Mr.. Clay and his friends from Gen. jackson, whom
they would naturally prefer, Mr. Adams, yet we are
much disappointed in it, We had confidently reckon

GENTLEMEN--I have the pleasure to inform you,
that the Chancellor arrived with safety at Napoli di
Romania the evening of the Odd of May. We
were fortunate in finding the U. 8. rgate Constitution,
under the command Of Capt. Patterson, from whom
we'll as the officers under his command, am high
ly gratfed to say, receive every attention and
sstance which it was in their power to grant.
After finding my countryman DR.. Howe, and con-
9nIt wit m "a IN
coed, in order to accomplish the object contained in
your letter of instruction, and also addressing letter
to the Government of Greece, explained the object of
the donations, proceed to the break bulk. We
landed at Napoi di Romania six hundred and ninety
barrels of -four bread and meal and 90 erces of rice,
together with nineteen boxes and packages of dry
goods. At small castle in the harbour of Napoli we
landed 500 barrels Of -four, bread and meal, for the
of those inhabiting the mountains between Napo
Ii and Corinth; one hundred barrels of flour were
shipped board an Ionion vessel for the Island of
Caamo, for the of those who escaped from Mis-
solongh before it's fall.
Though we were told several times, that there
would be efforts made by the soldiers obtain some
part of the cargo for their own use, yet every thing
pearance Of disorder.
On the morning of the 9th received letter from
the Government, signed officially, bidding me again
welcome to Greece and politely inviting me to come
to the Island of Poros, where it is sitting I'm

best to proceed Immediately to Poros with the remain
int part Of the CARGO for the purpose of deliver
ing it into the hands Of the Government, but show
respect for it, and to be still the
of war; where the greatest misery always exists. We
arrived at Poros the evening of the Goth. call
ed upon the Government soon after my arrival, and
explained to them my Instructions The tears flowed
copiousy from the eyes of Sleraskes who is now
Secretary of State, when mention was made of the
suffering women and children and old men. The
Government expressed the wamest gratitude for this
expression Of American sympathy for the sufferers of
Greece. soon obtained large magazine, where

We most confdentaly hope, gentlemen, to be able
to lay before you hereafter, every minute proceeding
both Of our plans and manner Of distributing the pro-
perry committed to care.
For the salvation of Greece have much, and
even more hope than when felt it last year-I then
thought that without foreign assistance she could not
hold out one year longer; that year, however, is pas
sed, and Greece is nearly in the state she
at its commencement. ~ Thousands of women and
children are living grass and snails twothrde Of

set up az beacon of suffering for the mighty of tho
earth TO look upon and wag their heads. My hope
for her. however, is in that Being who make the
wrath of man to praise him. and the remainder of that
wrath he can restrain.
Captain Baker has faithfully discharged his duty as
a navigator, and has safely delivered to me all the
cargo contained in the bill Of lading, together with
one hundred and one barrels for which have given
him my receipt; it being, he says, mistake, made at
the time of shipping the cargo. have also endorsed
and delivered to Captain B. his request the bill of

their duty, and that the entire cargo of the Tonne
