The movement of the Greeks Of Thessaly, which is
sticmatzed as rebellion against Turkey sudden
ment 1t has been long contemplated the part Of the
people OF 1hessaly Eprus, and Macedon The over
bearing despotsm of the Mosems has long cried for ven
genee but hitherto would have been madness to make any
attempt toward liberty. AS as the Ottoman power
became involved with Russia the poor and oppressed
Greeks resolved to assert and maintain their freedom
They have been far not very successful and there
reason to apprehend that at the present tme there is little
chance for them. The sympathes of most nations
strongly enlisted favor of the Sultan, because he is
stng the graspng preonsions Of Russia. Unfortunately
for the Greeks they have begun their work just at time
10 awaken suspicious that they have been dealt with by the
emssaries of the Gar Hence all French Austrian, and
English papers denounce the movement as rebellion IN
favor Of Russia. This the Greeks entirely dsavow, assert
ing most solemnly what is undoubtedly true, that they
seek only the Liberation Of the enthraed provinces Of
Greece from the despotism Of the Mosem yoke
under which they have been groaning for centuries.
Another hindrance in the hostility Of the Roman
Church in whose ambition the present difficulties have
their origin II is singular fact that this church prefers
the Crescent the Greek Cross The following sentence
which we quote from the work Of distinguished member
of that church explains the true state Of feeling The
writer the Baron g. says;

This is, without question, the feeling of the Roman
Church il is ready to sustain the Crescent in all its
des otsm and cruelty rather than have any other form
of Christianity than its take its place, especially it's old
rival the Greek Church. Ii the ntrgues of Roman
