your Minister Plenpotentiary and Envoy
extraordinary al this court, has notified 10
us the arrival of the remittance OF &c 800
made by you to Me,srs. Barring and Co
to be placed through our medium at the
disposal of our government.
We have advised our 60, crnnent Of it,
and have already considered the propel
means to cunsiSn that sum as speedily as
possible To Greece ; and ihengh we are
fully aware that our country " i'll hasten to
express officially its gratitude to the liberal
aud feeling Americans, yet we feel 1t du
ty incumbent ON us as her deputies, to as
sure them in her name, and in that of our
fellow citizens, of the sincere gratitude
which So generous and benevolent deed
must nccessari y inspire in the hearts of all
the Greeks.
Victorious in the struggle, which the de
fence of their lives and religion ncrssitatcd
them, though unprovided with weapons,
to undertake, they have sustained that
strife with the arms they have snatcllcd
from the hands of their enemies themselves,
and see the fourth year of their revolution
approach under favorable auspices. Eve.
lry thing is in the most Gathering situation
IN Greece, and our countryucn will be able
To give the same reception TO the land
aud sea forces, which the Porte prepares
to send against them, as they gave them
last year.
The vhlor, the experience, and the re-
sources of the Greeks increase, and will
enable them To consolidate then mdcpen
dence whilst among their enemies dis
conrasemrnt aud the want of means daily
gam ground.
From this land leaving on one side the
accounts that have been received of the ac
cldent which took place al Cairo, and which
will prevent toe Viceroy from lc e ng an
army against Greece This Year: as also that
the Divan is incapable of equippinS, at PIE
sent, an army or feet ii is almost cert in
that Greece need M longer fear from the
harbarians any hiidrance in completing her
great undertaking.
The money which was so much wanted
last year is now provided, by the loan
which we have effected, and when we add
To the above advantages tho sympathy aud
bencyulencc of the l.. States Of America
in favor of Greece, which we cannot too
greatly appreciate, from our desire TO cs-
Iabll5h the system Of politics which they
possess In our country ; when We consl
der this, we feel a secret and gratifying as
>urancr that our Efforts will not be batIlcd,
and Greece will issue, like the Tutcd
States, firm the honorable struggle which
IN 40 many respects resembles their own.
Whilst we cherish the hope that our gov
eminent may be able To establish CORES.
