Captain Allen further declares, that nunc can be mote anxious ior the destruction of the Greek pirates, than the Greeks themselves, I he n ain object of this letter appears to be to stir np the English nalioti to make seme new effort ol a pecuniary character, to sustain Greece in this arduous, but not hopeless conflict, and it is written in somewhat ot a reproachful tone. In commenting upon it, the editor of the Times says, It is true, that for a long time past, subscriptions have not much -succeeded in England, for the sup- ( ply of ai ms, or other implements of war, j to the Greeks; and can such reserve be J

wondered at? For what has become of

the Greek loans ? How have they been disposed ol ? Who is it that constitute the administrative power among the Greeks ? and what secuiity we mean what secur

He is a widow er, has no children, and very fevr relations in any degree. There is no question whether a republican government is preferred to any oth cr The general sentiment is decidedly republican. The majority of the people are not well instructed in the exetcLe ol the rights and duties of self government, but there is a large class of well educated & discreet men, who are well acquainted with principles, many cf them with

the practice of free systems. Massachusetts Journal.
