large ones. They ohd on the contrary possess more
of each because the Govt ohd he on the spot & take the
best means to have an efficient head or president.
They talk of the prosperity of small republics & the de—cline
of large ones, they forget to cite the corruptible, the
efficacy, the disorder & the conclusions which large
Mouarelies are subjected, & the stability & grandeur
of America.— The metropolitan thinks that Corenth
must soon fall, because the supplies have been cut off
Patras cannot hold out many days against a regular
siege, because it is commanded, has no & is
crowded with people. The population of this fortress wd—
secure the fall of Lepauts & the command of the gulsass it
we prevent the Turks from effecting a landing in the Morea.
There is a report that Mitilive has revolted. This would be an
event of vast importance. The island has a warlike population
of 300,000 Greeks & about 30,000 Turks. There are in it two
strong fortresses. The capture of Mitilive will enable the Greeks
to abduct the mouth of the Dardanelles & might lead to the
capture of the Sea.
There is a manufacture of coarse gunpowder in
the More which Perry will perhaps be able to im—prove.
There is however at present an absolute want
of powder in that quarter. It would I think be
a good speculation to send a cargo of it out, from
the absolute necessity of its being purchased, with
money, goods, or promises.
