GREECE.

If the treaty between North America and
Greece, which has been mentioned in the public papers, is
actually concluded, and if the Greeks are to receive money and
assistance of every kind, in exchange for the possession of Melo
for a number of years, they are now aided in a manner so as
they never before were. England indeed suffers by the giving
up of this island, because it sees the naval force of America
approach her more nearly, but; on the other hand, does not the
interest of Greece suffer by England allowing the fortresses,
yet possessed by the Turks, to be well provided with ammuni-
tion and provisions from the lonian Islands, and thus, while
the bloodshed is increased, hindering the victorious progress of
the Greeks ? It is indeed beyond doubt, that the greater part
of the Sovereigns of Europe think with seriousness of the
means of consolidating the 'freedom of the Greeks, so often
conquered by the blood of heroes, without at the same time
entering into a war with the Mahomedans. Providence has,
therefore, wisely ordered it that the Greeks should liberate
themselves. It is probable, however, that England has hither-
to opposed, with all its power, the fortifying any point which
promises to the Greeks personal freedom, the free practice of
their religion, security of property, and equality in the eye of
the law ; and its Ambassador, therefore, at the Congress of
Vienna, might probably reckon on very great opposition. If
the words of Lord Londonderry, " I can bear it no longer—it
destroys me," are taken into consideration, it appears that this
great diplomatist saw before hand the immense difficulties
which awaited him at Vienna, since they even brought him to
madness.—(Nuremberg Correspondent.)
• TRIESTE, Aua. 27.—According to the latest news from
Corfu of the 16th instant, it is certain that the Turks, even be-
fore the arrival of their fleet, which appeared 15 days ago in
that neighbourhood, made a diversion in Morea by means of
an expedition sent from Lepanto. The Greeks assert that
Christian vessels transported the Turkish troops across the
Gulph. At the same time Jussuf Pacha marched by land from
Patras on Argos ' • thus the Greeks who are acting offensively
against Chourschid Pacha in Thessaly find themselves threa-
tened in their rear. The next 'reports are expected with
impatience, and if the news of the complete defeat of Chour-
schid, received by Durazzo, is not confirmed, every thing
would be to be feared for the Morea. The Turkish plan of
operations bears the stamp of European tactics, and the Greeks
assert that English agents direct them. What can be hoped
for the Greeks who, just risen from infancy, havo to contend at
once against the Turks and against European tactics ?
Atm. 28.—Private letters from Cephalonia, of Aug. 14, an-
nounce the taking of Vostilza and Xilo Caitro by .Tussuf Pacha,
who was seeking to eflect a junction with the troops that had
embarked at Lepanto. The Turks, it is said, have rased these
towns, and massacred the inhabitatus. According to the same
letters, Chourschid marches on Corinth, and the Greek Senate
is dissolved.
Sari. J.—The disasters of the Greeks are confirmed ; their
cause seems lost; they fly on every side to escape the carnage.
Letters, from Corfu, of Aug. 19, contain details which make
ane shuddtr.
