| The silence OF the letters from Smyrna on
the subject of the invasion Of Samos, is ac-
counted for by most important information
which has been received this day in a letter
from Leshors, dated on the 18Th September,
and On which the utmost re.iaocc may be re.
posed. This letter advises the "rti,al at Genoa
OF a vessel from Na,ar'oo, with letters dated
| in that place ON the 3isi If August, which
state that the Captain Pacha had succeeded
in landing asbody Of his troops in Samos,
without any opposition from The inhabitants,

General La Fayette, who is travelling in
the United States, is every where received
with the same enthusiastic welcome which
marked his landing on the American shores.
The public prints of that country which we

large portion of their columns to the details OF
his interesting journey land the deep feeling
OF patriotism and JOY which his preser ce in

pear romanticaly intense, must afford the vet

which monarchs might envy, and is highly
honourab!e TO American character We
should think little indeed of any country that
could forget the services of an early and disln-
terrsted friend-and he toe, foreigner: and
we should, perhaps, better compliment free
people by considering such dennonsrra-

course than holding 1t up example ofpat

We like much the following observations
from London Evening paper. They do.
not exactly chime with those of the Courier.
| LA FAYETTE.
We would not compare Lafayette's re-
ception in America TO The visit Of his majesty
to Ireland because the Irish were g.ateful by
anticipation, and the Americans by recollec-
ton and every one knows that the expecia.
tons of favours to come is the warmest and
most uproarious sort Of gratitude. Neither
could we compare it 10 the duke Of Bucking-
hams tour, in which he has hOnored the ives
tern isles by his presence'-as ii is written in
the Scotch and English papers because La
Fayette is not so great man as the duke,
having meyer been any more than marquis
"a title which he had renouBced (no doubt,
because he did not feel himself worthy of n,)
never having been knight of the most nobls
order OF the garter, nor proprietor of boroughs,
| nor the patriarch Of tribe of place holders,
nor any thing more than an honest, able and
courageous man, who from youth to age has
devoted himself steadily to what he conceves
10 be the Improvement of mankind, spending
fortune, health, comfort, ease and RECEIVING
nothing IN return but the appreciation Of his
conscience, and Of Theses who think well oil
him--sowlng and reaping not; a course Of
conduct very abhorrent from the notion Of
greatness.
Still in his little way Lafayette may be
proud of bis reception in America. Nearly
fity years ago, when a young man, he deyot-
ed himself, with his fortune to the cause OF
