" Very dear Bf others!" — The Lord, v.ho 

 punished our fotbers and their cliildron, an- 

 nounces to 5'on by my mouili^ llie termina- 

 tion of the days of tears and triuls. His 

 Voice has declared that you shall be the crown 

 of his glory, and the diadem of his kingdom. 

 The Holy Sion shtiXl no longer be delivered 

 over to desolation, (Isaiah, ].\ii. 3.) The tem- 

 ple of the Lord treated like an ignoble place ; 

 his vessels of glory draj^gcd in tlie mire (1 

 Mac. ii. 8, 9.) are about to be avenged. 

 The ancient mercies of the Lord are about to 

 descend upon his jieople. The impious race 

 of the Turks have filled up the measure of 

 their iuifjuities ; the hour of driving them 

 frqm Greece • has arrived, according to the 

 word of the Eternal, " Drive out the slave, 

 and the son of the slave." (Gen. xxi. 10.) 

 Arm, then, Hellenic race, doubly illustrious 

 "te your sires, arm with the zeal of God, each 

 of you gird on the sword ; for it is better to 

 perish with arms in hand, than to see the dis- 

 grace of the sanctuary and of the country. 

 (Psal. xliv. 4.) Let us hurst our bonds in 

 sunder, and the yoke that weighs upon our 

 heads (Psal. ii, 3.), for we are the heirs of 

 God, and joint heirs of Jesus Christ. (Psal. 

 viii. 17.) 



" Others than your prelate will speak to 

 you of the glory of your ancestors ; but for 

 inj'self, I shall oidy repeat to )'0u the name 

 of that God to wlJom we owe a devotion 

 stronger than death.^(Cant, viii, 6.) 



"To-morrow, preceded by the Cross, we 

 shall march towards the city of Patrasso, the 

 soil of which is sanctified by the blood of 

 the glorious martyr, the apostle St, Andrew, 

 The Lord will increase your courage a hun- 

 dred fold ; and to add to the strength which 

 is to animate you, I release you from the 

 fast of Lent, Vihich we observe. Soldiers of 

 the Cross! it is the cause of heaven itself that 

 you are called to defend. In the name of the 

 Father, and of the Sou, and of the Holy 

 Ghost, be blessi'd and absolved from all your 

 sins." 



In the Morea the Greeks are said to 

 have massacred the Turks everywhere, 



and a mutuai massacre seems to have 

 spread through European Turkey. 



But the Greeks have not declared for 

 Legitimacy, and the Turks are not Ja- 

 cobins, w-e heir notliing therefore, of 

 the march of the armies of the Holy 

 Alliance in behalf of the tndy holy 

 cause of the Greeks, for whose success 

 we devoutly pr^y. 



SOUTH AMERICA. 



Hostilities have been renewed in 

 Venezuela. General de la Torre, who 

 succeeded Morillo, in a proclamation to 

 the Spanish royalist forces, dated from 

 the iiead quarters at Caraccas, 23(1 

 March, thro^^'s the blame of renewing 

 the war on Bolivar, who has cliailenged 

 de la Torre cither to enter the field, or 

 " acknowledge pretensions of indepen- 

 dence which he knew it was not in his 

 (de la Torre's) j.ower to adniif." 



Letters from Lima to the 9th of Fe- 

 bruary have been received at Kingston, 

 Jamaica, by way of Panama. The ope- 

 rations of San Martin had much strait- 

 ened the communications of tltecapital, 

 and his head quarters were pitched 

 within six miles of it. The Viceroy 

 Pezuela, knowing the disposition of the 

 natives and the disaflection of the 

 troops, had carefully avoided general 

 engagements, and in his correspondence 

 with San Martin had addressed him in 

 the style of civility. These proceedings, 

 however, were not agreeable to the taste 

 of the municipality and consulado, 

 principally composed of Sj)aniards. 

 They issued a proclamation setting a 

 price on the head of every officer, from 

 San ?»Iartin <h>wnwards, in the Chilian 

 army. On tiie 29th of January the 

 general officers of the royalist army in 

 Lima, deposed' Pezuela, who had no 

 alternative hut lo submit. In a mani- 

 festo which he publishes, he states that 

 he has resigned the command because 

 he was destitute of the means fur resist- 

 ing the enemy. He had embarked in 

 the British ship Andromache for 

 Panama, wliere his arrival was daily 

 expected.
