Extract from the Spectate's Oriental :
Smyrna, July 13.
At the
.beginning of this mouth the Ottoman
Bret was cruising off Metelen*, on the morning of
of the nth it was moored at Teoedos.
The insurgents hare fortified themselves still
more strongly at !pears, and bays collected a larger
stock of ammunition.
The Greeks on board the' two celebrated fire-
ships all escaped in the bark, with Latin soda, of
which we have spoken. They had in the middle of
them • large barrel of powder reedy to set it on fire,
and blow op any ship of oar that might have de-
tained them ; fur in thine heroic devotedness they
bad foresseem the possibility of being taken, in which
case they were resolved tit make their death useful
to their coantry, by destroying soother of the ene-
my's mods.
The extraordinary circumstance of these two
floe ships, ins of which burial the Admiral's ship,
and the other had nearly blown up two other ves-
sels, has produced great enthusiasm smug the
Wanders, and raised their pretensions to on extra-
ordinary pitch. They have jest offeeloi a landing

This one:petted 'dement can have no other object
that to favour the emigration of the inhabitants of
the Mastievillages.

had attacked the first villages on the road,
where they murdered the men, and made slaves
of the women. Eller Aga. to whom the care
of these plsces had been confided. succeeded
in arresting the progress of these abominable ex-
cesses, and the licentious were not able to penetrate
into most of these villages. The greatest terror,
however, reigned, and part of the inhabitants have
emigrated and Red to Ipsura. Whatever event
might have happened. the Greeks of the Mastic
villages ought to have been emceed—they ought to
have been saved, and insured at alt haw& from
every attack. It was a duty imposed equally by

The contagion rages more than ever at Scio.
There have died already at the French Consulate,
1 I Catholics and 76 Greeks, including the Dragoman
with his wife and children. The Greeks crowded
together in the church of the Consulate were swept
sway in a cruel manner. by the cositagion. While
things were in this deplorable state they had the
happiness to see M. Digeon return from Smyrna.
With that humanity and zest of which he has given
so many proofs, he immediately took judicious mea-
sures to stop the progress of the evil. He has had
wooden barracks erected in the great garden of the
Consulate for all those persons who were in good
health; lie then hired a house contiguous to the
Consulate, where he has lodged the sick ; prorisions
and medicines are distributed to them daily. and
more than 250 persons encamped in the garden are
also fed and provided for.
The church having been this clearrd, M. Digeon •
performing for the moment functions of ogrolt of
his Majesty, had a funeral service performed fur the
repose of the souls of M. de Itourville. of the
Dragoman, and of all the other Catholics dead be-
fore or after them.

To complete the misfortunes of Scio, provisions
are extremely scarce, and nothing to be had but
bad gaits flesh.
The persons who have taken refuge in the con-
sulate were lately in very great danger. A Mu.-
pelmets, moved with compassion, came privately and
gave information that the Turkish 'regiment of 150
risen encamped close to the Consulate, had formed
the project to scale the walls of the garden in the
night, so massacre the meta and to belie the women.
Bat M. Digeon baffled this infernal plot. Alter
having taken Ell necessary measures, he kept watch
during the night in the garden. It was midnight ; pro-
found silence reigned, when the savages were heard
scaling the wall. How great was their surprise a►
seeing Mr. Digeon, with his sabre in one hand awl
a pistol in the other, at the head of Ibis Janissaries,
all sensed like himself, and ready to 6re. In their
confusion they discharged a few musket., and then
retreated.

On the following day M. ar.,eon went to the
Pectin to complsiu of this violation of the asylum
of those under his protection. The Padua li•teued
to his complaints, and has banished the wretches
from the island.—(Joarna/ de Frankfurt, Aug. eu.)
