I shall remain Here Somo three four or London and two from Liverpool than previous advices. It will be seen by the following Cut Nils that Adrianople surrender cd to Ike and of the russians and was occupied by the , a authentic from Greece. The source of the following letter entitles it to More respect thai info nation from Greece such As is usually received upon unknown authority which i is Loo often apocryphal Rama the x. V. Come Vencial and Stoeh. From Well interest Liat you feel in tie political a fluids of Greece i should have written you often or nere in not that i consider her so entirely dependant on the will of die european cabinets for the form of her government for the course of Lier policy nay for her very political existence. Fortis reason any operations of her own arc of Little importance each Power wishes to make Greece dance to ils own particular tune since each pays part oath Piper and As they sometimes do Call together most curious figures Are Cut. Yogi May think it strange that no notice has been taken in Greece of die late protocol in which a european Prince is proposed but this is not because it is not Felt and deeply Fel Liere is but one sentiment among tie common people that of regret and disappointment yet Thoy cannot murmur aloud they Feci that they owe their a present Amelio led condition to european interference Uliey Are sensible Loo of their do Penzance at present and Uliey would not try to oppose any Leader that might be sent by tie Powers a Nevert lifeless Uliey love Capo d Istria they think he has conferred inestimable benefits on the country they to link him the Only Man capable of continuing Iceni in their present Security and Uliey esteem him accordingly. There is no denying this fact a let the agents of England and France let the diff Erent foreigners Here while As they May Uliey Are very much deceived and they deceive Allieta if they suppose tiie common people do not love Capo d Istria. Uliey have perfect reason however when Uliey assert that the Heller informed amongst the greeks doubt the Purily of his motives and dislike Many of his measures nay they May go farther and Assort Liat Capo d Istria has often violated the Constitution and trifled with what a Republican considers the sacred rights of die people. Leverdic Lesa we Liall Sec in a few Days on the Moeling of the National Assembly what is the opinion of the better part of the nation. Duoi Ibon of the deputies will say let the president continue to administer our rights As he has done Lei him continue at least anole or year with tie same prerogatives he 1ms hitherto enjoyed. The Assembly is looked Forward to by All with much interest since it is supposed Liat in proceedings May have some effect upon die Powers As far As it will furnish tangible proofs of the real Public opinion it will be opened at Argos in a few Days and i will Ihen inform you More at Lengli of the internal politics and parties of Greece for she is far from being free of party. At present even should i go a length into tie subject i could not Well d so not being entirely a fori have been quite rusticated within the three last Mont i. You will see in my letter to the committees a account of the Colony of poor which i have undertaken to establish Here for die purpose of supporting them selves by agriculture and you May Well imagine that ils management requires All any time and attention and that the task though do cult is most interesting. To tie committee i did not go fully Inorg i perhaps into an explanation of the motives which led me to adopt this Mixie of disc rioting to Weir charities not could i Well explain them to any one who does not know the country. The principal motive for the change from the method formerly followed is Thech Ahlein the situation. And Circum Stoces and wants of the poor Williia the Laal iwo years formerly the Only consideration wis to save the crowd from starving though cd for a few Days without endeavouring to economise the Means then putting the poor to work would a have been much More from the insecure state of the country. The to Flient of agony is gone by extreme want and wretchedness does not now present itself in considerable mass it is Only m individuals and tiie question with mics hot can i apply the Nina is entrusted to me in such a Way As to produce the greatest and most listing Good to thu greatest num.

I say nothing about morals and religion these Are understood but let him not be a bigot or zealot. I fear the Latler would fail from the Best of motives. I have known Many foreign missionaries Here yet i know but one to whom 1 would Trust tie establishment with any satisfaction nay must 1 say it i have never known but one or two whom i think have done or will do any Good to Greece or to the advancement of religion they will not or cannot open their eyes wide enough they Rush with mad Zeal to attack the Strong holds of sin and dash out their few brains against Walls hich they might have easily undermine ded. The greek priests who have still an thing influence Over tie lower class of the people Are q Jill astonished at the Imber of missionaries they see hate and i fear if More cautious measures ate not Fol of the cause of religion will be retarded rather Tolian font added.

But this by the the convention met in Tho Hall of die Ilous of burgesses a spacious apartment w Ell calculated for the purposes of a de Lilic alive Assembly. The scats a by the members in a triple Row surround die balls the Centre is free and unoccupied and every speaker has thus an advantageous Opportunity of addressing the chair.

This was Ibe Sib glance of id dress which was delivered apparently by a painful Effort Wilh frequent pauses.
