DAWKIMI, SELATIVE To THIS •111111111C14

" The Provisional G meot of Greece has received the note
which M. Dawkins did it the honour to address to it on t►e 18th
of May, on communicating to it, by the order of his Court, the
Protocol of March 22, signed by the Plenipotentiaries of the
Powers which stipulated the Tteaty of Jaly 6, 1827 ; and pant.
cularly to call its attention to the clause of this Protocol which re•
lates to an Armistice.

" The Resident announces the hope of the Allied Courts that '
they shall learn, agreeably to their wishes expressed in the clause
mentioned below, that the Greek Government will declare a sus-
pension of hostilities, and recall its troops within the territory
plated under the guarantee of the three Powers by the Act of
November 16,_18211.

" The Greek Government must express, before all other things,
the sentiments of gratitude with which it receives, for the first
time, the official communication of the Acts relative to the [me-
anies by which the Allied Corns hope to attain, without delay, the
philanthropic and Christian object which produced the Treaty of
July 6, 1027.
" This communication nevertheless leaves the Greek Govern-
ment still much information to desire which it has not yet received.
It never had any official knowledge of the Note of the Reis Ef-
fendi, of the date of September 10, and on which the hopes of an
armistice appear to repose.
" If this document agrees with that copy of it which private
Inters have communicated, if other nations do not more particu-
larly characterise its nature. the Greek Government cannot see in
the letter of the Reis Effendi anything more than an evasive answer,
by means of which the Porte rejects once more in principle the
mediation offered to it by the treaty of July 6.
" In founding on an armistice de fawn, which in reality is only
a defensive attitude serviceable at pleasure, in declaring on his part,
and on this basis, the cessation of hostilities, the Greek Govern-
ment would Foci itself beyond the reach of the principles laid down
by the Treaty of July 6th, and would, at the same time, contract
an engagement that it might not be in its power to fulfil.
" It is ignorant what territory has been guaranteed by the alli-
ance, seeing that the Protocol of November 16, 1111111, mentioned
by Mr. Dawkins, has never been communicated to it ; but even it
'the communication had been made to it at the time, it would have
supposed itself deficient in good faith and sincerity, which alone
can give it any claim to the confidence of the august Allies, if, in
placing under their eye the real state of things, it had not proved
I to them that it was not in Its power at the end of the last year, as
ft never will be, to transport, by an act of authority, into the
bosom of the Peloponnesian and the adjacent islands, the unhappy
population of the provinces situated beyond the Isthmus of Corinth.
Those provinces, as well as those of the Peloponnessus and of the
islands, have contracted in the day of trial and mistortune the
solemn engagement never to separate their cause. 'Arse engage-
ments are contained in acts clothed with a double sanction—the
sanction of the National Congress, and that which is still more in-
violable, the sanction of oaths.

" The Greek Government, which only holds Its power by these
mine acts, cannot infringe them by establishing a line of separa-
tion between. Continental Greece and the Peloponnesses, while it
is owing to the immense sacrifice made by those countries that the
Peninsula bas been mote than once indebted for its safety. And
even if the Government were arbitrarily to assume this right,
would it have the means of effecting this separation without ex-
posing to fresh catastrophes the people who have hardly begun to
return to their homes, and to look for the same repose as the
Werra enjoys? Thanks to the protection and the ►enefits con-
ferred by the Allies, neither this laws of persuasion nut those of
force could be able to supply it with the means.
The inhabitants of them provinces would reply that the EJ
article of the Treaty of July 6, and the clause of limitation in the
Protocol of March xi, eocourage them to hope that the justice
and magnanimity of. the augu4 Allies would nut abandon them ;
andivbat would it be but to abandon them, without resource, to
force them to forsake the position capable of defence, which they
now occupy?
" Finally, they would reply, that the experience of their long
miseries obligis them to keep firm to their resolution of not hence-
forth'ivitting their native .land or the ruins w►ich they defend

with arms in their bands, except they are oblipd to code to a
superior power.
" In the number of positions which they lately occupied are now
added Vonitza, Lepanto, Missolough', Anatolico. The Mutat:lmam;
who composed the garrison of these places, abandoned to the most
complete destitution by their Government, and deprived of all re-
sources from abroad, by the blockade of the coasts, ask to go back
to their country. But this retreat, far from being followed by
bloodshed and other evils, was effected under the safeguard of con.
ventions, which characterise the moderate and pacific views which
the Givek Government makes it a duty to follow, and which have
obtained for it the great confidence that they infuse into the Mus-
sulmans themselves. The letters which the Pacha of Rowena and
the Pacha of Lepanto have sent to us, on their evacuation of these
places, would furnish an irresistible proof.
" In this state of things, it Is not impossible but that the weak
garrison of Athens, and of two or three othet 'bees included in
the limits sketched out in the Protocol of March 22, would follow
the example of Western Greece.
" But such results the Greek Government would contribute, as
Mutts as lay in its 'poster. to the socceis of the negociatirro ; to •
carry on which, in the name of the three Courts, the Ministers of
Great Britain and France are gone to Constantinople.
" Independently of these observations there are some others,
which it is the duty of the Greek Government to submit to the
consideration of the august Allied Courts on different stipulations
of the protocol of March 22. and particularly those which concein
the indemnity for tie sovereignty.
" Not wishing to delay transmitting this Note to Mr. Dawkins,
it will reserve to a later period their submitting to him its obser-
vations on the powers mentioned above.
" The Greek Government begs Mr. Dawkins to communicate
this answer to the consideration of his Court ; and for our part we
offer him the assurance of our high consideratimi.
Ergina, May 23, lan.
To these documents is subjoined a letter from a venerable
Prelate of Greece, to the former Hospodar of Moldavia, Prince
Michael Soars°, relative to the Protocol. The Prince commu-
' nicated it to M. Eynard, who hastened to publish it. The fol-
lowing la itadf an extract of the letter :—The Prelate says, "that
the knowledge of the Protocol of May 29th has carried desolation
into all hearts. Yesterday the certainty of political independence
ennobled the souls of the Greeks—today this sentiment is branded,
and we again see ourselves in some measure the subject of our op-
pressors. The people place all their hopes and their faith in his
Most Christian Majesty. To leave the Turks in come:ion with
the Greeks would be to devote Greece to all the evils from which
it has been snatched. The entire and complete separation of the
countries is the only means of securing our tranquillity and that of
Europe. I cannot believe that the fate of our country is yet fixed
by the Protocol, and I hope Mentz Pitomance will yet offer to
these Sovereigns, full of clemency, the means of accomplishing the
work they proposed.—" Nauplia, June 18."

MADRID, JOLT 16.
A Spanish Me:lean Company has just offered to the Government
175 millions of francs, for the special purpose of covering the ex-
peaces of an expedition to Mexico, composed of 12,000 infantry
and 2,000 cavalry, and a suitable train of artillery. This Company
consents not to receive the repayment of the sem it advances
except in Mexico, from the produce of the countries recoaquered,
with interest at the rate of 6 per cent. till the payment of the prin-
cipal ; but the lenders will resume of right the possession of such
of their property as shall be reconquered, and for which the Go-
vernmeot shall not be entitled to require from them any indemnity.

The accounts received to-day from Marseilles and Toulon leave
no doubt that the commission of M. de la Bretonniere is to bombard
Algiers. On the 7th inst. a Dutch corvette sailed for Algiers, with
orders to take on board the Consul of that nation ; all the other
Consuls are likewise going to leave the city for fear of the
bombardment. However, the Dey does not seem disposed to
submit. It is pretended that there is a weak point at which the
bombardment is possible, but this opinion Is not generally enter-
tained. The Dey appears to trust for his defence to the one thou-
sand two hundred pieces of cannon which line his ramparts. How-
ever this may be, when it was known at the beginning of July.
before Algiers, that six Algerine vessels were at sea, and had ap-
peared on the coast of Sicily, M. Latreyte, who at that time had
the command, dispatched the Thetis frigate and a brig, with orders
to sail along the &titian coast. The ships that remained to combine
the blockade weft the Iphigenla, the Priserpioe, and the Duchene
de Berri frigates; and the Curieux and Alerte brigs. M. de 1..
Bretonniere must have arrived there since with the Provence. of
the line. We do not know what be will obtain by the projected
bombardment. It la certain, however, that hitherto the blockade
has produced only a great waste of money, fatigues, and useless
dangers.
The following letter, written from a French port, contains inte-
resting particulars concerning the effects of the blockade, and the
situation of our sailors who are prisoners :
" Seven Frenchmen, who were prisoners at Algiers, have just
been restored to liberty.
" Some days after the festival of Bairam, the Dey of Algierls, on
the solicitation of the Sardinian Consul, consented to set at liberty
seven French prisoners; and as there were 44 of them, it was ne-
eesstry to draw tau. One billet was made fora Captain. one for
an odcer, and bee for private sailors. Those whom fortune
favoured returned to France by Toulon, and the following particu-
lars have been communicated by them.
6- The French prisoners at Algiers are not very unfortunate.
thanks to the Sardinian Consul and his lady. a native of Odessa, a
woman of great merit, and extraordinary benevolence. She and
her husband have done the greatest services to our poor country-
men. They are lodged in a building which makes a pan of the
Bagnlo at Algiers ; but are not mixed with the criminals.
" The Dey's menagerie Is separated from it only by a court *aril,
and the roarings of thirty boos and tigers often disturb thens
in the night. The ration given them by the Dey's order. con-
si.ts of four small loaves, scarcely sufficient to keep them from
starving ; but each of then" receives besides, by tie care of the
Sardinian Consul, a small sum, in proportion to his rank, Which
enables them to purchase the other necessaries of life, and provi.
sions are cheap at Algiers. As for the moral effect produced by
our blockade on the Dry, mid the Inhabitants in general, it
cannot be said to be very great, and certainly this measure will our
suffice to obtain the satisfaction required by France. In feet, nkr-
chantmen frequently enter and leave the port of Algiers, notwith-
standing the blockade ; and if the Algerines have not equipped sod
sent out a greater number of corsairs, it is not from the dilloulty
of sending theni to sea, hut of bringing back their prizes la safety.
Hitherto the Solitaire brig is the only French vessel which they
have succeeded In bringing to Algiers, and it seems certain that it
got in under a neutral Bag. At present there are at Sake two
French ships, which have long since been captured, and a third in
the Balearic islands. They dare not put to sea, for fear of being
retaken. The Algerines confess however, that while their poet
was blockaded by the Engli.h, it was next to impossible for the
smallest boat to go out, Amain the men of war remained at anchor
near the entrance of the port. Our snips, on the contrary.' ire

calms-and the violent north winds, which render the blockade et

politan Consuls have been on the point of settling the dgferentes
between France and the Dry, but that the English Comet bad
always prevented it, by advising the latter not to yieM. This,
however, is only a report in the town. the teeth of which unapt
