Having juetitied the insurrection, it proceeds.' • Greece, however, surmounting every obstacle, has be come at this day, at the price of her Wood, free from the Muuulinan tyranny throughout the gr ea t er pa r t o f h er territory. NO hope now remains to the followers of Sta. Wan of again profaning the threshold of the disciples of the Gospel. " Greece is free! The whole nation is armed, and -watches her security, she is certain of conquest because she is resolved to die buried beneath her own ruins, rather than again beml her neck to the yoke. She at present feels the imperious necessity of union and consolidation, under the parental sceptre of a Christian, apostolic, and orthodox monarch, in order to Conn under him an independent ling dom. and to become by his position a 'stronger barrier than the Ottoman empire fur the neighbouring powers. " This kingdom once established, Greece will be:reatly to adopt all the laws which would be judged useful and advantageous either for the interests of her regeneration, or fur that of European policy. She demands a christian monarch, and royal blood, as that alone will re- e stablish public and private tranquillity, destroy civil discord, stifle all private pretensions to power ; that alone will guarantee our holy religion, will fasten the holy bands with the holy Roman Pontiff, whom we acknowledge as the centre of unity, as the Chief Shepherd of the Universal Church, of Jesus Christ, both East and West, without, however, any alteration or change of the sacred rites, discipline, cute. toms, and institutions of the Greek Church • the whole under the belief, and in manner entirely cot:formable to what was decided in the Holy Council of Florence. Such is, Moat Holy Father, the desire of the Provisional Govern ment of the Metropolitans, of the Archbishops, Bishops, and of all the Elders of Greece. August mysteries! sub. lime and wonderful decrees of the wisdom of a Got who watches over the nations of Christians, redeemed by the precious blood of his only Son! The Meek Lamb, the most worthy Patriarch of Constantinople, Gregory expired upon the veaffuld by the sanguinary ruder of the Sultan, a declared enemy of the Christian name. It was thus perished his illustrious predecessor the Learned Pa triarch Cyrillus, after having been torn hom his native place, Adrianople. The fate of the gftter part of the Synod has been similar to that of its venerable Chief. Their forsaken bodies were delivered to the Jews, who, in hatred of Christianity, after having dragged them through the streets, venting imprecations upon them, and treating them with all manner of outrage, threw thou into the sea. The body of the patriarch was saved from the waves, and secretly picked up by a Christian, who trans pened it to Odessa, where it was buried with all the Ito noun befitting his rank and virtues. 'flie oilier victims were not so fortunate, except the venerable octogenarian Denys, metropolitan of Ephesus, who, after having been dragged through the dirt by the Jews, was at last sold to the Greeks for its weight in gold, and buried in the church of the most Holy Virgin at Ikea. " The Greek Church was then reduced to widowhood, without a synod or a bead. The Sultan created new Pa triarchs and new Bishops to occupy the empty places of those holy men slain by his exterminating sword. But in free Greece, amid the tumult of arms, the provisional Go vernment has occupied itself with assembling the ecclesias tical heirareby in Synod ; with declaring the new Patriarch and Bishops illegitimate intruders, and with an athewiatising with all the rigour of the canons, all who should acknow ledge or communicate with them, so that they were only obeyed among that portion of the Greeks who yet groan under the tyranny of the Turks. In this state of widowhood Greece returns to the Roman Pontiff, the Vicar of Christ and Supreme Chief of the Church ; she prays him unite all the faithful shepherds with the children of the Greek Church, of whatever rank, dignity, or condition they may be, and treat them as his own children, according to the promise of divine wisdom. (Et fief soon *vile, el souls pesters) " The example of the Greek Church, when welded to the Roman Pontiff, will soon be followed by that of her daughters, the Churches of Bulgaria, Smits, Aloblavia, and even Russia, and it will then be that the prophecy of the gospel will be accomplished : " Ut flies Jr. qui (rani Ilia peal eottgregarel in varim."t Providence, most Holy Father, seems to open this means to you, to recal to your holy authority all the dispersed cheep; if your Holiness hesitated a moment in acceding to the wishes and desires of the Greeks, yet would render your- self a sinner against him who instituted your authority, via., Christ our Divine Lord; and then at your last hour, when all the faults of your life will be drawn to. gofer to be presented to your dying eyes, with what fear wouhl not your souls be assaulted when the voice of the Holy Ghost would resound in your ran the words formerly inspired by Lim in the Prophet Ezekiel : "Et disperse' aunt owes met, eh quod non esset pastor, nequc elite' quce- 1 siverunt pastores mei gregem 'ileum ; reel paseebant pas- 1 tores semetipsos, et greges tacos non pascebant.": The address then endeavours to show that to accomplish this object it is not necessary that the Pope should subject himself to any expense or sacrifice. All that is requir ed ice, that he should, as the Vicar of Jesus Christ, intercede with the Princes of Europe in favour of the Greeks. The ex. amples of his predecessors who have done so, arc pointed out for his imitation.

Th.• following narrative of the atrocious massacres in the prisons of Paris, plaaned by Danton and his associates, on the night of the 30th and Ste of August, 1793, and known as the work of the Septemberizere, is eat:serest from the History of the French Revolution lately written by 'ti Thiers and M. Rodin. " Three years before, it peon named Maillanl figured at the heel of the band of wipes who marched to Ver 4ailks on the famous Stb of (Weber. This Maillsel was 'a bailiff by wecupatioa ; in mind, intelligent; in disposi tion, ranguinaq ; and, Mace the unquiet times of the re httion had left every roan at large to etre his own Ms fluene, without say cowered or impediment, lie had col- Ilected together a band of ignorant and low-born associates, Who weft prepared for every desperate undertaking. li e himself was captain of this bead ; and, if we may credit • discovery which transpired so long a time after the crest it refers to, he was employed by. Dalton and his party is the execution of the most atrocious cruelties. He was ordered to place himself is a situation best calculates' to effect his dire intention; is prepare instrument. of death; I to take every precaution to stifle the cries of his victims; I.bod to have viuegar„holly-hrosaii. lime, land covered car riages in readiness for all those purposes." Oa the Id of Szptesober,-i -" The ministers assembled tar hotel of the marine de partment only waited to Denton, to hold their Council. The whole city waste tiptoe. Terror reigned in the prisons. The Royal Family, to whom every noise seemed menace, anxiously demanded the cause of so much agitation. The gaukru of the several prisons appeared struck with conster nation. Ile who had the tare of the Ablaye sent away his wife and children in the morning. Dinner was served to the prisoners two hours before the accustoms! time and all the knives were takes Irma their plates. Alarmed at these circumstances, the victims demanded the cause with importunity, but could obtain no answer. At two o'clock the generale commenced beating to arms ; the tocsin sounded, and the alarunt cannon was fired. Troops of citisens crowded to the Champ de Mars ; others sur rounded the commune and the assembly ; and all the public places were, in like manner, thronged to elem. " This was the moment chosen for the transfer of eighty recusant priests from the Hotel de Ville to the Abbey. l They were removed in hackney-cosehee, escorted by Memel and some confederates, and conducted at a slaw papa toward, the Faubourg St. Germain, along the pass, the l'ont Neuf, and the Rue Dauphine. The rabble sur rounded the carriages, and heaped upon them every insult. The confederates pointed them out: Behold,' said they, ' the conspirators *lto had designed to murder us, our wives, and children, whilst we were on the frontiers.' These words heightened the indignation of the multitude. The doors of the coaches were opened, and the unfortu nates within endeavoured to eliut them to shelter themselves from the . outrages which assailed them, but the attempt was ineffectual, and they were forced to sit patiently under the assaults of the infuriated populace. They at last ar rived at the court of the Abbaye. An immense crowd had collected there to meet them. This court led to the prisons, and communicated with the saloon where the sec (ions of the ' Four Nations' held their sittings. The first carriage drew up before the door of the committee, and was immediately surrounded by a throng of furious locking men. Maillard was already there. The coach door being opened the priest nearest to it descended, and was making his way towards the committee, when he fell covered with a thousand wounds. 'l' lie second end, &Toured to draw back, but was dragged out by force, and suffered the fate of the former. The two °there shared the same fate, and their murderers then abassioned the Ora carriage, and betook themselves to those which followed. These entered, one after another, the fatal court, and the last of the eighty priests expired amidst the savage acclamations of the furious rabble. " At the moment of the consummation of ibis bloody deed, Hillaud-Varrennes le...ived on the spot. Of all those concerned in these I:igittful massacres, he alone dared constantly to approve of them, and appear personally active in their perpetration. lie now came boldly forward, and, with his scarf of office on his shoulders, walked in the blood, and trampled on the bodies of the murdered priests, addressing at the same time the butcher thr o n g a b ou t hi m . People, said he, you have done your duty, you have I sacrificed your enennes. The , voice of Mediated was im mediately after heard above the crowd. There is nothing more to be done here,' cried he, ' let us go to the church of the Carmelites.' "In this place uon priests were confined. The gang broke into it, and the unhappy victims, giving up all hope ejaculated a prayer to heaven, embraced one another, and resigned themselves to death. The Archbishop of Arles was first sought out, and, being soon discovered, was de 'patched by a sabre cut over the neck. But the sword was found too dilatory a weapon ; Are arms were, therefore re sorted to, and general discharges of musketry quickly strewed the church with the bodies of the dead ; some also full in the garden, others, in attempting to climb over the walls, and some in the trees, where they had endeavoured to conceal themselves. " IVlrilst this massacre was carrying on at the church of the Carmelites, Mallard, with a party of his band return ed to the Abbaye. lle presented himself at the section of the Four Nations, covered with perspiration and blood, and demanded ' wine for his brave comrades, who had de livered the nation from its enemies.' The committee, struck with consternation, granted him twenty-four pints. " This was served out upon tables in the court, in the midst of the mangled bodies of those slain in the afternoon. Th 3 wine was scarcely drank when another atrocious scene took place. Mallard, who was the leader in all these mas sacres, pointing to the prison, cried out ' d I' Abbaye ' (to the Abbey). Ile then led the way, and was followed by his gang, who assaulted the gate of the prison with violence. The poor wretches within heard the din, and considered it a signal for their death. The gaoler and his wife fainted through fright. The doors were burst open. The first prisoners who were laid hold of were dragged out by the feet, and thrown bleeding into the court, to be butchered by the mob. Meanwhile Mallard and some of his most faithful comrades demanded the gook r's register, and the keys of the several prisons. (Inc of the gaolers, however, more bold than the rest, cadeavosred to remonstrate ' • and, advancing tenants the wicket of the door, he mounted on a stool, and addressed the multitude: ' 41y friends,' said he ' I ace you are bent upon the destruction of the aristocrats, the ene mies of the people, who have eonspired against the lives of your wives and children. In this you are undoubtedly right but you are geed citizens, you love justice, and world be shocked . to dep your hands in innocent blood.' ' Yes, yes,' cried out the executioners. ' I ask, then,' re sumed the gaoler, ' if you do not expose yOUrself to the danger of confounding the innocent with the guilty, alien you rush like tigers upon your prey, waling no distinction, and listening to no appeals.' 11, re he was interrupted by one of the gang, who flourishing his sabre, exclaimed • ll'ould you bare us sleep in the midst of danger ? If the Prussians and Austrians were at Pails, would they distinguish between guilt and innocence? I base a wife and children, whom 1 wJI not leave in danger. If you think fit, give the scoundrels arms, and we will engage an equal number of them, Ina Paris thus: Le purged before we depart." Bight, right,' exclaimed many emote, sad a push was made figward; cevertheless they were at last prevailed on to desist, and consent to a species of trial. f he gaoler's books were then given up, and it was decided t h a t one of the band should be appointed president, to ree l the names, and the cause of every priseetier'• denti tion, and that immediate sentence should be passed or all the culpripts. The Loden' of electing a kwftiarte now engaged the attention of all, sod the natte of Maar(' was shouted from every quarter. This bkiod.thirsty butcher was, therefore, instantly invested with his terrific but eon , genial authority; and, sated before a table covered with • . i the pokes registers. turd surrounded by a few of his gang, chosen at random front the multitude, to assist hint by their advice, the prisoners were summoned, one after another, before his appalling judgment sea:. They were led out to their trial by hands already dyed in blood, and then thrust among the wild beasts, panting for their destruction. The sentence of con demnation was pro , nounced in these words—' Monsieur a la Ford (to (to the j prison of La Force), and the unfortunate vietlllrhas then precipitated through the p.trtition which separated the; Judges front the exce . .Atoll/is, and found his death on the, blades of sabres already clotted with carnage. " The first who went brought letere this dread tribunal were the Swiss soldiers imprisoned in the Abbaye, whose officers had been reronred to the Conciergerie. ' You are those.' said Maillard, ' who assasainated the people oh the loth August.' But we were attacked,' replied the unfi r tunates, ' and obeyed out commanders.' It dots not signify,' resumed Maillard. coldly, and pronour.ccd the sentence A la Force.' The wretched victims could not mistake the dire import of these words, for they perceived the menacing sabres on the other side of the wicket ; they ,hung back, and crowded behind one another in fear ful recoil, till one, more bold than the rest, asked, 1 ' Whither he must pass.' The door was opened to him ; land, stooping his head, he rushed with hopeless despera non into the midst of sabres and pikes. The rest followed 'his example, and shared his fate. " The females were all now locked up together in the wile room, and other prisoners were brought forward. Suveral accused of forgers nest suffered. After them the celebrated titontmorin, whose acquittal hail caused so much discontent. but bad not gained him his freedom. was let l out. tieing presented to the blood-stained President, he declared that he had been tried by the regular tribunal, and could acknOwlettge smother. It!it es,' replied !fails lard, prepare, nevertheless, for a different ssntence.' The es-Minister. who uadoutood not this language, asked for a ca'riage. Ile was answered he would tin".l one at the it aof . lie then itlututteal permission to take With hint a few necessaries, but, receiving no answer, he advanced towards the wicket, and there discovered and fell into the suare of death. " After him, Thiery, the valet-dcschambre of the king, was led forward. Like master, like man,' exelaimed Medlar& and he was instantly assassinated. Boob and Bocquillon then advanced. They were accused of having been members of a secret otientnittee held at the Tuileries, and this was sufficient fur their condemnation and death. The night was now fast approaching, and the prisoners, hearing the acclamations of the assassins, felt they had but a few moments to live. " This frightful massacre lasted the whole night. The executioners and judges alternately exchanged their situa tions. Wine stimulated their thirst for blood, and the gob lets out of which they drank were marked with the prints of their blood-dropping ringers. 'let in the midst of this car nage some victims were spared, and their lives were granted to them with every frantic demonstration of drunken joy. One young man, who was claimed by one of the section;, and de- elated free from aristocracy, was acquitted in the midst of acclamations of Long live the nation !' and carried in triumph in the blood-stained arms of the executioners The venerable Surobreuil, governor of the invalids, was afterwards led forth and condemned. His daughter, from the middle of the prison, heard his fate pronounced, and lb pringing forward, darted into the midst of the plkes and sabres, clung round her father, and implored mercy from the murderers in such an heart-piercing accent, and such torrents of tears, that their fury was for a moment 6U G• pentled. To put her sensibility to the test, they offered her • goblet full of blood. Drink,' said they, drink the blood of the aristocrats !' She drank, and her father was sa►ed. The daughter of Caaotte also succeeded in rescuing her parent in like manner ; but she was still more happy and obtained his safety without undergoing such a horri , :le test of her affection. " These scenes caused tears to stream from the eyes of the assassin., yet they returned immediately to demand fresh victims ; and one of those who had . diaplayed this sensibility instantly resumed his dreadful office ut loading out the prisoners to death, and was on the point of killing the Fuger, because he had not supplied his victims with wa ter for the last twenty-four hours. Another of these singular monsters interested himself in a prisoner whom he was lead ing to the wicket, because he heard him speak the language of his country. Why are you here,' said he to 51. Journiac de Bt. Mean), ' Urn are not a traitor, the president, who is no fool, will give you justice. Do not tremble, but answer me.' He was resented to Atillaird, who looking over the register—' Ali, said he, Journiac, you are he who wrote in the journal of the court and the city.' Nu,' replied the prisoner, it is a calumny; I never wrote in it.' 'Fake care,' replied falsehood is punished here with death. Did you not recently absent yourself to join the army of the emigrants ?' • Thisia another calumny,' replied he; ' 1 have a certificate attesting that I have been for the last twenty-three months in Paris. WhosecertiScate is it? Is the signature authentic?' Happily for Al. de Juurn iac a person was present to whom the subscnbtr of the certificate was personally known. The signature was, therefore, declar ed worthy of credit. You see then,' resumed h. Juurniac, that I have been calumniated.' If the calumniator was here,' replied Maillard 'he should receive terrible justice. lot answer me, were you imprisoned here for nothing ?' ' No,' answered M. de Journiac, I was known for an aris tocrat. Aristocrat ?' Yes, aristocrat ; but you are not here to judge of opinions, but actions; mine are blameless ; I have never conspired ; my soldiers, in the regiment which I command, are devoted to ins, and, when at Nancy, urged me to seise on Malseigne.' Struck with such courage, his judges fixed their eyes on him with astonishment, and Median! gave the signal of pardon. Immediately therein of ' Live the nation !'resounded from all parts. Alt hastened toembrace him ; and two of the by-stantlers, enclosing him in their arms, led him safe and sound through the hedge of swords and pikes which a few minutes before menaced his life. U. de Journiac offered them money, but they re fused it, and only asked permission to embrace him. Another prisoner, saved in the same manner, was conducted to his house with similar enthusiasm. The execution. s, all covered with blood, begged to be permitted to witness the joy of his family, and immediately after returned to the carnage. In such a state of over-wrought excitement, the mind is keenly alive to all the emotions and instincts of its nature ; they succeed each other rapidly and eonvul sively, alternately melting and firing the soul, and hurry ing those who have resigned themselves to their unre stained away from one extreme to the other with wild caprice ; the passions, which seemed one moment tjueachtd in tears, rise the next in flame; the whole man is subject to delirious changes, and,he weeps and assassinates,with the same heartfelt sincerity, in the short space of • few minutes. Whilst wading in blood, he is arrested by ad miration of courage or devotion ; he is sensible of the honour of appearing just, and vain of the semblance of disinterestedutss. The events of the deplorable period which we are now narrating afford many instances of these striking contrarieties; and among this uumber must be recorded the circumstance of the rubbers and mur derers of this night depositing the jewels found on some of the prisoners with the committee of the abbey. " But the massacre of the captives was not confined to I one prison. The gang, having set their tools to work at the! abbey, detached parties to follow their example, at the Cltatekt, the Concietgerie, the Bernadius balpetriete, and the Bicetre prisons, all of which were surrounded with Ins:teed carcasses and streams of blood. When the morn. ieg dawned upon the havoc of this frightful night the spectacle it presented to the broad glare of day was as sickening as it was horrifying. Billaud-Varreent repaired early to the abbey, where, the evening before, he had encouraged his miti•llien, as he termed them. lie now again addressed them. Nly friends,' said he, in 'laugh ; teiing these wretches you have saved your country. !Prance owes you an eternal debt of gratitude, and the munici pality is at a lose how to aelsnowleelge your mull.
