Shaken from their lethargy at the view of all this, our Ministers,

St. Petersburgh is too much for the Cabinet of St. James's; and

it seeks, in a reliance on France, to repair the evils of It's vadila-

Tanis, Moldavia, Bessarabia, Wallachia, and perhaps Bulgaria,
will only more certainly secure the total destruction et
the Turkish power; for, gathering forces upon these points,
establishing magazines, employing bribery through emissa-
ries, and fomenting mischief with both Greeks and Turks, the
power of Russia, within five years, will be enabled to attain Con-
stantinople almost without resistance.

possessions on one side, and their safe-guard frontier on the abet—

key—or the erection of the old Greek empire under independent
masters, protected by France and England—can alone rescue that
country from Russian conquest.

The Courrier de Smyrne—upon which, by the way,
we do not place a great deal of reliance—of the 27th
June, informs us that the English naval officer, Captain
HANCHETT, who was said to join the service of the
SULTAN, and about whose identity there has been a
controversy between some of the London and Provincial
Papers, has not been able to agree with the Minister of
the Porte on the terms of his appointment ; and is conse-
quently on the eve of returning to England. Captain
HANCHETT was at Smyrna on the 27th June ; at which
time the regular troops at that station, about 1,500 in
number, had received orders to go to Constantinople.
The following are selections front the German and
Smyrna Papers received this day :

CANEA, Jam 11.

The seetet object of the President of Greece, fa his isseassres
with regard to this island, is to cause such diScukiee 'sod ember•

rassments that the Allied Powers, being tired out with the eternal
confusion, may at length coocede,what he cannot obtain otherwise.
Unhappily be is but too successful in rendering the unhappy ekes.
tics of the island more complicated. The French brig Alcyone,
Lient.Duboriiieu, is come to relieve the Volage. The Commander,
like his predecessor, desired to have a conference with Captain
Hann, the Delegate of the President of Greece to the Council of
Crete. This conference took place on the Bth, in the villaig of
Callen. The French Commander announced the speedy arrival
of the ffinglish Ambassadors at Constantinople, by whom die fate
of Crete wodld be determined, and that a cessation of hostilities
was 'such tsi be desired. Capt. H. replied, that it was not is his
power to mate any engagements on this subject ; that the Greeks
were under several Chiefs, who carried on war on their own ac.
count, and-likened to his remonstrances only when they approved
them; that ab armistice was not desirable for the interests of the
Greek insurgents, because only the contest preserved in them the
love of their country and of liberty.
Joie 18.—The remonstrances of the officers sent successively to
this station by Admiral Rommel, appears to have had an effect ;
the bloodshed has ceased i • an armistice, *facto, exists ; 'ld, though
the two parties retain their positions, sense cansneedeinions take
place betyreen them which maltase less acrimony than usual, and
rather a ;wish Go both sides far a reconciliation. Count Capo
d'lstria, however, has hitherto replied to positive proposals by vague
declaration only. Sulliman Pacha requested the Commander of the
Akyone to invite the Upper Greets to go to the several cities of Crete
'to trade, and to procure the provisions which they cannot get in their
mountains. He promised them entire security. These henchmen of-
ten were laid before theCoupcil of Crete. A Puha answered, " The
Cretans want for nothing. Greece supplies them with all things in
abundance. They cannot and will not conclude any arrangement
with the Turks. They have taken up arms to conquer their free-
dom, and will never lay them down again. They will sooner die
than yield. If they have no bread they will feed on the roots
which grow. on their mountains." This is net the sr't time that
the Council of Crete has held this language. The mission of the
French Olken is embed to attempts to effect a recoociliation,
and has already dose much good. Fort Caraboosa I. commanded
by H. Fooche d'Aubigny, a French Officer in the Greek service.
