AN INTERESTING GREEK STORY. Wa last evening attended the lecture of Mr. Pcrdicaris, upon the moral and intellectual condi- tion of Greece, when we heard from him a highly interesting story oT his native country, which, as nearly aa we can reccollect, wa in su balance at follow : In some parts of Greece, there are tribes of Greek who, soon after the capture of Constantino, pie by Ihe Turks, fled lo the mountains for tba purpose of escaping the tyranny of their invaders, and who dnctuukula have avar siucev remained . there a a distiiai race. One of these tribe po. sesaing a considerable town, well fortified upon a high rock, not assailable by storm, having becoma an object of peculiar jealousy to the Pacha, within whose jurisdiction il waa situated, he resolved to attempt to dealrvy them by stratagem. IU eceoeeV mgly sent a complimentary inviialioa to the cotu niander of the trilte, to furnish a body of troop to marrb with him against eome common enemy. The request was complied with, but no aooner were these men, to the number of three hundred and upwards, within Ihe power of tba Turkish ar. my, than they were inhuiuanly-hutcbered, after which the Pacha moved towards the Rock in bopea of finding trie town iinprormed. Iir thii expecta tion, however, be wss disappointed. On reaching it base, he found thai the remaining men and all he women Twf re armed its defawca, and that it was impregnable even by hia superior numbers. The actual commander of the place, desirous of retaliating upon the Pacha for hia barbarous coo- durt, resorted also to stratagem. He cooiniunira teda wsoflertofne Pacha to betray the town- into his hands the Pacha, havina? aoma doubts of his good faith, asked him for a pledge, the other placed in hia hands al a h oat age, hi ana, a young lad, who wa immediately sent off to the palaca of the Pacha.- Oa the following day, the gates were to be opened, and the troops of (ha Pacha to march in, in doing which it wag necessary to peas by four forts. In Ihe mean time, these fort were manned with the disposable force, mala and female of the town, with positive otdera not to fire until tba Turkish troops bad entirely passed the first or out- ermoat Tort. No sooner was una effected, than a tremendous and destructive firs waa commenced upon the invaders, and continued until tba whola body was destroyed, amounting, aa we understood, to four thousand men. Before the result r however, was known lo lha -Pacha, who was not with the army, hia son, a boy of the age of the young Greek hostage, took the liberty of telling hi guest that, as soon a infor mation arrive of the capture of,hia Dative town, he was to be roasted alive. Do not be loo sure of that," said thryw rivea of-lbe Jefeat of your .Iktber, you, jbjill Jas kttmed alive-The Greek comrmwoer, after tba succesaful issue to hit stratagem, wrote letter lo the Pacha, containing the following words: ul knew that you were a treacherous manTbut I diffloF know that you were a fool. You thought that, be. cause I gave you my eon, I could be base enough to betray my country.
