There now seems little doubt that the members of. the Holy Alliance have been scared from the princi pal object for which they are met at Verona— that of dictating to Spain and Portugal their form of government, or, in other words, restoring that po litical and religious tyranny under which the Penin sula had so long groaned. That the Emperors of AUSTRIA and Russia have not been easily prevailed Upon to relinquish such a darling object, is certain ; and it is equally certain that no principle of right or justice, but their fears, has caused this change in their policy. But, notwithstanding the present state of the Peninsula is such as would deter any prudent Go vernment from interfering in it, yet we suspect that France, with Austria, Russia, and Prussia, would net have hesitated in forming a league for that pur pose if they could have secured the consent of the British Government, without which they neither dare nor can stir with any prospect of success. Indeed, as to Russia and Austria, neither Power could carry on an offensive war for a single month without a Loan, which they could only raise in this country. But if the state of the Peninsula some months ago was such as to render all interference hazardous, it is doubly so now. In Spain, the Constitutional Go vernment is more firmly consolidated, and the insur rection, though not annihilated, is no longer formi dable. Besides, Portugal is undisturbed, and a Treaty of Defensive Alliance has been formed between Spain-itnd Portugal, by which, we believe, the latter Power engages to furnish an army of thirty thousand • • men to. Spain should it be invaded. But though Spain and Portugal may be safe from the machinations of the Congress, this is not the case with the Greeks. To the etyrnal disgrace of Chris tian Europe, she has witnt.ssed thousands of the Greeks sacrificed to the wanton and indiscriminating butchery of the Turks, without stretching out a hand, or speaking a word to rescue them. Aban doned by all those to whom they were entitled to look fur assistance, they have still kept alive the spirit of liberty among themselves, and, notwithstanding all their losses, are still sufficiently formidable to maintain the struggle; and if the Biitish Govern ment would but interfere in their behalf, Greece might still be free. To the accounts we have bad to give of the entire desolation of Scio, weahis day add an almost equally painful detail of Turkish massacres at Cyprus ; sixty two towns and villages have wholly disappeared, and with them a population of IEI,OOO persons. The women and children were, for the most part, taken and con fined fix several days in private houses, without foci& when tlise who did not perish with hunger were burnt i:• their houses. The details of this horrid butchery will be found in another column. There have been periods in the history of England and of Europe, shen such ouu ages on humanity would not have gone unpunished !

Sir ROBERT and Lady WILSON arrived at Dover on Wednesday evening, by the Calais steam-packet.

These Papers contain a letter from Curacoa, dated the 31st August, which gives the following details of the military operations in that quarter :—" General Morales, who was believed to be slain, is again on the field of action. A Danish schooner arrived here yesterday from the Main, with General Cecilia and Staff, and forty other eommii sioned Oflicers of Spain ; they publicly declare that Gen. Morales is such a tyrant that they will not serve any longer under him ; to ey hare, therefore, abandoned the cause of the mother country.— The Spanish frigate Legiera, of 56 . guns; anchored in this harbour today, under command of Commodore Laherrde ; he also expresses his disapprobation of Morales' conduct, and has of his own accord aban doned the cause of Spain, he will sail no more against Colombia. General La Torre ailed from hence two days ago in the Dutch schooner Cornelia, under convoy of the Dutch brig of war Kempham; for Porto Rico, of Which place he is appointed Governor. General Morales, with 700 men, is at Aruba. The . Dutch Government, mistrusting his honour, has or dered the inhabitants of Aruba under arms, and the Dutch brig of war now here will sail hence with troops to-morrow. So you see all is lost to Spain. Three days ago,four Spanish brigs arid three schooners hove too off this harbour, and communicated with the shore: they had on board nine hundred men, and reported that they were going against Maracaibo. The Colombian schooner of war St. Ella, Captain Hoffner, is in port, refitting, having received damage in an action with the Spanish brig of war Hercules, off Laguirai eight days ago. She was in company with the Colombian brig Condore, Captain Pelot, which vessel was captured by the Hercules, after twenty five minutes hard action."

DESOLATION OR4IIIMIS. The German Papers contain the following accounts Rf the desolation of Cyprus by the Tarksr TRIESTE, OCTOBER s. Since the dreadful massacres which took place in the island of Cyprus the summer before last, the wane of news from that island made us imagine that trap• quillity had succeeded these first excesses. %ye i n .. dulged in this pleasing idea with the more confidence, as there has never been the smallest symptom or indi. cation of insurrection in the island of Cyprus : a letter written by the English Consul to one of his relations, who has resided in our city since the troubles of the East, has dispelled this illusion. This letter, which cer. taiuly cannot be suspected, is to the following effect: " CYPRUS, AUGUST 15. Sixty-two towns and villages in this unliany island have wholly disappeared : only their ruin re main to attest the.barbarity of their destroyer;, a n d yet the rage of these blood-stained monsters is not yet appeased. A band of wretches very lately re paired to Morphon, where they destroyed everythin g with fire and sword: the women and children were for the most part taken, and confined for seveial days in pi ivate houses, without food : those who %%etc not destroyed by hunger, were burn., together with the houses. Eve:) , house is .marked by raurdeis in all parts of the island. The Christians are hunted like wild beasts. " It is chiefly upon the Churches and the Insis ters of the Christian religion, that these stupid Turks continue to exercise their fury. At St. Niassa, alter killing er taking prisoners the inhabitants in the time cif peace, they burnt the images of the Church, anl transformed the edifice into a stable. At this y.o- Rojatissa, the Church of Aspro-Panagia was changed into a mosque. Very lately, the Zabit (Sub-Gover nor) of Cyrenia, at the head of a band of furious wretches, entered the Convent of Pan:eleimon, and after having saddled and bridled the Monks, like beasts of burden, they mounted on their backs - , and so rode about the country. Some of these tram tu nate men expired from fatigue. The Governor of the Island, a wan equally ferocious and stupid, lately sent hi, colas (the perf"rmer of his orders) to the mo nastery of Kicou, where some caloyers (anchorer , ) still remained. This officer, no less cruel than hi; master, made several of these poor solitaries exrire iii tortures ; among others, father Sylvester, who was known throughout this Island. The rest dispersed, leaving the monastery deserted. " The Turks then set fire to the environs. The conflagration continued twenty-three days, gradually extending to all the neighbouring districts. Several fine forests of fruit -trees, vineyards, &c. have fallen a prey to the flames. The damage done by this fire is incalculable. A track of country thirty-five leagues in extent, formerly so remarkable for its high culti vation and fertility, is now nothing more than a heap of ashes. ."That part of the island which is occupied by the troops of Mahomed Ali, Paella of Egypt, alone erijo:i tranquillity. Salib Bey,who command, for the Pacha, makes his mops observe the strictest discipline. If Mahorned Ali should withdraw his troops, as there is reason to fear, there would be no longer any secu rity even for the Franks."—(lt is the English Con , ul who speaks.) Of till (Cum Mew ' thetc 'A R. rinth andinothee at Larissa. The extraordinary pay which CnOuasofttn gave' this.army must have ex hausted the treasures of Au ?ACLU. of Janina. — Three naval expeditions,iihd some other armaments by land, must have given a sensible brow to the trea sures of the SULTAN. In a letter from Rome it is stated that the Allied Sovereigns are expected to visit that city, after the Congress at Verona. The accounts from the frontters of Spain are still at variance with each other—MlN4 is alternately vic torious and defeated. Amidst these contradictions, however, one Paper asserts that, up to the sth Octo ber, there had been no battle. The Toeouse Journal gives intelligence of that date, in which it is stated that MINA had not fired a single musket. He wa% entirely occupied in the distribution of his troops.—.— Reinforcements were constantly arriving,. and it was expected that the army of Catalonia would be 30,000 strong before the end of the month. By the Treaty . of Offensive Alliance which is in negotiation between Spain and Portugal, the latter country, in the event of an invasion of the Peninsula, is to furnish an auxiliary army of 30,000 men. An article from Vienna, dated the 11th inst. says —" We are assured that the Duke of WELLINGTON has instructions from the Cabinet of St. James's of a most pacific nature, and, in consequence, quite op posed to the wishes which have been here openly ex pressed by some Ultras, who talk of nothing else but interfering in the affairs of the Peninsula with arms in their hands, and dispensing the Constitutional as semblies of Madrid and Lisbon by the lance of Cos sacks. The system of Great Britain tends, on the contrary, to preserve peace in the West as well as in the East." French Funds, Oct. 22.—Five per Cents. opened at 931. 65c. closed at 931. 60c. Private letters from Lisbon state, that preparations for fitting out another Expedition for the support of Bahia continued with the greatest alacrity, and it seems that it was to be conducted upon a scale greatly surpassing in magnitude that of the last—of i the arrival of which we have already had accounts. The sum of money raised upon loan had enabled the Government to proceed thus far ; and a further sum, to the extent of a million sterling, about to be con• tracted for, would furnish ample means for the ac complishment of the object in question. Last night, at ten o'clock, his MAJESTY arrived at his Palace in Pall-Mall, in his travelling carriage and four, from Windsor.

" The desolation of Scio, which owes part of its misfortunes to the imprudent zeal of Mr. D. who drew the Greeks into the snares of the Tut ks, by pub lishing a deceitful amnesty, in which we suppose be believed, cannot be compared with the ravages ex:A cised in Cyprus by the Mahametans. We long re fused to credit the new crimes which have deluged with blood the territories of Paphos, Amathont, and Famagousta ; but the veil is torn, and the enemy of the Christian world no longer conceals his monstrous deeds. *Since the month of July, 25,00 j Christians, of all ages and both sexes, have fallen under the hands of the executioners—that is, the Turkish soldiery; for the stake or the gibbet would not suffice for the im patient cruelty of the circumcised tigers. Seventy four villages, containing a population of 18,000 Chris tians, aie no more; the old men and the married wo men have perished; the rest have been sold, to be conveyed into the interior of Asia Minor, except the children under four years of age, who have been killed or thrown into the sea. The Churches, the Monasteries, in a district of forty square leagues,. have disappeared; the Priests and Nlonks, witlout exception, have received the crown of martyrdom, and perished in dreadful torments. Yet there has been no insurrection in Cyprus; but the will of the Sultan has sworn the extirpation pf Christianity : be strikes, and the Egean Sea and dre islands are dyed with blood. Be not surprised if the mise'rabl'e Journal pub lished here does not disclose such crimes ; they would injure the cause it has embraced, and the wish of the Turks, ..of whom he is the echo, is to see the ()reeks annihilatn. I will point out another time the men who are base mouth to have speculated on the mis fortunes of the Christians, the foi tunes acquired by the sale of an asylum and protection to the wretched. and the monopoly of blood eiercised in these days of carnage and mourning. It is not yet time to speak. Above all, I must not omit to mention that the part of Cyprus occupied by one of the Cummandeis of Mahoincd Ali, Pacha of Egypt, is tranquil ; the Chris: tians are protected there ; accordingly, it is publicly said at Constantinople and here, that the Viceroy of Egypt is a renegado,,a traitor, and that as soon as it can be done, he will have the merited fate of‘Ali, Pacha of Joonina."
