Though the Cambran took decisive and
active part IN the dellverance of the garri-
son of Napoli di Romania, we ought to
render all the justice which belong tn them
10 several Greek officers Of the land and
sea service. Weattest that they merit the
greatest praise, for they employed Sue
cessfuiIy, all their means 10 rcpress the
excesses of that numerous crowd of armed
men. who were furious and eager for pill
Gage. and in this extraordinary state of ai.
fairs there is scarcely victim whose loss
we have to dcplore. In the number of
chiefs of which we have spoken we name
the folIowing-Siacio who sealed the for
tress, Tombasi and Maui both from Ivy
dra, Cagiani and LaZuro, both from Spec
zia. Monarchide from Ipsaria, Petimezza,
chief of the Moriot troops, Nichita re-
nOwned for his dsnterestcdncss, and CO.
locotron, who conducted very differently
at Tripolitza. The capture of Napoli di
Romania renders to the Greeks several
thousand men. One body of them occu-
pies the isthmus Of Corlnth. Ii has been
intended to send troops to Missolong,
where general Mavrocordato was shut up
with three thousand men. Many iudicions
people have looked TO this general as the
most proper person on more than one ac-
count, for the head Of the government, but
Prince lpsilant is supported by party
which he has in the army. The defence
of Napoli di Romania is to be entirely en-
trusted to the islanders, VINO will naturally
lind II their interest to guard it well. 1t is
calculated that 500 men are sufficient 10
fulfil this design, by forming garrison for
this place. Thus there are remaining in
The hands of the Turks in the Morea, only
Patras, Corinth, Koron aud Modon.

Blackwood's Magazine has always been
remarkable for lis adherence to tory doc
triues. The light in which 1t regards the
approaching contest on the continent, is
good evidence Of the feeling of The gov
eminent party, towards Spain. The fol
lowing extract on this subject is worthy of
attention on many accounts--it is an ex-
nmple of intense feeling, forcibly express
ed equal to any thing of the kind we have
seen.
A republic in Spain viii seek its fellow
in "a republic in Italy. With Spain and
Italy revolunonized, how long will France
remain tranquil. How long will Germany,
already heaving, lie repining and murmur-
Ing, before ii bursts into resstIess storm ?
When these things come, what will be the
fate of England? Is there, even now, no
secret transit for the revolutionary stream

pursue this topic no further. Deus opcrtut.
And ii is beyond all denll, that the whole
continent is at this time in a state If inter
nal CONFUSION ]; that like the Spirits II
PandamOnlum. there is among the more
powerful minds of Europe a scuse OF loss
and defeat, desperate loss of fierce Ia
zards--a wild and fiery dream of rebel
grandeur, to be won by force OF arms. The
Frenchman, cast on the ground by fortune
ofwar, feels his hostility to thrones unex
tinguished the German, who fought for
his country under the promise Of a consti-
tuition, feels his hopes defeated; the Italian,
proud of his ancient memoirs and lung ten
thousand fathoms deep from The late ideal
independence, feels and ggoans The Pole,
loaded with the Russian fctter, fess & cur
SEES his degradation. TAransh the whole
circuit of the continent there IS bat one
preparation, great and terrible, for catas-
trophe, Of which no man cao calculate the
horrors of the close. The field IS snwu
with the serpent teeth Of bitterness, ruined
ambition and inYetrrate discard. Are we
to see it send up its harvest of the spear
The thrones Of the Continent stand at this
hour in a mighty cementery. 1t is in the
will of God whether the dead shall be ad
ded to the dead, and the nations melt away
or whether the trumpet shall sound, the
graves be broken up, and all bc terror,
Judgment and ruin.
