..t,s the following observations on
THE WAR IN GREECE.
No,withs, anding the sufferings endured by

tom different quarters oil their speedy su6Ju-
',,;op. months have passed, and they are nei-
S,r overcome nor discouraged. AS for sub
S.on 10 their barbarian enemies, we believe
a,v never harbor an idea OF it--at least we
NOW. that as the result OF long and close OBJ
..,yation. we have been brought to the conclu-
.oo tina, the terms Of amnesty proposed to the
.babi,ants of the Morea, by the Turkish conf
handlers, have not, in single case, been ac-
ap,ed.

reused and the Egyptians reached the western
mast of Greece before the Hydriots knew they

when il fell. the victors were slow in pursuing
heir advantage, and indeed their operations
nave been slow and indecisive ever since. 1t
i rported. that for three days previous to the
eaoture. the governor left the gates OF the for
hs,s open, inviting the enemy to enter, but
Without effect. After forcing their way through
Ae hesiegers, and escaping TO the mountains,
the governor wrote to Napoli, that the loss Of
their fortress was not fatal wound to their
,ouu,ry. for there was Missolonghi In the
b,eas, Of every Grecian. This was fact with
which the invaders had by this time become too
veil acquainted, and accounts for their pusila-
nimity.
Ibrahim, after several attempts to change his
nostiou. has shut himself up at Tripolizza,
where he will expose himself to the same SUIT
krngs he endured las, winter. Athens, 1t is
now satisfactorily confirmed, has been delivered
from another siege, while Samos has been sue
,essfully defended; and thus ends the vaunted
campaign, which was to ensure the total SUD-
pgation Of the country.
And le, il be remembered what circumstan-
ses have attended this war. The invaders have
been suoplied with ships Of war built In the
ports of France, manned by French officers, and
bearing French recruits, under the appreciation
and the pecuniary encouragement OF the French
Government. The Austrian flag has waived
in the same direction. The British, we hope
and believe, has not disgraced the cause OF hu-
manily. Many facts are wanting to explain
some Of the important steps in the history OF
this campaign, and we may hope ere long to
have all uncertainty cleared away Interesting
accounts are annually published IN England oy
travellers in Greece, and they have every year
increased in interest. The three Journals.
which form the work entitled "Picture OF
Greece in 1925" furnished us with clear and
history Of the military and naval e.
vents Of that year, and, to the disgrace OF those
foreigners who have ever engaged in iavor,ng
The cause Of the barbarians, their interference
was exposed. -,
II may be remembered, that in 1925, while
