IVPGREGOR OF POYAIS.

their generosity to the oppressed and unfortunate,
will abandon Greece just as she has reached the
threshold of her independence. Nor let it be
.any longer said by our neighbours, that while
they are ministering to the wants of the Greek
people, we are looking on with indifference ! It
is truly humiliating to reflect, that the principal
aid by which two British officers are keeping the
fleets and armies of Greece together, should be
derived from the Continental subscriptions,
while not an effort has been made to assist them
from this country.

`Without dwelling on that part of our duties
towards Greece, which is dictated by Religion
and Christian Charity, I am more anxious to
convince you, as a bondholder, that as a mere
question of interest, you are bound to second the
magnanimous intentions of the high contracting
parties, by enabling the provisional Government
to perfect the system of naval and military orga-
nization commenced under the auspices of our
gallant countrymen. Need I say, that a prompt
measure to this effect, on the part of the bond-
holders generally, would afford the likeliest
means of an early dividend? It is evident that
the three Cabinets cannot in the actual state of
things, come forward to the relief of the nation
which they have virtually recognized : but I am
convinced any measures adopted by the creditors
and friends of Greece, would be viewed with in-
dulgence, if it did not receive their support. At
all events, it is for you as a considerable holder
of Greek Stock, and one who has already dis-
tinguished himself in behalf of the cause, to
confer. with your friends similarly situated, and
decide on the propriety of a general meeting, to
consider on the best mode of securing the future
interests of all parties.
In the event of a public meeting of the Greek
bondholders, I need scarcely suggest the import-
ance of there being a deputation appointed to
wait on the Count Capodistrias, who would, I
am sure, most gladly give every information on
the future prospects of the creditors. The no-
mination Df his Excellency as Civil Governor of
Greece, presents another and powerful guarantee
for the fulfilment of her engagements in this
country. I have thought it superfluous to dwell
vu the facilities which Greece will have for re-
- pa).'ng her debts, this will be ,amply proved the
moauent the treaty of intervention is carried into

effect.
My antiety to perform the, promises I made
both to Gen. Church and Lord Cochrane on
leaving Greece, may probably induce me to ad-
dress a cep), of my letter to the Editors of the
London Paper 3; and through whose medium, I
hope to make this appeal known throughout the
kingdom. Indeed I should be ungrateful were
I to omit this opportunity of declaring, that if
lily poor labours have been any use to Greece, it
is altogether due to the generous support of the
,Press.
Relying on your taking this subject into im-
medLite consideration, believe me to be yours
ever truly,

HIS SERENE HIGHNESS SIR GE; EGOR

A Correspondent has favoured us with the
following authentic copy from the Royal Ar-
chives of Poyais, which may amuse our readers
at this moment, when, among all the Nobility
and Ministers of the Cazique, no better bail can
be found for his Highness than the rejected
barber. The vicissitude from the Royal House-
hold, in Montague-square, toTothill-fields Prison,
might form an entertaining scene in a farce for
some of our Minor Theatres. The systematic
pomp antigravity of this ideal or fictitious Em-
pire are not exceeded in Don Quixote's instruc-
tions to Sancho Panza for the Government of
Barrataria: Some of the names of the indivi-
duals concerned we have in tenderness omitted
