HIS PORTRAIT.
Of the thousand portiaits which have
been p.ivtMi of Washington, all of tht-m
jiossess a resemblance, from tiie draw-
! inj^^ of a sign-post to the galleries of taste.
He was so unique, so unlike any one else,
his whole appearance so striking and
impressive, that it was almost impossi
ble to make a total failure, in forming a
likeness of him, “on whom every God
aj)pparcd to have set his seal, to give the
world assurance of a mau.”
While several original pictures and
sculptures are excellent likenesses of his
physiognomy, in various stages of life,

General Washington, in the prime of
life, stood six feel two inches, and meas

the grave. l>om t!u period of the Rev

W'e believe that we have gone through
the originals, and we hope with equal
candor and justice to all. W'e cotne
now to the beautiful statue which will
long “enchant” our Western “ world.”
If the drawings which we have seen
are correct, Canova too has mistaken ti.v
figure of the Pater Patrix. I’hc iiUisiri-
ous artist, seated in the Kternal City, a-
mid the classic remains of Roman gran
deur, has had in his mind’s eye the stout,
square figure of those heroes whose
tient endurance of hardships, whose
valor and discipline, rendered them mas
ters of the ancient world. Hut the great
American cannot bo r.iodt li' d, from coin
or statue, by the force of genius, or the
illustrations of art. I'ue graces ol his
person, like the virtues of iiis soul, owed
their perfections to the master hand, tlie
hand of Nature.
Those who • may pourtray the Chief,
in latti r life, should lay on the tints r-l-
age full lightly : for his was an age ul
action and of untiring labors in the can^e
of ^public utility, and for the good *i
mankind; and, althougl. lie had iiearl)
rt'ached the Scriptural duration ol mail,
time had so gently ushered him into the
“ vale of years,” as to have left its usual
infirmities behind, while his “lusty win
ter” had shed its “frosts so kindly” that
he scenu d rather as a full ripened autumn
—for no dissolution was there.

Swift, of Connecticut, was publishing

THE PUESEN'I' COXIHTION OF TIIK
OitKKKS.
Tothc Editor of the in'cw York Daily Advertiser,
\ short time lias elapsed since i left
the seat of vvarfitre in Greece, wlurel
ha.'l devoted some months to the servicc
of that, my adopted country. I)urin[;
the greater pjrt of the time that I spent
in (ireece, I remained in Col. I'abvier’s
army, where discipline was introduced,
and regulations observed, as long as
governmt nt had the means of [)ajing and
subsisting her troojis. The Greeks arc
very susceptible in the school of the sol
dier; the manual, company, and battalion
drill. They evinced an uncommon de
gree of pride in learning the profession of
arms ; but what troops are those, and
wheVe are they lo be found, thai will obey
orders, and march to the field of bdiile,
after su!)sistlng for months upon biead
alone, and when only a jirecarious dc-
|)cndence.can be jilaced even upon tuis.
I know that it has been said lhal the
(Jreek soldiery should forego the thoughts
of monthly pay. This would be plausi
ble, allowing them to receive a compe-
teni daily subsistence; the governiiwnt
allowance for a soldier’s daily siibsis-
tei/ce, is less than five cents. This pet
ty sum doe.s not enable them to j)uii b.ase
any atiimal food ; and it is ihetefore ne
cessary that they should be paid tiieir
monthly allowance, whicli is gl,3,)i per
fnonth.—All this, when obtained, goes
for the j)urclmse of animal food. At the
time of my leaving Najioli, (ireecemus-
lered forty tliovsund men for pay ; but
very few of these were on iluly ; the grea
test part being compelled to resort to
some calling aside from that oi’arrns, to
enable them to live. It is beyond the
most lively imagination to conceive the
present distress ol unhappy and sufler-
iilg Greece. Hefugees from Trijioliza,
Argos and Napoli are in great numbers,
in atid aljout Missolotighi. Discoii ^olatc
widows, and weeping orjjhan.s meel your
eye in every street and alley, soliciting
alms. 'I’housands who are excluded
from the city, dwell uiuler the •( iis'le at
Napoli in huls composed of reeds, which
but ill serve to screen llieir inmates froni
a burning sun. There exists a govern
ment, com[)osed of a president and two
conmiiitees.. The treasury is entirely
empty, and the war was considered at
a crisis at the time of niy leaving Nupoli.
'riie (ireeks have cherislied the Ibncl
hope lhal some chrisiian nalini would
render them assistance ; and without im
mediate and powerful aid, it is in vain
that their souls expand to meei approach
ing freedom.
