with their slaughtered warriors, in many 
instances, all the treasures ‘of their. 
camps. 
“Distracted by the efforts of an un- 
equal struggle, the Greeks, during three 
years, seemed to be no longer. those 
who had formerly afforded to contend- 
ing Europe, the produce of their cou- 
rageous speculation. Foreign tonnage, 
in its turn, assisted their struggles. 
But, during last year, the hospitable 
ports of Ancona, Leghorn, and Mar- 
seilles permitted Grecian ships to intro- 
duce the produce of the country, under 
the flag of independence. This flag, 
every where welcomed, was seen along 
the coast of the Peninsula, passed the 
columns of Hercules, and reached the 
banks of the Thames. 
In Greece, the tarnish of slavery 
gives place to the bright hue of liberty. 
We now sce the wise “regulations of the 
police, suppressing, or preventing, the 
progress of that destructive rage, which 
the former Government held it almost 
a duty to encourage. The public safety 
secured, they provided for the ease of 
communication, and post-offices have 
been established upon some of the prin- 
cipal roads. Inspectors of the posts 
have been nominated; the adminis- 
tration is no longer left to the mercy 
of military officers; special overseers 
superintend the various wants of the 
camp; and order begins to reign in 
every department of public service. 
The Government renews the organiza- 
tion of the regular troops, formed in 
182], and disunited, by the pressure of 
circumstances, in 1822. The military 
code of France is adopted in Greece. 
The distribution of justice is better 
ordered. The courts of judicature are 
already established according to fixed 
gradations. There is a first tribunal, 
and a chamber of appeal, at Misso- 
longhi: arbitrary éxaction is banished ; 
and the citizen cannot be arrested with- 
out legal forms, He is judged imme- 
diately, and either absolved or con- 
demned, in public. 
Opinion i is uncontrolled ; and the pub- 
lic spirit is ready to take ‘flight. Four 
journals appear four times a-week—at 
‘Missolonghi, the Grecian Chronicle and 
Grecian “Telegraph ; at Hydra, the 
Friend of Law, a government paper; 
at Athens, the Athenian Ephemerides. 
They are all conducted on excellent 
principles of real national interest. If 
we have any thing wherewith to re- 
proach the compilers, it is, that they 
do not always write sufficiently for the 
Moral.and Political State of Greece.

The establishment , of ‘ibrarics, and, 
reading-rooms at Syra, Hydra, Napoli 
and .Missolonghi,. is announced, 
school, for ancient Greek and French, 
is in an actiye state at Missolonghi, un- 
der the direction of M. Demetrius Paul, 
a young professor of talent and patri- 
otism, who studied at Paris. ~ . , 
Missolonghi, before the revolution, 
was a poor little town, subsisting only by 
its fisheries ; now, it lifts its head above 
the sea, and has become a flourishing 
city, defended by eighty, cannon ;_ has 
shewn its courage in two formidable 
invasions; and is now enclosed by 
solid and regular fortifications, .con- 
structed by an ingenious Greek; and is 
adorned by the cenotaph of the, illus-” 
trious Byron, which stands beside the 
tombs of Kyriacoulis, Normann and, 
Bozzaris. , , 
Athens possesses a primary school, 
according to the plan arranged, intro- 
duced by Dr. Anargyros Petrakis, who 
has travelled in France. The establish- 
ment of a lyceum is also proposed,. to 
the direction of which M,George Genna- 
dois is called, late distinguished professor 
of Bucharest and Odessa. _ This lyceum 
is to bein one of the convents of Athens. 
The Society of Philomuses, disunited 
by preceding storms, begins to. re- 
vive; it proposes publishing a paper, 
to promote the moral and intellectual 
development of this part of Greece. A 
priest of Salamis makes his abode the 
place for the mutual instruction of the 
children of his island. The Grecian 
priests are fathers of. families. . The 
bishops were at. the head of the reyo- 
lution. Though the patriarch is. at 
Constantinople, the priesthood is not 
separated from the mass; and kindred 
affinity, church and state, thus united, 
make but one common cause, 
In the month of July, the senate 
formed a commission of the members, 
to present a plan of general public in- 
struction. They, proposed the esta- 
blishment of elementary schools in each 
district; .lyceums for the provinces, 
where Greek, Latin and French should 
be taught ; and a national, university, 
for the four sciences—philosophy, juris- 
prudence,
