1t is said that brig belonging to the Egyp-
tan Pacha, which sailed from Modem, with Il
cargo of Greek slaves had been taken by u
Russian frigate. Two other vessels of the
Pacha had shared the same fate.
GREECE.
It seems that conspiracy against the lif
of the President has been foiled in Greece"
and that the recent successes of the RUSSIA
have raised the tone of the Greeks. An a.
ticle dated Smyrna June 18th, says the COun'
Capo D'Istra will be obliged to have recours
to more energetic measures to govern the
Greek nation, especially since the discovery
of the conspiracy of COlocotroni, who has
been arrested with 25 of his accOmplces.-
The President, while he was at Paros, gave
formal audience to the Greek bishops sent
by the Sultan to propose an amnesty, and dis
missed them with an admOnitiOn to leave the
Greek territory, because their addresses, in
which they call upon the people to return to
their obedience to the Porte, cannot be tole
rated by the Greek Government.
SCIo, June 8.
Reports are still spread that the Greeks
intend to attempt another landing on this isl

$4,000, are hereby kept in the greatest alarm
The town remains deserted and empty.
as it was before, though the inhabitants agai'
beg i'm to collect in the villages. Last month
the Governor received firman, in which h
was ordered to pull down the town to the dis
lance of so fathoms beyond the moat and
he was informed at the same time, that sur
veyor and 1000 wOrkmen had been sent to
erect new works. The garrison at prespn'
consists of 5000 men, of whom 1000 are
regular troops, the others Rumelots. All the
Asiatic troops have returned TO the continent.
The French papers of Sunday state conf
IDENTITY that $4,000 men are to be despatched
immediately to compel Ibrahim to evacrate
the Morea. France is SAID to take this step
at the request of the Emperor of Russia, &
it is added is to cooperate with naval force,
so that the three powers are still represented
as acting 10 concert. Such step would great
ly add to the embarrassment of the Sultan
and probably hasten his submission.
The French expedition to the Morea, it is
said, will set sail on the 18th inst. and the
troops composing it are to embark on the
5th. The Constitutional calculates on the
advantage to be derived by France from ha-
wing an army on the spot, in order to secure
something for herself in partition of the Of
toman empire, which is likely to take place
This is speaking out at least, and if such be
the sentiments of France, the prospect of
maintaining the integrity of the Turkish en-
pire becomes more faint than ever it has been.

TARIFF.-Much stress has been laid by the
opposers of the Tariff Law on the manner in
which the subject has been commented upon
by Mr.. Huskisson, and other British States
men, in Parliament. As far as the law affect
ed British interests, they had an undoubted
right to complain Of its operation, and to pro-
pose measures if expedent. to remedy TIE e.
ril. But in their wisdom they ought to have
remembered, that there are two sides to eve
ry question, and that the law was made by an
independent nation. having a right to consult
its own interests, and to manage its own af-
fairs in its own way. That much may be
said in opposition to their defamation. will be-
seen by the following letter from a gen.
tleman in England to his correspondent in
Boston.
by the ship Liverpool send you Lon
don Courier containing discussion in Parlia-
nlent on the United States Tariff, brought for
ward by Mr. Huskisson. The question has
caused more solrness and bitterness. in this
country for a month past, than any one of
foreign policy which has come up for long
time. This is ground upon which all meet
with one sentiment. 1t would seem from this
discussion, and the universal sentiment of the
people. that they felt that England had the
exclusive privilege of manufacturing for the
whole world, and the slightest attempt to in
terfere under whatever circumstances, is vi
OlatiOn of treaties, sc. Now it vexes me ex-
ceedingly to discover so much of this spirit
which is so incorporated into the very nature
of this people; and it appears to me that if
there is any thing to make this measure pop
ular in the Southern States.it is the arrogance
and splfshness of Engand. You will will see
that Messrs. Huskisson, Peel, and Hume ac-
cord the difference between them is merely
in terms; except on points of national honor
the latter was never known out Of the ma lori
ty the feeling is the same as it would be in
case of invasion; every man would feel that
his rights were interfered with. 1t is precise
ly so on this question. Mr.. Huskisson has
changed his ground in few years. Former
ly he would buy where he could cheapest !;
now he will buy of qobody who will not take
their pay in British fabricks. This notion of
reciprocity is the great farce in the world {;
the best refutatiOn of its soundness is our
trade round the Cape Of Good Hope. There
is not the slightest analogy between ours and
