From accounts by the German mail it appears that Jassy and Bucharest, the two capitals, are al ready in the hands of the Turks : and th at Ypsi lanti, who still remained at Tergovits with 10.000 men, was about to be attacked by the united forces of Hadschi Achmet Pacha and Jussup Pacha, of Ibrailow. Theodore, if we may believe these state ments, was surprised at Pitescht by an officer of Ypsilanti's, who conducted him as prisoner to the head.quarters of that *hid at Tergorits.

Morali Pacha, who was for some days in the neighbourhood of this city, is gone with 12,000 men to Rumelia. On the 18th a second division of the fleet put to sea; it consists of one 74, 8 frigates, and S brigs. These and a ship of the line which sailed this morn ing, after taking in their ammunition, &c. at St. Stefano and Gallipoli, sailed to the Dardar.elies.— They are fine vessels and well. equipped, but have not sufficient men, the rebellkam of the Greeks de priving the government of tke best sailors. The Admiralty has enlisted seamen of all nations, who receive three months' pay in advance. It is hoped the crews may be completed in the Dardanelles. The manner in which both parties carry on the contest excites indignation. It is mostly unarmed persons who are sacrificed. The Musrulaten and the Greeks vie with each other in cruelty. In the Morey and Negropont, they thund victims for their fury. Patrasso and Athens have fallen a prey to the flames. There, and in Zea, Tino, and Myconne, the most dreadful murders were committed in cold blood by both parties. Smyrna, too, was lately the scene of many excesses, but the arrival of some English and French men of war affords security to the Franks, and will probably check the Greek pi sates. PARIS, JUNE 23.—1 t appears almost certain that the Emperor of Russia has no intention of declaring in favour of the Greeks; and as to his illustrious ally. the Emperor of Austria, the following Intel. ligence will clearly show his disposition : The Emperor of Austria on the 9th of June re ceived a deputation of the provincial states of Aus tria to congratulate him on his havinif re-established peace snd tranquillity in Italy, on his having over- CArown faction and restored legitimate pqw.or. In a long answer which he returned, the following is the- most remarkable passage:— " Providence has permitted great evils for the sake of teaching great lessons. At the moment when we are occupied with the re-establishment of tranquillity at Naples, another conspiracy, not less crineinal, broke out in un empire immediately ad joining mine. The authorsof all these plots thought themselves sure of victory; they forgot that a firm policy can defy any danger however great or sudden. ith the faithful and constant co-operation of my allies, 1 will maintain peace." &c. By the way the censors who are so ready to spill their read ink, have spared this passage out of a regard, no doubt, due to the true interest of legi timate government. The real friends of established government must be mightily pleased at the admis sion of the Grand Turk among the members of the Holy Alliance. JUNE 26.—1 n the Deputies a discussion was opened upon the Marine Budget, the expenses of which were officially estimated at 53 millions francs (2,200,0001.) The Minister of Marine, M. Portal, made a re port upon the preseut condition of the French navy, which contained some highly interesting facts.— While the navy of the United States, observed the Minister, consists of only 11 sail of the line and 14 frigates, demanding an expence of 16 or 18 millions of francs, the French navy, which :omprehends 58 ships of the line and 39 frigates, ought, with its collateral establishments, to be allowed for its main tenance above 80 millions. Ile added to this state ment of the gross amount of the navy, fur which few, possibly, of our readers were prepared, the following detailed observations— That hich• before the • 'volution, . a 74-gun ship, w! ICVOlia.._ cost about 1,200,000 francs (50,0001), could not now be built under 1,700,005 f. upward of(70,0001.) —That the French models retain their former ex ccrence;—that more than two-thirds of the offices* and pupils of marine, whose presence ashore is not indispensable, are actually now afloat ;—that the French commerce and fisheries engage about 52,000 seamen; while the royal navy, which, previously to.. the month of June, 1820, had need of no more than 6,8 12, and even at the close of the year, found employment for only 7,713, is now, in the year 1821, manned by 10,76 k seamen ;—that the mari time population is on the increase ;—that in five years the mass of workmanship bestowed upon dif ferent men of war has been more than equal to the building of fourteen 76-gun ships ;—that ten sail of the line, five frigates, and four sloops of war, have undergone a thorough repair ;—that various im portant works in the dock-yards have been carrying on with assiduity, and with as much success as the limited funds assigned to tic maritime department would admit of; and finally, that the Minister, in stead of acknowledging the expediency of any of the proposed reductions in the budget, earnestly hopes from the increasing prosperity of the finance, to see the expenditure of his departnient raised to the sum of 65,000,000 f. Several speeches followed that of M. Portal, but none of them to be compared with it in the extent of their information or the accu racy of its views. The Chamber adopted the first article, viz. that providing for the central admini stration of the marine, with a small reduction of 20,000 f and adjourinal the remaining branches of this subject. Private letters films Paris communicate an official answer from the Emperor of Austria to u deputation of the provincial states, who hail ofiered their con gratulations on the re-establishment of peace in Italy, wherein his Imperial Majesty is ',leased to stigmatise the insurrection of the Greeks as the re sult of a coolTiracy " aol lets criminal" than that if Naples, and promises to do as much for the re pose and happiness of the Turks us lie had already done ha those of the Italians. The islands of Spezis, Hydra, and 'pears have 70 vessels in the Archipelago, some of which carry from 16 to 20 guns. They alumina the merchant ' men of all nations, and seize all Turkish property on board, without respect to any flag. These mo dern bucaniers have even chased ships of war, have taken a Turkish brig, and blown up a small vessel. The Porte has laid an embargo on all corn ships coming from Russian ports ; and all vessels going to the Black Sea arc searched before they quit the har bour of Constantinople. This measure has been caused by the increasing emigration of the Rl*, and the flight of several individuals implicated in the conspiracy of the Greeks. The Sardinian government Las at length succeed ed in obtaining of the Swiss government, to prohibit Messrs. Santa Rosa, Saint Mtirean, Irisio, and the Prince of Cisterna, from residing in the Canton of Geneva, or in the Pays de Vaud. This measure will probably be extended to all the Piedmontese in all the Cantons of Switzerland. The Prince of Cisterna anti other chiefs of the revolution have been condemned to death at Tulin, and hung in effigy. Madrid papers and letters to the 15th ult. arrived. The Spanish frigate Pionta, with nearly 3,000,000 dollars on board, and convoying 52 merchantmen, with valuable cargoes, arrived at Cadiz on the 7th, I in 40 days froze friavannah. Advices had been re ceived from Vera Cruz of the termination of the insurrection in Mexico, by the voluntary surrender of its 'miler Iturbide, who accepted the amnesty that was offered. in the internal ufliiirs of Spain little of moment has occurred. Merino still eludes pursuit, but is said to be reduced, with his adhe rents, to the most destitute condition. Tice curate of Itua, one of his friends and partizans, has been taken prisoner by the Empecimuie. A party of free booters, consisting of about fifty men, supposed to entertain similar designs with Merino, bad appe ,red in the vicinity of Cadiz. Nothing is stated, how ever, that can render doubtful the tranquillity of the kingdom. Letters dated the 10th ult. have been received from Corfu. By the latest accounts from Mores, the lurks, though much straightened fur provisions, still held possession of the principal fortresses. Mr. tr+ PRICE 94d. Green, the British Consul at Paths, had visited Zante for the purpose of placing his family out of the reach of possible danger, but was about to re turn to his post, in which he appears to have con ducted himself tt ith such a degree of firmneas and prudence as to entitle him to the commendations of the British authorities in the lonian Islands, and to the particular notice of the Ottoman government.— The Turks are said to be collecting an army of 80,000 men at Adrianople. Great numbers of Greeks have been put.t6 death in that city, including several heads of families of the first consequence. These letters enable us to (contradict the reports in the French papers of the death of Ali Paths. He still defended himself in a fortress of the lake of Jean nine, where he had collected 400 barrels of gun powder, with the resolution, if overpowered, of destroying himself and all his followers. From Constantinople little is added to our previous infor mation. Nothing can equal the honours and attentit a paid to our Ambassador, Lord Strangford, when he passed through the streets to his audiences with the Grand Vizier and the Grand Seignor. He was aceompanied, it is said, by Lady Strangford in male attire, the customs of the Turks not permitting the female costume to appear on public occasions. Be sides the Patriarch of Constantinople and his suc cessors, who fell victims to the suspicion of partici pating in the Greek insurrection, another prelate, it is said, who exercised at a former period the func tions of head of that church, but resigned them, has also fallen by the hand of the executioner. Letters from Vienna of the lEth ult. communi cate intelligence from Bucharest of the 3d inst. with further details of the state of the Greek insurrection in that quarter. From a country where no gazettes or official reports are published, all intelligence must be received with distrust, and nu statements believed without some internal evidence of their truth. It seems probable, however, from these letters, that the horrible cruelties committed by the Turks on entering Bucharest, when all the Greeks they could succeed in capturing were impaled alive, have awakened a spirit in the adjoining provinces of Bosnia and Servia, which may still find employment fur the Turkish army in the northern provinces, and even raise the sinking fortunes of Ypsilanti. The Servians are said to have attacked and destroyed on the Danube, between Porowitz and Kaldoru, Turkish battalion of 800 men who were on their march to join the main army. Ypsilanti, it is now stated, has entrenched himself at Tergowischi, where he was daily joined by large numbers of tecruits. irritated by the barbarities and depredations of the Turks. Near Bucharest, which is the head-quarters of the Turkish army, a force of 22,000 men, of whom one-half are cavalry, is encamped ; they only awaited the arrival of Jassuf, Pucha of Hirai', from Jamey to attack the main body of the Greeks.— Letters received by Greek houses at Vienna reprc. sent the state of affairs in a much favourable light for their countrymen ; augmenting the extent of the insurrection in that part of Turkey, and dc scribing the Turkish army as without discipline, and in danger of being cut off from its resources We believe, however, from a comparison al state ments, that, north of the Danube, the chancey of war arc, in its present stage, against the Greeks, though the imposing Turkish force employed against them proves that their strength even there is grouts than had been imagined.
