Summary Of news from Greece, COM
piled from letters from Italy of August
i, published in the Nuremburg Cores
pondents; letters from Marseilles of
July 81, and from Trieste Of August |,
inserted in the Augsburg Gazette and
Austrian Observer Of August 6.
"The two first papers, which are ia
| vorabIe to the cause of the Greeks, a.
gree in saying that great discord reisns
between the inhabitants Of the CONT
nent and those of the islands, the latter
not wishing to recognize the authority
of Colocotroni. Ibrahim Pacha had
not altered his position materially, hav-
ing his head quarters at Cariiena, be-
tween Tropolitza and Arcadia, where
he awaited his junction with the troops
sent from Navarin by Hussein Bey.-
The Austrian Observerpublishes some
details on the embarcation Of these
troops, which we cannot question. On
the 2lst Of June, the combined fleets Of
Maui and Sachturi, (63 sally quilted
Suda, which they had been guarding
since the 18th, in order to prevent the
Turks from going out. In consequence
ofthis retrogade movement, the cause
of which is not explained, the Captain
Pacha, in conjunction with Hussein
Bey, quilted Suda with eighty sail
without obstacle, and OH the 2sth
an engagement took place between the
Turks and Greeks at Cerigo. This
action was not attended with any seri-
Gus consequences; but Sachturi retired
from the contest without any ostensible
cause, soon followed by the rest of the
Greek fleet, and on the Cd of July the
Turks were in sight of Navarin. On
the 5th they landed 5000 Arnauts; on
the 9TH the Captain Pacha sailed for
Patras and Missilonghi, where he ar
rived on the 10th with frigates, 10
corvettes, 10 briggs and some schoon-
ers. On the 9TH or 9Th Hussein took
up the line of march for Tripolitsa, by
the way Of Nisi and Leondari. Thus,
it appears, Ibrahim Pacha would re-
ceive assistance, as we unprecedented, in
stead Of being taken prisoner
CITY OF ARAFAT ON GRAND ISLAND.
Extract from letter to the Editors of The Ga.
zette, dated Buffalo, September Is, 1926
This was the day for laying the cor
ner stone of the new city of refuge for
the Jews on Grand Island on the Mag
ara river, called Ararat, and founded by
M. NJ. Noah, Esqr Of your city; but
owing to the difficulty Of procuring a
steamboat sufficiently large to convey
the company down, it was resolved to
celebrate it in this place, and to proceed
on the morrow to the Island and depos-
it the stone. 1t was accordingly cele-
brated with a military and masonic
procession which moved from the Ea-
gle Tavern at about II o'clock, A. NJ
in the following order:
Music-the Military-Citizens-Ci.
vii Oficers-State Officers in uniform
u. S. Officers-Masons-Clergy-
Orator-Masons.
On arriving atthe Episcopal Church,
the morning service was read by the
Revd Mr.. Searle, Hebrew Hymn was
sung by MIR. Seixas, after which Mr..
Noah delivered an address in mas
teily style. He took view of the an.
cient history of the Jews, their situa-
ton and prospects in modern times,
both here and in other countries. He
stated his views as regards the future
asylum of that oppressed people; and
remarked the strong similarity exis-
ting between them and the Aborigincs
of this country-they worship one God
their customs are the same in rela-
tion.to neutrality-suspicious. OF a
dultery, &c.-and the resemblance be-
tween the Hebrew and Indian tongues,
he observed, is very striking.
! have no doubt that the project is
feasible, and better spot for agricul-
tural and manufacturing pursuits could
not be selected. The soil is very fine,
and the water privileges abundant,
PROCLAMATION TO THE JEWS.
Whereas, it has pleased Almighty God, to
manifest to his chosen people the approach OF
that period when, in fulfilment of the promi-
ses made to the race Of Jacob, and as re-
ward for their pious constancy and triumphant
fidelity, they are to be gathered from the four
quarters of the globe. and to resume their
rank and character among the governments of
the earth. And whereas, the peace which
now prevails among civilized nations, the
progress of learning throughout the world,
and the general spirit of liberality and tolera-
ton which exists, together with other chang
es, favorable to light and to liberty, mark in
an especial manner the approach Of that
time when "peace on earth and good will to
man" are to prevail with benign and ex-
tended influence, and the ancient people OF
God, the first to proclaim his unity and omni-
potence, are to be restored to their inher-
lance, and enjoy the rights ola sovereign, in
dependent people-Therefore ], MoRDEcu
