GREEoE.--NIr. Miller, who visited Greece
about two years ago, under the patronage of
the Greek Committee, has handed us the
following, having been requested to express
his views concisely for publication.
"The present state of Greece is in.
conceivab!y wsetchPd. Not only are
thousands Of its inhabitants destitute of
clothing sufficient TO protect them from
the iEclemency of the approaching win
ter, but are in want OF provisions TO en-
able them long TO support life. The
standard Of the cross was raised in the
Peloponnesus more than five years ago
since which time the Greeks have
shewn a determination worthy Of their
origin; and, in many hard fought bat
tie, have fully demonstrated that they
will live free of the Turks, or die in
arms. They have committed great mis-
takes, but not greater than one acquaiDt-
ed with their condition might have ex-
pected. During my residence among
them, instead of being surprised at their
crimes, ! have often been astonished in
seeing so much virtue, amidst such mise
ry and confn ion. The result ofthe strug-
gle ! think is uncertain but any thing
which can be done 10 relieve their pres
emf wants, will be deed of charity wor-
thy of those who rejoice in lessening
the aggregate of human misery. There
is, indeed, enough Of misery in every
part Of the world; but that of which
Fnow speak is Of peculiar kind, and
which must reach the heart of every
American. The Greeks are struggling
as our fathers did, for freedom and ia-
dependence, though not from Christ
ion bit from Mahometnn power. The
sacrifices they have made, believe are
greater than were ever made by any
other people. They cannot submit at
discretion, without jeopardizing their
lives. and exposing their uipes and
daughters to the lssttni passions of n beast
ial soldiery. The history Of former
Turkish treaties teaches them what
they may expect, if they submit or ca
pitula:e. What can they do? Tell me
not of Turkish mercy or Of Turkish
faith. They are mercifnl only when
there is fear of retaliation, and keep
their promise only when it is not for
their interest 10 break it. This is the
unhappy state of Greece. For my own
part, after having seen much of the ma
'ure of the present struggle. and learnt
something Of the character of the mod
ern Greeks, have no hesitation in say
ing that consider them deserving the
sympathy and aid of the Christian
world"
