GREECE
Liverpool, Oct. 29.--The affairs of Greece present somewhat of a more favorable aspect than they have lately exhibited, for though the carnage and the loss of life which have attended this sanguinary contest have been most afflicting, yet the patriotic troops, unappalled by danger, and unsubdued by suffering, still maintain the contest in every quarter of the country, with a spirit worthy of the sacred cause in which they are engaged. Without meaning to pledge ourselves for the accuracy of the accounts which have been recently received, we may be allowed to state that they are too circumstantial to allow the supposition that they are entirely fabricate, and that though they may not be free from exaggeration, we may fairly draw from them this inference, that the affairs of the Greeks are not in a desperate state, and that the contest is maintained with that degree of zeal and perseverance which authorizes the hope of ultimate success.
