GREECE.

The Dairo de Roma of the % July, states
that some Of Lord Cochrane's steam vessels
had arrived, and that he was appointed COM
mander-in-c chief of the Greek fleets.
10 Greek vessels, and forty fire ships,
were assembled at Hydra, waiting the arri-
val of Lord Cochrane, i'll order to proceed To
sea.
A letter from Trieste, Of the 9th of July,
says
"There are still sad divisions among the
Greek leaders; but am happy to say that
the ship-owners are cordially disposed to co
operate with Lord Cochrane. They have
altogether, 235 sail. independent OF the pirat-
ical vessels, the owners of which are declar.
ed by the Government of Napsli traitors tc
the statc). The number ofguns which they
carry is only four hundred, as some have on
" one gun, and others only muskets' but the
crews consist of upwards of IA, 900 fine sea
men, many of whom being tlrausnted into
Lord Cochranc's ships. viii do much cxecu-
tion."

lhc present number commences the 4th
volume of the Wilmingtonian; and with it,
we present to our patrons and friends, our
warmest thanks for the support which has
been contributed towards it in bountful
patronage Three years have elapsed since
the publication of this paper first commenc-
ed, and with the exception OF one calamity
our course has been prosperous and uninter-
rupted. We have been beset and in slight
degree annoyed by uncharitable designs ma
infested by our cotemporary brethren of the
craft, it is true; but calumny has been rcpel-
led by contempt-injury has been avertcd by
toresight-and the jealous are lef, to feed
upon their ruling passion. If their conduct
has had effect in either way, the result has
been to oar advantagc.-The noble soul is
ever ready to befricod the prosecuted. We
are firm as rock, and our friends will be
friends still.
We cannot let the occasion slip of iceine
the somewhat dormant memories of our
third friends; who, in spite OF all our hintine,
will forget the Printers dues. We have n
large number of small sums remaining due
to US throughout the country, out of our i'm
mediate reachJ which we feel extremely
anxious to collect-not only to collect, but to
apply to our own benefit. Winter is an.
preaching, and we must prepare to lay in
our paper, ink, wood, &c. for the season. as
well as to defray our current expenses; but
this we cannot do without these little SIMS.
aad certainly, since now that the subject is
agaiTsresh in their minds, they will not de.
lay to enclose the needful, directed to us by

FROM MEXICO.

We have been favoured, says the Wash
ington Journal, with letter received i'll this
city, from gentleman in Vera Cruz, dated
August oath. We learn from the letter, that
at Vera Cruz it is thought probable that an
attempt will be made to release Cuba and
Porto Rico from the Government of Spain,
'by the establishment of government foun-
ded on liberal principles. and guaranteed by
Columbia, Mexico, and the other free Spanish
American States. Security in the slave pro-
perty will be the first consideration" Com
Porter has entered upon the full discharge
ofhs official dnties.as "Commanier-in-ch chief
OF the department and Squadron" The Ma
val Administration of Mexico is quite differ
ent from ours: it is divided into two depart
ments, East and West, or rather Atlantic
and Pacific.
The duties of Com. Porter are of mix
ed character. somewhat like that of Secreta-
ry Of the Navy and Commander of the Squad
ron. There are juntas to attend to duties
similar to those of our Navy Commissioners
at which he presides. He has also the i'm
mediate suberintendence of Navy Yards and
the regulation of the ports in the Gulf; the
harbour masters being officers of the Navy
and also under his command.
The Condtrador General is an officer tha
answers. in some respects, to the Fourth Au
ditor of the Treasury, and stands at the heat
ofthe pursers department, who are all callet
Contractors: he is also in the character of Ma
Wy Agent, and is member of the Economi
cal Junta, or what may be styled Navy Com
missioners. This affords sort of outin
OF the Mexican Naval establishment.

LATEST FROM EUROPE.
LATE AND IMPORTANT FROM ENci.ANr


.Me7v York Seht o6.-The packet ships
Leeds, Stoddart, and Florida, Tinkham, ar
rived here yesterday from Liverpool. BY
the former, says the Gazette, we received
London papers to the 23d. and Liverpool to
the 25th. of August, inclusive, and by the
latter, London to the 18th. and Liverpool to
the Goth. The most important intelligence
by these arrivals is the stoppase of the in
tercourse between the United States and the
West India Colonies. BY the Orders in
Council on this subject, it appears that the
prohibition is to take place from and. after
the trst of December next. We observe
that Canada and the Provinces of Nova
Scotia and New Brunswick are not included
in the prohibition.
The London Courier remarks, relative to
this matter as follows:--"The interruption
OF this trade with the United States, which
is thus forced upon us by the continued refu-
sal OF the American government to place our
ships engaged IN that trade, upon the foot
ing OF the most favoured nation in the ports
in the u. States,is, we conceive, a fortunate
event for British shipping, which cannot
but receive encouragement from the inter-
ruption of the trade now carried on in Amer
ican bottoms, and with cargoes from the u
States.
ITO the countries in the north of Europe
which possess, in common with our North
! American provinces, the means of supply
ing the wants OF our West India Colonies, il
-four, slaves and lumber, and which are will.
ling to trade with those colonies upon term.
which the United States decline; this intel
ligence cannot fail to be highly interesting
and important.

We leave, perhaps with indifference, Ger
tainly with no very poignant regrets tne
comforts and the endcarments OF home. IN
pursuit of some fancied or real good. Ea-
gerly we pursue the new path, and the new
scenes, and ardcntly embrace and ENJOY the
novel pleasures, and diversified situations
and incidents of travel. But all these are
transient. They make the spirits sparkle
and effervesce without permanently heatihg
or rousing them. They attract, and amuse'
and please, and interest for time. Ihey
are then passed by and LETT behind us, and
are forgotten in the hurry and bustie' and
succession of incidents-thrown, among O.
sher lumber, in the store house OF memory,
20 bc called by accident or design, at some
distant day. But in the intervals, there is
ycarniug after home-atter old scenes and
old friends. Long associated places. and
pcrsons. and thoughts, and enjoyments, rise
before the eye of thought with augmented
interest; and every successive removal adds
increased weight to our regret. We teel
that though the ties which twined around
our hearts in innumerable folds, and bind us
to home, are by long habit and uninterrupt-
ed wear, unfelt and unheeded. Yet, when
VIC are compelled to leave the spot to which
they attach us, at every step they draw
tighter and more accutely the fbres of the
heart. admoushing us of the strength and
multitude Of the cords that retains us.--And
strong must be that sense of duty, or that
fortitude of error, which can render US in
sensible to the hold they have upon US; nigh
ty the effort and stout the heart, which could
sever them at once and live. And if, my
dear, the disappointments abroad and the
vexations experienced on returning home,
have taught you, by contrast, the value Of
what is truly excellent and endearing in a
comfortable hope, ESQ that am able to pay
the money borrowed from Old Gripus,
for the journey,) shall never regret that
you have this season "BEEN IN THE couN-
