| European powers demands that indifference, or,
as they themselves call it, neutrality, although we
have always imagined that a just policy could only
consist in lending assistance to those who were
un,awfully prosecuted, inhumanly tyrannized over
and oppressed, particularly whilst 1t might be done
without injury to one self, and with the great
| est facility.
| Besides, is it not affecting to perceive, that
many Europeans, even after the proclamation OF
that indifference neutrality instead OF remaining
tranquil and neutral spectators, have gwen the
Turks the benefit of their advice and assistance,
aad have furnished with supplies the fortresses
which we were besieging, and which we had sue
ceeded in reducing to a state Of danger notwith-
standing that the Turks had massacred our innocent
brethren whom they found there Is 1t not
distressing to that those Europeans unite with
our enemies and wage with them their battles both
by land and sea, as If it were not sufficient that
all the Ottoman nations are assembled to destroy
the few soldiers which can oppose TO them,
and that all their fleets are arrayed against
small and feeble vessels Who does not sbudder
to the raised with the crescent in opposi
ton to a small Christian nation, which fights under
the very banners OF that cross Who can refrain
4 from weeping and deporing, when he hears that
many of those, who are called all Europeans, give
balls and drinking parties on learning that we have
! suffered some new misfortune
| " We know not how history will narratc this
| incomprehensible apathy OF Europe but we think
she will be at loss to find word sufficiently
pressive to denounce the nhumanity of those furi-
Gus and implacable enemies of the Greeks, who,
instead of remaining Indifferent and neutral Chris
tian spectators, have, in an incredible manner,
deganeraed into barbarous Turks, and ragged even
more furiously than the Mussulmans themselves
against our unhappy nation. Yes ! men OF our
own faith, whom we deemed our brethren, and
whom we have never injured or desire 10 injure,
hate US and seek to wound US in every manner even
more deeply than the Turks. This is at once in
comprehensive and extraordinary.
! eve certain that our country will be saved
Though she is prosecuted by open, as we'll as by
unjust, unreasonable, and secre, enemies. We con-
tide in Divine Providence, and trust we shall
not be forsSken we are encouraged by the zeal oil
all the true sons Of Greece, by the prudence of our
governors, by the courage of our chiefs and SOL
oilers, by the msgnanimi,y OF our admirals and sail
ors, by the daring OF the captains OF ships,
ard by the love of friends, hope that Greece
will erect trophies to record the defeat of her i'm
pacable enemies, and that she will completely tr-
umph over them. Its possible that we may not
live TO behold that brilliant ard glorious day, when
our country shall enjoy perfect freedom and indie
| pendence; but notwithstanding the sufferings we
| nave endured. shall die contented, on rejecting
that we die for cur country, in freedom, and no
longer the slaves Of barbarous tyrants before we
close eyes, we will bequeath TO our posterity
bic enemies prosecuted our nation in its Struggle
for emancipation, some men convinced US both by
words and deeds that they really our friends {;
we will teach children that PhilhelIenic wo-
men, aided Greece by their sympathetic efforts, and
lent her all possible assistance that they reiocet
| with the women of Greece when their country
! triumphed, and wept with them at her misforiunes
and that, in word, they really became Greeks in
their wishes fer nur rrnsrerity
" We shall leave as an advice 10 our country
women to pray that no harm may happen 10 those
who without cause our enemies that thew
may be permitted 20 live and see the victory and
| triumph of Greece, which they so shamefuIy and
unreasonabiy prosecuted for we think they will
be sufficiently punished by the reproaches of their
! conscience, by the opprobrium which will be at
tacheu to their names, by the infamous and dis
honorable inheritance which they will leave to their
children.
e" We will command them, generous friends of
Greece, 10 praise and celebrate every OCCASION
the love you have shewn country never TO
forget the gratitude they owe you, and to hand it
down to their children. Although we do not as yet
wear bosoms a medal with the inscription
To the PhiiheHenic ladies be assured that the
remembrance of your kindness is engraved on the
tablets of our hearts, and that your much loved
names will be the constant theme of our admiration.
