" N tssoLo maul, 11 .ty e clergy proceeded in it body
'this .day to the house where the remains of Lord IlyrOn.lay, In
ortter to take into their keeping, and remove to the church of
Sari ru 1 on, 14 heart,brains &c. of the deceased, which
t
bed teen left to the care of the city of Miasolonghi. The
city made solemn request to Count Gambit (the friend of
Iwo By")) ,yor permission to erect a monument to the me.
mory of their benefactor and illustrious fellow-citizen. Itlis
had already accepted the freedom of the city.—
Count Gambit felt it his duty to deposit his Noble Friend's
retrains in the care of the city until they might be reclaimed
thy his relatlyei.
'Two chests, were prepared fur the occasion, and after being
.examined, were sc,:d4 d by the Magistrates. In one of them
was contained 'the body, and in the other the heart and brains
,of the noble defunct. '1 hey were removed by four officers of his
thr)gade to the bark which transported them to Ilssiladi, and
thence into a 'larger vessel to ha conveyed to Zama. The
whole of the Noble Lord's brigade was drawn out in front of
his late residence, and along the shore of the sea. The convoy
was accompanied by the Prince A. Manrocordati, the Primates,
the Military Commandants, and an immense concourse of pet)-
, pie, whose onuntentincea and manner bore testimony to their
sorrow ut taking Aids last farewell of their benefactor anti fel.
As soon ati the corpse was removed to the bark, it
.was sainted, by discharges of musketry and artillery. The
'cannon of his brigiule, drawn up along the euast, saluted with
twenty-five minute guns: nine were diseharged front, the bat.
tery, and three from the fort of llasiladi; malting in all thirty.
seven, the number of years the noble defunct aced lived:—
What a melancholy contrast to the joyous salutes which tour
months previous had hailed his arrival in Misiolonghi? One
consolation, however, remains t the good be has afibcted will
not be lost—the seeds lie had sown with such alacrity and in-
dotty for the benefit of Greece, will yet produce a noble
harvest. The most,glorious monument which can be raised
to him. will be the feelings of.gratitude and love which re.
main stamped in the heart of every Greek and friend of hu.
inanity.
" In the bark which transported-the Noble Lord's remains
to !'ante were his friend Count Gamba, two other officers of
his brigade, Captain and Adjutant Ilesketh,: Lieut. Winter,
ids private physician. lb. Brown, his faithful valet, Fletcher,
who had served Blot more than twenty years, and his domestic,
Dastia FOlcciere. In two tither barks followed his horses and
all his effects, under the care of his secretary,Signor Lep
ZAmbelli. The Government sent likewise two gun boats to
.accompany them.

like that of an octogenarian. It might have been said io con-
sist of a single bone without *plots.
" The dura meninge was so firmly attachedto the internal
surface of the cranium, that it required the repeated exertions
of two strong men to separate the outer bones from It. The
vessels of this membrane were greatly distended and cOmplete-
ly full, and it was united to thi pia nutter in different parts, by
some membraneous filaments.

" Between the pia meninge and the furrows of the brain,
a great many bubbles of air were found with drops of lymph
adhering in several places to the pia nutninge.
" 4. The grandpx of the brain was crossed with mem.
brineous filaments, which attached it,firmly to both the hemi-
spheres; it was likewise extremely full of blood.
" 5. The cerebral medulla was full of minute blood vessels
of a bright red colour, and very much swoln. Under therms
raroliur at the base of the hemispheres, in the two superior or
lateral ventricles, there was found an extrsvasation of about 2
ounces of bloody serum ; and at the bottom of the verbellum
there wasa similar expansion, the effects of a severe inflamma.
tion of the brain.

" R. The medullary substance was In much greater pro.
portion than is common In the cortex, and was very firm and
consistent. The ceri,trum and cerebellum, without any of the
integuments, weighed about sik medical pounds...
" 7. The impressions or furrows of the hlood.vessels, in the
internal part of the skull hones, though small, were much more
numerous than .usual. • _ _ _

to a size almost gigantic:
" 9. lletween the pericardium and the heart there was an
ounce of lymphatic water. The heart was More ample and
voluminous than ordinary, but its muscular substance was very
relaxed and fibreless.
" ' 10. The liver was smaller than the natural PIM as were
likewise the biliary vessels, which, instead of bile, contained
air. The intestines were distended with alr, and
_of a deep
yellow colour.
6 11. The reins were very largo and healthy, and the uri.
nary vessels comparatively small.'
" From this examination it was unanimously eonclnded, by
the medical gentlemen who attended it, that if Lord Byron from
the commencement of his illness had consented to any loss of
blood, as his private physician repeatedly advised, or even If at
a more advanced stage of the disorder he .had yielded to the
pressing solicitations of his medical advisers, to allow a copious
blooding, his Lordship would not have fallen a victim to this
attack. From the statement marked 1,0, 9, it may be coati-
dently asserted that his Lordship could not have lived many
years, from his extreme susceptibility of disease, either through
the strength of his passions, his excessive occupations, or even
through his utter disregard of all the necessary means to pre-
vent the effects of constipation."

DEFENCE OF GREECE.
LETTER PROSI AIR. LEICESTER STANHOPE.

" Athens, March 29, 1024.
" Dear general Odyssea—The Greeks are lighting for their
independence and their liberties. They have not only to drive
the Turks from their soil, but they have to prevent the restore-
tion of Turkish principles of government of despotism. To this
end a constitutional force is necessary.
1 " Whether, this force should consist of disciplined or irregu.
lar troops, is the question lon hare desired me to answer. Ex-
perience has demonstrated, spite of the paralyzing effects of
tyranny, that the Greeks are still Greeks. Their martial pea-
santry hare started front their chains; ,have taken fortresses that
have been deemed almost impregnable ; and have in one cam-
paign destroyed 100,000 Turks. These arc the men who have
triumphed over the Ottoman empire.
" Experience has also demonstrated that a nation which
trusts her defence to tbreign mercenaries, puts her freedom in
imminent peril. Commonwealths ought, therefore, to follow
the example set by England in the time of William 111. That'
Monarch owed his throne to a revolution produced by the peo.
ple. The Crown had gone out of its regular succession; die.
affection prevailed ; Ireland was in arms; Scotland had not
renounced allegiance to James, and the Protestant cause was
threatened by a hostile coalition ; still such *as the high stern
spirit of those times, that the Parliament refused to allow a
small body of valiant Dutch guard to remain in
England.

" The King recommended and reasoned, and again and
again implored the Parliament to retain these dear partners of
his fame. They listened to their Sovereign with courtesy, but
sent back his guards to Holland. Let the Greeks act in the
same spirit. Never let the Greeks tolerate a standing army
or foreign troops, except as instructors of discipline or military
seience. The principles of a mercenary army :are opposed to
those of freedom,. and their interests are at variance with their
duties.

Rather let the Ores** follow the ample of the best on.

Military schools, her staff, artillery, calygiynceers, int6aen'try, and
sharpshooters, are all admirable. Iler cavalry is the only 4le.
fective arm. :very branch of her service is assembled and cx.
ercised for a month in the year, and the whole force is ready to
march at one day's notice. It is evident that a militia of
this descriPtion cannot be equal, on their first taking the
fieldoe a more • exercised army. The Swiss, however, like
the Greeks, having, a strong country to defend, can act on
the defensive till they become exercised. This constitutional
force costs Switzerland about 60,00 W. yearlY. It pray be
said that the Greeks, though excellent partisans, are unequal
to cope with disciplined soldiem iu the field, or to
de
take sieges.
" What then is to he done ?• Are the Greeks to endanger
their liberties by employing mercenaries, or their independence
by not employing them? Neither they should have a mixed
force, consisting of' irregulars and a milia. The modern his.
for of the Greeks shows the strength of their Irregular troops
and auriell peasantry. They are like a hive of bees that, being
disturbed in • their productive labours, will drive an elephant
mad, And make him court destruction.' And the annals of
their ancestors, raid of their phalanx, have taught the world the
power Of co.operation in • war. The Greeks should thetefore
instil a martial spirit into their people, and should have their
youth instructed at the schools in military discipline. A NI..
tton of the Greeks should be exercised like the Swiss armies, a
portion of them should remain as at present, and the whole na-

Brave Ipsariots I—Seamen halo ever proved the firmest
friends, of liberty : nobly .you have supported this character.
You were among the first to _resist oppression, and raise the
standard of Greece. Proin the commencement of the revolu-
tion you have sacrificed your property and your persons to pro-
mote the public good ; you have stood foremost in • the fight,
and hare humbled the proud Turk ; your free constitution you
have supported, Anil Ipsara is an example of its happy influence.
For these reasons I have .sent. you a ,printing press intrusted to
my charge by the Greek Committee of England : accept it as
a pledge of attachment from your brother islanders : exercise it
tier the spreading of knowledge throughout the Archipelago t
from knowledge emanates power, wealth, freedom, happiness,
anti fame. May these blessings, brave Ipsariots, be the por-
tion of your children—the sweet reward of your virtuous
exer-
tions and your honourable tolls.
I am your mast devoted servant,

bees settle on him, and heluns madly on to destruction. So
the Turks beset by Greeks allow their heads to be struck off
without an effort. '
