and without apparently wishing to favor prospects of absolute independence. Russia, therefore, proposes 1st. To approve of the suggestions expressed in this memorial; 2d, To agree that analogous instructions be addressed to the ambassadors and allied ministers at Constantinople; 3d, To leave to those ministers all necessary latitude; 4th, To acree that all the parts of this plan for pacification, proposed by the alliance, be communicated by them successively; 5th, To inform the ministers, that, in persuading the Porte to adopt the principle of an intervention or meditation, thev will conform to the views of the allies? That it is necessary to impress upon the Porte, that the erection of three principalities, would diminish the collective strength of Greece, and that as the Porte would have the nomination of the lopodars, princes, or other rulers, it would, by that secure the interest of the most important families among the Greeks. Translate:! for the Evening Post from the Paris Constitutional, of2lt May. Bremen, May 15. (trivate correspondence.) You have already often entertained your readers with the rumors of proposed arrangements between Turkey and Greece, brought about bv Russia. Your information was indeed, exact enough, but to give you a better chance of appreciating the proposals of Russia, I send you the text of oneofher diplomatic notes; an official extract from the memorial of the cabinet of St. Petersburg, on the pacification of Greece, sent abroad during the present year, I shall send you also, as soon as possible, the answers to this note of the courts of Austria and England, who, as you may readilv belie ve, are by no means willing to admit the utility or necessity for any other power than Ruia to found new and separate principalities: which course also would prevent Greece from ever becoming strong enough to stand by her own resources, without requiring the protection of Rusia and from forming with her detarhed provinces one combined and independent nation, thu realizing the ancient designs of Russia on the east. celf r tti! from various Fa -tern Papers.

Thev confirm the rumours which have been already published respecting an insurrection ainoii the black population of the Island but it appears that the vigorous measures adopted by the military had given a severe check to it progress. The Cornwall Courier of the 231 sa)s: 44 we have every hope that an insurrection, which from the com

Kxtractofa letter received in Norfolk, dated, "Havana, lune 30. UA British vessel arrived here yesterday from Alvarado in 19 davs. She has on board all the specie which was received there, by the last convoy from Mexico, about one million of dollars, the whole of which goes to England.

It is said that Alvarado has suffered the same fate as Tampico, viz: nearly destroyed by fire." Spain. The London Courier, of June 7, says, "Advices from Bayonne, received this morning, state that intelligence had arrived there from Madrid of some serious commotions which occurred in that capital on the 23d, in consequence of the scarcity of bread. The baker's shops w ere broken open and piliaged; and it was found necessary to protect them with a strong guard. The people reproached the French troops with being the cause of their distress, and, it is stated, that great animosity prevails between the latter and the Spanish soldiers." Subsequent accounts state that supplies had arrived, and that tranquility had been restored at Madrid. The King was still at Aranguez. The Apostolic Junta continues its manccuvers with the greatest ardor in several parts of Spain. Its agents have proclaimed Charles V. (that is, Don Carlos, the brother of the King) in Gallicia, in Ariagon, and Catalonia. The Capt. Pacha sailed from Dardanelles into the Archipelago on the 1st of May. The Aunsburgh Gazette says the fleet has been seen taken a southerly direction. A Greek squadron was watching it closely. Nothing positive, however, was known of its destination, at Constantinople. But it was thought the Pacha had orders to attack Ipsara and Sumo the enterprise would be hazardous, as those Islands, as well as Hydra and Spezzia, are covered with batteries and entrenchments. It is therefore probable that the Turkish Admiral will confine his operations to relieving the isles of Negropont, which have been threatened by the Greeks ever since last autumn. With the Greeks every thing is in a prosperous state. Telegraphs by day, and tire signals by night, established in all the islands, apprise them of the slightest movements of the Turks upon all points of the Egean sea. It is thus that one of their naval squadrons, composed of 18 transports, was surprised, beaten, and destroyed, by the Greeks, in the anchorage of Suda. This event, the news of which arrived only the evening before Easter Sunday, was followed with a disembarkation of 3.000 insurgents, who had before shut up the Mnhnnu-tan in tbrir fori rot r-i

A Female Friend in West Aft ica. It has long been a uniform trait in the character of the Friends, that they have advocated the equal rights of Africa, and borne decided and honorable testimony against the Slave trade. In this they have secured the sympathies and the good w ishes of every consistent friend to libertv. It is seldom, however, that we have been called to notice anv remarkable efforts of a female of this Society for the here lit of that injured country. But the New York Observer of the 3d inst. gives an example of benevolence in a female of this society, w hich is highly pleasing. Asearly as lf;19 Hannah Kilham, of Sheffield, (Kng.) who had for some years felt the obligation of employing her talents for the benefit of the African race, brought forward the subject in London. And so powerful were her arguments on the minds of her brethren, that a subscription was commenced to defray the expenses of educating two African youths of hopeful talents. In 1820, she began to instruct them. One was from Goree, named Sandanee; the name of the

other was Mahmadee, from the banks of

the Gambia. In the same year, several Friends who agreed to act as a committe in this business, sent out an agent to the river Gambia, to open a correspondence and Teceive instructions. The agent was favorably received, and returned in 1821. In the summer 1823, Hannah Kilham bad prosecuted the study of the JalolTand Mandingo languages to such an extent that she had prepared a set of elementary school books for the press, together with selections from scripture. The committee, on her proposal, they consented that she should depart for Africa, with suitable English companions, and the two native youths, whom she had been three years instructing with success as teachers to their brethren. Early in December last, this interesting company arrived at Bathurst, a British settlement in West Africa, formed within a few years on the island of St. Mary at the mouth of the Gambia; From a letter written by Hannah Kilham soon after her arrival, it is understood that she w ill fix her station at Cape Mary, a high healthy spot at the mouth of the Gambia, eight miles from Bathurst. Her prospects were flattering. The youths whom she had instructed were much attended to, and the natives were desirous to be taught by them. The expenses of this enterprise are defray

ed bv the Friends in England. More than a year since, g3000 had been collected. The ultimate object in view is the establishment of an institution for cultivating the unwritten languages of Africa, the support of school and the translation and diffusion of se lect parts of holy scripture. Christian Watchman. A celebrated literary lady, who has written poems, novels, stories, and tales, in abundance,& whose vocal talents were of no mean order, has suddenly deserted the muses, has become a convert to the creed, habits, and demeanour of the Friends. 1 his conversion is said to have been produced by an argumentative pamphlet, published by a relation, a partner in one of the first Baiilcing concerns in Norfolk, and dedicated to the father of out fair friendwho is an eminent physician in the country. London pepcr. From thr X--culnpian Register. SULPHATE OF QUININE. At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, held 7th mo. (July) 6th, 1824, It was on motion, Kcsokcd, That the concluding paragraphs of the report of the committee appointed to investigate the subject of the recent adulteration of Sulphate of Quinine be published. By order Of the board of Trustees, HENRY TROTH, Chairman. Solomon Temple, Sccrttury. Conclusicnnf the Report of the Committeemen the adulteration of Sulphate of Quinine. "From the facts ascertained and detailed by the committee, it appears that a few ounces of the Sulphate of Quinine had been adulterated; of which a portion (8 oz.)hnd been palmed on a respectable house in this city. The fraud was, however, early detected, and received an immediate chec k. That which had been sold, the purchasers procured to be purified, and the whole of the adulterated article was withdrawn before it had completely entered the market. This circumstance having been brought before the public, attended with some exaggeration, and erroneous impression b(:ing thereby excited as to the extent of the transaction the Committee recommend, in order to dissipate unnecessary su-picinus and apprehensions .w ith respect to this valuable remedv, that this statement be made public. The individual who remain implicated, ami who bavc failed to account ratUfaclorily how they became possessed of the sophisticated Sulphate of Quit ine,w hich they offered lor sale are r ot members of the college of Pharmacy ; they are not, consequently, amenable by it regulations; and the penalties provided by its laws cannot be inflicted. As thev have received a severe lesson on this occasion, and must bo fully sensible of their error, the committee would advise that a more explicite public exposition (the only coercive measure that could be exercised by the Board of Trustees,) should for the present be withheld. Signed, SAMUEL JACKSON, STEPHEN NORTH, FREDERICK BROWN, Committee. OrWc hope the above (although in opinion it is less severe than the occasion warranted) will be republished bv all the papers of the Union, as a check to proceedings in future of a like character.

The lover, alarmed at the consequences, called upon the lawyer and for .5300 he undertook to compromise the affair, which sum he received, and generously gave the unfortunate young woman 40," pocketing the rest for his trouble. There is reason'fo believe that this legal swindler has been most extensive in his operations on this delicate point. He lately wrote a letter to a young man, requiring him to call at his office and settle a similar affair. The oung man called, protested bis innocence", and declared that he did not know the voung lady.
