GREEKS AND TURKS.

1NEEhS AND IORkS.
The following article, from the London Sur
OF the goth of May, is of very high impur
lance, If true and that there is some folnda
ti"n for the assertions, We can entertain but
little doubt. The editor of paper so res.
pectable as the Sun, would hardly stake his
character upon a question Of this moment
unless he had some assurances upon which
he could depend
We some time since informed our read
ers that the Independence and repOse OF
Greece WAS under the serious consideration
of the Grea, Powers. We are now enabled To
rciierate, in the shortest terms, the assurance,
that all the Great Cabinets are firmly resolv-
ed that the sanguinary state of affairs in the
east of Europe shall be speedily terminated,
aod that they all concur in the desire TO see
the Greeks established 10 the enjoyment of
that independence which they have SO nobiy
mrritrd by their perseverance, their sacrifices
and their herOism. Under this feeling i; is with
reluctance, and only on the pressing represent
fstiOns and circumstances Of the Porte, that
the Great Cabinets have agreed to await the
issue of this-the fourth campaign, which,
however. they have deinitivey resolved shall
be The last /; and unless the Turks therefore
should he infinitely more successful than their
most sanSulno friends will venture TO antici
pate, the great question which Is to determine
the late of the most interesting portion Of Eu-
rape may be considered rs having been alrea-
dy decided by the ,alor of its inhabitants All
The accounts are highly favorable to tbs Greek
cause-particularIy as the catastrophe al Cairo
has totally incapacitated The Pacha Of Egypt
from giving any support 10 the Ottoman
arms. even surprising him to be so inclined.
The blockade of Algiers is also a most favor
able incident for the Greeks and for the cause
OF civilization and humanity and our readers
are aware that very powerful farce is pre-
paring both 1T Chatham and Sheerness, for
Inc s'ormiDg of that strong hold Of the Alge-
rae pirates. Both the Pacha of Egypt and
Inc Dey Of Algiers are therefore completely
raraiysed; and it is we'll known thai the Porte
nse'i 'aoo's under the GREATEST difficulties from
HE want OF money. In addition To these
gratifying facts, for the accuracy of which we
pledge ourselves, we have the satisfaction to
assure our readers that there is not the slight
est foundation for the aliedgpd promise said
10 have been given by Lord Strangford to the
Divan, for The recall Of the British officers
who are serving in the ranks of the Greeks.
The Porte, therefore having already failed
IN three successive campaigns, which have on
iy increased the strength, enlarged the resOur-
ces, and enhanced the glory of its active and
interchangeable enemy, can have no rational hope
OF acquiring any successes in the present cam
paisn, ON which it enters with diminished pow
or and exhausted resources, that would jus,i
lynn seeking 10 Continue those scenes OF car
mage which nave already been so revolving to
the best feelings Of all Christendom."
In confederation Of this article, we find a
Statement IN another paper, that the Great
toDgress, which was to have taken place, to
tax" the affairs of Greece into consideration,
will b' deferred until after the result of this
fourth campaign.
