Selected from Entrrn Papers. Greece. We find in a laic Paris paper

a lottr from ilr. Evnard, an aetive mem

been disposed of for the relief of those who

Swiss Committees, 2,076,231 lbs. of flour.

biruit, corn, and cheese, and 40,000 lbs. of lead. He was preparing to send 1,300,000 lbs. more of articles of subsistence and 80.000 lbs. of lead. He gives an estract of a letter written at Corfu, wl;;j ctes that they had not been able to - zry satisfactory details of the afo;rcf ' obnghi, hut they had little doV " - ) greater part of the garrison ha'cf i2.'.vd the mountains, after having caused severe losses to the Egyptians. A great part of the women and children who had not been put to death,

were carried to Atta and Prevcssa, where they were sold like animals. A letter frm the Archbishop of Arta says, 'These women and children are sold at a low price, like small cattle; once transported to Egypt,ihey cannot be re-purchased. The island will do all in their power, but I call for y our co-operation. In the name f hunvmily and religion, take pity on these unfortunate beings spare them from degradation and apostacy." f.lr Eynard, on the receipt of this letter, immediately sent 50.000 francs for the redemption of as main f these Chiistian slaves as possible: 30.000 n account of the Greek committee at I iris, 15.000 on account of the Sw iss Committees, and 5000 on his own private acc ount. From the Morca he had learned that the N itional Assembly had separated on the loth April. Z-tiini had been appointed President of the Executive body, and the power of the government had been concentrated in the hand of a small num ber of energetic members. Considerable sums of money have been raised, and are raising, in various parts of Europe for the relief of the Greeks and if lord Cochrane is pretty liberally assisted with men and money, there is every reason to believe that the Grand Turk may yet be compelled to give them peace and inde pendence. M. Emmanuel d'Harrourt, who is going to Greece as commissioner of the Pari committee, embarked at Toulon on the 2 i JnU, on board the frigate La Truite; in utetiant colonel Hayhau, w l.o supei intend the materiel of the expedition, will tail for Marseille on the 9th or 10th. A gre;it number of officers of all ranks will embark with him, and he would be under!

The payment' of the suir.3 due to France for the acknowledgement cf Hay tien independence causes very considerable diCcelty to president Bovca. An attempt rcca

made a short time since to obtain something from the mines, and great expectations formed that the result would relieve the government from the necessity of resorting to taxation, but, after exploring them, no traces of either gold or silver

could be discovered, and the project was

abandoned. Immediate recourse must now be had to direct taxation, for which the people are by no means prepared, and in

many instances they arc ready to dispute the power of the government to compel its

payment. 1 he result ol this disagreement bctiveen the parties, it is feared will be rebellion or revolution, cither of which is much to be deprecated in the present situation of the Island. Great DaiTAix. The English papers arc almost entirely filled with the election movements of candidates and their constituents. The whole country, from one ex

tremity to the other, presents a scene of

ill-restrained anarchy the passions of the

people now bursting forth into acts of lawless outrage, and now suppressed by the application of the civil or military authority. Nothing can more completely satisfy us than the present state of tilings in that country of the present unfitness of the English nation for institutions similar to our own. They have not acquired that most difficult of all arts, the art of self govern

ment. Kemovc from them,at this moment all restraint take away from the ministers all the influence which they derive

from an extensive patronage disband the tens of thousands of troops which circ um vallate the throne and the first result would be a scene of disorder, of violence, of cruelty, and of bloodshed, not perhaps, equal to those scenes which were exhibited in the first days in the incipient stages of

the r reach revolution, but sufficient to alarm and disgust every well organized mind. It is instructive to draw the contrast between the elections in England and those of our own country. Here, there is, indeed, a momentary hustle something of a shouldering and elbowing, to get to the polls a little treating at the taverns, peril ips and, for ought we know, in some States, a taint of individual corruption; but are we ever compelled to call in the aid f military or even of the civil police, to suppress riots, and prevent murder? Our citizens require no ofiicial interference to induce submission to the laws, and to prevent acts of violence; they have too much self respect; they are too habituated to self government, to render necessary any such interpositions of power. The great question on w hich the elections seem to turn, is not the fitness or unfitness of the administration. The coun

try seems content with the present minis

tTs. The Catholic Question seem to be the .great pivot on which ewry thing turns. The -No Popery !" cry which led to the a(arming riot about four or five and thirty years since, has been revived, in order to excite the prejudices of the people: how successfully it lias been revived, wc are not, at this moment, able to decide; the general result of the election must determine that point. Our Lite accounts from England shews

a contiuation of distress from the want of

business for the capitalists and of employment for the laboring poor, perhaps beyond precedent. Tens of thousands of the Litter, able and willing to work, even for a mere livelihood, would perish in the streets and road except for the relief afforded by the wealthy that may exist; and indeed,

existence is nearly all that this class of

persons seem to have reason to hope for at this time. Overtrading is now initsdeso biting reaction, and artificials of all sorts, arc fumbling down into realities, and misery abounds in all the useful or productive

classes of persons. The vast export of

money and goods to South America, is among the principal causes of this state of things.

The probability of a famine in England,

in consequence of the long drought, is spoken of as to be added to the present mise

ries of tiic people. Later accounts from England give fresh details of increased distress. In Manches

ter and many other places, factories had wholly stopped working by the stoppage of two of iwm five thousand persons were deprived of the means of earning their bread. The dismissed tcorkmtn were col

little credit that was left to the Uesicca

In addition, 12,500 persons are supplied at Manchester, alone by the poor rates. Seats in the house of commons never were so openly bartered s at present. That the practice always existed is well known, but there was generally heretofore, something like caution ca the part both of buyers and sellers. tt appears from paragraphs in the London papers, that the mercantile tonnage of the United States is rapidly approaching an equality with the British. Mr. Baring states it at between sixteen and seventeen hundred thousand; that of the British at

! little more than 2.500,000. But then it

must be taken into calculation that in 1 789, we passed a tonnage of only 279,583$ scarcely l-6th of the present amount; while, since the same period the British

I IVom the Ptiitional Journal. Wo perceive by a letter from a gentleman of high pnUtical standing in Alaryland, that the: party in opposition to the administration, hae commenced their operations in that state. All the information which reaches us, tends to convince us that I no efl'rt human vigilence can suggest, and ! industry accomplish, will be spared to efjfect the designs which have been framed, ! perhaps with more zal than ingenuity, by a few ambitious leaders. There is little I to fear, however, from the schemes of men 'who are met at every step they take by the stern and powerful opposition of truth and integrity. Public opinion will never sustain a course which, originating in de

vised motives, relies on violence and falsehood for its justification. Truth and virtue must ultimately triumph; and intrigue and chicanery must give way befirc the united force of purity and reason. We presume, that in Maryland there is to be found sufficient attachment to order and a sound policy, to resist with e fleet any attempts to disturb the even course of prosperity which the Union enjoys, for the purpose of gratifying individual pleen, or

promoting personal aggrandizement. The Newark Sentinel gives a briefvien of the political situation of the state of N. Jersey, at this moment, from which it appears that the friends of Gen.
