The following letter is addresied to one of the
Members of the religious Society of Friends, who
were the first to promote a subscription in behalf of
the Greeks, suffering in various modes from the
cruelty of the Turks : it discloses t' r appalling fact,
that Christian flags, under the appellation of neutrals,
have actually been.employed to transport the unfor-
tunate victims into Barbary and elsewhere, in order
to prevent their being .sear-hed for and set at 'deity
by their own countrymen :
