To I'm. l.. Stone, Esq. editor ofMe N I, &. .4do.
Sir: You lament the want of direct ana correct
information upon the condition and wants o Greece,
and you have reason to do so, nor you alone, but
poor Greece has reason bitterly to lament that her
situation is not known in America for had it been
Americans, by applying the means which they have
sent here in different manner, might have been
the means Of saving her from destruction. Greece,
my dear sir, is in deplorabe state-it is useless to
conceal truth her enemies without ignorant
and weak, but her enemies within are strong and
terrible; the Turk brings trouble and distress upon
the country. but the Greek brings teniod misery,
wOe and ruin. The accursed intrigues and Jealousy,
the avarice and lust of power of her civil and militia.
ry arstocracy have brought the country to the brink
of ruin. from which miracle only save her, and
that miracle would be the repentance and better
conduct of these men. Look, sir, at he state OF
the Peloponessus there YOU see the flag of liberty
waving upon the walls Of three proud fortresses !;
but these iorresses are the of intrigue. OF
plotting of secret. nay, Of open internal war. The
other night, while the army of the Pacha was with
in eight hours march of this place, was aroused
by the roar of cannon, and the rattlng of musket-
ry; arme myselfin the thought that the Turks
had made sudden assault upon the place. aud
was astonohed to find no movement on the part OF
the inhabitants-each remained still i'll his house,
. as though aware of what was going on ; and soon
= learned that Colocor0n, with a band OF soldiers,
had assaulted the castle, in hopes to master IT,
, and make himself independent, both by It's pos
session and that of the treasures Of DllyaDs, which
he knew were concealed here This is the man
= whom see YOU hold high in esteem in America, fol
his courage and patriotism =! Match me, ye Gods
match me another man who has drawn upon TN
Peloponessus so many mlserles Coocoruni.

under the orders of government the Pacha has dis

N his demands for pay and rations for armies whlc
he never raised by his intrigue by his secret opposi
