From the Panbcllenon, of Athens, May ~, 1854
The measure for the expulsion Of the Greeks from
the Ottoman Territory has been enforced with great
severity in Egypt. We have seen several Of our
compatriots, Of high character, inst from thence:
and many letters received from Alexandria give the
mournful news of facts the most distressing. The
acting Consul General Of Greece in Egypt, NJ. Con-
stantn Haralambis, while he remained, used every
effort to moderate Che anger Of the local government
and made many strong and repeated appeals to all
his colleagues Of friendly nations, to Dterpose their
good offices for tae Greeks, If this great severity
were continued. These efforts Of 81. Haraiambis
finally LED to most useful and happy result.
Dir. Edwin de Leon, Consul General Tor the
United States of America, touched by the sight of
the suferings and the prosecutions OF which the
Greeks were the victims, FASTENED, OF his own ac-
cord, and without orders from his government, to
ADDRESS the following appeal to Abbas Pacha, by
which he invoked the government, not only to be
more merciful and more just towards the Greeks,
but by touching the amour gr0pre OF the Pacha at
tire saue time, TO secure for them the privilege OF
remaining in Egypt Well worthy indeed, OF the
great American republic are the sentiments and the
language of this appeal; for example," NO nation
and no rulers can safely violate the great laws OF
humanity and justice in this age Of the world, and
retribution must speedily follow all acts ofunneces.
sary or Arbitrary cruelty These sentiments must
find an echo in the heart OF his H.ghne IS; ana ne
must recoect that this is matter on which the
whole civilized world will sit in Judgment, should
appeal from him 10 them"
We are as yet ignorant of the answer which
M Ed win de Leon Las received to ha des patch to
the Pacha yet, whatever it may be, we feel bound
on behalf Of suffering friends in Egypt, and for
ourselves, to acknowledge publicly the deep sense
of gratitude which the whole Greek nation feels
towards one who has so noby and generously pro-
tected our oppressed countrymen. The spectacle
s IN itself majestic, while ut the same time 10 sug-
gests a profound reflection. Two peoples, the
most celebrated Of the ancient and Of the new worlds
having gained their liberty after long and san
culinary struggles, meet and embrace fraternally in
Turkey. The American stretches the hand OF
snccor to his brother oppressed BY the hand
of barbarian. The time is probably not TAR
distant when q league in favor OF all the
oppressed peoples shall form rampant against the
ambition Of princes, and an invincible obstacle to
the absolute win Of governments to dispose OF the
lives and fortunes Of their people by diplomatic
agreements The great ami perilous effort now
made in the Orient may succeed; but that success,
however gained, must give privileges to the Chris
tian inhabitants, who for four centuries have been
invoking, on their knees, Divine Providence, for
their liberation.
