Letters from Constantinople, dited the 10th April, have been received this morning ; they state that an -insurrection had broken out at Sere, and that 150,000 piastres had been levied upon the inhabitants. Seven Greeks had been arrested and thrown into prison as hostages for the payment of the above sum, and although Lord STRANOVORD had interfered, their liberation had not been effected. Some differences, it appears, had taken place at Jaya between the Turks and Greeks, and one party had set fire to the town, which has destroyed part of it. Accounts received 'at Constantinople also state that the Russian Ambassador had arrived at Vienna, and hopes were entertained that the differences be tween Russia and the Porte would be amicably settled. The Persian army had fallen back. The Grand Pacha was lying in the Dardanelles with six sail of the line. The French Papers of Thursday have been re ceived. They state that the Greek cause has received an important accession of strength. The Greek pea santry of the north of Thessaly and Upper Mace. donia having been compelled to take the field to re sist the repeated attempts of the Pacha of Salonichi to deprive them of their arms, formed a body of 7000 men, including the best sharp-shooters in Greece, pro ceeded, in the first instance s to occupy the defiles if Mount Olympus, the valley of Tempe, and the banks of Peneus; and thence, their numbers increasing on their' march, traversed the country as far as Killi derven, on the sea coast. The Macedonian army then commenced the siege of Berhoe. A body of Turks, sent to its relief by the Pacha of Salonichi, were de feated, and the place surrendered on the 24th of March. An entrenched camp, occupied by the Turkish troops, under the walls of Patras, is said to have been forced by the Greeks, who, after killing a considerable number of the enemy, carried off forty pieces of field artillery sent from Constantinople, and a quantity of ammunition. In addition w the above information, extracted from the Paris Papers, we have to add that Salonichi has been invested by the Greeks, and that an English frigate and another vessel had sailed from Smyrna' to protect British lives and property at Salonichi. Letters from St. Petersburgh, worthy of credit, state, that since the last dispatches from M. de TA TISCHEFF, there was no longer any hope of peace. The Gazette de France contains numerous details of conflagrations, which are extending towards the capital. The following is a copy of a threatening notice which had been placed under the doors of two farmers at Cuiry Houlle: " This is to inform you, that if you do not hoist up the tri coloured flag you shall be burnt in a short time. Compassion only allows you twenty days to prepare yourselves for the re-. volt, which will shortly take place. Long live Napoleon ! Down with the Priests and the Bourbons! " Done by hum Gm, Chief of 800 Brigands." Spanish Papers to the 29th ult. inclusive, have ar rived, but their contents are unimportant. Some dis turbances, but not of a serious nature, had broken out in Murcia and Valencia. At a late hour this forenoon we received a Ger man Mail, bringing Papers to the 3d instant. An article from Smyrna, in the Nuremberg Corres pondad, states that city to be frequently the scene of murd‘r and outrages of all kinds. The Consuls and European inhabitants bare recently received orders not to admit into their houses any Greek sub ject, on pain of being treated like them—that is to say, massacred at the pleasure of the Musselmen.— The Christian inhabitants are in continual fear of ex treme violence from the Turks. The same article mentions the massacre of twenty-seven Greek hos tages, at Chios, whom the Turk shut up in a fort near the sea. Some fugitives from Cbios to Samos, hearing of this dreadful outrage, equipped a small `flotilla, provided with artillery, and manned with about three•or four hundred Samiots, soon landed in the Isle of Chios, where they hoisted the banner of the Cross. Immediately all the inhabitants flew to arms, and assisted in landing the artillery of the flo tilla near*, fort, in which the small garrison of the island was shut up. Batteries were immediately • A.' and trenches opened about the fort, whi c h , near the sea, may be invested by land, women, and boys, nearly the whole popula ' the island, assisted in digging the trenChes. Soon the artillery was directed against the fort, after. a previous offer made to the Turks to let them reti re to Asia, if they would produce the hostages. But their refusal being considered by the inhabitants as a 'confirmation of the massacre of their countrym en, nothing could equal the indignation of the besieg 'and there is reason to suppose that none of the Turks abut up in the kit will escape the just vengeanc e o f the Chiots, because this fort, which was built while the island was in thi possession of the Venetians, c an . not hold out king. It is thus, by a new act of g ra . naltous cruelty, that the Turk= have hist the richest, the most indastrious, and best governed island of the Archipelago. New York Papers to the 7th April, PMNu l l :a Papers to the Bth, and Boston Papers to the &V:. haie reached us this morning. The Royalists stiil remain in possession of the fort of St. Juan de Cilia, though it was expected to surrender soon. The (:,,. lanibian Republic has issued a decree for pinvidi:t for the widows and children of all who have died ia defence of the national liberty and independence, ' whether by the cruelty of the enemy, or by a glori ous death on the field of battle. A Pliiladelr.! Paper contains an article from Jeremie, dated March which states a report that a squadron had arrived and blockaded the .city of Domingo, and taken soil:e Haytian vessels. The force was said to consist of a frigate, a sloop of war, two schooners, and tw) transpotts with troops. The Manilas:- mentions as certain, that the K ;'; Of ENGLAND intends to revisit the Continent this summer. His MAJESTY is to proceed to Vie nna Paris; and preparations are making in both cap;t a l s for his reception, where splendid fetes are to be givca on the occasion of his visit. It is said, that Ministers have recommended this second journey, in con c. quence of the benefit which his MaJesrv's health received during the last. . - KING'S THEATRE.—The Opera of Pietro I: Erensi'l and the Ballet of Les Pages du Duc de Vendome. Ag tia went off on Saturday night with infinite applaTe.— In the brilliant circle were the Duke of Gtf,t.:c;-: . :E.it and the Duchess of KENT. COVENT-GA RDEN.—A new Operatic Play was pro duced at this Theatte on Saturday night, front the pen of Mr. GEORGE Co',alas. It is eatitled The La,. ofJava, and the principal characters are the follow i; , g ; Emperfir ofJava Mr. ABBOTT. Orzinga Mr. YAW'S. Agib Mr. Dritusze. llaus Gavvelt Mr. JONES. l'arbaya Mr. Yoexc. Pengoost Mr. LisTin:. Major Von } est% r Zaide Mite 31.Ta i e: Glozen Nourjadee Miss Srti nize. The plot combines a story founded upon the fabulous attautes of the Upaa, the superstitious accounts of which have ;seen so perfectly exploded by Sir T. flarrcrs. As is usual, we ode.: sketch of its chief incidents. A gang of pirates make a &Awl upon the habitation of Parbaya, an itli.:ider in the Indian seas murder his child, and 'carry off his beloved Zaide to the !lancet of the Emperor of Java, who purchases le.!. :Is a slave. Ike beauty captivates his heart, and be is, of course, a cruel and re lentless lover. The faithful Indian repels his advances, and Ler husband at last discovers the place of her confinement, and in gaining the window of her apartment, is detected and conveyed before the Emperor. The punishment awarded to his olk•uce is that of fetching the poison of the Cpas from the tree. 'this, according to the table, was the manner in which the poison was obtained for the arrows of the soldiers. Criminals were doomed to make the attempt, and upon the state of the winds, and the degree of pestilentia l exhaled by the tree, depended their safety. About one in twenty was said to return uninjured. A corps of Dutek East Indian troops are at this period in posses sion of the island, and the protectors of the Native Govern ment. They are commanded by Major Von Glozen, WII/Ve nephew, Hans Gayvelt, is entrusted with the custody of I a - haya, previous to his journey in quest of the poison -tree. ZAL:e has been thrown into prison upon the discovery of her husband's attempt, but through the good offices of her friend Noulj Wee (another slave in the haarem), and the humanity of Hans 6.). vek, they obtain an interview before his dreadful sentence is to be carried into effect. Previous to this, Parbaya has lean,: th. 4 the Emperor intends to administer the poison to Zaide if he procures it, unless she yields to his love. This determines him to perish rather than to return from the tree. At the borders of the country, which is desolated by the Upas, a priest, Orzinga, is stationed to prepare criminals for their fatal journey. In this man Parbaya discovers his father: and having heard that rile Emperor has by a new decree condemned Zaide to death, in the madness of despair he determines to return to the palace all protect her with his last breath. Just at this moment, how ever, a criminal who had set out In search of the poison a before, appears with a cup of the poison in his hand, and dead from the effects of his journey. Parbaya and Orziqs immediately return and arrive at the moment when Zaide is going to the stake. Orzinga discovers a law in the ancient bass of the empire, by which, if the Emperor refuses to comply with its provisions, he loses his claim to the throne, The law is, that any one returning with the poison of the Upas shall receive any boon which he may demand. Of course the request of Parbaya is the release of Zaide, and the delivery of the two from their sufferings forms the termination of the pity. The Play, constructed upon those materials, rns sesses a much higher degree of interest than the above sketch can give any idea of, being contrived with the skill of a practised Dramatist to keep the attention awake to the last moment. The language and incidents are judiciously varied between serious and comic writing, and the characters, though not remarkable for originality, are well adapted to the purposes for which they are respectively introduced. Major Von Glozen, commandant of the troops in the service of the Dutch East India Company (the part assigned to Mr. FAWCETT), is a very amusing one. The Dutchman-like composure with which he received the intelligence of the death of his wife, produced an universal burst of laughter. Parbaya was admir:,blp supported by Mr. YOUNG. The deep pathos in winch he excels, was finely exhibited in the farewell with Zaide,''and the last scene, in which he defies and abashes the tyrant, was full of impassioned and sta. lime energy. Mr. YATES appeared to great advan tage in Orzinga— we cannot easily forget his recor ninon of Parbaya, as his son. Mr. JONES'S Fart was not important enough to call his powers into full play. Mr. LISTON - had more to do, and the charac ter afforded the performer frequent opportunities of exciting laughter; and laughter, though not a pro. fessed critic, is capable of bearing testimony worth a thousand observations to the merit of a comic work. —The vocal parts were delightfully sustained by Atiss Taira, M issSizPn ENS, MiZDURIISET, and's aact:.
