TUESDAY, J/INUARY 15, 1522.

While the grand question of peace or war be-
ll'Esen the Porte and Russia continues undeter-
►nhned, and all the politicians of Europe are
`training their sagacity with speculations on what
known, and conjectures on what is uncertain,
the Greeks are still making new acquisitions of
territory and tstrong places, and apparently in-
cr''cis.ng in zeal and confidence. The protracted
t,ociati•on between the two great neighbouring

7wers, whatever may be its final result, is to
fitese insurgents, if the opportunity be rightly
and improved, a source of inestima-
bk advantage. If, contrary to the opinion most
Prevalent at this time, hostilities between Russia
and Turkey should by any means be averted, the
eery existence of the Greek people may per-
haps depend upon their exertions in the present
interval ; and upon those exertions may depend
'lll but their existence, though Russia should ul-
timately take the field. It is an error to suppose
that any consummation worthy to be called a
deliverance of Greece can be effected without
the strenuous and continued efforts of the Greeks
themselves. Undoubtedly it is important, per-
haps it is indispensable, that in the early part of
the conflict some powerful diversion should take
Place in their favour ; but the final issue of the
struggle will be glorious and beneficial to them
In proportion only to the part which shall have
been contributed to it by their own exertions, we
may even add by their own sufferings. Those who
have been long degraded by servitude are not ren-
dered a free people by the accidental and sudden
removal of the pressure which bore them down.
