Hon. Col. Leicester Stanhope to John Bowring esq.Anenod 11 Novr. 1823
being all powerful, have laid their hands on a portion
of this property and cushioned themselves. Collocoponi
is said to be worth a million of dollars, and Ulysses
400,000 dollars, fe.
Lord Byron has employed the Captain nassia
fotomero, a brave old soldier, who has served under
Russia, France and England; and placed under him
600 men, whom he has sent to Messolunga. Each
man is to receive three leus per month. I have
made satisfactory arrangements to secure the cor—respondence,
and also for procuring from the German
and Swiss committees, the foreign newspapers.
The pacha of Egypt is said to hate and dread the
porte. He is no ways hostile to the Greeks. To the refugees
from Cyprus he afforded an asylum, and those Greeks
who feel disposed, were allowed to proceed, armed, to their country.
Your kind letter to me of the 21st. Octr. last and
one annexed to Mr Bentham's of the same date, have
come safe to hand. I rejoice to learn that the Spanish
firelocks to the Greek committed, and that. the expedition
would be ready to sail on the 25th ultim. The intel—igent
mechanic and agriculturalist whom you men
tion is going to settle in Greece, will be a most useful
character there. He may command my services. The
purchasing of land is Greece, must prove an excel
lent speculation, and highly conductive to the improve—ment
of agriculture and civilisation in the quarter.
I wish you would send out, and that the government
would receive a number of these colonies. They
could not raise money in a more advantageous
manner. By this means, they would reap and sow
wealth at the same time. The surgeon and the
will be highly acceptable. Orders shall be immediately
sent to genortati for the dispatch of the anne from
confu to her final destination. The British consult
here has been most kind to me. He has a promise to
be sent with the first dispatches that shall arrive
from Confu. He will go and be back in Aneona
in less than a month, so pray look out for him, and
take advantage of his autumn.
