He had abstained from doing so, as he wished sincerely, if possible, to avoid the dis cussion in the House of Commons, and conceived that the Pe titions should be first discussed in the Lords, where the Rev. Prelate would have an opportunity of vindicating himself. Such a discussion having now taken place, he hoped that what then occurred would have the effect of inducing the Bishop to reconsider the subject, and return to that which had so lon been the uniform practice of the Church. If these hopes should be disappointed, lie should consider it his duty to call the at tention of the House to the subject in the earliest period of the next Session. SUGAR TRADE.—It is rumoured in the City that one of the reasons for the Postponement of the Budget of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER to Monday . next is, that the Sugar Trade'have been desirous of entering into some arrangement with the Government, by which an increased bounty may be allowed on the exportation of Refined Sugars, without affecting the price to the home consumer. In further ance of this object a deputation of the Trade waited upon the CHANCELLOR of the , ExcuEQuEn. yesterday morning, and we understand that, after . a long interview, the Right Honour able Gentleman expressed himself favourable to : the wishes of the Trade.—(.2Vere Times.) LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE :t7• The LORD CHIEF :JUST ict sat at Nisi Priv:, and dis posed of several CommOn Jury causes, of no public interest. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, JUNE 27. ENGLISH AND IRISH DISTILLERS. • THE KING V. MACKENZiE. The LORD CHIEF BARON gave the judgment of the Court in this case, which turned upon a question of great importance to the distillers in England, anti those in Ireland. The pro ceeding Was against the defendant, a dealer in spirits, who was charged, under the Act of the 26th of Geo. 111. cap. 74, sec. 32, with having had a quantity of British spirits in his posses sion from one to ten above hydrometer proof, he not being either a distiller'or rectifier of spirits. By the above cited Act it is ordered, that no one but a rectifier or distiller of British spirits shall have any spirits in his possession above one-tenth over proof; and, in short, that none shall be sold but at the strength of one to eight under proof. The purposes of these re gulations had been before stated with so much perspicuity, that there was no necessity for entering into them on this occasion. The Jury had found a special verdict on the case ; finding that the spirits seized had been distilled in Ireland, that the coun tervailing duty had been duly paid, that they were found in the custody of the defendant, who was not a rectifier or distil ler, but a dealer in spirits, and that the spirits in question were from one to ten over proof, and were imported since the Union. It was not disputed, that if the spirits were British spirits, the seizure was a lawful one ; but it was alleged that they were British on the grounds that there was no • specific enactment which brought spirits distilled in Ireland under the control of the British Excise laws, or which made them British ; neither were spirits distilled in Ireland considered as foreign spirits ; as they had been before the passing of the Act of Union, and therefore it was contended. that they were neither subject—to the laws for the regulation of the importation of foreign spirits, or those for the regulation of the sale of the British, but . that they were subject solely to those laws made for the regulation of Irish spirits." If this construction were to obtain, the Irish distiller would be enabled, upon , paying the counter vailing duties, to bring his spirits into this country as its own strength ; for instance, at one to ten over proof, whilst the British spirit dealer was only allowed to bring his spirits into the market at one to eight under proof, and would be thus beaten out of it. The whole question turned upon the construction of the 30th and 40th of Geo. 111. and. the 6th article of this Act was allowed to be the key stone ot the argument. By this article it was regulated, that between the two countries there should be a complete mutuality and reciprocity in point of trade and commerce, that the produce or manufactures of one country should be placed upon the same footing as the other; the same encouragement given by coun ties, &c. and for the purpose of fixing this equality countervail ing duties were affixed. In the schedule affixed to the Act was a list of those articles of importation from Ireland on which countervailing duties were to be imposed ; and amongst them was one class headed " Spirits British," in which were enumerated every kind of spirits consumed in Britain, and directing, that on all such spirits distilled in and imported from Ireland, a certain countervailing duty should be paid. Although in the body of the Act spirits distilled in Ireland were not mentioned as British spirits," yet looking at this note in the schedule he could have no doubt that they could have viewed them as any thing on earth but as British spirits. For himself, the Learned Judge said, that on a review of the 6th ar ticle, he could not see that any other distinction could have been intended. By that article it was contracted that there should be a reciprocity of interest, a mutuality between the two countries, and it was the intention to make them in this respect as one nation. If, however, the con struction contended for were allowed, that reciprocity contracted for would be broken, and one party would have an advantage, a great advantage, which it was palpable could never have been intended or expected. Even if this arti cle of " Spirits British" had not been inserted in the schedule, the Learned Judge said he must have decided against the defendant, upon the language, principles, and intention of the Act; but the insertion ot this word, British, made it to him clear, beyond a doubt, that the Legislature considered spirits distilled in Ireland as British spirits. By this Act we understood the Learned Judge, all nationality had been de stroyed, and Ireland stood, as Scotland did, from its Union, • and though " Irish spirits" might be talked of, it was no more than it was to speak of " Devonshire cider," &c. which was yet British cider. He considered that :he body of the sixth article of the Act of Union had not in any way been affected by subsequent statutes, and on the whole he was of opinion that the verdict for the Crown ought to be entered, and the seizure confirmed. • WESTMINSTER SESSIONS. LITTLE • WADDINGTOX.—This morning Samuel Wad dington, the notorious radical bill-sticker, was indicted for committing an assault upon some watchmen of St. James's Parish. It appeared in evidence, that the little hero interfered in a street row, in Great Windmill-street, on the 10th March last, and, on being advised to withdraw, commenced an harangue on the corrupt state of the watch Men of this metropolis, and concluded by saying, the. systenf was altogether bad i and on the watchman's attempting to remove him, the little orator struck him twice on the face.—ln answer to this charge; Wad dington made a long speech, and called three witnesses who were present at the row, but did not see the assault.—The CHAIRMAN summed :up, and advised the Jury to consider the spare figure and short stature of the defendant, compared to the more athletic frame of the watchman, and then drew their inference. - -The Jury, after a moment's consultation, found a verdict -of Nut Guilty, and Waddington was discharged on paying the fees of 17s. 4d.

MASSACRE OF THE GREEKS AT CONSTANTI- NOPLE AND SCIO. The following affecting appeal from the Greeks at Constantinople to their brethren and country men here, was received by the last mail from Turkey : " Constantinople, May 25, 11122. " Dear and beloved Brethren and Countrymen,—We doubt not that the news contained herein must have already reached you, and fallen like a thunder-bolt on your hearts. What more dreadful than the knowledge that our illustrious and in nocent countrymen—ten of them in prison here, and those in the castle of Scio, 95 in all—universally esteemed and respect. ed, chosen and held as hostages for more than a year past, have at last, without a single motive, without even the shadow of a personal accusation against them, been barbarously exe cuted ? 'We at first deeply lamented the unmerited restraint put upon the persons of those now no more ; their death, ignominious and cruel, in the first burst of grief nearly para. lysed our faculties ; but these we look upon now as enjoying eternal and immutable felicity ; our pity is no longer their due, but it flows for those unfortunates who have survived, and who henceforth are doomed to tyranny unexampled in history, and privations of every kind. Who can, without shuddering, read of the total ruin, the universal desolation, of our famed and once happy isle (Scio) ; the destruction of all its inhabitants, nearly one hundred thousand, who, except a very few who almost miraculously escaped' from those ill-fated shores, have fallen victims to the sword, to fire, hunger, and slavery—that worst of all evils ? Who can, without feelings of indignation, without execrating the perpetrators of these horrid acts, behold a whole city, lately so flourishing, now one heap of ruins; whole villages, innumerable country seats, a prey to the flames; our celebrated school, library, hospital for the sick, hundreds of churches richly adorned—all, all one confused mass of smok ing rubbish ! Our island, lately so much frequented by Euro. peans, and more especially by English families of the first rank, will now have only her ashes to shew the passing stranger.— Nor is this, so dreadful in itself, the most dire of our calami ties. The slavery of so many respectable women, young people, and children of both sexes, sent off to different parts of Asia— the markets of this city and Smyrna filled with women and young people of the first rank, and who have received the best educa tion ! What can be more dreadful than this ? Happy, thrice happy those whom the steel of the assassin has snatched from scenes so harrowing to the feelings ; how miserable those still suffered to exist, who see the sufferings, hear the cries and piteous accents of their wives, children, and relatives, and are witnesses to the barbarotis treatment this devoted and innocent people receive from the wretches who have them in their power ! What can be laid to our charge ? We poor Sciots, who, from the beginning, have remained faithful, are re warded with death and slavery. It is well known, as soon as the Porte heard of the insurrection in the Mores, and sundry islands of the Archipelago, it sent here a Pacha, having with him about three thousand troops ; the whole of the expences of this garrison was defrayed by our island, which, in the course of about fourteen months, paid more than 2,700,000 piastres, each according to his means. Besides that, the Sultan ordered a choice to be made of sixty of the most considerable and re spectable from our. countrymen, beginning by our Arch bishop Plato, the elder, and other principal inhabitants. When the news of the invasion of the imprudent Samiotes first spread in Scio, the principal inhabitants waited on the Pacha to apprise him of it. NVhat was his answer ?—to send into the castle, as hostages, some more of these innocent men, and to transport all the provisions out of the city into the citadel, not leaving any whatever for the poor inhabitants of the city, who were so numerous. A month after, when the Samiotes landed, the Pacha sent some of the hostages, with several Turks, to pre vail on the Samiotes to evacuate the island; but they impru dently resolved to advance, and told these ministers of peace that they would sooner put them to death than do so. The Pacha then shut himself up in the castle with all the mili tary, taking with him all the hostages. It was understood that a number of the peasantry had joined the Samiotes ; they were in a manner forced to it, being apprehensive of the Samiotes themselves, and they were only armed with sticks and staves. Eleven days after, the Turkish fleet arrived at the island, and landed fifteen thousand soldiers, who, joined by the 3,000 in the castle, being unable to attack and defeat the 3,000 Samiotes, used their weapons against the inno cent and disarmed inhabitants, and turned their fury against women and children, killing, burning, and taking in slavery all the inhabitants of the place ; the men they slaughtered, the women and children they brutally treated and huddled toge ther in one of the large squares, which contained several hun dred of the most respectable families ; they have not left a stone upon a stone—all destroyed, all ruined !It would fill volumes to record the different scenes of horror which the ruffians were guilty of—humanity shudders at it. But this universal desola tion had not yet satisfied the blood-thirsty followers of Mo hammed ; they had heaped upon their trembling and tender victims all the bitterness of their fanaticism—ninety-five men, the first of their nation, both as to character and property, omen who had always followed the paths of rectitude in their commercial transactions--whose relations were established in almost every known commercial city in the known world—men innocent of any.machination against the Turkish Government, and who could not, if even they would, have been participa tors in the rising of the island, since they had been 14 months under the grasp of the Turkish satrap. Ten of these were at Constantinople, the remainder at Scio. Lord Strangford made strenuous efforts to save them—neglected no remonstrance— evinced the greatest ardour in the cause of suffering innocence, and thought he had succeeded in sheltering them from their impending fate, having obtained a promise from the Porte that no harm should be done them, when it suddenly gave orders for their execution. The ten in Constantinople were beheaded, and the 83 in Scio were hung outside the castle, in that very square where so many of the slaves were placed, in sight of the Turkish fleet, who had their decks covered with Greek slaves. Oh ! how the heart sickens at such refinement of cruelty, and turns with horror from that malice that could take delight in deriding the mental agony of the innocent sufferers in this tragic scene. What a number of wives were forced to be spectators of the cruel death of the husbands of their affections —to see at the same time their suckling babes, torn from their breasts, thus bereft at once of their support and their hopes ! Many driven to despair by this bar barous usage threw themselves into the sea, others stabbed them. selves to prevent the loss of honour, to them worse than death, to which they were every moment exposed from the barbarians ; but, alas ! let us draw a,,veil upon those who have thus sunk untimely into the grave ; let us not harrow up your souls with the recital of their atrocities ; their sufferings are over, and their felicity, let us hope, begun !' It is now time to turn your sympathy towards the unfortunate survivors of the general wreck—to call, dear countiymen, your attention to the misera ble naked state of thousands of our Sciots, with which the markets here, at Smyrna, and Scio, are glutted. Picture to yourselves children of the tenderest age, till now nursed with the most delicate attention, driven about with only a piece of cloth round their infant limbs, without shoes or any other cover ing, having nothing to live upon but a piece of bread thrown to them by their inhuman keepers—ill treated by them—sold from one to the other, and all in this deplorable situation, exposed to be brought up in the 3lahometan religion, and lose sight of the precepts of our holy religion. We see all this ; yet, alas ! what can we do tere, reduced to three or four, who, if found out, would also be exterminated without mercy ? What we could do, we have done ; but how little among so many claimants to our charity. You, brothers, friends, and countrymen, are in the capital of England, the centre of philanthropy ; you live amongst a people always famed for their generous feelings towards the unfortunate, for their dis like to tyranny, and their support of the oppressed. Beg, pray, entreat, appeal, to their feelings, call upon them as Britons, as men, as fellow beings it is in the cause of humanity and of religion : they cannot, will not, be deaf to your prayers. They will afford us, as far as lies in their power, the means of re deeming the captive, of aiding those families that are in a state of nudity and starvation, who will soon arrive in almost every port of the Mediterranean, when they have been enabled to fly from a yoke worse than death. We rely upon your endeavours, and still more upon the high character of the nation among whom you inhabit: thousands of hands are raised towards you to claim your interference in behalf of your oppressed country men : thousands of hearts will feel grateful for your assistance. Brethren and countrymen, exert yourselves in behalf of huma nity.—With tearful eye we cordially salute you, and beg you will pray to God for our safety, " YOUR BROTHERS AND COUNTRYMEN."

LONDON, FRIDAY, JUNE 28, 1822 f The heart sickens at the dreadful recital ° the atrocities which have been perpetrated the Turks upon the miserable population ° Scio. Gracious God ! the whole of an innoc e°C and peaceful people murdered, or swept off in t° the most odious slavery !—their towns and I ll ' r' lages burned or razed to the ground,—their te ritory laid waste and desolate,—their hostag e ° g f assassinated in cold blood, in the presenc e their wives and children, and of their sufferi °s countrymen,---their women violated, torn fr O°3 their parents or their families, driven to the d e ' tested markets of their brutal ravishers, t° b e sold like beasts,—and their children exP°s naked for sale !—and yet the Christian Ve' ve i : s of Europe preserve relations of amity wi th t °0 monsters who have inflicted all these horr ors our fellow Christians !—This is indeed the fen % reproach,—the deepest and most accurse d still that has ever been affixed to the Europea n ch a racter !—The brand of Infamy is imprinted u rr i ) us for ever, for having so long tolerated the - ter° ranny whose whole history is written in chara c roi of blood. We speak of our efforts to ab ° I to the Slave Trade, as an atonement for t wrongs which we have been instrumental il l h ear for ing upon Africa.
