An invitation to support the suffering Greeks
appears in the Russian Journals with the name
of DIR. Hufeland, Councillor of State, and Ply
sician to the Emperor:
BRRLIS, April 90.
Since the return of the Duke of Wellington
is no longer kept secret that decisive steps
have been taken for the deliserance of Greece,
and above al the high-mlnded Nicholas of Rus
STA, in the consciousness OF ms independent
will, stands opposed TO the Porte, which has
rejected with bafbaroas arrogance every ami

manifesto which viii justify these steps. A
sign how soon this may probably happen MY
be Judged from the following Invitation to
support the suffering Greeks, which is printed
in the newspapers (eyen in the State Gazette
of April 26)
The fate Of the unhappy Greek nation must
afflict every feeling heart. The victims of war
and barhsrous cruelty daily increase in most
dreadful manner, and thousands OF women and
innocent chIdren-a prey to famine atd all
kinds Of misery--stretch out their hands for
aid. To assist these our unfortunate feil1w
Christians, TO alleviate their misery as much as
possible is, know, the ardent wish of all hui
anane persons, and therefore feel convinced
that only meet the general wish, by making a
beginning, and offering to receive contribu-
sions for this purpose which | will take care

The journal des Debas contains three letters
addressed to MIR. Deessert, member of the
Greek Committee at Paris. which confirm the
opinion we have already expressed, that the
reports of the capture Of Missolonghi as well
as those of the raising OF the siege and of the
death of ibrahim, were at the date OF their
PRONUNCIATION, untounded What may have
Happened since, remains to be shown. The re-
ported capture OF MissolonghI was said to have
taken MACE on the 20th Of March. The re-
MUSE of Ibrahim Paeha, in which he was
mortalv wounded, was said, IN other accounts
10 have taken place March "a. The letters
which gave the account of the death OF lbra
him, and of the raising of the siege, were said
10 be dated at Zante, March 80, and at Corfu
April 4, 5, 6 and z.

noticed very unusual fight OF crows,
who seemed to be attracted from all di-

farm, and an lncessant noise and hustle
agitated all that arriye1 TIL gentle
man took his gun in his hand, and crept
towards the spotto ascertain the ocea
sion, and to make shot amongst them.
On getting within view of the centre of
attraction, he was amused TO find the
hustle to be occasioned by battle be-

obstinately, that they would not sepa-
rate until the gentleman took hold of
them with his hands, and carried the
combatants- home with him.

Debates on the Adoption Of the
FeAerax Cons .itution.

yyyHE subscriber has in the press, and will publish
ii during the early part OF the approaching Session
of Congress, with anew type and onhandsome paper
The first volume Of series Of Debates, Resolutions,
and other Proceedings had in Convention, in the
STATES Of Massachusetts,, NeaO- York, Pennsylua-
MA, Nrginia, and North Carolina, on The adop-
tion Of tile Federal Constitution as agreed upon
at philadelphia, on the l7th Sept 1887.
The whole work not to exceed FIVE Volumes large
tavo; but it is impossible in this notice. to fix the size
of each, they will contain less, as may be
solved upon, in Justice to the subject, and
psh the aim Of the editor The price, of course, to be
regulated by the quantity of matter, which will be
carefully collected and arranged, from the most authen
tic sources.
mthe first volume will be printed the debates, &c.
of the Massachusetts Convention; embracing the
speeches of Samuel Adams, Fisher Ames, Rufus King
Governor Brooks and Mr.. Bowdoin; besides the re.
marks of many other distinguished Revolutionary Ora
tors and Patriots of Massachusetts, and list Of the
Yeas and Nays taken on the final question.
From the various propositions laid before Congress
at its last son, (about twenty to amend the Consti
tuition, the Editor conceives that in producing publ
cation like the one proposed, it will be the best
ner OF showing the true light in which Revolutions
ry Fathers viewed the points Of difference,
which finally led to that compromise into which the old
Trceen States found themselves obliged enter for
the formation of good constitution. 1t will be the
aim ofthe Editor to shoD that the Constitution oas form
ed upon the basis Of Sate rather than upon the basis Of
q free white population. The numerous amendments
lately proposed to it, regard to the election of resi:
dent and Vce President, require that the Constitution
should be exhibited as intended and really u.s.
