GRECIAN REPLiiLIC. Supreme Governing Commission. To the President and respectable •'members of Greek Philanthropic

Committees o! the Ignited States of America. The Greek nation, fully sensible of your unwearied exertions lor its benefit, and of the many and various aids you have afforded toils cause, feels impressed with the deeped .gratitude, a-nd being unable to muke any other return, tenders thro' the Government its sincere & heartfelt thanks. Jt hopes that for the future also, as indefatigable Philanthropists and zealous friends of justice, you will not cease to labour for those indisputable rights which Turkish tvrafiny has for four centuries trampied on and is now struggling to destroy entirely. Your countryman, Dr. Howe, a man remarkable iur Iris professional fckill and for his \rrtues, has served Greece as a physician and surgeon for two years and a'half, with cheerfulness, ability ami honor, and to the entire satisfaction «f Government V. This excellent tnnnr, ardent to serve Greece in a manner analogous to his strong enthusiasm for the cause, has conceived the plan of establishing regular hospitals tor the army. The intention is noble and worthy a thousand thanks, and if put in execution can be of the greatest -assistance to Greece. Hut how execute it-in the 'present deplorably poor state of the country Kor this reason becomes to vou in the hope of obtaining the neceasary means for exeautin^ his %j)lan.

Gentlemen, the wants of Greece are indeed worthy of pity. The fcoveri years struggle oh the one hand, continually diminishes her •"national resources, while on the othe* it augments and multiples the necessities of the future. The

Greeks repose their hopes in the •'noble generosity of the Philhelleni»ts of the enlightened world, but particularly upon those of America who, having been once placed inn like situation, can (gel sesaibly what

To (he JVew-York Greek Committee. Quarantine (Jround, Feb. 5, 1828 Gentlemen—Amid the various contradictory, and exaggerated accounts which are circulated about Greece, you may naturally cxpect some authentic information, from those whose residence in that interesting country has enabled thew to know the truth. A9 far as relates to the distributing of the contributions which N. York so liberally sent out, your immediate agents., Messrs. Miller and Stuyvesant, will doubtless give you full and satisfactory information allow iue only to remark, that they have been the means not only of relieving innumerable cases of individual misery, ot feeding the hungry, and clothing the naked and houseless, but they have produced a good moral effect upon the peopie they were spread far and wide, not only to those in the iarge towns, and along the sea coast, but penetrated into the interior, and were partaken of by thousands of those wretches who have escaped massacre,and lied iron, their burning viilaiges, to the caves of the mountains those who did not parf«.kf, heard of them and were cheered in their misery by the thou»iit

commiserated, and that they were Ciinsiiii-!eii wortiiy of having the hand oi charity stretch-ed out to them from across the glooe.

Tiiis v\ icie spreading feeling could not fail to do good, and encourage the people to persist in their noblecause nor was it unaccompanied by gratitude toward the donors thousands who had never heard the name of America, learned to pronounce it for the first time with a blessing and Greece will never forget the kindness dene her in her hour of bitter adveisity

The situation of Greece, Gentlemen, previous to the destruction of the Turkish Fleet at Navariuo was most aiarming ihe overwhelming superiority in number, In strength, ami equipments ot ihe Turkish vessels, enabled them to pour in supplies and reinforcements from Egypt and Constantinople ti the Morea, and Ibrahim Pacha with his iliscipiiued Arabs, was preparing to sweep acrossit, and join the hordes of the indefatigable Cutayhl, the conquerer of Alliens, before Corinth. And what had the Greeks to eppoie nothing—not the shadow of resist ance without money, or amunition, or provisions, how could the slight-' est lorce be kept together The Peloponnesus must have been agaia laid waste, would have been useless to both parties- for though the Greeks could not have deiended it, they would have letreated to the fastnesses of the mountains He long kept up from them a partisan warfare but the mass of jthe people must have taken reluge in the isl and*.—Here was lost tue 4iope of the Greeks, and here it is probable they would have made good their stand, arid constituted A small, but free people. Dot battle of Ma varino has changed -all, and it is probable that the future fate of Greece will be decided in the Cabinets of Europe if left to continue the struggle single handed with '1'ui key, she will prooably come off conquerer her fleet will he able to resist the enemy's, and if tlie supplies are cut oft' from Egypt only three months, Ibraham Pacha must quit the Morea, tir starve, iind in six, every fortress in it, mnst fall into the hands of the Greeks. As for renewing the attempt to conquer it by a force from liomeiia across the isthmus of Corinth, it would be beyond the power of the Sultan it would require a force of thirty thousand men, whove line of communication would have to be kept up through a vast tract of country, intersected by rugged mountains,and difficult defiles, most tlangerous in the hands of mountain warriors such an expedition would probably share the late of Dvama Ali's in 1823, who only saved a miserable remnant of 1)is army, which on entering the Morea consisted of 25,000 men. I

As for llomelia, it is lost, irrecoverably, for the present but Caodia, Cyprus, Scio, and Mifylene, will be recovered—and these, with the Morea, will constitute an important nation and should the cry of the people be heard, their government will be a republican one.

The Greek fleet, under Cochrane, is daily assuming a more respectable appearance, and vriU goon be able to make head against any naval force the Turks c^n send out.

But, though, as have 'Stated, the resources of (ireece are nearly exhausted, and government has seldom a dollar at command yet, the spirit ot the people is not crushed and only a few d^ys before the battle ol Navarino, there was fitted out, perhaps, the best regulated arid'most rational expedition thfrt ha£ mailed during the war—1 mean that lor the staking of Scio principally got up,

excellent patriot, and shrewd statesman, on the first rumours of the intended interference of the European Sovereigns in favor of Greece, saw that they must include all those parts of it actually in arms and in order to have Scio included, resolved to attempt the raising the standard of revolt there. His powerful influence over the Sciotes, induced them to come readily into the plan, and they all cordially seconded him. Let us give the poor Greeks their due, and if too often, we find them mercenary and trickish, when we see examples of genuine and generous patriotism, let it be known not only did Glarakis labor day and nisht: upon his plan, but all the Sciotes scattered through Greece, strained every nerve, and contributed all they could merchants wound up their concerns, gave their money in to the common stock, and shouldering a musket, prepared to start and risk their lives for the delivery of their native island An expedition, con sistingof IJOO irregular and 1000 disciplined men, sailed under the command of Col Fubvier, with every necessary equipment all the expenses of which were paid by the voluntary sacrifices made by the Sciotes and a few days before I left Greece, we heard of their safe debarKcnent upon the island, with every prospect oi effecting its conquest.

The Candiotes also, were getting up an expedition tor the recon^uest of their island and if the Turkish fleet is prevented from going to succour it, Candia, (almost equal to the Morea in importance) must, in a few months, be in tiie hands of its rightful masters.

Vou iiave doubtless heard of the brilliant affair at Salona where Hastings entirety destroyed neveu Turkish vessels and obtained complete masteryof the Gulph of Corinth.

Thus you will see, that though the originally small national resources of Greece have been exhausted by a seven years struggle with their powerful enemy, though the country has been wasted, the crops destroyed, and the villages burned, and, what is worse, broils and civil wars almost continually kept up by the guilty intrigues of her sellish andavaricious chiefs, still the spirit of the people, though bruised, is not broken and let us hope that Heaven has in store blessing for a nation bo long and severely tried.

I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, your obedient servant, /.

Wednesday, FEURUARY 20, 1828.

II. of REPRESENTST1 FES.

pn motion of Mr. J3LaKE, it was Resolved, That the Committee on Roads and Canals be instructed to inquire into the expediency of making an appropriation to deepen and improve the channel of the River Wabash, ut tiie Grand JRapUIs -below Vincennes.

In offering this resolution, Mr. BLAKE said, that he deemed it proper, before the question was taken, to trespass on the House for a moment, by submitting some remarks in relation to it 1 am induced to do this, he said, not for the purpose of promoting the passage oi tbe resolution and the reference of the subject to the'Committee, for, in this particular, I trust to the courtesy and practice of the House but to impress on the minds ot that committee, if any of its members should be within the hearing of my voice, that I am altogetlrer serious in the application 1 have made, and that the subject is well entitled to a portion of their time and consideration. Sir, the Grand Rapids of the Wabash are about twenty miles below Vincennes. and about a hundred from the mouth of the river and at this point, the river is the boundary between the two Governments of Indiana and Illinois. Below the Rapids, the navigation is generally good, and above tfeem, it is equally good for the dis tance of»,early three hundred miles. The contiguous soil through this whole extent of navigation, with but little exception, belongs mutually to the Federal Government and the citizen, and in fertility and productive', ness, is probably not exceeded by uny on the Globe. Now, Sir, it not urifrequently happens, that steam boats and crafts destined for Vincennes and other places of importance, ascend the river as far as tnis point, and cannot proceed 'farther and what is worse, infinitely worse, tbe freighted boat of the enterprising citizen is often stopped on its way to a Southern market and he is compelled to remain there [lining away un-

i,i?Jbdi.*...

A'-":-

ter, not only losing the benefit of a prompt arrival at i\is place of destination, but, in the mean time, his car TO of corn arid pork is spoiling, and his all rapidly disappearing.

These obstructions, as it is said, by gentlemen who have been employed for the express purpose of ascertaining, cau be aasily removed, so as to create a good and sufficient chan

by a comparatively trifling expense They are occasioned by rocks of a soft, shelly substance, extcndinr across, & for a short distance along the river, and the sum of three or four thousand dollars, judiciously expended, it is believed, would enable us to effect this very desirable object. And, sir, permit me to ask, why should the treasure of the nation be expended in the improvement of the Ohio, and the Mississippi, when ihesejimportant tributaries are neglected, and permitted to remain in their natural condition? Our western waters, in their impetuous career to salute the king of rivers, should be made to take with them the rich presents of the products of the interior.

Sir, if there is any portion of the West entitled to the special attention and guardianship of Congress, the particular district of country I speak of, may safely present its claims in comparison. From the time that the gallant General Clarke first came to their succor, and planted his standard upon the battlements of Vincennes, from that time down to the present, its citizens, and highly respectable and hardy yeomanry in the neighborhood, have sustained one uuilorm character, for fidelity and zeal, and a sensitive regard for the honor of the nation They have stood the brunt of wars, both against a civilized and a savage foe. Their ancient town has been for many years the rallying point of emigrants to the West and it may justly be considered as the material source Jrom which has spread a -population which now covers the region of the Wabash^ Rut, Sii\ I believe I am indebted to the indulgence of the Chair, that I am, in some degree, trespassing on your rules, by detaining the House on a mere question of reference. It is a subject, about which I entertain fixed and lively feelings, and a'nout which, I have before exerted myself, in my humble way, when acting on another theatre of public life. At this me, 1 sfyall, forbear lurtuer remarks. ...

From tl£ National Journal. Saturday. February l'J In the Seuute, y^stoi-dav, the Bill for the organization of a Militia System was taken up, and after some discussion, laid on the tabLe. The Senate spent a short time in the consideration of executive business.

Jn the House of Representatives, Mr Fiuyd introduced a resolution referring it to the Committee on Rules, to enquire into the expediency of adopting some mode of making Stenographers responsible for their reports. The resolution was laid on the table after a very short discussion, by a vote ui'89t« SO. The House then went into a Committee of the Whole-on the state of the Union. The Bill making appropriations for Internal Improvements, and the Bill making appropriations for Fortifications, were severally taken up, and after some amendments, on motion of tbe -Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, were laid aside. —The Bill making appropriations for the Military Service was taken up,- but after some discussion the Committee rose and reported the two first bills and amendments, and reported progress on the other.

The discussion, when the Committee rose, was upon the allowance for the Board of Visitors to West Point The proposition to fill the blank with the sum of 1500 was agreed to and the Committee, when the motion to rise prevailed, were considering a motion of 31r Ingham to amend that clause introducing a provision that the sum appropriated should be ap-. plied to the expenses of *.he Board while at West Point. The effect of this amendment is to cut off the* allowance for travelling expense®.
