Prince Leopold to be the King. On this subject the Middlelon (Conn.) Sentinel "remarks. " 'Prince Leopold, it appears, has been selected, by three of the powers t)f Europe, as the future Sovreicrn of Greece. '- If the, Greeks accept of him as their master, it will to use an f old &ayiug be like "jumping out ot the frying pan into the fire! We bad "supposed, that that oppressed people, in their last struggle, were fighting for freedom and liberty, and not for slavery in a new form.

Advertiser con tain smaller quantity of matter of general interest, we have ob- serv-d at almost any former pe- riod. Parliament not being in session, there is nothing in the state of things in Great Britain, of a domestic nature, beyond the trials of some editors of a newspaper in London for libels, and occasional speculation up on the situation of Ireland, to excite the puhlic feeling, or attention.

His relationship to the reigning family of "Great Britain, and the' long acquaintance the people of tljat country have had with him, may naturally beftipf posed to operate in his favour there; and Hussia, not having it in her power to furnish the new i on arch, will be quite as a likely to be Uatisfied- with Prince Leopold, as atiy other individual that, might be selec ted.
