enough to employ them in other quarters; the Persians having commenced an attack on their territory upon one side, whilst the enterprising rebel Ali Pacha is secretly strengthening himself on another. Turkey, at all events, we should imagine, cannot hold its vast empire long undismembered. Its present head is a man of firmness; but as he has begun executing the Janizaries by the dozen, for refusing to adopt the European discipline, we should not be surprised if, ere long, they were in return to bring, in the shape of a bowstring, as severe a discipline upon him. His Vizir seems to be in disgrace for negociating with Ali on too advantageous terms, and strangle or be strangled may, according to the horrid notions and customs of the country, soon be his only choice. Whatever may be the ultimate fate of the Turkish empire (and that it is rapidly tottering to its fall, we firmly believe) every friend of humanity must wish for a speedy termination of the present contest with the Greeks, distinguished, as it has been on both sides, by ferocities, to which human nature, depraved as it is, we should have hoped, would never have been driven by any provocations, however great. Greeks, and Greek bishops, impaled alive-Turks, in revenge, roasted to death at slow fires, after their ears and noses had been cut off-women violated under every possible aggravation of indignity, and afterwards sold, with their children, as slaves:-these are atrocities to which every good man must wish to see an end.
The UNITED STATES OF AMERICA have at length obtained possession of the Floridas, long since ceded to them by treaty with the Spanish Government. The acquisition is important, and seems to be duly estimated by those who have made it. We rejoice to find this transatlantic Government giving additional proofs of the sincerity of its professions to abolish the Slave Trade abroad, by despatching to the African coast, a vessel of peculiarly light construction, drawing very little water, and therefore well calculated to pursue in-shore the unprincipled traffickers in human blood. Would not this however have been done, we cannot but ask, with a much better grace, after the American Legislature had abolished slavery at home? To a people who pride themselves so highly upon their Christianity, we need do no more than hint at the beam and the mote; though we fear that our hint will not very speedily be attended to.
