Hon. Col. Stanhope to John Bowring esq.Aneona—n11 novm 1823.

The German and Swiss committees have ap—pointed
five members to act for them in Greece. They
could not have selected better. Already we have
in M. Basilio Basili, an able secretary, a Greek
who speaks Italian and French. Pray address your
letters to me either here or at Sante, or the seat of
the Greek Government. I shall make the necessary
arrangements at the two former places to have them
forwarded. If they are of consequence, address
them to either under cover to some one at Geneva,
or better still to me under the feigned name of A. B.
Campbell at Ancona. I have settled that they
shall be forwarded to me from thence.

I beg of you to state to Mr Bentham, that I
have received a letter from him of the 4th Octr.
last with its enclosures and also one of the 21t
of the same month. I deeply regret to say that the
one alluded to in the former, and bearing date the
10 Octr., has never reached me. There is some con—solation,
at least to know, that duplicates have
been sent out under P's care. Could not some
means be devised of tracing the fraud, of exposing and
prosecuting the emperor of Austria for the theft of the
packet, and the money paid for the postage.o Would
that I had the time to answer Mr B's letters. They are
my proud credentials which, though undeserved, the
good must respect. They are enough to turn the
head of a soldier, whose virtues are said to grow
out of his vanities. But to the point I will do my
utmost to comprehend these papers, and to place
them in the channels of usefulness.

A few days since, a Greek vessel under nati—onal
colours, came into the porte of Ancona. All
the consuls assembled and ponderated on this affair, and
expostulated with the local authorities on it. The letter
called on Mr. Mila to ask why this ships came under
these colours? The ship is come for the purposes of
commerce. They said the vessel could not be allowed
to carry this flag. Monsr replied you will do wrong
