LATEST FROM GREECE.-The fast
sailing hr Geo P Stevens IN, captain Walk
er, arrived at This port Yesterday in So days
tom Smyrna and so from Gibraltar. 10 the
lit ness Of Mr. LAMBERT Cuttings, super
carcr of the brig, the editors OF the american
are indebted for the following intelligence.
The IMPORT tat hid already r, "a he'd this co"".
cy, of the rejection by the Grand Seisnior oil
the propositiurs made to him By the European
p0Sers, on behalf Of the Greeks, is confirmed;
and II is added that ne sent back the commu-
r!clti n, on the subject unopened, ordering AZ
ihe same time the decapit ton of his S"crcta-
~ for receiving them. 1t appears, howeV'r,
that he had been subsequently, induced to adopt
adiHerent course, and it was generally oeneV-
ed al Smyrna that he was not ony disposed 10
lend favorable car to the propositions oil the
Powers, hot that he would finally accede 10 an
arrangement on the subject. 1t had been ru-
mr,d that the Grand Seiguior had ORDERED
suspension of hcstilitics, but there appeared 10
R no foundation Tor the report-and II way ON
NSnown that he had consented TO treat WIN '"c
Irreks. The Franks under the protection OIL
h' Allied Powers at one time entertained SONS
apprehension for their own safety, but they mao
become perfectly easy, as all apprehension Oh
rupture had subsidized. The nterpositlsn o
me Powers Came at most seasonahle Perio'
i'e the Greeks, as it was believed that wlthou
Nthey could not have continued the struggi'
against the Turkish power. They were mucf
e'Fided amongst themselves. At Napoil, ID
own and castle had fired upon each otner
a n'u The greatest confusion was the consequence
onrins the affair, Lieutenant Washington, Tor
@erly Of West Point, who had recently Joine1

Iago, in a greater or less degree. Their ele.
waited situation affords an opportunity Of over.
oo&ing all vessels bound through, and Of FORM
ing correct idea of their character, armament,
number Of men, &c.-so tina, il is considered
almost impossible for those without convoy to
-seape, if once becalmed. These pirates are
Greeks, who make their attacks in boats con-
tanning soto 100 men each, well armed, which
renders resistance in most cases Of no avail A
pumber OF depredalions had been committed by
them previous to the arrival of the brig at Smyr-
ma July 24.) The sufferers were chiefly Aus
trians and English. The only Amerian vessel
plundered was the brig Susan of Boston, in
Narch last. The cargoes were generally taken
out by the pirates, and the officers and crews,
after being robbed Of their clothes, and whipped
with view TO eXtort a confession oil the con-
cealment OF money, were dismissed with the
empty vessels. An English brig of war, dis
suised as merchant vessel, had succeeded in
capturing some Of the pirates, but upon their
arrival at Malta they were reea ed, and their
boats condemned. Upon subsequent exp"di-
ion the same brig los, 90 or 40 of her men, who
had landed.in pursuit of the pirates and were
fred upon by others concealed behind the
rocks.
The George p Stevenson came down the
Mediterranean under convoy of the slnop Of
War Itarren, Capt, Kearney, all well OFF Mi
10 she gave chase TO and fred upon a boat Of
suspicious appearance. The friga,e ConsiHu-
ton, Capt Patterson, arrived al Smyrna OH the
9Th August, from cruise in the Archipelago
I'll well. OFF Scio, fell in with the U. S schr.
PorDo'se, bound To smyrna, having under con-
roy the ship Augusta and brig Caspian OF Bos
,on. Near the same Island, spoke the sloop Of
war Lexington, bound 10 Smyrna with a convoy,
but did not learn further particulars. The fri
gate JdUa had arrived AT Milo, with the COM
handing officer of the station on board. The
Ontario sloop Of war HAD been sen, in pursuit
Of the brig Deos Of Boston, which had devial-
ed from her convoy. Business at SMYRNA was
du!l--the active Sc ason sets IN about the first OF
September aud continues until the frs, Of May.
Owing TO the heat, but little business is done
during the other four months of the year 1t
was reported AT Smyrna, just before Mr.. G.
left, that fire had occurred at Adrianope, and
a large number Of houses.
French frigale was spoken near Cape Bond,
the officer Of which stated that Algicrs was then
blockaded by eight fr:ga,es and two line of bat
tie ships, but he was not aware of any land
force having arrived. A French frigate was
also stationed off Tunis. Near the entrance of
the Straits, passed Russian'flrei, consisting Of
4 line Of battle ships, frigales and corvetts

"FineSse ''-"A paper in" Richmond (the En-

expressed, week or two ago, our doubts as to
the nomination Of Jackson Electoral Ticket
by majority OF the members OF the Legisia-
ture, and calls il all 'Fincsse The Editors

they are on the summit of Mount Chimberazo
from which they talk in their usual oracular
s,yle They think i, notable offrnce that any
one else than themselves should presume to-
speak Of public sentiment in Virginia. Let
them remember that their anguries have so Of
ten proved fallacious, that The people are less
creduIous than heretofore. Every one recol-
lects how confidently they predicted the cleo.

pass their bold assertions for indications OF
public sentiment; bu, they will find that large,

Statistic d with the present Administration
They need not expect 20 turn into ridicule the
efforts of those who do not choose to gulp
down their political dogmas They will find
"signs" Of character not expected by them;
for l'sere are thousands who arc unwilling to

soo,hsay.rs. And little time will convince
them that the freedom of opinion is not yet
vie up TO The direction Of those who are
constantly vocifcraling Crisis! Crisis! when
there is no crisis. =. r.
The Editors of the Enquirer have wrong in
pressions, when they intimate hat the "Cnn'
vention getting up for Adams" is intended to
"counleract he expected nomination OF the lie
cisla,ure!!" The friends Of the Administration
do not expect to counterfeit such nomination
however much they may wish to defeat The
caucus ticket. Public sentiment is so divided,
that i, is bu, fair and right that there should
be fro tickets presented to the consideration oil
the people.
We have our doubts as to which OF he can
didatcs will receive majority in Virginia
and the Editors fthe Enquirer will Ind IN
due season, that in spite Of their die a, oral
prophesving, doubts and fearful ones, will IN
! wade their own bosoms. Even in the city from
which they issue their mandates, the majority
is against the idol whom they worship win
oilv tongues but insincere hearts; and IN the
mass of the courties of the state, they WIZ ma
too. that thcv have mistaken, the noise OF the
few for the will Of the many. Let the quiet dls
septers from the Jackson creed proceed WIN
their usual calmness and moderation; ana let
them not be deceived by the arrogant as'umP
lions of the Enquirer The Administrator
cause is strong though silent. There is no ne
c..si,v for tumu t; let them march up hrmly
but calmly to their duty; and let them not io'
a moment yield to the belief that their coao
;n,ors are either few or inefficient.
