'Ve have received several numbers of a Romaic jour- nal, publishedl at Missolonghi, under the title of the Grecl, Chronicle. The last of the series exten(ds only to the 9th of February, and therefore supplies us with little informnation on the state of Greece whiclh had not pre- viously reached us through other channels. The very ap- pearance, however, of a newspaper in such a quarter, at such a time, and in such a language, is not without its in- terest,-recording, as it does, the noble exploits of a people recovering their inidependence after ages of oppression,- addressed to the des=endants of those whose journal- ists were THUCYDIDnEs and XENOPHoN,-and comnposed in a dialect wlhich, withl some variations in grammar and con- structioR, was spoken by HoisaER and PLATO. The contents of the two last numbers, likewise, are somewhat curious. Tbat of the 6th of February gives us an eloquent address of the Government of the three islands,Hydra, 16pezzia, and Ipsara, to all the Greeks. " WVe know well," say thcse brave men, " that when a Christian is called to fight for his " faith-when a patriot struggles for nis country, every " thing else is regarded as insignificant." They then call to mind, that in the last three years they have sacrificed their property-exposed their lives-and( shed their bloodl for the general freedom, without meeting with adequate support from the rest of the nation. Tliis address is so curious, that we regret our limits will not allow us to give it entire. With some discussions by the editor on a criminal code, and an account of the suddlen illness and rapid recovery of Lord BYRoN, this number concludes. The number of the 9th of February contains an extract from the speech of the American PRESIDENT, received by Galignani's Messenger, where the part wlhich refers to the Greek contest and cause is particularly pointed out to the sympathy and gratitude of the Greek patriots. This paper concludes with an account of the proceedings of a meeting at Cambridge, to receive subscriptions in favour of the Greeks.
