-• The entire dispersion of the Greek insurgents in
Wallachia, and the entrance of the Turkish troops
into Jimmy, have rather abated the fury of the Mus-
eelmeo. The Government constantly exerts itself
to maintaia order, and to protect the Franks : it.
appeart.(a be now able to attain its object. Se-
veral markets are again open to-day, and we hope
thut things will continue to go on better. A
powerful fleet is fitting out against the Greeks in
the Archipelago, who will probably be alarmed by
the news from Wallachia. If the differeuces with

Russia should be arranged, as we hope, trade will
soon revive.
The Greek Patriarch lately murdered at Con-
stantinople was three times elevated to that dignity
and twice deposed. The first time was because he
had saved the Christians front the fury of the Turks,
who wonted to make the Greeks responsible for the
French invasion of Egypt : lie was then banished
to Mount Athos. He was restored to his dignity
some time afterwards, and again deposed and ba-
nished during the war with Russia, and when an
English fleet appeared before Constantinople. His
unhappy fate, after hie third elevation, is well
known. In private life he is said to have been.
modest, affable, and of strict integrity.
ITHACA, JULY 4.
Poblic Journals contain the, following statements,
which, however, are not authenticated
:
The solemn declaration of neutrality by the Se-
nate of the lonian Islands was vain. The Turks
received from the beginning much assistance from
the English Consols and ships, without which they
could net maintain themselves so long in the for-
tresses of the Mores. When the Greeks rose on
the 4th of April in Pau-torso, the Turks set fire to
two quarters of the town, and then retreated into
Abe citadel. The neat day the Greeks came down
from the mountains of Kalawita, and joined the
country people to besiege the citadel. The Turks,
by the tarsus of the English and by the packet-
boat the Clifton. sent word of their distressed si-
tuation to the ruche commanding before Joana,
and the Captain Poch■ of Pervena ; and received
answers by the means of the same packet through
Thomas Berthold, the Interpreter to the Consulate.
The result was, that in the night of the 14th April
jib Turkish cavalry were lauded near Pausal's,
and the besieged, thus reinforced, made a sally
from the citadel. As a Turkish brig came up at
the same time, and fired on the town, anti the
English gave oat that 8.000 Turks had arrived,
the Greeks lost their courage and retreated to their
mountains. The Turks then fell upon the town,
obese they burnt, plundered, and murdered at dis-
cretion. While the English Consul, Jacob Philip
Green, remained inactive, M. H. Pouqueville, the
French Consul. afforded assistance of every kind,
and was very serviceable to the Greeks. Ile re-
ceived into his house, and saved a great many per-
booll of every ■ge and sex, at the risk of his

Five Turkish ships were blockaded, as is well
kaolin, by the Greeks to the Bay of Lepante, and
were on the point of surrendering, when an Eng.
heti squadron appeared, consisting of two frigates,
two brigs, and a corvette. The Greeks immedi-

Important dispatches have arrived at Vienna from
St. Petersburgh. Baron Lebzeltern does not ap.
pear to have arrived as yet at St. Peteraburgb, where
his presence is requisite, (ruin the turn which
affairs are taking in the East of Europe. Imme-
diately afte► the arrival of the dispatches, a Council
was held, and Prince Nletternicli went to his Ma-
jesty at Schoubrtn►n. Au important declaration is
said to have been made by Ru►eis to the great
Powers on the subject of her relations with Turkey,
and of the preparations for war ordered by the
Emperor Alexander. Tlx intelligence spread with
incredible sapidity at 'Vienna, it even appea►ed the
Government was desirous that asereliants should be
informed of it, that they might not make erroneous
speculations. That was the more necessary, as
previously intelligence in some degree of an official
nature had been circulated that Russia would not in-
! ter fere with the concerns of Greece, and that no war
, would take place. Since the arrival of the last di.-
' p.tclies, war is considered as inevitable, siuce there
is a question of satisfaction for personal insult. It is
' thought our Government will immediately give such
orders with regard t• military affairs as the present
circumstances appear to require. Several couriers
have set out with
.dispatches fur different Course.
Count Golowkin, the Russian Ambassador at the
Court of Vienna, it is bold, has also received intelli-
gence of a very important nature.

Russia was so anxious to prove that if she took
part iu the war of the Greeks owners. the Turks,
she was drawn into it against her will ; that hitherto
she has closed her ears against the voice, not only
of the Russian people, but it may even be said of
all Christendom ; and that she has incurred the
censure of some persons by the slowness of her
decision. •
Letters lately received from Vienna, leave It
no longer doubtful, that it is impossible the
Cabinet of St. Petersburgh should continue the
system of neutrality it has hitherto observed. We
are in daily expectation of hearing of the much of
the Russian army.

LONDON,
TUESDAY, AUGUST Si, ISM

The Paris Papers of Friday last remove very
little of the doubt that has so long prevailed re-
specting the probability of a war between Russia
and Turkey ; h however seems to be the better
option that the Cabinet of Saint Petersburgh has
resolved to submit its quarrel with the Porte, its
demands of compensation for commercial injuries.
and its claims 6f satisfaction for insult, personally
offered to the representative of the EMPEROR, to
the several Powers of Europe, and to act with re-
gard to the affairs of Turkey in unison with them.
The delay that has already occurred justifies this
opinion, for if the Emperor ALRIANDER Were
merely waiting for some plausible pretence for in-
terfering in the concerns of Turkey, he would have
hastened his army over the frontiers on receiving
the first intimation from Baron Sraosoeorr of
the indignities to which his Excellency had been
exposed in Constantinople, and it is certain that
had he so acted he might very easily have justified
his conduct upon every principle of national law.
There is no injury more serious than so insult wan-
tonly offered to the representative of • Sovereign ;
if suffered to pass unnoticed it operates to the hu-
miliation of the Sovereign and his country, and
seem, to offer a ready inducement for the repetition
of such an outrage; it establishes a precedent, the
effects of which moot be confined to the party
immediately suffering, but must eventually be ex-
perienced by all other States, especially those whose
power way not be equal to the resenting of such
injuries. The circumstance, therefore, becomes
one in which all Powers are interested, arid it is
moreover a point which, like" the point of honour"
in private persona, relines so individually and ex-
clusively to the party immediately affected, that he
might very well protest against any interference on
the part of others in the arrangement of his per-
sons) quarrel. That the Emperor of RUSSIA
therefore should submit his dispute with the Sultan
to other Cabinet., not only argues extreme mo-
deration upon his part, and the absence of all am-
bitions motives, but very satisfactorily disproves the
charges that had been loudly urged sgainst him, of Iris
having excited by indirect means the insurrection
of the Christians in the provinces of Turkey, that
he might take advantage of them for the puiposes
of territorial aggrandizement. It is said in a conti-
nental Payer that Europe in general complains of
the slowness of the Russian Cabinet; it ought to
have been that the spirit of civilisation mourns
over the continued existence of • Power in the
finest portion of Europe, which sets as a barrier
against the progress of intellectual and moral
improvement, and reflects a disgrace even upon
those countries where the superior cultivation of
the understanding vhews by the force of contrast
the humiliating effects of its iiifluence. We fear
very much that all the good feelings of our nature
will have to mourn for many years to come the con-
tinuance of this moral nuisance ; the Powers
of Europe will never be able to agree upon
the best and safest mode of abating ir. The
power of Turkey will continue to exist for some
years longer in the sufferance of other nations,
but it at length nru.t either sink before the
vigorous attack of some foreign assailant, or what is
perhaps more probable, will crumble to pieces from
the repeated shocks of internal convulsions.
it would seem from an article of intelligence in
one of the Paris Papers, that an attempt as silly as
it was criminal was made in Madrid, by the explo-
sion of gunpowder, to alarm the King of SPAIN
as he was making his public entrance into his capi-
tal, on returning from the baths of Sacedou. We
have celled the attempt criminal, in the presump-
tion that it was effected by some persons ill-dispos-
ed to the Ktaces welfare; but it must be admit.
ted that the affair bears something of a ludicrous
character. An explosion of gunpowder was heard
as if from a neighbouring convent, but no ac-
cideut happeGed, nor does it appear that the
explosion was sufficiently near to the KING, or to
his attendants, to effect any injury to him or to
the persons in his suite. Indeed it is almost a
gratuitous assumption, so far as the evidence now
extends, to consider the circumstance as having
been directed at all against the KING ; and no
danger appearing. one is astonished to read of " the
great alarm" that was felt by the crowd, and that
" some of the national guard threw down their
arms, ran away, and concealed themselves is their

FROM THE SPANISH M tw.--The schooner
Franklin, BA arrow, has arrived at Norfolk from St.
Thomas's, whence she sailed the 2d inst. A St.
Thomas's Paper of the 29th ult. received by this ves-
sel, notice', the arrival there of the schoonti
Waterloo, four days from Legally, with several
emigrants. They state that the Independent troops,]
under command of General BOLIVAR, had occo-t
pied the suburbs of Careens. It was therefore cos.!
eluded that they had entered the capital, and tat,
consequence of numbers of blacks having joinedi
the Independents, the Commandant of Loguira
coated that city. The garrison and inhabitants
hod been received on board the vessels in the har-
bour, and proceeded to Puerto Cabello under con-
voy of a Spanish frigate.

The Esea made his public entree into Dublin on
Friday. An account of this imposing and interest-
ing ceremony is given in another part of oar Paper.
It would appear from the following anecdote that
Ireland may expect a repetition of the royal visit :
At sn adjourned Meeting of the Committee of Ci-
tizens, on Wed nesday, an eulogium was pronounced
upon the affability displayed by his MAJESTY to all
around him on his binding at Howth, to which Al-
derman SMITH, the Chairman, added, that Sir
BENJAMIN BROMLFIELD had mentioned, io pre-
sence of the Nobility, the Lord Mayor, and the
Judges of the laud, that his MAJESTY was delighted
with the beauty of the country ; as far as he had seen
of it, he did not conceive there was such a beautiful
spot in his dominions, it was his intention to revisit
it soon, and remain there for two or three months.
Hu MAJESTY FURTHER SAID, THAT IT WA4 MIS
INTENTION TO HOLD HIS COURT EVERY THIRD
YEAR IN DUSLIN.

The Report of the Select Committee of the
House of Commons appointed to consider the seve-
ral RETURNS made to the orders of that House in
1819, 18i0, and 18i1, ►elative to the Sums assessed,
levied. and expended, on account of the poor in
England and Wales, has been printed. It is
given in another pert of our paper.

Rear-Admiral Sir J. Poo BaRESFORD. K C.B.

W. Cuaisvir. Esq. to be his Secretary.
The Neapolitan General Para passed through
Exeter on Taesday morning for London.
His MAJESTY has had the condescension to observe
to an Irish Nobleman, that "he never felt himself so
perfectly a King as since he came to this country."
At ■ dinner given by his MAJESTY in the Park, on
Wednesday, the Dutch Ambassador Baron FAGEL,
was present. He was, according to the custom of
his Court, decorated with some orange ornament.
On his MAJESTY'S observing the decoration, he is
reported to have said to the Ambassador—" My
Dear Baron, this is a very excellent colour in the
Neihrrlands, but in this country it does not do so
well; I pray you lay it aside for my sake." This anec-
dote, which we relate on very high authority, re-
minds as of a letter our Londonderry Correspondent
has written to us on the subject of an orange display
that took place in that city on the Ittli, but we
have pledged ourselves to bury for ever all the acri-
mony of party politics, and on such a day as the
present, we cannot stop even to remonstrate with
our misguided fellow-countryman of Derry.—
