contain much matter of interest Things
were settling down in Italy much in the way
that was to br expected after the recent ac-
counts, and the London press, in the pay of
corruption, was holding Il jubilee in consc-
quence of the triumph OF the despots. 1t APP
pears that General Pepe, and several of the
patriots, had arrived at Barcelona, in Spain,
when the gallant general Immediately sent
Oh letters to the Neapolitan minister al Ma
drid informing him OF the events that had
taken place.
Accounts had been received from Vera
Cruz, of date the 10th Dec. of an insurrec
ton that had taken place at st. Diego but
which was suppressed by the royal authori-
ties, after several lives had been lost.
Some disturbances had taken place in

down, as an armed force was proceeding
against him.
The msurrec'ion against the Turkish go
Vernment, seems to he every day becoming
more formidable. The Greek nations are
represented TO he ripe for throwing off the
sway OF the Sultan, and forming an intlcpcn-
dent empire Secret societies have been
formed, and their plan extends to Thessaly,

the Islands of the Archipelago sum;

ed, as well as the cockadc, and the Greek
priests appear to be taking n decided part

The first hostile operation of the Greeks
was an attack upon the Castle of Giorgoco,
situated between Bucharest and the Danube
and garrisoned by 5000 Turks. This attack
was made by 900 Greeks, in wild and inn
petuous manner. From the great slperior-
~ IN number, and position of the Turks, sue
cess was impossible, and the Greeks were
all destroyed. But they afterwards attacked
the place with more suitable force, and sue
cccdcd il taking il, and The greatest part of
the Tarks were put TO death by them. 1t is

ed, and delivered mp the castle 10 the Scryi-
ans. The Emperor Alexander, says The Lon
don Morning Chronicle, has, indeed, dis
claimed, in the face OF Europe, all connection
with this Greek iDsurrcction. Those who
are inclined may, if they choose, believe in the
sincerity of this Monarch, and reject the
" current hypothesis" which is rather at yari-
ancc with such notion. We can only 5av.
that passports were readily given by the Rms
sian authorities TO numerous individuals who
repaired III arms to ,Jassy. The population
OF Russia have onSidentified themselves with
tsepopulation ofTurkey protesting the Greek
reiIgIOn. The Russians are extremely ambi-
tons and lanatically attached to their religion,
and from that cause alone they must be dis
posed to render every assistance to the Greeks
which they possibly can. The most abso-
lute Sovereign cannot disregard the passions
and preludices OF d whole people Even sup
posing, therefore, the Emperor Alexander
to have changed his character, and to have
now lost all relish for dcspoiling his weaker
neighbours, we doubt whether it is in his
power to prevent the Greeks from receiving
most material aid from Russia.
ltwould be singular circumstance, If the
spark OF liberty, which has shown itself in the
Turkish dominiOns, and That too among
people hitherto regarded, by thcirneighbours,
as little better than barbsrians, should spread
throughout Europe, and be the means Of sub
vcrtiag the thrones of the Holy despots.
