Mr. CIiAMIIIRLAISI has the highest pleasure in assuring the Pub-

on his preparations, written by the most eminent Practitioners of
the day, as well as an admission of their efficacy front the College
of Physicians. But if further recommendations were necessary.he
begs to state, that the Cowhage has been used, for a tong period,
with the greatest success, in all our Western Colonies, and is
now employed by the Faculty of Paris, in all obstinate Cases,
whether infantile or adult.

tunate people to the support and symp..-„i,y of theehris-
tian world, I shall now proceed to stare such particulars
relative to the civil and military organization of the flel
lenists, the territory they have acquired, their means of
defence, and general resources, as may be of use to your
Committee in drawing up an appeal to the British na-
tion, foended on the first Report.
Tour Committee is aware that the political code of
the Confederation, or law of Epidaurus, as it is niore
r commonly called, established that the system of Go-
veellment should be elective, consisting of Representa-
tives chosen by the people, and an Executive of five
Members selected from the Legislative Body. There
are, besides, Ministers of Finance, War, Interior, Public
Instruction, and Police, named by the Executive for
carrying its Decrees into effect ; also a Secretary-Gene-
ral, charged with the management of foreign relations:
this last office is now held by Prince Mavrocordato, the
late President. The duties and powers allotted to each
department of the State were prescribed by the law of
Epidaurus, and, as already stated, several salutary mo-
difications and improvements took place during the
meeting at Astros; and I cannot omit repeating that the
institutions of England and North America were those
to which the Legislators of Greece chiefly looked for
precedents and models. It is scarcely necessary to re-
peat to your Committee, that independently of the mea-
sures adopted there for regulating the finances and col-
lecting the revenue, the greatest importance was at-
tached to the providing, without loss of time, for a ge-
neral system of public education, as the best menus of
proving to Europe the anxiety of the Greek people to
re-acquire that knowledge of which they had been de-
prived by centuries of oppression.
The amount of revenue collected for this year is ne-
cessarily very limited, and chiefly- derived from farming,
out the crops on the national domains, of which only a
small portion were sown. The. crops on the plain of
Gastouni, in the Morea, one of the finest in the world,
and which was even this year worth five millions of
francs, only yielded a sum of 500,000, owing to its vici-
nity to Patras. That of Argos., equally rich, though
of much less extent, has-been in fallow ever since the
invasion of last year; there is, however, little doubt of
its being all turned to account in the coming season.
Your Committee will not think my general statements
exaggerated, when I add, that the produce of Candia,
in oil alone, amounts on an average to 400,000 barrels
per annum, and that each of them brings an average
price of eight Spanish dollars in the markets of rrancb
and Italy.
With respect to tbe, iletVet; del.] organization,
it is necessarily very imperfect: this arises er.clu,ively
from the want of pecuniary means; for, as yet, it has
been totally impossible either to levy taxes to any consil
derable amount, on a people who were kept in a state
sof the most abject poverty and dependence on their late
oppressors, much less to take advantage of a soil the
most prolific in Europe.
Although nearly the whole male population of the
Morea, capable of bearing arms, is provided with pis-
tols and attagans, the number which can take the field
is comparatively limited, depending almost entirely on
the means possessed by the leaders, each of whom has
hitherto been unable to employ more followers than he
could provide for out of his personal resources, and the
scanty and precarious aid of Government. These troops
are also supplied with muskets, and are led by several
Chiefs or Capitani. The wants and privations of the
Greek army are of a nature the most discouraging.—
When I state that there is not more than one-third of
the number thus employed in saving a whole people
from extermination, supplied with sufficient clothing to
shelter them from the inclemencies of a mountain war-
fare; that they often march forty miles a day, almost
invariably sleep in the open air, and freqnently pass two
or three days without any other fccd than the herbs of
the field, the astonishment of your Committee at the
bravery and perseverance of the Greek soldiery will not,
I am sure, be diminished.
Though the number of horses taken from the Turks,
and now in the Morea, is sufficient to mount from five
'to eight thousand cavalry, it will be impossible for the
'Government to avail itself of this species of force, until
provided with funds.
From the above facts, I need hardly addi, that the
Greek army receives no pay whatever. The general
mode adopted by the Chiefs is to advance a small sum
to each soldier previous to entering the field ; with this
he provides himself with bread, tobacco, and whatever
!other necessaries he may require, as far as the supply
will go ; for it very seldom exceeds two Spanish dollars.
The naval efforts of the Confederation, like those of
tie army, have been principally, if not altogether,
sup-
ported by the patriotism ar spirit of .1 few in-
dividuals at Hydra, Spezzia, Ipsara, and S.,nios.
have not been less than a hundred ships and vessels, of
various sizes, employed at the expense of about thirty
ship-owners, ever since, the commencement of the
-struggle ; and the number has, on more than one occa-
sion, extended to one hundred and eighty. As the
meroentile marine of Greece had always been armed to
a certain extent, there required nothing more than an
additional number of seamen to enable the fleets to ob-
tain those triumphs, by which the enemy has lost three
line-of-battle ships, a large frigate, and several smaller
vesselspnot to mention the various expeditions witch
had been directed against the coast of Asia Minor,
Cau-
dia, and other points.
The Greek seamen, who amount to about twenty thou.'

I should add, that all of these places are either is a state
of• siege, or closely blockaded. The nurn:)er of Turks
shut vp within the walls, and who cannot leave the
gates without failing into the hands of the Greeks, does
not exceed ten thousand men, two-thirds of whdaa fornt
the garrison of Patras. Unprovided with battering And
field trains, the chief means possessed by- the Greek
forces for reducing the above points, are confined to a
rigorous system of blockade, and occasional ai,auln.
Until, however, they ate furnished with mote extensive
means, particularly besieging materials, it Is to be feat ed
that most of the strong holds I have mentioned will re-
main in the power of the enemy. It is, the. efore, ob-
vious, that next to the supply of' money to pay the
troops, and upon which I offered my hu 'date opinion in
the report of Saturday last, light and field artillery,
Congreve rockets, spherical ease shot, implemepts for
pioneering, and scaling-ladders, would be amongst the
most acceptable offerings which your Committee could
send to the struggling Greeks.
I have in more than one instance pointed out the
inutility of sending troops to Greece: while those uho are
already there have such inadequate means of existeoce,
no wonder that the German auxiliaries sent out shOuld
be reduced to a state of the greatest miser) and priva-
tion. Ia deprecating the policy of sending soldiers, I
recommend that a few skilful artisans should be sent,
under a steady and competent direction. I now beg
leave to repeat this suggestion. .-Your Committee is fully
aware that no individual should attempt to visit Greece
as a volunteer in the cause, without being provided with
money enough to pay his expenses for 12 months at least.
Touching the resources of the Confedetatinn, I have
stated to your Committee, that not less than 19-20ths of
the territory now in the hands of the Greeks belonged
to their Turkish masters. When it is added that little
more was left to the people than the mountainous and
arid districts, some notion may be formed of the riches
which they will acquire, whenever a distribution °Elbe
national domains takes place. These are, in the mead
time, reserved by the Government as guarantTes'for any
IMeign loan it may be induced to contract. Without
entering into those statistical details which more pro-
perly belong to a regular work on the state of Greece,
it may be of importance to obser.'e that the pro-
ductions, upon which the Greeks may calculate upon
becoming one of the most opulent nations of Europe,
consist of corn, olive oil, wine, silk, wool, valonea, and
fruit. 'the other sources of national wealth in Greco
will spring from the talents, industry, and enterfri.,e
of her sons, guided by liberal institutions and an ti;?itcd
Government.
Such are the additional facts which I now beg to
submit for the information of your Committee, but it is
my duty to applise your Committee, that I have nearly
completed a work, in which the origin and progress' of
the Greek struggle will beset forth in the clearest mati-
nee I can and that in my attempt to vindicate the
rights of Greece from the effects of envy, malevolence,
and falsehood, and to expose her unmerited wrottgs, I
shall be guided by the strictest regard to impartiality
and truth.

We-learn by letters from Algoa Bay, dated Jnne 29,
1823, that the LEVEN, 24, Captain W. F. Owetr,..and
BARRACaUTA, Captain VIDALL, had just completed
their provisions, and were about to sail for Delagoa
Bay, to resume their Survey of the Rivers of Southern
and Eastern Africa. Lieut. BROWN, Mr.FoarrEs, Bo-
tanist, and Mr. KIRKPATRTCK, who are going on the
difficult Senna Expedition, were on board the Neal,.
CC/DTA. They are to be landed at Quilamane, whence
they a:e to make their way into the unknown interior,
and, if possible, reach the Cape of Good Hope. They
are remarkably fine young men, and in all respects qua-
lified for the arduous task. The BARRACOUTA, if she
can pass the bar at the entrance of the Quilamane, will
survey that river as far as the town where the Porta-
guese have a settlement. The Baanacotrra will then
survey the Inyamban River, from the shcres of which
are exported great numbers of elephants' teeth.
It is stated, in a letter from the Cape of Good Hope,
dated July 14, that a numerous wandering tribe has
advanced as far south as Kaffreland, destroying every
thing they encounter, sharing neither man, woman, nor
child. " -In fact," says 1:12 writer, " they resemble a
flight of locusts, which consume everything they rest on.
The people composing this nation, are said to be of
much lighter coloar than native Africans, and are :np-
!.osed to be de.cendants of wane Europeans wrecked on

" Port Sainte Marie, September 11.
• ig Hostilities continue. In a few days there will be a
grand attack everything is prepared for it. General
Bourmont set out yesterday for Rota: he is to direct the
.disembarkation. Monseigneur is gone to animate with
his presence all our warlike preparations. A great deal
• of artillery has been brought from Chiclana, whither the
head-quarters are to be transferred.
• " All is in confusion at Cadiz. The Cortes wished to'
establish a Council of Defence, and to make Admiral
Valdez President of it; but he refused, declaring that
he considered the means of defence to be insufficient.

5, The city is in consternation. The pavement of the
streets is broken up, and the fiat roofs of the houses are
covered with dung.
P.S. Within three times 21 hours great events will
take place. His Royal Highness is ring to Chiclana
to direct the attack, which will take place on the side of
Fort St. Petri, while our marine will bombard Cadiz.
,6 Several persons pretend that General Alava, chief of
the moderate party, returned here yesterday.
" Our soldier s demand the attack with loud cries. No.
thing can equal their ardour and their enthusiasm."
