S M Y It N A. Extracts from a Journal which was regularly kept by a Alerrhant ho was resident at Smyrna, during the whole period of the late disturbances : • e•IfYRNA, JuNr. 3.---The contents of my letter of the 2d of June will have informed you, that down to that period the city remained perfectly tranquil, with the exception of some assas- Triations which have taken place in the town. Cn the 3d, how ever, some alarm was created by a band of Candiats, about 200 of whom are not on good terms with the Janissaries or with the Turks. The plan was concerted among themselves : a pistol was fired from the Frank quarter of the own, which was the signal for them to begin. They continued to massacre all the Greeks that fell in their way, and afterwards to enter the houses of the Franks or others, and take forcible possession of all the females. This latter was, and continues to be, the principal object which they have in view. They did not succeed ; but in the confusion about 20 or 30 Greeks were killed or wounded. The Pasha took immediate steps to restore order, which was accomplished, and since then the town has remained perfectly tranquil. Ile has also taken measures to bring the Candiats into subjection, and has required from them a guarantee for their future good behaviour. One of the superior Officers of the Janissaries, an Aga, came into the town a few evenings since, and has taken upon himself the supreme command of the Janissaries. Monday', Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thurs i,.ay. have passed off -in a most quiet manner ; and were it not that the shops are shut up, - it would be impossible to imagine that a civil war was raging. •The Greek Archbishop, and several of the inferior clergy, are irr confinement, though not closely imprisoned, at the insti g,ition of the Paella ; it is supposes" in consequence of being implicated in the rebellion. JUNE 11.—Though this place remains tranquil, yet no busi ness is doing. All the bazaars and the shops are shut up. ' • Jer-sr. li;.—At day-light this morning, a Russian vessel was seen at anchor, but the Turks would not suffer her to pass.- Large bodies went out early in the morning, and a great many Greeks were killed ; they continued marching about all parts of the town, in parties of ten, fifteen, and twenty together, killing all the Greeks that fell in their way, till about ten o'clock in the day. Boats had been sent in the mean time to bring the vessel baok, and about twelve o'clock she had nearly arrived among the shipping. About 5,000 Janissaries and armed Turks assembled in the neighbourhood of the Mussehns ; a deputa tion sought an audience of the Mollah ; they represented that at the vessel was nearly among the shipping, they required that she 'should be made to anchor off the Turkish Custom-house, and undergo a strict search, as they knew from positive infor mation, that she had not only a great many guns, but also other warlike stores on board, and they therefore suspected that she was either going to join the rebels, or would sell the ammuni tlon to them. They also asserted, tha there were a great many Greeks on board, who, had improperly obtained foreign passports. The Mollah told them, that if he found that such was really the case, he would take the necessary steps for commencing the scru tiny, but he required a short d.day. They were not;however,in clined to temporize or agree to this request, and interpreting the Mollah's hesitation as a refusal, they, without scruple, fell upon him and murdered him, and the Ayam Basha and the Basha Nyib, for supporting him. It is said, that they would have murdered the Musselhn, and the Turkish and Frank Cllstom-house Officers, could they have found them. They then proceeded on to the Pacha, who received them with the felloWing salutation :—" My friends and brothers, if you have any thing to communicate to me, do it through my brother, wham I depute to convey to me your sentiments." This was They made, the same demand of the Pacha which they required of the Alollah, which he evaded by promising to send an express to Constantinople. Embarkation then became general, and few families remained on shore. JUNE 17.—T0-day opened auspiciously, and no assassina tions were committed. A diTerent spirit seemed to pervade the minds of the Turks. They are parading the town, and from the confession of others, they begin to regret the serious step they had taken in killing the Mollah. Yesterday, after strong representations made to the Russian Consul ; he consented to give up the rudder of • the Russian vessel, and allow a further search, but he refused again to-day. A constant communica tion was kept up to-day between the Pacha and the various Con suls. A strong letter was addressed to the Russian Consul, urg ing hint in firm but reasonable language, to be true to the pro mise he made the day before, and setting forth the grounds they had for making the demand of him.. Ile was all the time on board a vessel in the Bay, and at eight in the evening two Con sist:; waited on him to convey his ultimatum to the Consuls then sitting at the Casino, and ten or twelve of the Janissaries, The latter declared that, unless the rudder of the Russian yes rel was given up, and a strict search made by two Consuls, or three or four of themselves, they could not be answerable for the consequences ; and, unless the answer were favourable, their lives would be sacrificed, also that of the Mollah's, and the town burnt to ashes. At nine in the evening the Russian Con sul declared that he yielded to force in giving up the vessel, but the T.rrks went away quite satisfied. Jtr NE 10.—This morning several Greeks were killed. Some Turks were said to have arrived from Ivalee, where the Greeks had risen on the Turks, who drove out and killed the whole population, of about 30,000 souls, and are said to have laid the town in ashes. It is also stated, that an indiscriminate slaughter has taken place at Bournabad, a short distance from hence. No French families remain on shore. done. JUNE 19.—Yesterday afternoon the Russian vessel was ex- . amined by two Consuls and four of the Janissaries. They only found two barrels of gunpowder, 'but discovered .150 persons whom they supposed to be Greeks. They assert that they are Cerigots. They have been landed this morning, at the En glish Consul's, where they have , undergone a further examina tion. If they are found to be what they declare, they will be allowed to go on board the vessel again ; but if Greeks, they will be allowed only to return.to , their own dwellings. The report of the indiscriminate assassination at Bournabad is not true. Only 30 Greeks were killed there. JUNE 21.—The affair of Ivalee appears to have been a very bloody business. You will recollect that in consequence of a disposition manifested by the Ivalees to revolt, and throw off the Turkish yoke, the Pacha, with a sliffitient force, was sent against that place, in order to ascertain whether it were'really true that the lvalees were revolting ; if he should find that this was the case, the instructions which he received from the Turk ish Government, were, that he should proceed to extremities.— No sooner had the Pacha arrived in the neighbourhood of the place, than he was met by several Chiefs, who were understood to express the sentiments of the people. Their declarations satisfied the Paella, " that the reports of their disposition to re bellion wire unfounded," the Chiefs assuring him, in the warmest manner, that their attachment to the Government was unshaken. The Pacha instantly sent ofr a messenger with in telligence to this effect. A few days afterwards, however, seve ral Greek armed vessels arrived off the town, where they landed a force not exceeding 200 men, who seemed to have corrupted the people of Ivalee ; and they, very soon forgot the pledge they had so recently given the Pacha, for they attacked the Turks._ A bloody engahement ensued, and the result was, that the Turks having set fire to the town, containing a population of from 20,000 to 30,000 persons, the havoc became general, either by the flame or did sword.. The Turks gave out that 700 MusselmenVere killed ; and 3000 Greeks are mentioned also as having fallen a sacrifice. Some persons escaped on board vetsels, THE KING. PORTSMOUTIL-Tuesday Evening, Seven Ii is?M AJESTY arrived here this evening at half past five o'clock, and got on board his yacht at a quarter before six. Every thing happened precisely as I stated in my letter of yesterday. I believe he remains in the harbour to-night, and if he go to Cowes to-morrow I shall follow him, and stay there until he sails for I reland. Wednesday, August 1, Eight o'Clock, A. M. Early yesterday morning signals were made to the Royal squadron at Spithead, communicating the grateful intelligence that his MAJESTY might be expected in the course of the day, and desir ing them to unmoor the vessels. The order was quickly complied with, and in a few minutes the whole convoy were at single anchor, in line, according to seniority, prepared to receive his MAJESTY. About eleven o'clock Admiral Sir J. H. Whitshed, Com modore Sir C. Paget, Lieutenant-Governor Sir G. Cooke, and several Naval Officers, went down to the large platform, which is close by the Sallyport, and remained there for some time, ob serving the state of the water. It was theri blowing fresh from the West, and as this produced a strong surf, it was appre hended that his Majesty might suffer inconvenience if he were rowed in his barge to the Royal George yacht, which lay moor ed a considerable distance, at Spithead.. The Admiral, there fore, on consulting the other Office.rs who were present, resolved to have the Royal George brought into harbour, and accord ingly signals were made to her for that purpose. She was im mediately slipped from her moorings,' was under weigh about 20 minutes before 12, and in 8 minutes after she was in the har bour. She stood proudly under her canvass while she moved along; and though the breeze was fresh, she did not yield to it in the least, but cut her way firmly through the waters with all the steadiness and majesty of a man of war. Having passed into the harbour, she stood out and in again, for the gratifica tion of the numerous spectators - who crowded the platform battery and the beach, and was then moored at the lower buoy, near the mouth of the harbour. The morning had been lower ing, but at noon the sun shone upon the scene in all his bright- ness. During the early part of the day, the neighbourhood of the Sallyport presented a busy scene. Set vents, and seamen, and porters were seen hastening down to the boats with military hat-boxes and trunks of every shape and size. When it was known generally through the town that his Majesty was to be here in the course of the afternoon, every face began to brighten up with expectation ; the inhabitants ceased to work, and losed their shops as on Sundays, and all arrayed themselves in their holiday attire. Families from twenty, and others from thirty, and even forty miles around Portsmouth, poured into the town; and being for the most part females, when added to, and inter mingled with, the gay popplation of this place, they served very much to heighten and improve the scene.. There was a hearty expression of health and cheerfulness displayed in the counte nancesbf, the various groups that filled the streets or decorated the windows, which made one feel that he was not amidst a crowd of London spectators: The road from the Landport, or harrier-gate, was newly sanded for a considerable way . outward, and wherever a eonve ' nient standing-place offered .itself, it was lined with people. The road over Portsdown-hill, distant hence about five miles, is easily seen from the ramparts, and objects moving on it may be minutely distinguished with a glass. That side of the rain parte-whence the best view of the hill can be obtained, was ac cordingly eagerly occupied by the spectators; gazing intensely upon the point where his Majesty's baremehe and escort was first to become visible. An artilleryman was stationed here with a telescope, and almost every •elderlyelooking man had a telescope of his own. Some of these glasses seemed to be old and valued companions, and only used upon State occasions. It was market-day in the town ' • but the business of the hour was either anticipated, or deferred, in expectation of the arrival of his Majesty. At two o'clock the R. 31. Artillery marched in from Gosport, commanded by Sir R. Williams. The beat of the drum, and the music of their fine band, as they moved up high-street, drew crowds of hurrying spectators to the stre e t and ramparts. The uniform of this body is not of a striking description, yet the men presented a very martial ap pearance. The 15th and 10th Regiments then proceeded from their barracks, as also did the . Royal Marines to their several stations. This took up some time, and at length, about four o'clock, the different troops were formed in the ibllOwing or der :—At the New Sallyport a Guard of honour from the 10th Regiment, consisting of a Captain, two subalterns, four ser jeants, and nearly two hundred privates were stationed. They 'had with them the King's colours. The remainder of the 10th Regiment, commanded by Colonel Stewart, formed in files on their left along High-street, the rear rank on the edge of the footway, and the front rank about eight paces from them in the road. The tiles were phiced at such distances as enabled the regiment to occupy the street nearly to the Old Court-house, which takes up so much space, and 'deforms a street that other wise would present a fine open vista. The. Royal Marine Ar tillery formed with their right adjoining the left of the 10th, and after these the Royal Marines and five companies of the 15th Regiment, commanded by Colonel Davison, formed in the same manner along the whole length of High-street to the barrier gate. Four Artillerymen were stationed on the ramparts, one at the Prince of %% ales's Bastion, one at the Queen's Bastion, one at the King's Bastion', and one at the corner of the Platform Battery, with each a white signal flag on a staff, which they were commanded to wave one to the other, as soon as his Ma , jests entered the Landport-gate. The first-mentioned bastion is over the Landport-gate, and the two others are at the angles of the two principal sides of the rampart. The Platform Battery is on the left of the Sallyport, and thus the waving of the signal flags communicated the entry of his Majesty round the battery in an instant. • An Artilleryman was stationed at the flag-staff in the Land port curtain, opposite the Lieut.-Governor's house, with the Royal Standard furled up, prepared to hoist it on hie Majesty's entrance, and another Artilleryman with a similar standard, furled up, was stationed at the flag-staff on the King's Bastion, which is seen diagonally from the Sallyport. The Royal Sap pers and Miners were also in attendance. The South-East Hants Yeomanry Cavalry, consisting of the principal tradesmen of the town, and commanded by Colonel Lindegren, were stationed on the Parade. They did not, of course, present a very martial aspect, but they exhibited what was much preferable to a patriot's eye—an honest English appearance, impressing one with the idea, that inexperienced as they were in the science of war, they still knew how to appreciate, and were resolved, with their lives to defend, if necessary, the sacred inheritance of their liberties. The breeze having considerably abated, the temporary stage was laid down from the stairs of the Sallyport, and declined, by an easy descent towards the water, until it was on a level with the edge of the Royal barge. The side rails of the stairs were covered on each side with rich crimson cloth, and on the p ' platform, immediately near the door, the Admiral of the sta tion Sir .1. 11. Whitshed, the Commissioner of the Dock-y a rd, Sir J. Grey, and several Marine Officers, in full uniform, waited to receive his Majesty. The Royal barge was in prepa ration at the left side of the extremity of the temporary stage.— On the right, the boats from the different vessels of the squadron were stationed according to seniority, the Captains in them, the oars raised, and the pendants streaming over their stems. In the front, at sonic little distance on the water, were several private yachts, filled with the families of the pro ' prietors, and the space all around was occupied by innume rable small boats full of Ladies and Gentlemen. On the left of' the Sallyport there is a large platform, which is used in time of war for the easy embarkation of victualling stores.— . This platform was occupied by the Royal Marine band, and by the Ladies and Gentlemen of the principal families of the neighbourhood. Among them we noticed the famie lies of the Admiral, of the Commissioners, of Colonel Henry Garrat, Lady Brice and family, Sir Lucius and Lady Cur . tis and family, Sir James Gordon's family, and Lady Bennet and family, f'zoni Fareharn. The accommodation of these, and a crowd of other distinguished visitors, depended on W. . Reekes, Esq., the Agent Victualler ; and it is due to him to say, that he provided for their convenience with the utmost politeness end attention. The Storehouse itself, which is immediately, behind, and, from its high leaden roof, cord: mantis a most excellent prospect of the street, the harbours, and squadrons at Spithead, the ramparts, and the batteries, was liberally opened for the accommodation of the spectators. The reef was speedily filled, almost entirely with Ladies, and from a distance- they presented a peculiarly gay appearance. —The saluting battery on the left was of comae clear of spectators, but beyond this the ramparts were lined as far as they commanded a view of the sea on one side, or of the Barrier Gate on the other, The rear ranks .of the troops in High-street had their files so open that two or three of the people had room to stand between them, and no objection being offered to their doing so, the rear rank being thus intermingled with persons in coloured clothes, had an appearance of a cu rious description. Indeed it was particularly pleasant to ob serve the cordial understanding that every where subsisted be tween the soldiers and the people, the former seeming scarcely to have one feeling different from the latter. In this instance, at least, the military appeared to realize the ideas of Black stone, when he observed, that a British soldier, though dressed in a red coat, does not forget that he is still a citizen. As the day advanced expectation became more and more intense.— At length, at twenty-seven minutes past five, two of the Yeomanry, who had gone out, returned in a gallop down the streets to the parade. The troops. immediately carried arnis, and the Artillerymen were in attendance at their guns on the Platform Battery. At half-past five precisely the Royal standards were hoisted, the signal flags were waved, the first of the twenty-one guns was discharged, and his Majesty appear, ed at the Barrier Gate. The guns were then discharged one - after the other. The keys of the Garrison were delivered to his Majesty by the Lieutenant-Governor, and returned in a Moment, and the next minute the , Royal barouche was seen whiiled along the line of troops in High-street. It was escorted by a body of Dragoons. The footmen and coachman were in their undress livery, and the expedition with which his Majesty was driven along—and indeed every circumstance attending his en trance, showed that he was more than usually anxious to avoid all appearance of state. When the barouche. arrived at the Sallyport, his Majesty descended, accompanied by Lord Graves, one of the Grooms of the Chamber, and Mr. Watson, his Ma jesty's Private Secretary. Upon descending, be was immediately surrounded by Sir William Keppel, Sir Ililgrove Turner, and Sir Edmund Nagle, who had arrived the evening before. His Majesty was met at the Sallyport by the Admiral, and upon his appearance on the platform a loud and most enthusi astic huzza burst from the spectators, who crowded the beach . on the right, the boats and yachts in front and around, the large platform and the roof of the Storehouse on the left. The King was uncovered, and when the magnificent, animated, and diversified prospect before him struck upon his eye, lie stood unconsciously, filled with admiration of the scene, and scarcely kaowingnn which side to turn him. He was dressed in a plain n tvid uniform, and looked exceedingly .well ; indeed, a totally different man, in point of health, from what he was at his Coronation. The Admiral offered his arm, but the King held the hand-rail of the stairs, and thus descended the first flight. 'When he got to. tile second flight he took the Admiral's right arm, and walked steadily down to the water's edge. Here he was received by Commodore Paget. His Majesty, on step ping into the barge, shook the Commodore cordially by the hand. The battery then fired a second salute, which was an swered by Fort Monckton, a battery far on the right near Spit head ; and this fort was answered by the Royal squadron at Spithead. The men of war and ships in the harbour next took up the salute, and both the harbour and Spithead were buried beneath a volume of smoke, through which the flash of the ig nited powder penetrated with all the grandeur of lightning, while the roll of the artillery resembled distant intermittent thunder. Ilia Majesty, upon taking{, his seat, expressed his happiness on returning to the care of his friend Sir C. Paget once more, and said, with a lively emotion of pleasure, that he had come from town in six hours, less by ten minutes. Sir Charles ex plained to him the cause of the change that had taken place in the station of the Royal yacht, and the barge was rowed along by the Royal bargemen in their full and very handsome blue uniform. Precisely at a quarter before six his Majesty was on board his yacht. The Royal flag was instantly hoisted, and the Cap tains repaired on board to pay their respects to his Majesty. His Majesty instantly ordered some soup and cold meat for dinner. After dinner the awnings were put over the deck, and the deck turned into a drawing-room, where his Majesty took coffee, sur rounded by his Officers, the Commodore, and several Captains of the squadron. The Royal Marine band were on board, and played, during the evening, many fine pieces of Italian and martial music. At this hour (eight o'clock) his Majesty's yacht still remains in the harbour; but it is expected that his 31ajesty will sail for Cowes almost immediately. The wind is still unfavourable for his sailing for Ireland. The Camel store-ship, with Bertrand, Montholon, &c. from St. Helena, arrived at Spithead this morning. At six o'clock. the ship fired a salute of 21 guns,_ honour of the ,Royal flag flying in the Royal yacht in the harboUr. It is a remarkable circumstance that this vessel should arrive just in time to salute his Majesty. Wednesday,, Nine o'Clock. The Royal yacht left the harbour for•COwes at half past' eight o'clock, amid a Royal salute from the Platform Battery and Fort llonckton. The squadron are now tiring, .as his !a jesty is just passing through them. The gay bells of the town are ringing, and the beach is crowded with spectators. TIIE CORONATION. PROVINCIAL CELEBRATIONS. His MAJESTY'S Coronation was celebrated on Thurs day, the 2tith ofJuly, on the PERTH ESTATES, includ ing the' Towns of Crieff, Cullendar,' ButreHtown, Ninthill, St. Ilans, and At one o'clock the flag was hoisted at Drummond Castle, upon . which a feu de joie was fired.— This was the signal for the Towns and Villages on the Estate to commence their festivities, who were all collected, to the num- . her of some thousands, with pipers, music, bells ringing, &c. &c. At the Castle a dinner was given to the principal inhabi tants of the neighbourhood, and the whole of the respectable te nantry, and about 200 persons sat down to a splendid and sub stantial dinner. The room was decorated with festoons of oak leaves, and mottos and appropriate devices. " Long live the King," in large characters, formed with roses, and G. IV. R. in the true laurus not,ilis , surmounted with a Crown of Roses, the whole embosomed inOak and Laurel. The opposite end was the family motto—" Gang warily," with Abe, Thistle, Rose, and Shamrock.—On the cloth being removed his Ma jesty's health was drank with four times foiir, and cheered by the young villdgers, who had assembled in great num bers without, the music playing " God save the King."— This was accompanied by a feu-de-joie from the castle, which was repeated four times. Precisely at this time, it was ar ranged that all his Majesty's Subjects, who had met.to celebrate his _Majesty's Glorious Coronation, should at one time pay their respectful homage to their Sovereign. Upon this signal the towns and tillages before-mentioned poured forth their hearty cheers and drank, Long live King George the Fourth, in unison with our friends assembled at Drummond Castle, making alto gether at least 4000 persons. , The munificent Proprietors had spared no expence to render the fete worthy of the occasion, and to make every one happy ; the cellars of the Castle were thrown open, and roast beef, venison, plumb-pudding, whiskey, &c., were supplied in abundance, accompanied with loyal and appropriate toasts—the Royal Family, the Duke of York and Army, anti Duke of Clarence and Navy, &c. &c. The Ladies, with the wives and daughters of the tenantry, assembled for the Ball, which continued till four o'clock in the morning. At ten o'clock, the bonfires anti illuminations began to blaze at Drum mond Castle, and all the towns and villagers, amid the cheers of all assembled, renewed with a hearty glass to the King that his reign might be as prosperous as his Regency was glorious. The music and pipers were now all in action in . every town and village, and happiness gladdened every heart on the joyous oc casion. The noble Proprietors were not foretten, and their health and happiness was most gratefully wished by all pre sent, for their truly urbanic and benevolent spirit. WELLINGIIOIIOUGn.—The Coronation of his Majesty was celebrated at Wellingborough, on Thursday, the 19th ultimo, in a most loyal and spirited manner.• The morning was ushered in by the ringing of bells, which continued at intervals through out the day. At 10 o'clock in the morning the inhabitants of the town assembled at the Hind Inn, when a procession was formed, and went through the principal streets; preceded by a band of music, and several flags made for the occasion, upon one of which was " King George the and long may he reign ;" and upon another, " Loyalty and Allegiance," sur mounted by G. IV. Rex, and a Crown. They halted at four diffe rent places, and sung in full chorus the national anthem "Gop save the King." All the Gentlemen carried • white wands, which had a most pleasing effect. They then proceeded to Broad Green, where an ox and several sheep were roasted, which, at 12 o'clock, were cut up and distributed among the poor, toge ther with a suitable 9uantity of bread and - beer, according to the numbers of the families. About 2700 persons partook of this bounty ; the expellee of which was defrayed'out of subscriptions contributed by the inhabitants, amounting to near 1:200, and, it is gratifying to say, that they seemed perfectly satisfied and thankful. In the afternoon, the children belonging to the Paro. chial Sunday . School and the other schools in the town assem bled to the amount of 700 and upwards, attended by their teachers, and several Ladies, who formed a procession, and went down the principal street, the band during the whole time playing the 104th Psalm. It is impossible to describe the feel ings of the spectators at this interesting scene. Every heart seemed touched with the solemnity of it. The children were then conducted to the square, in which was placed a Coronation Poll, with a Crown at 'the top, and partook of tea and cake, before and after which hymns provided for the occasion were sung, and at the finish, " Gol save the King." At the same time the women had tea and cake in the street adjoining the square. At six o'clock the Gentlemen of the town and neigh- • bourhood sat down to a most excellent dinner at the Hind Inn, M. E. Jones, Esq. in the Chair. After which, the health of the King, and several loyal and .patiotic toasts wete•given, and the day passed over with the greatest harmony. During the day, as also on Friday and Saturday, there were several amuse ments in tlltnrent parts of the town ; and on the two latter days various tea parties in the public streets.

" National frigate Heroine; at Port Soledad. " Stu--I have the honour to inform you of my arrival at this port to take possession of these Islands in-the name of the Supreme Government of the United Provinces of South America. The ceremony was publicly performed on the 6th day of November, and the national standard hoisted at the fort, under a salute from this frigate, in the presence of several citizens of the United States and Great Britain. It is my desire to act towards all friendly flags Kith the most distin guished justice and hospitality, and it will give me pleasure to aid and assist such as may require them to obtain refreshments with as little trouble and expence as possible. I have to beg of you to communicate this intelligence to any other ves sel of your nation whom It may concern, 4 6 I am, Sir, " D. JEWETT, " Colonel of the Marine of the United Provinces of Sow] Aillerica, Commander of the frigate Heroine." The Paris Journals of Monday arrived this morning, and contain several important articles of intelligence.—Private advices from Vienna, of the lOth of last month, mention, that an Express had arrived from Petersburg with intelligence that the Emperor ALEXANDER had sent a cate gorical answer to the complaints of the Ottoman Porte against Baron de STROGONOFF, and had demanded full satisfaction within eight days for the insults offered to his Ambassador, to whom orders were transmitted, desiring him to quit Constantinople if this demand was not complied with, and to state, at the same time, that the Russian troops assembled on the Ruth would in that ca'se immediately enter Moldavia. It is doubtful whether the Grand Seignior possesses sufficient influence over the fanatic people and Jauissaries to be enabled to give this satisfac tion, and war therefore seems inevitable. From Moldavia we learn that the Chief of the Insurgents, FORDA EJ, has collected together about 5900 of the dispersed G reeks, and surprised a party of Turks, many of whom were killed. A detailed account is give►. of the defeat and death of the Sacred Legion, which deserves a place in the annals of History. When the Turks ad van►ced in groat force against this Legion, a ne phew of the Patriarch ORLGO3Y st e pped for ward out of the ranks, and exhorted his compa nions to prove that they were not Neapo- litans, that they fought in a holy cause, and that they would maintain the honour of Greece, and the glory of their ancestors. His comrades replied with shouts of enthussm,, rushed - upon the enemy, and, with very' few ex ceptions, perished nobly, in the glorious cause of Grecian independence. It is stated in a German Journal that Prince YPSILANTI is a prisoner in the Austrian fortress of Carlsburg. Hence the cause of the long silence respecting this Insurgent Chieftain. A private letter from Tunis, of the 24th of June, says, that the Dey is fltting, out, with great dispatch, several ships of war,. ha order to co-operate with the Turks against the Greeks in the Archipelago. The number of Greeks at Tunis does not exceed four hundred,, and it was hoped the sanguinary cruelties prac tised in Turkey would not extend to this town; but, in consequence of the late events in the Archiplago, the. local Government has shown a hostile disposition towards the unfortunate Greeks, and the populace of this country, al ways inclined to commit the greatest excesses for the sake of booty, give us reason to appre" bend a repetition of the dreadful scenes at Con stantinople and other Turkish towns. S e veral Creeks have already been ill-treated and im prisoned by order of the Deg ; some of - whom being under the protection of the English and French Consuls, have been demanded by them. These agents have also interceded in behalf of other victims ; but hitherto their efforts have not been attended with much success, Their conduct on this ec' casion is dictated not only by humanity but likewise by the hope of preventing a catastroph e which would be equally fatal, among these lia" barians, to all descriptions of Christians; O a we expect much from their- prudent and fir al conduct. An article from Hamburg!' states that the British Ambassador at Constantinople has o r 4 dered all the British Consuls in the Levant 1 0 to permit any Turkish subject to embark ° l3 board an English ship without a regular passPer te It gives us concern to relate that the Gre ek refugees at Odessa have been guilty of the s° l9e cruelties towards the Jews, in that town, ° s were practised by the Turks against their own countrymen at Constantinople. Though the Jews in the Turkish capital are reported, with too much truth we apprehend, to have acted the' parts of spies and informers to the Ottoman G° 4 vernment against the unfortunate Greeks, yet it by no means justifies the Greek refugees id wreaking their vengeance upon the Jews a t : Odessa, who could not have influenced, o r ought not to have suffer e d for, th e base conduct o f individuals belonging- to their nation at C tin4 stantinople. Four of the Israelites at Odessa have died from the effects of their cruel tre'LL meat, and several others are grievously woun ded The police succeeded with difficulty in rest°' ° l order, and several Greeks have been arrested asst imprisoned, and we trust will meet their Just punishment. The demagogues of the Club held at the f°7l- " land d'Oro, in Madrid, have carried their dec- trines to such an extreme, that the P° lltic al Chief of that capital has issued a no tice threat en ' tug them with the sever e st punishntent of the law ; and in order to curb their licentiousness, and enforce his thr . eats, he has ordered ajnea lber of the 'Municipality to be present at all their d , ; bates. _MEatNo is now said not to have quit ter Spain, but to be at the head of a fresh coil' s °r Guerillas, A. plot for recruiting leis f o rces " g been discovered at Cordova. of The persons who accompanied the co re PORTUGAL from Rio de Janeiro, and who t heir not allowed to land at Lisbon 9 9 ,;00 arrival, have since received this per° ° tbe it from the Cortes upon condition of ot ° not residing within twenty leagues r i bis the capital, and ten from the sea-coast , decision of the Cortes has produced ti 5 tro is sensation at Lisbon, because the p e rsona , 06 question still possess great influence ov er I( public opinion, as well on account of their , as their fortune, It is added that the 'iv' -e. oa t self Is not at all pleased at this rigorous roe" of The following are the chief contents 0 ' Papers received this morning : flO cc V I TIQRI A, July 14,—Last Mpna a f ai Priest Salazar was conveyed from Borgo s 4 00 '4 d he had been brought from Baulena With 5. ; 4 escort of cavalry and infantry.
