alliance with thhi lime". to overthroal the cruel do.
minion of unprikipled, incorrigible barbarians over
a Christian peOile. struggling for freedom and *in-
dependence."

His Lordship• then proceeds to shew t 1 wretched
state of slai.witry'under which the Greeks have groaned,
and the pilcurat enormities attending the system of
slivery, amkdit the exasperations of the ctuel war.
fare now carried on between the Tnrks and the
Greeks. " I assert," says his Lordship, " that the
Negro'Slave Trade was nothing in the scale of mi-
wry and debasement against the horrots which, during
this sanguinary contest, mast continise .for ever.—
What," continues the Noble Lord, in is tone of im-
passioned eloquence and feeling—

.

" What, my Lord. are the sufferings, dreadful and detestable.
as they *ere, of almost a savage in the state of nature, like the
ui happy African,when made the victim of this mercenary traffic
—what were his sufferings when compared with those which are
notoriously passing every day throughout the East? The simple
abduction of women,and the separation of parents from their chil-
dun ,b y cart ying them into captivity of anydescription,are inhuman
outrages in the lowest conditions of existenee,but how muck more
dreadfully do they act upon families in cultivated life? How inex-
pressible must be their pangs, when with all the more refined
feelings inspired by civilization, brutal ravishment is the almost
certain consequence of abduction ; the blood of unhappy infants
often pouring out before their mothers, who suckled them at
their breasts, too soon, perhaps, to be forcibly exposed to the as•
sassin of her husband and her children."

Hi• Lordship urges most earnestly on the Bti-
tish•Government, " an instant, faithful, and strenuous
exertion • to engage our allies in this great cause of
humanity and justice," that of aiding the deliverance
of the Greeks. Alluding to _the approaching Con-
gresi, his Lordship says-L.-

4‘ If this Congress of Sovereigns and their Ministers is only to
1. we for its object the renewed support of principles and projects
ireaily too notorious, and if, to avoid any incongruity or depar-
ture from the system hitherto acted upon, Turkey is to be signed-
Tr:onion* upheld as a legitimate Sovereignty, and the Creeks are to be
suers fiord, vr is any manner compromised, on the ground that they
are the svNeets of the Porte, and bound ay their allegiance, though
r t-;insrthrir Universal will, to obedience and peace, I desire hereby
to express my abhorrence of comprehending this country in such
an odious combination, and I am confident that the great mass
of the British People will join mein my protest."

At unwell, on Sunday last, a Vestry Meeting was
held in the Parish Church, for the adoption of some
plan towards reducing the price of bread from the
6candalons price of 9id. at which even the poor were
compelled to purchase it. The Gentlemen present
una'nimottsly agreed, that unless the bakers of that
parish lowered their loaves to 71c1. or Bd. they would,
one and all, take their bread from London. One or
two of the bakers were moved by this threat to ac-
kept the proposed terms, but declared that they could

flour. It the rich are resolute, they may effect wonders,
Loth for them•elves and their indigent neighbours.
