"While in her power and resources, as they are
illustrated in this speech the nation of the United
States exhibits the vgour of ripe years. she in these
sentlmentso oil active humanity seems to our thought
to preserve the fresh feeling of YOUTH and not to be
wholly engrossed older states are, in the pursuit
or support of purely selfish interests. And we have
thus pleasure from contemplating her less as that
metaphysical insentent thing, state, than as an
actual human and feeling being.
GREECE.-The advantages of the Greeks al
sea are decisive and inconestibe. On this element
they meet the Turks with sentiment of their su =
Iperorty, and assurance of success, which must a.
lone be sufficient to decide the victory The admit
raj commanding the combined squadron, after sew
Ieral defeats and much loss returned to the Darda
Inells. The Turks made more obstinate resis-
lance on land. Missoonghi was in the beginning OF
November their great object, & the Pachaof Scutar
who commands one of the only parties deserving
the name OF armies for the Turks was still pursuing
his enterprise against that place. in spite of several
lchecks from the Greeks The latter appear to
lcarry on against him sort of guerrilla warfare
advancing from, and returning to the mountains as
the occasion requires. The Turks are even stated
to have lost train of artillery destined for an i'm
preston upon Missolonghi. On its way to EtoIa
the Greeks made descent from the mountains
between Etoia and Acarnani, and took not only
this artillery, but large quantity of munitions of
war, and the very escort that accompanied them
The emancipation and independence of the Morea
was so perfectly organized that corps of 6,OOO|
Muraite troops were expected by the Greeks to aid
them against hssuff Pacha and the pacha of Sou
tart, who command the only considerable forces
that are opposed to them. 1t is even reported that
the army of the latter composed chiefly of Albani
ans, had revolted and reduced him TO the necessity
OF retreating. =
The latest account we find is an article dated An
coma, Dec. 10, which says, that "letters from Cor
fu, Cephalona, Trieste, and Calama, confirm the
defeat OF the Turkish fleet. Out of52 vessels only
% have made their escape with the Captain Pacha,
to the Dardanelles. Twelve have been taken, burn
ed or run ashore, and the rest remain bockaded in |
the Gulf of Leila by the Greeks. Maurocordato isl

and glorlousy repused the enemy 1t is even said
that they have taken the traitor, Barnaguto prs-
oner The inhabitants of Scapala, Sciate, and Schy-

Turkish fleet had landed to reduce them.''
