1t will be seen BY an article under our TO-
reign head. that the account OF the massa-
Gre of the garrison of Missolonghi, as pub
lished in our paper of last week, is entirely
discreditcd. We cannet conceive what mo-
tive could have induced the propagation of
such deliberate and base falsehood. AL
though the late account Of the fall of this
strong hold of liberty, in Greece, is, upon

much affected, and of these the farmer ex-
