subservient to the wishes of Georgia, and
had been most instrumental in making
this fraudulent treaty. In plain truth,
this 5000 900 was 10 be distributed only
among the MIntosh party; and this par
tial distribution, or bribery OF portion
of the Greeks, at the expense of the ma
ton, is openly and unblushingly defend
ed by Gov. Treup, in his message oil the
Sd of June, 1925.
In order, however, to prevent any ex-
animation of these disgraceful transac-
tons by the national government, this
treaty was sent TO Washington with the
greatest despatch, and on the nineteenth
day after it had been concluded in the
western wilderness of Georgia, it was
laid before the senate OF the United
States at Washins ton, the very last day
of its session.
The treaty was concluded on the 18th
Of February last, and was transmitted to
Mr.. Calhoun, and by him handed to the
hen President, on the Cd OF March, with
his advice, of course, for its ratification,
as it was fair upon its face, and accom-
plished an object which the United
States felt desirous of etfecting, when it
could be properly done. The next day,
having been approved of by the Presi-
dent, i, WAS sent to the Senate, and thus
| Committed to that body before the inau-
suration of Mr.. Adams, who received it
after his accession to the presidency
from the senate for his signature, that
body having ratified it.
Ii inus appears, that the managers of
his business transmitted the treaty from
he western part of Georgia with such
despatch, as to prevent those Indians,
who might be opposed to the sale of the
lands, from being heard a, Washington
before its ratification. Ii is moreover as
serted by M. Compere, the resident
missionary IN the Creek nation, that the
Creeks, con6ding IN the benevolence and
justice of our government, were persuad-
I'd that the government would not regard

A letter from an American gentleman

A letter from an American gentleman
in Smyrna, dated June 8, says:
"Our political news from the Morea
is very discouragiDg for the struggling
Greeks. Clouds are rising, which 1
hope to Heaven may disperse in sun
shine.
"The loss of Navarino we long fore-
saw, as noted in my previous letter.
This OF itself is of no great importance,
but the dissensons among the Greeks is
OF far more importance.
The Mariots refuse to march against
the enemy, unless Colocotroni COM
mands them. If this General is true to
his country, Greece is still safe, il he is
a traitor, the now desolate groves of
Athens and of Sparta may become still
more desolate, for she is lost, and we
shall see Greece again become the land
Of oppression and misery, and the ven-
geance of the Turk will crush with re-
doubled horror all those who have had
any hand in the revolution. The Greeks
are not only contendiDg vito the Turks,
but have to combat much with (would
you believe it) some of the Continental
Powers! who convoy Turkish ships and
Turkish ornaments.
1--WE cannot learn if the American
transport was burnt at Modon or not.
We have strong hopes that she has been,
and that the American flag will no longer
be disgraced by its being in such SER
vice." id.

Turks found Bunker Hill al Navarino.

will have the effect which the invaders
of our country met with in l775, time

Arrivals in New York have brought
London and Paris accounts to the middle
of July.
They contain numerous articles on
the affairs of Greece, but they are, as
usual OF late, quite contradictory. Ac-
cording to some of them, the Greeks
were in the full tide of triumph, and
their independence made certain-whilc
others affirmed, that they were losing ON
land all they gained on the water,
and tina, they were prey to cabals and
disunion.
The Austrians were eyacuatipg the
Kingdom of Naples; and the Imperial
and Royal coterie at Milan had broken
up. .f
The British Parliament was proro-
gued the 9th July sine die /; and it was
confidently asserted that its dissolution
would shortly take place. The British
Kings proroga,ion address was replete
with graduation on the affairs Of his king

tant assurance to the two Houses.-Tha.

1t must be admitted, notwithstanding
the glorious successes Of the Greeks az
sea, that the Turks have strong footing
in the Morea. The garrison Of Navarino
was composed of the elite of the Greek
force. lit was considered bulwark to
prevent the Eruption Of the Egyptian ar
my; and while It's defence was continu-
ed, the invading army was confined to
the southwestern pein, of the Peninsula.
BY its gallantry it prevented that irrup-
ton two months. What will be the sub
sequent movements Of Ibraham Pacha
can only be conjectured.

HOME, SWEET HOME "A SONG.

Mid pleasures and palaces, though we may roam,
BE it ever so humble, there's no place like home
A charm from the skies seems to hallow us there
Which seek thro the world is not met with else
where.
Home, home-sweet, sweet home!
There's no place like home-therc's no place
like home.
An exile from home, splendour dazzles in vain
Oh! give me my lonely tbatch'd cottage again
Where the birds sing gaily, that came at my call;
Give me these, with the peace of mind dearer than
all.

FEMALE NEATNEss AND TASTE.


In a female particularly, they well deserve the
name of virtues; for without them, whatever may
be her excellencies, she has none that will be no.
nored and acknowledged a woman may be in
dustrious and economical she may possess well
cultivated mind but destitute Of neatness and taste,
she depresses rather than eevates the character Of
her sex, and poisons instead of purifying the foun-
tain of domestic and public happiness.
Whatever a nisinformed pioty may Judge, true
piety, well informed, is the Of every personal
and social virtue Religion has not unfrequently
lost her pure and benign influence, by needlessly
arraying herself against all those personal accom-
plishments, which though not the first constitute
one Of the appropriate andimportant duties of the
female sex. You may discover neatness and taste
in the mind Of praiseworthy woman, be her con-
dition in life ever SO humble. You shall see them
interviewer with her thoughts, expressions and con-
duct, and giving cast to every thing she does
Her manners will partake largely ofthese excellent
qualities, and in every respect be the emanaton Of
a neat and polished mind, and q we'll cultivated and

tation of softness which is disgustul and nauseous

died expression Of that cautious delicacy which is

this great master Of human life concerning the in
frequency of such an union of minds as might de-
serve the name offriendship, that among the multi

crowded about him, he did not expect that very
spacious spartments would be necessary to contain
all that should regard him with sincere kindness, or

HEAVEN.

WEEP, mourner, for the joys that fade,
Like evening lights, away
For hopes, that, like the stars decay'd,
Have left thy mortal clay;
Yet clouds Of sorrow viii depart,
And brilliant skies be giv'n,
And though on earth the tear may start,
Yet bliss awaits the holy heart
Amid the bowers of heav'n
Where songs Of praise are ever sung,
To anSel-harp, by angel-toDgue.
Weep, mourner, for the friends, that pass
Into the lonesome grave,
As breezes sweep the wither'd grass
Along the whelming wave;
Yet though thy pleasure may depart,
And darksome days be giv'n,
And lonely though on earth thou art,
Yet bliss awaits the holy heart,
When friends rejoin in heav'n:
Where streams Of JOY glide ever on,
Around the Lords eternal throne
