THE CORONATION. The following Letter • from Lord Sinmotrrn has been received by the Surveyor-General of his Majesty's Office of Works : Whitehall, July 21, 102 . , Sin--I am commanded by his MAJESTY to express to you his MAIEsTY's entire satisfaction at the preparations made by the Office of Works for the august Ceremony of his MAJESTY'S Coronation, and at the care, attention; and diligence with which the duties of yourself, and of tkose under your authority, were discharged on that great and important occasion. I have the honour to be, Sir, Ycur most obedient humble Servant, SIDMOUTH Benj. Chas. Stevenson, Esq. Surveyor-General of the Board of Works. PROVINCIAL CELEBRATIONS. 13r1roax.—On the Coronation day a bullock was roasted on the Common. At 12 o'clock it was taken from the fire, and removed to a platform, a band of music playing " 0 the Rciast Beef of Old England ;" when Mr. Scarf (to whom many thanks are due for his exertions) and assistants began to carve it. It was then laid on dishes, ancl when all cut up, distributed to the populace, they having previously received bread and beer. At the same town J. Seall, Esq. gave a dinner to upwards of 200 persons of roast beef and plum pudding. There were also se veral other dinners given to the poor by different persons. The principal inhabitants and tradesmen dined at the Tuns Inn, whei; an excellent dintser was provided, and the day pased off with general satisfaction. A bonfire was to have finished the day, but it was demolished without fire. Though this was a dark occurrence Some light has been thrown on the principal actors. Every part of the town was decorated with boughs, Sags, &c. CVs paronE.—His Majesty's truly loyal subjects, the inha bitants of the parish of 'Wedmore, in the county of Somerset, were not backward in celebrating the Coronation of their au. gust Master. The morning was ushered in with a merry peal, and repeated discharges of guns, &c. Nearly the whole of the inhabitants attended the Church, where a most appropriate and patriotic sermon was preached by the Rev. John Richards, their worthy and benevolent Vicar. After which, the principal inhabitants, attended by the labouring classes of all descriptions, p roceeded to an adjoining field, whe re th ey toget h er sat down and regaled themselves with beef, mutton, plum-pudding, and excellent cider. After din ner , t h e Ch ampion appeared in mi litary costume, which had a fine effect, and the assembled mul titude imniediately arose, and heartily joined i n th e nat i ona l anthem of " Go D save the King." The Wedmore Band at tended, and played many national airs. Good humour univer sally prevailed ; many joined in the merry dance, and the day closed in perfect harmony. PRESTON.—The morning of the Coronation was ushered in, ie this town, by r i ng i ng o f t h e b el l s at the parish church. The Royal Standard of England was hoisted on the battlements of the steeple, and was there seen waving in demonstration of the general joy during the whole of the day All the shops were shut, and business of every kind, except such as was connected with the public festivity, was totally at a stand. One of the principal anticipations was a procession of all the children, of whatever denomination, educated in the charitable institutions of the town ; and the dinner which was afterwards given to them, for which purpose tables were set in the Market-place, and a strong guard of railing was erected to protect the children from the pressure of the crowd. At about half-past nine the children, amounting to 3,234, beg an the procession through the principal streets, a ll very neatly apparelled, wearing in front tickets, with the motto '• Long live the King," and most of them having coronation medals hanging from their necks. Se veral bands of music were interspersed in the procession. They afterwards proceeded to the Market-place, where they sat down to a dinner of roast beef and plum pudding, during which the .1d Royal Lan cas hi re Militia played the old 100th Psalm, " God save th e Ki ng ," w i t h ot h er nat i onal airs. A grand ball and suppe r t oo k p l ace i n t h e evening, and the Great Obelisk, in the middle of the Market-place, was brilliantly illuminated. We did not hear of a single accident happening. The day passed off with the greatest quietness and good humour. WnsTnnoazwiNine hundred persons were sup . plied with meat, bread, arid ale, to regale themselves and families at their own houses. The National and Sunday School children also received refreshments and medals commemorative of the occasicn. ConSAL re—The children of the National School, about 150, were treated with a good dinner of roast beef and plum-pud ding; the Vicar and principal inhabitants were present, and after witnessing the general appearance and cheerfulness of the children, dined together; and the younger branches of their families were ente r t a i ne d w i t h a d ance in the evening. A large quantity of beef was distributed among the poor the preceding clay. TUNBRIDGE WELLS.—On the day of the Coronation, every thing gave way to a simultaneous display of loyalty and rejoicing, in various ways, according as the idea suggested.— ' A dinner in honour of the occasion was provided at the Sussex Hotel for the Gentlemen of the place; but owing to the ab sence of many, which the occasion called away, it was not nu merously attended. Many loyal and appropriate toasts were given and drank. Several of the party afterwarda attended the Ball at Sprange's Rooms, (denominated the Coron a ti on B a ll ) where all th e b eauty and fashion-of the place were assembled, dressed superbly on th e occasion • and the Rooms decor a t e d with addition a l li g h ts , a l so a we ll executed transparency of a crown, with the words " God save the King." The illumina tions in the evening were gener a l, an d t h e e ff ect o f the fancy scenery which the Paradedisplay e d (so peculiarly adapted for it) was romantic beyond conception. At BERWICK the morning was ushered in by ringing of bells, and at eight the royal flag was hoisted on the ramparts, and a royal salute fired by the revenue cutters, Mermaid an d Stork. These v esse l s , as we ll as a l l the others in the harbour, were decorated with all their flags, colours, &c. At ten, agreeably to - the recommendation of the Mayor, the shops were shut. Soon after, the Mayor and Magistrates, accom panied by several gentlemen, walked in procession to the church, where an appropriate sermon was _preached by, the Rev. J. Barnes, vicar. after which a liberal collection was made in aid of the auxiliary fund of the Savings Bank. At one the cutters fired another royal salute. Numerous parties dined at the printipal inns, and the evening was s p en t i n t h e greatest conv i v i a li ty and good humour. A little past five, when his Majesty's he a lth was drank by the company in the King's Arms, the cutters fired another salute, and in the evening exhibited a number of rockets, which had a very fine effect. The da y, _ upon the whole, w as spent very A gree a bly, w i t h out the smallest symptom of riot or disorder. Lieuts. Chesshire and Fraser, commanders of the revenue cutters, gave a liber a l ent er t a i nment to t h e respect i ve crews. Amidst the festivities of the day the prisoners in the gaol were not forgotten. The Mayor made them a handsome present, which enabled them to rejoice with his Majesty's other loyal subjects. [To be continued.] The Gazette of last night contain addresses to the KING from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Maybole, Hertford, Colchester, Stratford-upon-Avon, and other places, congratulating -his MAJESTY on the late august - Ceremonial which has confirmed the bond of union between him and a free and loyal people. On the day of the Coronation the Officers of the Bucks Yeomanry were entertained with wine and sandwiches at the house of Sir HENRY PEY TON, in Grosvenor-place, by his son, Mr. PEYTON, who had on that day come to town from Eton College. When Sir HENRY came home in the evening from Westminster Hall, his son told him he had entertained the Officers, and expressed a hope that he had not done wrong. ' 6 No," re plied Sir HENRY ; ' 6 y ou h ave d one right; but you would have done better had you entertained the men also." And a message was immediately sent to the Officer commanding the corps, re questing that the men might be allowed to come up to the house in parties, as they could be spar ed. The request was complied with ; and every man in the regiment was regaled with two glasses of wine and a biscuit. FOR THE SUN. ON THE DRAMA. ---- In vitium libertas excidit_ et vim Dignam LEGE regi.-11on. De Arte lon. Ma. Eorron—The flattering notice which you were pleased to take of my remarks on the present state of our Theatres did not tempt me immediately to resume the subject, because I etill entertained the hope which I had therein ex pressed, that some abler pen than mine would yet do it justice: Of that hope I have been disappointed ; and undeserving as any thing which I can offer may be of the notice of your Correspon dents, the subject itself is far from being so. The most import ant interests of British taste and British literature are involved in it ; and those who feel any regard for the welfare of either, will do well to give it their serious attention. Regretting, then, sincerely as I do, that no other of your Correspondents has taken up this subject, and perfectly aware of the total ineffi ciency of my own unassisted efforts, I will just offer a few ob. servations more and have done. The public may care little enough for the opinions of a retired and obscure individual ; yet to him it will afford no small satisfaction to feel that his pro test has been entered against the miserable degradation of his Country's Drama, and that his exertions, however puny, have yet been put forth against the overwhelming torrent which bids fair to tear away this noble page from the volume of our na tional literature. Since the publication of my last letter, the opinion which I there avowed has been but too abundantly confirmed, namely, t hat the system acted on by our great theatres was pursuing our drama to its annihilation. I could not have conceived it pos sible, rapid as was evidently the progress of this destructive system, that in a fortnight from the date of that letter, PRIZF:- FIGHTERS WOULD HAVE EXIIIBITED SPARRING MATCHES ON THE BOARDS OF DRITRY-LANE! Such, Sir, however, is the disgraceful fact ! On this circumstance indignation has ex torted some remarks from a few respectable London prints ; but still nothing has been started in the way of remedy to so gross and palpable an evil. Accident, however, has done something towards it, as a fall will sometimes set a dislocated limb. Kean has returned ( just in time, perhaps, to prevent his place from being occupied by the bcinassus), and this is stall dent to insure to us (for a few nights in the weak, at least) the representation of the legitimate drama. The cause of the drama, then, which was fast declining, has made one desperiste rally ; and it b ecomes t h e d uty of all its well wishers to suport manfully this its last charge on the hitherto victorious ranks of folly. But the dramatic muse will in vain gain the day, if her empire is still open to invasion; it is not enough to repel the enemy ; effectual means must be taken to prevent her from again profaning the sacred citadel. These means, I shall, Sir, in a few words, endeavour to sug gest. I repeat, that I greatly regret that none of your abler correspondents have thrown out any hints for the attainment of this great object ; but, as this has not been done, I shall make the attempt myself. It is a curious fact, that although the minor theatres are rigourously prohibited from the representa tion of plays, the Theatres Royal are not under similar restric tions with regard to " romances," " melodramas," &c. &c , and the reason of this is evident ; it never entered into the con ception of the legislature that establishments so highly privi leged as are the Theatres Royal, • would ever intrude on the rights of inferior concerns, especially when such intrusion would be an act of self-debasement, and disgust every true friend of the purposes for which they were founded. But, impossible as this might seem to the Governments which licensed our Theatres Royal, experience has demonstrated its feasibility; and al though such an abuse might not then have been contemplated, and consequently, no provision made against it, now that it has actually taken place, it is time to legislate for its removal. A very concise method, therefore, of restoring the national drama to its proper dignity, would, as it appears to me, be to prohibit the performance of all dramatic representation whatever, in the place of plays, on the boards of our Theatres Royal. Let them give what entertainments they will (provided they be dramatic} after the play ; but let a play be a necessary and the principal constituent of the evening's amusement. This regulation Would, moreover, be an obvious act of justice to the managers of the minor theatres, whose province is most shamefully in vaded, while they are not allowed the most partial retaliation. I am not insensible that this plan might be open to some ob jections ; what they might all be, the natural limits of an article of this kind would not allow me to consider, much less to refute them ; two, however, I will mention, as the most ob vious, which, I think, are capable of an easy confutation. rt may be said that a measure like that which I have suggested would be harsh and oppressive, as it would go to curtail those privileges'which the managers of the theatres supposed guaran teed to them at the time when they embarked their property in their respective concerns. It might also be said that the theatres would suffer from the representation of the regular drama, by the diminution of the audience. To the first of these objections I reply, that the managers are already VIR TUALLY prohibited from exhibiting any thing but the regular drama, though they do not incur any legal penalty for violating this prohibition ; as no person can conceive that it was ever con templated by the legislature that the conductors of these estab lishments should encroach on the province of the minor theatres. I know of no law which restricts the manager of a theatre royal from making a picture gallery of his house, yet we should be somewhat surprised at hearing such a person gravely urge that he had found this appropriation of it more PROFITABLE than its regular object, and had therefore re tained it. But, absurd as such a plea would be, it would be scarcely more so than that which is contained in the first of these objections. • If the managers of the theatres royal think they have any more RIGHT to convert their houses into " the Royal Circus," or the " Royal Coburg," than into the " Exhi bition of the Royal Academy," they are much deceived ; there is no law against either; but common propriety is as mucl against one as the other. In replying to this first objection, I feel that I have also con futed the second. The falling off of the audience can never be an excuse for the substitution of an entertainment wholly alien from the purposes for which a Theatre Royal was designed.— But it may be well to pursue the grounds of this objection far ther. The Manager may tell us, that he regrets extremely the national taste, but that he must necessarily be ruined if he did not minister to its depravity. Admitting the national taste, or, more properly, the taste of the mixed population of the Metro polis, to be, in this respect, very bad, who, it may fairly be asked, FIRST exiled the legitimate drama from the national boards, and introduced the trash which now disgraces them, the people, or the Managers ? The Managers did it, with the hope of more crowded houses ; and tha expectation succeeded. But do they tell us that they actually LOST, when Shakspeare held the place now occupied by French " romances," which the FRENCH TIIEATRE ROYAL would not represent ? If they did not, they were BOUND to continue the regular Drama; if they did, application should have been made to Government.— I have before alluded to that noble national Theatre, the THEATRE FRANCAIS, supported by the French Government, and still think that a portion of the public motley might be em ployed with much advantage in maintaining the respectability of our Theatres, if it should be found that, on restoring them to their original purposes, the receipts should not be adequate to the expenditure. But, for my own part, Ido not think any such result to be apprehended ; it might be, in general, fairly. inferred, that a larger audience would attend a shewy,,emean T z , ing, rattling " romance" than a regular play ; yet, I 'co?tfes";- my own experience of the Theatres is against this deduction, as I have invariably observed crowded houses, whenever Mrs. Siddons, or Kemble, or Kean, have performed, and when, of course, the standard productions of the British Muse have been the order of the evening. I apprehend that the extent ofthe evils resulting from the pre sent management of our great Theatres, is, in general, very im perfectly considered. Many who look with hearty contempt on the trash with which our modern stage is inundated, are little apprehensive of any serious injury accruing thence to our Na tional Literature. They take up their Shakspeare, enjoy him in their closet, and turn from the Theatre with disgust. But this is not as it should be. The drama was designed to be act ed ; its very name is derived freirn action ; and when it shall cease to be acted, though some may write " nr.AmATIcK POEMS," there will be an end to plays. This assertion derives strong corroboration from the very few plays of talent which the present century has produced, and the unpopularity of those, except where occasionally a raree-show has been thrown in as a bribe. Stage representation certainly is part of a play, and therefore Aristotle calls the CC O'jin a NECESSARY part of the drama * ; but the same great critic observes, that, although 1 . , necessary, it is that part which partakes of least skill, and rather belongs to the art of the property-man, than that of the poet j-. This is precisely a plain etaternent of the real case. The persons therefore above alluded to, who view the proceed ings of the great London Theatres with indifference, as long as they can enjoy in their closets the classical dramatists of their country, are, however little they suspect it, as truly, though not as fatally insensible to the true interests of the drama, as the indiscriminating crowd which they despise, and which takes this meanest part of the whole drama fur its very essence and spirit. I hope the interest and importance of the subject which I have been considering will apologize for this, especially as it is not my intention to trouble you with any farther observations on the matter. If these should excite the attention of a single Correspondent to the subject, my aim will be in some measure answered. Ido not wish any opinion which I have expressed to be defended or attacked, at least to- enter into a controversy, for which I have as little leisure as inclination. All I wish is, to call forth the exertions of better heads and stronger hands in L the cause ; and I should be heartily rejoiced to see my theories and schemes overturned and exposed, if better were substituted. My only motive in taking up my pen (which, as you see, lam but ill accustomed to wield) was zeal for the honour of my country's stage, and my only object, to kindle the energies of those who might yet, if they would, have the glory of restor ing it to its ancient splendour. I am, Sir, your very humble servant, DR.AMATICUS Aristot de Poet. XIV. t Id. Ibid. XV.

SOLRM QUIS !WERE FALSUM AUDEJT? LONDON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 1, 1821. We received thi's morning the Paris Journals of Sunday which contain further details of the horrid cruelties committed by the Turks at Con- stantinople. The report of War having been de dared between Russia and ,Turkey wants confir. mation, but the negociations carrying on between the two Imperial Courts of Austria and Russia, the advance of their forces towards the Turkish frontiers, and the military preparations on the part of the Porte, render it probable that if hos- tilities have not already commenced, they will not be delayed much longer. Besides soliciting the interference of this Country and France, the Grand Seignior has sent an Agent to the Schah of Persia on a mission of the highest import ance ; but as the Russian influence at that Court is very powerful, we doubt much whether the negotiations of the Porte will be attended with greater success there than his orders to the Dey of Tunis and Pacha of Egypt have met with obedience from those tributaries, both of whom have refused to send their ships of war into the Archipelago to be employed against the Greeks. Little intelligence respecting the progress of the Greek insurrection is communicated ; but the few particular's which are given afford matter of joy and exultation to every well-wisher to the cause of Greece : " PARIS, Jur.Y 29.—Private letters from the frontiers of Turkey, dated the 25th and 26th of June, say that the Dey of Tunis has refused to comply with the application of the Porte to the Barbary states to send their ships of war into the Archipelago, to he employed against the Greeks. FRENCH FtltrD3. July 28, Five per Cents. 4 B6 f. 90 c. Bank Stock CoNsTk.kr WOPLE, Jtkiq 24.—During more than a 'month pait„ our ci'ty'llat betn S N o itihtienceng of blotdp and' barbarous atrocities, of which no idea can be formed in the happy coantry you inhabit. The most horrible are, in the first place, the drownings, which have been daily repeated during the last fortnight. Men and women are conveyed on board the vessels before Scutari, where they are tied in half dozens, hand 'and foot, and thrown into the sea; this being done when the wind is in a southerly direction, the bodies of these ill-fated, victims are cast on shore before Constan tinople. The Turks then assemble on the beach, anti, with savage ferocity, fire, with pistols, at the inanimate remains, and cut them in pieces, which they throw to the dogs. They are par ticularly rancourous against the inhabitants of the Mama; the populace seize every native of this provihce whom they can discover, and if he has not sufficient money about him to prove that he is not a Morean, his throat is instantly cut. But the most horrible scenes were those which took place after the defeat of the Turkish fleet in the Archipelago. On the wrecks reaching the coast, a new massacre commenced, and the drownings were doubled. It is impossible to describe to you our state. Every day we witness horrors at which human na ture shudders. History offers no example of such multiplied barbarities, perpetrated with so much sang froid upon defence less and peaceable beings.—A new fleet is actively preparing here. The seamen are, in general, composed of the Greek shoe-makers of the Archipelago, who are forced to go on board; but if this fleet should sail, it will only serve to increase the na val forces of the Greeks. ' " VIENNA, JULY 18.-G reat activity reigns here in - the Government Offices. A Special Com mission, composed of Members of the Aulic Council, is appointed to superintend the move ments of troops on the frontiers of Turkey. It is said that three armies are to be formed, one in Transylvania, a second in the Bannat and Smyrna, and the third in Sclavonia and Croatia. The Aulic Council, it is affirmed, have sent orders to several regiments in Bohemia to march to the Eastern Provinces. Cl The Austrian Observer still maintains the greatest silence respecting the affairs of Greece. This silence is very amazing to our politi cians, because they feel convinced that it is only through this demi-official Journal they can receive certain information, touching the existing relations between Russia and the Porte. " Our cordon on the frontiers of Turkey re ceives daily reinforcements, but the strictest neutrality continues to be observed. " FRANRFORT, JULY 23.—We learn from Odessa that the Counsellor of State, Mintschaki, • . has been sent from Constantinople to Petersburg with dispatches. " AUGSBURG, JULY 23.—1 t is reported tha he Ottoman Porte has sent to the Schah 'of Per. sia an Agent on a Mission of the highest impor. tance. On the other hand it is said, that the Court of Petersburg has also opened a negocia- tion with this Asiatic monarch. " We have received letters from the Banks o the Danube, stating that the Hellenes are corn plete masters of Salanica, and threaten seri. ously the town of Seres. A great part of Mace donia is also in the power of the insurgents, who are manoeuvring to cut off the retreat of the Otto man troops in Albania. " The news of a Russian corps having entered Moldavia is . not yet confirmed. All the reports respecting the movements of the Russians are very contradictory; but it will not be long before we shall learn the definitive resolution of the Cabinet of Petersburgh. As:to Austria, she con tinues to take measures of precaution, by sending large reinforcements to the cordon of troops on the Turkish frontiers, and especially in the Banuat and Temeswar." Jamaica Papers arrived this morning, to the 14th June, by the Packet. [From the Royal Gazette.] " Letters from Panama, recently received, contain several interesting particulars respecting the of of Peru. By advices from Lima, up to \ thp 10th March, it appears that the Spanish Commander-in-Chief, General LA SERNA, had been appointed Viceroy, which had given great satisfaction to the inhabitants in all the Provinces south of Lima, and also in Upper Peru. The most perfect tranquillity reigned, and no appre- hensions were entertained from the troops of Chili: the inhabitants of Lima feel themselves superior to any attack of SAN MARTIN'S army, the Chilian Commander having been roughly handled at Guacho, his late head -quarters, in an action with the Spanish troops, from which he was obliged to retreat upon Truxillo, having suffered a considerable loss in cavalry. The ad vices from Lima mention the arrival at Callao of a ship of immense value from Calcutta, belong ing to the Philippine Company : she was fired upon by one of Lord COCHRANE'S cruizers, but got into port. The troops of Lima are repre sented to exceed 10,000 men ; about 8000 of them are European veterans: add to these 4000 European Spaniards in the city of Lima under Audi ; and as the whore of the country, except- , ing was open ) there was no danger rot want of flour. 4C Accounts from Saint Thomas's state, that Puerto Cabello had fallen into the hands of the In kts, and that the Sapphire and another an-. f-war, had• pr ceeda Misthat port to bring a% ay any of the inhabitants that may be desirous to quit it. " General M c GREGOR was forming a colony on the Mosquito shore, the Indian King having ceded to him a vast territory. " The Government of Chili has notified to General BOLIVAR, that a 64-gun ship and two brigs of wat had sailed to cruize off Cape San Buonaventina, to intercept some vessels from Old Spain. " We learn from Santa Martha that several regiments have embarked for Cape San Buona . ventina from Guyaquil to join the forces there, and attack Quito on different points." It is with most heartfelt pleasure that we ob serve the rapidly increasing interest which has been excited in favour of the oppressed, sutler ing, and nobly struggling Greeks. We were right in saying that a spirit was awakening which would rouse all England, if not all Europe, to active exertion in behalf of outraged Chris-. tianity, and of human nature, insulted and trampled upon by the ferocious Government arid barbarian subjects of the Porte. Having ob served that the sympathies of the British public had at length begun to be powerfully acted upon by the successive accounts of the wretchedness of the Greek nation, and of the butcheries and de vastations of their atrocious tyrants, we ventured, 1 ,, at the favourable crisis, to implore our country men for a moment to suspend their own political animosities, and to combine all their energies for the production of a generous effort for the salva tion of Greece, and for the redeMption of En rope and of Christendom from the opprobrjoil; blot with which the insolerice of an Asiatic horde of infidels and savages had for centuries been permitted to cover and obscure one of the brightest and most interesting sections of th e globe, upon which the sun of civilization had ever shone. We recommended- that the publ ic; opinion of England should manifest itself by means of the press, by public meetings, and by pecuniary aids to the cause of. Grecian emanci pation. This call upon the humanity and gene rosity of the Public begins already to be nobly answered. We rejoice to see that the liberation of Greece, and the justice, the policy, the neces sity, of interference for her rescue, by the grea t , European P owers , f orms a l ready the princ i pal daily theme of most of tife Public Journals that the pre - Ss also begins to pour forth numerous pamphlets, both original productions and trans lations, consisting of political essays on the exist ing relations of Turkey with the rest of Europe, and on the vast advantages, moral, political, and commercial, to be derived from her regenera tion, and of eloquent appeals to the wisdom, the policy, the justice, the generosity and gratitude: and even the interest, of the enlightened nations of Europe, in support of the pressing demand Whic h on all these grounds is made upon them by the con dition of theill-fated Greeks. One of these produc tions, entitled " The Cause of Greece the Cause 0 1 Ezerope,"a transl a ti on f rom t h e G erman, pu bli s he d yesterday, warmly recommends a course some what similar to that which we suggested. 46 The, 10 Greeks cann o t ex p ec t more, nor need they 'l' more, than that the European Governments should permit the assistance of their cause b .: 7 money and volunta r y participation of e nthusias t ic individuals. There is no doubt but many war riors of most of the European armies would joY; fully join in the contest,as soon as they were assure" of the approbation of their Governments, and of the . continuance of th e en j o y men t o f t h e i r c i v il awl military rights. And where could the desire for action, so much excited during recent even ts ' find a worthier subject ? • The spirit of chivalry is not yet extinct ; and the idea of a struggle fo r the deliverance of a subjugated nation can yet inspire noble minds with ardour and enthusiasm. Many would gladly share in such e a combat; an d l arge sums would every where be collected, did th e pro j ect b ut rece i ve pu blic sanction.—lt is not iron alone, but gold as Wei l ! which decides the fate of war. This, then, is the assistance which the Greeks desire. Sli elj assistance would excite the jealousy of no f tv ropean pow er , an d consequently would occasiorice no counter-operation; and finally, such assist li i l o c could be afford e d w ith out compulsion or the r by of involving any nation in a war un require e its own. interests.—To procur e suc h ass i s ts° , the object of thi s a pp ea l : would it might con of tribute to excite the public interest in favou r in , a cause amon g th e mos t i mportant as wel l as teresting of th e tithe, however inferior . it, se magnitude.
