gistrates the state of the poor, and to 
point ont any flagrant instance of negli- 
gence or abuse.- A more regular and 
distinct method of keeping the parish ac- 
counts might likewise prove higlily ad- 
vanliageous, 
At thesame time, we cannot too strongly 
express our opinion, that even as the iw 
at present stands, much might be done by 
the vigilant and enlightened attention of 
the Magistrates. If they point ont to the 
farmers the mischievous consequences of 
placing their labourers upon the public 
fond, if they would discountenance the 
abuses which prevail, and give every sup- 
port to those who endeayour to reform the 
present system, there can be no doubt that 
great good might be effected. The farmers 
themselves have adopted it unwillingly, 
and must be fully aware of its mischievous 
effects. ‘The distress which has so long 
restrained the application of agricultural 
capital is now happily disappearing, and 
there never was a more favourable mo- 
ment for reforming an abuse, which in 
very few places is as yet of thirty years 
growth. Let the Magistrates and, gene- 
rally, afl charged with the administration 
of the poor laws, observe, thatif these laws 
Lave been retained with the humane pur- 
pose of preserving honest indigence from 
starving, and remedying any sudden want 
of employment, yet, that if misapplied, 
they may become a greater evil to the 
country thau any partial misfortune, or 
temporary calamity could inflict.—June

Respecting the afiairs of the TLe- 
vant, the two following letters lately 
appeared in France and Germany. 
Zante, June 14.—The death of Lord 
Byron has caused some delay relative to 
the funds derived from the loan made in 
England. Jt was necessary to write to 
Lonudop, and the Hellenic Government 
having ratified the clauses of the treaty, 
a first payment of 24,0001. has been made 
by Mr. Blaguiere into the hands of Com- 
missioners. A part of this sum has been 
sent to Missolongo, where Mavrocordato 
and Botzaris, and the Souliots, are. Ano- 
ther part of it has been sent to Idra. In 
conseqnence of the dissensions occasioned 
by Colocotroni, the Turkish squadron of the 
Captain Pacha has succeeded in throwing 
a reinforcemeut of 2000 men into Ne. 
gropont. After this operation it went in 
the direction of Mitylene. Letters from 
Cerigo announce, that immediately after 
the arrival of the Turkish fleet at Porto 
Olivaro, its anarchical chiourmes revolted, 
and assassinated the Captain Pacha. This 
Perl probable, for the crews of the 
urkish ships were never worse composed 
than at present, being a collection of the 
Jowest rabble from Constantinople and 
Smyrna. Omar Brionis, convinced of the

inutility of his exertions, and of the dan- 
gers to which he was exposed from his 
own Government, in conjunction with the 
Pacha of Scroda, has proposed a treaty. of 
alliance, offensive and defensive, to thie 
Hellenic Government. In consequence 
of his treaty he wall cede Arta, Pievesa, 
and the five wells, to the Greeks, and rez 
treat to Berat, where he will establish the 
seat of his Government. ‘This project is 
about to be carried into execution, and 
this first dismemberment of ‘Turkey wiil 
be followed by the defection of the in- 
habitants of Bosnia and other places, who 
are now consulting with the Montenegrius 
to furm independent leagues.—Journal des 
Debats. 
We yesterday received news from Alex- 
andria, in Egypt, which came down to the 
22d May, and affirm positively that people 
continued indeed still to speak of the em- 
barkation of the Viceroy’s troops, but that 
nothing certain was known on the subject, 
No troops having yet arrived in the neigh- 
bourhood of Alexandria. ‘The corps 
which it was said was to be commanded 
by Ibrahim Pacha, was encaniped some 
leagnes from Cairo, and at that time at 
least was not making any preparations 
to break up. Ibrahim was with his father 
at a country-house near Cairo. It was af 
firmed besides, that the troops to be em- 
barked were not to be conveyed to the 
Morea, or placed at the disposal of the 
Turkish Government, but that they will 
go to Candia, where there is alieady a 
strong corps of Egyptian troops, to which 
all the advantages are to be ascribed that 
the Turks have hitherto gained in that 
island. Further, it is stated in these 
letters, that the corps intended for em- 
barkation does not exceed six thousand 
men, and that there could be no idea 
of projects against Greece till Candia 1s 
wholly sabdned, in which these troops are 
to assist. We have no certain informa- 
tion respecting the operations of the 
Turkish fleet under the Captain Pacha. 
However, it had not appeared near the 
Peloponnesus, or at the entrance of the 
Egean Sea; it still loitered about Negro- 
pont, where it is said to have lost some 
vessels, Accounts brought by vessels 
speak of a new and successful attempt to 
land near Volo. In the Peloponnesus 
there was still great confusion. Coloco- 
troni has again renewed hostile: measures 
against the Central Government, but it 
was not believed that he acted in concert 
with the Turks. ‘The unhappy differ- 
ences that exist might, however, be very 
fatal to, the Greeks, if the Turkish opera- 
tions vg@re conducted with judgment and 
energy, which seems, however, to be by 
no means the case,—Aligemeine Zeitung,
