CONSTANTINOPLIC, MAY 26:
A cry of horror 'will .resound through Europe
when the new cruelties in Selo are made known.—
All are massacred. Even the 78 Prelates who were
detained as hostages have been cut to pieces in the
fort. The generous French Consul, Digeon, is
the moat to be pitied. He had gone into the villages
and proclaimed the Turkish amnesty, and at the
same time pledged himself for the Sultan's giving
pardon. The inhabitants on this surrendered all
their arms, on which the Asiatics fell on thirteen
villages and executed a general massacre. All fell
without defence under the sword or the Turks, who
behaved with the most refined cruelty. The whole
island is a sepulchre. The few women and chil-
dren who were sheltered in the French Consulate
are in the deepest misery. Some Greeks still com-
bat in the mountains ; but their destruction is cer-
tain. These events hate excited such terror he-e,
that nobody ventures to intercede for a Greek fa-
mi•y for fear of being included in the same pro-
seriptitm.—(Allgeneense &thong, Jane 18.)

BEMLIN, JUNK 3.
Letters from Bitog,lia, of May 23, have been re-
ceived at Belgrade, from which it appears that
consternation prevails in that part of the country._
The Turks ire advancing in great force towards
Larissa. The agents of the English are said to
have succeeded in inducing the Sulints and Alba-
nians to submit to Chourschid Pacha, who will
soon effect his junction with the Pacha of Saloniclii
to march through Livadis against the Mores
Decisive events may, therefore, sorm be expected
in these parts. Nothing but a Miracle can save
the Greeks as affairs now stand. It it affirmed
that the operations of the Turks, both by sea and
land, are diverted by English officers, and that they

FEOM THE MAINZ, JUNE 19.
Mr. Von G. a young Noblrmo of the north of
Germany, who, inspired by enthusiastic love of
liberty ■nd by youthful courage, had hastened to
the Mores, returned home • few days ago; he left
the theatre of war with five comrades, •od landed
at Venice. flis act mint of the Greeks, of their
mode of warfare, and their behaviour to foreigners
who have hasteued front remote countries to their
aid, places that people in no favourable light. He
describes the land troops as seeking pillage rather
than victory, and says, that they even attack those
of tin it own cation when they meet with a weaker
body returning home with booty, csrelrss of shed-
ding Ch ' 'an blood if they can snatch the spoil
from the original robber. Between ,the Greeks
at sea and those at land there is Pro centrum-
oiry of interests, no onion ; they are like two
distinct nations, resembling each other only in
their lust of r•l.iae, sod considering foreigners as
adventurers who come to share the spoils which
they might have had to themselves. He confesses
that they behave better to foreigners of distinction.
Without attempting to invalidste his statements, we
must observe, that if .we examine things on a great
scale, and consider only the general results, we have
the more reason to be astonished at them, for it
cannot be dented that notwithstanding all these de-
fects and impediments, the Greeks have made great
progress towards their object.

M. laiane de Villevrque chiefly coasidered those articles
of the prujet which applied to the Colonies. Ile could not
ton often repeat that to admit the propoteed augmentations in
their full extent, was to subject the Freed consumer to a
new lax of 25 millions per annum, whilst the public treasury

blow to the commerce, the manufacture., and the Leg. lcul.
tore of Frame, by excluding her, on account of the aug-
meataliou of duties, from the vast field which the Spanish
and Portuguese Americans afforded for speculation.
M. de Straurello said, every measure adopted for aug-
menting the ditties oa the importation of foreign produce, or
for its prohibition, immediately gives rise to similar mea-

other countries. He desired the Chamber to eousider the
effect produced In Germany by the project of law presented

to raise a barrier, 11,1 only to obstruct the admission of
F,eueb produce, but even to prohibit its free passage. If
