AFFAIRS OF GREECE. The letters from
Corfu speak in favourable terms of the
great Improvements in the administration
of Greece through the exertions of Count
Capo d'Istrias; but with respect to the
military affairs, they are in deplorable
condition, especially in the land forces.
The commanders, at variance with each
other, are not obeyed by the troops; and
it is surprising under such circumstances
that the military operations have been SO
well conducted as has been the case.
Thus part of the troops under General
Church lately mutined and demanded
higher pay, and the captains with great
difficulty restored order, by promising that
their claims should be attended to.
[Capo dIstrias is well known to be
agent Of the Russian government in
Greece. He conducts the civil affairs en-
tirely under the instruction of Nicholas,
the Russian Gear. The deplorable con-
dition of the military affairs may, as Ike
ly as not, be produced by his intrigues.
General Church is not in the interest of
Russia.
We do not run rashly into war, because
we think that people who deemed no
sacrifices of blood or treasure too great,
when the safety and honour of the coun-
try were at stake, deserve that every possi-
BILE care should be taken to tighten the
burdens to which they so cheerfully SUBJ
mitted-but, show them that their glory,
their independence, and their security are
again threatened, and blood would be again
poured out as if it were no more value
than water-and gold would be again
lavished as if it were as worthless as the
sand of the desert.
These are the sentiments of the Lon
don Courier, the organ of the British gov
eminent, on the sneers and taunts of the
French journals, relative to the course of
the English policy. They persist in the
assertion. that no causa Of war has yet
been gipan by any of the EnronAan re.n-
ers. The national debt is, no doubt, the
source Of all the present embarrassment
Of the British cabinet.l
A GERMAN DANDY. 1t is well known
that the students in the different German
universities affect great eccentricity of
manners and dress, as well as of opinions.
The present is the costume of the stu
dents of Bonn "A small green cloth cap,
with bit of leather in front, quite unfit
for its original intention of covering the
head and shading the eyes, and the bind
ing of the cap generally differs in colour,
to denote the club to which the student
belongs. The hair is worn long and
lank, or if curled, the curls must turn in
towards the head, instead of outwards, as
every body else would curl the hair. The
nose is often adorned with large pair of
Isilver-rimmed spectacles, worn rather for
affectation of singularity than from any
dimness of sight occasioned by intensity
of abstruse study. The mustache and
little imperial beneath the lower lip are
encouraged, while the ordinary facial
clothing of a whisker is usually shaved
clean off. A pipe, the tube of which
would answer for cudgel, and whose
bowl is as big as breakfast-cup, seldom
leaves the mouth of the owner. The
countenance is generally set off by some
large scars received in duels, which the
students fight on the most trivial occa-
sions. The rest of his dress consists of
frock coat of eccentric cut, no neck
cloth, and the collar of the shirt allowed
to fall down. From the neck is suspend
ed an immense bag Of tobacco, with
which they regal themselves at all times,
and suffocate every body else that ap-
proaches them. The trowsers fit tolerably
tight across the body and thighs, and then
gradually increase down to the ANGLES.
