 The Greek fleet under Lord COChrHne, is daily assuming much more respectable ap- peRrance. and will soon be able to make head against any naval force the Turks can send out.
 Rnt though, as have stated,the resources of Greece are nearly exhausted, and govern ment has seldom a dollar at command, yet the spirit of the people iS not crushed and only few days before the battle of Navarin", there was fitted out, perhaps. the best reg lla- ted and most ratiOual expedition that has sal led during the war-I mean for the retaklng of Scio principally got up, and regulated ny GIarakis. This excellent patrint,an shrewd statesman, ,Sn the first rumOrs of the intended interference of the European SOVereigns in favor of Greece, saw that they must include all parts of it actually in arms and in order to have ScO included, resolved to attempt the raising the standard of revolt there. His influence over the SciOtes, induced them to come readily into the plan, and they all cor dially seconded him Let us give the poor Greeks their due, and if we too often find them mercenary and trickish, when we see genuine and generous patriotism, let it be known not only did Glarakis labor day aDd night upon his plan, but all the Sciotes, scattered through Greece, strained every nerve, and contributed all they could; merchants wound up their concerns, gave their money into the com mon stock, and shouldering musket. prepa- red to start and risk their lives for the recov- cry of their native island. An expedition, con sisting of 1900 irregular, and 1000 disciplined men, sailed under the command of Col. Fab vier, with every necessary equipment; all the expenses of which were paid by the volun- tary sacrifices made by the Sciotes; and be- fore left Greece we heard of their safe de- harkment upon the Island. and with the most hattering prospects of effecting its con- quest.
 The Candiotes were also getting up an ex- petition, for the re-conquest oftheir Island and if the Turkish fleet is prevented from go- ing to succour it. Candia, (which is almost equal to the Morea in importance.) must. in a few months, be in the hands of its rishtful masters.
 You have doubtless heard of the brilliant affair at Salona, where Hastings entirely de- stroyed seven of the Turkish vessels, and ob- tained the complete mastery of the Gulf of Corinth.
 Thus you will see, that though the origin ally small national resources of Greece have been exhausted bv seven years struggle with their powerful enemy, though the country has been wasted, the crops destroyed. and vil- lages burned and what is worse, ,broils and civil wars almost continually kept up by the guilty intrigues of her selfish and avaricious chiefs. still the spirit of the people, though bruised,is not broken and let us hope that Heaven has in store blessings for nation so long and se- verely tried.
 have the honor to be, Gentlemen, your obedient servant.
