Divine Service, and with
every demonstration of public respect and attachment. The general
pleasure was greatly heightened by the arrival of the news of the
taking of Silistria. At t►e same dose wit► this welcome intelli-
gence, news arrived from Mils of another victory, gained on the
14th nit. by the united detachments of Major Generals Murawluo
and Bartow, over large bodies of Turks. who had assembled is
the defile of Portov. The enemy lost their rich camp, which was
taken by storm, a large quantity of ammunition and provisions.
400 prisoners, five standards, and all their artillery. The Turks,
whose force amounted to 15,000 men, lost 1,200 In killed and
wounded ; our lose is small. The details of this seders are not
known. Count Paskewitsch was still at Kars, but was preparing
to attack the Seraskier himself, who, wit► an army of 50,000 men.
is about 60 worsts (40 miles) from that fortress.
His Highneu Chesrew Mires, Prince of Persia, arrived on the
10th of June at midnight,' in the fortress of Wiadikawkask, -
icompanled by a numerous suite, by Major-General Rennenkamf,
of the suite of his Imperial Majesty, and other Russian officers.
A guard of honour was sent to meet him twelve worsts irons the
fortress. Outside the gates be was received by Major-General
Skweeselo, the Governor, and other officers, who accompanied his
Highness to the residence prepared for Min, before which a guard
of honour was ready to receive him with military honours as he
alighted from his carriage. The next morning the Prince took
advantage of the fine weather to walk in the gardens of the fortress,
and to view from the surrounding hills the picturesque scenery of
country. On the 12th, being the Persian festival of the Courant
Beiram, the Prince received the compliments of his suite, and of
the Russian Generals and officers. While his Highness stayed there,
the bvsd of the regiment played every evening under his window.
On the 14th he proceeded on his journey to St. Petersburgh, after
thanking the Governor in the most flattering terms for the hospi-
table reception he ►ad met with.—Pros ices State Gazette, July 24.
