From the items OF news received from
London and PARIS, by the ship james Cropper,
1t appears that Greece is still struggling
through every difficulty with determination
worthy her ancient glory. What result will
be produced by the rumored application to
EnSland,it would not be easy to tortell. France
already shews symptoms Of llistrust and alarm
and we are glad Of it. If the Holy Alliance
were to look on with indifference, we should
have serious fears that nothing so auspicious
10 Greek liberty could be in az itation. We
wait with anxiety for further atlyccs, for, what
course may be adopted by the wary Ministry
IS tar beyond our guess. With our present
Knowledge Of affairs, we have 10 doubt that it
would be the true policy of the British govern
mentto guaranty the indcp endcnce Of Greece ;.
and thereby detach thatbfave people at once
from the tyranny OF the Turks, and the CO.
vernments of the European continent. A
conneAion might thus be formed, which would
greatly enhance the commercial prosperity OF
Great Britain, and give her efficient aid in fl-
ture contests. That it would also be mate
rial benefit to the Greeks there can be no
doubt.
We are compelled to remark, however, that
the news from Smyrna is of a very different
aspect, and presents most gloomy picture of
the present situation of the Greeks. We
know not which to believe.

she is copered over shealhing of felt,
and her beams are placed SO close to-
gether that they are tightly cauiked both
inside and out. These three ci-cum-

Georgia Eiection.-The result of the
warmly contested election for Governor
OF this STATE, is yet problem ical. The
returns, which are from So counties, are
unofficial, and not, perhaps, to be relied
on, as regards the precise number OF the
specified majorities for either party
From a comparison of the statements
received, there is a majority in the above
counties, of about 600 in favor of Troup
Seven counties remain to be heard from.
The Milledgeville Recorder supposcs
Troup may be elected by a majority OF
500. The Savannah Georgian thinks
his majority may be from 700 to 1000 !;
and the Georgia pa,rio, considers the
result yet doubtful. OF the IS counties
heard from, Clark has maJorilies i'll 50,
