FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. TURKEY. EXTRACT OF A LETTEU. DATED CONSTANTINoPLE, AUGUST 10. The departure of Baron. STROGONOFF, as you will naturally conclude, has given rise to infinite speculation on the political consequences with which it is likely to be followed. You must not absolutely.infer a war from it at all, and certainly not an immediate one. Under the present sys tem of Europe, a consultation between Alexan der and his allies seems to be an indispensable necessity. This can take place in no mode so convenient as that of a Congress, and if time is afforded for deliberation, the difficulties in the way of an adjustment of the dispute will be les sened, if not removed. A mediation, and a powerful one, on the part of England and Aus tria,will no doubt be offered, for the policy of both those Governments manifestly tends towards the preservation of peace.' The Turks them selves, common sense will suggest, cannot enter tain any desire to engage in war with their Eu rope'an neighbours, and least of all with such a Power as that with which they are now threaten ed to be placed in opposition. With this know ledge of their disposition, and by the aid of a little prudent management, they may be brought to accede to almost any terms that could be pro posed unless Alexander models his conduct on the fable of the wolf and the lamb, and is deter mined, at all events, to pick a quarrel. It is only this morning that Strogonoff, who has been detained near a fortnight by contrary winds, sailed from Constantinople ; before his departure he caused the Imperial Russian arms to be removed from the Chancery. In what light his recent conduct will be viewed by his own Court remains to be ascertained. I under stand that, in the dispatches, forwarded by the Turkish Government to St. Petersburgh, he is distinctly charged, on very strong evidence, with having availed himself of the inviolability of his character to assist the Greek insurrection.— Whatever feelings may be associated with the Greeks on account of their struggles for liberty; which are among the first impressions we receive ir. education, it ought not to he forgotten that they are the subjects of Turkey, and that a Fo reign Ambassador in London might with as much propriety take upon him to aid and assist a re bellion in Ireland as Baron Strogonoff interfere, as every one believes he has done, for the cause of the Greeks. Notwithstanding the removal of the Russian ensigns, the Porte, which has always been anxious to manifest its friendly disposition towards that Power, continues the usual guard at the Russian palace, as if the Ambassador were still here. The embargo on the shipping is taken off; the Turkish Government have at length permitted the passage downwards of the immense number of cargoes of corn accumulated in this port : it is expected, however, that a stipulation shall be entered into by the commanders not to sell them to the Greeks. The agent to the Government has declared, that even the cargoes which have been here 40 or 50 days, and for the purchase of which he had engaged above 30 days ago, are to avail themselves of the general permission, as the Government cannot take them. The Turkish squadron, which sailed a few weeks ago from the Dardanelles, has not, as far as I can learn, yet done any thing very decisive. One of their first movements was for Samos, to inflict some punishment on the rebellious inha bitants of that island. It was supposed that it would have been necessary for that purpose to bring away the Asiatic troops (12,000 or 13,000 men) from Scala Nuova : but as soon as the fleet was discerned from Samos, the people became so much alarmed, that they sent out offers of sub. mission, which were received, on condition of their delivering up to the Turksithe ringleaders in the revolt. This was done, and the affair ended in that way, the fleet remaining but a very few days before Samos ; from whence they sailed for the island of Rhodes, with the view of effect ing a junction with a small fleet sent up to that quarter by the Pacha of Egypt. It consisted of 15 or 16 armed ships, though not of large bur den, and the Rhodians themselves are asserted very confidently to have contributed four armed vessels as auxiliaries to the Turkish squadron. With this accession of strength, which will be fully adequate, with tolerable discretion and common naval tactics, to meet any force the Greeks can bring against them, they next sailed, according to the advices last received, for Pre vesa, where they gained a further addition to their force by falling in with the squadron under the command of the Capitana Bey, which con sists of 16 sail, from frigates downwards ; and it is supposed that the whole tiave before this time returned to the Archipelago. I mentioned above, that the submission of the inhabitants of Samos had rendered the removal of the Asiatic troops from Scala Nuova unneces sary. This led to a scene of a most terrible de• scription. Disappointed in the hope they had entertained of being permitted to share in the plunder of Samos, they commenced a series of the greatest excesses upon the Christians at Scala Nuova, in the course of which 600 or 700 of them are said to have fallen victims. The only shelter that presented itself to those who were exposed to the first fury of the soldiery was the sostle, to which all that could fled. Others wer e flceived in the house of the Turkish Cadi, and among the latter fugitives was the English Vice- Consul himself, who, being a Greek by birth, durst not trust for protection to his official cha racter. I should have told you, that when the Turkish Admiral sailed from the island of Samos, he thought it prudent to leave behind him at Scala Nuova a number of transports, about 8 or 10. — These had not been long stationed there, when the Greek fleet, near 100 vessels strong, of which 10 were fire-ships, came down to the relief of Samos, which it was concluded would at least have been able to maintain a short contest with the Turks. As they found the business there wholly terminated, they proceeded to Scala Nuova. When the Turkish crews of the trans ports perceived them approaching, they set them on fire to prevent their falling into their hands, and went on shore. The state of Smyrna, respecting which all here have latterly felt great anxiety, is known here up to the 3d of this month, when every thing was tranquil and in quiet order. None of the Greeks had been killed or in any way molested for se veral days past ; in consequence of which, they had felt their confidence revive so far as to open their shops, and they were seen parading the streets with as much gaiety as if nothing had happened. Except the French, they have more levity of character, and suffer sooner the traces of great calamities to disappear from their minds, than any nation in the civilized world. The merchants at Smyrna are a good deal puzzled to ascertain what effect a war with Russia will have upon their commerce. My own opinion is, that it will go on in nearly the same way as usual, and not be much affected either one way or the other. The great point on which reliance is at present placed for the preservation of tranquillity at Smyrna is the vigour of the executive autho rity, which punishes with the utmost severity and promptitude those Turks detected in ,the com mission of any disorders or outrage. Some merchants of eminence have been ap prehended at Smyrna, in consequence of a suspi cion of participating in the insurrection. Among them are Stephano Rani, Omero Populi, and Omero Danagidi, They were sent off in custody for Constantinople. I percive some additional facts in my letters from Smyrna relating to the naval operations of the Turks and the Greeks. When the Turkish fleet got under sail from Samos, it steered for the southward in separate divisions, one of which falling in with the Greek fleet, and considering themselves overmatched, went into Stanchio about the 26th of last mouth, where the Greeks, being unable to gat at them, or fearing to come within cannon-shot, sent in four of their fire-ships to set one of the Turkish line-of-battle ships on fire. On this occasion, a very bold exploit was performed by the Turkish Commander, Cara Ali, who sent his launches for the purpose of towing the burning ships to a distance. He suc ceeded with three of them by the courage of his crews, though in danger every moment of being blown into the air. The fourth they even ventured to board, and extin guished the match that was to communicate with a train of gunpowder for the explosion of the vessel. The Admiral, in his dispatches, is said to speak of this affair, and not without rea son, as equivalent to a victory. Cara Ali is the most capable naval commander in the service of the Porte, and on his abilities the chief hope is placed by them, of the final extinction of the Greek insurrection, by depriving them of their superiority at sea. Indeed, my friends at Smyrna express belief that such is the case already, and that many of the Greeks, under that impression, are secretly taking measures for their individual safety. In one view of the question, the conse quenCes of this will be very terrible, and the naval contest between the Turks and the Greeks may end in piracy on the part of the latter, of a nature most destructive. I leave you to imagine, who know the large force they have at sea, to what a state the commerce of European nations in the Archipelago will be reduced, without the most complete protection. The Medina and the Racehorse are the only vessels stationed in the vicinity of Smyrna, while the French squadron is 16 sail. A. French 2-decker, a 60-gun ship, arrived at Smyrna in the latter end of July, with _Admiral Ilalgan on board. The Dutch have one ship of war of 36 guns. I have a friend at Salonica who writes me word on the 31st of July, that official accounts have been received there of the passage of the straits of Thermopylm by Nahomet Pacha, and of the subsequent taking of Livadia. This advan tageous position will enable him to detach a large portion of his force for, the Morea, for which destination Bairam Pacha, at the head of 12,000 Asiatics, is also passing. Thus I expect very soon to hear that the Greeks in the Morea are reduced to submission, as their contending against such a force is entirely hopeless. It may be years, however, before those provinces are restored to a state of tran quillity, or the Greeks anti Turks, even in ap pearance, have the same degree of mutual con fidence as before the insurrection. A report is just current, the truth of which I have not time to ascertain, that the Turkish Government, in conformity with the dictation of the Russian note, have published an amnesty to the Greeks for three months. How far this evidence of sincerity, if that is the case, may in fluence the decision of the Russian Cabinet to wards peace, there is no saying ; hut unless war, at all events, is resolved on, it ought to have some weight.--,(The Timer.) with regard to Turkey ; our relations with Rus sia are most amicable, and we shall, at all events, make common cause with that Power : however, we must think on maintaining peace with the rest of Europe. To this effect fresh instructions have been sent to Prince Esterhazy, at London, who, under the present circumstances, will double his zeal, and it is not likely that England will fail to be convinced of the sincerity of our friend ship. The Declaration of France, as we have said, is nothing less than alarming. Besides, as the as sistance of our Cabinet may be depended upo❑ to maintain the balance of Europe, we are less em barrassed about the fate of Turkey than about the form of government to be given to the Greek provinces which may be delivered from the Turkish power. Conjectures are endless, and among other projects spoken of, some politicians are for forming Greece into a confederation of small States, like that of Germany. The re establishment of the Order of Malta is also spoken of. VIENNA, AUG. 28. r--We still doubt of war.— The_Porte has taken off the embargo which it had laid on Russian vessels, according to letters from Constantinople of the 10th, which we have just received, and have opened to them the pas sage of the Dardanelles. It is affirmed that the answer of the Porte, which has been sent to St. Petersburgh, is of a very pacific nature. FLANDERS MAIL. VIENNA, AUG. is affirmed that the Archduke Ferdinand, Governor-General of Hun gary, will have the chief command of all the troops forming our army of observation on the eastern frontiers. The strength of this army has been exaggerated ; it will not exceed 60,000 men at present ; the cause would be different if war should break out; for if then,even if Austria took no part in it, the army would be probably augmented to double its actual force. Opinions here are more than ever divided on the subject of peace and war. The arrival of every new cou rier causes a change of opinion. It is certain that our Government does its utmost to prevent war. The people of Vienna, as well as the Aus trians in general, take a lively interest in the fate of the Greeks. If the Government allowed it there would be already numerous associa tions in their favour. The Greek merchants at Vienna eagerly refute the reports contained in some papers of the cruelties exercised by the Greeks against the Turks. These accounts are, if we believe them, mere fictions. A Declaration of the Cabinet of the Tuileries is spoken of, but which, far from being alarm ing, furnishes a new proof of the prudence and perspicacity of the present Government of France. On the other hand, an extraordinary activity pre vails in our Cabinet. Our resolution is taken The German Papers and Dutch Mail, received this morning, bring the following intelligence. There has been a severe action between the Greeks and the Turks, which, according to the Mahometan account, terminated most disastrously for the Greeks. We must not, however, rely on the truth of all that the rvlussulinans say in praise of their own valour, any more ilium we do on that which they allege as to their moderation and clemency : " VIENNA, SEPT. I. " OTTOMAN EMPIRE. " By the latest accounts from Constantinople of the 10th August, it appears that news had been received there from, the Morea and Livadia, which state, that the Imperial troops had suc ceeded in driving the Insurgents from some dis tricts of those provinces, and in restoring tran quillity there. The details are contained in the following ‘c EXTRACT FROM A REPORT OF MAIIOMED PACIIA, GOVERNOR OF. THE MOREA, TO GRAND VISIR, or• JULY 23 :- 4 c I inform your Excellency, that I arrived before Livadia on the 23d June, and enca►npQd here with my army. The Rajas had murdered thQgreater part of the Alussulmen in this pro vince, violated their women, and made their fa milies slaves. They persisted in their rebellion, and when they learned - that troops were ad vancing against them, the insurgents of the sur rounding districts united with those who formed their advanced posts in the Morea, and entrenched themselves in Livadia. To prevent the desola lion of the country, and to treat them with mo deration, I sent several flags of truce to them, who summoned them to avoid the impending mis fortune,and declared to them, that if they would submit, they might expect security and pardon of what had passed from the Sublime Porte. " Without paying the slightest attention to this generous offer,the insurgents agreed together that they would not suffer themselves to be con sidered as Rajas for the future, and began a fire of cannon and musketry from the fort and en trenchments. " Early in the morning the Army drew up in three lines, and began the battle. Victory de clared for the Alusselmen, and the greater part of the Insurgents was cut. to pieces. Of those who remained about 1,000 escaped into the fort; and 1500 retreated with their arms into houses. One or two of these houses were set on fire to make room for the van of the army, and if neces sary to storm the place. A high -wind suddenly arising spread the flames ; the ; Insurgents who had fled into the houses were the viaims, and al most the half of the large and handsome build ings was consumed, and it was with difficulty that those lying on the top of the mountain were saved. As the fire caught the house in which I myself was, I was obliged to remove to another_ " On the day of my arrival before Livadia a certain Captain Dissuvo had left the City and collected a band of Rebels a mile and a half off. It was therefore necessary to take measures for hindering them from coming to the aid of the In surgents shut up in the fort. For this purpose I caused the village to be attacked with two-thousand men. The enemy was entirely defeated, 150 dead_ and as many wounded remained on the field. When the enemy shut up in the Fort saw that there was no deliverance for them, they threw themselves in despair from the ramparts; some were killed, others dreadfully mutilated. Those that were still in the fortress begged -for mercy for themselves, their wives, and children ; and- it mas granted them." " In this engagement there have perished in all above 3,000 of the enemy, partly by the sword and partly by the flames. As the Coran says, " When thou hast gained a victory over thy " enemy, thou shalt pardon him in order to " testify thy gratitude," the remainder of the Insurgents could :eckon on the magnanimity and mildness of the Sublime Porte, which was in fact she wn towards them when they declared their sub mission, and begged permission to return to their houses. A Buluk-Baschi was ordered for. this _purpose with a detachment of troops to receive them in the Castle, and to conduct them back to their dwellings. This was done in solemn procession, amidst the acclamations of the con querors, carrying before them the standards taken from the rebels." 44 At Smyrna tranquillity is restored, Scala Nuova and Mytelene, on the contrary, were the theatre of the most sanguinary scenes. " Near Salonichi there is likewise a band of insurgents, which the Pacha of that town is or dered to disperse and destroy. The Turkish fleet lately seen off Samos is said to have gone to Rhodes, to join the squadron fitted out by Ma hornet Ali, Pacha of Egypt. This squadron i 4 stated to consist of 15 Fail, and to be manned chiefly with European sailors. It is commanded by Ismael Gibraltar, the same who was for'rnerly the Pacha's agent in Sweden and Leghorn. He is said to have able seamen, and even to have formerly served on board English ships. " Ibrahim, Pacha of Brussa, is still encamped near Bujukdere, on the Bosphorus ; he has re ceived fresh reinforcements of troops from Asia." Among the most remarkable works of the late days is the execution of Yell Pacha and Mondar Pacha, the two elder sons of Ali Dependeli Pacha, of Joanniva. The first was in exile at Kutahie, and the second at Kaissarige. A Greek, disguised as a Dervise, served them as a spy; he was arrested at Constantinople, and the corres pondence found on him betrayed the secret of the sons of the Tyrant of Epirus. The Royal French frigate the Lily has brought to Smyrna Rear Admiral Ilalgan; he immediately hoisted his flag on board La Guerriere. " The events which most European Journals have announced with so much confidence, such as the participation of the Jews in the dreadful excesses committed on the dead body of the Patriarch, the violation of 150 Greek virgins in the Bazar, and so many other reports, are wholly unknown in Constantinople, and absolutely fic tions, originating in other countries. The heads of the Jewish community.at Constantinople have even taken public steps to refute the reports re lative to their nation, and the well-known affair at Odessa too well justifies their apprehension of similar re-actions in other places. " The plague has made no farther progress at Smyrna. In the capital no symptoms of it had yet appeared. C 4 WA LLACHIA AND MOLDAVIA.--Troops of the dispersed insurgents still harbour in the re cesses of the mountains of Moldavia, and are 1 very dangerous to the tranquillity of the province. One of these troops appeared on the 19th in the evening, quite unexpectedly, before the town of Nyamz, in which there was a 'Turkish garrison of 25 men, surrounded the town, and set it on fire in three places. .The Turkish garrison, and thnt aft the Jewish inha bitants, threw themselves into the Church of St. John, which, however, was soon set on fire by the insurgents on all sides, and was still burning - at the,departure of the messenger, who was witness to this horrible scene. A corps of the Turkish army was expected from Jassy; which i 5 destined to put an end to the farther incursion s and marauding of these remains of the Hetarists in that province.—(Austrian Observer, Sept. 1.) " VIENNA,. .AUG. 23.—Letters from Corfu of 3 recent date assert that the French Fleet, which ceuises iu the Levant, consists of thirty vessel s ' of different sizes, and that twenty others are. expected. 4/ BRODY, AUG. 9.—The German papers grea tly exaggerate the Russian warlike preparations an marches of troops. The greatest part of the southern army under Gen. Count Wittgenstein is still in its old cantonments,-and has merely detached some light troops to the Pruth. The West Army, a: it is called, has not yet made any movernen" whatever. of " BRODY, AUG. 14.—With the exception a large mass of troops,. which is between 01( town and Odessa, nothing is observed that indi cates that Russia will take an active part in the affairs of the Greeks.

THE RISE and PROGRESS of the GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, with Anecdotes of the Projector. and hie early Associates. By JOHN . I.%;jcnoLs, F.S.A. Lund. Edin. and Perth. The GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE is not only highly interesting on account of its long and es tablished reputation, owing to the vast mass of miscellaneous and valuable matter which it has afforded, but because it led to the introduction of Dr. JOHNSON'S stupendous powers, which have since been employed so much to the advantage of mankind. This tract abounds with interesting anecdotes respecting the early days of that great Moralist, which are new to the Public, as well as many others relating to the several men of talents and learning who were engaged in aiding the progress of the Magazine to the high charac ter which it had acquired, and has hitherto duly maintained. The indefatigable zeal of Mr. Nichols in literary inquiries, and the conscien tious accuracy with which he records them, arc two well known to require any euloglum from us. There are many anecdotes respecting Edward Cave, the intelligent, industrious and provident founder of the Magazine, which do not appear in the life of him, written by Dr. Johnson.—The work altogether is compiled with great care, and will be read with much pleasure. It is not cal culated to admit of extracts in this place, and therefore we shall only subjoin an anecdote of Dr. Johnson, which skews that though, as he says, Slow . rises worth, by poverty dcprchs'd," yet that genius, when combined with diligence and morality, need not despair, but will generally in time break through all obstructions and reach its proper elevation.—" Soon after the publica tion of this life (the life of Savage) which was anonymous, Mr. Walter Harte, dining with Mr. Cave at St. John's Gate, took occasion to speak very handsomely of the work. Cave told Ilarte, when they next met, that lie had made a man very happy the other day at his house, by she encomiums he bestowed on the author of Savage's Life. " How could that be ?" Cave replied, " You might observe I sent a plate of victuals behind the skreen. There skulked the Biogra pher, one Johnson, whose dress was so shabby that he durst not make his appearance. He overheard our conversation ; and your applaud ing his performance delighted him exceedingly." —Who could have thought at the period when this event happened, that Walter Ilarte, who was then in high estimation as a writer, and in affluent circumstances, would have been in time so overshadowed by the poor shabby man ap peasing his hunger behind the skreen, as to sink into comparative obscurity, if not oblivion, while the latter has soared to the height of literary fame, and his works will exist as long as vir tue, genius, and learning shall be held in rever ence by mankind ?
