CAPTAIN RILEY.


We can scarcely think (says the U,

gotten Captain Riley, and his narrative

scePtics of our acquaintance, that this
gentleman had mingled piece of The
marvellous in his book; and, indeed plain
and every day observation might lead
person TO suppose that the work did
smace little of that quality, which is
SAID to be acquired by traveIliug.--
However, we do not know the man that
would take it upon himself TO DENY posi-
lively the assertions Of a s. Voy aseur,"
and If that cannot be done, the book
ought to be permitted to take its own

COL. sTANHoPE's REPORT ON THE
STATE OF GREECE.
E1tract of letter from the Hon. Col.
Stanh0pe to j. BoWring, Esq.
In order to understand The policy OF
Greece, it is necessary to contemplate
the state Of the Ottoman Empire, and
the views Of Russia, aud the Holy Al
lance.
Turkey is evidently on the eve of
its fall. The reisning family is nearly
extinct. Its provinces are disunited.-
Egypt and Iripoli are grown too wise
for IFS government. A portion of
Greece is severed from it forever, and
the Hellenists, who still bow to the
power of rurkey heaye in their hearts.
and pant for revenge aud freedom
Even Albania detests, and threatens to
throw off its hateful yoke. The Otto
man armies are insubor,iipate, and the
fleets, having lost their Greek sailors,
are become impotent.
RUsslA.-In this state Of lettering
deeripiiude, Turkey is threatened by
the brawpy and disciplined legions OF
Russia, and the swarms OF Persia !;
while on the other hand, she is bolstered
up by those nations who are alarmed at
the ambition and strength Of The north
ern barbariaDs.
Holy ALIIAHcE.-As for the HOLY
Alliance, their views are known. This
corporation Of tyraBts has combined 10
support superstition, 10 crush all learn
ing, and To insure dark fmurity, for
the purpose of preserving 10 themselves
and their progeny absolute rule. Aus
tria and France have, therefore, become
The allies of the barbarians, and have
formed league against ciyilization and
the rights of men. If their policy
succeed they will naturally fall prey
to Russia, the State they have thought
Iessly contributed 10 aSgrandize; or
should it fail, instead Of being satisfied
tn reign as virlnous and powerful Ma
gisirates, these soVereigns will be hmm
bled, and must bow TO the people. The
Holy Alliance having decided in the
Councils Of their gloomy Cabinet, that
al nations should be governed dcspoti-
cally, their intentions towards Greece
are known. Some may derive eonsola-
