GREECE.----The struggle between
the Turks and Greeks, says the Morning

with scarcely an affair deserving the
name of battle, at present it is
little thought of.-The advantages of
the Greeks at sea are decisive and in

Weet the Turks with a sentiment of
their superiority, and an assurance of
success, which must alone be sufficient
to decide the victory. The Admiral
commanding the combined squadron, af-
ter several defeats and much loss, re-
turned to the DardanneIles. The Turks
made a more obstinate resistance on
land. MIssolonghi was, in the beginning
of November, their great object, and
the Pacha of Scutari, 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 checks iron,

terday, contain the accounts of the
opening of Congress, and the Message
OF the President of the United States
This communication was looked for
ward to with the utmost. anxiety. 1t is
worthy Of the occasion, and of the peo-
pie who seem destined to occupy so
large space in the future history Of
the world.
What contrast between the manly
plainness of this State paper, and the
Machiavelism and hypocrisy of the
Declarations and Manifestos Of the Gov.
ernments of this part of the World!
Whatever lately were the intentions
ofthe French ministers respecting South
America, it is now asserted, from I'm.
doubted authority, that English policy
has prevailed in Paris over that of Rus
STA, and that not only will France NOT
assist Spain in any attempt to subiugate
her former American Colonies, but will
view, not with indifference, any sup
port which Russia, or any other nation
may lend her for this purpose. This is.
certainly, wise resolution on the part
OF the French Government for this
independence, of the New-American
States must extendtheir commerce, and,
thereby, increase the prosperity of
Frenchmen. This union of France and
England, in the great cause of Ameri.
can independence, is another strong
ground for expecting the continuation
of the blessings of peace, and, conse-
quently, an improvement 10 the public
credit of nations. There is no part, of
this speech, which can afford more
genuine satisfaction to every civilized
nation, than the notice which it takes of
the extraordinary and gallant struggle
made at present by the Greeks, 10 the
cause of general independence.

PRUSSIA.
BERLIN Dec. d.

A dreadful event, on which our pub
lie journals have observed a strict ST.
lence, took place in this city on the &C
casion OF the solemn entry Of the Prin-
cess Royal. To facilitate to the crowds
OF people the passage of the Spree, a
temporary bridge had been constructed
destined exclusively for foot passengers,
while the great bridge was opened for
carriages and persons on horseback.
The coachman Of a rich Jew, M. E.
phralm, wished to pass the temporary
bridge by force. The people opposed
this attempt. During the struggle
which enSued, child was crushed to
death under the wheels of the carriage.
and woman who ran to its assistance
met the same fate. The fury of the
people was then excited to the highest
pitch; the coachman was dragged from
his seat and instantly mastered; but
the horses, beaten on all sides, became
.ungovernable, and rushing forward up
on the bridge, which was covered with
people. The balustrade, too weak to
sustain the pressure of so many persons,
gave way, and many individuals fell in
to the Spree.-We have unfortunately
to lament the death of 12 persons, but
the number of those who have been
more Or less seriously wounded in con-
sequence of this accident, is more con-
siderable. The Jews carriage was
broken to pieces by the people.

ENGLAND.

Nina has arrived in London. The
papers state that this heroic man has, by
bis conduct since his arrivalin England.
added new laurels TO his brow. His
answer to the officer of public mani
testatioD Of esteem on his entry into
London, is worthy Of the better DAYS
Of Roman patriotism and devotion. He
emphatically says" These testimonies
OF kindness tear my soul. | am receiy-
ed as a conqueror; am dragged to
spectacles; festivals are offered to me.
while only desire as it is my duty, to
deplore in mourning and solitude the
misfortunes and slavery of my country"
To an invitation TO a public dinner he
replied,---'I am in i'll health; an unfit
guest for the rich repast. am unhap.
Ply: ! have left behind me an oppressed
country; a wife and parents, brother
and friends are still there. Are these
subjects ofmy mirth and feasting!' The
Spanish Committee have addressed a
letter TO Nina, with a tender of five
hundred pounds for his own immediate
use. The General, since his arrival
in England, has addressed letter to
Mr.. Canning, characterized by great
elevation of sentiment, in which he al.
ludes, in most affecting manner, to
the fate of his unfortunate country.
The Right Honorable Secretary, it is
said, was so pleased with this epistle.
that he has shown it in most of the di.
plomatic circles.

At parting, on my bosom fell.
But, Ah these scenes forever DER,
Beneath torrid, sickly sky,
