OLT 30.  . . The Impartial Obsertei of e.St'erdaY, has the following article upon Lord Cochrane :—" This titan suffered himself to be long intreated and expected before he wifuld place his celebrity at the disposal of the Greeks. Though he is the Ai+ Alessjah, be has not yet accomplished the mystery of their rederuptidl4 thiS is not his fault; it is well known that he wants neither cOtirtlO tire ability. if he has nut ye: effected more, it is because the eleihente which he has to work With would not allot' it. Perhaps liOtrotly is ii-t7orn conylitced of this than himself. On his arrival iii Greece he foitnd things in a state very different from what the journals had annointed tp him. He was forced to begin by preaching unanitnityil and he was sensible just time enough that, whether he swore tie the gospels or on his word, it Wag advisable to introduce a prudent reservation in his oath to the cause of Greece. Under the witlfs of Athens he had the first opportunity to congratulate himself on this oratorical precaution. He saw there how 300 Turks defended tbentselvesagainst 10,000 Greeks, at length capitulated, and were murdered after the capitulation.— Some days after this the whete Greek army took to flight, and hurried him along with it, when a little courage might have delivered Athens. He then resolved' to encourage and employ the fleet. He was suffered to pet to sea with the frigate and three or four corvettes. All the reef pf the fleet required time for consideration. In the Gulf of Claranza the meeting with two ;Egyptian corvettes should have given him the first opportunity to show his well-known great talents as a seaman. The result was to the advantage of the corvette, for they escaped from a sixty-four-gun frigate. At length he appeared, with 20 other Greek ships, before Alexandria, to repeat, with Canaris, the attempt once before made by the latter. He met with little obedience and good-will in the cause, and thus the opportunity was lost of burning a part of the Egyptian fleet, which was crowded in the narrow channels when sailing to meet him. Hereupon the Egyptians pursued him for five days, and the Greeks hastened to Poros and Hydra, where they now are. These are the operations in which his Lordship has hitherto been engaged.  The daring conduct of the Spanish Guarda Costas, in forcibly cutting out a vessel while under the protection of the guns of Gibraltar, has naturally excited very indignant feelings in the minds of those merchants who trade in that quarter. The insult was so unprovoked and unjustifiable as to call for immediate chastisement, and. we have no doubt that it will be promptly inflicted, unless the vessel be given up and due reparation made for such wanton misconduct. Probably the 'Spaniards exceeded their orders and felt themselves partly justified in attacking a vessel bearingcontraband goods, but their hostility ought to have ceased the moment she passed into the jurisdiction of England. The thing appears altogether unaccountable upon any other supposition than that they exceeded their duty in their zeal to seize a vessel, which they had probably suspected upon some recent occasion. We feel satisfied that due atonement will be required and made.
