DECLARATION,
Sent by the Messenian Senate of Camata
and the Commander in Chief Mayromi-
chale to the Governments of Europe.
For above Il century the Peleponnesus
has groancd under the tyranny of the Turks
This tyranny has grown daily more oppres-
sive, and has mt length SO bowed us down,
that we hardly retained strength enough
to utter our signs. Despair has seized us,
and we have, with one accord, taken up arms
TO throw off the yoke of slavery. Immedi-
ately all the seeds ofdissentiou which despotsm
constantly cherished among us were destroy
ed by the glorious influence of freedom
Our arms already reach the Barbarians who
had loaded them with chains. Our feet,
wearled night and day by exorbitant labor for
our lords, now tread the path of honor TO
regain our rights. Our heads, long bent be-
meath an iron yoke, are again raised and sup
ported, and encouraged by the national feel
ing Our mouths, which dared not open be-
fore Jul tyranis, except to express humble
complaints, now make the air resound with
the cry of" Libcrty."
r" This liberty, the blessings OF which we al
ready begin to taste, we will either maintain or
perish with it.
Never was cause more just, more holy,
than ours ; we fight for our sacred religion
for our lives, for our honor, for our property,
which our oppressors have never respected
This soil, honored with renowned heroes, by
the understanding and virtues of our forela-
theirs, and which, alas has 81 long been be-
dewed with our tears, this soil belongs TO us
1t Is our patrimony.
All Europe is indebted to it for its arts. its
sciences, its knowledge, and for all its blessings
of civilization. Enlightened Nation Enhght-
ened Governments the time is come To pay
our debts to Greece our country. We ask of
you only counsel, arms, and pecuniary asss-
lance, and will gratefully return them the
glory flour beneactors shall be as durable as
that of Greece.

CHILLI.
LONDON, June 16.-We subioin copy of
letter addressed by captain ShirrelI, OF his
majcsty's ship Andromache, to the masters of
the British ships Edward ElIice, Lord Sufiield
and Indian, taken on the coast of Peru by
Lord Cochran's squadron. BY capt. Shirrehjs
letter it would appear that the Gillian Gov
eminent is acknowledged by this government
"a circumstance which we believed was not
before generally known. The American capt
Downes, however, treats the CHILEAN squad
ron as enemies, and seizes the American yes
sells which they may have captured whereas
our captain only negotiates for their being
sent TO Valparaiso for adjudication. The three
vessels above mentioned arrived there for that
purpose III the end of February. The Hon.
capt. Spencer, of his maicsty's ship Owen
Glendowcr, at Valparaiso, wrote on the eth of
February, TO the director, requesting to know
the grounds for the detention of these
ships. The agents to Lloyd's there had pro-
tested against the seizure of the vessels and
cargoes, and in conjunction with captain Spen-
Ger, intended to make every eXeTtion for their
liberation.
"H. NJ. >. Andromache, Off Calao, Jan. g.
Gentlemen--l haveto acknowledge the re-
ceipt of your letter of the Goth ult. which is
the first that has reached me and have to
INFORM you, that as soon as | am in possession
ofany facts to prove the property under your
charge (which has been detained by the Chill
an squadron to be bona ffe belonging TO Bri-
tish subjects, | shall claim it as such. But
you must understand, that as my instructions
are particularly explicit in ordering me 20 act
perfectly neutral, ! cannot follow captain
D0wnes's, plan OF Selling your vcssclsb by force,
as such an actwould be a declaration of hos
titles on my part against the CHILEAN govern
Incnt, who,as belGgerent power, have right
TO detain any suspected property, although I'M
der neutral flag any attempt to take it
away by force, would, according 10 the laws
OF nations, condemn IL IN toto as prize.
am particular in mentioning these cir
cumstanccstO you as you, might otherwise cx
pecf more than ], or any other officer, should
be able to accomplish. In The mean time
shall protest against the vessels being dctain-
ed here, instead of being sent TO Chill FOR adiu-
dication as shall also do of your boats and
men being used for warlikc purposes.
