TURKEY AND GREECE.

The various accounts from Turkey and
Greece which have lately been received, a
AMOUNT to but little Of interest The policy of
Alexander, is not as yet, rightly understood.
His Withdrawing has troops from Wallachia
and Moldavia, intimate, as accounts from that
quarter assert, that he has, through his good
feelings, been pleased to give up the project OF
compassionate his religious feelings have be-
come more interested for the Greeks by
some stipulation or other with Turkey, he is
determined to defend the Christians of Greece,
but is still Withdrawing his forces from the most
important posts that they could be stationed at,
to keep the Turkish Empire in check. The
good feelings of Alexander in this respect look
rather SqaaHy.
Although for nearly eighteen months, there
has been seen the movement of Armies and
the glaering Of bayonets, on the frontiers of
Turkey;-yet there has been nothing done to
rescue the Greeks from the ruthless hands of
the Turks by any Christian nation on earth
III must DC conCtuucu, thcietoIe, that shc
Turks are permitted to carry on the warfare a
gainst the Greeks, they will fall, never more
to rise
SO excessive is the drought and conse-
quent mortality in York and Adams coun-
lies, that in Adams, Thursday next is re-
commended by lhs clergy and other pious
persons as day of Humiliation, Fasting

human heart bows itself down and most
truly and humbly acknowledges its de-
2endence upon its Creator.

BRITISH seRrhERF EXPEDITION.
From The Montreal Herald,

Through the politeness Of gentleman
who has just arrived in tins city, from a
distant post 10 the Northwest territory,
we have received intelligence that the ex.
petition which was fitted out by dlrec-
ton of the Admiralty, in the summer OF
1919, under the orders OF lieut.. Franklin,
was on its return to Hudsons Bay.
The expedition advanced as near to the
Copper Nine River in the following year,
as the approaching winter would perrait /;
and 10 the spring Of the last year, having
embarked the canoes which they carried
with them, they descended that river until
it discharges itself into the Hyperborean,
or Frozen Ocean The expedition then
proceeded in the execution oil its Interior
object, namely, to explore the coast Of the
Polar Sea, from the mouth of the Copper
Mine River, round to Hudson's Bay.
This, however, it would appear, from the
information we have been able to collect,
il could no further effect than by survey

OFFICIAL DocUMEN rs.

1t appears by letter from the third Au.
ditor OF the Treasury. that the accounts un-
settled, on which balances appeared 10 be
due the United States, i'll The office OF the
Turd Auditor, which, on the establish
ment OF that office, amounted to upwards
of tortp three nations of dollars, and
which last year had been reduced to fifteen
mtii,ons, has now been reduced Il. J1De NAL
lions seven hundred thousand dollars. w e
regret that we have not room tor the whole
of the Auditors letter, but the following
suggestion is worthy Of consideration
He says, If provision were made by law
aulhorising the accounting officers TO set
lie accounts originating prior to the LIST
July, lSl5, upon the production of the
best evidence each case would admit OF,
and such as would probably be received
in courts OF justice, and limiting the a.
mount of ~redits to be given each indlvldu-
al to the amount OF money advanced him,
it is conceived no injury to the public
would ensue; for it on the trial OF suit, 1t
shall be made To appear by defendant,
to the satisfaction OF the court and jury,
that the m oney in dispute has been expen-
ded for the public service, II IS highly pio-
bable credits will be awarded him, not
outstanding any iDsormalIties IN Inc
vouchers.-And the adoption OF the course
suggested would besides have the effect oil
preventing many personal applications to
Congress, and OF considerably diminishing
the out standisg accounts on the books Of
this office. N. Y. Gaz.

ANOTHER Aggravated PIRACY.

The schooner Mary Rose arrived at New
London on the 3Oth ultimo, in 10 days
from Matanzas About four hours alter
leaving Matanzas, she was boarded by a
piratical schooner, the crew OF which beat
the captain and mate in an unmercliul
manner, to compel them to disclose where
their money was if any thsy had. The
captain and mate were then hung up by
the necks to the yard arm till nearly dead /,
and then lowered down again and legged.
The New London Advocate says
1.-The mate of the Mary Rose informs,
that he was at Havana few days before
he sailed, where he saw the piratical cap
tain, who was fitting out his vessel al that
place! II is evident that the authorities
OF the Island, if they do not actually en-
courage these piratical proceedings, al
Ieas, suffer them to be practlsed with n-
punity. Hoe long shalt these things be?
