GREECE

dI.lNeu III @ureece, with brig and a large
schooner and 100000 francs, RENTED by
the French Philhellenes. He had been
appointed, alter some objection on the /
score OF his being a foreigner, High Ad-
mlral OF the Greek Fleet. A squadron !
had been equipped, consisting of the frig-
ate Helias, the steamboat Perseverance,
four chosen Hydriot ships, and his own
two vessels-in all, eight sail, and had
gone on secret expedition. It was
thought ne would go to Negropont and |
Zeltoanl, or towards the Mediterranean. /
The Porte was said to he much alarmed at
his arrival, and was .despatching fleet
under the command of Soleiman, an Eeyp-
tian, who was resolved to measure his
strength with the English Admiral. Eight
men of W ar, two frigates, four corvettes,
and two briggs, had already sailed from the
Dardanelles, to be followed by thirty six
men OF war and many transports.
Proclamation Of Lord Cochrwne to The
Greek Nation.
GrcekS-Your most dangerous enemy.
DlScow, is overcome-what remains to
perform is now rendered easy. The peo-
pie on every side rush to arms-the fate of
the Acrapolis is no longer doubtful-the
besiegers in their turn arc besiegod-tho
transport of provisions is intercepted-the
passes are guarded, and retreat is becomei
impossible. The liberty of the classic soil
OF Athens is ensured-once more will its
arts flourish here.
Oh Greeks Having attained this OBJ
Iect, lay not aside your arms so LONG as
the terocious Mus5ulman treads the sacred
land of your fathers. Let noble emula
! ton for glory animate your young seamen
and the heroes of the Continent. Let
them hasten in mass to take their sta
tons In the National Fleet. Then if in
dependence and the possession of all your
rights are sufficient to enable you to stop
the passage of the Hellespont and carry
the war into the States of the enemy.-the
naughty Sultan-the sanguinary DESTROYER
OF your cOuntrymen-will become the VIC
tim of his own subjects. The Mahomedan
power will destroy itself! The banner of
the cross will again float on the walls of
st. Sophia-Greece will again have laws
her cities will rise once more from their
rtlins-and her future glory will equal that
of ages past. But think not, oh Greeks,
that your country will be free, unless each
of you hastcns to her assistance and de-
fence.

The Greek Agent in Paris, has received
news from Napoll di Romania to March
29th. "The threat of Lord Cochrane to
leave the country if their disputes were
not settled, had the desired effect. The
two assemblies have decided to meet as
Porros, and to abandon the pretensions
which have caused all the acrimony be-
tween them. On the gath of March, very
bloody affair occurred before Athens, when
the Greeks carried an important position"
letter from Smyrna, dated April IL,
says ;-"The last news from Athens, was.
that Gen. Karaiskaki had arrived at the
camp of Pholoros, to its relief but is too
weak to attack the Bashaw, who is $4,000

as had occurred. The streets, which were
formerly crowded, arc now almost deserted.

exlled, and new executions are daily taking
place; the most trivial supposition of dis
content is punished with death"
