VIENNA, SEPTEMBER I.
OTTOMAN EMPIRE.
By the latest accounts from Co.ostantinople, of
the 10th August, it appears that news had been
received there from the Mores and Livadia, which
state that the imperial troops had succeeded in
driving the Insurgents from some districts of those
provinces, and in restoring tranquillity there. The
details are contained in the following " Extract from
a Report of Alahomed Pachs, Governor of the
Morea, to the Grand Vizier, of 231 July :
" I inform your Excellency that I arrived before
Livadia on the 234 of June, and encamped here
with my army. The Rajas had murdered the
greater pert of the Mossulmen in this province,
violated their women, and made their families
slaves. They leasisted in their rebellion, and when
they learned that troops were advincing against
theta, the Insurgents of the surrounding districts
attired with those who formed their advanced posts
in the Mores, and entrenched themselves in Li-
vadia. To prevent the desolation of the country.
and to treit them with moderation, I sent several
flags of truce to diem. who summoned them to
avoid the impending misfortune, and declared to
them, that if they would submit they might expect
security and pardon of what had passed from the
Sublime Porte.
" Without paying the slightest attention to this
generous offer, the Insurgents agreed together that
they would nut suffer themselves to be considered
as Rajas for the future, and began a fire of cannon
and musketry from the fort and entretichments.
" Early in the morning the army drew up in
three lines mud began the battle. Victory declared
for the Mussuluten, and the greater part of the la.
surgcnta were cut to pieces. Of those who remain-
ed, about 1,000 escaped into the fort, and 1,500
retreated with their arms into the houses. One or
two of those houses were set on fire to make room
for the van of the army, and, if necessary, to storm
the place. A high wind suddenly arising spread
the flames; the Insurgents who had fled into the
houses were the victims, and almost the half of the
large and handsome buildings was consumed, and
it was with difficulty that those lying era the top of
the mountain were saved. As the fire caught the
house in which I myself was, I was obliged to re-
move to another.
" On the day of my arrival before Livadia, is cer-
tain Captain thistle° had left the city and collected
a band of rebels, a mile and a halt off. It was
therefore necessary to take measu,es from hinder-
iog them from coining to the aid of the laaargents
shut up in the fort. For this purpose I caused
the tillage to be attacked with 2,000 men. The
t oemy was entirely defeated, 150 dead and as many
wounded remained on the field. When the enemy,
shut up in the fort, saw that there was no deliver-
ance for, them, they threw themselves in despair
from die ramparts ; some were killrd, others dread-
fully mutilated. Those that were still in the for-
tress begged for mercy fur themselves, their wives,
and children, and it was granted them.
" In this engagement there have perished in all
above 3,000 of the enemy, partly by the sword and
partly by the Armes. As the Koran says, • When
thou host gained a victory over thy enemy, thou
shalt pardou him, in order to wittily thy gratitude,'
the remainder of the insurgents could reckon on
the magnanimity and mildness of the Sublime
Porte, which was iu fact shewn tossatdi thew wbeu
the.), deduced their submission, and begged permis-
sion to return to their houses. A Bulul-Baschi
was ordered for this purpose, with a detachment of
troops to receive. theta in the castle, and to 'conduct
them back to their dwelling.. This was done iu
solemn procession, amidst the acclamations of the
conquerors, carrying before them the standaids
taken froin the rebels."
At Smyrna tranquillity is restored. Scala Noma
and Alytileue, on the contrary, were the theatre of
the most sanguinary scenes. Near,Saloniclii there
is likewise a bond of insurgents, which the I'acba
of that town is ordered to thapene and destroy.
The Turkish fleet lately seen off SIMMS, is said
to have gone to Rhodes to join the squadron fined
