MATHEW CAREY, Esq.
Dear Sir perceive III a late National Ga
zelte the report of the doings of Committee
raised for the relief OF the Greeks, and as the
organ Of that Committee beg leave to address
YOU In the report alluded to, which have had
an opportunity only TO look over hastily, vari-
Gus modes and plans of relief are suggested,
which l doubt will receive due consideration
on the part Of those to whom they are referred.
My only objection in intruding upon you, is
to observe that received from Greece, the day
before Yesterday, accounts of the country,
which have led me 10 think, that the amount
of SUFFERING FOR WANT OF FOOD,
is equal to that produced by the direct opera
ton Of the hostile. One Of the. letters have
received, is from our countryman Jarvis, who
has distinguished himself in the military SER
vice Of the country and possesses the confidence
Of its Government. He wrires as follows:-
"The Committees for the relief OF the Greeks
in France, Holland and Geneva, have sent
twelve cargoes Of provisions and an agent to
superintend their distribution. This has pre-
vented the final starvation Of the country. Let
no; the United States, among so many states
and nations be Indifferent TO the sufferings OF
this dreadful, but no, desperate conflict"
With this letter from Mr.. Jarvis received
one from Mr.. Kolocotroni, who has been SO
prominent from the commencement OF the revo-
luton as military chief, and is now at the
head Of the Greek forces. His letter Is dated
at Napoli, goth Of July, and is written in Ro-
maic; he thus expresses himself on the assls-
tancc received by his country from other ma
,ions:-"Our Christian brethren throughout
the world, sympa,hising with Greece in her
extremity, have sent us aid of various kinds, to
ties for the relief Of the Greeks in England, in
France, in Switzerland, and many other coun-
tiles of Europe, we have frequent communics-
tons of articles both for suo,enance and war;
which have proved relief 10 the poverty and
restitution Of the Greeks, to whom the foe has
left no agriculture, no commerce, no arts, and
who being exclusively occupied in the struggle
have no means OF supplying what is needful
either for sustenance or military operations.
The people of America, people Of Christians,
people devoted TO liberty, OF whose friendship
and sympathy for Greece, we have already re
ceived ample proof, are to our great misfortune
the farthest removed from US. But remote as
they are, sir the friends of Freedom and the
friends of Humanity may yet contribute to the
relief of our Country, nor shall their aid be the
less efficient or serviceable particularly in our
present emergency"
From this authentic source of information. /
am led TO think, dear sir, that great amount Of
suf, ring mis- ht be relieved by the despatch Of u
vessel loaded with provisions for this unhappy
country. Many excellent and bene volent per-
sons would cooperate in this mode Of aiding
the Greeks, who would object to other propo-
sitions. An amour, of funds quite inadequate
to any efficient military equipmen, would suf-
fee for the purchase OF very considerable
quantity of food and lis transportation TO the
scene Of distress.
am, dear sir, with high respect, your friend
and servant,

CURE FOR THE TOOTH-ACHE.
Baltimore Gazette
At recent meeting of the London Medical
Society, Dr. Blake stated that the extraction or
excision Of teeth was unnecessary He was en-
abled, he said, to cure the most desperate cases
Of tooth-ache (unless the disease was connected
with rheum a,ism) by the application Of the fol-
lowing remedy TO the diseased tooth:-"Alum,
reduced to an impalpable powder, two drachms;
nitrous spiri, Of ether seven drachms; mix, and
apply them to the TOOTH" Mr. Fay, the Amer
lean dentist, who was present, admitted with
much candor that in 95 cases out of 100, where
surgeons and dentists are applied to for the
