Great Britain and Ireland. The 1

boring classes in England are distress beyond precedent. It may be believed that several hundred thousand persons have been thrown out of employment, and many serein want of bread! Great exertions were making to relieve them, but the aggregate help needed was fir beyond the means of supply, unless, indeed, very sparingly. The silk manufacturers seem to have, been almost all crushed by "ficc trade." Manv of the woollen weavers

were literally starving, though the supply

of bread stuffs is uncommonly large, and the prices moderate. The military are frequently used to keep down the people. The manufacturing districts in Ireland are suffering as much as those of England. "Ever? weaver in Kilkenny" is said to be idle.

and slaughter nas dreadful. The castle ucs burned donn, with all the Egyptians .nd negroes from Darfour in it, in retaliation of cruelties by them committed. Thirty six Christian officers were taken nnd hy the Greeks for the present tfcy c to be marched from village to villr" . j be exhibited as scoundcls. Missole held out gallantly. The Eg) ptians t.tely lost 18 vessels of war, captured or destroyed by the Greeks. Col. FabTier is of great service to the patriots. It was through him, chiefly, that Tripolitza was taken, and 2500 of the enemy destroyed. Ibrahim was severely pressed, and had lost nearly every strong hold that he held in the Morea. It was thought that he has not more than 10,000 men at his disposal. Later accounts say that Missolonghi had been provisioned bv the Greek fleet that

a great Naval victory had been obtained, ! in which Miaulis and Canaris succeeded fin burning 15 Turkish vessels, among them

All persons taken prisonen were shot. The end, however, is not yet. Sir Fredeiick Lamb, the British minister at Madrid, after having for some months remained a quiet spectator of events, has recently exercised an active influence on the proceedings of the Spanish cabinet, lie has strongly urged the acknowledgment of South American independence, and it was rumored that sucli an acknowledgment was on the eve of being published.

But the ! ruin in England appears to be checked by the powerful exertions of the government and of the bank.

The following extract from a speech, on

It is strongly reported that this conspiracy has existed for a long time since 1015, under ditferent names; and that it had been resolved to assassinate the late

emperor, which was prevented by his sud-i

Alexander, Constantine andNicholasweic to have been assassinated on the same day, by dith rent parties of the band, six for ach, as Paul, their father, was killed; and one of the reputed assassin of the litter, Mic hael Orlotl', was at the head of the whr.Ie atlair.

Much speculation exits about the journey of the duke ef Wellington to St. Pet;,rhand because that, in the king of England s speech, the affairs of Russia were not at all alluded to, Gnncct.

"There were evident indications of

union, and he was happy to perceive them, among the people of tlie state (N. Y.) a union founded upon political and i-tate principles a union to take from this House the privilege of electing a Chief Magistrate to restore that right entire to the people and rescue the constitution from an administration, w hich if the Executive be an index of its policy, seems to have substituted the preamble for the sacred instrument itself. On which side of these great questions his colleague would be found, it would perhaps not become him to say in a case of such extreme uncertainty, it would be folly to become a prophet."' "Wc have yet to learn what effect will be producrd in our own country, by a case something like that of Lord North and Mr. Fox. We have now to discover,

whether the American people have as high J

a sense ot their dignity as the hritish had near a century since. Whether they, as vigilantly, watch the conduct of their distinguished men. 0OIt is yet to be ascertained, whether a President of the United States can ever, with impunity, appoint to the first station in his Cabinet, the presiding officer of that very electoral College, to which nnd to whom he may have heen indebted for his clection.jQ Let not those in power rely upon their patronage; Let them not confide in an apparent apathy ; the deepest impressions are least perceptible; when a nation speaks, its voire w ill be heard.
