_ captive, of aiding those families that are in 
a state of nudity and starvation, who will 
soon arrive in almost every port of the 
Mediterranean, when they have been 
enabled to flee from a yoke worse than 
death. We rely upon your endeavours, 
and still more upon the high character of 
the nation among whom you inhabit. 
Thousands of bands are raised towards 
you to claim your interference in behalf of 
your oppressed countrymen. Thousands 
of hearts will feel grateful for your assist- 
ance. Brethren and countrymen, exert 
yourselves in behalf of humanity. With 
tearful eye we cordially salute you, and 
beg yon will pray to God for our safety. 
“YOUR BROTHERS AND COUNTRYMEN.” 
Yet, at such a crisis, the Emperor 
Alexander, on whom the hopes of the 
Greeks and of civilized Europe had 
been fixed, has compromised with the 
barbarians, allowing them to occupy 
Moldavia and Wallachia, and leaving 
Ane Greeks to the mercy of the deso- 
lators of Scio. Despair, however, 
maddens the Greeks; and, by the last 
accounts, they had obtained some sig- 
nal advantages over the Turks,—it is 
even reported that the fleet of the Ca- 
pitan Pacha is destroyed. 
Incidents in and near London, 
[Aug 1, 
MEXICO. : 
It is confirmed, that the states of 
Mexico have conferred the title and 
power of Emperor on Iturbibe, the 
favourite popular commander ; and it 
seems he is too weak to act the glo- 
rious parts of Washington, Bolivar, 
aud St. Martin, and has accepted it, 
but under a limited constitution. 
HINDOOSTAN. 
Hopes are entertained that the no- 
bleman who has proved himself so 
capable of consolidating these vast 
provinces, by the influence of his wis- 
dom and moderation, will continue in 
his government. At least, though a 
successor has been nominated in Mr. 
George Canning, yet nothing tran- 
spires in regard to the return of one, 
or the departure of the other. We 
wish only to see the Marquis of Hast- 
ings in situations where he can pursue 
his own uncontrolled and beneficent 
policy. When circumstances permit 
this at home, we then, and then only, 
hope to see him at the head of an 
administration.
