deliverance of Greme intended—its independence is
also contemplated. If the object was to separate
Greece from Turkey, France and England might have
left this to Russia, which had too strong an intere.t
in attacking Turkey, both in the Archipelago and on
the Danube at the same time, not to have hastened to
the assistance 4.f the Morea. Mr. Canning, however,
supposed with justice, that to allow Greece to change
from the Turks to the Russians, would. be neither serv-
ing the Greeks nor watching over the interest, 1 f Eu-
rope. If Greece were saved by Russia, gratitude, re-
ligious
sympathy, the inclination of the President,
would deliver it up to the Cuts. If the young Em-
peror should take Constantinople, there would be an
additional reason to fear the obedience of Greece to the
avenger of its Patiiarch, and purifiers of St. Sophia.—
Moreover, ever since the time of Philip, Macedonia has
decided the fate of Greece; and Russia, mistress of
Dyzance and the empite of Ale:soder, would govern
to the borders of Messenia. Such, should Russia con-
quer, were the dangers for the futute. By the Treaty
of London, the deliverance of Greece once decided,
Russia lost the pretext for playing singly the part of
her liberator; and when the deliverance was decided,
the independence of Greece was also decided. Greece
vas in this manner placed under the protection of the
three Powers, in order that she might not from weak.
ness and gratitude resign herself to one. The intention
of the Treaty of London may be expressed io one sen-
tence. Greece shall be independent of Constantinople,
whoever may be its master. The Treaty of London is
therefore a Treaty of precaution, for in the future the
Russians only were seen, so little was thought of the
force of the Turks. Now it is a Treaty of generosity;
Greece is to be saved from fire and steel, and France
hastened to accomplish the best pact of the project.
It is an eatraoritinary thing, that in the Treaty of
London, policy and generosity go hand in band. Tia
have the right to say to the Greeks you shall not be
Russian, it was first necessary to say to them you shall
no longer be T.iikish.
Our expedition, then, to the Morea, depends neither
on the successes nor on the reverses of the Russians, our
conduct having been constantly regulated by the Treaty
of L radon. As the friend of civilization and a Christian
State, France cannot feel affliction at the success of the
Russians, but she has never feared danger from (1114:
reverses. We shall conclude by one reflection—Varna
is taken. By this success, Russia closes the summer
campaign honourably, o• begins Vie winter one under
favourable ausrces. The reverses, hoe ever, she has
suffered have dissipated for sometime the charm of her
power. Twice within four years the Colossus has dis-
played its feet of clay at the accession of the Emperor.
arf.en the old disposition of the St.elitz seemed sevived
in the barracks of St. Petersburgh, and this year on the
banks of the Danube. Six years ago, at the least rush
a liberty every one looked with joy or app•ehension to
the Russian giant—the Atlas of the Holy Alliance. A
million of Cossacks. it seemed, were ready to come and
form the police o 4 Emote, and till the death of Alex-
ander, there was a vague tenor of the Russian power.
The empire of Catherine is, no doubt, formidable, but
it is neither secure from *evoke nor the vicissitudes
of war.

About two o'clock this afternoon Mr. Dams', one
of the King's Messengers, arrived at the Foreign and
Colonial Offices, with dispatches from Mr. STRATFORD
CANNING, at Corfu. •

The Paris Papers of Tuesday and Wednesday contain
no political news of importance. A private communi-
cation from Vienna, of the 25th ult. affirms that the
Russians got possession of Varna by bribing Jussurr
PACHA, who caused his troops to lay down their aims
after having conducted the besiegers into the town, and
the consequence was, that the CAPITAN PACHA found
himself no longer able to prolong the contest. This
rumour, says the writer, receives additional countenance
from the silence of the Austrian Observer on the Subject ;
but neither here nor in France are grounds stated for
tl s rumour, beyond the admitted fact that Jcssurr sur-
noticed before his Commander had made up his wind
to that measure. The private letters from Madrid de•
scribe the movements of the French forces marching
homeward that have passed near that city.

We have given extracts in our front page from the
Dutch and Ger man Papers received last nikht.Theintrlli-
gence by the former state that the campaign in the East
was considered as terminated for the present yeas ; that
past of the Guards had received orders to go impo
ter quartets, and, as we had before been informed, dui
sire Emperor NICHOLAS was about to return to St.
Peter sburgh.
The Berlin Pitlit, contain some notices respecting
the movements Paaaawitscar, but they are not of
great interest. The campaign in Armenia, notwith.
standing the claims of victory. and uninterrupted suc-1
cess, prefeued by the Russians, appears to be only about
itvgressperous as that nearer boot.
The German Papers describe the fall of Varna as
barring given vise to she greatest exultation at In'.
Varna was. it seems, never before taken, nor is there
