"THE LAST SONG"

Strike the wild harp YET once again!
Again its lonely numbers pour,
Then let the melancholy strain
Be hushed in death for evermore
For evermore--for evermore
Creative fancy, be thou still,
And let oblvous Lethe pour
Upon my Tyre its waters chill.
Still the wild harp yet once again
Then be its ftiul chords unstrung-
Silent, as is the graves domain
And mute, as the death mouldered tongue
Let not thought of memory dwell
One moment en- its former song
Forgotten too be this farewell
Which plays its pensive strings along
Strike the wild harp yet once again
The satldest and the latest lay
Then break at once its strings liz twain,
And they shall sound no more for aye:
And hang it on the cypress tree
The hours Of youth and song have passed,
Have gone with all their witchery-
Lost lyrel these numbers are thy last.
EIORTO.

The Greehs.-Had we placed implicit faith in the
extracts from London papers received at Boston;
and which we published yesterday, we must have
arrived at the conclusion, that the cause of the
Greeks had become hopeless in the extreme. 1t was
there stated on the authority of ga prirGte letter
from British officer, dated Corfu, sept st" that
the Greek cause is now uncertan that the Suilotes,
their allies had capitulated and that by this event.
the Turkish force of nearly $4,000 men, had been
set al liberty for other operations We much ques-
ton whether such letter was ever written. But if
was it only displays the ignorance of the writer,
as to the affairs Of the Morea; or, perhaps, what is
worse, his envy at the success OF the Greek patri-
OTIS. We have given below, advices direct from Con-
stantnople the of the Turkish government, in
which it is distinctly admitted that in the different
actions with the Greeks, they had lost 10000 men;
and that the prospect of the Crescent trlumphlng
over the Cross, was at the best prohlematica But
what must convince every rejecting mind, that the
efforts of the Greeks to emancipats themselves from
their barbarian oppressors will be crowned with
success is, the confirmation through the same chan
mel uf the account of the second naval victory which
|, they have obtained, and respecting which, we have
1 already had rumors from different quarters. The
detailed and minute manner in which these state
ments are given in the article from Constantlnople,
leave no doubt of their accuracy. Besides, 1t will
he seem that similar intelligence had been received
/, at Trieste, as late as the 50th oil September. Not
4 withsaDding the immense carnage which took place,
we cannot but congratulate the friends OF humanity
on so glorious result, and the almost certain assur-
ance which it gives OF the final triumph OF truth and
over baroarism.--W. Z. Com. .adv.

The Turks attacked it with their gunboats and a
great number of other boats, but they repuls-
ed with loss -Four other attempts we're afterwards
made against Faslade, small island situated at the
entrance OF the lagunes, and which is the first an
chorage.-The batteries Of Washable forced the
Turks to retire to Paras, after losing great many
people.
The dehnitive result of these engagements was
to make the Greeks of the Continent form an opin-
ion that the naval force of the enemy very con-
temptible. After this retreat, the Turkish sailors,
ascending the river Phdarinsto procure water, ac-
cording TO custom, were surprised by an ambuscade
Of $50 Etolians, who killed great part and took
A large and several small boats, which they burnt
under the eyes of the new Captain Pacha, Cara
Mahomed.
CoNsTAETINoPLE, Sept. 10.
Since the last post dagreeable news for the Porte
has arrived from the Morea. The Greeks have des-
troyed there more than 20 900 Turks in partial bat
ties and ambuscades. The Turks possess nothing
there but Corinth, which is destitute of every thing
necessary for its defence, it is therefore, probable
that the garrison will be obliged TO surrender.
Colocotroni the commander in chief the Greeks.
All these particulars are said to be true, though the
Porte studies to conceal them.
At Scio several Turks have been executed who
persisted in massacreing the sick Christians. On
the 5th September there we're only 500 Christians
remaining OUT OF 10000.
Trieste, Sept. 3o.-The news Of naval victory
gained by the Greeks is fully confirmed to-day.
The encounter took place in the Straits of Bocca
Siota, between Negropont and Andres. The Tur-
kish fleet, entangled in narrow channel, full of
rocks and shoals, and attacked unawares, fought
with disadvantage. Two frigates were grounded on
the coasts Of Chimi and of Cape Oro The greater
part of the transports were captured or sunk-the
rest of the squadron endeavored under all SAIL to
gain the waters of Tenedos, but were quickly pur~
sued by the vicors, and SONS more ships were lost
which had escaped from the fight. OF all this arr
mazda, only the three decked ship, lrigate, and
nine or ten transports le entered the Dardanelies.
The troops who boatsed they would carry fire and
sword into the Morea, all persisted, except two
thousand, either the prey Of FIRE, drowned in the
waters of Bocca Silota

"The Erie canal is now finished from the Ge-

drowned, and five other children, and | supports

Mister Shilleto said as how he lived with Mrs.
Marwood, and because as how they owed little
rent, the andlady nagged them fort, and pretty
nigh screwed his nose off, and so he gave her tap
over the eye for it. Besides this, she was always
calling him 'thief," just only because he rob-

suffered the la1cs and one arter that are ought

1t appears that Mrs. Dunbar had provoked the
quarrel by the tweak of the nose; the magistrate
dismissed the complaint.-Lond. paper.

S. SOUTHWICK.
POSTMASTER OF ALBANY.

Ertract off letter from our correshon-
dent at Washington, dated January
It'll, 1922.
"With unfeigned pleasure, inform
you that the Post Master General has
this day appointed General Solomon
Van Rensselaer,, Postmaster at Albany,
vice Solomon Southwick, rcn,oved.--
This affair presume will cause some
little excitement in Now York, and your
readers. will doubtless be DESTROYS, of
learning some of the particulars relating
to it. therefore giveyou few, which
l believe may be relied on.
1t having been determined that Mr..
Southwck should be removed, the only
question, with the cabinet, was, who
should be his successor The late
Chancellor Lansing's name was brought
forward by his friends, and backed by the
influence Of the Vice President and your
two Senator's, Messrs. Van Beuren and
King; Gen. Van Rensselaer, was also
nominated, and he was backed by the in
.auence, as is understood, of the Ken
lucky and Ohio members, particularly
BY Col. johnson, Of the former state
When the question was FIRST put to the
members of the cabinet, they were all in
favor Of General Van Rensselaer,, except
the Secretary Of the Navy, who, objected
on account Of his politics; but he was
answered by Mr.. Writ, who said that
such considerations were out of the ques-
ton now; there was no longer any poll
tics. On which, the Secretary of the
Navy is said to have acquiesced and dc.
clared himself in favor Of the appoint
ment. When it was known to your
Senators, that it was determined that it
should be made on Saturday, they re-
quested that it might be postponed till

been very great on the coast of Africa;
during the last year upwards of two
thirds of the late white European and
American emigrants had died; the Bril-

APPRENTICES LIBRARY.

The cxertions which have been made
on this side of the Atlantic to ameliorate
the condition of apprentices, have excit-
ed and animated European philan-
thropists to pursue the same laudable
course. Both in France and Great Bri-
tain, our example is producing practical
effects. In Paris, The address Of Solo
mon Southwick, Esq. delivered at the
opening of the apprentices library in
Albany, has been translated into the
Frenah language, republished and high
ly eStoled, as literary and benevolent
production. A gentleman in New York
has received an application for a copy of
it from the celebrated patriot, Mr.. Will
berforce. Thus an American mechanic,
who in early Life was bakers boy, has
been destined to be instrumental in i'm
proving the minds and contributing to
the happiness Of thousands Of European
youth in the same humble sphere as that
from which he has emerged. Mr.. South
wick was not only an apprentice to the
trade of baker, but afterwards COM
mon. sailor, and subsequently journey
man printer in New York and Philadel-
phia. Yet he is now noticed in the Eu-
ropean world as the eloquent assertor Of
the rights of humanity, as applicable to
thai numerous class of young men, who
in every country are doomed to certain
degree Of sorvitude. !, gises US plea
sure TO award this tribute 10 the merit OF
brother printer. ~, Y Ga-otse.
