briefly sums up his reflections as follows : j

Our emperor ditects, himself, all the important diplomatic negotiations with for- ' ign cabinets, and confides the execution only to count Neselrode, who is at the head of the foreign department. It is generally taken for granted, that the affairs of the Greeks, which have, excited such general interest for some years past, arc a chief subject of these conferences with the Eng'ish embassador ; but, at present, tin re are onlv conjectures with respect to the manner in which their future lot will be determined It is, however, the general opinion lu e. that, if Greece is to form, in future, a part of the European system, as an independent power, our emperor, in concert with his allies, vviil not consent to this independence of the Greeks, except on condition of their re-

with a noise resembling that made by a i numbct of waggons diivcn rapidly over J paved ways. The atmosphere was perfectly serene, the wind strong Oom the in . terior, the thermometer at 50, Sc the barometer falling, though but very slightly aflVcted. The fit st shock endured about 20 seconds ; it was succeeded by two others. at distances of time, 10 an J 20 minutes, but less violent. Algiers did not sufP-r by these shocks but the town of Helida. distant twenty eight miles, and which contained about 10,000 inhabitants, was almost wholly dcstioved, and nearly the entire population ; pciishsd I The particulars arc not yet re
