I have the pleasure of sending you through mr Sheldon, three greek volumes and two letter[s.] The greeks have lately gained some advantages, and anti[c]ipating freedom are now preparing a constitution, or form of government adapted to their situation. The more enlightened Spaniards, actuated by the same feelings, still manifest a vigorous resistance: but the lower class, it is said, sink gradually under the influence of the Priesthood. The active interference of the different cabinets of Europe in relation to this struggle, is now manifest, and it is difficult to foresee the result. It seems probable, however, that France will accept some arrangement, through the mediation of England. The experiment has given confidence in the fidelity of the french Soldier, and though the resources of this Country are prodigious, the expences of a prolonged war, or even of an army of occupation would soon be severely felt.

Count Lacepede, mr. Thouin and other members of the Institute always enquire concerning your health.
