ANOTHER WAR PROPOSED.

writer III the batIOEdl odZelte, PIU-
poses an early declaration by Congress,
after their next meeting, in favor OF the
Greeks, and the sending Of all our dispo-
sable naval force to the Archipelago, to
fight the Turks This is coming to the
point Most Of our noisy politicians con-
fine their sympathy for the Greeks to abu-
sive language against the emperor OF Rus-
sia and England tor not going to war IN
their behalf A writer in Connecticut
paper accuses the English government
with conniving a. or countenanclng the
massacre OF the Greeks in the island Of
Seio. In the course of his remarks how
ever, he states this important fact-that
the rising of the Sciots against the Turks
existed only / days before the captain
pacha, with bis feet and troops. fell upon
them and committed those dreadful exces-
ses, which filled that once happy island
with murder and desolaton. 1t this be
true, it will require pretty strong degree
of prejudice against old England, to be.
lieve that Lord Liverpool, as this writer
asserts, had much to do in the tragedy at
Sclo, whaie yer bis disposition in that re-
spect might bSve been--as the Sciots must
have been destroyed, long before the news
reached England, that they had rissE a.

There are many persons very active. IN

to involve US in another Improbable con.

for the onset now, if We may Judge from
heir seedlings about the Quarterly Re
view and some three or four Radicals who
had travelled among US, and then went
home to make strange stories tor the be-

insults, say the literary men, must be re-
torled upon that nation, for they know the
British government counteDances or sup

lately killed himself, he has perhaps saved
US the trouble and cost of going to war with
England on that account.
A war in these dull times, however,
would be fine thing for numerous train

employment that would pay well, With
little labor. From tie signs of The times,

MOST IMPORTANT DISCOVERY
Six weeks since, application was made
10 person for the loan of one hundred
pounds 10 young chemist, who had made
a discovery he was too poor to substanli-
ate by experiment.. The money was OBJ
tanned, and in few days repaid by the
borrower, already raised to sudden afau-
ence, by the private disposal of his inven.
t;ion. 1t is a new mode of tanning skins,
combining such rapidity and economy, as
promise to the public an immediate and
immense advantage. Raw hides, hiiher-
10 lying twelve months in the tan pit, and
subjected to a process otherwise detective
and precari0us, are now perfect leather
within six weeks, and at less than bali tie
expense.
The gentleman who bought the inven-
ton, is nuted opposition member and
contractor; and from the terms OF his slip
uiation,w may form some judgment OF the
probable magnitude OF the results. lie
