The Turks had assassinated a considerable number of Christians of all nations. The greater part of the Greek Islands in the Archipelago are now in ° Pen insurrection. PERA, Aran 11.—Th e Dragomans pretend to know that the Austrian and English Ministers Continue their efforts to induce the Divan to accept the Russian Ultimatum, but hitherto in vain. Lord Strangford transmitted a Note on this subject on the 30th March, and the Count de Lutzow followed his example on the 6th or B th April, a ft er rece i v i ng a cour i er f rom Vi enna. Put the Porte gave no answer, nor would consent t 0 any conference, although the Notes of the mediating Ambassadors were expressed in the most pressing terms. The verbal declaration of the Reis Effendi, of the 25 . th March, that the Porte had no other answer to give than that con, ;aired in its Note of the 28th February, is there.

LEiPStC, APRIL 29.—A1l the letters from Poland and Russia, brought by the last courier, are for war. ." The ex Extract of a Letter from Smyrna, dated April s.—' eelses daily committed by the Turks against the Greeks on va_ ri °us parts of the coast, had induced a great number of Greeks of Asia to take refuge in the Islands of Chio, Miti ieue and Samos, where the Turks being less numerous, still Preserved severe measures in their treatment of the Greeks. At Chio, for instance, the Turks contented themselves with choosing twenty-seven of the principal inhabitants of the ca pital for hostages, whom they shut up in a fort near the sea, the only place which they occupied in the island, where all t he inhabitants are Greeks. At Samos, the Greek refugees fr uro Asia united with the brave Samiots, conscious of their strength, and having found in Lycurgus a chief equally braie and prudent, had succeeded, so far back as December last, in freeing themselves from the Turkish yoke. The island of Mid lene is still kept in subjection by several fortified castles, and by a greater number of Musselman inhabitants. Several inhabi tants of Chio, equally distinguished by their wealth and supe rior education, had withdrawn as soon as they saw the Turks, at their discretion, choose hostages among the richest of their c°un trYlnen. They went to Samos, to join the free Greeks of that island. These geperous fugitives from Chio soon learnt that the Turks had massacred the 27 Greek hostages confined L'l the fort at Chio, and that they had shut themselves up in it, g iv ing out that they had punished with death only one of the 4°st ages. Confounded by the information of the new measures °the Divan, withheld also by the Greek archons, or chiefs of th e i s l and, who are highly favoured by the Turks, and by the interest of the extensive commerce which they carry on with the capital of the empire, the inhabitants of Chio did not ven ture to rise, and take vengeance for the new crime committed by the Turks almost before their eyes. But their brave coun tlllnen, who had taken refuge at Samos, equipped a small a , °t ale, provided with artillery, and manned by th ree or f our n undred Samiots, soon landed on the Isle of Clio, where they hoisted the banner of the Cross. Immediately all the inhabit ants flew to arms, and assisted in landing the artillery of the flotilla near the fort, in which the small garrison of the island //4 shut up. B a tt er i es were i mme di ate l y erecte d , trenches s about the fort, which, though near the sea, may be in ete(' by land. M en , women, an d b oys, the whole population cif tlleisland, assisted in digging the trenches. Soon the artil lerY w • th as directed against the fort, after a previous offer made to ho e Turks to l e t th em ret i re to A s i a, if t h ey cou ld produce the sta ges• But their refusal being considered by the inhabitants toa co nfirmation of the massacre o f t h e i r countrymen, not hi ng Auld equal the indignation of the besiegers, and there is reason theauPPose that none of the Turks shut up in the fort will escape b 4ii i4st vengeance of the Chiots, bec ause thi s f ort , w hi c h was t' t w hile the isla n d was i n t h e possess i on o f t h e V enetians, o ° t hold out long. It is thus, by a new act of gratuitous trio i tY, that the Turks have lost the richest, the most indus s,tutla, and best governed island of the Archipelago. This loss of be felt at Constantinople, which drew from Chio all kinds aeriL t . i cies for clothing and ornament, the workmen of all de thi;;l°ns in this island being considered as the first in Turkey.

The Earl of LIVERPOOL, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, the GOVERNOR and DEPUTY GOVERNOR of the Bank, and Mr. HAuuisoN, were waiting, at the Official House, in Downing street, ready to attend upon any Bidders for the Annuities and Half-Pay Pensions, according to the appointment, at eleven o'clock this clay ; but there appearing to be no Bidders, the Meeting was postponed till to-morrow. We have received the Paris Papers of Friday and Saturday, and German Papers to the c2d inst. from which we give extracts in a preceding column. It appears by the articles from Con stantinople in these Papers, as well as by private commttnications received in this country, that the LAustrian internuncio had discontinued his attempts at mediation between the Russians and Turks, as the Divan are determined to adhere to their resolution of the 28th of February.— Several Greek merchants belonging to Scio were put under arrest at Constantinople as soon as the revolution in that island was made known. They are all of them more or less connected with Eng land by commercial operations, and we have been furnished by a correspondent with the fol lowing list of their names :-1 - lAyGr, S. PSICH4, F. FRANGIIIADI, MICH. VURO, GIRO GALATTI, GE O.MAROLACIII,MICILMITARACIII,aIIdCONST. CIIINI. Lord STRANGFORD had, however, suc cessfully interfered to save their lives, but should the Turks be entirely expelled from Scio, fears are entertained as to their future fate. A. letter from Smyrna, among our extracts, states that the barbarous massacre by the Turks of the Greek hostages, in the Island of Scio, led to the revolt of that island, and but for this atrocious act Scio might still have remained in the possession of the Porte, as many cir cumstances rendered the inhabitants disposed to favour the Turks. The revolt of Scio has pro duced a repetition at Smyrna and other parts of Asia Minor of the dreadful murders perpetrated by the Turks at the beginning of the Greek in surrection.

We received a file of Carraccas Papers this ntorning, from which we extract the following : OPERATIONS OF THE ARMY BESIEGING PORTO CABELLO. Head-quarters, Valencia, Feb. 27, 1322. " Yesterday a force of about 200 of the enemy presented itself in the neighbourhood of Virgi slum, which was completely routed, leaving many prisoners in our hands. According to the decla ration of the prisoners, this wretched corps came confiding in the friendly disposition of the coun try, and calculated that it would not only find no difficulty in establishing itself on the heights of Virgivima, but indulged the hope of re-uniting all the bands with which the enemy supplied those in the valleys to be infested ; but they have received fresh proofs of the resolution of these inhabitants to maintain their liberty, and defend themselves against the Spaniards. " SOUBLETTE." Captain STEVENSON gives the following ad ditional information :—" Puerto Cavello was de clared in a state of blockade on the 20th Feb. A report was prevalent that the Royalists had evacuated Coro,and were on their retreat to Puerto Cavello ; there had been a skirmish of outposts near Valencia on the 26th February, in which the Royalists were defeated. On the 22d November General SUCRE, of the Royal Army, agreed upon terms of an armistice of 90 days through the province of Quito, from which circumstance it is supposed General Bor,Tv.in would not pro ceed to the capital of Quito." The House of Commons divided last night on the question for bringing up the Report of the Committee on the Agricultural Resolutions, when the numbers were, for receiving the Report, 153, against it, 22.—The division was preceded by another long debate, in the course of which Mr. JOHN SMITH drew a vivid picture of the univer sal ruin and wretchedness which must ensue upon any violation of faith with the public creditor. There is not a cottage in the country, indeed, which would not be involved in the convulsion of a national bankruptcy. The failure of the Bank of England would be immediately followed by the bankruptcy of numerous private bankers, whose failures, again, would involve those of merchants, manufacturers, shopkeepers, artisans, &c. &c.—The persons who now live upon their dividends would cease to be the customers of the productive classes. An immense portion of the middle classes would be thrown upon the market for labour, at the very moment that a great part of the demand for the products of labour had by the ruin of the middle classes ceased ; and thus a state of society, equal in wretchedness to that whic4 is now presented in Ireland, would at once be produced by the very means which some ill-judging persons think would be conducive to the public prosperity. The Irish Papers received this morning do not I contain any intelligence of much importance, except the afflicting details of the progress of famine and pestilence. That progress, thank God, will be speedily checked by the munificent relief which is pouring into Ireland by the bene volence of this country. The news of the sub scription entered into at the City of London Tavern has been received with heartfelt joy and thankfulness by the suffering population of the Sister Island; and the Editors of the different Journals express their feelings of admiration in the warmest terms. In all quarters of the dis tressed districts, it is alleged that there is an ab solute scarcity of food, as well as an utter des titution of employment and money for the starv ing peasantry.

I THE THEATRES. DRURY LANE.—Mr. KEAN took leave OC the part of Hamlet last night, and was attended by a numerous and applauding audience. We no ticed his first representation of this very diffi cult part, and have witnessed some of his succes sive performances, but though he has certainly improved in ease, and gave many passages with striking effect, yet the character requires such a combination of the higher qualities of the art in mind and person, that, in our opinion, it was never to be classed among his best efforts. Miss P. Glover was so interesting in Ophelia as to shew that she has been well tutored by maternal experience, and that she possesses such good sense as enabled her to profit by instruction. COOPER in the Ghost was, as he is on all oc casions, a very respectable and impressive repre sentative. COVENT-GARDEN.—Th e second representation of The Lau, of Java, last night, fully confirmed its hold upon public favour. We last night had an opportunity of examining more critically the dialogue, for the Krst representation of a new piece chiefly appeals to the feelings, which hurry the mind into sympathy, and leave no room for the due operation of judgment.—The dialogue, whether sprightly or energetic, testifies the undecayed powers of the author. The spirit and humour of the comic characters rank wits► some of the best productions of his Muse, and the graver scenes are marked by the vigour which charac terizes The Battle of Hexham, The Surrender of Calais, and The Mountaineers. The scene between Parbaya and Orzinga contains such sound, moral and religious exhortations against suicide, expressed with such impressive brevity, as jus tilies our conviction that Mr. COLMAN can' rival himself in the best of his former works. —The fable which he has raised upon the fabulous story of the dreadful power of the Upas tree, and the art with which he has ex panded it into dramatic action, fully evince his admirable ingenuity, and prove that his in vention and judgment go hand in hand, and exist in unabated fertility and strength. The house was crowded to excess last night ; the performers exerted themselves with such effect, and the piece was received throughout with such applause, as promises increasing and zealous popularity. ENGLISH OrErtA. HousE.—To the disappoint ment and regret of a vast number of people, Mr. MATHEWS was too much indisposed to be at 'wine last night at this Theatre. A printed notification of this circumstance was posted in various parts of the town, belt did not prevent a great crowd of visitors, who returned with evi dent marks of chagrin and vexation. Yesterday the Adjourned Meeting of the Pro prietors of South Sea Stock resolved that the Go vernor and Deputy Governor of the Company should be authorized to treat and contract with Government for the payment of the Pension, Superannuation, and Half-pay List. It was further resolved, that an additional capital of 3,600,0001. should be raised for this purpose. As the new Stuck to be thus created will let in the public, there can be little fear that this immense transaction will be completed by the Company. The meeting with the L or d s o f the Treasury was appointed for to-day ; but it is un derstood that the deputation from the South Sea Company Will not he prepared to wait upon their Lordships till to-morrow. CITY, MONDAY EVENING. Letters have been received from Constantinople, of the 10th and 11th April, which state that the Austrian Internuncio had discontinued his attempts at negotiation betwixt the Russian and Turkish Governments ; the latter adhering to their re solution of the 28th February last. War was consequently con sidered as the unavoidable result. Several Greek Gentlemen, belonging to Scio, were put under arrest, as soon as the Revo lution in that Island was made known. Lord STRANGFORD had successfully, in the mean time, interfered to save their lives; but their friends are naturally filled with apprehen sion for their future fate. The Turkish fleet, consisting of five line of battle ships and many small vessels, under the command of the CAPITAN PACHA, sailed from Con stantinople on the sth of April, with troops on board for the Dardanelles. It was reported that the Island Metillino had also revolted against their Turkish oppressors. From Smyrna advices have come to hand, through France, dated the 9th of April. From fifteen to twenty Greeks were daily murdered ; and on that day no less than forty of these unfortunate men had fallen victims to popular frenzy. All the shops continued closed, and no business was transacted.—From Bourdeaux, a letter dated the 3d instant advises the arrival of a vessel of war from ililartinico ' with an account th a t a F renc h mercant il e establishment had failed there to an immense amount. An English house had also failed for two millions of francs.-_A let ter from. Hamburgli states a report, that the second division of the Russian army had been put in motion for the Pruth, and that the third division soon expected the same rout. All the ac counts from the continent, indeed, favour the idea that hostilities will soon be commenced. The exchange at Hamburgh on London was 365. 5Ad., and discount of money 23 per cent. —. Trade continued dull.—At Saint Petersburgh, on the 19th April, the exchange was 9 19 32 a 9-16.- The previous post quoted it at 9 25 32 a 9 13-16. About 4000 casks of tallow had been bought on time for British account, at 120 r. which will stand nearly 421. a ton in England. Very littl e b us i ness h as t h is d ay been done in the public funds. Consols for the next account opened at 73 g, and remained without the least variation du ring the day. The South Sea Company having resolved to make an offer for the new Loan, principally with a view to have the management of it, their stock has this day risen about 5 per cent. They reckon their profit for mangement at 21,0001. per annum. The public, unconnected with the Company, are to be permit ted the favour of subscribing one million towards it, should they feel so inclined.—Very few transactions can be effected in foreign securities. The French rentes are nominal at 88. Prussian Fives 861. Columbian. Old Bonds 101. New Sixes 85 854. and the Scrip 86. Spanish Old Bonds 62g. and the New 63 62k. Da nish continue at 85. Neapolitan Fives are rather dearer, having again been done at 69. The Russian Sixes are 82, and the Fives Metallic 763. No business has been done in Austrian Securities. —Very little business has been done this day in grain. Wheat and Oats do not undergo any alteration in their value, but Barley is fully Is. cheaper. The new Corn Bill will not in the smallest degree vary the present state of the Corn Trade, unless permis sion be given to turn bonded wheat into flour. With proper precaution none of this flour can be introduced for home con sumption. The pollard must of course remain in the coun try; but this article is at present so abundant, that a deal of it is used for manure only, and therefore the small quantity that would come from Dantzig wheat, (for only the finest wheat can be ground down for a warm climate) could not be of any consequence. Sometime ago Government contracted for a quantity of flour made from British wheat for the West India Islands. It is generally reported in the City that this flour has arrived out in very bad condition, and that considerable distress has been occasioned by this cir cumstance in the different Islands. The landholders need not fear merchants substituting British for Dantzig wheat, should they be permitted to grind the latter. No wheat of British growth can be converted into flour without high kiln-drying for a warm climate. American and Dantzig may with safety. American flour is at present worth 30s. to 325. a barrel of 1961 b. for exportation. It appears unjust that the proprietor of Dantzig wheat should be deprived of the benefitof this demand.—( Morning Chronicle.) The Duke of YORK transacted military business with the KING yesterday. • ARGYLE-Rooms.—The PhilharmOnic Concert, which is supported by the very best instrumental band in the metropolis, had last night the capti vating addition of Madame RoNzr DI BEGNIS to its vocal corps, for the first time.—After succession of several beautiful pieces, chiefly instrumental, she sung a fine aria of Mo zART, and took part in a duo, the tes tate of PUCITTA, and in both received and de served great applause. Another very gratify ing traat was an air sung by CAMPORESE, and ad mirably accompanied on the clarionet by WILL MAN. But we cannot particularize, and can only add that the whole was appropriate to the high character of the Concert, and was obviously a rich feast for the audience. • FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS The Earl and Countess of Sherborne, in Lower Grosvenor street ; Mr. and Lady Anne Culling Smith, Miss Elizabeth Smith, and Miss Fitzroy, in Upper Brook-street ; Lady Louisa Call and Lady Elizabeth Forbes, in Old Bond-street ; Mar ' chioness of Exeter, in Privy gardens ; Hon.

GLORIOUS NEWS.-England, swelled with the spoils of the world, and ruling over every sea and over every colony, has, from causes unex plained, determined to abrogate her Navigation Laws and Colonial Policy. This she has been induced to do from a spontaneous and liberal feeling towards foreigners. One reason assigned is, that the British shipping and seamen are be come too numerous, and should be reduced, so as to admit a fair and full reciprocity from all parts of the world to all parts of the world ; that is, a perfect freedom of trade to those nations which have no colonies of their own, as Britain has too many. But should this experimental liberal feeling be carried too far, the Philosophical Genius that presides over trade has it in contempla tion to resuscitate her Nautical Power by a secret and infallible process never before practised in any country. They are perfectly aware that the Hollanders and the Americans, and others, may rise by this new experiment in Commercial and Naval Power,—and that another Master VAN TRUMP may broom the British ships from the seas. But this will only shew the clearer the wonderful faculty of resuscitation possessed by the first Philosophical Genius of the age, who will undertake to prove to the world that by a natural process the Trident of Neptune would in a few centuries be restored into the hands of Britannia. 10th May, 1822, Hole-in-the-Wall, Sly Corner.

Yesterday the GOVERNOR and DEPUTY Go vernor of the Bank of England had an interview wi.h Earl LIVERPOOL and the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. We are happy to see Mr. OWEN has advertised a Public Meeting at the City of London Tavern for To-morrow, and we hope that a sufficient number of benevolent individuals will be found to set his excellent Plans in motion. As the object is stated to be the PERMANENT RELIEF of the DISTRESSED CLASSES of IRELAND, as well as Of GREAT BRITAIN, it will of course not inter fere with the TEMPORARY RELIEF which has been so promptly and so benevolently afforded,
