APPROPRIATION TO LAFAYETTE
From tie National Mteliigenccr.

From tie National Iuteiipenccr.
We have pleasure i'll announcing that the
proposition for a grant of Two Hundred Thou
sand Dollars, and an entire township of land,
Us, GAO acres,) has received the sanction of
both Houses of Congress. Each House has
passed bill of its own, bat the joint sanction
required to one or the other of them, after
what has passed, may be considered a matter
of course. The thing is done, and with an
unanimity which has few examples in our
legislative annals.
1t was desirable, doubtless, that the mea-
sure should have been adopted by vote en-
tirely unanimous, and without debate. But,
if it had not been debated, and if there had
not been conflicting opinions upon the matter,
it would have been out of unison with the
character of our government. The differ
encc of opinions was one as to mode and
quantity, and not as to principle. We have
great satisfaction in stating that, out of the
dissenting voices, very few were opposed to
the principle of the bill, and no one question
cd or disparaged the merits Of the eminent
individual for those benefit it is intended.
Comwodore Porter--We have seen a
letter, says the Richmond Wing, which
states that Commodore Porter is to be re,
called from the West India squadron Tin
consequence it is believed of his late ques-
tionable attack on a Spanish town. and that
Captain Warrington in the frigate Constel-
lation is to proceed to take command of the
| station.
The murder in Kentucky-The Pittsbure
Statesman of December a, says-the public
feeling is in considerable anxiety to know the
grounds on which Isaac Desha, son of the
Governor of Kentucky, was arrested for tn.
murder of Mr.. Francis Baker, editor of the
Missssippian, as stated in our last, we give

There is n rumour ahoat, that Russia in
the ensuing spring will make a common
cause with the Greeks. Three successive
naval victories have given such coniidcncetn
the arms Of tia Patriots, that thei4 causeis
now deemed out of danger. At such al
event we must not be astonished if We hear
that the Emperor Alexander comes boldly
forth and takes them under his protection,
when there is no longer any need of his as
sisteAce, This is game perfectly under
stood by crowned heads, aud he may hope
by such ais act TO wipe OF from his royal
skirts the STAINS Of Grecian blood impressed
ON them BY the massacre at Samos At that
time he espoaset the cause of the Greeks
and when they needed his succour abandon
ca them--''ow when they do not require his
ald' &c may with a magnanin.ity peculiar to
himself, prolicr his protection. The last ac"
counts from the Morca state, that the Otto
man feet consisting of thirty-fvc vessels,
He'd into the harbour Of Mytelene, pursued
by twenty-four Greek vessels.

From The Lipcrhool .Adpe1&sr, Nov.o.

Fran The LWerNooi .Adrerissr, N5u.6,
The London Courier had in the carly
part OF the week, a passage which, if We
are to understand it as official, would init
mate that government are not yet all pre-
pared for the measure of the recognition Of
the independence of Columbia. The arri-
val of Col. Campbell, the Commissioner
with report, acknowledged to be favoura-
BILE, was yet the occasion of the Couriers
writing this passage. Until the war with
the royalists, in Peru, therefore, is perfectly
and fortunately ended, government are not
prepared to take any further steps towards
the recognition Of any of the new South
American States.
Some of our readers have, doubtless, seen
the verses published in Medwin's Journal.
(and therein some measure, ascribcd to Lord
Byron, entitled the Burial OF Sir John Moore.
This ode has been claimed by several per-
sons. One 11roll claims it for a friend othis,
deceased, who the friend says, to his own
kno7pkedge, composed it e,ctemhore. The
true author appears to be DR.. Marshall
Durham, who claims it by letter in the
Courier, in such manner, and by such Cir
cnmstanCcs, as leaves no doubt of the justice
OF his claim.
Sir Walter SCOTS fine old stag-hoand,
MAZDA, which has been introduced into sey-
eral Of the portraits of that Distinguishing
son, died a few days since. Some month ago,
an ef'igy of the noble animal, was placed at
the door Of the principal entrance to Abbots-
ford; and he has been buried below it, with
the following epitaph cut on the ellisy.
Miade marmorea jaces sub imagine, MAZDA,
Ad januam Domini. Sit tibi terra Lewis,

Pohaiation Of Grecce-The actual popu
lation OF Greece, according to the most exact
calculations and taking a middle estimate
between the different valuations which have
been made, amount to four millions Halt
live on terra .trma, Morea and Negropont
and million in the Isles. This popula-
ton, it istrue, is composed of Greeks, Turks,
Albanians, Jews and Franks; but it may be
with certainty calculated that the true
Greeks compose three quarters Of it; and
in adding to them those who live in Asia,
European Turkey, Russia and Germany.
the total population Of the Greeks may
still. without exaggeration, be rated at touF
Willions. The population of ancient Greece
was not more numerous.
