The genevil conversation on the Exchange is a war between the Russians and Turk,; and there is every appearance, from the intehieence received from the Continent, that this isnportapt ent is not far distant. Tax Fossicis MA ftgar.=The Chilian and Rrussian Bonds are particularly heavy, and nothing can be done in them. Every account from Constantinople tends to con, firm the last atrocious act of the Turkish Govern ment in the massacre of the Sciot hostages, and the desolation of their country even to the massacre of children. Letters from Constantinople, to the ?.9th of May, detail the greatest korrot s, especially as to the stir of slave.. The children of Scio under seven years of age, whom no one will put chase, are drowned. The subject was last night mentioned in the House of Commons. Mr.W.Surrn said, that not ten or twelve had been massacred, but eighty•five. He was in formed one who was in Constantinople when this massacre took place, though he could not witness it, that the Turks empalttd six persons alive, whose only crime was that they were hostages. Sir JAUES MACK.' INTOsti sta ted that the markets of Constantinople and Smyrna were glutted with Greek ladies and children , torn from their parents, their families, their hu • bands, and their homes, in order to gratify the brutal desires of Mahommedan voluptuaries. The Marquis of Los• DONDERRY, from whom some information wa, sought on the subject, did not contradict these statements; bat said that the British Government and its agents were not re ponsible for such .itroclties. At a late hour this forenoon we received a German Mail, with Papers to the 17th instant. The Austrian Obseiver, a Journal distinguished for its hostility to the came of the Greeks, in an article of great length, written ith i Wonted bias, gives the following la mentable accounts of the late events at Constantii.orle and Scio : VIENNA, JUNE 16. Accounts ftorn ConstantElop:e of the 25th May: The day before the commencement of the llama zan (20:h May) were di,tinguiihed by bloodshed.— Ten of the most considerable Sciots, who had hitherto been in prison, and thrice that number of individuals, accused of correspondence with the Insurgents, were executed between the 16th and 13th. As many of these men were connected with the richest families of the Franks, their fate has excited considerable inte rest. The catastrophe of Scio, the most dreadful event that has hitherto occurred in the history of, the Grzek insurrection, owes its frightful character to the circumstances that attended its origin:— Neither the great personai influence of the Captain l'acha, nor his unceasing exertions, could check the torrent, which has burst its bounds. Except the 2.0 -tillages known by the name of Mastic, which were saved by the activity and humanity of the European Consuls, and in the limits of which nobody, not even fugitives, were allowed to be touched, the whole Wand, the city, and the country is changed into a licyap of ruins : of its 100,000 inhabitants the half arc destroyed or vanished, and the other half de prived of all the comforts of life for perhaps a whole. generation. It is very remarkable that all the horrors of the present state of things, the desolation of Scio, and e ICII the laze executions in the capital, make a far weaker impression on the Greeks than on all the other i:shabitants of these countries. They seem to regard all this with indifference. Who would believe, that almost in sight of the smoking ruins of Scio, the standard of rebellion could be hoisted in the Island of Mitylene; and yet a band of furious Ipsariots has succeeded in opening in this kland also an abyss, which, at the first approach of a Turkish force will devour everything. It is uncertain to what quarter the operations of the great Turkish fleet will be directed ; it is ex pec►cd with trembling, now at Tine, now at SAMOS, and now at Ipsara ; the Greeks place their last hope on their ships, whether for resistance or flight. They have above lea vessels, including a considerable number of ti e-ships, with which they cruize often, very near the Turkish &Q. A second fleet is fitting out, in which the Janissa ries have offered to serve. When this fleet sails, there will be only one ship of the line in The harbour. We know little or nothing of the situation of the l' , lorea and neighbourii , g countries. It is certain, that since the failure of the attack on Napoli de Romania, Tirade some months ago, neither that fortress (which is defended by 4.50 pieces of cannon, and well fur- ~~: . z.:v~"17 nished fora long time), nor. Motion, Coron, or i eras, have been threatened. views*, JUNI 1.5.---MctaWques, 17- —Beak Share 770 4-5.- CONSTANTINOPLE, MAY Se. A cry of horror will resound - through Europe; when the new cruelties in Selo - are made known; all are massacred: even the seventy-eight Prelates, who were detained as hostages, have been cut to pieces in 'the fort. The generous French Consul, Degeon, is the most to be pitied: he had gone into the villages and rroclairned the Turkish amnesty, and at the same time pledged himself for the Sultan's giving pardon. The inhabitants, on this, surrendered all their aims: on which the Asiatics fell on thirteen villages, ant' executed a general massacre. All fell without de fence under the sword of the Turks, who behaved with the most refined cruelty. We understand, by letters just received from Alex andria, in Egypt, and which have been communi cated to Government, that the Grand Seignior has given to the Pacha of Egypt the Island of Cyprus, from which the most beneficial effects are now ex pected to arise. About two-thirds of this fine island, which lies at present waste, is to be brought into cul -1 tivation, from which produce of 'peat importance will be raised, that will more than repay any expense that may be incurred. This must give great joy to the Greeks, who form the majority of the inhabitants, and who have laboured under great disadvantages from the Turkish rulers there. French Papers to Thursday have been received.— An article from Odessa, dated June Ist, says—•" It appears certain that the Principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia will not be evacuated, but that only the Asiatic troops have been sent beyond the Danube, and replaced by European troops. But this fbrms, pe:haps, a clause in the Convention concluded at Constantinople under the mediation of the English and Austrian Ambassadors. There is still a garrison of 5000 men at Bucharest." The Augsburg and Nuremberg accounts continue to intimate that the Asiatics only had left the Princi palities, and that the evacuation was still doubtful. In the Chamber of Deputies, on Tuesday, a discus sion took place upon the project of law for the regu lation of the Customs. M. LAINE, who opened, quoted the example of England in her severe com mercial restrictions. " England," he said, " now imitated everywhere, had first adopted the system, and it was not, therefore, very remarkable, that, find ing it enforced against her, she should be inclined to change her practice. She had derived from prohi• bitions all the adva..tages that she could hope for ; she had accumulated immense capitals ; her in dustry had been so much developed, that she was obliged to seek for a large outlet, and perhaps on this account she had come to the point of say ing, now we will receive you, only receive us.' " M. LAIN& declared his opinion in favour of continuing and extending the relations of the kingdom with the Indies, with Brazil, and the Havanna)). He strongly objected to the imposition of a duty on foreign sugars, sufficiently high to enable the colonies to sell their produce at 83f. as was proposed in the Project, point ing out the danger which would result from fixing by law an arbitrary price upon commodities. The Ex-Minister concluded by proposing to reduce to 25c. the duty on the exportation of wine, for what ever country destined.—An interruption succeeded, when M. de PoMPIERES endeavoured to speak, and his opponents to protect themselves against his speech by cries of " Question!' He, however, persisted, and was heard. The greatest part . of his speech consisted in the defence of a free trade.— " Can you hope," said he, "that in prohibiting the introduction of foreign produce, foreigners will not prohibit yours. If you can conceive such a hope," added he, " I will refer you to our history for its frus tration. In 1666 Colbert imposed heavy duties upon articles of foreign manufacture; Holland remonstrated, and, on the refusal to alleviate them, she prohibited our wines, our brandies, and our manufacture." Various amendments were then proposed. One Member suggested that the duties on sugars from the French Colonies should be reduced one-fourth on their present amount. Another, that the duties on sugar should be reduced to 10f. per quintal. The last propo sition was rejected, and the farther discussion adjourned to the following day. The Journal de Moine et Loire of the 20th instant, says :—" This morning Generals Berton, Delalande, and Baudriller, were conveyed from the Castle of Saumur in the direction of Poitiers. The carriage in which they were placed was escorted by a great pact l of the Regiment of Carabineers of Monsieur." American Papers arrived this morning to the Ist of June. FRENCH TREATY.

We understand that the magnificent paintings in the grand entrance hall at Wanstead House have been purchased at the auction by Fiawais WYLLNAM MARTIN, Esq. formerly of Chat combe Priory, to be placed in his princely residence at Leeds Castle, in the comity of Kent. These noble paintings, three i.: numb::r, are 16 feet 10 inches-high, and 12 feet 10 inclis with. f.:ASSALI came from Italy with numerous attendants, and re mained at Wanstead House during two years to compltre chefs d'oeuvres of his celebrated pencil.

The colossal statue of the Duke of WiLLINGTON, is now re moving from the yard at Pimlico to the place destined for it► erection in Hyde Perk. A part of the Park wall has been broken down to afford it admission, and it is slowly moved :dung by means of capstans and rollers. It is vow calculated that about 240,000 hands of persons, chiefly children, are employed in the spinning of cotton-thread or twist. These make, it is said, as much thread by the power of steam or water, and the application of the new-improve. machinery, as could have heen done formerly by 28,000,600 per sons by the fingers only. The Dublin Papers of the 26th inst. arc filled with accounts of the progress of the famine hi Ireland. We forbear to enter into the heart-rending details; they present a picture of aggra vated misery that must excite pity in the ha-dest heat, and net to be contemplated without terror by the boldest. A letter published in the Mayo Constiluhen, and signed " Dennes Bingham and Robert Scarlett, Clk." states, with re gard to Erris, that " thousands have subsisted for some weeks past upon sea-weed and wild vegetable subsistence, and we ate firmly persuaded if they continue much longer in this situation, - that the living yid scarcely be ill/Wad to bury the dead." The following is part of a letter from a Clergyman in the county of Galway: " I an, daily witnessing scenes of more harrowing distress than eye ever saw, or tongue told. You know the scarcity to which we have been for some time exposed. Conceive the agony of each family seeing the stock of provisions decrease daily—no prospect of relief, and famine rapidly approaching. I had been labouring in public and in private to preach patience. It was not necessary.. No reproach was uttered—no angry feeling was evinced—but families clung together with closer affection, as if with-the certain knowledge of being soon separated for ever.— But the slow and horrible death by famine ! At first the hunger was raging—it then gave place in some to successive faintings and depression—in others to violent fever—some struggled others sank at once—but the wasted forms of tke poor creatures —the glazed eye—the hcllow and sunk cheek !—I have seen, in the exercise of my duties, father and son dying by each other's side—and the infant, yet living, hanging upon the breast of its just departed mother! GOD have mercy upon us, and stop this dreadful calamity!" A letter from •Curacoa, dated May 4, says—" Ge ne! al Morales has still a considerable force under his command, and was, according to the last accounts, on the coast near the Lake of Maracaybo. The last arrivals from Coro bring accounts that no vessels would be allowed to touch on the coast in possession of the Colombians for the space of 14 days. This measure had been adopted to prevent the escape by sea of Morales or his troops."

FIRES.—Last night. between ten aid eleven o'clocl:, 7. Fre broke out in the premises of WHITE, boat-bui:der, Fuumain-stairs, notherbithe, which hi 4 few minutes became very alarming, particuLtly on account of the hou- , es near IL lees g mostly built of wood, and the street, ler passage, scarcely twice feet A number a engines soon arrived, but, owing to the scarcity of weer, could render but little service, and the 11 .rnes continued raging with the utninst fury for about twenty when the premises were entirely destroyed. About this time :hc .djoining prentists,.uccupted by Mr. LvaNs as a granary, whicii were very extensive, and heavily stored, took lire, and burnt so furiously as to bid defiance to all exertion to extinguish it ; an the whole of those GaiidinLs were also entirely &grayest, toge ther with the stores c , ottatned in them. The Old Justice pubii.:- house caught fire, but fortunately was soon extinguished by the exertiens of the firemen ; had this house been consumed, the consequence Must have been dreadful, as the adjoining hut'dings are all of wood, and in so confined a situation as to render it al most impossible to afford any assistance. . . . A most destructive hre broke out last night, between twelve and one o'clock, in the house of Sir. hi:a ten, siiversmitk an.i jeweller, at the corner of Adam-street, Adelphi, which quickly reduced the whole of those extensive and beautiful premises t s ashes. In the short space of an hour after the fire was disco vered the flames had communicated to every floor from the cel lar to the attic, and were seen issuing through every casement into the street. Scarcely an article out of the valuabie property was saved, owing to the rapid extension of the flames, and the delay that arose before the porter, the only individual in char:e of the house, could be alarmed. It was nearly an hour after the lire burst forth before water in sufficient quantity was pro cured, and this, together with the absence of most of the eagiues at the fire at Rutherhithe, prevented the flames from being got under as soon as could have been wished. At three o'clock no thing but the remnant of the walls and burning spars of the di:- ferent floors remained. A party of the Foot Guards, from the King's Mews Barracks, promptly attended on the spot, and were of essential service in keeping off the crowd for the btttet playing of the *nines. Thursday aticr.'oun, a fire broke out in a small wood shed, in the north-west corner of the farming buildings of .Me. Janzs Bel oN, jun. at Bullet) Green Farm, in the Parish of Bramfotd, near Ipswich. It was almost immediately discovered by a fe male servant, who had sufficient presence of mind to let the horses out of the stable, by which act they were all preserveu. The fire, with inconceivable rapidity, communicated to a she.;, granary, barn, and stable, all adjoining ;also to two clover stacks, a bean stack, a quantity of wheat in the straw, tO or 30 coombs of dressed wheat iu sacks, all of which were consumed, togeth-r with a tumbril with tares, all the cat t-harness and implewents in the barn and stable, and a fat hog. It was soon leu;.el im practicable to save the farming buildings, which, with the Louse, form a square. The preservation of :be latter was oh) r ttly efiected, the back-house being destroyed, and a great part of the roof of the house. The furniture was all got out, but was considi r ably injured in the removal. Two men, of suspicious a:irea. - - atice, were observed near the house a short tittle b. tore the tiro broke out, and no doubt exists but that it was the tn.:Le/heal act of some incendiaries.
