ZANTR, APRIL 16.

The system of uentrality which has been pro-
claimed in the lonian tales goes directly to the con-
tiscatton of the property of all the lonian Nobles
suspected of being favourable to the cause of the
Greeks, who are combating for their independence.
Several of these Nobles, known by their fortune
and their principle', have been obliged to expatriate
themselves, and seek for safety in the Insurgent
lairds. Amongst them are the Count Meats, a
nch proprietor, M. A nzii lacato, known for his wealth
and she honourable employment of his fortune, and
the venerable Archbishop of Cephalonia, Typeldo,
known for his piety and Ili* learning.

GERMAN PAPERS,

CONSTANTINOPLE, APRIL 25.

The enterprise of the Greeks against the island
of Scio has come to a melancholy conclusion,
sooner than we, expected. The authors of it have
received their merited recompense; the misfortune
is. that is population of above 100,000 souls, who
would never have revolted of their own accord
against a Government by which they were treated
with special favour, has been led by them to ruin ;
and en iiland distinguished beyond all these in the
Egesta Sea by cultivation, industry, and riches, is
given up to misery and desolation. Though we
have no details, and the Government has published
nothing respecting the expedition, there seems no
doubt of the fact that the Captain Poch& has, in a
few days, totally defeated the Greeks (chiefly Su-
miens), who had landed on Scio, and reduced the
inhabitants to submission. According to the ac-
counts we have received, he conveyed to Scio the
troops assembled at Tscheeme, jest at the time
that the insurgents were on the point of storming
the citadel. As soon as the Captains of the shill*
of Ipsara and Hydra. which had conveyed the
troops to the insurgents, perceived the Turkish
fleet, they cot their cables, left their anchors be-
hind, sold fled precipitately. It is said that seven
of these ships fell into the hands of the Turks.
After the Captain Perlis had lauded his troops, he
first tried means of conciliation; he sent several
flags of truce, partly to the officers of the Greeks,
and partly to the magistrates of the districts; cries
of 1, Rebellion !" accompanied by cannon shots,
were the only answer he received. A murder-
ous conflict began. The insurgents were driven
from one strong position, from one battery to an-
other, rod were pursued with unabated fury into
the streets of the town. The massacre is not to be
described : the loss of the Turks, in killed and
severely wounded, is stated at 5,000 men; hence
we may infer bow great the loss of the vanquished
most have been. The Catholic inhabitants of the
island, who here, as well as in the other revolted
islands. had taken no pert in the insurrection, were
protected, partly by the Governor, Vehid ['ache,
and partly by the foreign Consuls, who did not
experience any insult whatever.

We look forward with real apprehension to the
further accounts of these events. It may be easily
calculated what bad consequences it will have for
Sotyrsio,Scala Noose, Samos, &c. But even in it-
self the catastrophe of Scio is one of the most la-
mentable and fatal. and will besides be followed
by the ruin of a great number of French, Italian,
German. end English merchants at Constantioople
and Smyrna, whe had very extensive mercantile
connexions with the Schnee.

TUESDAY, MAT 28, 1822.

The mania for visiting the Cootitseot
.has heen
always • source of jealousy among the people of
England, who are either nailed to their counters
by their business, or by other circumstances unfit.
voureble to migration, left prisoners at home. The
present distress of the country has given incres•ed
poignancy to the feelings excited by this stmte of
society. It has been noticed in Parliament as
an evil grown to a height requiring legislative
interpositioo, and badly demanding a tax open
absentees; and from the Parliament it has foetid
its way into pamphlets in set and formal phrase
upon the subject. Absentees most be of 11l Cte•
sity regarded with an envious eye by their coun-
trymen. whom they have abandoned to the pre.
lure of taxes, in which they should sustain equal
share. and left to bear the brunt of the battle,
of the benefit of which those who thus abstract
themselves from any putt of the burden enjoy the
fruits. Any restraint upon our intercourse with the
Continent, under any circumstances, is evidently
inconsistent with a liberal policy. That the inter•
course may work some partial evil is admitted, bat
it is not equally plain that the evil is not more
than counterbalanced by various consequent *dean-
tars. It is impossible to draw a line between the
man who visits the Continent for health, business.
and improvement, and him who is only flying from
the payment of times. The attempt would be IPS
vain as it would be imprudent : it would produce
an unfriendly feeling towards &gilled in every
country in Europe; it would also work a great
injury to ourselves. It is monstrous vanity to
suppose that Englishmen who go to the Continent,
return deteriorated by its manners. The position
modestly supposes that ea Englishman, in whatever
part of the island he may have been born and edu-
cated, of necessity a model of perfection, iocspa-
ble of improvement by any acquaintance with fo.
reign rations. '%'e prefaced these observations by
stating that the subject has found its way into the
pamphlets of the day. The following is en extract
from one of these publications, entitled "A Letter
to a Legislator:"—
•r It has been the policy of England at various
periods to pass restrictive laws, abrogating the li-
berty of person, or materially altering some acknovr.
ledged feature in individual right, when and es
often as the public weal lies been endangered by
the exercise of it. I shall not occupy your time by
• recital of the several statutes which support this
assiertion ; one or other of them is in daily reclaim.

more sure of reward than in this, or dispersing large
assemblies, or suspending, for the protection sf Oar

discrepance of political .situation has introduced,
modified, and made necessary, laws of this nature ;
they are submitted to by the public. in the same
spirit that moved their crentiou; for, as precau-
tionary legislation is the humanest slid wisest effort
of the intellect, so the respectable classes of society.
eleirly apprehending how that the temporary dimi-
nishment of their privileges eventually produces a
henefit, yielded unshaken allegiance, gratitude.
:old respect, to the devisers and supporters of such
measures.
•• By comparing the present facilities for removing
on, persona and properties into foreign countries,
aioi those of any former age. it will appear, that
fire legislating for a country so singularly si-
tuated, as to admit of no parallel. Lights shine on
you in records of the most extraordinary talent, and
yet the manifest advantages of experience, do not
teach you Tsai to meet the exigencies of a state,
which, Menlo, with peace and plenty too, presents
the extraordinary anomaly of want and its dire at.
tendants.
" Such inducements for Englishmen to avail
themselves of the facilities offered for the removal
of their persons and properties into foreign coun-
tries, never were before held out. Let us contem-
plate the known consequences of this migration.
by reviewing the condition and classes of persons
who are found availing themselves of it ; we shall
then be prepared for inquiring how fa► it would be
inconsistent with our notions of liberty, to place
this removal of person and property under the di.
rectioo of new statutory provisions.

" It is en axiom of some persons, that when a
man withdraw, himself from the state protec-
tion, it is not fair or reasonable to expect him to
contribute towards those taxes raised for state exi-
gencies. To give efficacy and truth to this axiom,
however, 1 take it to be necessary, that an entire
disenion, us well of interest se of person, should
hare taken placer or else a ruinous inequality is in-
troduced, in the easy evasion of assessed taxes by
those persons most able to bear state impositions.
" We are beginning to understand the sup,.
riority of a tax on property, over almost every other
system. It is decidedly the only method of coma
pelting the absentee to contribute towards his coun-
try's burdens. 11'hen it is remembered that thou-
sands of opulent subjects of these realms are bask.
ing in exotic luxuries, without paying a single
shilling into the treasury of their mother country ;
may trot a want of reaction, by the mutual ex-
change of money and commodity, produce a fatal
stagnation ?
" If the absentee were called on to contribute
towards the liquidation of • debt, by the contract-
ing of which he had not derived en equal benefit
with the actual inhabitants of our island; if he were
not represented in the Commune House of Parlia-
ment, upon the same footing as we the residents
are ; if the public credit and pruner'', had not been
involved, to protect his home and our home, against
his foe nod our foe ; if one could not look retro..
spectively at the existing national load, then indeed
would it be unjust to require the assistance of sub-
jects, who, sharing no present protection, ought
not to be expected to participate in paying the ne-
cessary expenditure for securing it to others. On
this point, it tan hardly be necessary to enlarge ;
fersurely no one can so coufound the difference be-
tween right and wrong, as to maintain the injustice
of bringing into charge the property of übsentees,
merely because they are so ; when at the same time
it must he apparent, that whether absent or pre-
sent, all chooses had an equal interest in the war,
which trawl our national character and debt alto-
gether. Where then is the reasonableness of ex.
emptieg altogether from taxation throe who, being
poseeosed of property, screen it by expatriation or
otherwi.e, leeettig those who have not the 'dean-
huge of independence or fortune, to suotiliu the
whole »tight ?
" By lasing the property of the absentee he
will at least feel an interest in the welfare of his
cowry ; and although. with my Lord Byron, he
may tersore n revolution front the acts of the
governnient, by his pecuniary contribution. lie will
do more to overt it than the being born an aristo-
crat, or poaseesierg property in its funds.
Ever since the peace a residence on the Con-
tistat has been considered a desideratum of the
highest importance: few persons having the pemer
huee wanted the inclinatiort to visit France. Ilre
siroes were thronged with Englishmen, impelled
thither by a curiosity who h has ono hewn reiroproesl:
itrusger inriti yes followed; educators' and the ne-
vesontes of life were found cheaper. Soon her
towns were crowded by our coniserymeti, influenced
from a variety of reasons; nor has she six years

to the desire to visit or entirely reside there."

consented to to Wallachia and Moldavia; be this

at present admit of the administration of these provinces
being given t,t the Gresks; an arraogesteut lass therefore
been swede that it will he given to twelve natives of those
provinces, to be chosen from their respective Chiefs. This

The huitstooes were remarkable for their large size.
A tremendous storm of hail took place at Kensiaig-
ton, by which the destruction of property was ini-
aware, sod moat of the houses deluged from top to
bottom. The Kenaiugtou lace manufactory hod al-
most the whole of the windows broken, and it was
with difficulty the work people escaped from the
broken Klass and pieces of ice, POlllO of which were
three ioches in circumference, which were flying
about in all directions, to the destruction of a large
quantity of valuable lace; and such was the accu-
mulation of ice in the gutters of the bedding, that
it was not wholly melted till the Sunday evening.
In the garden attached some of the trees were strip-
ped us if it had been winter, and oo sweeping she
