peated. The moment

The moment that France and England are united, instead of that union turning against Russia - its only useful end-immediately Russia is of the party!

We beg to refer our readers back to the article on Greece, in the last No. in which we have shewn, progressively downwards, step by step, that on each occasion, all that had to be done, was to exclude Russia-that no course but that could be adopted by any wise cabinet, or by any honest man; and yet upon each occasion that her villany has come into evidence, and her power has been broken, she has always been taken by the hand by England or France. Hitherto, indeed, by one alone, at a time, and chiefly England; but now by England and France united. This places at her disposal, the authority of the alliance, as acting upon the constitutional party in Greece, while her own party in Greece loses its anti-national character, by standing upon the constitutional side; and now she has, through the European concert, got the means of using their aggregate power to pervert that Party's operations, and to frustrate its endeavours; but the two Powers are delighted. What can be more ominous ?

But it is no longer a question of accepting Russia into partnership, but of seeking her! M. Brunow scoffs at the proposed constitution, and declares that Russia will have nothing to do with it. She is then already assured in that quarter. The subjoined from Munich may assist the reader's comprehension.

"Munich, Nov. 10th.

"It was to be expected that the end of the succession of Prince O. Wallerstein, would prove important and attainable. Consequently instead of a re-establishment of the affairs of Greece on the former footing; now, we learn, that the object is to carry through the national assembly a project of constitution, which leaves such prerogatives to the crown, that the man, whose head it adorns, will be reduced to the shadow of a king; and we venture to add, on the best information, that the Prince has not only gained his ends in Paris, but also

the best assurances in London, and of the same friendly reception. The day of his return is already mentioned here. We have, therefore, now to look to what is doing in Greece, to prepare for the success of the Prince's mission. The question was to give a man who, without being a chief of a party in the common sense, should, however, be fit to form a party, and to render it victorious. Who should form this party? Colletti and Mavrokordato were the only men to look to. Colletti was not arrived (!) on the 26th of October, nor was he expected before the 30th or 31st. Letters from Athens of the same date, bring news of Mavrokordato, of as great interest as importance. He is called the new Solon of Athens, and has undertaken to form a complete project for the constitution, and is so far advanced, that he will be able to lay it before the council of state, and of ministers, in a few days. What we learn about the formation of the Senate in a first chamber, of the position of both chambers to the responsible Ministers, and of the chief prerogative of the Crown, briefly all that has been brought to our knowledge of the projected constitution of M. Mavrokordato agrees with the principles, that the Prince O.Wallerstein had to prepare at Paris and London, as an universal medicine for the states of Greece. We may thus hope, that in the way of a settlement, a political structure may be built, in conformity with the works of all interested parties, which will prove no small merit in Mavrokordato. It is presumed that Colletti is of a similar disposition. If not, let Ott. Wallerstein succeed in London too, and Colletti will scarcely close his ears to the counsels of Piscatory and Lyons."

Poor Colletti! A new net of diplomatic villany is thus prepared, to be cast round him at the moment, when, after six years of punishment, he plants his foot again on the land, that might have been saved by giving him birth!

But while we speak of saving Greece from European pollution, may it not be, that the disease has there already got so far ahead, as to be beyond fear of infection as well as chance of cure?

A manifesto has appeared at Athens in the revived newspaper, Eric. There are columns of miserable ranting sounds;-" monarchy," "democracy," " oligarchy," and the like;-and at the end comes this passage:

"NATURE HAS MARKED THE LIMITS OF GREECE, AND, IF CIBCUMSTANCES HAVE COVERED THEM, OUR PERSEVERANCE, OUR WISDOM, OUR PEACEABLE PROGRESS, WILL ONE DAY UNVEIL THEN, AND, BEFORE OUR BANNER, THE EAST WILL BE EMANCIPATED AND CIVILISED."

Hand in hand go party within, and dishonesty without! Well may Russia repose from her toils and smile, as she gazes on the activity of the nations where she has brought about putrefaction. Formerly there were fools or knaves, and a nation was made up of these. Now in each man both are to be found!

SERBIA.

In connection with this transaction in Greece, we must again revert to that other unhappy country. It is vain and useless our speaking to the men of England. What do they care about such things, and even caring, what influence can they have in doing justice or preventing wrong? But, perhaps, these words may reach the eye of Lord Aberdeen, or of Mr. Gladstone, or of Lord Stanley, or of some conscientious man that has access to one of them; and if so, we beg that person to place before these members of the Cabinet in whom we indulge the confidence, that they desire to do their duty, the fact that M. de Lieven is still in Serbia, that Petronievitch and Voutitch, the two patriotic and able ministers who have caused that country to weather the storm, are in exile. Their exile was decreed by foreign states at the suggestion of an enemy, because of their good conduct, and is a violation of public rights and law, in order that Serbia may be injured. The agent of that enemy is left dictator-its patriotic servants are in exile.

At the moment of the departure of these Ministers, Lord Aberdeen admitted that the transaction in reference to the re-election of the Prince would not be terminated until they were restored; he had, nevertheless, insisted upon

their departure to satisfy Russia. The English Minister for Foreign Affairs has yielded up the power of England to the settlement of a transaction upon an understanding which has not been fulfilled. We speak not here of the justice of his judgment, or the legality of his decision. We reproach him not now for the past. We take our stand upon his word. He assented to the presence of M. de Lieven for a special transaction. Prince Lieven remains after the transaction is closed. He considered the restoration of the Ministers necessary to the completion of the transaction-he suffers the matter to be completed without the restoration of the Ministers. We appeal to Lord Aberdeen as a man of private character, as one observing the forms of religious worship, and we beseech him, imploringly beseech him, to respect, at least, his own good name;-and, if he will neither do justice, nor feel pity nor remorse-let him not suffer himself to be played with!

There are further grounds for urging this matter now. England and France have acted in concert, in respect to Greece. Why can they not bring that concert to act upon Serbia? Where is the difficulty? It is not here a matter of knowledge. France being with him, why not bring the co-operation of France to bear upon Serbia, in order to fulfil the condition which he set down as requisite to the termination of the "legal election" of the Prince, which he, not Russia, proposed and has effected?

The following is from the Augsburg Gazette :

"The Russian Colonel Danilewski, designated Consul of Belgrade, who has been for the last month residing with the Russian Minister Titoff, is about to leave for his post. This nomination appears to be disagreeable to the Porte, the more so, as the late Consul Wastchenko will also remain there. Colonel Danilewski has been commissioned to organise the military administration of Serbia. It is also rumoured that this stay of the Russian Superior Commissioner is to be for a time prolonged in Serbia."

THE CONNEXION OF THE MOVEMENTS IN ITALY AND THE GREEK REVOLUTION, AND THEIR RUSSIAN ORIGIN.

The subjoined statement of the Paris Correspondent of the Times, is worthy of the most serious consideration. That such things should be in the world, and yet be kept secret, might appear incredible and awful-but what is secrecy, to the exposure of such things in vain?

The outbreak in Italy has been, indeed, delayed, stated, by the difference between the absolute republicans and the Bonapartists-but this is only a step in a long course. The extreme men, have at this moment, disturbed Russia; but the eyes, even of this section, are now turned towards her. The successive leaders, from 1819 downwards, have been in direct communication with her. Indeed, so far back as 1814, she openly assumed the patronage of a party to establish against Austria, the Italian kingdom under Beauharnais :

(From the "Times," November 20.)

A fall of 15 centimes in the French stock, which occurred yesterday, is unaccounted for, by any intelligence to be found in the newspapers of the day. The belief generally obtains, however, that it was founded on the receipt of accounts that Russia is, in respect of Greece, and, if report speaks truly, Italy, so conducting herself that exceedingly unpleasant occurrences may be expected to take place very shortly in those countries. It is said, and the German papers which will reach you herewith corroborate, that the Emperor of Russia will not only not recognise the new order of things in Greece (and which, oddly enough, he is accused of having produced), but that he will do every thing in his power to insure that the Greek monarchy be replaced on its original despotic footing. With respect to Italy, I have fresh reason for informing you that the disturbances in the Romagna, and the movements in Greece, were more or less connected with each other. You will be surprised to
