Given at our Court, at Csaillon11•00 9 this Otis day of June,lB2l, in the mewl vert-041r reign. God save de Mgr By a Vessel which arriied lately it Marseilles from Constantinople, intelligence was received as of the beginning of May. The Turkish capital had been during the greater part of April a prey to the utmost violence and alarm, and for three drys, from the With to the 23(.1 of that month, there had been a dreadful massacre of the Greek iirhatitante. Christians of every nation were exposed to great 'danger, and it is known that even the palaces of the Ambassadors were not free from insult and out rage. The barbarous Government of Turkey does not stand relieved from the imputation of having t edeouraged the 'soldiery and rabble of Constanti= Maple in the indulgence of their hatred to the Greeks, when we find that even the sacredness of the episcopal chin-trier, the reverence due to advanced years, and the merit of having at tered a solemn anathema against the insurgent Greeks, were not sufficient to save the ve nerable Patriarch GREGORY from being dragged from the altar, and hanged without the form of trial or even of accusation, by the sole order of the SULTAN, or of his Grand Vizier. This stroci , on. murder being perpetrated, the romans who 'committed it threw the mangled body of the old man to the rabble fur their anstivement, and the `ferocious savage, having dragged it, still covered with the garb of a Christian Bishop, through the streets of the capital, finally flung it into the Bus phorue. Yet this is the Government which, in the opinion of the sage FRANCIS of Austria, and of the instriati'mous ALExiasuita of Russia, ought to be supported against the "criminal" insurrection of the Christian Greeks! From Smyrna, the dates reach down to the 3d of May. At this place tranquillity was in some me mire restored, although u great degree of irritation still subsisted in the minds of the people, and it would require the lapse of time to restore complete order. We have reve:red the Paris Papers of Friday lust. The debate, upon the law of the Budget, which have for some days occupied the atten tion of the Charnirer of Deputies, were iuterrupted on Thursday by a communication from the KING. The Miiiister of the Interior, in the name of his MAJESTY, proposed to the Chamber the confirma tion of the law of the Slat of March, 1820, fur con trolling the liberty of the public press, until the close of the present Session. The Minister urged the ad vantages that had resulted from the restraint impos ed by this law upon po:itical writing•, and remark ed that great danger was to be app.ehe.nded in the present agitated state of Europe, if the public jour nals were to be restored to the full enjoyment of unrestrained liberty. The continuance of the law was., he observed, a necessary defence for the Go.. •eruntent and the country against the dangers of licen tiousness aid anarchy. The project of the proposed law for the continuance of the existing restriction was read, end the Chamber resolved that it should .be examined in the bureaux or committees on Sa turday. The French Five per Cents. were on Thursday 86 fr. 76 c.—B ink Stock, 1,690 fr. Latch Perm to the 9th instant have arrived in our office, but they coutuin no intelligence which •had not been anticipated by arrivals from France. They notice the insurrection in the Christian Pro vinces of the Turkish empire, but it is fur the par:. pee of remarking upon the difficulty of reposing confidence in any accounts received from the scene of action.

He offers his ship to the nation ; the crew end die commander pray to be allowed to serve Spaiir. This Petjtiou has given rise to some debate'. the Cortes have declared that they have heard with pleu• sure the expression of the sentiments of the Veti tioners. TRIMS, MAT 22. It is confirmed by the latest reports from Ra gusa that the Montenegrins have 'isten an active part in the war of Albania, and that they have had some successes over the Turks.

GENERAL DEVEREUX. We have received a copy of an official order issoet!! by General Dtvtazcs, from his head-quarters at Santa Martha, 7th D. camber, 1820, in which he is entitled General of Division of the armies of the Republic, and Commander or the Legion of Ire land ; hot it contains eso intelligence of any iM porrasice.—We have also received a triter of the some date, Coro which the following is an extract. The matter is not new, but as it 'daces in his true rank and station a gen.leutan whose cotillnct hat been so greatly mistepresented, it way prove not destitute of interest " SAIST• MARTHA, DECEMRIRR 7, 1820. " It is seine time since 1 acqinunted you from Baranquille, that agreeably to the coinaionds at ' the President, our worthy commander, General Devereux, proceeded from Marginate with his staff and guard to Rio de It 'lathe, to place himself at the 6.ad of Its Division as Commander-in-Chief of the Expeditionary Army; but finding that place in a heap of ruins, aid the forts occupied by the enemy, lie continued his course to Jamaica, for the purpose of gaining inf,rmation of the move• mews of the twiny. You may judge our surprise aid mortification on finditig that the 14611 Leg bad abandoned the standard, and that the greater part of that division visa then actually in Kingston. Of the circumstances which produced that calami tous event no official report has hoer) received, but it is pleasing to reflect that the division of the Le gion still united under the banners of the Republic has redeemed by its conduct the misconduct of its countrymen. By its spirit and energy at Baratiquilla, Soladed, and Turbaco, a spark was struck which has spread a flame through every patriot breast, and crest ed an army as it were by enchantment, which has li berated the provinces of Rio de la Fische, Cantor germ, and Santa Martha, and secured for ever the independence of the whole of the provinces of New Granada. General Devereux is now waiting for the remains of the Rio de In Hache division, sit present stationed in Turbaco, to join him itere b after which he will proceed situ his staff and guard of honour to Cucuta, where a flue division of the army, to be placed tinder his command, is training. We have suffered much by the yellow fever here this season. having lost at least one& third of the army. The General's Staff alone boa last dues officers, viz.

CURIOUS EXOTICS.. The following paragraph has been i )übliahed in nearly all the London and provincial p Nita : " No less than 6,756 exotics were introd•o-ed into Eng. land in the course of the reign of his late I :lusty ; duriag the reign of Elisabeth, 578; 578 during the vimu of the two Charles's and Cromwell ; 44 in the reign of James 11.; 298 in that of William and Mary; 230 in that of dme; 182 in that of George I.; ao4 1,776 In that of George 11. The total number of exotica ■o* In the guard two Otitis cOdotry appears to be 11,970." A correspondent has furnished as with the names and 'qualities of ■ few of these exotics introduced iu the last reign. lie professes to :speak from 'ape rience, and to describe several of these curious in troductioni iy having grown up nodes his own eye. LONDONDERRY PRIDE.—This exotic has no si maCtude to the little modest Bowen- called Loudon Pride. It is a tree of the forest tribe, atal a native of the North of Ireland. Being without !raves or branches, it is in appearance of the class of tim ber designated by the woodmen " Ram pikes." INCOME TAX.—This is a species of the iJpas tree; the unhappy victim who reposes under its shade must perish in ten years, if not sooner. The first year takes away one tenth of his substance ; the second year ►educes one tenth more. and so on to the 10th rear, which cOniigns him t.o complete annihilation. Ecouoirtr.—:This is a most beau liful little herb, highly prized, and of wooded*, it lit all cases of consumption and del uility it has been found a sovereign cure. Under it t influence, duly administered, weak and exhaust' td constitu tions are recruited, and the healthful at e preserved in their strength and vigour. It is • national dis grace that this truly valuable plant is no I cultivated properly in this country, which appeals so fully sensible of its value. The State Gardet ter neglects its great roots and fibres, content wit h clipping just the poor little ends of its leaves. THE UNION.-..This was a tree of great prcnise, first introduced about 20 years ago. M. Purr ex vected that it would thrive like a grain of mustard send, and cover the United Kingdom eith all the tithes usually attendant upon peace, plenty, and prosperity. The transplantation has disappointed these hopes; brambles and thorns have grown up under its shadow in all the frightful lir turiance of wild and uncultivated nature, to the i stpuverish went of the native soil. The reflections excited by thus disappointment are the more melancholy, as the transplantation was effected by a greit sacrifice of blood and treasure. CAttv.—This is a specious, demure, and appa rently modest-looking herb, not unlike the little flower called Two Faces snider a flood. It is also of a creeping, sticking qulllity, and in that rev pect resembles the crawling plant known in our hedgts and ditches by the mine of Robin ran the hedge.— It certainly flourished iu extraordinary loxurisoce in the late reign, but there is • great doubt whether its introduction be of that date. All our moral and political botanists mention it as very common in England about the time of OLIVER Caordwei.t., and there is frequent notice of it in our Monkish Historians: MOCK LOYALTY. —This most poisonous tweed is an undoubted exotic, but the date of its introduction into this country is not ascertain ed. It never was cultivated in England to ~ u ch high perfection us at the present moment, 'Alt it is a weed, we apprehend, of much longer stanZilig than the late reign. It certainly was not known in this country during the Saxon [lepton:lly, but there is a shrewd conjecture that it may have been introduced into England so far back as the Norman Conquest, as there is very much of the Frenc!i character sod quality in this most detestable and pestilential weed. Its stem is 'hollow, and its fruit always rotten st the core. Unlike the rose, the shamrock, and the thistle, with which it would affect to class itself, you seek it in sain iu a pure and healthful soil, and it is only to be found blooming on dunghills, among filthy fungi slid toadstools, the poisonous excrescences of rtercorsri ous masses of filth and dirt. A new tragedy, entitled " The Oilcan," was performed it the Taunton Theatre, on Monday night. It is from the pen of Mr. H. LEE, the son of the manager, and is said to be a production of considerable merit. Mr. DOWTOF, late of the Theatre Royal, Drury lane, has been engaged to perform four night! , at the Plymouth Theatre, and made his first ap pearance in the character of Sir Jahn Falstaff, ;18 SUAKSPEABS'S play of Henry IV, last evening. when the house re-opened for the summer itasoo. MR. BELZONI.—A Medal has been struck he the City of Padua, iu honour of the celebrated tra seller Bat.zout, who is a native of that place. It appears that ou his return to Europe, he took the opportunity of his first visit to Italy, to present to this (his native) city, two lion headed statues et granite, part of the fruits of his enterprising soil successful researches ; they have been placed iii the great saloon of the Palezza dells Justizia. The inhabitants of Padua. proud of the distinction which thei► fellow citiztn has so justly oluaiiitil. have commemorated the gift as well as the discove ries of the traveller. A young cuckoo was discovered a frw de! , since in the roof of Pe: n no►e-house, near Ibis cit:. where it lied been hatched by a water-wagtail, snit is now daily fed by its foster-mother. It is a well kliowis fact, that the cuckoo ue%et hatches Os tion young, but deposits a solitary egg tor incubation rn the neat of another bird.— ( Exeter Paper. ) -
