In the island of Seio, the ren>ains of 

 its population, not discouraged by 

 llicir aQlicting circumstances, are zea- 

 lously j)romoting the publication of the 

 ancient Greek classics, under the 

 direction of M. Coray, considered as 

 the patriarch of ancient and modern 

 Greek literature. In the Anthology 

 of I'lorence, appeai-s a letter from a 

 •Greek correspondent, detailing the 

 piiisperous state of the island previous 

 to its vicissitudes : a population of 

 1(H),000 souls ; a public library, en- 

 riched with 12,000 volumes; schools of 

 literature, philosophy, and the sciences; 

 a printing-ofRce; and various other 

 establishments of a benevolent and 

 enlightened description. It was likely 

 to becDiuc a sort of capilal of Greek 

 learning. The populaiion is now re- 

 duced to 8000; their sntfeiings arising 

 from no other cause tiwn endeavouring 

 to put ihi-mselves on a level with civi- 

 lised nations, in the cullivation of use- 

 ful and tranquil studies. 



The Greek academ}', (hat was to be 

 foiHided in the Isle of Ithaca, is to be

 tiansmilted strict orders to the go- 

 vernor, to treat the Gieeks of the 

 lunir'U jsles with less severity, and 

 with due attention lo tlie itnpiovenicnt 

 of their condition: Lord Guildi'ord is 

 to be director-general of the acadeniy.
