Phenix gazette. [volume] (Alexandria [D.C.]) 1825-1833, 1826-06-09

glad to retract very humbiy-so says the Lon
don Editor.
AS it respects the Greeks there is nothing
dc6nitive or satisfactory. Even the fate Of
Missolonghi is still regarded as doubtful, altho'
the belefis that it is safe. The Trieste papers
10 as late as the Sd of April, persist in asserting
its fall, while the German papers to :he 10Th
Of the same month, declare the story with all
its details to be fable. The only account that
seems worthy Of credit, says that lbrahim Pa
cha on the 10Th of March, made another a.
tempt to storm the garrison, which was no
more fortunate than the preceding. He Alter
wards offered four millions of crowns and free
retreat, but his offers were rejected. Accounts
10 the 8,h April state that Missolonghl still
held out, and the Greek feet Of so ships had
arrived to its relief Zante dates OF March p,
sta,e that Mount Zygas was occupied by the
Greek irregular troops 5000 in number. This
body harnesses the left flank of the bcsieging ar
my, carrying off its provisions and watching
the moment for throwing succours into Misso-
longhi. 1t is reaorted the editor OF the Oriental
Suectator has been assassinated at Smyrna.
The last accounts from Constantinople, dated
the 2eth March, say that 900 heads brought
from Vassiladi and Paros, had just been expos
ed on The gates of the Seraslio. Among them
were the heads of 600 women, 80 priests, ard
many children The Turks were rejoicing at
so grand spectacle The Sultan who order
ed the ,hroats Of no less than $500 Christians
to be cut al Chios, has sent orders to lbrahim
Pacha TO give no quarters 10 the inhabitants OF
Missolonehi, 10 matter what their age, sex, or
| condition may be- These orders are positive.
There are, he says, 1000 souls Shut up there,
ana he has need OF tina, lumber of heads.
Ano,her.ac count from Constantinople asserts
that Mr. Canning had entered into negotiations
with the Di an, and it was even said, tha, ne
had had conference with Reisefendi, which
had lasted eight hours There were nothing
but conjcctares respecting the result oil his ell
forts. There appears to be but little reliance
ON the interference Of England, for Lord Liver
ocl, in reply loa question put by Lord Gros-
yenor. aauouuccd the determination OF the go
yernment 10 maintain neutrality.
The National journal OF yesterday, in max
ing a passing remark on the rumor that Mr.
LLOYD had sent challenge to Mr.. Randolph,
uncelemouiously expresses & belief that the ru-
NOR originated iii a misrepresentation" Of The
fact. ard SAYS that "a le ,,cr PROBABLY written
BY Mr. LLOYD, addressed 10 Mr.. Randolph, and
delivered to him, containing manly and dig
nihed remons trance against the course he had
pursued towards the Senate, and especially TO-
wards himself. We believe such letter was
put into the hands OF Mr.. Randolph, and that il
reused his anger bul we feel no dlfic ulty mex
pressing our firm conviction that there was no.
Thing in that ietlerwhich was, in the slightest
degree, inconsistent with that even and elevated
shirt which has ever been dscernible in the
course of Mr. Lloyd nothing which could pos
sibly injure his high standing in the opinion OF
his constituents or his country"
The word MISREPRESENTATION" as generally
! used, signifies statement Intentionally false, al
though it is sometimes applied to an uninten-
tionai MEASUREMENT.
Having been the first to publish the rumor
in question, we feel so!icious that the Editor oil
the Journal should substitute some unequivocal
term, which we hope he will do. we should
be glad to know too, whether in the extract we
have made from the Journal, the Editor would
be understood as meaning that Mr.. Lloyd
would not "iniure his high standing in the OPT
Mon Of his constituents" by engaging in duel.
We have been lei, by good authority,to think
otherwise, and il we have been deceived in this
as in the rumor of his having challenged Mr..
Randolph, we should be glad to be SET right
AS regards the challenge we can only say, tina.
many of Mr.. Lloyd's friends, in Congress, be-
eved the rumor, if, indeed, they did not ORR
CITRATE it.
I, has been suggested in the city Of Newfork
tina, the surviving Sisners of the Declaration
of independence, and the Presidents and Ex-
Presidents of the United States, be invited to
participate in the grand Jubilee Celebration,
for which the most splendid preparations are
now making. The Commercial Advertiser OF
