GREECE.

A short report has been made to the Greek Cnm.
mittee of Paris by General Roche, who hod been em-
ployed by that Committee as their representative and
agent in Greece. The General had resided 18 months
in that country, and after traversing it in all directions,
and forming acquaintance with' the most important
persons who supports its independence, has only lately
returned to give an account of•his mission, and to sug-
gest new means of serving the cause. The means which
he now recommends to his constituents are two, Ist, to
supply Lord Cochrane with a number of steam-vessels,
five or six at first, to be afterwards raised to twenty ;
and, 2d, to organize a body of European volunteers to
the number of between 2,000 and 3,000, under an OIL
cer of reputation and experience, who might display to
the Greeks an example of that military discipline and
subordination, the almost total absence of which has
hitherto paralized their efforts and led to their disasters.
The General has no doubt that, if Lord Cochrane were
supplied with the number of vessels above-mentioned,
be would sweep both the Turkish and Egyptian fleets
from the seas. In confirmation of this opinion, he not
only mentions the high opinion which he himself en.
tertains of his L,•rdship's skill and intrepidity. but the
confidence reposed in him by the Greeks. •' His Lord-
ship is considered by them," says he, 14 as a super-
natural being. In their speeches and their songs they
always speak of him as their slviour." Tke terror of
the Turks would co-operate with the confidence of the
Greeks. " His renown," adds the same authority,
" stimulating their ordinary superstition, leads the
Turks to believe that he is the hero from the North,
whom their prophecies designate as the cause of their
expulsion from Europe to Asia. His name is the terror
of the Mussulmans; and the inhabitants of Smyrnpi
Salonica, and of all the Western coast of Asia, would
no longer believe themselves secure, when they heard
of his arrival among the Greeks." The General goes
on to state, that his Lordship, even without the expected
steam-vessels, might produce a great effect in Greece,
by placing himself at the head of the naval force before
Hydra, where he would find one hundred apd twenty
ships of war, and twenty. seven fire•ships at his disposal,
with sailors as zealous, intrepid, and active, as any in
Europe. On the second part of the subject, General
Roche points out the past' errors of the Greek army,
and particularly alludes to the unfortunate issue of Co•
lonel Fabvier's attack on Eubata.

The exportation of horses from the Danish domi•
nions has amounted, in one year, to upwards of 20,000.
The Etas gives a Despatch from Moscow, dated the
221 ult. which makes no mention of the Coronation,
but merely says that the health of the EMPEROIII was
excellent, and that of the Emmen improving, and that
the previous accounts which had represented her as
dangerously ill, were grossly exaggerated.
The affair of Campbell, the pletenJed Greek agent,
reminds us of scenes of the same description, but of a
more extended character, played off in Ireland, a few
years since, in the name of Bolivar and South American
freedom. Commissions were dare disposed of whole-
sale. Captains and Colonels were createi by a dash of
the pen, in a single morning. Time streets of Dublin
were full of military heroes, blazing in glittering uni-
forms, and panting to unshea:h their war blades on the
summits of the Andes who never spilled any thing but
link in their peaceful lives before. Fifty pounds, if we
remember right, was the purchase of the title (At Cap-
tain and double that sum dubbed the adventurer a
Lieutenant-Colonel! The campaign of these heroes
was short, but brilliant. They attoi.ibl.ed 'the vulgar
in the streets; they figured in the Theatres, and ciat-
teted their sabres. But not one in fit ty ever crossed the
Atlantic, ,nd those who risked the expetiment, were
Ibut too happy to return

A rather singular change has recently taken place in
the complexion of the intelligence received from the
Continent : in place of idle speculation in politics, and
dolorous tales of love and murder. they supply reports
of the prices of grain, and ether useful commercial
information, of much importance at the present mo--
ment. when the first great act of the liberal and en-
lightened policy of Ministers is being felt and acknow-
ledged throughout Europe.
Letters have been received at the Jamaica Coffee.
house to the Ist of August, and Papers to the 26th of
July, from the North side of the Island of Jamaica,
which state, that, in St. Kitts, the question in dispute
between the Collectors of the Customs and the Colo-
nial Authorities, respecting the appropriation of the
duties received under the provisions of the New Trade
Act, had been set at rest, by the Collectors paying over
to the Treasury of the Island the whole of these duties.
Frankfort Papers to the 12th, were received this
morning, but they possess no interest. The following
are extracts :

'tertained of astintimiee. Thertima MID an advance is Picea, I
and Conch is in demand. Yarn is Ea* for exportation, and
ceders fee manafietured goods have toll received from the Con-
tinent. Though the prices for our fabric's at the late Frankfort Fair'
were Ipw, the sale was brisk, which will of course operate to reduce
the quantity of goods in the warehouses in this country. Fortes
safely there are not so many operatives unemployed as there were
weeks ago, and this eirewhastanoe is the more cheering, as it is
hoped that there will be a considerable mitigation of the sufferings
of tie workmen before the winter sets In. The good effects of
opening the ports are already perceivable, both in this Country and
on the Continent, as the interests of both are so intimately blended,
that. their prosperity go hand is band, to that there is no cause of
jealousy. In Yorkshire there is a considerable demand for those
woollen cloths which are worn in winter, and in this branch'
of our manufacture there is every day an increased demand for
workmen. Wages are still extremely low, but they will advance
in proportion to the demand for our fabrics. The Master Silk Ma-
nufacturers are by no means alarmed at the introduction of foreign
silks into this country. They are able, and are prepared, to compete
with their foreign rivals, whom they leave at a vast distance in the
brilliancy and permanence of the colours which give our silks a pre-
ference, that is soon likely to drive French silks entirely out of the
market, arod it is expected that the importation of the latter will
rapidly degrease.
The Indicateur de Bordeaux, received this morning,
assure us that the French treeps of the division of Cadiz have left
their cantonments in that neighbourhood, and stated they are going
to embark to return to France. The cavalry and artillery will
proceed by the way of Madrid. It is also stated that the Swiss
troops are also going to leave, and will be replaced by two rrgiments
of infantry and one of cavalry, coming from France.

Despatches were received yesterday at the Foreign
Office in Downing-street, from Mr. Lassa, Ambassadorat Madrid.
The Duchess of Gt.oucasTsa arrived at her residence,
Gloucester House, Park-lane, yesterday morning, from her seat at
Bagshot. Her Royal Highness paid a visit to the Duke of You,
at the residence of the Duke of Ronald+, in artinaton.areeet, and
remained a considerable time with her Royal brother.
The Duke of YORE was prevented. yesterday, from
taking his daily airing by the unfavourable state of the weather.
Sr Haessex Tanoe and Sir HIDIRY TORSI:XI transacted military
business yesterday with his Royal Highness. His usual medical
attendants visited the Royal Duke.
Mr. PLA NTA, Under Secretary of State for Foreign

Mr. LEIGH, of Lymm, near Macclesfield, who pos-
sesses immense estates in Cheshire, which lie contiguous to those of
Mr. Tosses, of Shrigle-park, was on the point of paying his ad-
dresses to Miss Teatime when she was carried off by Mr. WAKE.
nem That circumstance, we learn, put a stop to the preliminaries
of so advantageous an alliance, as regards property.
The building of the London University, at the upper
end of Gower-street, has been commenced.
Earl and Countess CoV/PER, accompanied by their,
daughter Lady EMILY Cowers, left Melbourne House Whitehall,
for Madrid, on a visit to the Honourable Feminism Lon, Am-
bassador at the Court of Spain.—Mr. Joon MILLSANK, son of Sir
Joint Mituswitt, at half past twelve, also left Melbourne House for
Frankfort, as Secretary of Legation.
FOAGERY.—A young man, whose friends principally
reside in a clothing town in Wiltshire, and who are of the most
respectable class, has recently absconded, and it is said that he has
made his way towards Van Dieman's Land, or America. Several
persons are pursuing him in various directions, whose names be has
affixed to bills of exchange to a very large extent, and one in parti-
cular, who has been defrauded by him of a large sum by a forged
acceptance.
Salt cod fish is now selling at Gravesend and Bil-
lingsgate markets for little more than one halfpenny per lb.
A dashing son of Mars, an Officer in the 92d Regi-
ment, now lying at Rochdale, went out a few evenings
since to " take wine" with a friend. In his return home
he was dogged through the streets, for some purpose or
other, by a lubberly fool of a lad ; the Officer' after
having in vain warned him to "be off," gave him a
sound drubbing with his cane, which made "Goose
Gibbie" open his mouth "to some tune." It so hap-
pened that a very worthy fellow, a bread baker and
flour dealer, was preparing to go to bed, and had stripped
of his coat for that purpose, but hearing a noise in the
street, he went forth to ascertain the cause. The Cap.
rain seeing him approach ready stripped, without stop-
ping to reconnoitre, set him down as an enemy, and,
accordingly, as so-n as he came within distance, the
bread baker received "a rattler" upon one side of his
head, which sent him to the ground. He got up again,
however, and down went the Captain in Ms turn. But
a butter and bacon dealer then came out; a mighty
man, some five feet in height, " to protect his friend,"
as he said, but the Captain :con gave him a satisfier
upon the nose, which sent him -home bleeding and
squalling like one of his own pigs. Law, of course,
followed all this, but even there the little man could not
"save his bacon," having to pay all charges.
BOTANY BAY TH TRICA La.—Romeo and Juliet was
ore of the earliest performances of the Thespian corps,

in that. land of .44 Eminent Personages;'" and the
Governor having announced his intention of honouring
it with his presence, the Police Magistrate took the very
necessary precaution of surrounding the house with a
double row of constables, to secure the performance

_ .
proceeding to a straight-forward close,without that pro
lific garnishing of convulsive hiccuping', sentimental
sighs, heigh-hos, fainting fits, and other significant
tokens of a spiritual overpowering, which had hereto-
fore prolonged the performances to a very late hour.
Things glided on most smoothly till the last scene,
1 where the pensive Romeo was seen staggering towards
the tomb of his dear Juliet, vociferating her name in a
manner which too evidently shewed how he was affected.
To his repeated tender exclamations of Juliet, Juliet I
not even a sigh was returned; the audience became
impatient: but their murmurs of impatience were con-
verted into one universal shudder of horror, on Romeo
exclaiming, with a wild shriek, "she is dead !" which
was soon apparent to the whole auditory, on perceiving
her heels sticking up out of theitomb 1 The fond Romeo
passionately seized the protruding members, and
dragged her feelingly forth from her place of test—
making, however, such a display of her charms in the
chivalrous attempt, as forced the Lady visitors to a hasty
flight from this "too theatric" sight. All eyes were
now riveted on this tragic spectacle of youth and
beauty, and " dead, dead !" burst in one unbroken
exclamation from every part of the house. 44 Yes,"
sighed the sentimental Romeo—" dead drunk."
