A letter from TJarselllc:, cf January 10, cays, Onfj of the jourrah of Lyons contains what follows: The correspondence of T,3. Eynard, and the reports in circulation relative to the intervention of the sovereigns for the cmaccipation of Greece, have produced a great sensation here. A speedy arrangement seems certain; lord Cochrane himself is so convinced of it that he completely renounced the expedition which he contemplated. We learn that he has suddenly changed the arrange meats for his departure." - t - i A report having found its way into several papers, that an arrangement of the difference on the Collonial question with Great Britain had deen made by Mr. Gallatin, we have taken some pains to inquire into the truth of it. We learn that thete is no grout d whatever tor the report; but that, on the contrary. Great Britain persevires in refusing to treat on the question.

of any adjustment of it by convention. It is now more than ever a matter of re-

(Jtr j ; formant, who was on his way to the Police iOrfi -.e, had curioity to approach the door j .f 'he ball room, and as "night's candles were almost burnt out," the door keeper readily admitted him. The room tras jtaateffillr festooned with evergreens and joung round with the banners of the mani u miss ion and other benevolent societies. ! Upwards of 600 ladies and gentlemen of Icolour were present, darn ing quadrilles to i an excellent coloured baud of musicians.

The ladies were tastefully, but somewhat extravagantly dressed. Ostrich feathers,

; pearl ornaments, and pangled patalets, being the prevailing fashion. Waiters in livery were st'll handing about sandwitchj.es, regent's punch, and pickied oysters,a"d it was not uoiil after six in the mor-

MORE SIGNS OF THE TIMES, In th flowing letter, which reached us by the lat mail from Harrisburg, from a ource entitle d to full credit, our readers will find other 'signs of tht times," not le3 striking than any we have yet spread before them. "Harrisburg, March 16, 1827. The "Sign of the Times" are, indeed, ominous of an unprincipled combination of aspiring men who are determined to raise themselves into ofiiir e, and that by any menns, and at any price even the destruclion'of the very elements of our excellent government. Yi u are correct in your interpretation of Mr. Van Buren's threat in the Senate: for a part of the 4combin ition" have been here, v?ilh a purse in one hand and a club in the other. One of them, (who, by the way, had forgotten his pru dence,) stated to me that they had in their hands 2,000, for the purpose of establ ishing a Press here, and if the Editors of the Pennsylvania Intelligencer would turn into the pack, and bellow lustily in favor of Genera 1 Jack on, and the disorganises who make his gallant services a cloak to hide their dishonest purposes, the if patronage should he iccreased to double its estent;

it not, thit the 2,000 should be npplied to establishing a Press to answer those purposes and cnh them. Such is the courre these men adopt; but as their schemes become known, I feel as-ured that the good eense of this state will ultimately put dorn such unholy combinations.
