VERY LATE FROM EUROPE.

The packet ship Silas Richards; Cal-W _H°l'
drogtz, arrived yesterday morning from Liver-
pool. having sailed thence on the 24th ofM ay,
and bro’t reguliir advices to that date.

We are sorry to have to state that Missal-
nnghi was taken by the Turks on the 22nd of
April ; but the cause of Greece does not ap-
pear to have been hopeless, as it was now be-
lieved that the Christian potvers were about to
interfere in her behalf.

Business, &Lc. in Liverpool, was iinproving,
and the sales ofcottoii had increased, at small
advance. _

The second reading ofthe Corn itnportzi-
tion bill, was to take place in the House of
Lords on the §'.3d. This bill had passed the
H. of Commons.

The Liverpool and Maiicliester Rail Way
was to be cotniiieiiced in about 2 months, and
it was supposed would require about Sycurs
to couipleic it. .

The King has given £4000 for the reliefof
the Lllsltfésed ll]llllUlaClUl't:l’S in the neiglibor-
hood of Glasgow.

The weather cold in Europe. In some parts
of Englaiirl,tlie early vegetables were destroy-
ed by frosts in May. On thr first May. llIt‘|'<*
was a lieavy fall of Snow at Atigsburg.G-criri.

An attempt has been made by a French-
man, to zissassiriate Sir HudsouLo\vc, at his
rcsitlcncc in Snryriia.

A'Liwrpool paper says, the effect of the
cold weather upon corn, nill outweigh the
proposed measures of Parliaineiit. _

A Liverpool paper of the 22-iltli, says it con
tinnes lobe coiilidenily stated, that the cause
of Greece coiiiinues to be the sirlijeci ofiiego-
tiation between sortie ofthe gffiill. powers of
Europe. Of the fact lllCl‘_P seetiis no doubt ;

this occasion is not reported ; but the obstnia-

that although between two and 3000 Greets-
perislietliii the town and at the foot of the
iiiouiitaiii, only 150 are reported to have been
ti-ilteii alive. Oftlie women and children, a
considerable iiuinber are said to have destroy-

above'8000 have licr-ii returned as prisoners.

The alarm crciiicd by their dispersion was

abandoned their posts, and sought shelter in

of the confusion the Turkish troops rushed on

‘We pcict.-ive that the fall of blissiilotiglii

triends ofGi-r-ccc, for the ultimate cotidition
of that long suffering and interesting country.
In irralriiig lirrowii the above iinfortiinate event

that the final issu--. oftlie war was irot likely,
in our judg«..ciit, to (li-pend on airy relative

The readers or The Tim_es may rely ripor
the inloririziiiorr convr-yed to them, and repeat
ed, in forriier nuinbeis oflliis journal, on the
authority of our foreign C0l‘I’esp()l]Cl6l)t3, as I--
the nature and political results of his Graci-
the Duke ot'Welliiig,toii’s embassy to the com:

was officially compelled to make-, for preven-
lllp, ll such a thing were possible, .. contest li
tween the liussiriii empire and the Pom.-, U:

latter power.

Respecting Greece, however, the Duke stic-
ceeded in a iu.iiirier the most absolute and
complete. The independence of Greece was
secured by his representations to the Russian
Cabinet. Her release from Turkey was not
left contingent on the precarious issue oflier
otvn military resources and exertions. Her
fortresses might be captiired, and her brave
men SlaUalll(‘l‘c(I. and legions of Arabs might
overrun the fields ofllie Vlorea : but the reso-
lution was announced by Engl:inrl,and Russia
concurred in it unequivocally, that Greece
sliotild no longer exist as _a slave to the Turks
Let, tliercfore, the friends of general liberty
dismiss their tears for rhe result cifthis san-
$.{llll)al‘_Y conflict; Greece will ere long be free;
and instead oftlie tuture being l't‘.ll(l€l'(’(l more
doubtful by the fall of the fortress recently
captiired,——aii event calaiiiilous only for the
innocent blood wliicli it has cost,—we are iri-
clirrcd to think that the niomeiit ofliberatioir
to theGrei-.l;s will be I-iiistened by it rather
ilrarr rotzirdi-.d. Turkey will beconie more iii-
solent 85 irnsparing: England tlierelore must,
for the Sake of honor and huinanity, be moir-
prompt in the developeiiieiit of her policy,ar-it
more vigorous and peremptory in its enforce
irieiit. If, indeed, we have allowed that the-
point ofthe late riegotiatioii which inisczirrietl
was one wliicli no address or talent could their
have sccirred——so we are bottrid to express our
regret that the object which has been attiiiiicd
with Russia by lltigtlilall-‘Ill has not been irrore
eni-rgetically followed tip and realized in fa-
vour ofGreece by our diploniatic agents at
Cunstaiitiiiople. Though the end will be the
same, a friglitfiil iiiiiss of intermediate stiffer-
ing has already tl.irs ed front the vain alleiiipt
to apply tliciiistriiiiicnt of reasoning, where

Pants, May 1 .—Every thing indicates
that hirsriilities are on the eve of coiiiinencin,-,'
lietuceii Russia and the Porte. It is said in
at Vienna li-titer, that the P.-ri'ic not only refu
st:-s to give tip her ot~ciip2rtioii of Illnltlavia and
Wirllachia, but insists that Russia shall aivr»
tip Bessariibi:r,.rcr:nrilirig to the tr'r-aty of l8t.°2.

is known at St. I’i:~ri.-rslitrrg, it will lead to or-
ders to pass the Prutli, and-it is believed tliai

The Ricbrnond Enquirer, lately publisheil
an extract ofa li-utvr. stating, that the. resig-
nation of Mr. Ki-..i<_: was known during the
last session 0fC:It)£{l”Cs‘S-lnlll the adininisti'a-
tiori intended sending Mr. Gallaiin to Eng-
land on a special mission to negotiate on two
important subjects——that when Mr King’s
desire was coriiiritinicated, the intention as to
.\'lr. Gallatin was clianged, and that Mr. G
will not be required to reiiiair zibroad after he
shall have concluded the matters of ricgoiia-
(ion with which he is clirii'gI:d. In reply to
these remarks ofthe letter writer, the Nation-
al Journal of Saturday says:

“ We have made some inquiries into the
circtimstanccs stated by the corrcsporideiit of
the Enquirer and learn tliat the propriety of]
associating Mr. Gallzitin with Mr. King was
under consideration during the last session of
Congress, not to treat separati-ly but coiijoiiit-
ly, not on two subject: only, but on all the
important questions of difference between the
two countries. These are the circuinstances
which probably led the Executive to consider
whether the public interest rniglit not be pro
inoteil by a specirrl llll<~‘l()n. In the first place.
the practice ofthe Governi.-rent :-——undr‘r \lr
Jeffersori, Mr. Pincltney was assocrzited with
illr. Monroe to treat with England ; during
Mr. Matlison’s a(llI‘lllllS[l‘iI[lt)n, a commission
of five was dcpiitcd to treat of peace and coin-
riierce; while Mr. Monroe was in office, the
same Mr.G-allatiri was sent to treat with Eng
land, in conjunction with U r. Rush. Second
ly, the very great importance of the present
subjects ofdifferences between the two coiiii-
tries, as will be instantly conceded, when it is
stated tliai among others to be adjusted. art-
our north eastern boundari-, the navigation of
the St.Lawrence, our boundary on the norilr
west coast, the colonial trade. and the slave
convention. Tliirdly, Mr. King’s ill health.
-—And lastly, the British Government has ap-
pointed two able iniriisters (Nlr. Husltisson $1.
Vdr Addiiigton)to treat wiili otirs. and has,we
understand, expressed at. expectatiori that we
also would be represented by two.
