been sent out to the Greeks, and which had been refused
by them on superstitious grounds? He readthe other
day an account of a small piece of cannon, which was
of great service in keeping the Turks at a distance, and
'if such bad been tote effect of a small piece, surely much
good alight be One with larger. If the Greeks were
but well assisted, he was confident they would rally and
make theif.cause successful.—(Applause).
Mr. BOWRING would only trouble the meeting with
an observation upon what had fallen from Gentlemen
as to publicity. He wished publicity throughout, and
sincerely hoped that by its means, in a very short time,
the burthen would be thrown upon the right shoulders.
He did not blame the Greek Committee, for he thought
that they had difficulties to contend with which were
far from being advantageous to themselves ; and he
regretted they should have been subject to the vitupera-
tions which had assailed them. He defended Mr. J.
Smith from the imputations which had been thrown
upon him, of having been instrumental in adding
the name of General Lallemande to the Commit-
tee. The accusation was false in Coto, Mr. Smith
having had nothing to do with it. He also advo-
cated the conduce. of the Greek Committees. They
had sat day after day, and month after month, with
an anxious solicitude for the welfare of the cause ;
and in their official capacity had dispatched upwards
of 4000 letters upon the subject, and be felt it but due
to the Committee (composed of men of high integrity
and talent) to say that they would be ready to come
forward at any time to meet accusations that might be
brought against them. •
A Bond-owner said, he could not but express his
surprise that there should be found men to appropriate
to themselves 64,0001. out of a loan raised for the pur-
pose of protecting a suffering people, from the galling
yoke of oppression and tyranny. One naturally would
have thought that humanity had been the first and only
consideration.

Colonel Joints defended the conduct of the Com-
mittee, and he was sure the inexpeiience of the Hon.
Bond-owner, had led him into an error. He had sat in
the Committee composed of the first Noblemen in the
land, (not that he saw any distinction between a treble
and another man ; he looked at the intellect and in-
tegrity of the party,) and among the Committee were to
be found men of the very first integrity. There was
no distinction as to rank, for they had among them
soldiers, sailors, lawyers, &c. all congregating for the
general good. The death of Lord Byron had certainly
thrown them into confusion, and the loss of his valuable
services had been deeply felt. He agreed with Mr.
Bowing in acquitting Mr. T. Smith of being ac-
quainted with the appointment of General Lallemande,
that person certainly had the talents of a soldier, but
a French Officer was not the person to fit out ships.
A Bond-owner said, he attended the Meeting for the
purpose of ascertaining how the account stood between
the Bond-owners and the Greek Government, and to
which he wished the Meeting had confined itself, in-
, stead of entering into political strictures. He did not
come forward to recriminate, but he thought the sub•
ject of inquiry ought to be pushed still farther than it
had been.

After some observations from Mr. Wm. Cush, who, u a num-
ber of the Stock Exchange, defended that body from some asper-
sions which had been thrown upon theirjoiling in the early part of
the Meeting, it was moved that the Report be received.
A Bond-owner suggested that it should be printed and circulated.
The Cuarasims said, there were no funds for the

purpose; and the only channel through which its pur-
port would be known, was through the public papers.
He should be happy, however, if a subscription could
be raised for the purpose.
Mr. Manx suggested, that as the present was but a
very thin Meeting, any further debate should be ad-
journed; in the interim, he was confident, there was
not a Newspaper but would willingly aisist so interest-
ing a cause.
Ultimately, after some further remarks from Mr. &tering, Mr.
Clark, Mr. Robertson, 'Colonel hoes, and the Chairman, the
