/.~ - - • .•, s '''t 1 c < ' ' 1_ ND TURKS. •• CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 5. The following Yafia (writing) was fixed upon the corpse of the Greek Patriarch: " As it is a duty incumbe nt upoo Superiors and Chiefs, of whatever nation they may be, to watch day and night over the persons of those who are un der their superintendence, to be acquainted with all their actions, and to denounce to the Gevernraent all the crimes which are committed among them ; and as the Patriarchs are placed as Superiors and Chiefs of the subjects which live in security under the sha dow of the Imperial Power, they ought to be, above all, blameless, honest, faithful, and upright. " Endowed with these qualities, thermust, after having made themselves acquainted with the good and bad dispositions of the People, check the wicked betimes, by warning and advice: if these are not suf ficient, by punishments according to the precepts of their religion, and by this means discharge a part of the debt of gratitude which they owe to the Sublime Porte, for the favours and privileges which they enjoy under its beneficent shadow. • " But the faithless Greek Patriarch, who had be fore given so many proofs of d evotedness, could not row be ignorant of the revolt and insurrection of his Nation, commenced by divers wicked men who have fergntten themselves, and suffered themselves to be led away by phantoms and devilish illusions ; and he' was therefore bound to instruct those who were igno rant of the matter, that the affair in question was a vain undertaking, which could not be accomplished ; since evil designs against the Mahometrin power and religion will never succeed, which have bcca sup ported by UOD for above 1,000 years, and will endure till the day of judgment, as has been confirmed by revelations and miracles from HEAVEN. Yet, follow ing the corruption which dwelt in his heart, he not' only neither wanted nor punishe 1 the unthinking who had been led astray, but, according to all pro bability, has himself recently taken a part, as leader ei the revolt; so that it can hardly fail that the whole Greek Nation, including many innocent and unfortu nate subjects who had not the slightest knowledge of the matter, will be almost entirely annihilated, and objects of the anger of GOD. " After the Police had been informed of the re volt, and it became generally notorious, the Sublime Porte, solely out of compassion for its poor subjects, endeavoured by mildness to bring them back to the way of safety ; and to this east issued a Proclamation to the Patriarch, which contained the ordinances and counsels adapted to the subject—together with an order to the Patriarch to send forth an anathema to all ends of the land, where it had become necessary, against those subjects who had taken part in the re• beilion: but, instead of constraining himself, and being the first to return to his duty, the faithless Pit.. arch has been, more than any other, the chief cause of the disorders which have hitherto disturbed the public t ranquillity. Communication has been ob-, tained that he was himself born in the Morea, and was concerned in all the deeds of violence which have been committed there, and in the district Ka laiorata (Kalabrita), by deluded subjects. He him self, t h erefore, is the cause of the ruin and destruc tion w lich, with the help of GOD, will fall on them. " As conviction has been obtained on all sides of his treachery, not only to the Sublime Porte, but to his own Nation, it has become necessary that his body should be removed from the earth ; and he has, consequently, been hanged, to serve as an example to others." The following is a copy of the Writing affixed to the corpse of the Bishop of Ephesus: As the Bishops of the Ottoman Empire are, as it were, the Magistrates to whom it belongs to super intend the Rajahs, it was their duty to have watched day and night within their dioceses over the conduct and proceedings, and partly by good advice, and partly by punishment, according to their laws, to check those who committed anything improper, and to give infotmation of the true state of things to the Sublime Porte, under whose protection they peace ably exercise their functions. Yet the wicked Bishop of Ephesus has not only neglected to follow this course, but it is proved that from his innate disposi tion to wickedness, he has taken an active part in the ch.orders which some conspirators had resolved to excite, but which the Officers of the Sublime Porte have succeeded in discovering. As he has thus be ta ayes! the Sublime Porte, and though it is his own Nation, it has become necessary to extirpate his ac cursed body from the face of the earth, and to in flict on it the penalty of death, as everybody may here see." In the Ali-Sherif appointing Hadschi Salich Pasha to the dignity of Grand Vizier, the Sultan says, that the late Grand Vizier , Bander le Ali Pasha, had been found wholly unfit for his office; that he was igno rant of the laws of the Empire, and of the causes of the insurrection, and " wished to save the lives cf the Greeks, whose treachery is clear to everybody, and did not see the consequences of this revolt. His great ignorance made him presumptuous, and he ventured many improper measures, e.g. to oppose the punish ment of that despicable nation, to lessen the zeal of the Mussulmen, and to undermine the existing friend ship and concord, by raising disunion among all tanks. As such conduct might have had dangerous consequences, it was necessary not only to depose, but to banish him, so that he can be no mare em ployed in the service of my Empire:'—The rest of the letter expresses the Sultan's confidence in his new • Minister. CEPHALONIA, JUNE!. We learnt yesterday, that. Vrachori, the capital of Etolia, revolted on receiving the news of the death of the Patriarch; the Turks were massacred, and the Synagogues, as well as the Mosques have been burnt down. fhe banks of Anatolia and Missolimghi bear 'tow no other flag than that of the Cross; and we reckon on the waters ut the 111orea, twenty Greek cruizers, wt:ich are daily supplied by them with provisions. Letters hum Salonichi say, that the Turks have massacred a great .part of the rich merchants; and that those who have been able to escape have taken refuge in Trickerni, an island situated in the Gulf of Velo. This port is now one of the stations of the insurgents, who communicate with those of Mount Pelican, and of the Canton of Zagora, the eastern pot of Thew.. al y. 14tters Iron} Cerigo (Cythera) say, that in Crete Statiot.:, united with the peasants of the mann- tains, closely blockade the Turks in the fortresses, where they are obliged to shut themselves up. All the islands of the Archipelago, except those of Tino and Scyros, have raised the standard of the Cross; and the commerce between Egypt and Constanti nople is wholly intercepted by the armament of the holy league of the Greeks. As for Epirus, we know that Ali Paella holds out successfully. Arta Zagori, and all the districts inhabited by the Christians, united with the Arniatolis, daily obtain some advan tages over the Turks. Macedonia and lil yria may be considered as perfectly free; •and whever turn affairs may take, it is probable that those provinces, which have never been perfectly subjected, will not fall again under the authority of the Sultan. We learn that our Government has resolved strictly to enforce the treaty of the 21st Marsh, 1800, ac cording to which the 44 Barbary Corsairs cannot navigate within forty miles west of the lonian Sea." Now the benefit of this neutrality extends, "indepen dently of the islands situated from Anlone, in the Adriatic, - to Cerigo, into the Archipelago of the , Egean Sea," which leave , a fine line of operation for the vessels fighting under the flag of the Cross, since the barbarians of Africa cannot approach the coasts of the Continent and of the Morea without directly violating the pbsitive stipulations of the treaty of 1800.

Her MAJESTY, on receipt of this strange communication, immediately wrote to Lord SIDMOUTII, that as it was without signature or address, she should consider it as anony mous till she heard from him. The following - are • correct Copies of this extraordinary Correspondence : " WHITEHALL, JULY 15, 1821.. MADAIf--4 have laid before the King your Ma jesty's letter to me of the 11th of this month, in which it is stated that your Majesty considers it necessary to inform me, that it is your Majesty's intention to be present at the ceremony of the 19th, the day tiled for his Majesty's Coronation, and you, therefore, demand that a suitable place may be appointed for your Ma jesty ; and I am commanded by the King to refer your Majesty to the Earl of Liverpool's letter to your Majesty of the 7th of May last, and to acquaint your Majesty that it is not his Majesty's pleasure to com ply with the application contained in your Majesty's letter."

" Fife House, ith May, In2i." TILE QUEEN'S REPLY. BOANOUSBURCH-11011cF, JULY 13, 1821 Five o'.Ciock, r.m. MY LORD—I have this instant received a letter, dated Whitehall, July 13, without any signature; I therefore consider it as anonymous, and shall treat it as such, till I hear from your Lordship. (Signed) " CAROLINE R. " To the Right Hon. Lord Viscount Sidmouth." The advices received in town to-day, make it highly probable that an open rupture has at length taken place between Russia and the Porte. There are ac counts from Constantinople, by the way of Odessa, to the Bth of June, which state, that Baron STRO• GONOFF, the Russian Ambassador, had shut himself up in his house at Bruy ukdere, with the determina tion of having no farther communication with the Turkish Government until he received answers to the dispatches which he had sent to St. Petersburgh. And by a Hamburgh Mail which arrived this fore noon, we are put in possession of an official state ment of a correspondence that has passed between' Baron STROGONOFF and the Porte, in which the for-, mer complains, in specific terms, that the Treaties', between the two countries have been broken. — There is even a report from Breslau, that the Rus sians have passed the Turkish frontier, though for a reason different from that advanced by Baron 41E060NOVF. We subjoin the accounts by the Ham -1 burgh Mail, apd shall content ourselves for the pre sent with observing that, whether war has yet ac tually broken out or not between Russia and Tur key, we have never entertained any doubt that to this complexion matters would come at last. Although the Emperor ALEXA NDER had even had none of those insidious views which have been ascribed to him, the circumstances which have recently arisen out of tl.e Greek Insurrection, have created a pretext for inter ference, too plausible and too consistent with Russian policy, not to be greedily taken advantage of; ODESSA (M.%Y 7,0), JUNE llis Excellency the Governor of Odessa has com municated to the merchants two Official Notes, ad dres;ed by Baron Stroganoff, the Russian 'Minister at Constantinople, to his Excellency Count Langeron, the Military Governor, in order that the merchants may take those measures which they may judge the most expedient. In the first Note, Baron Stiogo noff states, that on the 16th he had denounced the declaration of the Porte respecting the measures taken to prevent the free importation of corn from the channel of Constantinople: he had demonstrated, in the clearest manner, how these measures violated the existing treaties, and affected the interests of Russian commerce ; he had shewn these measures to bc the less excusable, as he had, in a conference on the 25th of April (27th May), made to the Reis Effendi the most friendly offers, to do everything in his power to sup ply the capital with corn. The step which he thought himself bound to take, seems not to have been taken into consideration; for, though clothed in an official form, no answer has been returned by the Porte, which has even given fresh grounds for complaint, by refusing to two Russian ships the usual Fit mans, to sail out of the Dardanelles. Thus, to violation of Articles 30 and 31, of the Treaty of Commerce, is added the violation of Articles 32 and 33, though none of them admit of any limitation. Urged by the just remonstrances of the subjects of his Imperial Majesty, and seeing the fruitlessness of his previous endeavours to bring the Sublime Porte to more equitable principles, he is obliged to protest against the consequences of the present proceedings. In consequence of the orders of the Imperial Court, to which he has communicated what has happened, he declares the Sublime Porte answerable for all the losses, without exception, which may accrue from the ' 1 embargo laid by it on the corn ships from the Black Sea. This new kind of reclamation, caused by the arbitrary measures of the local Government, is en tirely distinct from the main negotiation, the discus sion or indefinite adjournment of which is left entirely to the will of the Sultan. The object of the present Notes relates to claimsformerly recognised by both parties as inviolable, and to those fundamental prin ciples, the uniform and regular form of which is essential to a state of peace. The second Note, addressed to the Chamber of Commerce, states the measures which his Excellency has taken in consequence of the interruption by the Porte, to the exportation of corn from the Black Sea, and points out to the Board all the steps that' must be taken to enable him, at a future time, to enforce the claims of those who may suffer loss by the pro ceedings of the Turkish Government. BRESLAU, JUNE zo. Reports have been received at Vienna from the Austrian Authorities on the military frontiers of Tran sylvania, which are said to announce that Russian troops have entered Moldavia, because, as a Mani festo is asserted to state, the existing treaties had been violated by the Turks occupying Wallachia with"Vdt the consent of Russia. It is said there are many Russian Officers with Ypsilanti's corps, to whose exertions it is chiefly attri buted that it daily increases. The Paris Papers of Wednesday arrived at a late hour this forenoon. The Gazette de Francc contains advices, received by express, from Madrid, dated the Ist July. They announce the closing of the Cortes, by the KING in person, on the 30th of June. His MAJESTY was, it appears, rather coldly received, and though the day passed off without disturbance, strong apprehensions are entertained that the impatience of the clubbists will produce some explosion before the month of October, the period fixed for calling the Cortes Extraordinary. The speech of the KING was firm, moderate, and quite in the tone of the new order of things.—French 5 per Cents. Tuesday, 86fr. sc. Yesterday, his MAJESTY gave a Grand Dinner to the Prince F e STERIIAZY, sen. and the Duke de GRAM MONT, Ambassadors Extraordinary from the Courts of Austria and France, especially appointed to be at his MAJESTY'S Coronation, their Excellencies having been. previously introduced to his MAJrsTY. Th e Duke of CAMBRIDGE, Prince ESTERIIAZY, jun. the AUSTRIAN AMBASSADOR, the Princess ESTERHAZY, and the LORD GREAT CHAMBERLAIN were present. The Duke of YORK visited die King yesterday. ---- Yesterday, the Duchess of CLARENCE visited the Duchess of KENT at the KING'S Palace at Kensington. The Royal Duchesses afterwards rode out together. Yesterday, the Princess AUGUSTA and a select party dined with the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE. The KING'S Palace at Pimlico was yesterday again thronged with Nobility and persons of distinction, making respectful inquiries after the Duke of CAM BRIDGE, on his arrival in England. ----- - -. _ BRITISH GALLERY Of PICTURES, by TRESIIAM and OTTL EY.—This exquisitely beautiful Work is acknow ledged to be the grandest Work ever published in any age or nation.

The following order as to the dress of the Gen !e. men who will attend at Westminster Hall on the esy of the Coronation, has been issued Gentle 'tea wearing coats with standing collars, black seed' clothes, white silk stockings, shoes with buckles, swords, and cocked hats. The Ladies, with feae leta and other costly head-dresses." Parliament-street is to be divided by a S t rong wooden barrier running down the centre of it into two avenues—one for coaches going with compa ny to the Hall or Abbey, and the other for coaches re . turning. The erection of the barrier is already con. siderably advanced. The Loan GREAT ClI A MBERL AIN has signified he intention to open Westminster Hall to the inspeee m of the Public generally, and without tickets, the d ay but one after the Coronation, and for several days subsequently. The first day after the Coronation will be de votes ! to those who have written for tickets, and to whom answers have not been sent. His Lordship will tale Beare that the appearance of the Hall shall be preserv e d in the same state as during the Royal Banquet. This liberal arrangement will no doubt produce general vatisfaction. The EARL MARSHAL will, we have no doubt, afford similar facilities. Thursday tickets for Westminster Hall were issued from the LORD G REAT CHAAIISERLAINS Of& e, to the LORD HIGH CONSTABLE Of England, the LORD HMI CONSTA PLE of Scotland, the EARL MARSHAL, the LORD IIiGH STEWARD, the LORD STEWARD of his e Mejesty's Household, and the Tellers of his Nhecee's Exchequer. Thursday evening a good deal of his MAeesee's plate, intended to be used on the day of the Coro nation, was brought from Carlton Palace to the Bell, r and it was arraneed on the Royal table in the pre sence of Lords 6110 LMON ORLEY, GWYDTR, Coarse HAM ; Sir B. BLOONIF I ELD ; Messrs. .D. FELLOWS% WATSON, WATIER, &c. The portions of the service the were thus displayed were peculiarly magnificent, and attracted great admiration. Besides the table j being thus set out pro. forma, the sideboard was u ranged, consisting of three shelves. It will occupy the space on the left of the Royal table, underneath e the grand window and the foreigners' box. The side. board and the Royal table, so laden with richly finished plate,- will be in full view of the whole Hat Some elevated frame-work, prettily carved and gik, for the reception of plate, was placed in thecentreaf the Royal table; but it was condemned, and instantly removed, as interrupting the view. The Lords Committee of Council assembled a Wednesday, to consider of the arrangements for tie • Coronation. The question of the number of tickets to be issued to each member of the procession, sa brought under their Lordships' obser vation, and Sir G. Y L Elt having provided an estimate of these commodation which the Abbey will afford for spec. tators, it was determined that each Peer who bass!. nified his intention to be present, shall have five tickets; Privy Councillors, not Peers, four tickets ; Knights of the Grand Cross, three tickets ; Knights Cons menders of the Bath, two tickets ; and Clerks in Cone cis, two tickets. Lord CALTIIORPE has been appointed to tamely gold spurs at the Coronation ; and the Earl of Aue- GAVENNY will execute, by deputy, the officee his MAJESTY'S Chief Larderer. The Marquis of Etta I will execrate the office of Lord Iligh Almoner. Several alterations have-been suggested in the Abbey and Hall, both from the EARL MARSHAL'S dePali• ment and that of the LORD GREAT CHAMBERLAIS In the orchestra of the former, the vocal and inert . mental performers are to be thrown back nearer a the organ, and provision is to be made for 130 rick seats in front of the gallery, immediately over the altar, which commands a close view of the wholes the Sacrarium. The ancient form of introducing Representative of the Dukes of AQUITAINE and NORMANDY ins the Procession, will be dispensed with on the pre sent occasion. The Water Company, under the direction of Board of ‘Vorks, have begun to lay down cast-i water-pipes from the main pipes, which run the front of the Peers' entrance into the 0 Lords. They will proceed from this point, Old Palace-yard, along Poets Corner, and into the body of the Church, where parties of , will be stationed ; so that any accident from fire be completely guarded against.
