Accounts from Constantinople, dated the 10th, state, that the Grand Vizier is deposed, and Benduli Ali PAshaw appointed his successor. Until he ar rives, El-Hadgi-Sali-Pashaw is to fill the office, with the title of Caimacan. The Porte is making vigorous preparations against the Insurgents. Five corps of Janissaries, and four companies of Topdichi's (artillery), are ordered to reinforce the Army of the Pashaws destined to pass the Danube and attack Ypsilanti and Wladimeresko. The new Grand Vizier is soon expected, and is to bring with him a considerable number of troops from Asia. All the corps of Janissaries have taken up arms, and this crisis has already occasioned some very great excesses. The troops continue to traverse the city, and pillage the Greeks and Franks, or make them pay ransom, though the Government has al ready caused some implicated in those disorders to be arrested. The Pashaw Chorchid, who commands before Ja nina, has made some fruitless attempts to negociate with Mi Pacha and with the Sulliotes. The latter have 1000 men under arms, and carry on a Guerilla war against the Turks. The news from Laybach varies from day to day. It is now said that the Emperor Alexander will leave Laybach to-morrow, and take the route to Pest, where he will visit the Archduke Palatine, and afterwards proceed to the south of Russia. Our Sovereign will quit Laybach after receiving a Deputation from the Lombardo•Venetian Kingdom. It was expected the audieuce for this purpose would be given on the 13th. EXTRACT FROM A PRIVATE LETTEREAME DATE. " It was stated with sufficient probability, that the conferences at Laybach were concluded; but consi derations of high importance have decided otherwise. We learn that the Congress is prolonged, and conse quently that the residence of the Emperors of Aus tria and Russia, and the Ministers of the great Powers at Laybach, may yet be of some duration. This in telligence has opened a vast field for political conjec ture, and given circulation to a multitude of reports every one more contradictory than another. " Letters from Petersburgh confirm the reports of extraordinary movements in the Russian armies, which arc concentrating on different points. The Im perial Guard bas definitively left that capital, and marched towards the frontiers. " By letters from Hermannstadt, in Transylvania, we learn, that the subjects of Russia, serving with the Greek insurgents, have not yet obeyed the order of their Government, requiring their return to Russia within eight days, a period which had already ex pired. On the contrary, it appears that a new Greek corps, lately organized at Jassy, has marched to join the army of Prince Ypsilanti. " A letter directly from Jassy announces, that 5000 Greeks have passed the Danube, near Sistova, and that they have taken a position on the right bank of the river, and formed entrenchments for protect ing a bridge, which is to serve for a communication between Wallachia and Bulgaria. " There have been some sanguinary actions in the Morn, and we are assured that the Turkish troops have been repulsed on several points by the insurgents:. NLWING TON SELECT VESTRY BILL.

Cons. for Opg. 76 1 4 Vs Vs V - We have received to-day the Paris Papers of Tues day and Wednesday. They contain a great deal of important intelli gence respecting the progress of the insurrection in the Turkish empire, which, according to all appear ances, may now be really termed an insurrection of the Greeks. We cxpressed, some time ago, our doubts cf its being a rising of the genuine Greeks, and our conviction that if it was not, there was but little chance of its leading to any important result. As these doubts are removed, our hopes of Grecian emancipation return; and we are induced now to think almost as favourably as we did before despond. ingly of the exertions of the Liberator of Greece and his followers. A private letter from Zante, of the 12th April, states, that the movements in. Moldavia and Wallachia were merely intended as the signal of insurrection, and as a false attack to cover more efficient opera tions. The question at issue, it is said, between the Turks and Greeks, is not like that of ordinary rebel lions—a struggle for an equal participation of con tested rights. It is nothing s less than who shall pos sess a house, and who shag' possess a tomb ? The Greeks massacre the Turks wherever they can find them, and the Turks, in their turn, when conquerors, massacre the Greeks. This idea is so familiar to the Greeks, that it would be difficult to find one brave enough to draw back, were he even inclined. They see, in fact, less to fear from continuing the war, than from laying down their arms ; when to lay them down would only be to surrender themselves to cer tain death from a merciless enemy. It is said that the whole of the Morea is now in arms. At Patras," continues the writer, ge the fire which was set to the city, continued to rage for more than four days; and while the cross was hoisted as the sign of independence, the Greeks slaughtered the Turks wherever they could meet with them. The un fortunate refugees, at the houses of the European Con suls, were every instant in terror least they should he dragged forth. At last, after six days of the greatest confusion, Archbishop Gerveaux, a man en dowed with great firmness, and well known for his patriotism and intelligence, who had left the town on the 30th March, returned on the night of the 6th April, as Protector of the Greek Fopulation, and enemy of the tyrant Turks. Immediately on his ar rival the following Proclamation was published throughout the city .:•• 4 Respect to the Consuls, As sistance to Christians—Death to the Turks On the 7th, news was received that the Castle of Lepanto (Lesser Dardanelles) was attacked by the Insurgents. On the Bth, it was reported that a Ca luyer, named Gregoras, had seized on the isthmus of Corinth, and that he occupied it at the head of a vmPs of 6000 Christians, Greeks, and Albanians.— %aisle di Romans is also very hard pressed by the Christian population of Argos. The Mainotes at the lame time issuing from Eletithero-Laconia, com manded by Captain Colocothron, Es-Major in the Russian service, and Captain Pozzomita, have seized in Laconia on Misistra and Bordonni. In Massenis, a column under the orders of the Capitanachi, a very ancient family, is in military occupation of Calamathon." The following are other extracts, all tending to slew the increasing magnitude of the insurrection, - .2 a • BUCHAREST, APRIL ss. Theodore is still in the Convent of Kofroczeng, near this city. The troops of Ypsilanti have com mitted the greatest disorders here. They have pil laged the Castle of Prince Boancowan, which was supplied with a fine library. Oa the 15th a letter was received from the Caimacans at Rndschuck, in stigating the Boyars still here to get rid of Theo- dore by some means or other, and to send three De puties to Rudschuck. This advice, however, has not produced the desired result. Theodore remains, and will not permit any of the Boyars to leave the town. On the 18th Theodore wrote a letter to Ypsilanti, full of menaces, on account of the mischief done by his troops ; but the effect of this epistle is not yet known. Theodore has caused five of his own men to be decapitated for plundering. We have, as yet, no letters from Constantinople,) .the communication bring interrupted. It is said, however, that more than eighty persons, belonging to the first Greek families, have been massacred there. The Turks have not yet passed the Danube, but they are assembling troops on the right sank. The Aus trian agents at Jassy and at Galacz have had the good fortune to save the lives of a number of Turks, the former sir, and the latter thirty, whom they con cealed in their hotels, and afterwards sent to Brailow.

VIENNA. MAY 9. Accounts from Constantinople and Odessa leave no doubt that Alexander Suzzo, late Hospodar of Wal lachia, who died on the 10th of March, was poisoned, because the authors of the insurrection had commu nicated their plan to him, but he refused to take part, and they were afraid of being betrayed. This crime is generally attributed to his relation, Michael Suzzo, Hospodar of Moldavia. So much is certain, that this Prince, at the moment he raised the standard of re volt, stabbed with his own hand the Boyar Bibica, an old man, equally respectable for his years and for his attachment to the Sultan's Government, because he had dissuaded him from his enterprize. The fugitive family of Suzzo has safely arrived at Odessa. The departure of the Greeks residing in that town and neighbourhood to join the insurgents, con tinues : as well as the sending of ammunition, arms, and money. _ _ _ In Servia tranquillity still prevails ; but Ypsilanti does his utmost to induce that province to form an alliance with Greece. But the Porte is also nego. dating with the Servians, through the medium of Deputies, whom they have sent to Constantinople, and whom the Greek Patriarch has been obliged, by order of the Government, to receive into his Palace: it is not known whether it is to protect them from the rage of the Turkish populace, or to keep guard over them. In the latter end of March and the beginning of April, several distinguished Greeks were beheaded , at Constantinople, and the Archbishops of Ephesus, Nicomedia, Chalcedon, Derkon, and Heraclea im prisoned and put to the torture. The four had joined in signing the Anathema issued by the Patri arch against Ypsilanti. The metropolitans of Adria nople and Salonichi are likewise imprisoned. In general the utmost rigour is exercised against the Greeks : the Turks are all armed, which gives rise to numerous excesses. The Christians no longer ven ture out of their houses: trade is stagnant, and no ready money to be seen. MOLDAVIA, APRIL 20. The following is the Oath which Prince Ypsilanti has caused his troops to take: " As a true believing Christian, and son of our Catholic Apostolic Church, I swear by the name of the Mose Hum Goo, by the name of Ova Los:misses Czars:, and by the name of the HOLY Tammy, to remain faithful to my religion and my coun try : I swear to be united with all my Christian brethren for the freedom of our country : I swear to shed the last drop of my blood for the defence of my religion and my country : I swear to die with my brethren for the freedom of my country : I swear to kill even my own brother, if I find bins to be a traitor to the country : I swear to oh:) , my superiors, for the defence of my country : I swear not to look back till I have expelled the enemy of my country and of my religion : I swear to take up arms, on all occasions, when I learn that a corps of Christians marches against our tyrants, and to invite all my friends and acquaintance to follow me s I swear, at all times, to look upon our enemies, the Turks, with hatred and contempt; I never will lay down my arms till the country is free, and the enemies are extirpated: I swear to shed my blood, a nd to con quer the enemies of my religion, or to die as a martyr for Jesus Coster: lastly, I swear by the mystery of the Eucharist, and will be condemned at the hour of death not to approach the Holy Sacrament, if I do not fulfil all that I have just vowed be fore the image of Ova Lout Jams Quaver Accounts from Rome, of the 12th of May, state that the Prince of CALABRIA had arrived there to escort his Royal father home to Naples. They were to take their departure on the 14th. Yesterday the Duke of YORK, the Duchess of GLOUCESTER, Princess AUGUSTA, and Princess So rime MATILDA, visited his MAJESTY. The Duchess of CLARENCE rode to Kensington yesterday morning, on a visit to the Duchess of KENT. Yesterday the Duchess of KENT and a large party dined with Prince LEOPOLD at Marlborough House. The KING'S Coronation Robes, together with those of the Royal Dukes, ate finished, and are to be seen by those only who can obtain an order from persons high in office at Carlton Palace. The train is made of crimson velvet, seven yards in length, and will be borne by seven persons. It is embroidered with a deep gold border, interspersed with roses of gold, and here and there a plume of, feathers in silver, which give it a pleasing relief. It is lined thrcughout with ermine, which was purchased for the occasion in France, and intended for theCoronat ion of Lout s XVI I I. The under dress and the dramatic robes are entirely covered with silver and gold, and are extremely mas• sive and costly; indeed, it is much doubted if his MA-- misres health and strength will enable him to sustain, for the requisite length of time the ceremony will ne cessarily occupy (should the Coronation take place), the enormous weight of the whole dress. The robes of the Royal Dukes are likewise splendid, but, of course, less expensively decorated than those of the KING. The Report of the Forgery Punishment Mitigation Bill was received, and agreed to by the House of Commons last night; when Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH said, that giving way to the opinion of others, he should move to omit from the provisions of this Bill forgery of Wills, of Marriage Registers, and of Trans fers of Stock, and to leave the law, as regarded the punishment of those offences as it stood at present, Death. It is now confidently expected, that the House of Commons will conclude the business of the Ses sion by the 20th of June. An adjournment of a few days will then take place, to atlord the Lords an opportunity of bringing up the business before them; and a prorogation will probably take place in the last week in June. _ THE ARMS: Wednesday, the 3d Battalion of Foot Guards, com manded by Colonel Curnettow, were reviewed in Tamar Terrace Field, Plymouth, by Major. General Sir DENIS PACE, who was pleased to express him self highly satisfied with their discipline and soldier like appearance. Yesterday, the Ist Battalion of the 3d Regiment of Guards, under the command of Colonel BARNET, had a grand field day In Hyde Park; in which some new manoeuvres took place, mach to the satisfaction of their Officers, and several Military Gentlemen. Yesterday morning Prince RATAPE, of Madagascar, went to the Riding School at Pimlico, to view the evolutions of the 9th Lancers, under the command of Colonel PiTERS, by whose exertions and directions the Lancers' exercise has been brought to such a great degree of perfection. Lieutenant limn and a Ser jeant-Majdr of the Scots Greys particularly distin• guished themselves in the attack and defence. The whole Went off extremely well, and the Prince ap pearedhighly delighted with al the manoeuvres. The Prince came at twelve and remained .till one; he was attended by an interpreter and two servants; he was dressed in a long shawl, blue trowsers, and shoes. Major-General Lord E. SomEnsrr, on Thursday week reviewed the 19th Lancers, about four miles from Manchester, in the presence of thousands of spectators. During one of the rapid movements' three of the horses fell with their riders, who were much' hurt ; but the animals, the instant they re.. covered their feet, resumed their places in the ranks without their riders. The Officers and Privates of the South Devon Re giment of Militia have received orders to assemble at Plymouth on Wednesday, the 6th of June, to be trained and exercised for twenty-one days. The Royal First Devon Yeomanry Cavalry will assemble at Honiton, on Thursday, for six days per manent duty, exclusive of the days of marching, by order of Colonel Lord RoLt.s. Orders have been received for the First, or East Devon Regiment of Militia, to be trained and exer cised, at Exeter, for twenty one days, to commence on the Sd of July next. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE The Hetty, another of the vessels which went on the specu lation for seals to New Shetland, has reached the Southern coast. We believe she sailed only a few days later than the vessel which arrived about a week since from this newly-discovered Colony, and does not bring any further intelligence of interest. Monday, the Two Friends, Pate, of Bridgewater, with a I cargo of sundries, for Falmouth, caught fire by accident, off the Land's End. The crew, and part of the cargo and m aterials, have been saved by the Preventive Boat's crew on that station.

Mr. Jacoss, the young man lately drowned in the passage between Dover and Calais, had his panta loons lined with bars of gold. We have the satisfaction to state to -the Public, on the authority of letters of a very recent date, received yesterday from Malta, that the plague has not only been confined to that pact of the Lazaretto allotted to the infected ships' companies from Alexandria, but that even amongst these unfortunates, not a symptom of the malady, or indeed disease of any kind, had existed for nineteen days previous to our letters being dispatched ; and as everything susceptible belonging to them, capable of communicating the infection, had been destroyed, there cannot exist a doubt that, from the promptitude and efficiency of the system pursued in this Lazaretto, ten out of twenty-three in dividuali, placed in no common circumstances of plague danger, have been thus happily saved to hu manity and to their families. By recent accounts from Zante, we are informed that no fewer than 15,0(X) Greek refugees, from the Morea chiefly, have thrown themselves on the pro tection and humanity of the lonian Government.-- They consist of men, women, and children, of all ages, completely destitute of every means of sub sistence, and they have dispersed themselves in all the different Islands; but by far the greatest num bers have found refuge in Zante. All the lonian Isles enjoy perfect tranquillity.-.- There is no particular information of the passing events in the Morea ; but, from the amount of the emigration, it may be inferred that the alarm is ex cessive. It was indeed confidently stated, that a Re volution had taken place in the Island of Hydra, one of the richest in the Archipelago, inhabited wholly • by Greeks, and to which the greatest number of ves sels under that flag belong. The inquisitive in matters of Religious opinion will derive a high gratification from the perusal of the new work, treating at large of the Religions anti Religious Opinions of all Nations. Besides exhibit. ing, with impartiality, the Doctrines and Practices of all Christian Sects, it treats at large of the present state of Religion among the Jews, of the tenets and ceremonials of the Mahonledans, and of the various superstitions of the Pagan and Idolatrous tribes and nations spread over Asia, Africa, and America. The addition of 100 engravings renders it one of the most luclightful volumes in any language. e,Pf.m..•••
