There IIow seems scarcely any reason to deniy that Sir F. ADAu quitted the seat of his Government ta visit Xap:li tli Rotnaniia, with wlhatevcr conHfience snd blustering it has been hither to assertCdl LiLt our stateMent | to that effect was falsc. It is not, however, to put our- .s-lves right with the public-amiong the rnore respectable portion of whicil we probably wtve n ver thou,ght wrong- that we resume the subject ; but to comment a little on thie terms, said, in an article of the 'f onifeer. to be imlposei by the High Commissiovi,r on the inj ureil Greeks. " It was agreed," says that article, unticr the head of a letter froin Zante, "' that the Greeks should restrict their proclaina- tioon, confining themselves to seisitsg, witilhout being ' allowe(d to destroy or confivcate, the vessels laden witlh troops, or amlmtunitivii anid previsions, for the Turks; ' the captors being bound to pay the captains the freig,hts agreed uponi with the Ottonran Govertiment, or any of its agents." It is itot po:sible that a Britislh officer can have lbrcedI upon the distressed Greeks, niow a belligerenit power, a cond!ition so unijust as that they shall 'rot only spare a neutral vessel, captured in the act of con^ vtying troops, amnmunition, or provisions for the e,emvy, but shall even pay that neutral the freight conLtractedL tor by the Power in whiose service the captured vessel was en- gage(t. This must be a slander, inventecd by the wily Frenchl against Sir FREDEP.Ici;, to disgrace us and our lRoyal representative in :he face of Christen(lon .All that we can say is, that if any such terms were ever proposed to the Oreeks, we shotiltd ito have been sorry if they liad sunk the man *vho propiosed them. lVe shall expect with anxiety further intielligence respecting all the mysterious l)roceediings of this voyage anti nPgotiatiott.
