VIENNA, AUGUST 27. It is affirmed that the Archduke Ferdinand, Go vernor-General of Hungary, will have the chief com mand of all the troops forming our Army of Obser vation on the eastern frontier. The strength of this army has been exaggerated : it will not exceed 60,000 men at present; the case would be different if war should break out ; for then, even if Austria took no part in it, the army would be probably aug mented to double its actual force. Opinions here are more than ever divided on the subject of peace and war. The arrival of every new Courier causes a change of opinion. It is certain that our Govern ment does its utmost to prevent war. The people of Vienna, as well at the Austrians in general, take a lively interest in the fate of the Greeks If the Go vernment allowed it, there would be already nu merous associations in their favour. The Greek mer chants at Vienna eagerly refute the reports contained in some Paners, of the cruelties exercised by the Greeks against the Tut These accounts are, if we believe them, mere fictions. A Declaration of the Cabinet of the Thuilleries is spoken of; but which, far from being alarming, fur nishes a new proof of the prudence and perspicuity of the present Government of France. On the other hand, an extraordinary activity prevails in our Cabi net. Our resolution is taken with regard to Turkey. Our relations with Russia are most amicable; and we shall at all events make common cause with that Power. However, we must think of maintain ing peace with the rest of Europe. To this effect, fresh instructions have been sent to Prince Esteihazy, at London, who, under the present circumstances, will double his zeal ; and it is not considered likely that England will fail to be convinced of the sin cerity of our friendship. The Declaration of France, as we have said, is not at all alarming. Besides, as the assistance of our Cabinet may be depended upon to maintain the balance of Europe, we are less em barrassed about the fate of Turkey than about the form of Government to be given to the Greek Pro vinces which may be delivered from the Turkish power. Conjectures are endless, and, among other projects spoken of, some politicians are for forming '.7rreece into a confederation of small States like that of Germany. The re-establishment of the Order of Malta is vial talked of. PRICE SEVEN•PENCE. general permission, as the Government cannot take then). The Turkish squadron, which sailed a few weeks ago from the Dardanelles, has not, as far as I can le.n•n, yet done anything very decisive. One of their first movements was for Samos, to inflict some punishment on the rebelli, us inhahitatas that ►shrnd. It was supposed that it would have been necessary for th:►t purpose to bring away the Asiatic troops (12,000 or 13,000 men) from Scala Nuova; but as soon as the fleet was discerned from Samos, the people became so much alarmed, that they seat out offers of submission, which ss ere received, on condition of their deliver ing lip to the Turks the ringleaders in the revolt. This was done, and the affair ended in that way, the fleet remaining but a very few days before Samos; from whence they sailed for the island of Rhodes, with the view of ef fecting a junction with a small fleet sent up to that quarter by the Pacha of Egypt. It consisted of fifteen or sixteen armed ships, though not of large burden, and the Rhodians themselves are asserted very confidently to have contributed four armed vessels as auxiliaries to the Turkish squadron. With this accession of strength, which will be fully adequate, with tolerable discretion and common naval tactics, to meet any force the Greeks can bring against them, they next sailed, according to the advices last received, for Prevesa, where they gained a further addition to their fors., by falling in with the squadron under the command of the Capitana Bey, which consists of sixteen sail, from frigates downwards; and it is supposed that the whole have before this time *returned to the Archipelago. I mentioned above, that the submission of the in habitants of Samos had rendered the removal of the Asiatic troops from Scala Nuova unnecessary. This led to a scene of a most terrible description. Dis appointed in the hope they had entertained of being permitted to share in the plunder of Samos, they commenced a series of the greatest excesses upon the Christians at Scala Nuova, in the course of which 600 or 700 of them are said to have fallen victims. The only shelter that presented itself to those who were exposed to the first fury of the soldiery was the castle, to which all that could fled. Others were re ceived in the house of the Turkish Cadi, and among the latter fugitives was the English Vice-Consul hint self, who, being a Greek by birth, durst not trust for protection to his official character. I should have tr•ld you, that when the Turkish Ad miral sailed from the island of Samos, he thought it prudent to leave behind him at Scala •Nuova a num ber of transports, about eight or ten. These had not been long stationed there, when the Greek fleet, nearly an hundred vessels strong, of which ten were fire ships, came down to the relief of Samos, which it was concluded would at least have been able to main tain a short contest with the Turks. As they found the business there wholly terminated, they proceeded to Scala Nuova. When the Turkish crews of the transports perceived them approaching, they set them on fire to prevent their falling into their hinds, and went on shore. The state of Smyrna, respecting which all here have latterly felt great anxiety, is known here up to the 3d of this month, when everything was tranquil and in quiet order. None of the Greeks had been killed, or in any way molested, for several days past; in consequence of which, they had felt their confi dence revive, so far as to open their shops, and they were seen parading the streets with as much gaiety as if nothing had happened. Except the French, they have muse levity of character, and suffer sooner the traces of great calamities to disappear from their minds, than any nation in the civilized world. The merchants at Smyrna are a good deal puzzled to ascertain what effect a war with Russia will have upon their commerce. My own opinion is, that it will go on in nearly the same way as usual, and not be much affected either one way m the other. The great point on which reliance is at present placed for the preservation of tranquillity at Smyrna is the vi gour of the Executive Authority, which punishes with the utmost severity and promptitude those Turks de tected in the commission of any disorders or outrage. Some merchants of eminence have been apprehended at Smyrna, in consequence of' a suspicion of partici pating in the insurrection. Among them are Stephano Ralli, Omero Popoli, and Omero Danagidi. They were sent off in custody for Constantinople. I perceive some additional facts in my letters from Smyrna relating to the naval operations of the Turks and the Greeks. When the Turkish fleet got under sail from Samos, it steered for the southward in se parate divisions, one of which falling in with the Greek fleet, and considering themselves overmatched, went into Stanchio about the 2f3th of last month, where the Greeks, being unable to get at them, or fearing to come within cannon-shot, sent in hrur of their fire-ships to set one of the Tut kish line of battle ships on fire. On this occasion a very bold exploit was performed by the Turkiii Cummauder, Cara Ali, who sent out his launches for the purpose of towing the burning ships to a ►iisiance. Ile succeeded with three of them by the courage of his crews, though in danger every moment of being blown into the air. The fourth they even ventured to board, and extinguished the match that was to coin inlaticate with a train of gunpowder for the explosion of the vessel.

AS several Druggists and Medicine Venders, in London, Bath, Cheltenham, &c. are imposing on the Public by selling spurious and inefficacious preparations undet the name of SEW LITZ POWDERS, with pirated labels and din...thins, the Inventors and Patentees think it necessary to inform the Public, that th.• Me-Jicine cannot be genuine unless the names of " Savory, .lloore, and Davidson, Chemlns to the Royal Family, :56, New Bond-street," are printed on the wrap per, and each Bat and Bade is surrounded with a stamp, on which " T.

An improper di gestion of the aliment, subjects the body to a train of distressing elfects--spasm, windy cholic, cramp, vomiting', heartburn, sour eructations, a loss of appetite, and the stomach surcharged with wind, are the attendant symptoms. To remove these painful fedings, and restore a proper proportion of the juices of the sto mach, without which digestion cannot go on with any advan tage to the system, the Oriental Vegetable Cordial is particularly recommended. It was first discovered and used by an eminent Physician in the East Indies, where debilities of the stomach and intestines are severe and alarming ; and the brother of the late Lord Al vanley, Lord Rodney, and a great number of distinguished per sonages in this country have patronized and recommended it. It restores tone to the stomach, removes Spasm, discharges Wind, cures Cholic, and for generally strengthening the Stomach and Bowels it cannot be surpassed, while its agreeable flavour renders it as pleasant as Madeira Wine.

The departure of Baron Strogonoff, as you will naturally conclude, has given rise to infinite specula tion on the political consequences with which it is likely to be followed. You must not absolutely infer a war from it at all, and certainly not an immediate one. Under the present system of Europe, a con sultation between Alexander anti his Allies seems to be an indispensable necessity. This can take place in no mode so convenient as that of a Congress, and if time is afforded for deliberation, the difficulties in the way of an adjustment of the dispute will be les sened, if noi. removed. A mediation, and a powerful one, on the part of England and Auctria,. will no doubt be offered, for the policy of both those Go vernments manifestly tends towards the preservation of peace. The Turks themselves, common sense will suggest, cannot entertain any desire to engage in ' war with their European neighbours, and least of all with such a P?wer as that with which they are now threatened to be placed in opposition. With this knowledge of their disposition, and by the aid of a little prudent management, they may be brought to accede to almost any terms that could be proposed, unless Alexander models his conduct on the fable of the wolf and the lamb, and is determined, at all events, to pick a quarrel. It is only this morning that Strogonoff, who has been detained nearly a fortnight by contrary winds, sailed from Constantinople : before his departure he caused the Imperial Russian arms to be removed from the Chancery. In what light his recent conduct will be viewed by his own Court remains to be ascer tained. I understand that, in the dispatches for warded by the Turkish Government to St. Peters burgh, he is distinctly charged, on very strong evi dence, with having availed himself of the inviolabi lity of his character to assist the Greek insurrection. Whatever feelings may be associated with the Greeks on account of their struggles for liberty, which are among the first impressions we receive in education, it ought not to be forgotten that they are the subjects of Turkey, and that a foteign Ambassador in Lon don might with as much propriety take upon hint to aid and assist a rebellion in Ireland, as Baron Strogo noff interfere, as every one believes he has done, for the cause of the Greeks.
