TUX. 2VENING STAR. LONDON. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 29. 1821. MicsAuxas-DAT.—Holiday at the Biak. The Paris Papers of Tuesday and Wednesday ar rived this morning. The Jognial des Wats. in speaking of the Conti nental movements of his Majesty Groacia TRZ Potarra, has the following ominous paragraph: a The order to leave everything in the same state in which it was at the Coronation of Westminster, affords reason to presume, that in some months there will be a ceremony of a similar kind." The most •distressing accounts are given of the progress pi she epidetny in Spain. A letter from Barcelona, dated September 12; says---a Yesterday, at Seven in the 'veiling, the troops marched hence to form a cordon•without the city. The Courts removed three days ago, as well as half the inhabitants. (Barcelona contained more than 80,000 inhabit vets.) The warehouses and shops are shut up and all payments suspended. In Bartel°. sesta, the suburb which extends along the harbour, the mortality is dreadful: men perish like flies. The disease is not yet so bad in the city ; the state of health here is much the same as it was in Bartel°. nista some days ago. I shall write to you by every post, for I am determined not to remove. I. have deposited your merchandise in twenty different houses. ' By this precaution a part will certainly be saved"' The greater part of the inhabitants of Barcelona (says the Courier Fraxfois) are wandering about in the neighbouring mountains, flying from one evil to encounter others still more terrible—famine and misery. On the 11th the Authorities abandoned their posts, and retired to Villa, Franca. The following par ticulars, adds the same Paper, which our Marseilles correspondent transmitted us in a letter dated 17th, .v..ere destined to appear in our Paper of yesterday, but were postponed by the operation of a will which is not our own The epidemic disorder which ra vages the coast of Spain has appeared in our Laza retto. It was communicated by a Swedish vessel, I others say a Danish—which arrived here last week. l This disease has already made rapid progress. On Sunday there were only three sick ; but the Bulletin announces the death of these three, and states twelve others to be attacked with the same disorder." The Arms Gazette contains the following extract of a letter from Marseilles, dated the 176 :—" You will surely hear that the yellow fever is in the Laza etto of Marseilles: perhaps many stories will be told you on the subject; but do not be more alarmed than you need be, for you know the Lazaretto is at a good distance from us, and great precautions are taken. Yisterday and the day before twenty-one persons died of this crud malady in the Lazaretto and at Pomigne (a small island where the first quarantine takes place). We are persuaded that nothing is to be feared for the city." The accounts which bear on the question of war between Russia and Turkey are of a contradictory complesion. Under the bead of Warsaw, there is an article of the 4th September, which, appearing at the present moment, must be allowed to be of very signi ficant import: " The General of Brigade XAVIER KOSJECEI," says the article, " Minister Secretary of State, better known by his classical works than by his feats of arms, will, it is reported, publish immediately a plan of attack against Turkey, with observations and very instruc tive notes on the manner of putting it in execution. The Emperor ALEXANDER has, we are assured, ac cepted the dedication of the work. The General has presented it to the Grand Duke Coissiasatriz, who accepted it in the most gracious manner:' On the other band, a letter dated Vienna, Septem ber 14, states that " the Divan, yielding to the sug gestions of the Ministers of the European Powers, interested in the preservation of the Ottoman empire, Ins removed every pretest to which enemies might resort for the violation of the principles proclaimed at Laybach. The Ministers of England and Austria displayed the greatest ability in bringing about this result. Russia did not expect that the SULTAN would accede to her ultimatum, though it was very moderate. It is generally believed that peace will not be interrupted." The Greek fleet is said to consist of 150 vessels, carrying each from 15 to 40 guns ; of a great num ber having fewer than 15 ; and of 500 which are armed with from two to five guns. The larger class of vessels is divided into four squadrons. The first cruises at the mouth of the Dardanelles ; the second is stationed near t* Cyclades; the third protects the Isles of Hydra, Spezia, and Psara ; and the fourth is in the lonian Sea. Prince ALEXANDER YPSILANTI, it is said, is sell confined in an Hungarian fortress. It was repotted that he was liberated at the request of Russia ; but the account appears to be untrue. F ren ch 5 per Cents. Tuesday, 87f. 70e. Exchange., ItErL 60e. A ma f ro m Holland has arrived to-day, with Amsterdam Papers to the 25th ins. They furnish us with some additional passages of the negosiations which preceded the suspension of intercourse between Russia and Turkey, of a nature more favourable on the part of Russia, to the cause of 'the Greeks, than anything that has yet appeased. They are quoted from the Oriental Spectator, which ? it is said, g , gives some extracts from the Note's of Baron Strogonoff to the Sublime Porte,lated the 18th and 26th of July ; regretting 'that it cannot give the whole, which it considers is a masterpiece of moderation and policy." The Ambassador observes, that Russia, depend ing on the justice of her demands, and certain that all her Allies are convinced of the purity of her in tentions, has, while she took upon herself the defence si general interests, not alleged the particular rights which may be considered as the ground of all its proceedings towards the Turkish Government. He alleges the treaty of It aniardgi, which gave Russia the protection of the Greek Christians in all the States of the Porte, and the treaty of Bucharest, which the assumptions of the Reis Effendi, in the conference of 25th April, wou)d render vain ani of no effect, and deprive the inhabitants of Moldavia and Wallachia of all prospect of seeing an cud of their misfortunes. “ Russia desires, with respect to the Porte, what she always ,has desired. While she frankly points out to the Government the ,. .danger to which it ex poses itself, she will, at . dieisame time, shew it the way to its preserv,ation ; and ? if it obstinately persists in not followjng that way; Russia will warn it before hand what attitude it will compel it to - assume. If, as the Emperor Willingly believes, the .-measures under which religion and humanity in Turkey groan, have been taken contrary to the wishes'of the, Sub lime Porte, his Majesty requires that his Highness - shall prove that he is not without power to alter a system, which, as it now is, will no longer permit the Christian Government is treat with the Tusks, or to live upon any other terms with them than in a state of war. " Thatthe Greek churches that have been destroyed or plundered, be immediately restored to a condition adapted to their sacred destination ; thathis Highness restore to the Christian worship its just rights, afford ing it the same protection as before, guaranteeing its inviolability for the future, and doing everything to console Europe for the death of the Patriarch of Constantinople, and for the profanation which suc ceeded his death ; that a wise and just difference be made between the authors of the troubles and those who have taken part in them, and those whose inno cence should protect them from the severity of the Divan ; that to this end a prospect of tranquillity , and peace be Opened to the Greeks who have re mained faithful, or who shall submit within a certain time; and that, whatever the state of things may be, means shall be adopted to distinguish the innocent from the guilty. 44 To the last moment, the gmperor will repel from his mind every representation contrary to the pre ceding : but if the Turkish Government, contrary to expectation, should manifest, that is, in consequence of a plan voluntarily adopted, that those measures are taken, respecting which the undersigned has al ready declared the opinion of his august Master, no thing will then remain to the Emperor than to de clare to the Sublime Porte, that it places itself in a state of open hostility with the whole Christian world; that it legalises the resistance of the Greeks, who would then combat solely to save themselves from inevitable destruction ; and that, considering the na ture of this contest, Russia will consider itself as strictly bound to afford them an asylum, because, they are persecuted ; protection, because she has a right to do so; and assistance, in union with all Chris• tendom, because she cannot leave her fellow-believers a prey to blind fanaticism. " In making these declarations to the Sublime Porte, his Majesty the Emperor considers that he has fulfilled all his obligations towards it. He has proved that, as a faithful observer of treaties, he sin-, cerely desires their maintenance, since he has pointed out to it the means that may save-it, and even shewn a wish to contribute to its preservation. lc He proves it even this day, by pointing out the only means by which the Sublime Porte can avert its entire overthrow. The undersigned is commanded to give the Sub lime Porte the space of eight days, to answer the pre sent communication. "In case the Turkish Government listen to all the wishes of his Imperial Majesty, and fulfil all his hopes by acceding to these proposals, the undersigned is commissioned to agree with the Sublime Porte upon another period of time, during which it shall have an opportunity of proving to Europe, by the testimony of facts, that it not only accepts these pro posals, which must shew on its part a return to more moderate principles, and which are here above stated, but also that it exerts itself to carry them into effect —and that it not only does not desire the evil, but also that it is able and willing to prevent it. " In every other case, the undersigned has orders to announce to the Sublime Porte, that he is imme diately to leave Constantinople, with all the Officers and other persons belonging to the Embassy of his Imperial Majesty. - " The undersigned takes this opportunity, &c. D u jukatre. July a (is). " BARON SIROGIONOFF." After the lapse of the LIMO fixed, his Excellency ' wrote a jecond note, recapitulating the chief points of the preceding. He complains that not only his first Dtagotnan has not brought any written answer as the occasion imperiously demanded, but that even the manner in which the Ottoman Minister had ex pressed himself verbally respecting the three pottant points, rendered it impossible for his Excel lency the Ambassador to continue steps which are now become useless. His Excellency then embarked, and only waked for a fair wind to sail with the whole Embassy. We have received to-day a large supply of Ger. min Papers to very recent dates. They contain some accounts from Greece, in which a victory is stated to have been gained by the Greeks at Cassandra, in Macedonia, on the 18th of August, but the statement is altogether of a •erj doubtful character. FRANKFORT, SEPTEMBER so. Her Serene Highness the Dowager Landgravine Ca roline of Hesse Homburg died the day before yester day, at eight o'clock in the morning, at the age of 75 years and six months. Her Highness was daugh ter to the Landgrave Lewis IX. of Hesse Cassel, born March 2, 1746. She married on the 27th Sep tember, 1768, the late Landgrave Frederick Lewis of Hesse Homburg. SZPT. 4.—The agreeable news has at length been received from Rome, that the negociations art now concluded which have been carried on with the Papal See, respecting the organization and regulation of the Catholic Chtsrckin the Protestant German States, which joined together for this purchase, and that the Pope has accepted and sanctioned, by a Bull, the proposals of the Commissioners, who have been sit ting some time at Frankfort. The Landgrave Fre derick, of Hesse Cassel, has accepted the invitation to d z Ms -winter residence in future at Gotha, as he will not return to Cassel. SALONICHI. JULY SO. (riot ♦ COILMEILITAL LITTER.) Since the late events, our situation has become less alarming. The Turkish arms have again sub jected all the villages that had revoked from our city to Mount Athos and Orfano. Only two rather difficult points still remain, Monte Santo and Cas sandra, where the Greeks seem disposed to make a long resistance, and the Turks on their part are pre paring to attack them on two sides. The above vil lages had been deceived entirely by the Batteries and threats of the Greek armed vessels, which assured them that Alexander Ypsilanti was already master of Moldavia, Wallachia, and Servia, and threatened Constantinople with an army of 150,000 men. By such delusion, they plunged the poor people in the greatest misery, for above thirty villages which at tempted to revolt have been plundered and burnt by the Turks. Here (at Salonichi) the Greeks continue to be thrown into prison, and to be burthened with heavy contributions many rich Greek houses which bad outstanding debts in those villages are ruined, as well as the country-people themselves. There are still executions every day: a week ago, the Greek Archbishop and two Greek merchants were beheaded, and their beads exposed for three days together to the insults of the Turks. They were said to be im plicated in the conspiracy, at least it is said that princely insignia of honour and dresses were found in the house of one of them, it being his design, if things turned out favourable, to become Prince of Salonichi. He had had the clothes made by a Greek tailor, but this wretch turned Mahometan and be , trayed him. In the quarter of the Franks we enjoy perfect tranquillity. Commerce goes on without interruption. SEMLIN, SEPTEMBER s. According to accounts from Seres in Macedonia, 1 of the 22d of August, the Pacha of Salonichi had I collected all his forces in the middle of August, and marched towards Cassandra, to meet the victorious Greeks (stated at 20,000 men) wh• were advancing from the side of St. Catarina, in Thessaly. Alexan der Stagirita, who commanded the Greeks, defeated the Turks near Cassandra, on the 18th of August, so that the remains of the Turkish army with difficulty escaped' to Salimighi. Among the numerous pri soners is stated to be a corps of 400 Jews, which had been voluntarily formed at Salonichi out of hatred to the Greeks. The Greeks, adds the letter, who treated the Turkish prisoners mildly, mutilated most of the Jewish prisoners in the most cruel manner, cutting off chins, noses, and hands. If the friends of humanity must feel profound abhorrence of such cruelties, it is alleged on the other hand, that the Jews throughout Turkey are in league to destroy the Greeks. All the Turkish Governors, even mili tary commandants, are said, now that the Greeks are proscribed, to have only Jews for their agents, and in the execution of the most cruel acts of the Turkish barbkrians, Jews are said to be usually the instruments. Numerous events of this nature have excised an inextinguishable hatred between the Greeks and the Jews. At Salonichi, all the Jews have armed themselves, formed a body guard for the Cadi, and during the absence of the Paella in his expedition against tho ' Greeks, kept in check the Greeks living in the city, who, it is trite, were previously disarmed. It must not be forgotten, that the Jews in Turkey, in con sequence of the heavy oppression under which they are placed, are lowest in the scale of civilization, and can by no means be placed on a level with their breth ren living in the Christian European States. SEPT. 4.—ln explanation of my letter of yesterday, I add—the Greeks, who advanced victorious from St: Catarina, in Thessaly, had passed over the nar row bay, which, when the wind is fair, may be crossed in an hour, to Cassandra, in Macedonia.— Three thousand Thessalians had landed at Cassandra, who joined the Greeks from Mount Athos. The whole force of the Christians is said to have amounted to nearly 20,000 men, who were joined during the battle by all the inhabitants of the coasts of that dis -Ict.t 'IV Priest of Mount Athos carried the Cron before them, and . inflamed the entlius;asra c f t i t Christians to the highest pitch, so that t h e T ua, were totally defeated. 1 We have received this forenoon Philadelphi a Pa sts to the 2d Septemben The following are extracts; ST. JACO, JUNE We have now at anchor in this Bay the brig Apollo, from Lisbon, commanded by a First Lieutenant 4 the Portuguese Navy, bound for Cached, aid petted to sail in a few days. The abo ve ,hi p is the property of a most notorious slave-dealer, J o h n Pereira, of Cacheo : it is affirmed that Pereira has obtained a passport, signed by his Most Faithf u l m a. jesty, granting him leave to send - four thousand du medics, alias slaves, to the Brazils. The Apoil oh intended to take this voyage; this is certainly red the most abominable attempts to evade the mi t words and spirit of the Treaty for the abolitiood the Slave Trade. ST. BARTITOLONIEWS, AUGUST 3. The Patriot privateers continue, as usual, to I N their prizes to the Five Islands; many have recently ar r ived there. The private armed Venezueliaa bit ; Brion and Bolivar, are cruizing this place, ni ing for men and provisions. FROM THE SPANISH 241A1N1, AUGUST 4. A disturbance has occurred at Curacna, the Mi. itia having refused to obey au order of the Goverix e to parade in the Fort, and insisted on doing duty n t the public Parade-ground, which was granted the n , A considerable excitement exists among the peep under an idea that the Governor is going to Lb.it'st 'heir rights. On the 2d instant, therJ wis an semblage of about 700, who, in the course of de evening, insulted the Governor. On the 3d, beG o . vernor called another meeting, and endeavounato pacify the people by assuring them that he had dc.re nothing but what necessity and his duty impo sn i upon him : thus affairs remained at our last dates.
