The following is an extract of a letter by the Cherub, dated Smyrna, April 6: u It is said a black flag was flying at Athens, which,' if true, we may expect soon to hear of its fall. Lord Cochrane is in Greece, but as yet has taken no decided step. Want of time prevents my forwarding you a copy of all the latest news received from Greece."

The Greeks are getting on as usual, and the campaign looks as if it would be more decisive than former ones; and, from all appearances, Russia does not care much for the Greeks.

mr. stout We have seen a communication in the Telegraph ol last week, in relation to Post Offices, and intended as wc believe, to implicate the i'ost Master al this place. This is a matter of serious importance to us, and instead of darkly hinting at the misconduct of the Post Master here, or elsewhere, if Mr. Ewing w ould come out with the facts, he would act a much more manly part. The public at large, as well as the citizens of this county, arc deeply interested in knowing whether " wilful neglect, and a great degree of inattention" is to be attributed to the PostjVlaslcr here. Justice to him, and to the public at lat gc, requires that an immediate statement of the tacts should be made public. Let this be done before the first of August, otherwise wc shall view it as a basl and unfounded calumny. MAsr ciriZF.ss of u.trinss.
