Great Britain. The election for members of Parliament was going on, and excited considerable disturbance at Carlisle, and other places. The military was called upon in Carlisle, and fired on the people, several of whom were killed. It was their opposition to a candidate who was favorable to the corn laws, which caused this they pelted him aud bis friends with stones. France. The commercial cities of France have addressed memorials to the government upon the importance of negotiating treaties with the South American States. The Greek cause continues popular. In Prussia, the queen subscribed

largely to the ladies' collection. In Paris, the ladies are making fancy articles for salt' to augment the fund. Grfece. The brig Seamen, of N. Y. while lying at the island of Samos, was attacked by two piratical launches of about 30 men each, but they were beaten off. The Archipelago appears to abound with pirates. The U.S. ship Erie was cruisng therein to defend our trade. The whole squadron was daily expected to arrive at Smyrna. We have no important news from Greece. The number of slain and slaugh

tered at Missolonghi is, variously stated to be from 2 to 2 -,000 persons. Very few escaped. It was thought that the populous i tnd of Svra would next be assailed by the Turks, and treated as Scio was. Date from Patras are to Mv 15. The army of Ibrahim, containing 2900 Egyptians and 1200 Turks, was still near that

city, and so enfeebled by the seige of Missolonghi as to be unable to attempt any thing. The soldiers from Missolonghi were most affectionately received at Salona. They are called the "sacred battalion.M A letter from Trieste, of May 22, confirms the report of 1 800 men having cut their way through the Turks, and joined Kuraiskaki. The Egyptian fleet was at Patras, and the Turkish squadron passed Zante en the 4th for the Archipelago. E"ry preparation is making for the defence of Napoli; the soldiers have just been clothed by the French committee; and troops are assembles in all parts. A national assent.

cr, its palpable object is to create impressions which there are no facts to justify. The whole spirit of the article is in entire consistency with the constant efforts which for some time past have been made lo induce the opinion that it is the disposition of the General Government to thwart and oppress the State of Georgia. Can any idea be more preposterous ? Can the people of the United States be induced to give their consent to a conclusion so unwarrantd sooppositeto reason? It is difficult to account for the infatuation which seems to prevail among some of the public speakers and writers of Georgia: it is difficult to discover the end which is to be attained

by all this misrepresentation by these persevering experiments on thecredulity of the people of the whole union. Can any good result from cherishing a feeling of hostility between the State and Federal

Governments? Do the men who thus exert themselves to perpetuate discord, desire to see the state brought into actual collision with the Union ? It cannot, for a

moment, be supposed, that such an issue can be desired. If we look to the last cor respondence between Governor Troup and the Secretary of War, we shall find evidence of a conciliatory disposition. It is therefore still more to be regretted that the columns of any newspapers of the State should be occupied by incendiary efforts to revive a flame which, happily for the

Monroe, (Mich. Ter.) July 22. Slavery. It is generally known that the taws of our Territory do not sanction slavery; and we are happy in adding, that scarcely a negro is to be found in our country. One, however, found his way into this part of the country not long since, and entered into the employ of a respectable farmer in this vicinity. A few days since, a wily Kenturkian, by the name of Power of Maysville, travelling through this part, thinking Cvffee lawful prize, sei-

jzed him by the collar, (presenting at the same time a pistol and threatening to blow ! him through if he did not submit.) and
