we doubt not that so it has been, notwithstanding
the petty sneers of the Miniaterial Prints.

We lament to find by the Paris Papers of Tues
day that the Greeks have suffered their indignation
at the massacre of Scio to tempt them to retaliate
upon their barbarous tyrants. The garrison of
Athens had surrendered to the Greeks by capitula-
tion, but upon some account reaching the con-
querors of the success of the Turks at Thermopylae,
they put 600 of the Muasulrnat►s to the sword.
We may account for this, but we do not pretend
to excuse it. The guilt of one party can never
justify that of their opponents. It is an evil al-
most necessarily incident to a civil war, that every
crime committed upon either side may find some
excuse in the conduct of the opposite. The
wretched remnant of the Musaulnian garrison of
Athens found refuge on board a French ship.
It is said that this ship brings an account of the
total defeat of the Greeks by CHOURSCHID PACHA,
but as no date is given to this event, we still hope
that it refers to the action of the 7th of June, and
not to the battle of the Bth, alien, according to
the first intelligence, the Greeks took noble ven-
geance for their discomfiture on the preceding day.
The tiial of the persons implicated in the Ro-
chelle conspiracy still proceeds. The charge up-
pears to have had its origin in the machinations of
some spies of the Government, of whom a fellow
of the name of DE11114015, who disgraces the rank
and title of a General, seems to have been the chief.
This is the mat►, the mention of whose name gave
occasion on the second day of the trial to the Pre-
sident and the Bar to shew their indignation against
the counsel of one of the prisoner., for having
insinuated that so immaculate a character ■s a
" French General" could have acted dishonourably.
The lively imagination of. the Parisians is vastly
amused by the publication of an anagram of this
person's name, which in their opinion marks his
character and occupation. They call him Espium-
ides.
