While the London papers are filled with
long drawn and pompous accounts Of the
ceremonial lamentations attending the inter-
ment of the late French monarch, they hout
at the celebrations which have accompanied
the Nations Guest in this country Wcprc
sumo then, that it is perfectly legitimate to
lament according to the forms prescribed by
court etiquette for the death OF Il King, and
perfectly illcgitmate to welcome the arrival
OF patriot, unless a precedent can be found
III the monarchcal code tor that purpose
and VIC have no doubt such precedents are
very scarce. One great merit is mentioned
as appertaning to the new monarch, tll;it his
courtiers have been enabled to discover al
ready, he appears to great advantage on
horseback. With regard to the future policy
to be pursued by the present king We are
left no longer to conjecture. He has already
sworn to maintain the French charter; the
hopes then Of the ultra royalists are buried
at least for the life time of the king, unless it
can be proved, what we will not suspect even
of monarchs without proof, that an oath was
made to be violated So far as the measures
of Charles the tenth have been developed
they will be found to be in accordance with
the preservation Of the national charter. He
has made the other members of the royal ia
mily members ofhis council, which prevents
ultra royalists from taking any member of
that family rs their file leader, and arrang-
ing themselves uudcr his standard.
From Russia, we heard nothing except the
ukasc ofthe Emperor Alexander, command
ing aievy OF tworcCrultS out ofcvcry five hun
drcd men, Throughout his dominions--dcath
and discharges from thcold troops are assign
ed as the reasons for this ukaSc. Perhaps
Alexander contcnplatcs something more
than ie"y-hc has been long time in trea-
ty with the Grand Scignorfor the evacuation
Of the two Ottoman provinces OF Moldayia
and of Wallachia. He may intend rupture
with the Turks, at the moment when Tur-
key is making such unprecedented cxcrtions
for the determination Of the Greeks.
The Prussan monarch, in his capacity as
member of the Holy Alliance VIC presume,
has made war on his universities. He has
issued a decree prohibiting any student from
matrculatins who belo IS TO any secret as
sociation, oris connected with any revolution
airy proceedings.
With regard to the gallant Greeks, the
question seems brought to an issue-indepen-
dcnce or determination. Prepared for this
horrible alternative, We hear of four thousand
men embariiiny from Continental Greece to
assist the islanders in the anticipated inva-
sion, and while this is gong on, we heard cf
those islanders themselves setting fire TO their
houses and departing with their property,
their wives, families aud little ones, to the
carcrns in the mountains, and seeking there
an asylum from ther cruel invaders. Such
is the devotion for freedom amongst the de-
scendants OF Leonitias. The Turks effected
a landing ut Samcos, the island on which
such sacrifices had been made by the Greeks
themselves their motions were watched by
the Patriotic fleet The Turkish feet
was attacked in the harbour, by means
of Grecian frcships, and three frig&tcs and
thirty gunboats were destroyed. The Greeks
then descending from their mountain fast
nesses, formed junction with the troops
sent by Continental Greece to their assis-
tancc, and put their enemies to the sword
All the other Grccian islands contemplate
the same mode Of resisting the Turks.
