G'reecc.-Lord Holland expresses his
‘strong distrust ‘of Ministers in regard to
their foreign pelicy,and particularly as it
rela.ed to their conduct in respect of
Greece, which was as censurable astlietr
domestic policy had been praiseworthy.
After making various observations on the
, course pursued in relation teTurkey & that
country His Lordsliip,. cencluded’ by
moving the following resolution z-‘~‘ Phat
no pacification nor settlement of Greece
will appear to this House permanently ad-
vantageous to the interests of -Eur'epc,_or
advantageous to the British Crown, which
does not give to that country a territory
A snfficient for national defence by land and
sea, and does not establish there a govern-

iUSlli.l._ltl0l'IS to the wants and wishes ofthe
people, and to prote: t its subjects from all
foreign interference in. their dntnestic. con-
cerns."

The Duke of \Vr-llington, said that the
noble Lord had charged him with proceed-
ings in which he had not been at all con-
cerned, which was something he called
too bad. Government had repeatedly‘ad-
vised Tu.key to come to terms with Rus-
sia ; and he (the noble Duke) had always
contemplated no other result to the war
there, than that which had occurred, and
which should have taken place at the end
-of'he ‘first campaign. Vtlith respect to
the ability of this _country to embarlcin
gt?-ar, notwi:hstanding the distress which
prevailed, it never-was-in abetter cotidi-
tion than at present; but it was not our
policy to go to war with Russia, even if
she had been the aggressor in the Turkish
quarrel. The plan alluded to in the l{ing’s
Speech of erecting Greece into air in-
dependent territory, was the_ consequence
-ofthe pacilitation of that country being
the great object ofthe treaty to which we
were a party, it being considered that the
best mode ofensuring that pacification was
the erecting it into an itideoendent nation.
He trusted that the noble Lord would not
press his motion.

Lord Hull.-nd consented no: to press
his motion; and the previous question was
putand carried.

The Journal des Debates aunouncesthat
an expedition against Algiers is determin-
ed on. Twenty five thousand men are to
compose the army to he landed in Africa.

Thirty boys belonging to a boarding
school in the vicinity of Rouene, (France)
were skating on tneboire a few days since,
when the ice gave way, and all were
drowned. The next day the master blew
out his brains in despair.

The report in the House of Representatives
of Mr. Mnllary. adverse to any change in the
Tariff, had produced a marked efiiect in Lon-
don. Bell's VVeekl_v Messenger of the 14th
February, thus descants upon it:

Refusal of the United States to modify
their duties.-—Somc faint hopes were held
out in the Speechof the Pres'ident of the
Uni=ed S-.ates whichwere anxiously seiz-
ed hold of by some political writers in this
country laboring to support the-. principles
efF:ee Trade that the severe system of
the tariff would be re-modelled, and a freer
opening afforded to British manufacturers
in North America. \Ve said from the be-
ginning that America would prefer to char.
i:.h her own industry at some temporary
deprivation, instead of embarking in the
Free Trade System ; that the plain com-
mon sense ofthat country had not been
svtphisticatcd by the absu.d reveries of po-
litical economy , and that it was a maxim
with the Americans to protect and Shelter
lhcit‘ own native industry before they yield-

ed to the commercial claims of any other
people. The report of the Committee of
Congress upon Commerce treats the no-
tionsefFree Trade as too absurd for length-
ened discussion” They argue that a pre-
ference in their own markes for their own
industry is sacred right of-the subjects

ofevery country; :arid they decidedly as-_ ,

sort that the majority of the people throu h-
out the Unirn ‘are favorable to thetari .
Some of our own writers contend, with
the usual perversity-of the political econ-
nmsts, that this is a decision in favor of
monopolies,-arid that the persons who do.
sire monopolies to be established in their

themselves to liberal notions and Free

[After giving a summary of the Report,:__thc
Times thus proceeds.] i

It does not, und_nizbtetlly_, be_lo_.ng t-\ Eng-
land to declaim with much violence against
any “ protection,” as it is called, of na-
tive industry izi the United States. Nor,
ifit be true, as insisted on by the editor of
the American Evening ‘Post, in an article
on the “ rtcgociatiens with England," that
the tariff has occasioned a great national
animosity here against America..because
ofthe notion entertained that the meas-
ure originated in feelings of hatred toGreat
Britain, can such animosity be too soon
get rid of, as a most silly, groundless, and
unworthy sentiment. We do not believe
one word ufthe assertion that the tariff a-
rose out efany ‘dislike to England, but
merely and simply "out of that disposition
which actuatcs most nations, and none
more than England herself, to prefer .vhat
they conceive to be their own interests to
those of foreigners. Nay, were’ not the
several classes of merchants and manufac-
turers, and land-owners, in the United
States, themselves as much possessed of
that rival selfishness, and upon the. very
subject of the tariff too, as tverctlte advo-
ca:c':s ofAmcrican, in opposition to Brit-
ish manuf:ic:ure? And wlia— right have we
to quarrel with Americans for zcsttiblish-’
ing a-monopoly in their own favour to the
exclusion ofEngltsh goods ?- -‘Do we at-
tribute the furious .~apll‘lt of monopoly. evin-
ced by our own gilk mtmutacmrors,‘ our
glovers,‘our-iron. -tnasters, our .w,o_ol gt-t{tv--
ers, our .sllll5" oivn'ers, our 'agrict'ilt_ir"ralists,

men, whom they would tax,-—-nay, whom
some among them would starve,--to serve
themsclves and their own individual pro-
fits? No, it is all self-love in America,
as in England; there is, we believe, not-
witlistanding a little occasional growl be-
tween John’ Bull and Jonathan, an infin-
itely stronger disposition towards solid
ll'l8IldSlllp and fraternity between them
than between any two other nations under
heaven. So far from this moment being,
according to the American editor, (wlio
wishes to enhance the merit of General
Jackson’s Government as compared with
that of his prcdccess-»r,) unfavourable to
the success of ti negociatien with England
on behalf ofzhe United States, we think
we cart affirtn, from a pretty extensive ob-
servation efthe feelings ofthis country to
wards our trans-Atlantic brethren, that
old annoyances are hourly wearing on ,
and that there never did exist a time- when
imp’-zrtialjustice might he arrived tithe-
tween the two Governments with less risk
of interruption from national prt-jiidices
here. .

At the same time let us add, that nei-
her now, not at any period, do we con-
sider it likely that America will obtain
from this country, unless is nt-gociations
be conducted in absolute secrecy, and by
incapable ordishones- ttgenis, the conces-
sion of advantages which can only -be'yiel-
died to the injury of some itiiportant ‘Brit-
ish interest or object. M.-.. llrlci,-nno,
doubtless,is as likvly as any other individ-
ual to obtain for AlllI’l.‘lC2l wliateversho can
rightfully solicit; he is a cout-goons“ gentle-
man, shrewd, dextereus, and petjgevering ;
but we doubt whether he will succeed biz-
cause we are inclined to think he ought
not, in wresting the exclusive supply ._of_
our West India colonies from tlief North
American provinces of England, and in
transferring it to the United ‘States. A
vast portion of the prosperity of the-. Ca-
nadas depends on their enjoying this‘ traf-
llc, arid We hope that it will not, ‘by, any
act of the Duke of \Vellington’s Adminis-
"fllloflsbutaken away front them, after.
the confident prospects of its stability hold

out to the empire by Mr. .C.mning.

which cost the Government $500,000. and
which had been found by observations made
by Mr. Elliott, an eminent professor, to be
one mile north ofthe 45th degree of latitude,
andconsequetitly within the British possess-
ions. It was new in a state of .lilapidation.—-
Mr. S. considered the navy to be the strong
arm of otir national defence; that fortifica-
tions on the n-trrtliern frontier were not.’ called
f'-tr, as the U.Sta*.es had nothing to apprehend
from the Canadas Mr. Finch advocated the
resolution. He referred to the last war, and
pointed out wherein the want of fortifications
upon that parttc_ular part of the frontier had
occasioned a loss of more than quadruple the
‘expense of fortifications. The British bad
swept the Lake, sailed up the Saranac, and

extended one hundred and fifty miles upon our
country, and upon all the points along that
coast we might be considered assailable with-

thousand troops had penetrated that point.-
Vlr. Draytou considered t.li;tt. no proceedings
"should be taken on the resolution until the
boundary was established, &.c. VVhen that
was accomplished, it would be wise to defend
the frontier where it was vulnerable to the en-

had elapsed, when the House went into com-
