11PRMWP" ~~ 116 Vottterig- LONDON:MONDAY, JUNE 4. Three o'clock, p.m. The Paris papers of Thursday contain afflicting .accounts of the merciless atrocities of the Turks, and the progress of the war of extermination between them and the Greeks. The fanaticism of the fbrener urges them to commit the most barbarous excesses, and neither women nor children escape their rage, as nothing can allay their thirst for human blood- These infuriated barbarians have spread slaughter and dismay throughout Constantinople—no Chris tian is wait, neither are the Foreign Ambassadors exempt from their insults and outrage. Their con duct is so ti:rocious and appalling, that there is now great probability that Foreign Powers will be aroused, if not prevented by the apprehension that their interference would be considered as au attack upon legilitnaey, or as abetting the Greek insurrec. tion, the latter being so very repugnant to the refined feelings of the Holy Alliance. An article from Constantinople states, that a corps of 5000 Janixarioi proceeded on the .‘2sth of April for Warns. They embarked at Tuphana, and in ascending the Bosphorus, bitrut and pillaged, with out distinction, houses belonging to Turks and Greeks. They plundered the palace of the Spanish Embassy, and two Spaniards lost their lives.—M. Souton, Counsellor of the Russian Embassy, only ir.ved his mansion by throwing handfuls of gold from the windows. The Russian flag, eying on his hotel, was pierced with balls. The Greeks at Smyrna had fled to the mountains; the Turks had set lire to the Grand Bazaar of the Jews, which was entirely consumed; the Franks 1114 removed, with their effects, on board the vessels in the harbour. A body of 500 Turks from Lepanto landed at Patrus in the night of the 13th April. They were attacked by the Greeks, who destroyed nearly half of them. The remainder succeeded in joining the Turks in the castle. The examination of witnesses before the French Court of Peers still continues, on the prosecution against the conspirators of last August; and the Chamber of Deputies have for the last week been engaged in discussing the proposed law respecting pensions. Pozzo di Borgo, the Russian Ambessadsr to the Court of France, is arrived in Paris. The French Five per Cents..left off on Wednesday at 841. 20e. ; Bank Stock, 1,277 f. 50e. The fall of Lima, as announced some days ago, has been doubted, in consequence of accounts received subsequent to those• which brought the 1.415. vs hav ing made no reference to the fact. Advices however reached VolpeCaizo, on the 2fith December, stating that the Liberating Army of Peru bad defeated the Royal Forces, under Ciener,il O'Reilly, with great loss. O'Reilly liiinself was made prisoner, and his army dispersed. It was doubted at first whether this was not a rumour of the first slight action which took place, but on a comparison of the dates thore is reason to give full credit to the report, and it' so, Lima must consequently fall immediately. funeral of the late Mr. Samuel Harmer.--On Thursday evening at five o'clock, the mortal remains of the unfortunate Mr. Harmer, who was shut by his-wife on the evening of the 24th ult. were con veyed from his house. No. 6, Weston street, to the burying-ground of St. °lave's, in I'ouley-street, liir interment, followed by an immense crowd. The deceased's father and father-in-law were the princi. pal mourners, Mrs. 11. being so ill us to be wholly unuble to attend. It being apprehended that there would be some riot, owing to the collection of such numerous hotly of people, a strong division of the pike were stationed at the Hat and Shears public house; but happily there was no need of their Int,disclice was reeeivill on Fritl4y of the death of that us artist Mr. Slthillal, jou. l'uisuing his picks iullal avoesuuus with In. aCCUSIUM , d ardour, in eolloi:r a it:Wow of the couialo of Herr, in Devnir o.ort., s of the ladder, oil which he 1;1.104 Imhof. ely Kite way, anti 44e.Waa precipitated to the ground --dryad:ol to relate, though only front a twie,ht of about tent ler', his As all was Itactorid, and I. tiled upon the fLei ..iiieted whir iiJi we Lent , jilt . 11Clu1;; It.e 'Lori .e vi hit >UII ilia. REGISTER COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. A Court of Common Council was held on Saturday last. A petition from Mr. Beckwith, for compensation for the losses occasioned by the Spahrlds rioters, was referred to a committee. A petition was presented from the inhabitants of Cripplegate Without, prnyinj for a more adequate representation in the Common Council, or for a junction of !heir Ward with that of Cripplegate Within. The latter; with only 200 inhabitant fryernen, had eight representatives, whilst Cripplegate Without though its inhabitant freemen were 500 , had only four members. A counter petition was presented from Cripplegate. Both petitions were, after some debate, referred to a committee. Mr. Elven then informed the Court that Dr. Lnsh ingtoti, anti Messrs. Brougham and DC11111:11). were in attendance to receive their presentations of the freedom of the city, porsitant to a tote of the Court. The learned Counsel were immediately after intro duced by Aldermen Wood and W 3411111311, Mr. Brown, andOldham, preceded by the Chamberlain and Nlarshals. The Chamberlain then proceeded to read to them the Tole, and to administer the freentason's oath, which being (lota., he addressed them to the following effect:— " Genrieuren.—Yon have been selected from the body of • learned profession to perform a duty the most arduous and 'lmportant; and whet. we consider the exalted rank of the individual more immediately concerned in the result—the splendid talents of those by whom the great cause was con ducted—the amorist tribunal before w hich it was pleaded— and the interest told anxiety with w hich not only this cousin.), but the whole civilized world looked forward to the issue, I am not aware that the annals of mankind can afford its parallel. This Ullb a cause which required the genius and eloquence of a Demosthenes, me Cicero, and a Mansfield, and 1 can venture to amen, without fear of contradiction, that these great qualities were exhibited in the fullest extent by those whom ! have now the honour to address. The great orator of Greece, by that manly force of unuflectf..d eloquence, which, (in the language of an el. , gain writer of our own country), ' rushed like a torrent ton impetuous to tut withstood,' and astonished r.iul delighted the must polished uswnibly then in exi,tence ; 111111 the father of Latin eloquence co iiiiii tended applause, and influence:it the deter. ii iii anon of a Kontan Senate: but, gentlemen, the fame of your eloquence has already extended to countries wholly unknown to those great characters, and already fin realms which never witnessed the triumphs of Alexander, nor the progress of the Roman Leek., mire recorded the transcendent talents and eloquence of a Brougham, a Denman, aud a The Chamberlain then presented to them the boxes containing the freedom of the city. Mr. Brougham expatiated on the high sense he entertained of the honour that had been couferred on him, and referred to his first acqitaintance with the Citizens of London in IBot, is hen he was selected by the merchants to advocate their came, in respect to the orders in council, made to connteract the Bunnapartean emit Mental system. Mr. Deurnaa and Dr. Lushington expressed 'heir salts faction in having been selected to defend the most illustrious of his Majesty's subjects in so righteous a cause, and that they had felt the high importance of the duty committed to their Minds. hut it was that public opinion which bad been heat expressed by the citizens of London, and had spread th.oughout this country, but in all pacts of the world, which, more than their humble endeuvours—more thou the justice of the cause—Dare than the justice of the iris banal had brought to its terteinin'uo the direful and unequal contest. The Court then proceeded with some other business, after which the principal members. and the Itarised Counsel, went to the Mansion !louse and partook of a sumptuous entertainment. SOCIETY FOR TILE REPOM;ITION OF PRISON DISCIPLINE. Ott Saturday last the annual meeting of the society for the improvement of prison discipline was held at Free masotte;-hall„ iu the presence of the must splendid cum parry we ever remembered. At an early hour the hall was crowded to excess by persons of the first distinction, among whom we observed a large number of ladies, whose appearance shed a lustre on the scene. At half past one o'clock his s auya: Highness the Duke of Gloucester took the chair. Ilia Royal Highness the Doke of Gloucester then rit-e to call the alention of the meeting to the annual report of this excellent institution, of which he spoke in ternis of W3llll and ties:.rved patrona;;e. lie ulo...iized the gentlemen who took an active interest in the pc,. gress ut the society, which was so well . calculated to • society, by emoting in its prisons that reforma tory system which was so well videttlated to promote the ultimate advantages of the community at large. Mr. S. HOAKIt, jun. then rose and read the report of the society, which took a comprehensive view of the op.-raiiims the present mode of prison discipline, and particularly initiated to the _beneficial consequetices of prison labours. Nothing' appeared to have oprated. so betielietally upon detriate characters as hard Fabour, and the instal:Les were numerous and striking in whico thus t ic i le fie i J 1 result was observable.
