We omit several aticles Of interest to
make rosm for the following interesting
Letter on the subject of Greek affairs,
from the pen Of DIR. Howe. This l,ttet
puts us in possession ni various details
which have not been furnished rs through
any other channel and il they do not
reach to so lale period az the accounts re-
cstv.d by the public Journals, the incts
communicated by tins gentleman may he
relied on as far as they reach. We regret
so perceive that the tone OF this lcttel Is
less cheerful on the subject of the ultimate
SUCCESS OF the Greeks than that of d..
H0we's previous communications and
that be- confirms the lrars We have some
times yentured To throw out, that there Ii
wsut of union OF principle and purpose
amnngst the Greeks, from which more
evil IS 20 be- dreaded than from their open
enemies. The length Of tins ieeer, howe
yer, precludts any lurtter r0mnegt:
