t ranquillity prevailed. The accounts from Patras are to the 3d o May. The PACHA of NEGROPONTZ had arrived there with a Turkish force, and taken entire posse s sion of the town, after putting to death or to flight the whole of the Greek population.— Reinforcements of Turkish troops were arriving from Ro neha and other provinces, against which the Greeks had no means of defending themselves; but their vessels were everywhere annoying the Turkish trade. The Paris Papers of Tuesday arrived this forenoon. The Emperor and Empress of AUSIRIA arrived, on the 24th of May, at their Palace of Schoenbrunn, from Laybach. _ At Vienna there has appeared a Manifesto in modern Greek, addressed to the Courts of Europe, by PIERRE MA UROM FCHALY, who calls himself Gene ralissimo of the Spurt/ate :hacks, and the Friend of his People, and by the Council of Messcniens, at Katamata. 'Phis Manifesto is dated from the Spar 'Lite camp, 25th March (6th April, old style), 1821. The contents of this document are not given. According to the accounts current at Vienna on the 25th of May, the fury of the Turks at Constan tinople was such that the Foreign Ambassadors no longer found themselves in safety in that capital. —Lately, a great number of Greeks, of the lower order, had been massacred before the Hotel of the Russian Ambassador; and, on his refusal to deliver to the populace a Greek family to whom he had granted an asylum, the furious populace threatenea to force the Ambassador's Hotel. M. Strogonoff conducted himself on this occasion with equal dignity and resolution. Accompanied by all the persons at tached to the Embassy, he appeared on the balcony of the Ilotel, and declared, by means of his Inter preter, to the sanguinary multitude, that he wont.' consider as a declaration of war against his Sovereign the least attempt to offer viricnce, and that he would instantly take the steps becoming him in such a situa tion. This vigorous conduct was not IA ithout its elec. The Turks immediately abandoned their sanguinary project. An article from Constantinople, of the 2d of May. says—" We are just beginning to experience a relief from indiscriminate massacre; but legal murder still desolates the Greek quarters, and threatens the total destruction of their population. The Porte, however, begii.s to be alarmed at its own measures; and the execution of Prince Moaust„ who enjoyed in a high degree the confidence of the People, has excited 'an unexpected indignation. It was for the purpose of recovering some slight degree of credit that the.Stm ne depo.ect the new Vizier, BENDULI, after ten days' enjoyment of office, dining which he had committed the most horrid atrocities." SMYRNA, MAY 3. Immediately on the receipt of the intelligence re specting the disturbances in Constantinople, orders were issued for the formation of a Corps of Volun teers in this province. The Turkish population was already in arms; and pistols were fired at the Euro peans on horseback. At length, in the night of Sun day, the Bth ultimo, the Chief of the French Factory, with two of his Officers, fell into the hands of a nu merous patrol, who, without respect to their uniform or rank, insulted, beat, and dragged them away; but,: being known at the first post, they were set at liberty. I At midnight the Consul of France repaired with the Head of the Factory to the Governor, who assured them that satisfaction should be given. On the following day the Consuls went in a body to the local Authorities. The people put various constructions upon this procedure—some saying that the French Commandant meditated revenge, while others represented the 'finks as in a state of exas peration, and talked of contemplated massacres and firing the town. At length, when the public anxiety was at its height, two vessels arrived from Constantinople with the latest news. The Greek population were over whelmed with terror and dismay. The Turks, equally so, dreaded an insurrection of the Greeks and Fi anks, while the spectators of passing occurrences antici pated with horror the impending conflict, and the success of either party. In the morning of the I I th, when alarm had reached the highest pitch, the report of a pistol fired from a balcony by accident operated as the signal for conflict. The Turkish soldiers hurried from their post to the spot. The inhabitants whom the report had brought to their windows and doors, saw the soldiers running in all directions with arms in their hands and fury in their looks ; the cries of the fugi tives spread consternation all around ; and the air re sounded with cries of " Rebellion ! Rebellion! The Mnssulmans are cutting the throats of the Christians!" Several thousand men, women, and children reached the sea shore; fancying the enemy close behind them, they dashed into it headlong, without calculating upon the means of escape. Some hid themselves in desolate places, and others shut themselves up in their houses. On the effervescence subsiding for a moment, some of the fugitives ventured to retrace their steps, and in vain endeavoured to allay the fears of their friends ; the i news of the rebellion had already spread over the whole town, and was accompanied with many cir cumstances of horror. In vain did the Authorities endeavour to inspire confidence into the minds of the weak and the timid. They continued to embark thrnugh the day, and to a late hour in the night. On the following day a fresh alarm was excited by arumour of a war between -the Porte and Russia. The people continued to emigrate; though the corn postire with which the Governor saw thousands of families embarking, ought to begin to calm the pre vailing agitation. The Editor of the Constitutionnel subjoins the fol- , lowing remark :--" Letters of a later date than the Oriental Spectator, announce that the Porte had sent orders for producing tranquillity, that several Der loxes had been executed in the Castle, and a Capidgi bachi was expected to arrive." The Master of the Caroline reports -that, on the day after he left Smyrna, he spoke, in the Gulpii of Smyrna, a Greek Insurgent Corsair, who informed him that there were, at Ipsara, from thirty to thirty five armed and ready to start against the Turks. French 5 per Cents. Monday, 871 r. 25c. New York Papers arrived this morning to the 11 tb Map•—The National Intclligncer announces the de parture, from 'Washington, of the Navy Commis sinners, en a visit to the Eastern Navy Yards. The object of this visit is to perfect certain arrangements to ensure economy in the expenditure of the public money. The following is given as an extract of a letter from Colonel SANTIAGO, of the Mexican army operating in Texas: " FORT BOL/TAR, JANUARY 10. " I take the opportunity to acquaint you with our arrival at this fort, and the commencing of our operations against the Royalists, by taking from them a fortification at the mouth of the river Trinadas, with four six-pounders, 160 prisoners, and 200 deserters. Our loss consisted of 12 killed, and 18 wounded. We expect some provisions from the United States, and some Officers, with 900 men. As spot Ss they come, we shall march against St. Antonio." . vast number of adventurers are said to be bound to Florida, to make, or to try to make, their fortunes. Pensacola, it is supposed, will become the most im portant harbour on the coast, both finr the sale and shipment of American produce : it is more conve nient than New Orleans, and one of the most healthy situations on the Gulf of Mexico. Commodore Ito- GERS, it is added, will be the Naval Commander on that station, and he will reside at Pensacola. THE ARMY.

This Court resumed its Sittings yesterday, *cord ing to the notice in the Gazette, in the Painted Cham ber, Westalinster. The Court met at one o'clock. — •I embers present were— The 1..arl of Harrnwby, who took the Chair as President, Lord St. Helens, Lord Amherst, Lord Redesdale, Duke of Montrose, Lord Henley, Lord Binning, Marquis Camden. Sir William Scott, Sir John Nichon, Sir William Grant, Mr. S. Bourne, Mr. Beckett, Mr. Peel, Sir Henry Russell, and Mr. Wallace. Mr. Fermwrs attended on behalf of the Lord High Cham berlain, which office is now held conjointly by the Marchioness of CHOLMOND/ LEY and Lady WILLOUGHBY. He stated that their Ladyships had not yet appointed a deputy to do service on the day of the Coronation, but he had authority to transact the bu siness for them until they made an appointment. The considera tion adjourned until the next day the Court sits. The Petition of the City of Dublin, that the Loan Maros, &c. may have a place at the approaching Coronation, was re ferred to the KING in Council. On a Petition ot the Rev. Mr. Destone, claiming to perform the Office of Champion on the day of the ceremony, and to have the mantle worn by his MAJEStY, and the gold cup out of which he will drink to the Champion, as fees for his services, the Court decided that the Petitioner should be allowed to have the geld cup, but not the mantle. Another Petition was presented from Mr. Drams, praying to be allowed to withdraw his first Petition, which prayed that Mr. Reader might be allowed, as his Deputy, to perform the olfiee of Champion, and that he might be permitted to appoint DvatoKE, Esq. his son, a Midshipman in the Royal Navy, to perform the office as his Deputy, although a minor.— Mr. Mamma, jun. a fine young man, appeared is Court in a suit of armour. The Court, after some discussion, referred the Petition to the KING in Council. _ _ _ The next Petition was from Messrs. Donettre and Coax, chy mists, Southampton-street, Strand, praying that they might be allowed to prepare and supply the oil to be used in anointinr, his MAJESTY at the Coronati•n as their house had performed that office at the Coronation of beorge 111.

Petition was presented from the Bishops of Di:seism and BATH and WELf s , claiming to be the supporters of the Kmu, and to perform various services at the ceremony. The Petition further prayed, that the Petitioners might be allowed to perform the services by Depuies, on account of their great age. The Court allowed the claim of the Petitioners to perform the services stated. But the question of thAr being allowed to perform the set vices by Deputies, was referred by the Court to the KING in Council. _ _ _ The claim of the Baamis of the Cinque Ports to carry the Canopy over the Kr.sc, at the ceremony, was allowed. The claim of the Borough of Cork Castle to perform the same ceremony, was disallowed. The claim of the Baroness Gear DE ItUTHYN to carry a pair of silver spurs before the Kisc, and to perform other services, was allowed by the Court. ller Deputy is to be appointed by the K txo.

It was a. near the public running of the same horses at the late Newmarket Meeting as the best judges anticipated.

OLD BAILEY-THIS DAY. The following prisoners pleaded Guilty to the minor offence of having Forged Bank Notes in their possession : John Smith, Jane Carter, Charles Peelc, John Dark, George Kemp, Robert Hitebmore, Gi.orge Pike, George Baker, Tho mas Stevens, Edward Smith, Elizabeth Smith, Fllribeth Web ster, Thomas Clare, Richard Lynch, Sarah Stewart, Sarah Reading, Sarah Appleton, Frances Gray, Elizabeth Pascoe, Ca therine Taylor, Charlotte Thorne, Elizabeth Rutin, and John Shelton. Joseph Smith and John Low remain for trial—the former on the capital, and the latter on the minor offence. Elisabeth Hyde was tried for the murder of her infant child, on the morning of the 6th April. According to the evidence of Mrs. Taylor, in whose service the prisoner lived, the latter was delivered of a child on the morning of the 6th of April, but from the circumstances adduced in evidence, there ap peared no reason to infer the crime charged. The Jury returned a verdict of—Nut Guilty. Algernon Disney, Esq. and Prier George Patynrr, Esq. were severally arraigned, the first for v.olcirly beating and maltreating Anne Banting, spinster, of which said ill usage she died in the month of October last ; and the second, for the wilful murder of John Scott, Esq. who was killed in a duel at Chalk Farm on the 16th of February last. Mr. Baron GARROW, on looking over the list of the witnesses in Captain Disney's case, discovered that several of them were not in attendance, of which he strongly complained, and said that justice to the Public as well as the prisoner required the fullest in vestigation of this case. The constable in attendance, who had been exa- mined before the Coroner, said some of the witnesses were here. , Mr. Baron GARROW remarked, that they ought to have been all in attendance. Mr. ALLEY said that he was Counsel for the pri. saner, who had taken all the pains in his power to have in attendance the witnesses who were examined..., before the Coroner. The Court would recollect that the Grand Jury had ignored the Bill, and that it was upon the Coroner's Inquisition the present case came for trial. The first witness examined was Robert Coates, the Mary-la-bonne constable, who merely proved the summoning of the Coroner's Jury, the apprehension of the prisoner, and the removal to an hospital of the deceased. Hannah Coles, the midwife of the Hospital, proved the death of the deceased, as she thought at the time, of labour after-pains. Susannah Dawson deposed to the ill-treatment which the deceased described to witness she had re ceived from the prisoner, by blows from a stick on various parts of her body. This was a fortnight be. fore she was taken to the Hospital. Mr. Guddeyer, who was a surgeon and apothe cary to the Hospital, said that the deceased had been admitted as a patient laboui ing under a common cold. At the time of her admission, ho. had no idea she was pregnant, and immediately before her death, she appeared to have a great accession of fever, St. Anthony's fire, and a constipation of the bowels; the last two symptoms did not necessarily follow de. livery ; but in this case they led to mortification, which caused her death. Verdict— Not Guilty. Mr. Baron GARROW condemned the impropriety of sending such a case as this from the Coroner to a Jury. DUEL AT CHALK FARM. Mr. Patmore was then put upon his trial for the wilful murder of the late J. Scott, Esq. Our Readers will recollect that Mr. Patmore was second to Mr. Scott in the unfortunate transaction at Chalk Farm, the particulars of which we have already published, and are therefore dispensed from the necessity of re peating here the contents of Mr. WA LFORD'S opening speech on the part of this prosecution. The first witness called was Mr. Pettigrew, the Surgeon, of Spring-gardens. Before he was sworn, Mr. Justice BAYLEY addressed him, and said that he was not bound to answer any question which W4S calculated to criminate himself. Mr. PETTIGREW thanked his Lordship, and replied that he was not aware he had incurred any crimina lity, for he had merely gone, as a professional man, to render assistance if called upon, and without having had any previous knowledge of Messrs. Scott or Christie, or of their cause of quarrel. He hoped that it did not expose him to any legal guilt ; it cer tainly did not, in his judgment, to any moral crime. Mr. Justice 13.tytax said, that if he (Mr. Petti grew) went knowingly to attend any duel, for the purpose of rendering assistance to any of the parties therein, and that death ensued, he, being knowingly present, became involved in a criminal charge, in the eye of the law. Mr. PETrionEw then said, that, under such cir cumstances, he must decline giving evidence. Mr. Bevis Morris, his pupil, was next called, and similarly excused himself from giving evidence. Mr. Justice BAYLEY observed, that a professional Gentleman had some years ago been tried at the Old Bailey, under circumstances of the same nature.— (The case alluded to by the Learned Judge was, we believe, that of Mr. Heaviside, the surgeon, who at tended the fatal duel between Colonel Montgomery and Captain Macnamara, at Chalk Farm.) Mr. Baron GARROW said, he was of Counsel in the case alluded to. The next witness was Dr. Darling, who was called in to attend Mr. Scott after he was wounded, but the Doctor's evidence was not received, as it related to a declaration made by Mr. Scott when there was reason to believe he did not consider his wound actually mortal The Proprietor of Chalk Farm, and one of his ser vants, then deposed to the particulars of the duel, which we need not repeat. There being no direct evidence against the pri soner, the Jury, under the direction of the Learned • Judge, immediately returned a verdict of Not Guilty, and Mr. Patmorc was immediately discharged.
