TILE LONDON JCURN.-'ILS. DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS, December 27. [MORNING POST.] Au Evening Paper of yesterday states that the town of Navarin had been "ceded to the Greeks by a regular capitulation which was instantly - violated, and that three thousand inhabitants, Alen, women, and children, were put to death." It hopes, at the same time, " that the barbari ties which are said to have been committed on that occasion have been exaggerated," but imme diately after blazons forth with a tone so much like triumph those which it represents, on some unnamed authority, as having attended the cap ttire of Tripolizza, that the sincerity of the hope expressed becomes almost questionable. It then exultingly " defies the partisans of the Greeks to produce an authentic parallel" to those atrocities. To this challenge we have only to answer, that exaggerated as those atrocities evi dently are, they are only copies of those com mitted by the Turks, at the origin of the Gre cian contest, on the fathers, wives, daughters, 'and• children of the Greeks, in the Peloponnesus, in Greece Proper, in Wallachia, in Moldavia, nay in Constantinople itself, in a word, where ever by force or fraud the Mussulmen could safely iudulge their appetite for blood and tor ture. That Christian warriors should in one single instance disgrace their holy faith by reta liation on their enemies is what we should deeply lament, though considering the weakness of hu man nature and the strength of human passions, it is also what we fear cannot be entirely re pressed,. [BRITISH PRESS.] An account, purporting to be derived from " an authentic source," was published in a Trea sury Paper of yesterday evening, detailing some dreadful atrocities which were said to have been perpetrated by the Greeks at the capture of the town of Tripolizza. We are told that the town of Tripolizza being pressed by the Grecian forces, was surrendered by the Turkish garrison upon certain conditions, and that the capitulation was actually concluded between the Bey of Maina and Colocotoni, on the part of the besieging army, and by the Turkish Authorities on the part of the garrison and the Turkish inhabitants. In -pursuance of the terms of this agreement, a con siderable number of the Turks came out of the city and were amicably received by the Greeks, but on a sudden a 44 part of the besieging army took possession of one of the gates, and also of the tower, which was accomplished without diffi culty or attempt at resistance." The account then proceeds in these terms : " The Christian flag was then hoisted on the tower, which became the signal of a general assault by the whole army. The whole night was passed in plunder and in murder, without dis crimination of sex or age. "On the next day nearly three thousand souls, the majority consisting of women and children, were marched from the Creek camps, where they had been staying two days, to a sort of gorge at one side of the town, where they were all stripped naked, and most horribly butchered. The pregnant women had their bellies ripped open. Many of them had their heads struck off; and the heads of some dogs having been also struck off, they [The circumstances omitted are too atrocious for publication.] " For three following days the carnage continued, and this unrelenting spirit was not directed solely against the Turks. All the Jews who were -in the town were seized—the men were put to the torture, and the women and children, as well as the men, were all, without exception, put to death. " The whole number of persons who perished at ,Tripolizza amounted to eight thousand, of which nearly one thousand were . Jews. " As it is known that a British gentleman, Mr. Gordon, was " Chef d'Etat Major" of the besieging army, we have great pleasure in being able to state, that although Mr. Gordon was present at the siege, and contributed to its success by his exertions, as he had to the preparations for it by his liberality, he earnestly remonstrated against the treachery in contempla tion ; and finding all his representations disregarded, he quitted the camp, and has since quitted the service altogether, conceiv ing that it was neither consistent with his own honour, nor with the honour of his country, to support a cause which was earned on in violation of every principle of good faith and humanity." It is impossible to read of such atrocities with out feeling one's blood run cold with horror at the narrative ; but until we know the authority, " the authentic source," from which the intelli gence is derived, we must hesitate, even on ac count of the very barbarity of the scene, in giv ing our unqualified belief to the statement. It is somewhat remarkable, if not suspicious, that so strong a case of recrimination against the Greek§ should appear first in a London Ministerial Pa per, the more especially as we find it instantly. turned to the purposes for which it might have been prepared, of vilifying and abusing all who in this country have breathed a wish in favour of the cause of liberty in Greece. It is, however, going rather too far, to deduce from whatever atrocities or cruelties the Greeks may commit, an imputation against all . who wish success to their exertions, as if they did not lament sin cerely such atrocities, or mourn that a cause in itself so glorious as that of regenerating a whole people . should lose one spark of its native bright ness, or be.tarnished by the foul stains of cruelty or perfidy. [TH E TIMES.] From the Dutch Mail the first short paragraph we have extracted is one which denies, with some apparent earnestness, rumour said to have got abroad, that Prussia was to assist the Russians with an army in case of their making war upon the Turks. It was very preposterous to imagine that Russia would, in such a case, have stood in need of any such assistance. The news from or respecting Greece increases in a painful kind of interest : it must still, how ever, be understood ..to be little better than rnmour. The most horrible atrocities are said to have been committed by the victorious party at Navarino, and Tripolizza, upon the persons of their conquered adversaries. We do not say that we would rather the places had never fallen than that the capture of them should have been sallied by cruelties, because it is more than probable that the defeat of the Greeks would have been attended with equal suffering on their part, and that humanity would have been equally violated either way; but similarity of conduct in the two parties has a great tendency to equalize the justice of the two causes. A:gallant coun tryman of ours, who had mainly assisted in the fall of Tripolizza, separated himself in disgust from the conquerors, when be discovered that they meant to stain their victory with treachery and massacre. Hom , ever,thus much we may be permitted to say, not"in palliation, but simply in explication, of the conduct of the Greeks,—sup posing all that is imputed to them to he true, they are such as their masters have made them —they act like men degraded and brutalized by a long tyranny : so that their oppressors may be said to reap the fruits which they themselves have sown in the hearts of their slaves.—(lbid.) [NEW TIMES.] Although yesterday was a holiday on the Stock Exchange, yet a considerable impression was produced, and the out-door bargains were much affected, by a rumour that war between Russia and Turkey had been formally declared. Another report was, that new tutnults had bro ken out at Constantinople, on the news of the massacre perpetrated by the Greeks at Tri polizza. Which of these rumours had the greater influence in lowering the stocks we know not, but certain it is, that the prices were considerably depressed, perhaps the more so in consequence of its being holiday time, and of course few great speculations stirring. We no ticed, a few days ago, the atrocities of the Greeks, at the capture of Tripolizza. he de tails had not then reached us; but enough ap peared to shew that the Greeks were by no means behind hand with the Turks in brutal and cowardly ferocity. The account will be perused with unmitigated horror ; and we regret to say, that similar scenes appear to have been transact ed at the capture of Navarin, eight thousand per sons having been butchered at one place, and three thousand at the other. After Tripolizza had undergone a siege of many weeks, a capi tulation was concluded between the Bey of Maina and Colocotoni, on the part of the be sieging army, and by the Turkish Authorities on the part of the besieged. The next day many of the Turks, accompanied by their women and children, came out of the town, and were placed near the camp of the besieging army, by whom they were received in an amicable manner. Another body came out of the town the following day, and were permitted to do so without moles tation ; but on a sudden, part of the army took possession of one of the gates, and also of the tower, which was accomplished without difficulty, or,attempt at resistance. [ - MORNING CHRONICLE.] Lord Wellesley has, we understand, under taken the Government of Ireland upon the ex press condition that he shall, as to his official conduct, communicate directly with the King, without reference to the Secretary of State for the Home Department, or without the intervention of any other Minister. We do not immediately re collect any precedent for such an arrangement, but it appears quite natural that the Noble Aord should provide against being in any degree controlled by the young, and certainly not very modest States man, who is announced as the successor of Lord idmouth, especially as that successor is known, upon the great question that immediately concerns Ireland, to entertain sentiments diametrically opposite to those of Lord Wellesley, as well as to those of, we may say, every enlightened libe ral man in the empire. Mr. Goulburn, the new Secretary, entertains, it may be said, the same sentiments as Mr. Peel upon the Catholic ques tion, and the Orange Associations. But it cannot be supposed that this puny-minded personage will ever have much influence on the judgment of Lord Wellesley ;. and then, as to the Ministers, it is by no means surprising that the Noble Lord should take measures to guard himself against a set of gentlemen, all of whom, excepting the Duke of Wellington and Lord Londonderry, signed a de claration some years ago, expressive of their resolve never to sit in Cabinet with, his Lordship. This declaration, it will be remembered, was avow edly occasioned by some animadversions which Lord Wellesley thought proper to make in the House of Lords upon the incapacity of Mr. Per ceval to discharge the duties of the high station assigned to him. From the spirit and letter of that declaration Lord Wellesley must be natu rally anxious for such an arrangement, on his new appointment,' as that which we understand has been concluded. [MORNING HERALD.] Letters were yesterday received from St. Pe tersburgh, dated the Ist instant ; but we have not heard that they brought any news of parti cular importance. The exchange had rather im proved ; it had advanced from 90. the rouble to 94d. Exchanges, in general, are a good guide in political affairs. From the unexpected sales, however, yesterday at the Stock Exchang e, by what is called the " Bull party," we s hould apprehend that there is more in the Peters burgh letters than meets the public eye ; for the party we have alluded to, have, in general, the best intelligence from that quarter. And from the accounts we have lately seen in the foreign mails with regard to the position of the armies of Russia, u e cannot believe that she will adopt that pacific system of policy towards Turkey, which some of our ministerial cotempo raries would lead the English people to suppose. At the same time, the Russian finances are in so awkward a predicament, that it is more than probable the " Magnanimous Alexander" will remain quiet fOr want of the means to put his hordes in motion. The rouble, which, at the par price, ought to be 2s. 6d. is only 94d. about twenty-five years ; since it was worth 2s. 10d.— That Russia wishes to get possession of Turkey there can be no doubt, and that eventually she will seize upon that country no one will deny; but there are at present very serious ob stacles in her way. France says, " We will not suffer it." England, more interested still than France, says likewise, " We will not suffer it ;" but, unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, for England, she cannot go to war; her debts prevent her : and this is known to Russia, and to all Europe, as well as it is known to the people of England. Austria very cun ningly keeps in the back ground ; all she does, is to send Prince Metternich, that Prince of sophistry, to meet Lord Londonderry - at HanMrer,—They gossip over the NlewS of gussia,' and chat does it end in ?—Nothing, for aught that we know of the matter. But can Austria interfere ?—No ; she cannot. Has she not seized on Italy ? And will not Russia say to her, If I suffer you quietly to. retain Italy, you must. allow me to get hold of :Turkey—or, at least, Moldavia and Wallachia. Every thing may be reduced to this simplicity of reasoning, namely—self, which predominates in States as well as in individuals. SIR CHARLES MORGAN'S MEETING AT TftEDEGA R.

N DIA. The following statement reflects muci honour on those heroes who fell, and on those who have survived, the brilliant achievement at Kory- gaurn BOMBAY, APRIL 7.—The foundation stone of the Monu ment destined to perpetuate the defence of Korygaum, was laid by Colonel Huskisson, on behalf of Major-General Sini:h, on "Slonday, the 26th ult. This interesting ceremony took place at half-past five o'clock in the evening, m presence of the chief civil and military authorities in the Deccan. The party assem bled in an adjo►ning suite of tents. and marched in procession to the spot, where they were received under a general salute by a detachment of artillery, two companies of grenadiers from the Ist or Korygaum regiment, and the band of his Majesty's 47th regiment. . . . . A brass plate with the following inscription, This Foundation Stone was laid Anno Domini 1821, The Most Noble the Marquis of Hastings, Governor-General of India And the Honourable Mountstuart Efphinstone, Governor of Bombay, was then deposited in the foundation stone, with a few British coins, a scroll of parchment,, containin the names of the per sons present at the ceremony. The t olonel then ascertained, with true masonic precision, the correctness of the level, when three vollies of musketry, and a royal salute from the Artillery, announced the termination of the proceeding. The party sub sequently retired to an entertainment provided by Captain Nutt of the Engineers (the officer under whose superintendence the monument is erecting), where mirth and conviviality detained them till a late hour. There were many excellent songs sung, and the band of his Majesty's 47th Regiment was obligingly spared for the occasion. After the " King" had been drank, Capt. Nutt rose, and addressed the company as follows : " Gentlemen—We are this day assembled together to com memorate an event, which will' no doubt be classed by future historians as one of the most brilliant military achievements re corded in the annals of this or any other country. The estima tion in which the glorious defence of the village of Korygaum, on the Ist January, 1818, was held by the present enlightened Governor of Bombay ; and how fully his sentiments were par ticipated in by the illustrious Nobleman who now presides over our Councils in the east, cannot be better exemplified than in the recommendation and sanction by those high Authorities re spectively of that Monument, the foundation stone of which has this day been laid by the gallant Colonel on my left—(Col. lluskisson). ‘" It must ever, I presume, Gentlemen, be a proud reflection to the brave men who shared in the glories of the day we are now speaking of, to know that their services on that trying oc casion have not been only eulogised in public print, but that they are now about to receive the most lasting and distinguish ed reward a Government has it in its power to bestow. It rini,t ever, I say, Gentlemen, be a source of honest pride to every individual engaged in that arduous conflict, to know that he has not merely established for himself alone a just right to a niche in the Temple of Fame, but that he has at the same time largely contributed to the glory and stability of the Go vernment he served, as well as to the honour and reputation of that army to which he belonged. " Familiar as must be the interesting events of the period'we are how celebrating to all whom I have the pleasure to ad dress, and deservedly as those events have called forth the applause and admiration of the public at large, 1 forbear expa tiating upon them, though I cannot dismiss the subject altogether, Without briefly remarking, that we have each of us had full op portunity for inspecting every part of the village, as well as of contemplating the fatigues and privations to which the British detachment was exposed ; and the more one reflects on all the circumstances of the case, the more, 1 apprehend, must our ad miration be excited at the firmness, courage, and devotion of that gallant band, which, during a space of 36 hours, and labour ing under the severest pressure of hunger and thirst, could not only resist, but finally defeat, the repeated and desperate attacks of so numerous a foe. Such conduct, indeed, is above all . praise; and I think I may thence be allowed to infer, that wnen the present and succeeding generations shall have passed away, the 'defence of Korygaum will constitute a theme of triumph and exultation amongst the sons of Britain, and be held up in her national schools and institutions as equally worthy.nf-.emula-. tion and example with the most valorous deeds recorded in the histories of either Greece or Rome." Captain Nutt then gave, " To the memory of the hmve men who fell in the memorable defence of Korygaum." .This toast was drank standing, in silence ; after which the band.riblyed the Dead March in Saul. Capt. Nutt again rose, and addressed the. company. , 4 " Gentleman—Having endeavoured to do honour to the memory of those heroes who fell in defence of the,.village of Korygaum, on the Ist of 4tti.,..ay, 1818, I now propose ,the health of Major Staunton, who commanded, together with that of his gallant associates in arms, and wha, on the memor able occasion alluded to, so nobly upheld the character and ho nour of the British Army at large, and of the Bombay Army in particular.' " The toast was drank with three times' three.—Tuneo' Bri tons- strike home." The next toast was " The Most Noble the Ilarquis Hastings, and may the illustrious Nobleman long continue at .the hz-ad of our Government in India," three times three-Tune, " Zarl Moira's - Welcome." Captain Nutt prefaced the next toast with the following re. marks :—. " Gentlemen—ln the toast I am now about to propose, I feel persuaded all present will join me, with cordial approbation. In whatever indeed has relation to the late military events in the Deccan, the name of Mr. Elphinstonc is intimately associated. It would ill become me, however, to stand forth as panegyrist of so distinguished a personage; his merits and his services are alike known in the western as in the eastern hemisphere, and could receive no additional lustre from any encomiums of mine." sth Toast—" The Hon. Mr. Elphinstonc, and success to his government," three time three—Tune, " Scots, Wha," &c. After this toast had been drank with the enthusiasm it must ever excite, Capt. Nutt rose and said:— " Gentleman—From one scene of gallantry to another, the transition I think may be considered not only easy but natural ; and it is with peculiar pleasure, therefore, I- turn front the banks of the Bheemah to the shores of Arabia. We, Gentle men, generally speaking, have felt a more than ordinary in terest in the success of the military operations in that quar ter, inasmuch as the direction of the force was confided to the Gallant General who has so long commanded this divi 'sion of the army. how well he has acquitted himself of the trust reposed in him, the recent offioi:tl dispatches abundantly proclaim, and must convince the natives of that part of the world, that though a temporary ascendancy may be gained by treachery, yet the day of retribution will speedily arrive, and that no resistance, however deSperate; can avail against the cool intrepidity of British toops, when led on by an enterprising and skilful Commander." 6th Toast—" General Smith."—Tune, 65th Quick Ste.p. 7th ditto—" The Commissioner in the Deccan."—Tune, March. Mr. Chaplin returned thanks in a neat and concise speech. Bth ditto:—" Colonel Husliisson."—Tune, Quick Step. 9th ditto—" East India Company.."— Tune, Money in both pockets. 10th ditto—" - Sir Thomas . Munro."—Tune, March, 11th ditto—" Marquess Hastings and the Bengal Army."— Tune, Prince Regent's March. 12th ditto—" Sir Thomas Riglop and the Madras Army."— Tune Quick Step. 13th ditto—" Sir C. Colville and the Bombay Army."— Tune, British Grenadiers; band marching round the table. 14th ditto—" Duke of York and the Army."—Tune,M arch. 15th ditto—" Duke of Clarence and the Navy."—Tune, Rule Britannia. 16th ditto—" Duke of Wellington and the beroes of the Peninsula and Waterloo."—Tune, Waterloo March. 17th ditto—" Colonel Elrington and the Poonah Brigade." The Colonel, in his usual strain of eloquence, returned thanks for the honour done him. Captain Lodwick then rose, and observed, " Gentlemen—There is one toast I have to off r, and which I am sure you will all be disposed to drink with applause.— Of the Officers oa the Madras Establishment, who were pre sent at the defence of Korygaurn, only two are now living— Captain Swanston and Dr. Wyllie. The former is known to most of us here, and on intimate terms of friendship with many. I therefore beg to propose the health of these Gentlemen, and out of compliment to Captain Swanston, who has recently entered into the matrimonial state, that it be drank to the tune of the Honeymoon." Major (now Lieutenant-Colonel) Hull, as Chief of the Staff, proposed " The Ladies," as a toast, which, of course, was re ceived with the loudest acclamation. Those who have the pleasure of the gallant Colonel's acquaintance, will readily be lieve that he availed himself of the opportunity then afforded of paying the fair sex that tribute of applause, which is so justly their due, and so congenial to his own feelings. " I allude, however," he added, «more particularly to those of the Deccan, and who were at the village of Kirkhee amid the din of arms and roar of cannon, during that memorable action ;" and, after complimenting them on their exemplary fortitude and resigna tion, he proceeded to descant on the heroic defence of Kory gaum ; and concluded by praising the attachment and bravery of our native army under the greatest privations. Other appropriate speeches and toasts succeeded, and the party broke up at two in the morning, highly gratified with'the entertainment. Printed.and Published, for the PROPRIETORS, at the :. , u24 OFYICE, 112, Strand, by J• B. CARSTAIRI. GIBRALTAR P,kPER3. GIBRALTAR, DEc.4.—News.was received 'ncre yesterday, of some commotions of a rebHlious' character, in Valencia. 'The civil and miliary authorities have been long in opposition to each other, and the strongest animosities have pre vailed. It now seems that an affray occurred at a public meeting at Villa Real, on the 25th No-' vember, which was attended with disastrous con sequences. Three persons were killed by the soldiery, who fired upon the populace, and ten or twelve were wounded.—What produced the disturbance is not known, but a detail of the whole business was sent by both sides to Madrid; and what seems a little inconsistent is, that the Civil Authorities, who refuse tc2 acknowledge the present Ministry, demand, nevertheless, sa tisfaction from the Government. The following is the copy of an Address to the King from the various. regiments, both me❑ and officers, in cluding the militia as well as the regulars. It was transmitted to the capital by the hands of the Military Chief. " ADDRESS TO THE KING. " We entreat your Majesty not to allow any benevolent. re ,, luctance to put the ancient and wholesome laws of the realm in force, to give the enemies of your Illajesty and Spain a pr.-_ , .,?mt for supposing either that those laws are too severe, and alteration, or that the Royal Autilority is too weak to ex:-...cat, them. " We implore your. Majesty, for the _sake of the happinusa and security of the rest of your devoted sub,j, to .7;,stroy ;it once the presumptuous hopes of a daring, and not to be satis fied, faction, which aims at the destructiln of most sacrod establishments ; and which, however w,ak ann contemptible in . its numbers, is aided by temporary circumstances, not to be con. trolled, and supported by the apparent prospect of gratifyinit the most unlimited ambition. " We well know your Majesty's clemency, and the clemency of those whom you have chosen for your savants and council lors; but permit us to observe, that in cases of open or secret treachery and defiance of the laws, your mc:c: is worse than. thrown away when it is exercised. " Your Majesty has sworn to maintain tiv laws, and we have sworn allegiance to your Majesty : enforce those laws you have sworn to maintain, and we will not be ha:l:ward to give proofs of our allegiance to the last moment of our lives. We are devoted to the service of your Majesty, and of our country : we look upon you as the Sovereign and father if the Spanish nation—as the Sovereign and father of the Spanish armies—. and we are resolved ever to preserve our filial thedience. Be assured that the display of a little timely vigour and decision, will destroy at once the hopes and energies of your enemies and ours.
