Amongst their ravishers, there are some with souls so atrocious that they will not listen to any species of arrangement. " One of these monsters refused 10,000 piastres for the ransom of the wife of Gaba, and replied, that he would not restore her for 200,000. I have contributed to the ransom of Theodora Halle, purchased for 5,000 piastres. M. Petrochochico, on learning the death of his brother, precipitated himself from a window ; his sister Julia threw herself into a ditch ; the other, made a slave, was brought 'here, where she was immediately pur chased. Our good friend, Jean d'Andre, was killed in his house in the presence of his wife, whilst hastening to save his two sons, who shared the fate of their father, alsO in the presence of they mother; the latter has been co nve y e d i n slave r y to Algiers. cc My hand refuses to trace at greater length the atrocious scenes which I- have witnessed, and, others a thousand times more dreadful might be added to these I have cited.

MASSACRE AT SCIO. , COP Y OF • LETTER WRITTEN FROM LEGHORN, BY A GREEK HOUSE, TO ONE OF THEIR CONNEC TIONS IN LONDON. " LEGHORN, JUNE 18, 1822. f r , lll Y DEAR FRIEND—In m y l as t o f th e 15 t h i nst ., I i n - T"riflemed you of the arrival here on that d a y of two o f our coun tY, n Mr. M. Rodocanachi and Mr. G. Zizinia, from Scio rY had obtained their passage on board an Austrian ship of a - „ a , t r ; and had performed their journey in 37 days from Scio, 3 0 days from - Smyrna. I know the anxiety you must feel fb7Pecting the deplorable state of our unfortunate island : of we are able to judge, by the keenness of our own feelings on SI sub ject ; and as these two friends had come direct-from ther e , and had been witnesses of part of the horrors committed er e, I hardly left them for two days, during which time they g a ve me the foll ow i ng v i v id pi c t ure o f t h e m i sery o f our d ear 1 4 ut ' rT as nearly as I can remember : h h : it was on the 11th of April that the Capitan Pael la 3 ,,,7 4(11 , several thousand men ; but the Turkish fleet had b-Lceiy. hove in sight, when the commander in the castle derbombarding the town, and from that time till the d it e Y of our departure, it was one continued scene of mur la'r; et lidagration, and plunder, both in country and town. th: - I ', lr er.e they even satisfied with the ravages fire made upon } candy uses • its progress was too slow for their fury, and the t o f men aided and assisted the raging element. They f°°ll-,nles`? the castle about 800 of the gardeners of the principal whom by dint of threats of instant death, and pro of liberty, they forced to confess, as far as they knew, 6 () er e an ._ „ y property had been hid. In almost every garden, at gr a ;u. Yards distance, were seen pits dug for the purpose of Were -lug the supposed concealed treasure. All the women se _ . Years of into slavery ; the men and male children (above 12 ages of of age) were massacred; the children of the tenderest % - , 6e, and the most beautiful from among the young women, un e d re er se a li sai t on board the i ships . with great pomp and solemnity, likenute of guns : they circumcised the male children, in t h e et t ..of conversion to the Mahonietan faith ; and then sent off vv .. dren of both sexes by land for Constantinople, by the - Y . of Smyrna, under escort of Tkish soldiery. tllgicaents of Turks had an assembled, and shut up in a place Two in e country about 700 persons, c h ie fly peasants, w h om t h ey Ineant to divide among themselves as slaves ; but not being hue to agree in the partition, began disputin g . A pr i est, more - loane than the rest, expostulated to with them upon their th l -e ntions and exhorted them concord, when one of ese sa age brutes exclaimed, that the only way to avoid dissension .la l to put them all to the sword ; and in less than half an hour these innocent men were put to death. Others of these th e had in their possession four families of distin c ti o n ; vinrnen and children they sent to the city, and the men they bled to d eat h. • th e BY all we have been able to gather, it appears, that from ta tz d a er es Y . moment the Turkish fleet was destined for Scio, the truction of the island, and the annihilation of its inha. cal It's: were resolved on, without any examination of their d ed I:,abihty or innocence. On the Bth of May the Pacha or er the: ') re spectable men that he had on board to be hung up to t dulasts, which served as a signal to the Governor of the Castle . the 0 the same with the 85 hostages, ordering at the same time 71 111. 1411 / 1 , gardeners, who were still in custody, to be strangled. Ito c e . s - ', a e t i°th May, on , which day we left Scio, there has been th °n to murdering, conflagration, and enslarin,. with hear etr h a ccompanying ferocity. Do not be surprised if you th er Lat there have been nearly 60,000 Turks on the island ; wea t e P u rt of the numerous and rich spoils of those who first thethe " Ov er, the sight of gold, silver, jewels, &c., shipped off by c a ve to places of safety, enticed over a horde of these oulail t 'aris, thirsting for Christian blood and plunder. The tam t e r of slain amounted, on the 10th, to twenty-five thou theseaf captives, to thirty thousand • those who have saved the % el3 'es 1 3y flight are comparatively few ; those who already l a thed the Continent, and those immediately expected,are athe n - , ones that are saved ; all the others you may reckon t'4' the dead and the captives. Those even who have escap lavi,sol the T ur k s, must soon fall a prey to famine, as they are h ave “R about the mountains without food or raiment. ,How we P rovi e t l ea Ped, we hardly know—it seems a dream; but the divine aad ben race assisted us, having so many dangers to encountFr, it w aa u.4' so well known to the Turkish inhabitants ot Scio, l !atst v i °lll Y changing clothes, and being accompanied by the -adits,n Consul", fiat saved us.

Paris Papers of Wednesday arrived last night, from which we give extracts in a preceding column. Among them is an affecting letter from Smyrna, giving an account of the late atrocities committed at Scio ; and in another part of our Paper we have inserted another leyer from a Greek Merchant at Leghorn to his friend in this metropolis on the same subject. These heart- • rending communications speak for themselves, and any . confluent from us wOilld be siiperfluous. It appears by advices from Bayonne of .the 27th of June, that an assemblage of 2000 men, composed of Spanish refugees and adventurers of all descriptions, collected at St. Jean Pied de Port, had crossed the frontier, wider the pompous title of " Army of the Faith," and after dis arming a post of 50 nati ona l guar d s , h a d pene trated to the vicinity of Estella, which the Spanish constitutionalists occupied in force.— Spanish troops and the disposable militia of Na varre were marching from all directions against these insurgents; the passes in their rear have been occupied by strong detachments, to prevent their return to France, and, General LOPEZ thNos had arrived at Vittoria, and was pre paring to attack them in front. It was expected that this " Army of the Faith " would either be forced to surrender, or be surrounded' and destroyed, 'without a chanceof escape. Private letters from Spain, received in London yesterday, give satisfactory accounts of the inter nal state of Spain, very different' from the exaggerated statements of insurrections contained in the Ultra Papers of France. There is no intelligence of interest respecting France itself. The Chamber of Deputies have adopted the various articles of the new Tariff, and have now only to vote on the whole law.

Philadelphia, New Orleans, and New _Bruns wick Papers arrived this morning. The follow ing are extracts : ( From the Philadelphia Paper to the 11th June.) DEPARTMENT OF STATE,JUNE7.—Authentic intelligence has been received at this Department, that the King of HOLLAND, by a decree of 20th March last, has ordered that the charge of pilotage shall be the same in American and Dutch vessels within his States; and that restitution shall be made to the parties of all monies that have been `paid on account of the additional imposition. PORT-AU-PRlNCE.—Accounts, of the Bth May, represent the market at Port-au-Prince in a very deplorable state.—lt was expected that the return of the President, and of the troops, would have had a favourable influence on commerce, but these expectations have been disappointed. [Extract of a Letter from an Officer on board the Macedonian Frigate, dated Ha v a nna h, M ay 10.1 " We arrived here on the 28th ult„_ after a tedious passage of 26 days ; nothing of much importance happened during our voyage. Last Saturday night an American brig, while at anchor under the Moro, was attacked by a boat filled with men, but were repulsed, and three of them were wounded. The police of this place is so wretched, that the greatest villains escape punishment even if they are caught. On Friday even ing two men were assassinated. Yesterday there were three cases of the yellow fever in the town, but our crew are remark ably healthy . There are at p resen t 100 sa il o f A mer i can yes. sels In this port." Ministers are determined not to allow the Opposition to claim the merit of their future measures of economy. We suggested to Earl GREY the idea that his intended Motion, for the further reduction of Taxes, might come, with more effect in the beginning of the next Session than at the close of this, after the work of re trenchment, that had been thought for the pre sent practicable, was already concluded. Or ra ther we inferred that it was from his Lordship's experience and prudence in Parliamentary war fare, that he had come to the determination of withdrawing his Motion, and of reserving it until the aspect of affairs should indicate the ap proach of measures, which, though matured and put into operation by others, he might by a little dexterous management contrive to represent as originating with himself. Mr. HUME has pretty successfully manoeuvred in this way in the House of Commons; and it is but reasonable that the party should resolve to have the advantage of similar dexterity in the Lords. The Minis ters, however, have contrived to be before hand, for once, with their crafty oppo nents; and, though Earl GREY has abandoned the formidable attack which he meditated in the Upper House, and though Mr. HonuousE's attempt to storm the 'Window Tax was defeated in the Commons, they have taken the precaution to announce their intention to continue the opera tions of the pruning knife in the next Session of Parliament, lest the Opposition should have the opportunity, by an early clamour, of contending that the future voluntary concessions of Govern ment had been wrung from it by the force of their eloquence, and the vigilance and power of their patriotism and zeal. In the debate last night on the Army Extraorclinaries, Mr. AR, BUTIINOT stated, that' s Reductions were to be made, which would appear next year, to the satisfaction, he hoped, of, the House and the country. It was 'the determination of Govern ment to make reductions, wherever they were practicable, as the country would see to its satis faction, in the course of the next Session !" This de claration, be it observed,is no loose and general ex pression ofa disposition to economy,but is an express pledge to make reductions in the next session, to the satisfaction of the House and the country ! The Opposition have to thank the imprudence of Mr. HUME, in putting a forced and unfavourable con struction on the language of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, for this distinct avowal having been drawn from Ministers.—We heartily con gratulate the country on the prospect which Mr. ARBUTHNOT has presented to it. Whatever may be our opinion of the effects of taxation on the national ind'ustr'y, it is most gratifying to find, that, though the country is labouring under agricultural and commercial distres4, its financial prosperity is progressive and se cure,—that though it is struggling with some domestic difficulties, it is with an increasing re venue from diminished taxes,—in a high state of public credit and with an efficient battery di rected against its debt,—in a condition to assert its rightsand to maintain its independence abroad. The meeting of the Lords of the Treasury, which was to have taken place this day, to hear the claims of the parties to the booty captured by the army of the Deccan, under Lieutenant General Sir THOMAS HISLOP, in the late war in India, has been postponed, we find, to Thursday next, owing to the indisposition of the Earl of LIVERPOOL, which confines his Lordship to his room. On Thursday next, however, we under stand the parties have been directed to attend again, when no doubt is entertained that this long pend ing business will be fully heard and decided, as great anxiety prevails in India on the subject.

The following letter appeared this day in a Morning Paper, and we insert it in justice to the Proprietors of Covent-Garden Theatre, to afford them an opportunity of Contradicting what we conceive to be the result of private malevolence, or of giving a satisfactory explanation of the statement, if founded in truth : TO THE EDITOR. SlR—The public will be much surprised to hear that almost all the principal performers at Covent-Garden have declined to continue their engagements ; and the frequenters of . the play house are next season to be_dEprived of the pleasure they have experienced for several years in witnessing the exertion of the talents of Mr. YOUNG, Mr. MACREADY, and Mr. Lin. orr ; and in listening to the sweet notes of Miss STEPHENS, the powers of whose voice have probably' contributed to swell the receipts of the house more than all the rest of the Company put together. I am, Sir, &c. July 4, 1822. DRAIVIATICUS. Mrs. BUNN performed Queen Elizabeth in the new play of _Kenilworth, for the first time, at the Edinburgh Theatre, on Tuesday last, to a crowded house, with complete success. Vauxhall Gardens last night, notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the morning, was well attended. The company were by no means scanty, as anticipated to a degree which war ranted the ,Proprietors to announce, by large placards posted around the entrances, that they were fearful of being under the necessity of cur tailing the accustomed amusements of the even ing, viz. rope-dancing, fireworks, and, if rainy, the Orchestra would be stationed in the Rotunda; but as the evening turned out more favourable than the morning, the Proprietors, alive to the pleasure of their visitors, and highly creditable to their liberality, gave their grand treat without any curtailment or alteration.

The 4th Irish Dragoon Guards, at Glasgow barracks, .were to depart for lrelandyesterday. They are to be succeeded by the Scots Greys. The remaining troop of the 9th Lancers have left Brighton for Weymouth, at which place and Exeter the other part of the regiment is stationed. The gentlemanly and soldier..like conduct 'of the regiment, during its stay there, snakes their leaving it a matter of general regret. Four troops of the 3d, or the. King's Light Dragoons, marched in to replace th e 9 t h on Wednesd a y, commanded by Colonel Lord Charles Man ners, but under the immediate command of Lieut.-Colonel Hutchins. This fine regiment, which is in the highest state of condition and • discipline, served with great gallantry during the greater part of. the Peninstilar.war, and particularly dis tinguished itself in the battle of Salamanca, when it was a heavy regiment,. and composed part of the Brigade under the command of General Le Marchant, who fell in the arms of victory. Brighton, it is said, will be the head-quarters of this gallant regiment. Tuesday last, the troop of the East Kent Yeomanry Cavalry, commanded by Captain Halford, were 'entertained by their worthy Captain in the grounds of Paddock House, near Car.- terbury. Several of the neighbouring gentry and tradesmen of the city were invited to enjoy the festivities of the day.__ Nearly 100 sat down to an excellent dinner in a spacious booth erected for the occasion. After the cloth was removed, the sparkling glass went round in quick succession, and several loyal and patriotic toasts were given, and drank with enthusi asm, and the company did not separate till a late hour, highly delighted with the hospitality and liberality of their host. On Wednesday morning three Companies of the 7th Royal Fuzileers marched from Chatham Barracks for Windsor, to relieve the 2d Battalion Coldstream Guards, ordered to Ireland, to relieve the 13th regiment, ordered to Chatham, to embark for India ROYA L NAVY, 4c.

It is most earnestly requested that the Vestries of respective parishes will avail themselves of the assistance of Gentlemen in making up the collection under the King's Letter. No disproportion of benevolence and charity can be supposed, but there is the greatest difference in the collections, arising solely from the different degree of method and activity in soli citing subscriptions. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin—As the attention of the Committee for Managing the Subscription for the Relief of the Distressed Districts in Ire land is completely engaged, and much more than the whole of their fund required to supply the urgent demands which are made upon them for food, I beg leave most earnestly to'request•the English Ladies toJend their assistance in provid-. ing a stock of clothing before the approach of winter for the de stitute women and children, numbers of whom, there is reason to believe, have already been obliged to sell their clothes to purchase food. If every family were to furnish a few articles only, the expense of time and money to each individual would be so trifling as scarely to be felt, while the aggregate contribution might place such a store at the dis posal of the Committee as would materially assist their endeavours to relieve the unhappy sufferers, whose distress in the winter for want of covering may be scarcely less severe than that which they are now enduring from the deficiency of food. Those to whom I now address myself will feel a satisfaction in this measure, which anticipates the wants of their own sex in the approaching season. They will, I hope, permit me to sug gest to them that the most useful articles of clothing will be, for the women—shifts, flannel petticoats, stuff petticoats, and bed-gowns ; for the children—frocks, shifts, and flannel petti coats with bodies. I feel certain that this appeal to mothers and daughters will not be in vain when made to them, as it now is made, by A BRITISH LADY. The accident of his Royal Highness the Duke of SUSSEX will, in all probability, be productive of a tedious confinement. The tendon Achilles is so,violertly strained by the fall of his Royal _Highness, in descending from his carriage, that it is deemed essential to abstain from any exer tion until the flexibility of the tendon shall be perfectly restored. The Duke of BEDFORD is doing well. The last account which reached town was, that his Grace had passed a good night, and that the symptoms had moderated. The attack proceeded from a too great determination o f bl oo d t o th e head. Hisa race must have been left very weak, as he lost 72 ounces of blood at the first bleeding. He was likewise bled a second time. 1' t he the ) 14 ' 3t t hou' ,res t s v i l iCh 001 r fa were a the L 6 to frO ro We wan 3 they
