Phenix Gazette

Morgan.—We saw last evening (says the Boston Courier) a letter written to his father by a young man, employed on board the brig Palestine, belonging to this port, dated Smyrna Nov. 1, 1828, from which we have been permitted to copy the following extract:—" I suppose you recollect Morgan who made such a disturbance in America a few years since. He is now at this place. He has turned Turk for life and wears the turban. He spoke to me yesterday when I went ashore and told me the whole affair of his leaving his native land, which I shall relate to you on my arrival." This intelligence is strongly corroborative of other reports of the same kind, which, at various times, have come from Smyrna. We should think that those who have been so deeply implicated in the abduction of Morgan,—if they have any desire to remove the suspicions that now hang over them,—would adopt some measures to ascertain the truth or falsity of these reports. If Morgan be actually alive and in Smyrna, there could be no great difficulty in settling the fact. The expense of a special agent would be nothing in comparison with the importance of the information.
