After the nerd victory of the Greeks on the 11 th of October, martial law was proclaimed in our island; the ordinary trihnnals were immediately suspended, end the most of our distinguished islanders were arrested and thrown into prison. without knowing rant was imputed to them or this fate vide!, awaited them. The principal are— Cslyvaa, Dionysirs, Toliopetre, his nephew Ps nagente, Michel Verecios, Dion3sios Damaliane, Spyredon Sicoure, Emit:tubing, Cariates, the bro thers John and Demetrius Pethamencsa, ■nd Con stlustine flieracure. A great iinniber of I)ee►ents have been confirms ed to death by military commissions. After the executions, their (lewd bodies were thrown into cages of trots, in which they are still exposed on the summits of Dill•, as if by way of menacing the rest or the people with a similar fate. After this scene of horror and terror, the Government ordered the general disarming of the whole island. The inhaltitatito or the capital with murmuting obeyed this order, but the inhabitants of the coun try still continue to resist. They regard this dis arming es the last degree of dishonour to which they can be exposed. The Government, by way of coustraining them, had recourse to another measure : it invited the citizens the dearest to the people to repair to the church of Our Lady of Petrides, when it seized them as hostages, and now retains them in the cite. del. They are 54 in number ; the following are the names of souse of them :—Coccine. Pergadinoo and Ventourr, all three clergymen; Stelliug Meca lire, Julius Domestigine, Nicolas Messalit, Peter Mserys, Robert ■nd Dion3sitss Solomon, Marcus Flamhouriate, Dolor and Diouysios Volterra, Gradenigue and Nicolas Psemsirs, John Secoin, Tlwophilus Fiancopole, &c. Notwithstanding this measure the peasants still persist in not giving tip their arms. Fresh English troops have disembarked in the Island; a squadron composed of frigates and vessels of war has its bat teries directed agaiust the town. Wherever we torn our ryes we meet only the @prawns of war; the island has the aspect of a blockaded country. A great number of our istlishitants have voluntarily banished themselves; the movement is far from be ing appeased. The Five per Cents. on Saturday 83 f. 50 e.; Batik Stock 1490 1. LON DON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 3, 1822. The letters brought by the Turkey mail yester day, the latest of which from Constantinople were of the 26th of November, concur generally in the chtracter of their intelligence with that which we had previously collected from the Paris Papers. It is certain that the Janissaries had been guilty of great cruelties towards the Christian inhabitants of •Coustaotiuople for some days previous to the dr immure of the latest advice.; but it is equally cer. tutu that they had to that period evinced no hosti lity towards the Government of the SULTAN, al though there is some intimation of a jealousy to. wards HALED EFFENDI, the chief favourite of their Sovereign. No doubt, however, can be enter tained, that if on the 27th or 28th of November, a, was first reported, the SuLTAN had been mur dered by Lis guard*, authentic intelligence of so important an trent must hate reached us some days since. The original statement is now universally believed to have been altogether unfounded, but in the room of it we ale now favoured by another report, that ear has been actually declared between Russia and the Porte, and that the official account of the passage of the Pruth by the Russian army may be hourly expected. J. The probability of this report will find it ready faith in every political circle. AU accouois, pri vate and public, concur in saying that the Porte has rejected the Ituaniars ultimatum, notwith trratoding the earnest remosistrances of Lord STRANGFORD Bud of the Austrian Nuncio, and that so armious are the military and the mob of Constantinople for a war, that they insulted these mediators, who sought to presence them from the overwhelming torrent of the Russian forces. The ferocious cruelty of the barbarians towards the Greeks, whether es fellow-citizens or as cap tives, is exercised us freely as if the murder of Christians formed a part 4.f the moral, religious, and civil coda 4.f the Mosso!mans ; and, if we may judge front the indifference ur silent approbation of the Sut.Tati, it seems to be in his ej es as meritorious all act us a pilgrimage to the sacred shrine of Altcca, which 11,cKursti declares to be essential to the salvation of a tine believer. The Paris Papers have told us, and plicate accolints repeat the state went, that the di.couifited fleet of the Capitan Preira, in returning to the Dardanelles, happened to seize thirty iiirichilut ship. of the Greek nation, which they took with them that they iii , ght deceve their countrymen with a spew of success. To mark their triumph in u manlier most coup find to the feelings of the barbarians, the Cap tains of the several ships of wa, as they pasted the point of the Seraglio, 'hoisted to the yards the bodice of their wretched Greek cap. lives, and the sight was received with shouts of exultation. The Turkish sailors were then permit ted to land, and as to their minds no difference was perceptible between the murder ill;reeits in the city of Constantinople and on the water, iliey in. dulKed themselves freely in the blood of their vic tims, and it probably SIAM the confusion occasion ed by this massacre that the rumour originated of an insurrection against the Government, and of the murder of the SULTAN. It is to be lamented •that the Greeks had at an early period of the quarrel given up their arms, and reposed for protection upon the faith of a barbarous Government. In their pre sent helpless condition, confined within the limits of the capital, and prevented with jealous care from seeking safety in flight, they offer the image of deer petit within a park, and reserved for the occa sional sport of their iul►urdan masters. It is strange that despair does not excite them to some enterprise for their deliverance. Slaves might not aspire tit freedom, but revenge at least is within the measure of their capacities. The island of Zante appears to continue very much agitated, and so unpopular has Sir THOMAS MAITLAND made himself throughout the lonia!' Islands, that disaffection towards the British Go vernment will moat probably strew itself quickly in very part of the Union. The evident partiality which the head of the lonian Government display ed at an early period of the present war towards the oppressors of Greece, excited in the breasts of the lonians a strong feeling of displeasure. This was raised to ■ high pitch of indignation by the appa rent cruelty of the High Commissioner in recently depriving some Parganotes of their right of resi dence within the Union, on the ground of their having violated the neutrality which it was his Ex cellency's policy to observe. The lonians took but little pains to conceal their sentiments, so that even independent of the attack made by the people of Zante upon a party of British troops who inter fered for the protection of some Turkish sailors against the fury of the populace, it is probable that Sir THOMAS MAITLAND had good reason to apprehend an insurrection against the British authority. From this apprehension flowed his edict for the general disarming of the people; but the measure was considered by them as a gross and wanton insult, and has alarmingly in- creased the hostile disposition of the islanders.... It was very doubtful while the lonian Islands con tinued tranquil and obedient, whether our posses. sion of them was beneficial to the interests of Great Britain; but should the minds of the inha bitants become alienated from our Government, should they !ie made to feel the severity of an austere and despotic authority, instead of the pro tective mildness of a liberal and generous admini stration, and should it finally be found necessary to maintain our possession by the employment of a large army and by the exercise of military law, no doubt can any longer subsist, and it becomes clear to demontration, that either the character of the Government reu.t be ainelioiated, or that the ensigns of Biitiali power ought without any delay to be iemmed flow the sight of a people who have ceased to regard them with sentiments of respect or attachment. We lately stated that requisitions were preparing to be presented to the Sheriffs of the counties of Norfolk and Suffolk, severally requesting them to convene county meetings, for the purpose of tak ing into consideration the depressed and distressed state of agriculture. The Norfolk requisition was forwarded to the High Sheriff of that county on Saturday last, who it is expected will fix Saturday week for the required meeting. The intended Suffolk meeting will nut take place. Its abandon ment is thus explaiued in the Bury St, Edtnuud's Paper We are sorry to announce the abandonment of the intention to call a meeting in Sottolk for the purpose or petitioning Parliament on the one great subject of public distress. The blame of the de sign is attributed to a correspo.tdence which has taken place between some leading men in the county. Of the nature of that correspondence we are not apprised. .tor 47.41 we conceive any sub ject of pristine communication which could be tut adequate reason for relinquishing so itece,sary a proceeding. Persosini convenience we are satisfied would operate with noise at the present period, and political feeling we ►hould have thought nut of the question. But it will be seen in a letter of the Earl STANHOPE, Which we have inserted, how many reasons hove been devised iu another county for refusing to unite in calling for relief. and we do not think it improbable that some of them may have operuted heir. Thu consequence of a gene ral imitation of this example may he, if not an 'acted doubt on the part of the Ministry as to the extent of the evil, the expression of a belief, according with the finely-turned periods of the Re port of lust year's Committee, that things will come round in the course of time. This is the more likely to be their tune, because, if the state ments published can be true, the Government yet feels uo diminution of its finances. The letter that we have referred to should be read with par ticular attention. It conhims the opinions that we have expressed of our present condition, which it satisfactorily traces to the true source; and if it be too late to stimulate this county to assemble, we hope it will produce an extensive adoplion tl e Petitid6 which is subjoined, though in it manner to which less weight and constitutional influ ence' is attuched."—(Bury Paper.) We yesterday gave an gement of the entri of Marquis WELLEsLEY into Dublin on Sotardity.— His Excellency and suite arrived at Howth en the preceding night in the Meteor steam-boat. It ap pears that the LORD MAYOR felt dissatisfied at seeing the two SheriHi made simple Knights, and thus placed on an equality with himself in honours, mid that hence arose the promise of a Baronetcy to his Lordship. The account of the destruction of a whole family of five persons near Charley'lle, which we yesterday copied from the Dublin Papers. proves, u we an ticipated, a scandalous fabrication. There was nothing of any conarquence yesterday at the Stock Exchange. Some good buyers have been in the market, and to-morrow or Saturday next prices will begin to be made fur the next account, which will he ahont the latter end of February. It is expected it will be about half per cent. continuation, and that the market will im prove. The dividends, it is expected, will be paid to the public on Tuesday next. The LORD CHANCELLOR left town on Tuesday for Brighton, and was expected to return to town last evening. His Lordship will attend the House of Lords this day, for the purpose of adjourning Parliament until the Sth of next mouth, when it will meet for dispatch of business. CORONATION Cuata.—On Friday last a large package, containing the chair used by his MAJBS TY at the Coronation, was landed at the quay of Perth, from a London vessel. It was immediately for warded to Drummond Castle, the seat of the Lord Great Chamberlain, where, as the report which ac companied it from London affirms, it is again to be made the seat of Royalty, orders having been given to have it placed in state for the KING on his visit to Scotland heat summer. Without placing much faith in the " wisifallit foam," we are certainly Scottish enough to wish, that, instead of ■ modern piece of furniture, however splendid, it had h.en the ancient coronation chair of Scotland, taken (to use the mildest term) from the Royal Palace of Scone, by EDWARD I.—(Perth Courier.) His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex and the Earl of A LIMIARLIt were expected to arrive at Holkham Hall yesterday, on a visit to the hospita ble owner of that mansion. We understand they will remain guests of our worthy County Member till the 24th instant, when they will come to Nor wich to be present at the Fox Dinner. His Royal Highness is expected to honour DODSON GURNEY, Eay. with his company while in this city; and if Sir FRANCIS BURDETT should be sufficiently re covered from his late accident (having been thrown from his horse while hunting in Leicestershire) ou r respected City Member, IL H. GURNEY, ES.I. hopes to have him as his guest at lieswick.--I.Nor wick Paper.) A meeting of the Owners and Occupiers of Land in East Kent was held at the Fountain Tavern, in Canterbury, on Saturday last, which was attended by the Comity Members, and many of the principal gentlemen of that part of the county. Several trio. lotions, and a Petition to the House of Commons, were adopted by the meeting, of a purport similar to those lately passed at a meeting held iu %Vest Kent. To the notices which we have from lime to time published of the favourable posture of trade, we may add a gratifying view of our commerce with the United States. Its extent is probably more considerable than our readers would imagine. The expoits from Scotland of manufactured goods to various parts of the Union will this year amount to about two millions sterling. The magnitude of the sum will appear more surprising when we consider the restrictions winch prohibit us from taking in exchange agricultural produce. A trade so im portant it behoves us to cherish with all possible care; and it is gratifying to think that customers so valuable are a free people, little likely to impede her prosperity by projects of ambition.--(Glasgoto Ch►osick.) Extract of a letter from Boston (America), dated November 20:---" The recent events iu South Ame rica, indepeodttit of their political influence, are highly interesting to this country in a commercial point of view ; the success of the South American Patriots will open to our commerce ■ continent richly stored by nature. A cargo of domestic ma nufactures has already been shipped from New York for South America ; this I consider to be the beginning of an important trade, and the opening of a new and rich source of wealth to this country." By the Manchester packet from the Leeward have received letter from Tortola to the 4.! November. The crops on that Island assumed a very flourishing appearance, and the Is t was expected to be snore abundant than iii ■ny year airier 1811. His Excellency the Governor hid, at the solicitation of the inhabitants, as well as of the Council, issued a Proclamation, allowing the Im portation of lumber in British ships of every de scription, into that island, fur the space of six mouths from the 24i1 October. By letters under date of the sth December, from Crotuon, Teneriffe, we learn the arrival at Scruta brug, in that island, of a small French squadron, whose intended object was said to be the pursuit of the pirates cruising under the insurrectional flag, against the commerce cf Spain. A short time pre vious to the arrival of the Fri nth iquadion a similar armament, under the Arnericatillag, had appeared Tenerille, also cruising against the pirates. At Crotaon, on the Isth November, they had experi enced the ravages of a dreadful water-spout, which had inundated the country round the villa of Cro und in the inn itself had destroyed many houses, and several lives. IVlist renders this circumstance peculiar is, that the whole Archi pelago of islands are suffering under a dreadful drought, rain baying, fallen once only at Tentriffe and Canary, and none at all in the mote Northern islands of Lancerom and .
