THE GREEKS.
Accounts received at, Boston, di
rect from .Smyrna, so'tytc as the SOili
September, represent the ciiuse of the
Greeks to be in a prosperous condi
tion. The latest intelligence from
the Morca, Stated that the Greeks
had the upper hand of the Turks,
having “ completely destroyed their
army, of 22,000 near Corinth.'’ —
This seems to refer to some new suc
cesses of the patriots'since the dis
comfiture of the Turkish army which
threatened to overwhelm the Morca.
After being defeated, it will be recol
lected that Chourschid Pacha, with
.the remains of his anjiy, took up a
position at Corinth, where, it seems
highly probable, he was attacked by
the victorious Greeks, and again com
pelled to retreat. By the same ac
counts it appears, that the Persians
had defeated the Ottoman army of
12,000 men, and were actually near
.Kzerum.
The Turks are stated to be making
.groat preparations at Scalanova to
,attack Samos. The Saiuiots are a
very brave people, and with such an
example before them as Scio, it was
expected they would defend them
selves to the last possible extremity
lather, than surrender. If we were
to form an opinion as to the affairs
of the Greeks on the statements con
tained in the “ Oriental Spectator/’ a
Trench paper published in Smyrna,
we should regard the cause of liberty
in 'Jhe peninsula as next to hopeless.
The Editor of that paper, however,
appears so much biassed in, fayur of
and deals so largely In
va<me assertions, unsupported either
by dates or circumstances,. that no
greater faith ought to be placed in his
representations than those of the
A- Austrian Sr most of tlje
French journals, which are known to
be under the immediate influence pf
the “ Holy Alliance.” • ■
It w as reported at Smyrna, that In.
ycumsecjnencp of the Captain Pacha of
the Turkish fleet, (then in jthe gulf of
Pip ras) having seized an lonian ves*
sol, and Imaged the Captain who was
conveying jiroViskms to the Greeks,
the British Officer, Captain Hope, of
the fthine frigate, had demanded res
tlpitlub of the yegscl taken, and satis
faction for hangipg the Captain; that
Captain Hope’s first Lieutenant, who
earn' d the jiie»sage,treceived for an
swer, “he would do well to go about his
■ business, w lip would rbn the risk of
b,tfi(tg luiog alsothat on (his being
reimii.-tl to Captain H.;Jie wenl on
**" tffiifrd TKti - Parfla’s-ship -personally!
ami WH.s replied > in the same
ialangwage the same
import; and that, in consequence of
this treatment, the British officer had
called to his assistance five other men ,
of war, then fcmizing in the Archi- s
polago, with which he anchored op- .
posile the Turkish fleet. The result ]
of this manoeuvre was not exactly ,
known, (hough some pretended to say i
an engagement had taken place, in
which some Turkish vessels were
sunk. This seemed rather exagge
rated, but that’some dispute existed,
there was not the smallest doubt. It
is farther stated, that the Turkish go
vernment had not only refused to send
a Minister to (he Congress of Verona;
but lias solemnly protested against
the interference of the European so
. vereigns in their affairs with the
Greeks; who* they assert, are as
much their subjects, as the Polandcrs
are subjects to Russia, and the East
Indians subject to England. Mar
s naoud adds, that when he finds he
cannot manage his subjects, and their
- affairs, he shall call for the intrrfer
cnee of his Christian neighbors, hut
• not before.— N, V. Com, Auv.

I- A letter from an officer on hoard
’ the U. S. schooner Alligator, to his
friend in Washington, gives a more
11 interesting account of the battle with
r the Pirates on the 9th Inst, in which
Captain Allen was killed, than any
s before published. Hie prize schr.
which was captured was armed with
■ one long 12 pounder, two do 6 pound
' ers, 2 do 3 pounders carriage guns,
. and two w ith her red flag
nailed to the mast.
[2V. Y. Dally Advertiser.
“In the cabin and run were a
number, of bottles filled, with powder,
and slow matches through the corks,
some of which having been lighted,
and extinguished, it appeared evident
that the pirates had set fire to them
on first leaving her, expecting she
would blow up soon after our board
ing, but returning so instantly on
board, they extinguished the matches,
and (lie last time they were too close
ly driven in abandoning her to take
time to refire them.”
“ While in Matanzas, we were in
formed that the pirates had lost in the
action 14 killed, and that a great
number were taken on shore the same
afternoon, wounded: among whom
was the second in command, shot
through the body and since reported
dead.
“ I consider it the most hazardous
and dangerous action in which I have
been engaged.—l cannot but deeply
lament the fate of portr Allen, on
whom a widowed mother ami orphan
sister were almost wholly dependant.
Leaving them so appeared to be his
only regret in meeting his death, and
t his last wishes were, that tile Govern
ment, in whose service he had fallen,
should in requital, give due credit to
his name, and extend its protecting
| aid v fo them.”

It may be a suflicitnt reply to those
who have found fjiulv with the mes
sage of the President, respecting mea
sures for the suppression of piracy,to
lay before them a copy of the mes
sage of the President delivered to
Congress yesterday, 6A that import
ant subject.
7b the Senate of the United Stnles.
Recent information of the multipli
ed outrages and depredations, which
have been committed on our seamen
and commerce, by the Pirates in the
West Indies and Gulf of Mexico, ext
emplified by the death of a very me
ritorious officer, scorns to call foi
some prompt and decisive measures
on the part of government. All the'
public vessels adapted to that sendee,;
which can be spared from other inJ
dispensable duties, are already eraJ
ployed in it; but, from tlje knows
ledge which has been acquired of thq
places from whence these
issue, and to which they escape front
danger, it appears (hat it will require
a particular kind of force, capable of
pursuing them into the, shallow wa
ters to which they retire, effeclu{sj/|
to suppress them. I submit to die
consideration of Congress the pro
priety of organizing such a force lor
that important object.
JAMES MONROE.
Washington. Glh Dec, 1822;
It now remains .with Congr’"s to
adopt that system of order, recom
mended in the above message, and,
calculated to quiet the clamours of
those who are ever on the watch to
detect some error, real or imaginary,
in the political conduct of our worthy,
able and beloved chief magistrate.
Washington Ucpuh.
Among the memorials presented
to Congress yesterday, we notice one
from Mr. Dp. Kraft, of this city',.rela
tive to a plan for making a digest of
the public documents, which have
grown to such a bulk as, in their pre
sent composed state, to he very in
convenient for reference. As the
Library Committee is not yet consti
tuted, the memorial was laid on the
table.— lbid.
Tlic first bill which has passed ci
ther House of Congress at this ses
sion, is an act of justice too long with
held.- We speak of the bill which
yesterday passed the House of Re
presentatives for indemnifying our
citizens who, when Michigan was
held by the British during the late
war, advanced their .all to ransom the
captives brought in by the Indians in
the British service, it would be a
reproach to the Nation, bad the de
lay been deliberate and intentional,
that indemnity for an expenditure 'of
this sort should have been so long de
layed.—Nat. Intel.
The Minister from Mexico, and
his Suite, arrived in this city on Mon
day last.— Nat. Intel.
Earthquake. —A correspondent of
the (lazetfc in Baltimore County has
transmitted the following:—
“On Wednesday last,"about 11
o’clock, we experienced a smart shock
of an Earthquake, which caused
some considerable alarm during its
continuance. It commenced with a
report similar to the discharge of a
cannon, which was immediately suc
ceeded by a roaring noise like a chim
ney on fire. My overseer tied out of
his house, under an impression that
its old and tottering walls were com
ing down: in fact, it caused some
snow to slide off the roof. The A
merican Eagle,so conspicuously fixed
over the principal entrance into the
Arsenal, (the gate-way’) and perched
over an English bomb-shell, was
throw n from its station, and lost his
wings in the fall.”
It Is necessary to remark, that the
Eagle was noticed by the commander
ot the Garrison, as being in rather a
tottering state, and it was his intention
to have had it taken down, and more
firmly fixed, that very day, so we are
not to look on the tail as a bad omen.”

SATURDAY, DEC. 21,1822. |
—— m ~IL -?!.- - --
A report from the committee appoint
ed on that part of the Governor’s Mes
sage which relates to the case of Col. A.
Hammond, was made Up the 12th mst.
by Mr. Abercrombie, .their chairman.— ,
Its length prevents its republication in our ]
paper; nor is its insertion at present ma- j
tcrial, as the decision of the House upon s
' it is not yet n>ad£, and will not j
be finally made for'several days. The j
report concludes with recommending
! the adoption of the following resolution :
j Resolved by tlie House of Reprcscnla- <
lives of the. Slate of Georgia, acting for ]
ll the People thereof, Tliaty in the appoint- j
1 merit of Simon Whitaker, on the 12th of (
ij August last, to the office of Secretary of
I State, thereby removing Abner Hum- I
j mond from the same, John Clark, Go- !
veruor of the said State, assumed to him- 1
J self an authority not given to him by a |
I fair and rational interpretation of the ,
• of his country.
The Georgia Patriot, of Millcdgeville,
’ makes the following observations ;
(“The committee ‘on so much of the
Governor’s Message as relates to Abner
Hammond,’ have produced just such a
report as every body expected from the 1
known character and feelings of a ma- 1
jorily of that committee. We forbear 1
, making any remacks till we have an op
. j-oftauity of presenting it Co our readers.” 1

Our readers will perceive, ia this

to hind those savages over to their good

manders of our cruising vessels and i
Spanish authorities, in relation to *
pirates, privateers, &c.—ln the Ist
class, are comprised about 20 pirati
cal vessels captured, besides boats,
barges, At.—-The 2d Hass shows th’ 1
destination 0/ our cruisers; to wit,

that we have only one small vessel,
sloop Erie of 18, lying in ordinary—
and of course disposable against the
pirates.
From p. 87 to the end, is the
comptrollers report, showing the
accounts unsettled on the 4th

still unsettled—and also the amounts
drawn from the treasury since that

sum which yet remains unsettled.—
The results of both statements are
referred to in the President’s Mes
sage.
