successful engagement with the insurgents on the 9,h
December, in which a Tonsmongong of distinction was
taken prisoner, and he found in many distal the rttople
inclined to submit. These favourable prospects seem to
have been disappointed by the toe great teal of those
under him. Oa the 11th he had another action; and I
his men firing too soon, he was overpowered by the
enemy, and the cavalry of Madion, seised with a sudden
panic, Red. More than the half of the little coletnn of
Colonel Nahuys fell on the field, sad he himself escaped
only by the swiftness of his horse ; and such of our
troops as returned safe from this expedition seem to
have escaped by swimming across the river Solo.

CONCLUSION OF THE LETTER OF THE GREEK
PATRIARCH TO HIS COUNTRYMEN.

" These are the favours which his Highness in his
magnanimity Will grant the Greeks. But should they
not duly appreciate the benefits thus graciously pro-
mised them, and still persist in their revolutionary de-
mands, which exceed the limits of their civil condition
as Rayas, no farther concessions can be made to them,
and the circumstances would not in any manner allow
of it. If their submission takes place in the time of
three months, they may be assured of the enjoyments of
the above favours here promised to them ; but if they
should continue their resistance after the expiration of
this delay, they must take the consequences on them-
selves, and will not escape the punishment that awaits
them both in this world and the next. This is hereby
signified to the Patriarch, and the present answer put to
r him, with the injunction duly to announce to the Greek
insurgents the Amnesty and other points contained in
it, and to summon them to act accordingly.
" We have no doubt, that all the extraordinary favours
herein announced, which the Sublime Porte has been
pleased to grant to our joint petition, will rejoice you
in the highest degree, will destroy all suspicions thst
yoti may have been induced to entertain, dispell all
remaining doubts, and remove every obstacle that might
still stand in the way of your submission. For this reason
we have jointly addressed to you this circular letter; it
will be delivered to you by eminent persons selected
for the purpose, and solemnly published ; the persons
chosen for thin mission are, Joseph. Bishop of Nicar,
Zacharias, Bishop of Chalcesion ; Meletius, Bishop of
Larissa ; and also Meletius, the Protosynkellos, that
confirm all this to you in person. Children ! the mo-
ment is most favourable for repentance; for Gon'a sake
do not suffer the invaluable opportunity to be lost,
which you will certainly not find another time if you
should seek it. Come at length to yourselves—return
to reason—think of your lives, your property, and the
salvation of your souls ! Hear the affectionate voice of
the Church—it is the voice of the Loan—the voice of a
mother who has brought you up. Listen to her salutary
exhortations, and prove by deeds the sincerity of your
repentance for all the errors you have committed,
that we may again rejoice over you and the whole
Greek nation—that you may again be united with
the whole body thit calls itself after the name of
CHRIST, and, assembled in the fold of the SAVIOUR,
participate in Heavenly food and consolation! Return
under the sceptre of your legitimate Government, that
you may again enjoy happiness and prosperity, and
escape the dangers of shipwreck—the threatening rocks
on which you must one day be dashed to pieces, if you
do'not steer in time into the safe port of the Sultan's
favour, which you cannot miss, and which is so ready
to receive you I We confidently expect, within three
months, the fruits which these our earnest exhortations
sill have produced, through the persons above-men-
tioned, shorn we have sent to you : we live in full hope
that these fruits will answer the wishes of the Sublime
Porte, and you will gratefully hasten to yield obedience,
and by your due submission fulfil a sacred duty, that
we may reward you with our blessing and our Spit itual
favour. But if, which Heaven forbid, you should per.
severe in your obstinacy, and, misled by illusions, reject
our invitation, you are hereby once again warned, the
axe is laid to the root—take care."—Ass. Obs. April 7.
