The following is an extract from a letter which we hare
re,eived from an officer at Sinynta :

SMYRNA♦ MAY I.

TFe Rose trailed to-day, with a merchant vessel under convoy,
It : Cerigo. Not a vessel of any natien can leave this port:without
convoy. in consegnence of the numerous depredations committed
by the Greek pirees. An English tress.), a few days since, was
plundered, and every percn on board robbed of his property. Our
only* have now orders to detain and send into Hydra, or some
outer Greek port, any vessel that may be found cruising atone.
These are not less than eighteen ships of war lying here—Fiend),
Austrian, Dutch, and English, to protect their merchant trade.—
Captain Hamilton is goer, in the Cambrian, to investigate the
~arses of piracy. The Gannet is appointed convoy to Alexandria
st-d back ; the Seringspatarri is gene to Malta, with thirty Greek
rates on board ; the Sybille and Brisk are expected here from
spies and Tunis.
The Turks are about to make an attack on the Island of-Syra,
which baring hitherto be, n neutral. has become a place of wealth ;
it is otherwise of no importance. The Turks assign, as a reason for
snacking it, that the merchants have been obliged to pay a large
auto et money to the Greeks, and to receive a party of Greek sol-
diers, whereby their neutrality has been broken. The Turks, no
doubt. have a wrong &sirs to draw in few pares front them. The
Greek Admiral Miaulis has done nothing lately ; he complains of
Um matt of money. and, without it, he my', the cause will yet be
lost,

The English frigate Naiad arrived ItereMVllle24lth. Captain
Spencer. who command* it. set out the next day lor Vienna,
where, it seems. he is expected. According to the accounts brought
by the lam packet from Corfu, Colonel Gordon had arrived at
Napoli di Romania, with three vessels laden with provisinns, and
a large auto of money, which was to be placed at the disposal of CM.
Fribvier, to pay the regular troops, and enable him to renrgaeire
the corps which he commanda. Colonel Fabviq had returned to
Napoli, after his expedition to Caristo, and was to act out -gain
for Athens. Commodore Hamilton has protested against the de
cisions of the Prize Court at Napoli, passing sentence of condem-
nation un reeveral Austrian events.
It is asserted that Coital, Xeno, and Papadotspriolo, have been

It is affirmed that Generaloche has been recalled by the

We have received Frankfort Papers to the 10th of July,
but their contents are tucrcly repetitions of the accounts
from Greece.

The Ausb itrzObserver, receivel on Saturaay, contains the
new regulations respecting the Janissaries, which appeared
in the British Press of that morning. The vast import-
ance of the revolution in Constantinople seems to be rather
more justly appreciated by that Journal than by out con-
temporary of the Times. We subjoin the introductory
remarks :

CO:tiTANTIROPLE, .11/NE 10,
At length, after many years' preparation, the new organization of
the troops, to be formed on the European system, has been resolved
upon in Council. After this important .end extratardinari men-
sure, which at present does not infringe the privileges of the Janis.
SlriCi, had been published in a Haiti Seheriff of the Sultan, it
wa. sanctioned by the Mufti in a Fativa, in which he declares, that
the proposed new organization was, in fact, originally Introduced ;
into the Turkish army under the mime of sae ',tens (standing
'roils), before the Ilsrmation of theJanissarics, and, therefore, was
not at variance with the religion of the Prophet, or the laws of the
empire. All theadveritaries of this great measure had been long
since removed from public office; and the late events of the
Mores have pined over to it many of the great men of the empire,
who had been hitherto irresolute. The Aga Paella of the Janis-
saries and the Grand Vizier are considered as the most zealous pro-
moters of this vast undertaking • it may, however, be coraidered
as certain, that licit' Effendi Said Effendi is the soul of the husi-
nem He has been preparing it for year., and the Agent of the
Viceroy of Egypt,, Nebschid Effendi, who is just returned, has
designed for hi. service, in the exercising the troops, the Gallo-
Egyptian officers now with Ibrahim Puchn in the Mores. The
Hatti Scheid"' of the Sultan is dated the 28th of May, and con-
tain% in the preamble, besides the above-mentioned arguments of
the Mufti, a reference to the successes of the disciplined Egyptians.
It orders the ortas of the Janissaries in Constantinople to enrol
themselves in the new troops. Every Pacha of three tills must
organize 10,000 men, and every Pachn of two tails 7,000, in his
province. The officers shall receive higher pay, and the privates
30 pants per diem, b, sides bread and rice, and be quartered in bar-
racks of thvir own.

Thus a measure's commenced.which will either shake the empire
to its foundarion, or give the Porte, on a moderate estimation, at
least 3110,000 soldiers. Whatever may be the result, the conse-
quences are, in more points of view titan one, incalculable. Some
European Powers arc said to have long wished for these measures.
The plan of the Sultan. which has been long preparing and nut.
taring in secret, for the new organization of the Janissaries, and the
introduction of regular troops.ia now going to be carried into effect.
After severel'mectings of the Council of the Empire, in presence
of the principal Officers and Commanders of Corps, in which the
steps necessary to execute the plan were discussed, a °rand Coun-
cil was held at the end of bat month in the residence of the Mufti,
at which the General Staff of the Janissaries, and eli the Chiefs and
Commanders of the several division+ of the troops, were prncnt.
In this meeting the Ilatti.S.lieriff, on the new organization of
the troops of the Empire. was read, and signed and sealed by all the
persons present, as a testimony of their entire approbation.

We have received American Papers to the 23d ult., but
their contents do not furnish us with sa►y additional infor-
mation from Colombia. Tranquillity is said to have been
re-establishe,l, and the people appear to be inclined at
present to acquiesce in the new order of things. The sub-
joined extracts from the American Papers will show that
Mexico is not exempt from the internal discussions which
have manifested themselves in other American States :
M x co.—The Emma has brought us later numbers of the new
Vera Cruz Paper to the 26th ult. The news from the State of
Yucatan is to May 14. A letter front Campeachy says, that the
Governor and Congress have determined to remove to that city, in
consequence of the disorderly situation of Merida. where party
spirit had been carried so far that a printer had been wounded in
the face and had an ear cut WE tiknersl Dustamente, it is said, has
been appointed Commandant of the State. Yucatan, thus unhap-
pily exposed to Internal dissensions, is one of the most fertile pro-
vinces of the Mexican federation ; but such, according to a letter
(tom Campeachy, is the spirit of the inhabitants, Olt if the Spa.
niards were to attempt to take advantge of their divi:ms, all would
instantly unite to Oppose them.
We have received, says the Notional Gazette, a file of the Mex.
ken Paper, El Sol, clown to the 14th ult. No events of consequence
had occurred in the Mexican Union. El 5,,1 contains a translation,
with notes, of President Adams' Message to the House of Repre-
sentatives, concerning the Congress of Panama. In relation to that
Coogress, we remark the following transaction in the Mexican
Cl.amber of Deputies, on the 16th April.
Sr. Gonzales Angulo, said—l have the honour to inform the
house, on the part of Mr. Poinsctt, Minister of the United States
of the North, that despatches from his Government reached him
I .6; night, containing information that, conformably to a resolution
of the Congress of those States, deputies had been appointed to the
Congr..tss of Panama. This intelligence appears to me worthy the
attrition of the Chamber, because it is now seen by an incontrover-
tible fact that the United States are our natural friends, and that the
American confederation being strengthened by the concurrence and
inn rest of so powerful and rt spectahle a people, the attempts which
in-potent St sin, or the ambitious league of Eiiropean despots,
may make to reouce us to the Spanish yoke, are rendered more im-
possible.
The President, or Speaker, of the Chamber directed that the
matter should be entered in the journal of the Chamber, with the
addition that it had been heard with Plltis4lCtlon.

The worthy Sr. Angulo committed, however, a mistake in com-
municating the inteltigt nee as from the American Minister to the
Chamber. He happened to call on Mr. Poinsett, just as the latter
had opened the papers announcing the decision of our Senate in
favour of the Panama Mission. Alr. P. 'elated the event to him,
observing at the same time that it might be mentioned to the friends
of this country, in the Chamber, to whom it would atfinid pleasure.
No pubic or formal communication was intended; but what
occurred is pet lantly noticed in the Suit, a print unfriendly to the
Minister and the United Slates.

Oit the 27th of April a debate took place in the Chamber. touch-
ing the amount of salary to be voted for the Mexican Legation to
Panama. The executive branch of the Government wished 10.000
dollar, to be appropriated for each of the Envoys. A Committee
of the Chamber reported thq. WOO would suffice. It was decided
by the Chamber that the farther sum should be allowed, with 4000
for the Secretary of the Legation, and MO to the clerks or scribes.
Some of the considerations urged by the Secretary of Pottign
fans may be noted. He remarked, that if the Mexican Minister
at Washington received but IMO dollars per annum, there was no
analogy between Washington and Panama, because the latter was
so dear a ea.untry that a man could scarcely maintain himself pro-
perly wish seven dollars a day, all provisions being very high ; and
moreover, it was a country very subject to epidemic disease, and
consequently a man who in a stale of health might exactly limit
his expenses, becoming sick could not regulate them at all, because
his cure must occasion various charges- Lee our Commissioners
brace their nerves and fill their purses.

ILI another part of our Paper of tbisday, a series of Re-
solutions will be observed, which had been passed by the
Senate of Mex;co, and sent to the Chamber of Deputies,
in the confident expectation of their passing that portion
of the Mexican Legislature without the slightest difficulty.
The object of these resolutions recurs obviously to be con-
nected with the. suppcsed object of the French Commis-
sioner sent by La Njniphe, and they farther corroborate
the statements which we have published on the subject.
The Congress has likewise passed a Decree abolishing for
ever all titles of Nobility, such as Count, Marquis, &c.,
and ordering that all persons shall be considered as equals
by nattre, whatever may he their origin.
We have also inserted in another part of our Paper, the
latest accounts which have reached us respectirg the dis-
