FOR TEE SUN. THE GREEKS. MR. EDITOII—The accounts of the war be tween ,the .Turks and Greeks becoming daily more interesting, I offer you a few thoughts on the subject, which, I hope, may be deemed worthy of insertion. It is well known that Mol adavia and Wall ac hi a, now sub j ect to the Turks, lathy their arbit rar y governmen t re d uce d i n a t measure to depopulation, have both been the scene?rife earliest much of much cruelty and ba r b ar ity f rom th e reign of th e . Ott oman P orte . Number times: hav e th e G ree k s o f t h ose prov i nces 111) arms, to revenge themselves on their merciless rulers ; and though they were promised ass istance from Russia, yet were always de ceived and deserted by that power—let the an nals of 17 69-70 and 1797 bear witness to this asser tiort. I must observe, that the origin of so f r noch bl oo d b eing spilt in these provinces arose r ° 4l a tax being levied upon_ all unmarried fe males under a certain age ; and likewise a de 'Pa" of a c er t a i n port i on of the fairest females i ° ,` the Sultan, a t C ons t an ti nop l e . The first of "Le.se cruelties has a p ara ll e l i n hi s t ory, w i t h " : r uLc h) I do u b t not, t h at most of y o ur Readers ic e intimate—l mean that of the rebellion in Tietnt) af terwards led by the famous JACK CADE. di a L iat liers and husbands of families w ere in-' therefor at this horrible and impolitic measure, ere r ° ,re they natu ra lly fl ew t o .arms, and j 4 ,1 .,, 5 i e1l their cause by slaughtering all th e e collect o rs an d governors . Th e P orte, to .the obedi ence , sent an army w hi c h o bli ged le , G -s reeks to submit, as th e y were d es tit u t e o f lsrstance, and too feeble in their own resources idef en d themselves:-Several attempts h ave 3' ee n mad e s i nce b y t h em to s h ake off the oppres ve chains which enslaved their country, but Iv Ybout the least success ; and the tax continuing s till in force, reduced the Greeks to a state of M l isery sca rce l y en d ura b le.—Woe to the father tat had a daughter fair and beautiful ;—she was torn from - his arms for the gratification af mon s!er& l ---to say no worse of other cruelties too ttocking to mention.—All men of real virtue, 41 1 d fine feeling, prefer death to ignominy. A ja 'tifiable desire of liberty animates every breast : shameful tribute has a,t length, together 'vith other atrocities, roused the Greeks to arms; and now that they are more- collective in strength , t a lici unity than bef ore , some thi ng may poss ibl y b e rile to ame li orate their situation.—Russia seems have h e ld out t h e prospect of co-operation— if that Power really intends to release and-to re store the Greek empire to its former enlightened ' n u splendid sera, every person will look up on er With ey es of delight, and hail her as the de- Iv erer of a country, wh i ch may well be called t he Hower of the world.

ALEXANDER. PROTEST AGAINST NOT AGREEING TO THE SECOND READING OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC RELIEF lIILL.—APRIL 17. DISSENTIENT-1. Because the capacities and privileges, which it was proposed by this Bill to grant to the Roman Catholics, especially including the privilege of sitting in Parlia ment, are already enjoyed, not only by the Members of the Established Church, but also by. all descriptions of Protestant Dissenters who testify by oath their allegiance to his Majesty as the Roman Catholics are willing to do. 2. Because a disability to sit in Parliament, or to hold any office of trust or profit under the Crown, being sometimes in flicted as a punishment upon persons convicted of heinous crimes and offences, the .same disability, when applied- to the Ro man -Catholics, solely on 'account .of their religious belief, ope rates- practically against them, however unjustly . , as a kind of clegradation, and appears in sonic measure to stigmatise them as criminals. 3. Because it is undeniably true, that the Roman - Catholic Religion, be its emirs or defects what they may, is the Religion which-was universally professed in England and Ire land prior to the reign of King Henry the Eighth, an d i n S co tl an d prior to the reign a King James the Fifth ; and therefore the only" general charge which can be brought against the Roman Catholics, as such is, that they have adhered stedfastly to the faith of their . ancestors. - 4. Because experience has preyed, that howeVer desirable the conversion of the Roman Catholics to the Established Church may be, yet this object has not been promoted • by the conti nuance, of the disabilities ta which the Roman Catholics are by law subjected. • • , 5. BecAuse the happiest effects have resulted from the admis, sion of the Roman Catholics to those privileges which they at present enjoy, Iy-virtue of different Statutes, passed during the reign of his ratS Majesty. 6. Because the disability to sit in Parliament was applied to the Roman Catholics at the time when the Membdrs of both Houses of Parliament were almost universally deceived by the impbstures and' false evidence of Titus Oates, who was a few years afterward judicially convicted of perjury.

" GENTLEMEN—I feel highly gratified by the mark of : your regard which you have been pleased to present to. me. Your testimony, and that of . other of my disinterested fellow-coun trymen, will, I am sure,'speak more for me than the ex-officio insinuations of an Attorney-General can ever speak against me. I have always been willing, toto be tried by iny fellowrcountry men ; to them,, through a long public life, I have uniformly appealed ; if they approve, the loss of liberty, dear as liberty is to me; is not unaccompanied with consolation ; without their approval, and without the consciousness of rectitude, neither liberty nor life has any Charms for me. " Gentlemen—The first efforts which I shall Make after leaving these walls, will be for an .inquiry into that, outrage which filled your town with mourning, and all England with. indignation. To flatter you with a prospect that that effort will be sr,ceesthil, would beCome neither my sincerity nor your understanding. You know the place where, and the, persons to whom that appeal is to be m a d e . B ut the speaking* of truths is never alto ge th er unproductive of effect. Corru ption may defer, but 'cannot entirely ward off that blow, which one day or the-other WILL AVENGE THE WRONGS, the mani fold, the MULTIPLIED WRONGS of an injured nation. " In the meantime, Gentlemen, let us do our duty—let us conciliate all the friends of virtue and liberty, and let us take care that the enemies of virtue acid liberty gain no advantage over us, either by our untimely enthusiasm, or by what is Much I worse, our indifference or despair.

Tnn THEA.Tares. KING'S TilEA:Tltaciinired -opera of Tancredi was represented last night, Signora MAAINONI displayed mars self-possession, and proved herself to be. a considerable acquisition to this establishment. Her person is pleasing and her manner highly interesting. Her voice seems hardly powerful enough at present; bUt its strength will improve by further practice. She sings with taste and facile execution. CAMPO-. RESE is a powerful support of this opera ; which received great applause from a numerous audience. DrtuayeLANE.—A new play, entitled The Mother and Son, was represented last night at this theatre. Its fable is very improbable, and there is little striking id the dialogue. Evelyn ; the son, (COOPER), had been seduced from Mrs. Or win, the niiether, (Mrs. EGERTON), and induced by St.Alban (TxomesoN), the uncle of the late Lord Rosernore, to appear as that Lord, in order that he, St. Alban, May divide the fortune, by threatening ,Ni,elyn with a discovery if he re fused.' The confederate of St. Alban is Leonard (BaOMLEY), an innkeeper. By the assistance of Mark, the waiter, (thitt.cy), the mother and son, after many difficulties and obstacles thrown in their way by - the vile uncle and his vile con federate, are - bronght together, and Harlington, a worthy old Baronet, gives. - the hand of his daughter Rhoda (Miss SArrns6N) to Epelyn, and the piece concludes. It .was' almost wholly indebted to the merit of the performers,' particu larly cOOPER,. FOOTE, HARLEY, KNIGIIT, and Mrs. EGERTON, and. passed off with cold 'ac quiescence rather than Pattering. applause.- The farce of The Devil to Pay followed, and Miss after a long ,illness ; appeared as Nell, and was received with such warm and repeated applatse; as shows that•tlie public have still taste and feeling enough to discern and to esteem the talents of an admirable actress, and meritorious character in private life. COVENT G4npEN.--After the lively comedy of She Stoops to conquer ) admirably supported at this Theatre, last night,. an extraordinary Perforrber,named the Sieztr DAYOUST, gratifiea the audience by a most terrc exhibition, viz. walk ing with his feet on the ceiling of the Prosce nium, twirling a flag and beating a drum during his perilous peregrination. •We should condemn this exhibition as a disgrace to a National The atre, if we did not know the depraved taste of the= public, and the necessity of resorting. to any means of attraction to stlpport the daily expences of a 'vast establishment. flow well do such exhibitions justify the • prophetic words of the Poet_ " Perhaps, for who can guess the effects of chance, " fiere HUNT ynay.bOx, and MALI omE t may dance:" COURT OF KING'S BENen.L—At• ten o'clock tis morning the - Lord Chief Justice ABBOTT, and Mr, Justices "BAILEY and.

In the course of the morning several new 'Trial's Were applied for, but none of them were of any public interest. • Mr. JEFFERSON. .7. The Duke of DORSET, the English Ambassador, writing to Mr. PITT from *Paris, 9th July, 1789, .said, " Mr. JEF FERSON, the American Minister at this Court, has been a great deal consulted by the prin cipal leaders of the Tiers. - Etat ; and I have great reason to think that it was owing to }us adVice that order called itself L'Assemble,e Tamline's Life of PITT.)

British fleet, was awa re of the enterprise. Th e „French immediately fortified and garrisoned their conquest so effectually, a s t o defy any British attack 'during the war.

'LETTER FROM CART4AGENA, DATED JAN. 5.—" The CoMmissioners appointed by theAlepublican Congress and General Mo auto, to decide the line of division, &c. between the. two parties for the ensuing six months, are nowhere, and treating on the different subjects of their mission ; no doubt tranquillity will be restored, without again having recourse to arms.
