1803, and the Austrian Court was not a stranger lu the consequences of that condition of the Turkish Em pire, which the Count Lichtenstein had justly described. Mr. Volney, who saw the operations of the Rus sians soon after the peace of 1783, might not conceive that the French Empire could assist in a revolution which might eventually extend its own dominions and commerce, when he made the following statement of French commerce in the- Levant. *• France,” says he, “ has the great est trade to Syria of any European nation. Her imports consist in five principal articles : 1st The cloths of Languedoc. 2d Cochineal from Ca tli/.. 3d. Indigo. 4th. Sugars. 5th. West India Coffee, to mix with that of Arabia, which is more esteemed, but ol'higher price. To these may lie added, hardware, cast-iron, sheet lead, tin, Lyons lace, soap, See. The : even factories of the French were at Aleppo, Scanderon, I.atukia, Tri poli, Said, Acre, and Rainia. The ; am o. these imports a mounts to six millions of livrcs, for which raw ma- ict iuls were thh ilv received.” ’I he new positions the French have taken, and the value of the new Illyrian de partment, have suggested the method iu which the French may penetrate into the Tin Irish Empire. The Tur kish part of Croatia extends along the Unna, from Sclavonia towards the coast of Dalmatia, between the Hungarian Croatia and Bosnia, and must fall an easy victory to the! French, ft is situated, to accommo date the Illvriun department, and to Yavor 11 ic co-operation of Austria and France in any invasion of the wes tern provinces of Turkey. The e- vents of 1594 may notify the Turks \vhat they are to expect in this coun try. But as we have not the motiv which can determine the opinions of Europe, the emancipation of tin Creek Christians might be consider ed with pleasure by those who ven lure, iut. the Indies with hopes of pro moting the religions happiness of mankind. It is to be believed that they who would relieve strangers would save their own brethren. The following is the late statement of the Gfeck Church l»v Doctor King:—“ As the Creek Church is ct the highest antiquity (says that in genious English man) suits doctrine prevails it this day over a greater extent ol country than any oth Church in the Christian world.—It is professed through a considerable part of Greece, the Grecian Isles, Wallachia, Moldavia, Egypt, Nubia Li bia, Arabia, Mesopotamia, Syria Cilicia and Palestine ; all which are comprehended within the jurisdicti on of the Patriarchs of Constantino pic, Alexandria, Antioch and Jeru salem. To these if we add the whol Russian Empire in Europe, great part of Siberia in Asia, Astracan, Casan, Georgia and White Russia in Poland, it will be evident that the Greek Church has greater extent of territory than the Latin, with all the blanches which have sprung from it.” To prove the oppressions of Greek Christians we will not appeal to the modern writers who have embarked in the political designs of the pre sent times, but will appeal to Mr. .(Wheeler, whose Travels have beta ;fore the world much above a cen try, with high approbation. He in- us 1G75, that he visited the atiiftjch qjf Constantinople : that he found his palace and his church in the western quarter of the city—That the church war. but a small, obscure edi fice without great ornament or beau ty, md his place no better than the worst sort of English parsonag houses. He then gives the political history <>f this church. “ The Pa triarchs,” says he, “ depend on the Grand Seignior, both as to their spi- rituaTand civil jurisdiction. They buv tfiis dignity dear, and possess it na." it is not then to be wondered that Christian sympathy should lent to emancipate such brethren fron such oppression, or that the Chris tians of their own communion in Rus West should purchase its reconcilia tion by the deliverance of the East from the worst of bondages. It is not a question with us how far Chris tians should interfere with the poli tical concerns of nations, to promote the interests of their respective com munions, but it seems not irrational to suppose, that the delivery, of bre thren who would ask it, might be asj^ .... isked whv he had collected so manylthe merciless grasp of the btlhger- auuier.ee .t tae po.ace oi the i liun- >nd;«ns at tint place most of whom'ents ; that grasp has fallen like the leries, prince Alexis Kurakinj minis- u.d beenbn icht fromthe lakes and'stroke of death.

A gentleman who has lately arri ved from Plymouth, R is now in this borough, assured me that there were thirteen American ships in that port, nine of which had been condemned. Thus have we realized the Halcyon days which were to return with the renewal of commerce. Hillhouse, Lloyd, Pickering, and their clan, were continually thundering in our ears, that notwithstanding the decrees and orders of the belligerents, our commerce would still flourish, and that the embargo n as its most dan gerous and only enemy. We were told that France nor G.

The business of Parliament was yesterday finished, and this day the prorogation took place. The com missioners appointed by his majesty for this purpose were the lord chan cellor, the earl of Liverpool and lord Walsingham. The following is a correct analysis of his Majesty’s speech, as delivered by his commis sioners, to both houses of parliament. His majesty states, that, the busi ness of the s ession being concluded, he has thought proper to bring it to a close. His majesty then congra tulates both houses upon the capture otGuadaloupe,an event which for the first time in the history of Great. Britain, has deprived I'rance of the last of her possessions in the West Ind ies : and also upon the subsequent capture of the Dutch possessions in the same quarter of the globe ; acqui sitions which must iuevitably deni iv- ag-un exposed tov Paris, and admitted to a private! the entuny of all further nil an s c
