The Government constantly exerts itself to maintaia order, and to protect the Franks : it. appeart . (a be now able to attain its object. Se veral markets are again open to-day, and we hope thut things will continue to go on better. A powerful fleet is fitting out against the Greeks in the Archipelago, who will probably be alarmed by the news from Wallachia. If the differeuces with Russia should be arranged, as we hope, trade will soon revive. The Greek Patriarch lately murdered at Con stantinople was three times elevated to that dignity and twice deposed. The first time was because he had saved the Christians front the fury of the Turks, who wonted to make the Greeks responsible for the French invasion of Egypt : lie was then banished to Mount Athos. He was restored to his dignity some time afterwards, and again deposed and ba nished during the war with Russia, and when an English fleet appeared before Constantinople. His unhappy fate, after hie third elevation, is well known. In private life he is said to have been . modest, affable, and of strict integrity. ITHACA, JULY 4. Poblic Journals contain the, following statements, which, however, are not authenticated : The solemn declaration of neutrality by the Se nate of the lonian Islands was vain. The Turks received from the beginning much assistance from the English Consols and ships, without which they could net maintain themselves so long in the for tresses of the Mores. When the Greeks rose on the 4th of April in Pau -torso, the Turks set fire to two quarters of the town, and then retreated into Abe citadel. The neat day the Greeks came down from the mountains of Kalawita, and joined the country people to besiege the citadel. The Turks, by the tarsus of the English and by the packet boat the Clifton. sent word of their distressed si tuation to the ruche commanding before Joana, and the Captain Poch■ of Pervena ; and received answers by the means of the same packet through Thomas Berthold, the Interpreter to the Consulate. The result was, that in the night of the 14th April jib Turkish cavalry were lauded near Pausal's, and the besieged, thus reinforced, made a sally from the citadel. As a Turkish brig came up at the same time, and fired on the town, anti the English gave oat that 8.000 Turks had arrived, the Greeks lost their courage and retreated to their mountains. The Turks then fell upon the town, obese they burnt, plundered, and murdered at dis cretion. While the English Consul, Jacob Philip Green, remained inactive, M. H. Pouqueville, the French Consul. afforded assistance of every kind, and was very serviceable to the Greeks.

Important dispatches have arrived at Vienna from St. Petersburgh. Baron Lebzeltern does not ap. pear to have arrived as yet at St. Peteraburgb, where his presence is requisite, (ruin the turn which affairs are taking in the East of Europe. Imme diately afte► the arrival of the dispatches, a Council was held, and Prince Nletternicli went to his Ma jesty at Schoubrtn►n. Au important declaration is said to have been made by Ru►eis to the great Powers on the subject of her relations with Turkey, and of the preparations for war ordered by the Emperor Alexander. Tlx intelligence spread with incredible sapidity at 'Vienna, it even appea►ed the Government was desirous that asereliants should be informed of it, that they might not make erroneous speculations. That was the more necessary, as previously intelligence in some degree of an official nature had been circulated that Russia would not in ! ter fere with the concerns of Greece, and that no war , would take place. Since the arrival of the last di.- ' p.tclies, war is considered as inevitable, siuce there is a question of satisfaction for personal insult. It is ' thought our Government will immediately give such orders with regard t• military affairs as the present circumstances appear to require. Several couriers have set out with .dispatches fur different Course. Count Golowkin, the Russian Ambassador at the Court of Vienna, it is bold, has also received intelli gence of a very important nature. Russia was so anxious to prove that if she took part iu the war of the Greeks owners. the Turks, she was drawn into it against her will ; that hitherto she has closed her ears against the voice, not only of the Russian people, but it may even be said of all Christendom ; and that she has incurred the censure of some persons by the slowness of her decision. • Letters lately received from Vienna, leave It no longer doubtful, that it is impossible the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh should continue the system of neutrality it has hitherto observed. We are in daily expectation of hearing of the much of the Russian army. MADRID. AUGUST 6. t. - baths Their Majesties have returned from the of Sacedon, sod mode their entry into this capital .an the ad inst. The day following his Majesty caused an Order of the Day to be posted, in which be state., that ►►o acclamation that greeted him was more agreeable than that of " Lung live our Con stitutional King !" and adds, that they who thought to please him by other exclamations, bad on the coutrary acted i►► a manner very unwelcome to his feelings. On this occasion an incident had nearly changed the general joy to mour►►ing. As his Majesty's carriage was passing la Puerta del Sol, amidst a , -• pa s se% exp lese Preceeded f terrace S t. Philippe. the Consent Op' slab box was found which lamligtttta charged wits a quantity of powder, and was umpoli torn by the explosion. This sort of " infernal ma chine" was so awkwardly arranged, that it did not do the least mischief. Alarm, however, was general, and a somewhat violent movement took place amongst the assembled multitude. Several of the national greed threw down their arms, ran off, and shut themselves up in their dwellings. Two individuals have been arrested, as accused of being implicated in this criminal attempt.--(Josirsal de Paris.) , THE BRITISH PRESS. ; LONDON, TUESDAY, AUGUST Si, ISM The Paris Papers of Friday last remove very little of the doubt that has so long prevailed re specting the probability of a war between Russia and Turkey ; h however seems to be the better option that the Cabinet of Saint Petersburgh has resolved to submit its quarrel with the Porte, its demands of compensation for commercial injuries. and its claims 6f satisfaction for insult, personally offered to the representative of the EMPEROR, to the several Powers of Europe, and to act with re gard to the affairs of Turkey in unison with them. The delay that has already occurred justifies this opinion, for if the Emperor ALRIANDER Were merely waiting for some plausible pretence for in terfering in the concerns of Turkey, he would have hastened his army over the frontiers on receiving the first intimation from Baron Sraosoeorr of the indignities to which his Excellency had been exposed in Constantinople, and it is certain that had he so acted he might very easily have justified his conduct upon every principle of national law. There is no injury more serious than so insult wan tonly offered to the representative of • Sovereign ; if suffered to pass unnoticed it operates to the hu miliation of the Sovereign and his country, and seem, to offer a ready inducement for the repetition of such an outrage; it establishes a precedent, the effects of which moot be confined to the party immediately suffering, but must eventually be ex perienced by all other States, especially those whose power way not be equal to the resenting of such injuries. The circumstance, therefore, becomes one in which all Powers are interested, arid it is moreover a point which, like" the point of honour" in private persona, relines so individually and ex clusively to the party immediately affected, that he might very well protest against any interference on the part of others in the arrangement of his per sons) quarrel. That the Emperor of RUSSIA therefore should submit his dispute with the Sultan to other Cabinet., not only argues extreme mo deration upon his part, and the absence of all am bitions motives, but very satisfactorily disproves the charges that had been loudly urged sgainst him, of Iris having excited by indirect means the insurrection of the Christians in the provinces of Turkey, that he might take advantage of them for the puiposes of territorial aggrandizement. It is said in a conti nental Payer that Europe in general complains of the slowness of the Russian Cabinet; it ought to have been that the spirit of civilisation mourns over the continued existence of • Power in the finest portion of Europe, which sets as a barrier against the progress of intellectual and moral improvement, and reflects a disgrace even upon those countries where the superior cultivation of the understanding vhews by the force of contrast the humiliating effects of its iiifluence. We fear very much that all the good feelings of our nature will have to mourn for many years to come the con tinuance of this moral nuisance ; the Powers of Europe will never be able to agree upon the best and safest mode of abating ir. The power of Turkey will continue to exist for some years longer in the sufferance of other nations, but it at length nru.t either sink before the vigorous attack of some foreign assailant, or what is perhaps more probable, will crumble to pieces from the repeated shocks of internal convulsions. it would seem from an article of intelligence in one of the Paris Papers, that an attempt as silly as it was criminal was made in Madrid, by the explo sion of gunpowder, to alarm the King of SPAIN as he was making his public entrance into his capi tal, on returning from the baths of Sacedou. We have celled the attempt criminal, in the presump tion that it was effected by some persons ill-dispos ed to the Ktaces welfare; but it must be admit. ted that the affair bears something of a ludicrous character. An explosion of gunpowder was heard as if from a neighbouring convent, but no ac cideut happeGed, nor does it appear that the explosion was sufficiently near to the KING, or to his attendants, to effect any injury to him or to the persons in his suite. Indeed it is almost a gratuitous assumption, so far as the evidence now extends, to consider the circumstance as having been directed at all against the KING ; and no danger appearing. one is astonished to read of " the great alarm" that was felt by the crowd, and that " some of the national guard threw down their arms, ran away, and concealed themselves is their - s -6 ',. • %, ) 09\ Ztam 1166 is l ar2:7 ludicrous. sod excites a saspitabe the truth of the west. or at least of the circumstances which are _ _ • Dutch papers to the 18th instant have arrived. —They mention, under the Fowl of Haruburgh, report that a Congress on the affairs of Totkey will be held neat month at Preshurg.

FROM THE SPANISH M tw.--The schooner Franklin, BA arrow, has arrived at Norfolk from St. Thomas's, whence she sailed the 2d inst. A St. Thomas's Paper of the 29th ult. received by this ves sel, notice', the arrival there of the schoonti Waterloo, four days from Legally, with several emigrants. They state that the Independent troops,] under command of General BOLIVAR, had occo-t pied the suburbs of Careens. It was therefore cos.! eluded that they had entered the capital, and tat, consequence of numbers of blacks having joinedi the Independents, the Commandant of Loguira coated that city. The garrison and inhabitants hod been received on board the vessels in the har bour, and proceeded to Puerto Cabello under con voy of a Spanish frigate. The Esea made his public entree into Dublin on Friday. An account of this imposing and interest ing ceremony is given in another part of oar Paper. It would appear from the following anecdote that Ireland may expect a repetition of the royal visit : At sn adjourned Meeting of the Committee of Ci tizens, on Wed nesday, an eulogium was pronounced upon the affability displayed by his MAJESTY to all around him on his binding at Howth, to which Al derman SMITH, the Chairman, added, that Sir BENJAMIN BROMLFIELD had mentioned, io pre sence of the Nobility, the Lord Mayor, and the Judges of the laud, that his MAJESTY was delighted with the beauty of the country ; as far as he had seen of it, he did not conceive there was such a beautiful spot in his dominions, it was his intention to revisit it soon, and remain there for two or three months.

The Neapolitan General Para passed through Exeter on Taesday morning for London. His MAJESTY has had the condescension to observe to an Irish Nobleman, that "he never felt himself so perfectly a King as since he came to this country." At ■ dinner given by his MAJESTY in the Park, on Wednesday, the Dutch Ambassador Baron FAGEL, was present. He was, according to the custom of his Court, decorated with some orange ornament. On his MAJESTY'S observing the decoration, he is reported to have said to the Ambassador—" My Dear Baron, this is a very excellent colour in the Neihrrlands, but in this country it does not do so well; I pray you lay it aside for my sake." This anec dote, which we relate on very high authority, re minds as of a letter our Londonderry Correspondent has written to us on the subject of an orange display that took place in that city on the Ittli, but we have pledged ourselves to bury for ever all the acri mony of party politics, and on such a day as the present, we cannot stop even to remonstrate with our misguided fellow -countryman of Derry.— (Dublin Evening Herald.)
