'lhe details are contained in the fidlowing extract from a report of :%ialLiined Pitch's, Governor if the 14.)rea, to the Graaf! Vizier, of 23,'. Lebh r. i. He is said to be an ahle seaman, and even to have fonnerly served on hoard English ships. 'lirahim, Paella of Brussa, is still encamped - , ear Jujukedere, on the Bosphorus ; he has received fresh reinforcemerts of troops from Asia. One th.e first officers of this Paella has bee- lately pro. to-ted, and has lately received the horse-tails. There have Leen also restored two loth er l'achas, who were lately deposed ; one of them received the govern lent of Candia, with orders t.) restore tranquillity in that island.

We have a :Urine denunciation ►."al sentence of death upon the murderer—we ::ave a divine commandment ... ...... u. it to kill, anti where is the man, General or Private, Kiig or lieggar, who will dare to stand forward and arrogantly place his ephemeral &duns in Ipposition to these repeated declarations of the Supreme Being !—but if such there tse, let the con. scientious soldier fearlessly point out the passages we have quoted, awl then ask ant who would order hir , to Ity in the face of his Creator's commands, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto y.m, more than unto Goil, judge ye." This short examination into the mural and religious duty of a soldier we cannot better conclude than by the following extract from a funeral sermon preached the 19th of August last on the death of her law Majesty, by the Rev. W. J. Fox. Am _ti ilk.: most remarkal le works of the lute days is the execution of V eli Pad's, and Monitar l'act.a of *loannina. The first was in exile at Ku- • tahii; said tite see.mul at Kaissarige. Greek, dis- . guised us a Dervise, served there as a spy ; he was ; arrested at Cunstantin.iple, and the correspondence t; ,und on him betrayed tl e secret of the sons of the tyra" t .1 Epirus. _ _ _ " I have often adverted to the military profession, and my opinion on its inanuistency with Christianity has gone before the public, in some measure with your sanction. Whatever may be the just righta of self defence, whatever of universal arming and orgtmization may be 'ay the gospel to an invaded nation, it is astonishing to me that any one can read the New T.stsinent and think its believers sanctioned in making use of arm, a pro fission, in giving up their conscience% to a superior, and being accessary to the destruction of human life, without the fullest conviction of its strict justice and ebsolute neccieity in every pa.ticidar case. Such a sliedelmg of blood as has just occurred, (and though the instance is at hand and impressive, bunoreds us wild. the Salim: reasonings apply must occur in a soldier's life,) though it may, fur aught I know be legal ; though it may, for aught I know, be duty in the military sense; though it may, for aught that I shall argue here, be politically praiseworthy ; is what, I Mirk, ii Christian can lay his hand lus heart and say lie would do—or that lie would not rather be the wretchtelest slave on the face of the earth than have the 11101111 responsibility of such .'em's. lie dares not, lie cannot think; that any autho rity, any , professional regulation, any legal ph:us:non, will be on availing plea, a rec. ;mined licence for destroying a fellow creature, at the bar ,if God. F.-r 3 0 years, Christian and Soldier were universally held incompatible terms. %Vliat has united them Certainly not a dearer understanding of the spirit of the gospel." The royal Fre..ch frigate the Lily 'tas Urtright to Smyrna ltear-Admiral Halgan; he immediately hoisted his flag hoard La Guerriere.

" 1 infor your Excellency that I arrived befine Livadia on the 23d of June, and encamped. here with toy arny. The Rajas had mur.lereit. the greater part of the Mussub len in thfs province, violate I the. females, and made their families slaves. They persisted in their rebelli..., r.rd whirr. they learned that troops were advanci-g agai , st them, the insurgents of the surrounding ,:istricts unite,' th se ‘..1..• formed their admaneeil p..sts in the Mores, and entrenched themselves in Livadit. prevent the de,‘Jlation the cam .try, and t.. treat t':ent with moderatim, I sent several !lags of trice to them ; summering them t • avoid the i.

" Without paying die slightest attention to this generous offer, tl a insurgents agreed together that they would not suffer themselves to Fe c.,..sitlereil us Rajas in future, anti beam a fire of enam.:t and musketry from the f...rt and entrenchme .ts. " Early in the ..-orniog the army drew up in three lines, rod l'ega.. the !attic. Victory declared for the Igussul• - ;en , and the greater part of the insur gents were cut to pieces.

" In this eitgagmtent there have perishel ia all above :3,001 of the enemy, partly y the sword and partly by the flames. As the Koran says, Wher. thou hest gained a victory over thy enemy, thou shalt pardon Mr!. in order te. testify thy gratitude,' :he remainder of the insurgents could reckon on the : - .agmanimity and r.didness of the Sublime Porte, v.hich was in fact towards them when they dxlared their begged permission to return tc their . .'t:•uses. A Ilaluk liasehi was ordered inr this purpose, with a detachment of troops, to n.ceice them in the castle, and to eanduct them hack to their dwellings. This was .lone in solemn pro cession, amidst the acclamations of the eunluerors, carrying before them the standards taken from the rebels." At Smyrna tranquility is restored.
