THE GREEKS.--A subscription has been O.
pened in New York to aid the suffering Greeks.
in publishing the notification the American says
We call to it the attention of every freeman, oil
every Christian. If there ever was a contest, in
which the highcs, and hottest feelings Of our ma
tore might without let or scrupe be INDUCED, it is
surely that in which we now see the Greeks enga-
ged. And let no one hold back from the apprehen-
sion that all that can be thus rased will be little in
amount or value. Time was, when our great fore
fathers would have received 1000 stand OF arms,
raw the tenth of that number, as a succour from
Heaven; but even important as the little we may
contribute in material weapons may be TO this cause,
the moral effect of the spontaneous offerings OF the
reemen Of America to those whose fathers were
as Free and whose descendants deserve 10 be not
less So will be yet OF intellectually more value.
In the London papers, the Society of Friends are
said to have raised and expended larger sum for
the succour Of the Greeks in their present struggle,
than has been furnished by all the other denomina-
lions Of Christians together, in the British domin-
ions.

The accounts by this arrival, and seve-

their part.
A private letter Of the 18th June. men

with Is, 900 men had been cut to pieces
by Nina, who had also attacked Money
at Mataro and defeated him.
A letter from Barcelona repeats the

Spain, for the purpose of forming trea-
ty between the two governments. At
the last conference the Mexicanrepre
tative informed them that in order to
leave in clear point of view, the bust
ness relative to the interesting commits
sion in which they had been engaged, he
wished the Spanish commissioners en-
pressly TO state what were their views
upon the formation of provisional "a
greemeut of commerce, its conditions,
and the lime il should last. The COM
missioners replied, that in virtue Of the
powers with which they were invested by
their government. they were disposed to
form and conclude, Professionally, spe-
cial treaties Of commerce under the con-
dilions which may be stipulated for the
benefit Of both parties.
In order that the CONNER cial rela-
tions may not be interrupted, until the
desired Cancellation be arranged by frank
and friendly communications between
the two governments, Victoria stated
that for his part, he was willing 10 agree
to the same, the duration to be settled by
the Mexican congress. One of the pro-
positions submitted by the commission
ers went 10 allow a modified indepeu-
dence of Mexico. Nothing, however,
was finally decided on at that meeting by
the representatives Of either power.
