VI6NNA, JULY 13. — 1 t is generally considered that the commotions in the East cannot be appeased but by the intervention of the Powers bordering Turkey. Every one desires the prompt restoration of tranquillity, as all trade with the Levant is lost. At Constantinople cruelty knows no bounds; neither age nor sex is a s►feguard against the fury of the populace. The Sultan himself is exasperated beyond measure since he learned the destruction of the fleet. 'Anima:sr, JULY 9.—We learn from the coasts of Africa that the Algerines and Tunisians are arming, to aid the Porte against the Greeks. SMYRNA, JUNE 19 --Extract from a private let r. —" Fur tour days past the European consuls and merchants, who have taken refuge on board the ves.cels in the roads, have seen their houses and factories laid waste by the Turkish populace, in con junction with the Janissaries. This undisciplined race of men, atter having cut the throat of the Mousseline, or Mahometan Lieutenant-General, who opposed himself to their fury, used violence to the Pacha of Cesarea, whom they compelled to permit them to do whatever they pleased. Thus, in a few days, the first seaport in the Levant, the opulent Smyrna, its magazines, its riches, audits prosperity will have disappeared ! " Every thing that bears the name of Christian, Gm 1, Armenian, or Franks, is exterminated; the Catholic and ot thodox churches are the objects of the unrestrained rage of a people excited by the allure ment of plunder and by a fanatic spirit. I calculate that upwards of 13,000 Christians of every age and sex have fallen by the poinards of the Maltomeums, who no longer make any secret of their design to extirpate Christianity, and transform their empire into another ancient Taurius, where Europeans will only find admittance, as at Japan, by submitting to the most revolting humiliations, if they be base enough to endure such an insult. But without anticipating the future, you may imagine the enor mous losses which the Levant trade will sustain, and the bankruptcies which will inevitably follow. " The town of Sidonia, which the Turks call Ivalia, where there were computed to be 30,000 Christians, has just been burned by the Turks, who put to death all the inhabitants capable of bearing arms, and carried off the women and children as slaves to the interior. The colleges, seminaries, churches, the infirmary, and public library, are de stroyed, in fact nothing remains of this once-flou rishing city." MADRID, JULY 12.—Their Majesties left this capital yesterday morning for the baths of Sacedon. A few days previously, the orators of the club La Fontana Lecame so violent i❑ their invectives, and excited so much suspicion of the King's conduct that the Ministers, intimidated, presented a petition to the King, urging him to convoke the extraordinary Cortes before his departure for the baths. The King wrote on the margin of the said petition as follows:—" I have pledged my royal word that I would convoke the extraordinary Cortes before the Ist of October, which I will do. I see no motive for hastening the re-assembling of the Deputies The general opinion of Spain cannot be represented by a tew individuals, whose intemperate conduct is known." Every day perfidious rumours are disseminated from the club I.a Fontana; the populace reply by cries of " 71w hammer," (alloding to the instrument with which the Canon Vintt.sa was murdered); and, as yet, the police have taken no measure what ever to prevent the consequences of such disorderly proceedings. Yesterday evening three assassinations took place in the Rue St. John, of this capital. It is asserted that a Neapolitan Revolutionary Commi. tee is establiled at Barcelona, which main tains relations with the Curbonari of that country; aid that at the cud of June, a ship, under Spa nish colours, laden with arms and ammunition, and having on board several Neapolitan individuals, sailed from that port. She shaped her course tbr the coast of Naples, doubtless having in view to foment some plot. Coffin s J t:Ns. 30.—We have this moment learned that ail Thessaly is in a state of insurrection. The towns of Volo and Zeitown, where the Turks have been, are in the possession of the Greeks. Pharsalia has been oceuritd by the Lieut. of the venerable Gazi, Archbishop of Pam, who has put all the Turks to the bawd. Aju and Ambelachia, inha- Wed solely by Greeks, have organized a provisional government, which directs ali the atiairs of the pro vince. In cons, gurney of these events, Ourschid, Paella of Salunitn, has • been compelled to raise the siege of Janine, to pn•ceed into Zvlacedonia, which lie will not be able to traverse, that he may repair to the chief place in his govitrument. . ~.. THE NATIONAL REGISTER CHILL MESSACRE OF THE MASTER AND PART OF THE CREW OF THE SHIP OFFLEY. OF LONDON, AT THE ISLAWE OF ST. MARY'S. ON THE COAST OF CHILI. " On Saturday, February 24, 1821, at 10 A. M. saw several men, six or eight, on the Island of St. Mary's. Captain Hales suppo4ing those men to have come over from the main for the purpose of trading, as they usually did, went on shore with a boat's crew, armed with cutlasses and pistols, for the purpose of procuring refreshments for the use of the ship. On their lauding, these men, supposed to be Spaniards, ran away behind the beach, and our boat's crew after them. Sunday 25.—Sun down, boat not returned ; all on board felt anxious for the safety of the Captain and crew. At Gh. 30nt. r.x. sent the third mate on shore to launch the Captain's i boat and bring her off--7th do. the third mate re turned, informed us there were several men on the beach, and from their movements supposed there were more behind the beach, and being dusk he judged it most propor not to attempt landing. The chief mate immediately armed the boat and sent her off, with orders to lay as near as possible abreast of the Captain's boat, but not on any account to land. At day-light perceived the boat was missing; the night being dark, it was supposed they carried her behind the beach. Five A. tt. boat returned on board ; at Bh. 30m. armed two boats, the one headed by the chief mate, the other headed by the third mate. and went on shore. On coming near the Leach they perceived a man naked, sitting on the beach ; on cawing up to him, they discovered hint to be Thomas Moore, armourer, covered with blood ; he was perfectly sensible, ar.d informed them that on 'their first landing the Spaniards appeared very friendly, giving them bread and meat ; afterwards they persuaded them to deliver up their arms, bound them two and two, and carried them about three miles into the island; after that they brought them back nearer to the beach, amongst some bushes, and as soon as it was dark they stript them and put them all to death, excepting him, whom they left for dead, having received 23 spear wounds in his body and two sabre cuts, one on each side of the neck. He was immediately brought on board, when I examined him, and found that his lungs hal been pierced upwards through the diaphragm, one ach side ; he told me he had counted twenty five men just prior to their being murdered. Soon after the boats returned, a great number of men, supposed to be about fifty, were seen coming towards the beach; soon afterwards a man pre sented himself, dressed in the Captain's clothes, and waved his hat for a boat to come on shore ; he was accoompanied by three or four, who appeared to be officers in green uniform, with cocked hats and sabres; the rest we could discover lying behind the beach. The man on the beach appeared so much like Captain Hales, that I questioned the armourer whether he was positive the Captain was killed ; he assured me he was, and said the Captain or leader of the Spaniards very much resembled Captain Hales, as to outward appearnnce; that he had remarked it when on shore. We immediately weighed anchor, and stood for Conception. At 5 P. K. the armourer much worse; 9th do. departed this life," The above is a verbatim copy of the Surgeon's sa cement of the circumstances. (Signed) H—EsonALL Surgeon of the COley. THE CORONATION MEDAL —A gold medal, in a red-morocco case was given to each of the Peers.— Tile silver medals were not very profusely distributed. They were thrown among the boxes, and here and there a smart contest took place for the prize. In the Earl 'Marshal's box two gentlemen were strug gling for several minutes for a medal, which fell betweea them, but which, however, neither of them Mund. When they resumed their places, a young lady, who was a quiet spectator of the contest, put her hand down between the benches, and took up the medal, much to her own satiskation and that of her family. The medals have on the obverse a head of his Majesty in a very high relief, crowned with laurel. The edge is raised, and encloses the inscrip tion " Georgius IV. D. G. Britauniarum Her, F. D." The reverse presents the King sitting in a chair, holding a baton in his hand : Victory crowns him in the presence of the three kindoms, which are represented by three figures, the foremost holding the trident for Britannnia, the second Erin, distinguished by a shamrock in his helmet, and the third Scotland, known by a thistle in her helmet. The three figures rest their right hands on an altar, which, in a pan nel, has the snake with his tail in his mouth, sig nifying eternity ; meaning that the union of the three was to be eternal. Behind the figure of Vic tory are the emblems of peace, agriculture, and com merce. Over the figures is the following inscrip tion :—" Proprio jem fare, aninio paterno ;" and beneath them are the words. " Inaugaratus Die Julii xix. Anna M.DC CC XX I." The workmanship of the reverse is excellent. The figures are exqui sitely cut, particuiarly that of his Majesty. The head on the obverse does not strike one as well done, though it is a good likeness. FROAIt LAST R'IGHT'S G.-IZETTS. WHITEHALL, JULY rt.

[EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER.] AUGSPURG, Jun' 16.—Our Vienna correspor.• dent writes us that they have just received in that capital the afflicting intelligence that executions have recommenced in Constantinople. The fury of the Turks has assumed the most atrocious character. The Greeks, and other Christians, particul►►rly the Armenians, arc assassinated night and day. Much impatience is manifested for the decision of the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh to put an end to those atrocities. _ The Vienna courier t% hick arrived to-day has brought us the fidlowing accounts relative to tie affairs of the Greek insurgents:— " Patras, Tripolliza, and some other places, are still in the power of the Ottoman troops. T!.e COM. firmation of the news published s.ime days :1), that the Turkish garrison of Paints had capitulated, Las not been received. The assertion, however, has not been contradicted in an official manner- " Prince Ypsilanti, in consequence of the serious reverses which he has sustained, has arrived on the Austrian territory. He has been followed by nu merous Greeks. The local authorities, who had received instructions to this effect front their govern• ment, gave a most hospitable reception to these figitives. It results from all this that the Circa corps d'armee which had been organized in %Villa chili, is entirely dispersed." Yesterday a telegraphic dispatch announced that Smynia had fallen a prey to incendiaries. It was the Turks who set fire to the town. It is affirmed that the Franks had time to save themselves on beard the ships of their respective nations; but the less of the riches that town contained is incalculaLle. _ Dispatches which arrived three days ugo announce that Smyrna has been the thLatre of events of great importance. The details of this i: - .- telligence is anxiously awaited.
