GREEK AFFAIRS.

l..
Reports are CURRENT that the Turko-
Egyptian fleet has arrived safe in the
Gulph of Coron; and ths, the Gree ks
had no opportunity TO assaii tacm with
their lire ships, although they concen-
traIed Tor The purpose off the coast OF the
Morea. A Genoa article of the Goth
Oct. says:
"The impossibili,y of saving Greece
by arms, chiefly on account OF the inter-
ma dlssenslons, has induced CClocotro-
nj to propose to Ibrahlm pacha to di-
vide Greece into four provinces, each Of
which should have a Greek Hospodar
nominated by the Sultan, 10 whom an
annual tribute shou!d be paid, &C. lora-
him is said 10 have answered that he had
no Instructions on the subject, and tina,
he would transmit this proposal to Con-
stanIinople and to Alexandria.
Nevertheless, hosuliiies were not sus-
pended. Ii Is now asserted that the
answer of the Vceroy oil Egypt has been
favorable, which has not hindered him
from sending to The Morea an expedition,
which is still stronger than those III a,
have preceded it. 1t may be readily
ioreseen what answer will be given by
the Divaa at Constanunopie.

seem exp sed.
II, then, they are exposed to natural

moral evil for we are assured from the
goodness oil COP, that he won Id not per.

This opinion is Strengthened by the

Pet. i'll. l3. Now, these new heavens
and this new earth are put in contrast
with the old; but if righteousness dwelt
in the old heavens and earth, (that is the
Present heavens and earth,) there would
be no contrast; and Peter looked for Just
such ne7o heavens as the old ones we're
Besides, if the old ones were herfeet,
what need oil their being dissolved Who
ever dreamed that the heaven which is
the abode OF the blessed, is ever 10 be
dissolved But as these visible heavens
are 10 be dissolved, il seems to indicate,
that they aud their Inhabitants are imper-
feet.
The whole passage of scripture refer
red TO above, reads thus:
Verse 10. But the day OF the Lord will come
as a thief IN the night in the which the hea-
yens shall pass away with great noise, and
the elements shall melt with tervent heat. the
earth also and all the works that are therein
shall be burnt up.
Verse Is. Nevertheless we, accordiag to his
Promise, look for new heavens and new earth,

Inc hromtse here referred to, is pro.
baby thai contained in the 65th chapter
and 18th verse OF Isaiah:
For behold, create ne7p heqvens and new
earth and the former shall hot be remember
ed, nor come INTO mInd
And the 2 LIST verse of the next chap
ter intlms'es that the nez, heavens and
earth shall remain far eUer. As they
ere 10 be the abodes OF perfect felicity
there will be no need oil their being dis
solved.
Bot that the inhabitants Of the planets
are not given up as irro,sievably lost,
ly evident from the good which they Ger

o. this we can, with certainty, know but
little But II is known, that, in addition
to The light Of the sun, Jupiter, which is
vastly larger and more distant from the
sun than this earth, has four moons, or
satellites; and Saturn, which is sill, fur

FOR THE SPECTATOR.
THE SPECULATOR-NO. II.

THE SPECCLATOR-NO. IL.
| shall now undertake TO sheg the
great probability that The planets IN the
solar system are inhabited by beings OF
a corfoFeai as well as Shirituat ma ure !;
and that they are neither perfectly holy,
like the angels, nor irreciaimaby or II
retrieyab!y wick ed, like the devils.
That they have bodies as we'll as spr-
lis, think is evident from heir having
material, local place Of residence: for II
would seem unnecessary Tor pure spirits
10 be furnished with material globe 10
dwell Cd. What we know of angels add
devils, is drawn from the bible; il which
angels are represented as traverslng the
air, or the space betwlXt the earth and
heaven, on errapds OF mercy; but as
having their residence, i! may SO speak,
in heaven. The devil, on the ther hand,
is called "the prince OF the power OF
the air." but is represented as having,
or about to have, his residence in worse
place. Therefore these planets cannot
be supposed to be the residence oil either.
The most rational supposiion is, that
they are inhabited by race of beings
composed of some kind o bodies, Il do
not say like ours, and spirits.
That they are no perfectly holy, in
fer from this: They seem to have pro-
portion of evil in their circumstances as
we'll as we. The same sun gives them
light and heat; and we know that the
half Of plane, which is opposite to the
SUP, is dark, like our earth at Dght.-
Any person may be convinced thai this
is the case with the moon, by noticing II
in It's first or last quarter, when the dark
side is mostly towards US; especially
the first time he sees the new mooa,
when he can see the dark side OF II so
plainly, as 10 distinguish its shape. This
indistinc, light on the dark side OF the
moon, is no doubt earth-hgh, or the re-
Election of the earth on the moon; aud
on the bright side we see that part OF the
moon where it is daylight. Now the
exterior planets, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn,
sc. (lf viewed through telescope) have,
in the course Of their revolutions, all the
appearances of the moon. Like her
they wax and wane. But The interior
planets, Mercury and Venus, being be
tween us and The sun, never get opposite
the sun, SO as 10 shew full face, when
viewed through telescope.
As, then, they are dependant on the sun
for light, so are they, no doub, tor heat
If this be granted, it is presumable that
they are sometimes too cold aud some
tunes too warm for comfort. They have
their tropical, their temperate, and their
polar regions. They have their sum
mer and their winter, their day and their
night; and j, is impossible to suppose
tina, their temperature is always equable,
Now, if any one given degree OF heat is
more agreeable to their inhabitants than
another, they must have. to say the least,
degrees OF heat and cold, which are not
so agreeable as might be. Here, then,

EUROPEAN AFFAIRS.

Ell ROPEAN AFFAIRS.
English and French papers TO seve-
raj days IN December have been receiv-
ed in New-York and here. But the
room occupied by home affairs will not
adm, oil oopious extracts from them.
We can say, summarily, that no events
Of much political importance had occur
red in Europe-the peace OF which con-
tioued TO appear permanent. But great
fluctuations were continually occurring
in the money and fiscal concerns of the
Govern ments and individuals, and much
apparent distress experienced by almos,
every class Of spectators. Bubbles
were frequently bursting. NeverIhe-
less, Commerce appeared TO be flourish
ing, Agriculture improving, Manufac-
lures and all the Arts extending, Pub
lie Improvements multiplying; and the
pursuits Of comfort, pleasure and amnse-
ment increasing in extent and elasticity.
OF Greek affairs very little was said,
and that little was wholly COME tursl
and unofficial. 1t was well ascertained
that heavy expedition from Egypt
against the Greeks was on its passage,
aud the hope was not abandoned tha'
the fire ships Of the latter would ye,
