ThcLondon Morning Post OF esd Gen.
received at Boston, contains information
from Zante and Scmlin of the decided
successes ofthe Greeks over the Turks in
he Morea, and repeats the statement
which has already been given in our COL
umns, that Courscbid Pacha, and Omcr
Briene had both been defeated, and that
the former had retreated to Larissa.

that if the endeavors of the European
Ambassadors arc successful in inducing
the Porte to consent ~to some concessions
and calculations, which are necessary to
the maintenance of peace, all the Chris
tlans o: the east will owe to this benefi.
cent cooperation, solid establishments
which will not be endangered in times of
war. ihe concessions and excavations
here alluded to,are stated in the Morninp
Chronicle, to be the occupation of Mol.
davia and Wallachia,, with which the
"great powers" had agreed to buy of
Russia; but that in order to reconcile
public opinion with this act, sort of
guardianship over the Greeks was 10 be
conceded by Turkey to the Holy ALI
ance, which, without depriving the Turks
OF their sovereignty, might enable the
great powers to interfere in cases of noto-
rfous cruelty and oppression.
Besides the destruction by fire OF the
Cathedral of Rouen, which we noticed n
few days ago, it appears, that two other
churches were burnt in the course nj the
same week on the continent, viz the
cathedral OF Client, and the Lutheran
church of Amsterdam, The latter was
erecled 167l-167S. The dome was
built on the model of that of ST. Peters at
Rome, and was covered with plates OF
copper, brought from Sweden, duty free.
by permission of king Charles Xl. Six
dwelling houses, and nine ware houses
were destroyed and some others damap,
ed In the cathedral of Client, there
were some of the finest pictures in the
world which were removed there by the
allies when they got possession Of Paris
and which, itwould seem, were destroy.
ed by the devouring element.
FLORENCE, (ALAB.) OCT. 1s-On Wed
nesday, the I'd Of Oct. inst. gentleman
came into Florence, who appeared to be
in the last stage of the CONSUMPTION he
was brought here in Dearborn carrjape.
and was left by the man who came with
him, without giving any information in
relation to the stranger. Some of the
physicians visited him,but his disease was
beyond the power of medicine and ON
Saturday,the 5th inst he calmly breathed
his last. lie was man, who, from an.
appearances, was of highly respectable
standing, and whose travelling effects
prove that he was in genteel circumstan-
ces. His funeral received the respectfu9
attention OF our fellow citizens. Since
his decease,his papers have been exam.
ined, and he proves TO be native of Sa.
lem, Connecticut, of the name OF Samuel
Lockwood Tyler and appears to be a
graduate OF Brown university in Provi-
dence, r. l. He was, in the year 1891.
rector of the university of Washington in
Wilkes county, Georgia, and we under
STAND that he has been travelling for his
health. -
We have complained in bitterness Of
soul, at the treachery and cruelty of the
Turks, and the barbarous and unfeelinp
inhumanity Of the Christians toward the
Greeks. We may complain, but our
complaints are unavailing. The frozen
hearts of the Holy Alliance have no pulse
which beats time to freedom. Thew have
no arm to fight the battles Of Christianity.
They are not content to be even neutral
They array themselves Oh the other side.
They transport the troops of the Turks.
They build and equip his ships of war.
They furnish him with money ammupi-
ton, with information, with every thing
necessary to butcher the Christian Greeks
Having done this, they sing lie Deums
they approach the affairs of the living
God with hands red with the blood of his
followers.
We do not exactly know the state Of
things IN Greece, or the relative positions,
advantages or disadvantages of the con-
tending parties, but we know enough to
satisfy US that the Greeks, an unorgaDiz-
ed mass have bravely and desperately
fought against their oppressors. We
know that they gained many advantages.
that they were pressing the Turks hard.
when the holy Alliance taking alarm at
the idea OF successful revolt, set at Lib
erty 100000 Turks to cut the throats of
the Christians. We also know that the
English and the Austrian Governments
nave lent wings to the Turkish troops by
fas arnrN. IL
