WAR IN GREECE.

A pamphlet with this title has been published
by Mr. Ridgway. The following is an extract :
" I will couchette this by some observations rel.•
tive to Ali Pomba, who, from his riches, his mili-
tary position, and his character, is a very impor-
tant personage to the Greeks. It is clear that as
an independent ally they cannot trust him : he will
act on so military principle'', no liberal policy ; lie
is for himself, and not for Greece; yet, if he pur-
sued his own true interest, he might make Greece
a great empire, and place himself at the head of it;
for he has money sufficient, and the Greeks must
he blind not to see the advantage of melt a leader,
if he would be satisfied with being • constitutional
Monarch. That Aliso talents are great there can be
no question, but if they were of the first order,
there is little doubt that he would have been, ere
this, master of Constantinople.
To place himself on this high throne, he must
forget his avarice, and hold faith with those he em-
ploys; unless he treats both Greeks and Euro-
peans liberally, they will not serve him, and the
former will unquestionably destroy him. The
Greeks have taken a step that stamps them as a no.
tion, and no petty Prince will be suffered to exist
amongst them. Alt's rebellion against his Sove-
reign, his being born a Greek, his high rank, his
fame, and his money, altogether enable him now
to place himself at the head of the Greeks ; but
he must act with decision: the moment once
past, will not returu. From the position of his
territories, it becomes necessary to give him the
choice of being their Sovereign, or of being treated
as a Turkish Pesch. ; for the Albanians will
detach themselves from the cause of Greece for the
sake of his personal security : sod although his caw
the of Joaonina stood firm before the banditti of the
Grand Signior, it would not resist Greece a week.
The Albanians were true to him against the Cres-
cent, but they would bind him hand and foot if he
opposed the Cross. Good faith and half the trea-
sure he pomesses, may purchase the freedom of a
whole people, and for himself, one of the greatest
thrones in Europe : with the other half he might
enjoy the repose suited to his age, while his armies
carried war and vengeance far from the walls of Jo.
aunina, and even beyond the Bosphorous ; the only,
exertion required of him would be a journey to his.
capital.
There can hardly be a doubt but that the Greeks.
would accept Ali for their Emperor, because his
interests would be theirs. The regal power that be
has long held io Greece prevents any jealousy it
his exaltation, which would not be the case with.
one raised from among themselves; hi has, in fact,.
long been sovereign : they want money, and he
can give.it to them. It may be mid that he is a
tyrant ; and I ask, who is not,? What nonsense
to fear the character of your Sovereign; is he net a
single man ? does he not accept the crown condi-
tionally ? and cannot five millions of people hold
him to his contract ? A people armed for the re-
covery of their liberty can have no fear of an indi-
vidual : the essence of a limited monarchy is. that
the personal qualities of a Sovereign are not of vital
importance to the nation. The good that Ali can
do to Greece is very great; he is the cord which
may bind the bundle of faggots, and neither Ypsi-
lanti nor any other Greek can do it so. effectually
Can the Greeks imagine, that the Sovereigns of Eu-
rope will allow a republic to start up amongst them?
Certainly they will not: the world is divided in opi-
nion as to the advantages of this form of government :
at all events. the Sovereigns of the Holy Alliance
are not those who will sutler the experiment to he
made. The Greeks must have a Sovereign. or they
will have every European Cabinet against them :
and who cati they choose ? Not a Prince allied to
auy European Sovereign, the others would not
consent to it : not one of present low rank in life,
every Greek will be jealous of him ; and an up-
start placed on a throne by accident, and not by
transcendent abilities, is ill calculated to produce
concord and vigour; qualities, at present, of
•ital necessity to Greece. Every general would be
his rival, rather than obey him, and the safety of
the empire would be sacrificed to private feuds ;
but Ali, unallied to any Sovereign, long treated
by all of them as ant independeut Prince. ha-
bituated to rule the Greeks, and with whom no
Greek cau compete in point of dignity ; who pos.-
sesses a commanding character ; who, although he
would be obliged to bend to the constitution of
Greece, will pillow na individual chief to brow-beat
him ; Ali. I repeat, is the man above all others
most fitted fur the crown of Greece; and, among
the Greeks. most capable of aiding her its the pre.
sent contest. The writer of these pages is no 'M-
onier of Ali Pascha's character, but he sees clearly
that the cause of this proud Alberni!, chief, and
that of the Grecians, is one : as their soveretgn,
he would prove a hoot; us their ally, lie would be
weak anti faithless. and die courage of his Albeni.
ans would be paralized by his fear and Isis cunning.
The wily Chief is aware, that unless as their King,
hia own safety would he compromised by the success
of the Greeks ; let Greece, then, at once tiller him
a constitutional crown, fur which he should assist
them with his treasures: the conditions would be
guaranteed by mutual interest. That great and
only safeguard against tremors'', will preserve such
a contract between Ali and Greece. Whether Ali
will have greatness of mind enough to see all the
advantage of such a step, and courage enough to
take it, is a question which he mime can answer ;
but if he once takes it, he cannot retreat, for the
Greek people will hold Mtn to his duty.
