We are informed, from what we have reason to deem good authority, that Lord WALPOLE has left this country for the purpose of endeavouring to bring the Court of Vienna to a proper sense of the balance of Power in Europe,and of the conse- quences which may attend the violation of that principle, if Russia, as is believed to be her in tention, should commence, if she has not already commenced, war against the Turks. We ear nestly hope, however, that no arrangement will be adopted that by any possibility can leave the Greeks at the mercy of their ferocious and inhu- man enemies. There is reason to believe that His MAJESTY will, not be able to carry into effect his intention to visit Scotland this summer. The season will be too far advanced on his return from Ireland for him to visit either Scotland or-Hanover; and the gratification which he anticipated from both these journies must be deferred to another year. The French Papers of Wednesday, which ar r:ved this day, contain fresh accounts of the atrocious conduct of the Turks, and must increase the general feeling of detestation and horror against these barbarians. The cruelties perpe trated at Constantinople, and more especially the horrid brutalities to which a number of young females belonging to the first Greek families were subjected, have been repeated at Smyrna ar:d Sidonia. It is time that these outrages against humanity should cease, and that all Christendom should promptly interfere in the cause of suffering Greece to prevent the further shedding of the blood of our fellow Christians. The following are extracts : " ST. CLOUD, JULY 24.—After mass the Eng lish Ambassador had a private audience of the King. His Majesty, in the afternoon, took an airing in the neighbourhood. " PARIS, JULY 24.—We learn from Calais that Prince Leopold of Saxe Cobourg landed at that port on the 21st, and immediately set out for Paris. " The Duchess of Devonshire arrived yester day at Paris. " The Keeper of the Seals has set out for the Waters of Mont d' Or. By a Royai Ordi nance of the 18th of July, Count Portalis is charged, during his absence, with the porte feuille of the Minister of Justice. FRENCH FUNDS. July 24, Five per Cents. Bank Stock 1532 f. 50 C. ShItRNA, JUNE 19.—Four days ago the Consuls and European merchants, who have taken refuge on board the shipping in the road, saw their houses and offices destroyed by the Turkish population, united with the Janissaries. This undisciplined race, after having massacred the Mouselim, or the Mahometan Lieutenant-Ge neral, who opposed himself to their fury, obliged the Pacha of Gesarea to allow them to do what ever they thought proper. Thus, in a short time, the opulent Smyrna, its magazines, its riches, and its prosperity, will have disappeared. All which is Christian, whether Greek, Armenian, or Frank,is exterminated. The Catholic and Ortho dox Churches are objects of fury to a people without restraint, and excited by fanaticism. I calculate that the number of Christians, of all ages and sexes, who have fallen by the poniards of the Mahometans, amount to nearly 12,000, and they no longer hide their design of extirpat ing Christianity, and transforming their empire into another ancient Taurida, where Christians are to be admitted, as in Japan, by submitting to the most revolting humiliations. But without anticipating the future, I- leave you to judge of the enormous losses which their commerce of the Levant is suffering, and the bankruptcies which will be the inevitable consequence. . . • The town of Sidonia, which the Turks call Ivalic, which contained 30,000 Christians, has been burnt by the Turks, who have put to the sword all the inhabitants capable of bearing arms, and borne off their wives and children, as slaves, to the interior.—The Colleges, the Schools, the Churches, the Infirmary, and the Public Li brary—nothing belonging to this once flourishing town at present remains.—(Constitutionnel.) " CORFU, JUNE 20.—A part of the English fleet, in the Mediterranean, is arrived in our seas. —We are in daily expectation of Sir Graham I Moore, with the remainder of the squadron. " We learn from the coast of Africa that the Algerines and Tunisians are arming to aid the Porte against the Greeks. " VIENNA, JULY 14.—Letters from Constan tinople announce that Count de Luntzou, our Internuncio at the Porte, offered his'mediation to adjust the differences between the Russian Minis ter and the Divan, but his interposition was de clined. The same letters state that the Porte has communicated a declaration to the Ministers of some of the Foreign Powers, in which he sets out his grievances against Russia. Subsequent letters mention that the Paella of Egypt has re fused to send any assistance to the Porte, and that he is in correspondence with the Greek in surgents. [This is very probable, for it is well known that Mehemet has long wished to make himself independ en t of the 0 ttoman‘Government.] " A subscription has been opened in our town for the relief of the Greek refugees, who con tinue daily to arrive, and are treated with all the attention due to their misfortunes and necessities. The subscription already amounts to a consider- able sum. " The whole of Thessaly is in full insurrection. Masters of the principal towns, the Greeks have established in this produce a provisional Govern- Macedonia has also shaken off the Turkish yoke. ment. " The Turks devastate in the most frightful manner Moldavia and Walachia. They burn whole villages, and make slaves of such of the inhabitants as escape death. " Yesterday we received news of the death of Napoleon, by express from M. Rothschild, the banker, at Paris. This intelligence was soon known i❑ every part of the town, and produced a great sensation. It is remarked that the Court has not put on mourning. " TRIESTE, Jur.y 14.—A Greek vessel from Alexandria brings an account of the insurrection of the Drusi of Mount Lebanus against the So vereign Authority of the Porte. They are re ported to have defeated the Paella of Damascus, and to have formed the design of attacking the town of Damascus, which is almost entirely in habited by Turks who are very rich. 4 C AUGSBURG, JULY M.—Our correspondent at Vienna informs us that though the insurrec tion is nearly suppressed in Walachia and Mol davia, it has suddenly broken out in Macedonia, and that even the Bulgarians have raised the standard of revolt. We observe, however, no concert in these movements, and the chiefs of these partial insurrections are not named. " With respect to Servia, there are two parties in this province, one of which wishes to make common cause with the Greeks, while the other inclines to neutrality until war be de clared between Russia and the Porte. The lat ter party is at present the most numerous : but the cruelties committed by the Turks in the for tresses of this province have much exasperated the Servians, whose discontent spews itself on every occasion. The least spark would kindle a general flame in this country. " It is positively known that not only the siege of Joannina is raised, but all the Ottoman troops in Albania are retreating out of that country with the greatest precipitation, agreeably to orders re ceived from Constantinople, as they apprehend their retreat may be cut off, in consequence of an insurrection having broken out in the interior of T urkey. " Prince Ypsilanti is on his journey to Trieste from Hermanstadt, in Transylvania, and means to embark for the Morea. Great events are ex pected to take place in that quarter." Hamburgh and Flanders Mails arrived this morning, and the following are their contents : 44 CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 16.--At the beginning of this month the Russian Ambassador Baron Strogonoff delivered several notes to the Porte, the object of which was to induce it to adopt just. and equitable measures towards the Greeks. He required that the innocent should not be treated like the guilty, and that the latter should not be sentenced till after formal examination. As long as the Porte continued to inspire terror by the system hitherto pursued, Russia would not refuse an asylum to any fugitive Greeks. If the cruelties hitherto committed should be con tinued, he had orders to go on board a packet boat with all the persons belonging to his Lega tion. These notes were very ill received ; in particular, the Porte declared that it would not suffer any packet boat, because these, as Govern ment vessels, are exempt from being visited. Notwithstanding this, a packet from Odessa ar rived on the 2d June, and anchored at Bujukdere before the Russian Palace, near the Turkish Guard ship. As soon as this was known at Con stantinople, the Governor of the neighbour ing forts, on whom the guard ship depends, was removed from his office, and the Captain Pacha with a considerable force repaired to the spot in order to execute the orders of the Sul tan. He declared that unless the packet boat sailed in 48 hours force would be employed. On this an animated correspondence took place between Baron Strogonoff and the Porte. When the Baron found his remonstrances had no effect, her suddenly took the resolution to leave Pera with the Legation, and repaired on the .sth to Bujukdere. This decisive step excited a great sensation at Constantinople. TURKLSII FRONTIER, JULY 4.—Commercial letters from Turkey say that the Russian Am bassador is no longer at Bujukdere, where he was strictly watched by the Turks, but that he had found means to embark on board a Russian ship for Odessa. 44 MOLD VVIAN FRONTIERS, JULY 3.—Jassy has been in the hands of the Turks since the 26th ultimo, and a Government, com posed of Boyars, established : a person of the name of Siuzzobing, one of the members, has giVen rise to the erroneous report that the late Hospodar was again at the head of the Govern ment. It is said that Kallimachi, who was re moved four years ago, will again be appointed to this post. Kantecuzeno has been forced to leave his good camp, situated between the Monastery of Kosmowau and the Village of Stinga, pressed by the superiority of the Turks, and by foreign tac tics or manoeuvres, and to retire to Bessarabia.— Pendedela and some hundred Greeks have fal len. Ypsilanti is hemmed in, in the mountains of Kimpolungo near Cronstadt. lIAMDURGIi, JUDY 20.—The British Charge d'Affaires, Mr. Mellish, yesterday presided at a grand entertainment in the Salon d'Apollon, in honour of the Coronation of King George IV. A. numerous company of English, Hanoverians, and others celebrated, with the greatest enthu siasm, this happy occurrence. The usual pa triotic and loyal toasts were drunk, and the fa vourite national airs sang in great perfection.— Hamburgh Papers, Jui c y 20.) "CORFU, JUNE 15.—We learn from the Morea, that all the forts in the Peninsula, including Patras, are in the hands of the brave Pelepon nesians. The Peleponnesus is now quite free from armed Mussulmen ; some peaceable and un armed Mussulmen remain in the country, where they follow agriculture. They have nothing to fear from the Greeks, who have promised to protect them, and keep their word. " FRANKFORT, JULY 17.—1 t is affirmed that there are at this moment important communica tions going on between the great Northern Powers, and between those Powers and France and England. It is certain that these communi cations are relative to a Note addressed by the Ottoman Porte to several Sovereigns respecting its differences with Russia. It was said at Ber lin, that Russia would adopt the system that should be taken by Austria, in case the Rus sians should invade the Tnrkish territory. A re port was current at Berlin that the garrison of the Grand Duchy of Posen were to be reinforced by the regiments now in East Prussia. " Commercial letters from Vienna and Odessa continue to assert that there will be no war be tween Russia and the Porte, and that the great I'owers will become umpires. BRUSSELS, JULY 20.—Accounts from Ba tavia of 27th January, state that some mutineers had again attempted to disturb the public tran quillity at Banca, and to seize on the fort of Koba, but bad been repulsed and put to flight. " The cause of the measures to be taken to wards the Vrai Liberal and the Flambeau is not yet known, but it is supposed that they pro ceeded chiefly from the representations of a neighbouring Government." Extract of a Letter from the Agents to Lloyd's at Smyrna, dated 19th June : " This city has, since our last, continued subject to disorder, but no injury has been sustained by Europeans, in person or property, in possession, and we trust no occurrences will take place to involve the town in general, which is quiet at present. Great protection for order and safety is af forded by Iris Majesty's ship illedina, and 2 French ships of war in port. The Racehorse brig of war had pro ceeded on a cruize in the Archipelago, on the 14th instant, just before serious disturbances broke out. An embargo has been renewed, witlth these fctur days, on all vessels in OH? port—they 'are crowded with Europead and other families from the shore, in consequence of the alarm lately excited. A Turkish ship of the line has been destroyed by fire, after an attack by a number of Greek vessels, off Myteline, in which the Greeks lost many ships. They continue, as far as we have learned, to maintain neutrality to all European flags." Extract of a Letter from the Agents to Lloyd's, at Constan tinople, dated .25th June. " The Turkish - fleet having proceeded as far as My teline, has been driven by the Greek squa dron within the Castles of the Dardanelles, where it is waiting reinforcements, now preparing with great activity. The Greeks have destroyed one man of war, and, according to report, have take► a frigate." Extract of a Letter from the Agents to Lloyd's, at Malta, dated June 14. 44 The Cambrian frigate, with the remaining four Companies of the 36th Regt. on board, will sail to-morrow for the lonian Islands. The Transport ' No. 31, with troops, is entering the ?arbour. Two other vessels, supposed trans- ports, are in sight." This being the day appointed by the CHAN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER to receive the bid dings for a New Lottery, the Gentlemen in clined to be Bidders attended at the Treasury at eleven o'clock, when after some conversation re specting the terms of bidding and the Scheme to be allow ed, the following were the Biddiugs : Nesirs. HAZARD & CO £l3 8 0 per Ticket. Mr. GEORGE CARROLL l3 3 0 ditto. Mr. J. SIVENVI1101-1 T - Mr. T. I3ISH 13 1 9 ditto. which appearing to be the same sum by Messrs. 11AzAity and Co. and Mr. GEORGE CARROLL, they consulted together and agreed to become joint Contractors. CANADA.—We have received a complete series of the Quebec Gazettes to the 14th of June, from which we shall continue to make extracts for the information of our Readers at the outports. It appears that the Legislature of Lower. Canada was to meet on the IGth of the present month for the dispatch of business. REDUCTIONS IN TILE PUBLIC OFFICES.-If it is not already too late, we trust this harsh and penurious,—this cheese-paring measure, will be for the present suspended, and ultimately aban doned altogether. For the sake of humanity, it is to be hoped that persons holding offices with very large salaries will rather come voluntarily forward, and surrender a portion of their liberal incomes, on condition that the meritorious class of men, many of whom have long served the country, by the faithful discharge of laborious duties, for a comparatively trifling remuneration, shall be spared the ruinous reduction with which they are threatened, for a paltry object absolutely unworthy of national consideration, and utterly incapable of producing any sensible advantage to the people at large. The Earl of LIVERPOOL, influenced by these liberal considerations, is said to have opposed, though unsuccessfully, this un worthy sacrifice to the clamourers for indiscrimi nate retrenchment, and to have suggested that the reductions should only be made upon the high salaries. This benevolent effort, on the part of his Lordship, to preserve a deserving body of the public servants from the distressing embar rassments with which they are uselessly threat ; ened, does him honour, and we sincerely hope he will renew his opposition to the proceeding, and persevere until his opposition is successful.— , Though it is not to be expected that such in stances of patriotic munificence as that afforded by the Marquis CAMDEN, who laid down upon the altar of his country an income of twenty thousand a year,—though it is not to be expected that similar instances of generous disinterested ness should frequently occur, it is not too much to expect that those who are in the enjoyment of large annual sums fromihe public, should volun tarily make some partial sacrifice in behalf of the numerous parties whose salaries are not more than adequate to the duties and responsibility of their situations, or the value or duration of their past services; nor would it be either unjust or severe to compel them to make the requisite re ductions, rather than to wring a few paltry pounds from the inferior officers. Besides, the salaries of some offices have already been greatly lessened by the abolition of fees. We ,know a Gentleman whose emoluments, previous to the abolition, amounted from a thousand to twelve hundred a year; the loss of his fees has reduced his income to six hundred a year, without effect in:, an adequate reduction in his large family, which continued to increase, in spite of the dimi nution of his means. We have reason to believe that this is one out of many similar instances. Is it proposed to effect a further reduction of 20 per cent. in the salaries of persons whose incomes have already been so severely curtailed ? It would almost he justifiable to say that such a measure would not only be severe, but cruel and unjust. One of the Royal yachts has sailed for Ireland ; the remainder, under Commodore Sir CHARLES PAGET, await his MAJESTY'S orders. Yesterday morning the Duke of YORK trans acted Military Business with the KING.—The Duke of CLARENCE visited the KING yesterday. Yesterday the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE, the Duchess of GLOUCESTER, the Princess SOPHIA, and the Duchess of KENT, visited the Princess AGGGSTA• MISCELLANEOUS. The influx of visitors into Ireland, in conk; quence of the increased facility of passage from Portpatrick, Liverpool,- Holyhead, and Bris tol, has been very great. Frolic the establish ment of steam packets the‘pass4ge can.noNit be made in a - very few hours, with perfect ease and safety, and at a very trilling expence. His MA. J EST Y'S visit to the sister kingdom has, no doubt, attracted many of our countrymen thither; but it is quite cei tain that the improved communica- on has 16dticed many others, totally uncon- nected with the noyal party, to visit that ro mantic country, ant, we have no doubt that it will continue to have this effect, as Ireland abounds with beautiful; and magnificent scenery, and the splendid remains of antiquity, whilst the hospitality and kindness of the Irish to strangers is proverbial. We trust that it will tend to ce ment the friendship and to establish that social and generous intercourse between the two coun tries, which cannot fail to be productive of the greatest possible good to both. So great is the regularity of the passage, that a person may leave London on a Monday, dine in Dublin on the Wednesday, and be in London again on the Saturday morning. The rage for travelling in Steam Boats is so great, that all the births in both the LEITH Steam Vessels are engaged for the next three weeks !! In consequence of which many fami lies of distinction have determined to go to Scot- land in the smacks, which we believe will always secure sufficient encouragement to induce their owners to continue their employment between London and North Britain. BRIGHTON, JULY 26.—This town is now in the fervor of joyous expectation. It appears certain that his M AJESTY purposes being here on. Saturday—several of the Royal domestic esta blishment returned to the Pavilion last night. It is also concluded that his MAJESTY will make this place his embarkation point for Ireland. The Managing Committee of the Coronation Festival, to give facility to his MAJESTY'S reaching the barge over the beach to the water's edge, have given orders for a suitable platform to be con structed, by which his MAJESTY may pass upon level surface to the spot desired. The expence of this platform is not to be defrayed from the surplus of the collection for the past festival, a 5 erroneously reported, the Committee named hav ing solely undertaken to provide it through their own immediate means. The surplus mentioned is to be disposed of for the future entertainment of the poor, of which due notice is to be given. BRIDGE-TOWN, BARBADOES, JUNE Ic2.—c 4 are sorry to announce the intelligence of a m ost dreadful fire which took place at Bridge-town, Barbadoes, June 10th, and which is supposed to have originated through the carelessness of 3 baker. The conflagration soon spread in all di rections with a most alarming rapidity, and the town presented a scene of confusion and dismay which no pencil can depict. A strong south-east wind added to the fury of the flames. The bitants, though perfectly aware of the necessity of immediate exertion, yet so great was their terror, were unable to render the least assistance until the arrival of the 4th or King's own regi ment, who, with the utmost alacrity and sang field, threw aside their arms and accoutremen t, rushed into the flames, and at the hazard of their lives, saved many individuals from the devouring element. At the same time they preserved much valuable property, which would otherwise have been destroyed or plundered. In fact, the exer tions of the officers and men were beyond all praise, and will leave a lasting impression on the inhabitants of this Island. We have not Yet been able to ascertain the amount of the property destroyed, but it must be very considerable, a, upwards of sixty houses were consumed. 1j e are much indebted to General MAlNwAnisall his exertions, and the prompt assistance afforded by the Garrison, but for which, the greater P al ' of the town must have been burned." WEST'S GALLERY.—We should much regret that temporary matters have so pressed upon II) as to prevent us from paying due attention to the collection of Pictures left by this admirab le Artist, if we ranked it among the ordinary exhi bitions that are periodically presented to the Public. The works of this great Artist are of 3 much higher nature, and as long as they ran be preserved from the effects of time, THE GALLERY which contains them ought to remain a per tient object of attraction in this metropolis. f" mere works of ART they are entitled to the ad miration of all sound judges, but the subjects al' altogether of so awful, impressive, and instr ac " tive a nature, that it becomes in a great degr e t : a general duty to attend to them. The trot of the sacred scriptures, arid the divine c harac . t e ,. of our Redeemer, are represented in so strilo il i ; and so affecting a manner that they canno t il3 a viewed without feelings of the most p1e 35 1 t t solemnity. We are, indeed, persuaded a no spectator of this sublime collection c ell behold it, and quit the place without s ; ori a forcible impression upon the imaginal • l 4e and the heart, as may strongly tend to e'‘ c ,, feelings of devotion,and produce amoral inir %0 meta. The collection consists of 94 Pictures7 oo .. the stupendous work of one hand, and Yet t O ,O stituting. but a part of the numberless p r oduet i o d which issued from the same prolific Genhis/.,i q g the whole, with a very few exceptions, comP. ra d ia subjects of the utmost importance to rnaulo"„pi . liar their present state, and in relation to then there ness or misery hereafter.
