From all the accounts that we have been able to examine, the Greek cause is advancing towards a successful issue- In Spain things wore a sullen and discontented aspect. Assassinations of the French are said to be frequent. An order has been published for quartering the soldiers at Madrid, at which the inhabitants are much discontented. The Greeks have lately received the assistance of many volunteer officers, French, English and Polish, of great experience. t'he French papers assert that the difference* between Brazil and Portugal are about to be ar ranged by the mediation or England. It appears that the French government is friend ly to an attempt to raise money for Ferdinand of Spain, without a recognition of the loans of the < ortes, and consequently, at the expense of na tional and individual hohesty. A private letter from Paris states, that in the event of a Congress of the Allied Cower*, the fate of Greece will form a leading subject of dis. cushion. It is believed that the recognition of the independence oi Greece will form the basis of this discussion, and ihat the only difficulty will be the choice of a sovereign, the Allied Powers having put forth various pretensions to this domi nation.

Or to be plainer yet—If you pay $1 S er bale of cotton from Augusta to Savannah and, ,2 per bale frolh Washington to Savannah—It by intemslimprovement the freight of cotton Dorn Washington to Savannah shall be reduced to must nseto ista; and if # # JH. eight uf oot ton from August.* to Savannah to 110th of iia pre sent rate,then you raise the value of land near Au gustr to the same, as the value of land* of a aimi- lar quality now it within ten miles of Savannah. Tilde calculations arc made upon the assump tion, that the value of lands of the like quality de lends wholly upon their distance from market, utthe value of lands depend upon ether causes. Situation tnd climate with other local advantages or di advantages enter into the conzideration in determining its value- But if land near Washington in Wilkes county should now, be as valuable as the same quality of land, situate in the neighborhood of Savannah, by reason of its greater healthfulness, or for any oth er causes, yet the force of th<* shove arguments in fnvor of internal improvement will nut be les sened i the same results are inevitable By so much as the expense of transportation of its pro* ducts is reduced, by so much must the rent ol the laud, and of course its ultimate value, be increas ed, to th* holder And this reasoning must re* main true while ever pn pinguity of situation lo market gives it any additional value over that which is remote from where a sale of its produce may be advantageously mad-, so that the land n may be rendered by internal »d' near Washington may improvement, considering its present advantages, resulting from climate and neighborhood, of greater value than the land near Savannah “FULTON.” The Richmond Enquirer, speaking of the Ue- r Edward*’* port of the Committee on Mr I strung together, Greece.—Letters from Missolonghi state, that the Greeks, on hearing of the invasion of the Mo- rea immediately despatched European Engineers to the north of tlie Isthmus of Corinth, to form an entrenched tamp for ihe purpose of offering an effectual resistance Engineers are also occu pied in raising fortifications on the side of Thebe a and on all the principal mountains By the samr channel we learn, tiiat upon the receipt of infor mation that Captain P .cha was about to set sail from CpnsUntinople with a large body of troops for the re.ief of Patras, the Greeks sent reinforce mentsto tbe blockading army, with positive in structions to carry the place by assault in the event of the Turkish Governor still refusing to capitulate.

INTERNAL IMPROVEMENT, NO 10. Canals, are not only the means of extending and increasing foreign commerce, but serve. also, tu create and augment an internal trade, which may n rhaps far exceed tbe former in extent, value and importance. Inland communications, contribute to the seen iii> as well as to the extension of commerce, in tlie' boisterous monihs of ■winter, and in time of war, when the navigation of the seas, would be at tended with danger. If we consult the records of history, we shall find that civilization and commerce, Inve very much depended on the facility with which the in habitants of remote districts, have maintained in tercourse with one -another, as well ns with distant nations. As the ocean serves to con-ect remote countries, so navigable rivers and canals, serve to unite different districts of the same country i and as navigation by means of the ocean, produces an intercourse an 1 mutual exchange of productions between different countries, in like manner inland navigation, fuiiitutes a communication between the different parts of the same country, and con sequent ly promotes trade and industry In the first settlement of lit. Unue-I State*, the plantations, have constantly followed the sea coast, or the banks of navigable rivers. The reason is obvious—It was to be near a market for Ihe heavy productions ol agriculture; hut when roads were made, tnd the rivers rendered navigable, higher up into (he country, the settlements came to be extended deep into the interior; but land was not so valuable, at a dm'ance from the chief Empori ums, as were those immediately adjace-.-t thereto, by so much as was necessarily deducted from the amount of their produce, for the price of carrying it to market. All the means therefore which will through the medium of turnpike roads, navigable rivers, and artificial canals, (and railways, when the situation of the country will permit them lobe used) lessen the expense of carrying the products of agricul ture to market, tnd of bringing back those arti cles, which are usually received in return, and which contributes so much to the comfort and the convenience of the people, must of course raise tne value of land in the interior of the country To demonstrate the proposition—suppose land ioining Savannah to be worth $40 per acre, and land ol the same quality near August a (being at tlie head of navigation) to be worth $30 per acre, while the same Iciiyl of land at Washington 50 miles higher up, oftaccount of the want of a water communication, and the consequent high rate of freight, would bring but g20 per acre. Tlie ex pense of carrying to market lessens the value of tbe land, because the object of all planters being prufi', they would not cultivate land, which diu not yield nearly the same net amount in anv part of the state. Therefore by so much, as the value of production is lessened, by the necessary reduc tion of the expenses of carrying tbe crop to mar ket, by so much must the value of the capital it land be diminished, in order that the saving of in terest upon the invested capital in land, may bal ance against tbe reduced amount of the proceeds of the crop. observes, “it ia a full acquittal of Mr Crawford.— majrrity of the Committee, it is well under stood, are ui friendly to hit election, yet so strung their sense of justice, to clear is the light ol' truth, that they have not hesitated to render this erdict in his favOr. The Report (loos r.ot pre tend to cast <ny censure upon Mr. Edwards, for die best of all reasont because they did uol con sider the case as olosedi Edwards was sent for to Washington, and it would have been precipitate in such a committee to have expressed any harsh opinion upon die witness, who might be expected to appe.r before them. We learn, however, from the best authority, that one of the most dis tinguichcd members of the committee hasdeclar ed, that if Edwards had been there at the time oi framing the Report—and if he had sworn to no new facts, the Committee would have spoken of him in tlie strongest terms of rcproua'.ion, Mr. Edwards i. now at Washington, We trust, on every accaunt, that the whole matter will be sift ed—and that justice will be done. The House oi Representatives have decided, that the Commit tec of fnveatigation may ait during the receas of Congress. Many of the friends of Mr. Crawford voted for the resolution) or it would have been lost. They wish to leave no room for doubt up onthemattvr. They are anxious that Edwards should be heard propria persona.

Ti>e Letter was therefore handed over by the Speaker to the clerk of the House, by whom it was re sealed, and is held in bis custody to be delivered to the Speaker at the next session cf Congress. The Letter is understood to have had relation to a report made by the committee on Indian Affuirs in the House o> Repsesentatives, two days previously: Mr McKepney,it will be re collected, was lately Superintendent ot In dian Affairs, and is at present, wc believe, employed tts an Agent or Clerk, to super intend that branch of the Administration u the War Department.
