perous. Missolonghl is no longer besieged. The Greeks continue to blockade the Turkish coast, and have taken a great number of vessels belonging to their enemies. Caloetrini is besieging Patras. Propositions have been made by the Turkish garrisons, at Coran and Modon to surrender, which the Greeks had rejected. The Greeks were preparing to attack the Turkish forts at Lepanto. Lord Strangeford's influence with the Turkish Divan appears to increase, and he has daily intercourse with him, and is supposed to be willing to listen to amicable overtures. f In addition to this, vc understand-a passenger in the Marccllus, who left Gihralter on the 20th ult. states, that intelligence reached that place the day before, of important sue ccs of the Greeks. A large ship had arrived at Constantinople, from Arabia, having doubled the (.'ape of Good Hope, in a remarkable short time.

We think proper to state, for the information of persons who receive Military Pensions from the United States, that no act has yet passed Congress, appropriating hinds for the. payment of those pensions on the 4th March next, and the probability is, that the appropriation will riot be made in time to m et the semiannual payments doe on that clay. It is, therefore, advisahie that those concerned should delay their applications until notice shall be given of the appiopiiution having been made Xat. 1st.

Small Pox is extensively spreading from the city of Philadelphia over the sin rounding country Sevetai cases have occurred in West Gosh en, some of which have already terminated fatally.

Mitchell of Philadelphia, one of the physiei ns of the Alms House a.d Small Pox Hospital, has published a statement, founded on his observation and that of Dr. John Bt ll, which exhibits vey strongly the value of vacination, as a pro tcction against the fatal i fleets of this disease, although i shows at the same time that it do s notcmii ely pt event the recurrence of the disease. The statement embraces 143 cases of small pox or virioloid, which have lately occurred at Philadelphia. Of these. 48 occurred in persons who had previously had the vaccine disease, and no one died. Eight casrs occurred in persons who had previously had tlie small pox, and of this number 4 died The other 93 cases occurred in persons who had previously had mother disease, and of these 12 died and 41 recovered.

J G. READ. 41 The Reformer." THE design of this work is to expose the clerical schemes and pompous undertakings of the present day, under pietence of protm ling i eligion, and to sl o w that they are irreconcilable with the spi lit a-d principles of the gospel. '1 he great missionary operations which commenced a few years since, and the numerous Theological Seminaries v rated, i which arc still erecting iiuvrv p-.jt of our country, have U iv.icl! ' : -: '!.vion of an order of men to a In.': , o : v. arranted by the New Tistar 'I iieir rumber and influence are lLuielv c::tcnding throughout all parts of tf:e comrr.unitv, and threaten the destruction of tur civil and religious libeit cs By means, either direct or indirect, they arc steadily advancing their cause, and their ascendancy over the minds of the people; and at no distant period, should their influence continue to increase, scarcely un indiido?d will be found willing to incur the hazard of opposing anv of their schemes. The pen 'Hons eflYcts of clerical domination in this country, may be inferred from the historv cf other countries, and i ought early to be guarded against. Tl eic ' are already few who have sufficient firmnei to present these men before the pub- ; lie in their true colors, and hence tinprospect of their success, and our dncr t is greatly increased.
