The CAUSE or GREECE.
We cannot better fill column this evening than
with the annexed appeal of Greek mothers, wives
and daughters, to the sympathy, and as far as fe-
male influence can effect any thing, to the aid Of
their own sex throughout CHistendonl.
Tho sufrssiAes. the horrors, which those heroic
.somen have Witnessed and borne, have not tanned,
am. will not tame the spirit which draws its inspi-
ration from the glorious part of Grecian history,
and which is nourished by the recoeclions OF
brighter and more glorious days, and Influenced by
the deep sense of actual, unmeritei and most de-
-gEadIng oppression. We have cohversed with a
Greek gentleman now here, who is person.
ally acquainted wrh most of the ladies who
have signed the sutjnined appeal. He describes
tlrem As being srsons OF education, of refinement
accustomed to the care and enjoyments of opu-
1ence.
LIT IT be judged, then, what must be their suffer-
ngs under tire state of things which they are oblig-
ed TO witness, to endure. Then, too, let the cou.
rlse, the forttede, the undsing and irrepressible
spirit be appreciated, which induce and enable III.

ra.e struggle of their husbands, brothers and sons

SUGAR.

The cultivation OF beets for making
sugar, it seems has completely succeed.
ed and is greatly extended in France.
l, appears that this cultivation enriches
the soil, and is useful in preparing it
for wheat crop. At one factory in Ar
ras, 2S8 900 lbs. Of sugar were made in
one year. An acre planted in bee,s
yields suficiency to make 1900 lbs.
OF sugar, and considerable quan,iy oil
molssses. The vegetable Is cultivated
and the sugar made in private families,
by very simple process. After the
sugar is extracted, the root is excellent
food for cattle. II these things are tru-
y stated, the profitable making OF sugar
by the hands Of slaves, will SOON be At
On end.

These are thy triumphs. Genius thou vert

Thine is the feeling soul the lofty mind.
Untaught by thee see man Savage roam.

But wave thy wand, and 10 how changed the

Where rosmed the Red Man, in his wild de-

Rich fields, and towns, and temples, now de-

Thy magic power, Genius has been there.
Hail then, great Power, thy fame shall bright

While the vast earth shall on her centre turn /;
Till future ages shall our plains behold,
With turrets frightened, and with waving

From east to west, from north to south, our

Freedom and Science, joined with Peace and
Love,
And Virtue, pointing to the realms ABOVE;
While truth and Justice reign from pole to

And one bright blaze Of Glory crowns the

To thee are due both gratitude and praise

For Genius self, Almighty God is thine.

TRADE WITH THE BRITISH COLONIES,


We published yesterday a paragraph from
the New York Gazette on this subject we
have seen a letter from a gentleman in New
York TO another in this city, which in relation
to that paragraph says-'It was published with
out the authority Of Mr.. Wcodhouse, and what
ever may have been the intention of the British
Government, he assures me that in. his opinion,
the Collector Of Halifax has put the correct
construction on the aw-the legal construc-
tion-so that il is uncertain whether theicollec-
tor will make any change, or whether any Or
der in Council will come out"
In the Albion of Saturday, we find the fol-
lowing paragraph on the same subject:
John l.. Woodhouse, Esq. Inspector General
of the British Customs, (who in England, we
believe, holds the office of Inspector OF Planta-
ton Accounts} arrived in town from Nova
Scotia, and New Brunswick, via Boston, and
will immediately proceed TO Barbados in
the prosecution of the duties OF his appoint
ment. Mr.. Woodhouse we understand, after
going through the different islands, Demerara,
&c. will return hither and finish his visit Of in
spection in the Canadas. The statement which
has appeared in some of the papers purporting
to be MIR. WIS opinion, impugningt the construc-
ton put by the Collector OF the port OF Halifax
on the 4,h section of the late Colonial Trade
Act, was unauthorized by him.

sion and alarm has prevailed at the Stock Mar
ket Throughout, the week. SO many circumstan-
ces having presented themselves to the specu-
lators, among whom a strong conviction was
entertained, that, owing to the increase OF 'he
rate of interest by the Bank OF England, the
Funds, previously SO much depressed by the nu-
merous failures, and the almost total extinction
of credit, would have fallen from to 10 per
cent. lower. Their anticipations have not
as vet been realised, the prices OF the Funds on
The contrary, having advanced more than 2 per
cent. above the extreme decline on Monday and
TUESDAY, when Consols for Account fell to 794,
and i, is reported that a large sale was effected
nriyately at 70. On Wednesday the Market
had so far recovered from the panic, that Con.
soils for Account were sold very currently al
from sl4 to sla, although it was insinuated that
the Emperor Alexander had been assassInated
1t was also reported, at the same moment, ,hst
he Grand Duke Constantine, setting at aeh-
ance all decenciy, had actually declared war a.

the following interesting particulars
The Emperor of the Brazils had issued a
proclamation, stating that he had been forced
to the unpleasant measure OF pressing men;
and hoped that his subjects would forgive him,
as it was absolutely necessary to have troops.
He was surrounded by three armies, the size or
situation of which we have not been informed
Of, and called upon his subjects to take up
arms in support Of the present government.
Capture of Montcvideo.-By a short arrival
from the south, news was received that Mon

Banda Oriental, now the Eastern Province
The JOY Of the inhabitants OF Buenos Ayres
was such, that they surrounded the house OF
the Brazilian Consul at that place and gave
three cheers. Several provinces in Brazil had
sent in their deputies, and been received as in
dependen, states; in consequence OF which the
Brazilian Consul had demanded his passports,
and set out for Rio de Janeiro. The provinces
in the north of Brazil continue quiet. All the
peasants and free blacks were pressed for SOL
