TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR.

Bath, 234 Jay,

SlR—Will you allow me to make one or two remark,
on the following passage, which appeared in some of tht
London Journals of Wednesday, in an article dated.fron
the frontiers of Italy :—" There is no doubt that, if the
choice of a head for the new state of Greece shall k left
to the Greek nation, it will fall on CountCA Po D'IST It I 4%."
have not the smallest hesitation in pronouncing tier
above to be the production of one of those Russian agent,
,
wno are scattered all over the Continent, to write para.
graphs favourable to the views and wishes of the Cabinet •
of St. Petersburgh. With respect to the assertion itself.
nothing can be more barefaced or improbable. It is noto-
rious, both in and out of Greece, that M. CAPe D'ISTRIAS
is the most unpopular man in the whole country, and it
would be strange if he were not. With the exception of
myriads of decrees and proclamations, scarcely one of
which he has ever had either the energy or power to
carry into effect, what has he done for Greece ? Taking
advantage of the total indifference affected by our pre-
, sent Ministers, towards a country which they knew it
was the interest of England to raise into a barrier against
the all-devouring ambition of Russia, CA Po D'lsT u lAS
has from the moment of his nomination been suffered to
act as if he had been a mere Russian Governor. His con-
duct towards England and Englishmen has been marked by
treason and ingratitude. He knew that it was to
a few Englishmen he owed his elevation. For had any
one of them told the Patriots assembled at Hermione,
" this man's nomination will not please Mr. CANNING"
—for the lamented Minister was then alive, and watch-
ing over the liberties of Europe—he would never have
put his foot in Greece : and how has he requited our
thoughtless confidence ? By studied insult to those of
our countrymen, who fought and bled in the cause long
before he was connected with it ; and by heading a sys-
tematic cabal against General Cur RCII, whom the people
had unanimously chosen to be the leader of their
armies.—His conduct with regard to the loans contracted
in this country, is an evidence equally of dishonesty and
ingratitude. Miserably as those two transactions were of
managed, Greece owes her safety to them. I am pre- .
pared to prove and maintain, that the effect of the loans
contracted in England was such as I state. The pro-
coeds, small as they were, came at a time when the
country was quite exhausted, and unable to proceed with
its struggle. The moral effect in stimulating public
opinion was also very great, and most essential, at a mo-
ment when many good judges considered the cause at an
end. And yet what has been the conduct of M. CAPO
DISTRIAS in this respect? Though he assured the
friends of Greece who communicated with him in link-
don, that one of his first objects on assuming the reins d
Government, would be a declaration in behalf of the
English creditors, he has not made a single step towards
the redemption of this pledge :so fur from it. an intrigue has !
been set on foot for inducing the parties to the Treaty of
Intervention, to guarantee a new loan, without bay
reference to the anterior English obligations. After what

this person told those who urged the necessity of doing
justice to tho creditors of Greece in this country, there
is no language sufficiently strong to characterise hie
apathy on the subject. If he has any justification, it is
in the policy of an Administration whose whole object
seems to have been directed to undo every thing which
Mr. CANN ING did, and to counteract all the views of
that clear-sighted Statesman, who dissociated England
from an unnatural continental alliance, and raised her
high out of that degraded abyss, into which she had been
' plunged by the councils of CASTLEREAG II and MET-
TKawicii. I will return to this subject shortly. In the
mean time, I trust I have said enough to convince your
readers, that the paragraph which has elicited these re-
marks, is entitled to no credit whatever. B.

LANARK, JULY 20. His Royal Highness the Duke
de Chartres, his Secretary, General Bois Miloy, and another gm-
tieman, accompanied by Lady Mary Ross, of Bonningion, and
daughters, visited the establishment at New Lanark, in the begin-
ning of the week before last, and went through an the works. He
afterwards visited the mho& rooms, and expressed the highest tads-
faction of the style of dancing exhibited by Mr. Budge's pupal,
which he declared lobe truly Parisian. His Royal Highness mu
particularly delighted with the fans of Bonnlngton and Cortisone',
and the romantic scenery around—with the neatness of the village
—the cleanliness of the work rooms—the modest and healthful air
of the females. with which the establishment abounds, and the
et-
cellent accommodation for both teachers and children in the school

founded by Mr. Owen.
