RUSSIAN DOCUMENT.

The following Document, if trite, is of con-
siderable importance. It was transmitted to
Paris from Bremen by a private individual,
who states that it is “an qflicial extract from
the memorial ofthecabinetofSt.Petersburgh,
on the Pacification of Greece, sent abroad‘
-during the present year,,18Q4.” The writer
also speaks of furnishing his correspond‘ent at
Paris with copies ofthe answer of,Great Brit-
ain and'."Austria to this document. For our
own part we have no confidence in this paper,
believing it to be an entire forgery. but as there
appears to be some difference of opinion on
the subject among the N. Y. editors, we give
it as we find it, leaving our readers to place all
the dependence upon it which they think it
deserves.

_ _ Extract from the Memorial, &c.

The Emperor, after the efforts made in the
South of Europe, to crush tlievgerrns of dis-
cord that had triade suclia‘ dangerous pro-
gress, thinks the period arrived, for him to at.-
tend to the means of pacifying the Levant.-
It becomes necessary to drawto aclose the
troubles ofGreece ; they are ofa highly injii-
rious influence on the cornmerce of Russia in
the Levant, by paralyzing the industry of ina-
ny provinces of the Russian Empire. The
Emperor has undergone immense sacrifices,
through his love"of peace, and his desire of
consolidating the ties by which he is bound
to his allies. Through the able management
of Lord Strangford, however, the Porte has
been brought to consent to satisfy the just
claims of Russia. Upon which the Emperor
has despatched the State Counsellor I‘«Iiutzia-
ky, to Constantinople. In not sending an
ambassador to Czernowitz, as announced, he

E1.

-is actuated by considerations of the deepest

importance. The Turks could not fail to
consider the presence of an ambassador as a
decisive triumph over the Greeks; and yet,
should the struggle continue, what would be
the result? In every case of success on the
part of the Greeks, the Russian Ambassador

.would certainly become an object of siispi-

cion to the Divan; he-would be supposed to
hold communication with its revolted subjects,
and his situation would be precisely that of
Baron de lngonoff, at the time ofthe crimin-
al enterprise of the prince Ypislaiiti. The
‘protestations of this ambassador were disre-
garded, and he wasobliged to quit Cotistaiiti-
nople. Should the Turks hp victorious, how
could the Russian ambassador remain to wit-
ness the horrid excesses and cruelties, in
which that barbarous nation would of course
indulge? His presence woulzl sanction a ca-
lumnious interpretation of the sentiments of
the Emperor, and occasion an opinion that it
was his intention to replace the Greeks under
the yoke of barbarian despotism, and rank
Maliometans with Christians.

On the other hand, it is essential that those
1’ow'ei's who have succeeded in repressing
revolutionantl anarchy in the two peninstilas,
should notfiurhtlge cause ofthcGreeks strength-
ened by the,fia<:,ti,i.i‘ssion of the revolutionists of
the countries" fv;_fi‘7ére order has been i'e-estab-
lislied. It isionly through the prompt co-op-

eration of the allies that it will be possible to

prevent a still longer sticccssion of evils, and
stop the effusion of blood, already sufficiently

ted in three campaigns. In all probability,
a tit cannot bring more efficient or deci-
sive results. The Porte, stimulated by the
recollection of ancient achievrnents, obstin-
ately refused to he satisfied with less than ab-
solute sovereignty ; the Greeks, iuured by 3
years of resistance and success, are intent on
absolute independence. The solution of the
problem must lie between these two extremes.
The Russian Cabinet proposes the following
terms ofpacificatioii, as a just mean between
exaggerated and opposing pretensions, and
which will insure to the Greeks guarantees
now necessary: to the Turks tiseful and posi-
tive advantages in place of a sovereignty lia-
ble to disafl'ection and resistance.

It is calculated, that, in accordance with
examples drawn from usages of Tiirltey her-
self, three principalities may be established
in the Continent of Greece. The 1st to be
composed of Thessaly, Boetia and Attica. or
Eastern Greece. The ad, of theancient Ve-
nitian border on the Adriatic, (that portion
excepted which belongs to Austria,) of Epirus
and Acarriania, or Western Greece. The Sad,
ofthe Morca, to which might be added Can-
dia, or Southern Greece. The Isles to be
subjected to municipal regulations, and gov-
erned nearly as they have been heretofore.

In 1465, the Turks, having conquered Wal-

.lachia, established therein princes acknowl-

edging the Divan as their head,with the priv-

. ilege, however, of not receiving Ottoman

troops. In 1536, Soliman I. after conquering
Moldavia, granted it the same privileges.-—
Latterly, these privileges were modified, ex-
tended, and placed under the safe-guard of
Russia. In 1774, Mustapha III. wished to
erect the Morea into a principality; unfortu-
nately he died the same year, and the design
was abandoned. It will be objected, perhaps,
that the Porte has always been decidedly a-
verse to foreign intervention in the course of
the last negotiations. The annals of interior
times, however, f'urnish examples ofiforeign
intervention ailznitted by the Divan. In 1764,
at the peace ofKainardgi ;in 1779, and 1802
also, the intervention of Russia and Prussia
was allowed.

It is the belief of Russia, thatthe Greeks
cannot reasonably carry their hopes any far-

jthcr. They would enjoy a perfect unrestrain-

ed frecdoui oftrade, and have their owti flag.
The Greek patriarch, who should continue to
reside at Constantinople, would be, in a inali-
ner, a representative ofthe Grecian nation.-
The Turks should.still garrison some fortres-
ses; with a line drawn, however, beyond which
they might not pass. There would be besides
neither Pacha nor Governor, btit each of the
principalities would pay tribute proportioned
to its wealth and extent. The regulations
relative to the internal organization, would
form the object of asecond negotiation be-
tween the contracting powers. The Porte
would find a certain advantage in a negotia-
tion. A fourth campaign will, in all proba-
bility, be as little favorable to Turkey as the
preceding - while the proposed arrangement
will insure to her peace and tranquility, and
regular revenues from the tribute ofthe seve-
ral principalities. Her repose has been ever

~-disturoed by revolts ainotig the pachas, who

besidesappropriated to their own use the treas-
ure they restcd from the people. Of these
revolts and iusttrrections of ambitious or ra-
pacious paclias, the adoption of this measure-
would relieve her. Mahomet II. allowed the

r

‘ isles so be simply tributary. This same model

of accommodatiori, induced betiveep the Por-
to and Greece, would give the allied powers
the advantage of securing the enfranchise-
ment ‘of Greece, without deviating from the
principles that form the basis oftheir policy,
and tvithout apparently wishing to favor pros-
pects of absolute independence.

Russia,therefore, proposes, 1st, To approve
of the suggestions expressed in this memorial;
Ed, To_ agree that analagous instructions be
addressed to the Ambassadors and Allied
Ministers at Constantinople; 36, To leave to
those Ministers all necessary latitude ;4th,To
agree that all the parts of this plan for pacifi-
cation, proposed by the alliance he communi-
cated by them successively; 5th, .Toinform
the Ministers, that in pursuading the Porte to
adopt the principle of an intervention or me-
diation, they will conform to the views ofthe
Allies ; and 6th,Thatit is necessary to impress
upon the Porte, that the erection of three
principalities. would diminish the collective
strength of Greece, and that as the Porte
would have the nomination of the hospodars,
princes, or other rulers, it would by that. 58-
cure the interest of the most important fami-
lies among the Greeks.

Tm: GREEKS.—-Tile following is an ex-
tract ofa letter from an American gentleman
in Smyrna to his friend in Philadelphia. It
is dated April 24th, 1824.

“I have not failed to view with great inter-
est the exertion which is making in the Unit-
ed States in favor of the Greeks. The first
thing that struck me was that it appeared got
up, and the next that we should expose at
least 200,000 dollars of amount ofproperty
to getclcar of perhaps 20,000 dollars more,
and which would reflect honor upon neither
our generosity nor prudence. The Greeks
will be much disappointed in the amount if
under a million. If the Turks please, they
can any day take 200,000 dollars, and then
our government must either abandon the in-
terest oftheir citizens or seek redress from
the 'I'urks,and they become a party in the war.

“I do not expect either the Turks or the
Greeks will take any notice ofthe money you
-send or the speeches made on the occasion.

“ In my opinion, the Turks are not likely
to redtice the Greeks to their former situation
unassisted by others. but I never expect to see
the Greeks an independent nation. It is intich
more probable I shall live to see them Riis-
sian subjects and assisting to destroy the lib-
erties of others.”-—Phil. Gaz.

Another letter says :—‘ Theindepcndence
of the Greeks, so far as the question rests bo-
tween them and the Turks, will, most proba-
bly, be effected. VVhether it does remain
with them is, perhaps, to be doubted. The
Rusirms have long looketl on themselves as
the successors of the Turkish empire i'n Eu-
rope. Ifso, tliev would regret to lose so val-
uable a part as the Greek population, which
contains 15.000 good seamen. Thepredilec-
tion ofthc Greeksin favor ofthe Russians is
eviilent to every one, any way acqttainted
with them ; and to such persons,-the reasons
are obvious :—Russia, 'ivrr'i;possessiott of Turk-
cy in Europe. with 15.000 good seamen, and

materials to fortn a vast number more, would

become more formidable to the liberties ofthe
world than the Turks ever were. Unfortu-
nately, ifshe so pleases, she so can be.”

COLOMBIA.——\Ve have been favoured,
(says the Aurora,) with the perusal of a file of
Bogota papers to the 6th June, inclusive.-
The Governtnent was wide awake to the in-
tention ofthe Holy Alliance, and had adopt-
ed the most energetic measures to oppose any
invasion that might be attempted. The fol-
lowing bill passed both Houses of Congress,
and received the Vice President’s sanction
on the 6th May. The Senate and House of
Representatives of Colombia, considering

lst. That peace has not yet crowned the
efforts of otir arms,not\vithstanding they have
driven the enemy frotn the whole territory of
the Republic. 2d. That the re-establishment
ofan absolute government in Spain leaves its
no hope to expect its acknowledgement ofthe
independence of these countries and her col-
otiies. 3d. Tliat the principles held out by
the European cabinets united under the name
ofthe Holy Alliance, ought to rekindle the
zeal and patriotism of the free nations ofthe
new world, as the basis on which their inde-
pendence, institutions and governments are
formed, are by them proscribed. 4th. In
short, that the Republic ofColurnbia ought to
exhibit herselfto the whole world the friend
of peace, but prepared for war, entrusting her
safety to the arms ofher citizens as her most
zealous defenders. Decree.—That the Exe-
cutive Power shall raise jiffy thousand men,
exclusive ofthe troops in actual service, di-
minishing the said number as circumstances
may reqiure.

This number oftroops makes about 2 per
cent. on the whole population of Columbia.

The latest accounts from Peru are to the
end of March, at which time the Liberator
Bolivar, was concentrating a strong forcein
Trujillo: three thousand troops had ar. from
Panama and Guayaqtiil, and the Colombian
Congress had decreed an additional reinforce-
ment of 9000 men, which was in preparation.
Peru appears to have been the victim ofam-
bition and perfidy. The President, Torre
Tagle, gave tip the capital to the Spaniards,
and passed over to them with the greater part
ofthe public officers, but thanks to the con-'
summate experience of Bolivar, who extrica-
ted the Coluinbian army from the horrible
treachery.’ Bolivar was at Trujil,lo,exerci’sing
the authority of Dictator conferred on him by
the Peruvian Congress ; we insert his procla-
mation on accepting that appointment, which
corresponds with the noble and exalted senti-
ments which have always characterized the
Washington of South. flmerica.

" Pertivians! The disasters of the army
and the conflictofparricidal parties have se-
duced Peru to the lamentable state ofoccur-
ring to tlte tyrannical power of a dictator, to
save her from rtiin. Congress has conferred
on me this odious authority. and were
I to refuse it I should be a traitor to Co-
lorribia and Peru, so closely united by the
bonds ofjustice, liberty, and national interest.
I should have preferred never to have couie to
Peru: and I would likewise have preferyeil
the loss ofthis country to the horrible title of
Dictator: but your fate compromised that of
Columbia, 8.’. it was impossible for me to hesi-
tate. Peruviansl your chiefs, your inter-
nal enernies have calumniated Columbia, be:
brave soldiers, and nrvself. They say wt

wish to usurp your right, your territory, and

I

your independence. I declare to you in the
name of Colombia, and bygthe honour_of the
liberating army; that my authority will not
exceed the time absolutely indispensable for
our preparations for victory ; ‘the moment the
army marches from the provinces _it now oc-
cupies, you shallhe governed constitutionally
by your laws, and by your magistrates.

“ Peruvians l Let the field of battle, bear
witness to the valor ofour soldiers, and to the
triumph of our Liberty ; on that field I will
dash from my hand the palm of dictatorship,
and from thenccl will return to Columbia,
with my brother soldier, without carrying a
grain of Sand frotn Peru, leaving your LIB-
ERTY. ‘

Maranha1'n.—-Capt. Tredwell, at Salem,re-
ports, that on the 4th ofJiitie, a’ kind of rev-
olution was effected at Maranham by the na-
tives, who seem entirely opposed to the exist-
ing government and theEuropeanPortuguese.
A serious attack was made, upon the Provis-
ional Junto for,the Adtninistration ofthe Gov-
ernment; seven mcn were killed in the af-
fray, and several wounded. Among the kill-
ed was a brother of the Governor oftlte Pro-
vitice, who, Capt. ’l‘redwell understood, fled
_or was immediately sent to Rio.

The disturbances subsided by the partial
success of the revolutionists ; and when capt.
T. left, whichiwas the 11th of June, affairs
were in a more tranquil state. Similar dis-
turbances had taken place at Ceara, and oili-
er provinces. In short, Capt. '1‘. describes
the whole North Coast of Brazil to be in a
disquieted state. '

The Congress of Mexico has issued a De-
cree declaring that Don Augustin de Iturbide

sltal! be declared a traitor from the moment‘

he may appear iii any part of the Mexican
Republic. All persons favouring lns return,
are also to be declared traitors.

THE AFRICAN COLONY.
Extract ofa letter from Dr. E. Ayers, former

Agent of the U. S. gov’t. and-of the Am.

Col. Soc. in Africa, to Lt. R. F. Stockton,

dated ‘ New-York, July 9, 189.4.

Dear Sir~—The Ant. Col. Society has form-
ed a constitution and laws for the government
ofthe Colony, and every emigrant is coni-
pelled to subscribe his name to them, and to
take an oath that he will support and abide
by them. The Society transport, at its own
charge, such as are unable to pay their pas-
sage, aiid maintain them there for one year or
until they are able to procure subsistence for
themselves. It also furnishes to such as can-
not pay for them, nails, hinges, locks and oth-
er articles for building, and trusts them until
they are able to pay. Each male emigrant
residing in the colony receives one town lot,
five rods by eight in extent, and a plantation
containing five acres,situated as near the town
as possible. If he has a wife he receives two
acres in addition, and one acre for each child,
provided no one receives more than ten acres
in all. He is bound to build a good and sub-
stantial house, and to cultivate at least two
acres within two years, and ifhe complies with
these teruis, he is entitled to a deed ofhis land.

There is in the tract purchased, and which
may yet be purchased, as far as the country
has yet been explored, as fertile a soil for the
cultivation ofsugar cane and rice as any this
globe can boast. This tract ‘embraces mil-
lions ofacres, and will hereafter be sold out
to emigrants at a modctate price like our own
back lands, and the proceeds be applied to
the objects of the Society.

Africa, it is said, contains 50,000,000 ofin-
habitants. All that portion ofthis population
which inhabit the vast region south of the
Great Desert, have for many ages been in the
habit of acquiring what to them has become
the necessaries of life, by the sale of their
own species. To obtain these slaves, wars
have been waged, tnurders and robberies com-
mitted, while all iinprovement of their rich
and fertile soil has been neglected. No other
mode of procuring the necessaries oflife than
by the sale of slaves, has ever been sought for.
For a few years past the slave trade has been
much interrupted, and in some places entire-
ly stopped. This has rendered the supplies
on the whole, precarious and uncertain; they
are liable to be interrupted for many months
while the British fleet is there. From these
and rriany other causes, the cry ofliard times
is, perhaps not less often vociferated in that
than in more civilizctl cotmtries. All feel the
presstire, and many are anxiously looking for-
ward for some more regular and certain mode
of procuring the necessaries oflife. At a mod-
erate computation, there are not less than ten
million of people on that continent,wliose en-
ergies may be directed into any channel that
may be proposed to them. Give a. good price
for slaves, and they will wage wars, plunder
and kidnap one. another to supply the de-
mand. Offer them tobacco, ayard ofrnuslin,
a string of beads, shoes, hats, ltatchets,&.c. and
they will bring you gold dust, ivory,gtims and
hides ; or if you will create a demand for cot-
ton, indigo and other agricultural productions,
they will cheerfully turn their attention to the
cultivation of those articles. In Freetown
the natives have been taught to be house-car-
penters, blacksmiths, and ship builders, and
they are now engaged in building a stone
church, that would be gazed at with astonish-
ment in the city of New-York.—Iu Rcgent’s-
Town, that boast of Africa, I have myself
witnessed young men making rapid progress
in the Latin and Greek languages, who, six
years before, were wild and naked savages
roaming in the wilderness.

Such is Africa, and such the conditionof
its inhabitants. They are waiting and long-
ing for employment. Laboring tnen may be
employed to any extent at the lowest rates.—-
A laborer will workfor a month for 4 pounds
of tobacco, or for 8 yards of the cheapest cali-
co or India mtisliit, or for two pair of shoes,
or for Qpints of gun powder, or for 48 gun
fliiits. For a hat he will work 2 months. The
sale of rtiin is forbidden in the Colony, but
oilier articles are given for labor at much the
same rate ; and a native‘ laborer may be kept
for the astonishingly small sum of one fourth
of a ccutper day, or lessthau one dollar a
year. A tons of camwood may be purchased
for IE0 pounds of tobacco, amilch cow for
60 pottuds, an ox for 54 pounds. a goat for 5
pounds, and a sheep for 4 pounds.

[Mr. A here states that the last company of
105 persons who were sent to the Colony,
were transported thither for $26 each, and
.rlien.the colonists begin to cttltivate the coun-
try and open a trade with the-natives, a rich

return car_go..will reduce the expense of trans-
P0|'t31l°“_ if) 315. He also combats the erro-
neous opinion entertained by some respecting
the insalubity of the climate, and says that of

the whole nuiriber of settlers only 925 have di- - _,, .-
’5:i'.On Tuesday last the Book_s of the Fairfield

ed, and only 14 oftliese by fevers. He then
adds :]-—Thus far the American Colonization
Society has succeeded beyond their most san-
guine expcctations. They have procured a
territory ; they have planted a colony. It ex-
ists; it is flourishing; it is happy. It has suf-
ficient fortifications forits defence. It is sup-
plied with arms and ainintinition, and has
hands and hearts, able and willing to defend
it against all the powers that can be arrayed
against it in that country. '
[Mr. Ayres and the Rev. Mr. Boyd, of
Philadelphia, are now on an excursion tliro’
the northern states, making collections and
forming auxiliary societies. If funds can be
raised an expedition is to be sent out in the
fall, accompanied with an agent, physician,
missionary, teacher, carpenters, 8Lc.]

The barren sandsqf -f1frt'ca.-—Let those who
see nothing in Africa but barren deserts and
scorching sands, read the following account
ofthe rapid growth ofthe grape in the colony
of Sierra Leone. It is copied from a paper
published at Freetown.-—.N'. Y. Obs.

“ A curious instance of rapid vegetation
may now be seen on the premises of Messrs.
Z. Macauley 8z.Babington, in Water street.-
Some vine cuttings were planted there on
Monday, the 6th inst. About the fourth day
afterwards they began to sprout, and on ‘Ved-
nesday the. 22d, (sixteen days after they were
planted).two bunches of grapes were observed

on one sprout, and one bunch on another.—-

There are this day (Saturday 25th) 7 bunches
to be seen, and the sprouts on which they are
produced have grown to the length of6 incli-
es in the time.”

New ORLEANS, June 29.

High Watcr.—Capt. Leech, of the steam
boat Eagle, arrived last night, in 6 days from
St. Louis, reports the waters from the upper
country to be rapidly on the rise. It was sta-
ted at St. Louis the day before he left there,
that the Missouri, above itsjitnction with the
Mississippi, was four feet higher than it was
before known by the oldest residents—'the
Mississippi at St. Louis was nine inches liigh-
er than it was at its highest stages" last year,
and rapidly swelling, having riseti 3 inches
during the night previous to the departure of
the Eagle. Rain had fallen continually for
eight or ten days, _and had not abated when
Capt. Leech left there--a great portion of
the state oflllinois was reported to be inun-
dated. The Ohio river was also rapidly on
the rise. The rise ofthe Mississippi may be
expected herein a few days,it having reached
Natchez when the Eagle passed that place.

The rise ofthe river at this-season augnrs
well for the health ofour city, as we under-
stand that it has always been more healthy at
those seasons when the waters were high.

Jlnntomrical Phcnomena.——The body of a
gentleman, who died in Louisville, Kentucky,
a few days since, was opened by some mem-
bers ofthe faculty, for inspection ; from which
the following remarkable visceral transposi-
tion was discovered : The heart was found in
the right cavity ofthe breast, with the situa-
tion of its auricles aiitl ventricles reversed,
and the aorta, or great artery, arching towards
the right instead ofthe left side, descending
the spine in the usual course ofthe vena cava,
which last were situated where the aorta should
have been. The great lobe ofthe liver occu-
pied the hypchondriac region, with the small
lobe extending a little to the right. The spleen
was found in the right side, where the liver
should have been situated. The stomach was
reversed with regard to its position, having
the larger curvature on the right, the small
curvature and the pyloric orifice on the left.
The intestines were likewise changed in their
order of arrangement, the deodamtis coin-
mencing and lying principally on the left
side, and the segmoid flexture ofthe colon on
the right. This examination was extended
far enough to satisfy those present that this
anomaly wasa liisus natura of the remotest
embryotic origin, and could not possibly have
resulted from disease, at any period ofhislife.
This gentleman died in his 30th year, and is
said to have been remarkably healthy and
athletic until within two or three years past,
during which time he had suffered much from
disarrangeineiit of the liver and spleen, prob-
ably produced by bis rctnoval from a northern
to a southern climate, of which disease he ul-
timately died.—-Morn. Post.

TUESDAY, JULY 20, I824.

County Bank were opened in this town for the
purpose of receiving subscriptions to its Capt-
tal Stock ; and as an evidence of the confi-
denceavhich capitalists and ruen of business’
place in_the future prosperity of this Institu-
$10“: arising from its superior location, &.c.
It may be mentioned that although the capi-
tal stock is limited to $150,000, yet before the
Close 0‘ the day near £800,000 were subscri-
bed. The Directors of the Bank are to be
chosen on the 26th inst. and it is presutned
that business will be cornmeuccd as soon as
the_necessary ar_rangenients can be made.
lVotwithstandmg the labors of our corres-
pondents to prove that the banking system is
injurious tosociety, and a fearful engine of
destruction to the welfare ofindivtduals and
to otir republican institutions; and in spite of
the Opposition which has been manifested to-
wards this Bank frotn certain quarters, there
is good reason for believing that, if rightly
managed, it will be not only a source of profit
to the holders ofits stock, but a convenience
to the public, and advantageous to the town in
which it is located.
