THE EDITOR.  Sin--So. much has been said and written relative to Greek affairs since the meeting of- the 29d nit., that the main point of inquiry deputed to the sub-committee has been lost sight of entirely, and has given way to series of vituperations and recriminations of as little importance to the bondholders as to the cause of Greece, The Committee of Inquiry was formed on a resolution passed on the 4th of September, which stated, " that this meet►ng, viewing with alarm the delays which have taken place in forwarding assistance to the Greek patriots, deer► it necessary to appoint a committee to inquire into the causes which have led to such delayi and also as to the application of the last loan con-• tracted for the service of the Greek Republic." It must be very evident, from the wording of this resolution, that to hasten siatance- to the Greek patriots was what the meeting had most at heart ; and that in ordering inquiry into the past; it could only have been with a view to regulate the future. I willingly admit, that with a view to regulate the future, the Greek Government and the bond-holders ought to know with whom blame for the past should rest ; but I maintain that,- in another point of view, it may be of the first importance to the Greek cause to have it ascertained who is to blame for the detention of the steam-boats.  The question is not one of mere pounds, shillings, and pence, as many cold calculators, such siii Messrs. Ricardo and Co., may suppode, but one involving nothing less than the lives and liberties of a great people—the very existence of Greece. I may be told, that it matters not now who is to blame, whether Messrs. Ricardo, Mr. Galloway, Burdett, liobkonse, and Ellice, Major Cochrane, or lastly Lord Cochrane. But I say it does, for although it must be admitted that it may matter little to the Greek patriots, to which (or if to all) of these Philhellenes, save the last, the delay of the steam-boats is attributable, not so, if, it can be fairly fastened on him. If the detention of that armament had been occasioned by his Lordship, then, I think, the cause of Greece may be viewed as saved ; for never, while life flows warm in his veins, can the gallant and noble Admiral desert he cause till he has seen it safe—never can he, having enlisted in her service, with a bounty of 37,0001. in his pocket, abandon her standard till it floats triumphant over every town and tower in Greece ; and never, if the fault be his, can he leave her soil until he has fully and amply revenged the murdered heroes of Missolonghi. God grant, therefore, that he may be found to have been the cause of all the horrors which Greece has suffered during the last 12 months, for in that case it must wed to her for ever the hero of Basque Roads. The truth may he easily arrived at, if people would be but less timid. Let Ifessre. Brent and Gordon, who built the steam-vessels, and Mr. GafloWay, who was employed to fit them with machinery, open their ninnths pobliely, and declare with whoM they acted. They Sitio'', can say front whorl) they received orders, and what has iM to the detention. Let the committee of inquiry speak out also, for publicity having been once given cannot again . be dreaded. Mr. 13owring even need 'not now fear it. I rely, Mr. Editor, on your pressing the necessity of such disclosures, and fur calling hsek the attention of the bondholders to the points of most importimpr from which they started, namely, what' were the causes of the delay in deepatching the stettut-hosts.
