"FROM NILES WEEKLY REGISTER "J Greece and Turkiy. The accounts heretofore ticn of the successes ot the O Greeks arc generally count n cd It appears that the fragments of the Tuikish fleet have retired to the Dardanelles, where they arc B.ockadcd by the Greeks. It was supposed that the C-yp'ians would winter in Candia. T he Tu ks avc been driven out of l'hcsv,alv, and it was probable that they would socn bo ex pelled from Albania.. The Greeks, in an engagement with the Tuvksh fleet, on the 29th October, destroyed a I tipolitan fngntc, with 9ou persons on boaid, and one brig with 300. ligufir. The pacha has established some cotton manufactories in his cuurv. He sells Ids long s'.apic cotton at 8d sterling per lb. The short staple he keeps for his factories. Persia. Leilers from Shhas announce that, in the month of Ap'ii, 18-4. thrie had been an earthquake which lasted mX days and six nights, without inter .isi m, and which had swallowed up more limn half of that unfortunate city, 8c overt!,; cv the other as was the case at Aleppo. Nearly all the inhabitant fell victim to the catastrophe ; scarcely fixe hundred persons could save themselves. Other letters from Aborkoh announce that, the same shock, but less violem, had been fok there. Razroon, a city bet.ve. n Aho koh and St.iras, was swadowed up, with almost the who'e cf ihe inhabitants, m conscquencc of the same ca -tl. quake. All the mountains surroMtidir.g llazroo'i were, levelled by it, and iu tri.ee ot them now remains Great Hrirain is" retard Di-unban-ces still continue in In d It is said, that three regiments of loot a e on theiwav to that countrv , from V. ;and ; and it is also tcpot ted, tint M. Peel has written over for all proclamations, beaiingon the state of the country, which h been issued in Ireland for seven d vears hack From all this it is inferred, that great alarm, inspecting tha state of Ireland, prevails at the o.her side of the water; mat the local go err.mc.it theic is nat w'holly free from apprehensions, and that, in r, psequence, romevcty 44 string mrasm e" (the old lcmcdy for Irish discontents) will be immediately r sorted to.

Mr. Ewing, from the committee, to whom was referred. ;i much cf the G ivernoi iilcsage, rClates to the navigation ol 'the Y... -.oh river, begs ieaveto i eport; Th.at they have liarl the subject under con s'.deicti.m, and hcai ti:v resjwndinjz to the sentiments express. :d by liis Excellency, that it ia in.p'.bMo.c to estimate too highly the impoitauee of the object adudt d to,' tunc giv; n the subject al! the attention whicn a press ot business, and vari-oi.--legislative duMes would peunit. You comntittee cannot but view with deep and lively interest, the great and magnanimous fit.rts already made, ana h.eu arc still making throughout the Union, to accomplish a general and permanent system of internal improvements. The statesmen and philosophers of the uge. h.ae exerted their best faculties to establish tl:e. theorv and the practicability o! this sv.-,tem, con.balir.g in then pro gres-s, igncir.ncc and ptejudice, timidity ai d lit etllessness, in all anety otloims. i iey have moved fearless y or, demonsr.ating by succt-ful expetin em its impoitauee and advantages. Nor ait tnre patriotic etforts stationary, oi con-f:.K-d to any one section of the countiy. i he scintillations of tho-,e "might) geniu ses, like t!.e day spring fiom on liigh,' have visittd every liemisp ere, and the hf. ign intb.iencc will c ntir.u. to unfo.d a: d expand the beauties ot a G d of na tuie, a.nl the mystenes of political economy, until the Danube, like the Xilc, tlie MifMiti9ifiii like the Thame, and the U'abush like the Hudson, shall exhibit o. e gieat theatre of hplendid and sue cessful exertion. Ii is bdieed by your committee that no part cf the 'Jnion lias a greater inteicst at stake in the final success and accomplishment of this ss tern, than the state of Indiana; and that gi eater facilities foi, or prospective advantages h orn internal improvements, are no where to be found. The situation and extent of her teititory, the salubrity ol her climate, the feitility of her anil, the tasiety of her productions, and her i.apid iy inct casing popu.ation rnJ lesouices, tffvJid indications ol future gi c:tness i! a wise and judicious policy be j. in sued a pn'.icy which shall be calculated to th velope those nattnat i esout ccs in their I u. lest extent, to tacili'ate the means of transrortation, s-j ti-.at her vati us productions shall find a sate and steady market. The p u.lei.t adoption ol such a policy, it is in ml) belie vtd, will s-.on banish all the wants and embarrassmt r.ts which at this time pie vail too generally, and which have been maudy occasioned by its neglect. It w ill more advantageously benefit and exult tlu vital int-.ies's of the state, and of generations yet unborn, and will aflWd mine gen ryl and permanent relict trom the pressuic of the present times, and imrc ereoutagement to emigration, and cn'.crpt iz, iminovement and confidence, thun all the fictitious sh w of transitory enactments to affect contracts, cr law, can ever accomplish. Our str.te contains r.n atea of twen'y two millions of acres of aiahic land, arid with no greater population than at piescnt inhabits the reeky and mcuntaincus state of Connecticut, is capable of sustaining two millions and a half ot people; end that to with competitively moderate labour. In prcpoition to the facilities afTr.rdedto emigrants, and the facilities cf transportation of the sin plus produce of the country, will our population o ltd wealth increase; and those who reflect upon the situation of the country thirty years ago, and con.parc it with its present prospects, have much to hope and little to fear, unless our infant energies be forever paralyzed by a fluctuating and doubtful policy. Your committee know that there are many points of the state where a system 6f internal improvements and domestic industry, may be encouraged with a certain prospect cf sucress, and where manufacturing and ccnimcr-

' cial capital may be accumulated to an incalculable extent, if this system shall be ! encouraged; but in the opinion ot your ' committee, the improvement of the nav- ' igation of the river Wabash, is and object of the greatest importance, und thg , two White rivers emptying into the ai bash, should next to that stream be ap. i pteciated Uy glancing at tht map of the state no additional ehiciditic-i on that point can bethought necessary. : The expenditure to effect the purpose, , will circulate in our own state: and tht-m

are hut few obtiuctions in either oi ihe importai t streams which cannot be readily moved. The Wb ish heir g he first and great objeei, passing hundieds of : miics near to the centre ot the state, w ill occupy the chief attention at this time. r rom me m mm oi mat river, to the portage on ihe summit level of a conn mplatcd canal to connect its waters with Lake Erie, by a route near lort Wayne, is a t.istancc ot three hundred and thirty miles, taking ihe general course of tho river, disregarding the in: umerb e windings; and those windings taken into consideration, is net less than six bundled. Tins river passes through an imn.ti bo hotly ot rich land, and memdes with tho state- of Indiana, apart ot Ihmeis Admitting, lor a ti oment, that its bene frs were confined exclusively to a tract of country not exceeding torty n iles on car h side of the river and a ccntemp atcd canal, it will afford a convenient outlet tor the products of sixteen millions o! aura of the most fertile land in the Unir-n and that portion ol country nil, he capab c i f sustaining popti ation of at least a million and a bait of people. W hee tht canal shall b. opened to unite tie W aba-h and Manmec ot the Lakes, ihe line of navigable water will le immense; a d diis stream must i-ccessariiy become a great thoroughfate fo the imnitnse emigrate n and commerce ot the tastrn aid northern stales, and markets through the lakes, by way o! the Great Cana! ut N wYor k as being ,hc nearest possible r ute. to ourscves,as well as a pan ot the inhabitants ol Kentucky and to the states oi Illinois, Missouri, Tennessee.
