The V,zir Monammed EmiD Pacha,
by the Grace of God, Geaeralisslno Of
KomsIis, Comnandaat of the Dsfiles,
Seraskisr Pienipotentisry, 60. So
trhs Impression Of his seal is here
stfixed.)
Honorable Captain Panourias, and
the Civil Chief aims of Salona, and the
other Rayas (subjects after greeting
WOO, we oeg leave to i0forn you, that
it is contrary to oar good wishes, and
with the most lively emotions of heart
that we see that the evils of war, and
the constant misfortunes which for three
wears have fallen, and still continue to
fall on you, have not served as lesson
to you, TO induce you to abandon your
errors, and to pat sa cad TO those ef-
forts at rebellion, and To obt ain, by our
intervention, the cleunency of our most
pu,ssant and happy emperor, IN order
that you may hive heDceforward, after
the example Of all civilized people un-
der the shadow of his imperlal Protec-
ton. Two things unfortunately appear
to sgitats you, and divert you from
returnlng to . salutary repen'ance.-
You hope by perseverance, to fatigue.
in the first instance, the ferces OF hls
Hishness, and thus TO succeed in pro.
isst as impracticabls as IL 10 silly and
iudiscreet usder all circumstances.
The longer you contiDae in pushing fer
forward your criminal snterprizs a.
gainst power 40 imposing a. that Of
our sovereign, the more you irritate his
anger, and by that very means reduce
him TO the absolute necessity Of redoub.
ling his efforts to bring you into COM
plete subsection, and pail down your
imprudent arrogance.
A second motive which restraints you
from reeediDg from your erroneous
councils, Is that you are apprehensiVe
lest, at the termination Of these evils,
which you have drawn down upon your-
selves, the hatred of his highness to-
wards you will be implscsble. What
an error 10 this The clsmency and
humane sentiments of his Highness are
manifest even to strangers! How much
greater. therefore, will It be iowa rds
YOU who are his crestures--his Ema-
netullah u deposit intrusted to him by
God.)
Danish. therefore, from your minds
these mistaken notions-forsake your
errors-rspeDt sincerely, and implore
necessarily the boundless clemency of
his highness, of which ! can assure you
you will Immediately receive the most
manifest testimonies. As for myself, In
the character OF PleDipotsntiary, shall
most willing receive you with open
arms; and will feel q psternai care for
your welfare and comfort. and |, from
the present moment, grant you most
perfect aud entire amnesty for ell that
has passed.
Hasten lhen to give an answer to my
letter, and may nay discourse inspire
YOU with sslutsry sentiments. On the
other hand. you will be responsible be-
fore Goo for the blood of the innocent
for that of the women and children,
which must be split, and which must
fall on your heads
ANSWER OF THE GREEK GENERAL
sPanourias, General OF the Supreme
Government Of the HelleDists, wishes
much happiness to Mahommed Emin
Pachs.
ihave received the letter Of the Sd
Of this month, which you did me the
honor TO address to me and the other
Chiefs Of Sslona. On your arrival In q
province bordering on that in which l
held command, with pleasure | heard
yoo sp ken Of az man superior, by
che nooleness OF your sentiments, to the
Turkish Generals who preceded you;
and it is with the most lively feelings
of regret, that 90 reading your letter,
YOU speak of the miseries which the
Greeks have caused the Mussulmsos to
suffer: these mlseries can never be CON.
pared with those with which you for
long period of time have overwhelmed
The Greeks. As to those mis- ortunes
which you say our war will entail upon
us, they are to us so many pleasurcs.-
Become hardened and enduring as we
are by the privations and the fstigues
90 which your iron rule has rendered
us Infatuated, We fnd our present po-
sition Q fortunate one, it is only to men
enerva,sd by effsminacy that is could
appear wretched.
