THE CREEKS

Bells Q-ondon) Weekly Messenger of the 3O,h July
contains the subjoined editorial article. Ii communi
Gates information highly gratifying and important,
the supposition that the writer is mistaken. IL the
Greeks be placed in the situation mentioned they WILL
ere long, exicate themselves entirely from the Turk
ih yoke aud with regard TO Spain, nothing will raise
her from the depths of wretchedness, except better
constitution But it is probable that the cabinet
cs 10 question were chiefly occupied with the internal
condition Of Great Britain. Nat. Gds.
''There have been several Cabinet Councils holden
IN the of this week. and very currently
ported, and very generally believed that they related
to business of great importance aud that, in most of
the subjects Of dscusson ministers have come to
their decision. An unusual effort made procure
the Kings personal presence in of these councils,
and ii is very reasonable inference that the subject
which there discussed was one of unusual conse-
quence Ii impossible TO arrive at any certain par
tculars upon points which the parties concerned are
bound not TO divulge but these meetings must
cessariy be attended and assisted by the Clerks Secre
taries, and other Agents the general circumstances al
least become very shortly known.
One of these subjects has been the affairs of Greece,
upon which II IS at length decided to act in union
The demand for such it is of the European Govern
ments, is we believe, that the Sublime Porte shall
give the Greeks Government established upon the
same general principles with those of Walachia and
oldavia. The Greeks to be allow ed TO nominate their
own prince but who to be subject TO approval reec
ton, and removal, by the Turks. The Greeks to pay
an annual tribute in gross sum- instead of arbitrary
taxes for particular Cities and this tax TO be collected
and assessed under the authority of the Greek Prince
stationed throughout Greece, and where the Turks
in too great number for the peace and good order
town and neighborhood, they may be removed upon
indemnity for their houses and property.
''This is the Constitution of Moldavia, and ii is a
very reasonable conjecture that all the provisions
Will be extended to Greece. 1t is understood that Mr.
Canning is the warm friend of the Greeks, and will
exert himself to do every thing for them which
histent with the two main principles upon which this
question must be determined. No Incorporate and
unnecessary ineposition with the independence of the
Government of Constannople and secondly the pro-
lection of Europe against the eventual ACKNOWLEDGMENT
of Russia, by any future annexation of the Greek Pro-
yinces.
1.-The second subject of the discussion in these Cabi-
net Councils has been the affairs of SPAIN upon which,
likewise, we believe, the British Government has come
TO n resolution to act with definve determination
should remain completely at the mercy of France
at any time TO be incorporated with that monarchy
sufficient time has elapsed establish beyond all
doubt, that the Spanards will peaceaby and tran
gully submit TO the absolute government of Ferdinand
and that 1t is the wish of the Nation 10 have Consti
tutional Government of two Chambers. The example
of the Emperor of Brazil has confirmed the strength of
these arguments, and has rendered no longer poss-
BILE for Ferdinand 10 refuse withhold similar char
ter TO s own subjects, without perpetuating and ex
tending state of anarchy and mis- government which
Europe cannot longer admit Ferdinand however is
still very reluctant to make this concession and very
probably rs endeaYoriDg make an alliance with the
Russian Emperor and Ministry who arc from interest
