substitute was then offered by Mr.. Yancev, corr
tanning the principles Of the old bill in a modified

continues the Secretary (and this is the

REVOLUTIONS.
Is it too much 10 say, that there is more

j in the Ottoman Empire, than that the go

PROSTATE the independence Of the Grccjan
! Republics? Let us look at facts aud ear
! oum5taucrs. Alexander Is unable To re-
dnce the independence Of the South A
mrtlcan Republics, for the very numcut
! that he moves, or any other member Of
! the Holy Alliance, ot if they even menace
the government of South America, Eng
! land makes a common cause with these re-
! pOblics and recognizes their Independence.
Alexander then has Il vast disptSablc force
on hand, and he rtnews his demands iol
the evacuation of Noda,la aud Wallachja
The Turkish provinces III Europe. To
! this object, hc IS now turning his attention.
/ This state of Greece has single handed,
withstood the vast Overwhelming power ot
/ the Turks, won several glorious victories,
nor does there seem the slightest pi0hahh
! ty, but what they will SINGLE handed, be
enabled ~ preserve ther freedom. At this
crisis Of time, We likewise learn, that the
/ Pacha OF Eg}t was commanded 10 raise
an army OF ten thousand men, aud to
march for the reduction of Greece. He
does raise such an army, and declares
Egypt usHG 10 be Independent Of the
! Turks. Is not this evidence, that the re.
rolutonary spirit is klndling and commu-
nlcatmg IN defiance of all the cNertluns oi
! the allied dtspots, that al efforts ON their
