7 9t ° A litt Our ittg, Con.6titution, antio33: -- MONDAY, JULY 2, lsn. No. 1,320.—V0L. XIS.] FOREIGN ISTELLIGENCE•. 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 that Ypsi lanti, who still remained at Tergovitz with 10.000 men, was about to be attacked by the united threes of Hadschi Aehmet Pacha and Jussup Paella, 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•gnarters of that chief at Tergovlz. We in sert sonic details respecting the maritime prepara tions and movements of the Ottoman Government ; and others descriptive of the usage and horrible atrocities committed by both parties :-- CONSTANTINOPLE, MAY 25.—The Porte is in. cessantly occupied with armaments to suppress the insurrection in Moldavia and Walachia; it pays equal attention to the measures carrying on to sup press the insurrection of the Moreu and Negropont, and to destroy the Greek ships that infest the Archi pelago. tlorali 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, 3 frigates, and 3 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 Dardanelles.— They are fine vessels and \veil equipped, but have not sufficient men, the rebellion of the Greeks de.. priviug the government of the best sailors. The Admiralty has enlisted 523111e1l 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 Mussulmen and the Greeks vie with each other in cruelty. In the Mores and Negropont, they found victims for their fury. Patrasso and Athens have fallen a prey to the flames. There, and in 'Lea, Tino, and NI yconne, the most dreatifid murders were committed in cold blood by both parties. Smyrna, too, was lately the scene of many excesses, but the arrival of sonic English and French men of war uflerds security to tile Franks, and will probably check the Greek pi rates. PARIS, JUNE 23.—1 t appears almost certain that the Emperor of Russia has no intention of declaring in favour of the Greeks; anti as to his illustrious ally, the Emperor of Austria, the following intela ligence will clearly show his disposition : The Emperor of Austria on the 9th of June re ceived a deputation of the proviwital states of Aus tria to congratulate him on bis having re-established peace and tranquillity in Italy, on his having over thrown faction and restored legitimate power. 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 arc occupied with the re-establishment of tranquillity at Naples, another conspiracy, nod lest criminal, broke out in an 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. With the faitidid and constant co-operation of my allies, I will maintain peace,'' &c. By the way the censors who are so ready to spill their read ink, have spared this passage out of u 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. Jose 26.—1 n the Deputies a discussion was opened upon the Marine Budget, the expenses of which were oftkially estimated at 53 millions francs (2.200,000 l.) The NliniAer of M:lrine, M. Portal; mastic a re port upon the present comlition 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 comprehends 58 ships of the line and 29 frigates, ought, with its collateral establishments, to be allowed for its main tenance above 80 millions. He added to this state- mint of the gross amount of the navy, for which few, possibly, of our readers were prepured, the following detailed observations— That a 74 gun ship, which before the revolution, cost about 1,200,000 francs (50,0001), could not now be built under 1,700,005 f. upward 0470,0001.) .--That the French models retuiri their former ex c-llence;—that more than two-thirds of the officers and pupils of marine, whose presence ashore is not indispensable. are actually now afloat ;--that the Feench commerce and fisheries engage about 52,000 seamen; while the royal navy, which, previously to the month of June, 1820, had need of nu more than 6,812, and even at the close of the year, found employmcut for only 7,743, is now, in the year 1821, manned by 10,764 seamen ;—that the mari-1 • 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 74-gun ships;—that ten sail of the line, five frigates, and tour 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 us much success as the limited funds assigned to Cie maritime department would admit of; and finally, that the Minister, in-• stead of acknowledging the expediency of any of the proposed reducti:ms in the budget, earnestly hopes from the increasing prosperity of the finance, to see the expenditure of his department raised to the sum of' 65,000,000 f. Several speeches thllowed 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, via. that providing for the central adminl strution of the marine, with a small reductina of 20,0001. and adjourned the remaining branches of this subject. Private letters from Paris communicate an official answer from Ilia Emperor ;.:1 Austria to a deputation of the provincial states, who had offered their con gratulations on the re-establishment of peace in Italy, wherein his Imperial Majesty is pleased to time *li:stare:eau:l of the Crechs as the re sult of a conspiracy " nod less criminal" then that el Naples, and promises to do us much for the L.:- pose and harp ::• Torts es he bad already dont for oh• .; • !, , . The islands of Spezia, Hydra, and Ipsara have 70 vessels in the Archipelago, some of which carry from 16 to 20 gnus. They examine 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 Wien a Turkish brig, and blown up a small vess.l. The Porte has laid an embargo on all corn ships coping from Russian ports ; and all vessels going. to the Black Sea are searched before they quit the har bour of Constantinople. This measure has been caused by the increasing emigration of the ltsjas, and the flight of several individuals implicated in the conspiracy of the Greeks. The Sardinian government has at length succeed ed in obtaining of the Swiss government, to prohibit Messrs. Santa Rosa, Saint Murata, hit), 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 Pitxlmontcse is all the Cantons of Switzdand. The Prince of Cisterns and other chiefs of the revolution have beer. «unlearned to death at Turin, and hung in effigy. Madrid papers and letters to the 15th ult. arrived. The Spanish frigate Amin, with nearly 5,000,000 dollars on board, and convoying 52 merchantmen with valuable cargoes, arrived at Cadiz en the 7th, in 40 days from Havannah. Advices had been re ceived from Vera Cruz of the termination of the insurrection in Mexico, by the voluntary surrender of its leader Iturbide, who accepted the amnesty that was offered. In the internal affairs 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. Thu curate of Roe, one of his friends and partisans, has Len taken prisoner by the Empecitinde. A party of free booters, consisting of about filly men, supposed to entertain similar designs with Merino, had appe , red in the vicinity of Cadiz. Nothing is stated, Low 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 Morel!, the Turks, though much straightened fi , r precisions, ,tott of the j r,oc iltaf I: messes, Ir. rrs PRICY' d • • Green, the British Consul at Patras, had visited Zante for the purpose of placing his family out ofd the reach of possible danger, but was about to re-: turn to his post, in which he appears to have con ducted himself v ith such a degree of firmness 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 30,000 men at Adrianople. Great numbers of Greeks have been put to 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 Pacha. He still defended himself in a fortress of the lake of Joan 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 anent i.•tt paid to our Ambassador, Lord Strangthrd, when he passed through the streets to his audiences with the Grand Vizier and the Grand Seignor. He was accompanied, it is said, by Lady Strangford in na..e attire, the customs of the Turks not permitting tl.e limn& costume to appear on public occasions. Be sides the Patriarch of Constantinople and his suc cessors, who fell victims to the suspicion of par:Li paling in the Greek insurrectson, another preLie, it is said, who exercised at a former period the few:- lions of head of that church, but resigned them, has also fallen hy the hand of the executioner. Letters from Vienna of the pith ult. comm.mi cate intelligence from Bucharest of the 3d inst. witli further details of the state of the Greek insurre.l.Ja in that quarter. Front a country where no gaza.!cs or official reports are published, all intelligence must be received with distrust, and no statements beli..ved without some internal evidence of their truth. It seems probable, however, from these letters, tiiat the horrible cruelties committed by the Tullis 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 thr the Turkish army in the northern provinces, and even raise the sinking fortunes of Ypsilanti. The Sarvians arc said to have attacked and destroyed on the Danuhe, between Porowitz and Kaldora, a 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 ss as 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 Turkis4 oray, a firce of 22,000 men, of whom one-half are cavalry, is encamped ; they only awaited the arrival of Jussuf, Paella of Ibruil, front Jassay to attack the main body of the Greeks.— Letters received by Greek houses at Vienna repre sent the state of attars in a much tlivourable light for their countrymen ; augmenting the extent of the insurrection in that part of Turkey, and de scribing the Turkish army as without discipline, and in danger of Laing cut oil from its resources We believe, howeser, front u comparison of state ments, that, north of the Danube, the chances of war arc, in its prasent stage, against the Greeks, though the imposing Turkish force employait against them proves that their strength even there is greattr than had been imagined NAPLES, JUNE 6.—Yesterday the King, retired to his summer residence of Capodimenta.
