SMYRNA, 29th Sept. 1925.
The affairs Of the Greeks go on well they have
had some important successes in Romelia. The
fleets have remained idle sll summer. The Cap.
ain Pscha was, by the last accounts, a, Mytelene.
he Greeks will be too wise to risk battle with
him MOI 10 be beaten, is victory to them. In my
opinion they have more 10 fear from Russia, than
The Turks. The mis-named Holy Alliance governs
Europe England not .exctpted; and Alexander
governs that alliance. There Exists at this mo.
ment, IN my view, more powerful combination
against the rights and liberties of mankind, than
ever before existed. The English appear more in
cined TO beiriend the Greeks than any other nation
but believe this feeling exists more with the peo.
pie than The government. For my part, since the
affair OF Naples have set down the English Minis
Try to be perfectly in accord with the despots Of Eu-
rope. There is yet, however too much ofthe spirit
OF liberty in the land of our ancestors to allow them
to indulge in their opinions, wthou, much caution.
is reported that the Russians and Turks have ar
ranged their differences and as the Persans, (who
are said 10 be entirely under the influence Of Rus
sla,) have made peace with the Turks, am incli-
ned to believe this report; and doubt it is set
tied among the Legitimate brothers and cousins,
what the Greeks are to submit TO. That Russia
will ever wish to see them an independent nation,
never can believe.

LEGISLATURE OF PENNSYLVANIA.


Ertract to the editor Of the Franklin Gazette,
dated, Harrisburg, Dec. Z, 1928.
Mr.. CLARKE laid on the table the following re-
solution:
Whereas it is Of the highest Importance TO the
commonwealth of Pennsylvania at large, and TO her
metropolis in particular, that the waters OF the west
and those falling into the Atlantic ocean should be
united by canal and lock navigation, through the
interior of the states to secure the trade oil the
countries bordering the Ohio and Mississippi rv.
ers, to the city of Philadelphia, and facilitate the
Transportation of the produce of western Pennsyl-
vania to a market on the seaboad and also to con-
meet by the ties OF mutual interest the different sec
tions Of this great and growing commonwealth; ant
whereas a line oil communication through the CEN
tire of the state appears to be practicable by the
Mon Canal, as now laid down between the Schuyl
kill and Susquehanna rivers, and by the Junialta
Conemaugh and Allegheny rivers, TO the city o
Pittsburgh: Therefore,
| Resolved, That a committee be appointed to in
qure into the expediency OF appointing commits
siouers, and investing them with authority to exam
line and report 10 the next Legislature, whether
canal and lock navigation can be extended, at rea
sonabe expense, from Middetown on the Susque
hanna river, to the city of Pittsburgh by the river
| Juniatta, Conemaugh and Allegheny.
| On motion Of MIR. LEHMAN, the subject oil ap
pointing grand board Of commissioners, to exam
inc and report plans for the internal improvement
| of the state, was referred to a committee oil Mint
members, Of which he is the chairman.

The land, found new reviving atmosphere, which
restored all the sick excepting MIR. Somerby, the
purser, who died two days after. Thus much,'
saws the Gazette, for the story the United States
schooner having lost eighteen OF her men," And q
pood deal, too, We think. 1t is quite as near the
truth as we ever expect an apparently marvellous
story to come. The circumstance as even now
described, was certainly most extraordinary one
But speaking of the marvellous there IS nara
tive in the Lexington (Ky) Gazette, which beat
the Tampco story all TO nothing. any OF our rea
ders have curiosity read how in broad day, in th'
presence Of many respectable people, Jumps o
