MAT 22. 44 We do-not entertain the same hopes of a speedy evacuation of the Principalities by the Turks, or a termination of the existing obstacles. A small pro poi tion of the troops had retired, which is only con sidered an evasion for postponing the views of Russia. " The Turkish fleet is off Scio, and the Greeks are in view. The massacre of the hostages is likely t..) bring down the vengeance of all the mediating Powers, and especially Russia, as those hostages were chiefly en gaged in trade with the Russians. " Lord STRANGYORD had remonstrated with the Porte on its right of searching British vessels, to which no answer whatever had been given, but was treated with contempt." Other letters from Constantinople assert positively that the Turkish troops have not yet evacuated the provinces, and that the Turkish Government are merely deluding the Ambassadors, in order to gain time. The expectation was, that war would ensue. The following is a most heart-rending appeal from the few remaining inhabitants of the lately flourishing Isle of Scio, to their brethren and countrymen in this kingdom. A whole population destroyed or carried into slavery by the ruthless 'forks, and the Powers of Enrore looking tamely on, without making an effort to save the few that remain, or to avenge the death of the thousands that have been massacred ! " CONSTAN n Nor LE, MA r .15, ]S!2. " Deer and bi.loved Brethren and Countrymen—We doubt not that the news contained herein must have already reached you, and fallen like a acider-holt on your hears. What murc dreadful than the knowledge that our illustrious and innocent countrymen—ten of theta in prison here, and these in the castle of Scio, ninety ire in all—universally esteemed and respected, chosen and ha as hostages for more titan a y -ar past, have at lot, without a single motive, without even the shadow of a per sonal accusatiwi against them, been bioJarously ex, euted ? We at first deeply lamented the unmerited restraint put upon the persons of those now no more; their death, and cruel, in the first burst of grief neatli paralysed our faculties; but these we look upon now as enjoyit.i, eternal and immutable felicity; our pity is no longer their due, but it flows fur those unfortunates who have survived, and who henceforth ire doomed to tyranny unexampled in history, and privations of every kind. Who can, without shuddering, read of the total ruin, the univer sal desolation of our famed and once happy isle (Selo); the de infliction of all its inhabitants, nearly one hundred thousand, who, except a very few who almost miraculously escaped front those ill-fated shores, have fallen victims to the sword, to fire, burger, and slavery—that worst of all evils? Who can, without feelings of indignation, without execrating the perpetrators of these horrid acts, behold a whole city, lately so flourishing, now ore heap of ruins; whole villages, innumerable country seats, a prey to the flames ; our celebrated school, library. hospital for the sick. hundreds of Churches sichly adorned—all, all one con fused mass of .smoking rubbish ! " Our island lately so much frequented by Europeans, and snore especially by English families of the first rank, will now have only her ashes to :drew the passing stranger. Nor is this, so dreadful in itself, the most dire of our calamities. The slavery of so many respectable women, your, people, and children of both sexes, sent off to different parts of Asia—the markets of this city and Smyrna filled with women and young people of the first rank, and who have received the best education ! 'What can be more dreadful than this? Happy, thrice happy those whom the steel of the assassin has snatched from scenes so harrowing to the feelings; how miserable those still suffered to exist, who see the staring', bear the cries and pitreus accents of their wives, children, and relatives,and are witnesses to the barbarous vestment this devoted and innocent people receive from the wretches who have them in their power ! What can be laid to our charge? We poor Sciots, who, from the beginning, have re. -ermined faithful, arc rewarded with death and slavery. It is well known, as soon as the Porte heard of the insurrection in the Moira, and sundry islands of the Archipelago, it sent here a Pacha having with him about three thousand troops; the whole of the expenses of this garrison was defrayed by our island, which, in the course of about fourteen months, paid more than 2,700,000 piastres, each according to his means. Besides that, the Sultan ordered a choice to he made of sixty of the roost con siderable and respectable from our countrymen, beginning by our Archbishop Pluto, the elder, and other principal inhabitants. " When the news of the invasion of the imprudent fiamiotrs first spread in Scio, the principal inhabitants waited on the Pacha to apprise him of it. What was his answer?—to send into the castle, as hostages, some more of these innocent men, and to transport all the provisions out of the city into the citadel, not leaving any whatever for the poor inhabitants of the city, who were so numerous. A month after, when the Samiotes landed, the Pacha sent some of the hostages, with several Turks, to prevail on the &mimes to evacuate the island; but they im prudently resolved to advance, and told these ministers of peace that they would sooner put them to death than do so. The Pacha then shut himself up in the castle, with all the military, taking with him all the hostages. It was understood that at number of the peasantry had joined the Samiotes; but they were in a manner forced to it, being apprehensive of the Sa miotes themselves, and they were only armed with sticks and '1 . Eleven days after, the Turkish fleet arrived at the and landed 15,000 soldiers, who, joined by the 3,000 in castle, being unable to attack and defeat the 3,000 s am i otes , 1 their weapons against the innocent and disarmed inhabit , and turned their fury against women and children, killing, burning, and taking into slavery all the inhabitants of the place; the men they slaughtered, the women and children they brutally waned and huddled together in one of the large squares, which contained several hundred of the most respectable families; they not left a stone upon a stone—all destroyed, all ruined ! it would All volumes to record tko differentia:lo of ham ~~ T ' • which the ruMans *ere piney dad* it it. But this universal desolados had int satisfied *I klied-thintY followers of Mohammed : they had heaped upon their trembling and tender victims all the bitterness of their fanaticism-95 men, the first of their nation, both as to character and property, men who bad always followed the paths of rectitude in their commercial transactions ; whose relations were established in almost every commercial city in the known world-- men innocent of any machination against the Turkish Govern ment, and who could not, if even they would, have been partici pators in the rising of the island, since they had been le months under the grasp of the Turkish satrap. Ten of these were at Constantinople, the remainder at Selo. Lord &rangford made strenuous efforts to save them—neglected no remonstrances — evinced the greatest ardour in the cause of suffering innocence, and thought he had succeeded in sheltering them from their im pending fate, having obtained a promise from the Porte that no harm should be done them, when it suddenly gave orders for their execution. " The ten in Constantinople were beheaded, and the $5 in Scio were bung outside of the castle, in that very square where so many of the slaves were placed, in sight of the Turkish fleet, who had their decks covered with Greek slaves. Oh ! how the heart sickens at such refinement of cruelty, and turns with hor ror from that malice that could take delight in deriding the mental agony of the innocent sufferers in this tragic scene ! What a number of wives were forced to be spectators of the cruel death of the husbands of their affections—to see at the name time their suckling babes, torn from their breasts ; thus bereft at once of their support and their hopes !' Many, driven to despair by this barbarous usage, threw themselves into the sea ; others stabbed themselves to prevent the loss of honour, to them worse than death, to which they were every moment exposed from the barbarians. But, alas ! let us draw a veil upon those who have thus sunk untimely into the grave ; let us not barrow up your souls with the recital of their atrocities; their sufferings are over, and their felicity, let us hope, begun! " It is now time to turn your sympathy towards the unfortu nate survivors of the general wreck—to call, dear countrymen, your attention to the miserable naked state of thousands of our &lots with which the markets here, at Smyrna, and Scio, are glutted. Picture to yourselves children of the tenderest age, till now nursed with the most delicate attention, driven about with only a piece of cloth round their infant limbs, without shoes or any other covering, having nothing to live upon but a piece of bread thrown to them by their inhuman keepers—ill tteated by them—scld from one to the other, and all in this deplorable situ ation, exposed to be brought up in the- blahometan religion, and lose sight of the precepts of our holy religion. We see all this; yet, alas ! what can we do here, reduced to three or four, who, If fourd out, would also be exterminated without mercy ? What we could do we have done; but bow little among so many claim ants to our charity! " You, brothers, friends, and countrymen, are in the capital of England, the centre of philanthropy ; you live amongst a people always tamed for their generous feelings towards the un fortunate, for their dislike to tyranny, and their support of the oppressed. Beg, pray, entrert, appeal, to their feelings, call upon them as Britons, as men, as fellow-beings: it is in the cause of humanity and of religion : they cannot, will not, be deaf to your prayers. They will afford us, as far as lies in their power, the means of redeeming the captive, of aiding those families that are in a state of nudity and starvation, who will soon arrive in almost every port of the Mediterranean, when they have been enabled to fly Irons a yoke wutse than death. We rely upon your eliat4- yours, and still more upon the high character of the nation among whom you inhabit : thousands of hands are raised towards you to claim your interference in behalf of your oppressed coun trymen: thousands of hearts will feel grateful for your assistance. Brethren and counttymen, exert yourselves in behalf of huma nity.—With tearful cyc we cordially salute you, and beg you will pray to Goo for our safety. " YOUR BROrtiEtts AND COUNTRYMEN." The letters received from Canton, of the 25th Fe bruary, in addition to the satisfactory intelligence they bring of the differences with the Chinese being amicably adjusteJ, state a fact of the utmost im portance. It is, that the Chinese Government have abandoned the pi inciple that the Representatives of the East India Company at Canton are responsible for acts committeJ by British ships of war, thus se curing a most in:portant point to our trade with China, and lessening the danger of occurrences like that for which it has recently suffered a suspension more than two months, since the crews of the India men aie much less likely than those of the men of war to engage in affrays with the peaceful subjects of the 4. Celestial Empire." We understand that the fortunate result in which the differences have ter minated, has been greatly owing to the advantage enjoyed by the Representatives of the East India Company at Canton, in the abilities of Dr. MORRI SON, toge:her with his profound knowledge of the language, laws, and usages of China. The special Edict, or CAop, by which the trade bas been re-established, is dated the 20th February. On the affair of the Topaze, it says, " It appears that the man of war has already taken away in her the foreign murderers, and has tun away back to her own country ; and the Chief, at this time, indeed, appears not to have any means of ordering the delivetirg up of those murderers. Lint it is authenticated, that the Chief and the others have pre sented an official document, saying that they will take all the cir cumstances of this affair, from first to last, and write home that it way be examined into and managed." The French Papers of Tuesday do not contain a single paragraph of importance relating either to Spain or to the affairs of Russia and Tui key. The proceedings of the Chamber of Deputies are also destitute of interest. They write from Saumur that Lieutenant DELON formed a part of the armed band which attempted to rescue 136azorr, and whose leader was shot. He still wanders in the fields, but cannot long escape pursuit. The Police of Paris has recently adopted a most arbitrary and contemptible system of searching and spying. Two persons, coming out of a bookseller's shop with some pamphlets, were seized by a person in coloured clothes, aided by a gens d'arme—without Any warrant or authority, dragged to the Prefecture of the Police, searched there, and dismissed, with the bare satisfaction of being told that the Agent of the Police suspected them of having prohibited engray. ings. The studies of respectable artists in sculp ture and painting are also rummaged by the Police for likenesses or emblems of BONAPARTE and his Government. This forenoon we received a Dutch Mail, bringing Papers to the 26th instant. An article from Brody, in Gallicia, dated the sth of June, states, that the last accounts from Jassy, the Capital of Moldavia, announce anew civil and mili tary organization of that Province and Wallachia by the Turkish Government. it also states positively Ili * : that the departure of the Turkish troo2s is definitely' deferred. . . On the 12th of June there was a dreadful fire at Stockholm, by which the merchants alone have lost between four and 500,000 rix dollars. The town of ErnbrittshAm has likewise suffered by a destructive fire. The number of persons burnt in the Church at Grue was 11S, and many persons were injured. Charleston, Philadelphia, and Baltimore Papers have arrived this morning, two days later than the last. The following are extracts : FROM THE BALTIMORE PAPER Of THE 230 MAY. It appears by a letter from Mr. Gallatin, that the British Government is very desirous of obtaining the northern part of the State of Maine, to render more easy the communication between New Brunswick and Canada. FROM THE CHARLESTON PAPER OF THE 17TH MAT. EXTRACT OP A LETT= VEO3I MATATISAU, DATED ♦TUL 21. A circumstance occurred here, a few days since, hich has caused considerable sensation in this city. An Officer, with about 300 soldiers, attacked one of the printing-offices, demolished the materials, and shamefully abused the persons employed in it.— The printer's offence was publishing some strictures on the conduct of the Captain General. A remon .strance to the Spanish Cortes against this wanton abuse of power was drawn up the next day, and signed by more than 3,000 inhabitants. All is conjecture as :o what will be the termination of this affair; but we are in daily expectation of a revolution in the go verament of this island." motes staves.

They intend to continue some time with the Princess ELIZABETH of Hesse H.+inburg, and af terwards go to Stutgard, on a visit to the Qu:cn Dowager of WORT/Lb/BURG. The ball given by the Officers of the Royal Artil lery at Woolwich, on Tuesday, was most numerously and fa shionably attended. Upwards of 600 Guests were entertained in the noble Mess-room of the Regiment. After partaking 'of an elegant supper, the dancers again resumed their festive em ployment, and the company did not separate till a late hour. Mr. GREENWOOD S Fete, at Brampton Park, yester day, was of the most elegant kind. The fineness of the day, and the beauty of the scenery, heightened not a little the general effect. The visitants began to arrive at three o'clock in the afternoon, the ireakfast took place atftve ; and the dancing commenced at seven. The hall-room was a temporary structure, resembling the Temple of Darius. Lady Vans led of the first quadrille with Lord Ilaurment&t. Two Bands of Military Music played alter nately delightful airs. The dancing was kept up with great 'pith, notwithstanding the heat of the weather. To enumerate the Company would be to name nearly all the leading and dis tinguished Fashionables in town including the Dukes of WYE, LINOTON and Susses, and the Prince of Desimaat. On the whole, about Thirteen Hundred persons partook of the Dejeumi. Rasmus MAW/I.—Yesterday, a Prise Wherry, given by the Gentlemen of the Inns of Court and others was rowed for by eight watermen belonging to the Temple-stairs.

WESTMINSTER SESSIONS. Yesterday mowing tbese Sessions svere•open.Al by P. C:N. / Esq. aad a full Bench of Magistrates. DILSOILACIFUL I'LWLIC. Frederick Cirefieid, a young Officer in the Army, was indict;,!for assaulting aisd'beating Thomas Greeneill, in the Parish of S:. Martin-in-ihe:Fields, on the 2d of F e br uary l ast . Mr. Ataxy, for the prosecution, stated to th e J ury that Mr. Gretnsill was a respectable tradesman living in the Str an d , re :r Charing-Cross, and on the evening o f th e d ay stated in the it. dictment be had a large party of trad e sm en , t h e i r wives and daughters, and other persons to a ball and supper, at his house. I .7he company, at 12 o'clock, were about to sit d own to supprt, when a loud double knock was heard at the do or , and, on its being opened, the defendant and three other Cattlemen present e d themselves, and inquired "if Mr. Greensill was at home?"-... The servant was surprised at their appearance, imagining th-t all the company had arrived long b e f ore; b ut t h e confident air with which they put the question remov e d all suspici on , suffered them to take off their h a ts and great coats, and and she proceed up stabs. In the first room into which they entered, they found Mrs. Greensill and several other Ladies. Perceiving that they had black handkerchiefs and boots, and otherwise curiously :::: tired for a ball, she requested to know to what circumstance sLe was indebted for the honour of their company?—" Oh ! Madam," replied one of the defendants, " we are come to supper with you-- make yourself easy." Mrs. Greensill, however, was not satisfia, and Mr. GreenaiU was called,. who, perhaps, in no very gen:is manner, puts similar question, and the answer was, " that they had come there for a frolic ; they thought it was an open house." Mr. Greensill said it was impossible they could snake such a mistake. Some warm words ensued, and the Ladies were much alarmed, and one of them fainted. Mr. Greensill insisted Upga their quitting the house; they began very leisure ly to put use their great coats. Mr. Greensill, very naturally, was a I.t.ie impatient, and desired them to make haste, to which the defeat.- ant replied, " they would take their own time." Mr. Greensill said, if they did not leave the house instantly, he would kick them out ; and in answer to that, the defendant said, if he offered to lay a hand upon him he would knock him down. Mr. Greve, sill did then lay his hand upon the defendant's shoulder and attempted to push him towards the door; upon w hi c h the latter turned round and struck him. The watch was then called, and the intrulers were taken to the watch-house, on the way to which, they used the must opprobious language, the. defaid ant repeatedly threatening to" cut the prosecutor's guts out: -- Nn apology had ever been made by the defendants up to the pre sent day, or perhaps the prosecutor would not have troubled the Court with this proceeding. The I.,•arntel Counsel, after mill severe observations upon the circumstance of the d4endmt arid his companions, as Officers of the Army. intruding into the pri vate house of a peaceable citizen, conch: led by calling upon the Jury for a vet dirt, and on the Court for e:templary punishmeut. Mr. Greensill, and a young Gentknian WhO waset the party, were called, and proved all ilia. the Counsel for the prosecutiau had stated. Air. ADOLPHUS addressed the Jury for the defendant, and contesided that the first Assault was committed by the prketec tor. Air.
