LEISURE MOMENTS No. 1. GREECE. Tho condition of litis afflicted conntrv has lmg interested the benevolent feeliim of the friends of man.

The ufferii.u liurnat.ity of those struu'uliti'j for liherh, drew from their native oil manv heroic spirit? devoted to the rauf e for yv'hirh Leonid. u fought and died; and even transferred the nodle roET, with romantic entlitii.im, (rom the charm? of eh si;m palaces to th cli:c shores of depredated fin-ece, living ennobled in hi? own immortal sons, there to breathe out hi nnmw' soul, there to excite the rejrret o' lovers 'of the muse?.

Emancipated Grc would not disturb them by the force o arms. She would exert a silent, and, haps, an involuntary influet.ee on the rounding nations. Beholding before t; the glories of liberty, and contrasting th with their own condition, the great be, of the people, inherently sovereign, won be enlightened and aroused to action, b degrees they would become more ane more alive to the evils of despotism; men would then begin to think for themselves, prejudices, by which they had long been bound, would be broken, the scales would tall from their ecs, the conviction of the injuries heaped upon them, and of their own natural rights, would tlahacross their minds, and then, tho' conjecture rut.? wild a to scenes the old w ot Id would exhibit, it settle down to this conclusion, that the people .would eventually free themselves from their present masters. What were the effects of the American revolution cn France and Ireland? Fearful to despots. And would they not be more fearful from the freedom of Greece, situated in the midst of Europe? The Alliance ste this, nd would take care effectually to guard themselves from the dancer. Alreadv we have an earnest of the measures the Alliance would puiuc, il Gteece siiould repel her invaders. In the plenitude of their goodness, they proposed to the Greeks a king from some one (if the royal houses. Was this for freedom? No. verily. He was to be ranked w ith the ir other vassal king6, an instrument for the internment of the people as the it;teitjt ol monarchy might dictate. Where then lies the hope for Greece? I am well persuaded she cannot exist as a republic, nor do I believe she can stand an independent kingdom, till Europe be ieo lutionized. She may possibly free hersel from the Suitan, though, at present, tin re is but a dark prospect of this; hut it will ordy be to change her masters. There many Kos iukos may fall, but no u eh-
