MINNA, JULY 12.
The Austrian Observer publishes the following
article on Aloldavia and Wallachia :
" According to the news received this moment
from the frontiers, the Turks, to the nutober of
12,000, commanded by the Puebla d'lbrail, entered
Jassy 26-11 June. Other dettichinesits have
marched on Dorehni, !terse, anti other points in
the direction of the frontier's. The Prince Canto-
cusene, brother-in-law of Ypsilanti, believed
some time back to have set out from Moldavia,
had retired with the lietairistes under his command
to StilL's, a country house not for from the Russian
frontier, alter having received the news of the
check suffered at Drawn-ellen by the corps of Yp-
silanti. An:lckes; .by 1,500 Turks about noon of
the 25th, lie was beaten, and the greater part of his
corps des!rgyed. .Prince Cantactezene had great
difficulty in raving himself with his Etat Major.
The survivors of this defeat are straying in little
parties about the frontier."
The following details of the battk of Dragaschan
have just been. received -
" The Turkish corps, scarcely 3,000 strong, was
entrenched upon the heights at the close of air ac-
tion which it. had 'interiorly with a Cllll.lO of Ar-
mada and Pandours, commanded by Alakedonsky
and
.Diamondi. Ypsilanti, who was compelled- to
overthrow Mir little corps if he would presserisejsay
freedom ill hi. movements, ordered the attack4l.lllo
fumes amounted. at least to 9,000 men.
" The fight commenced with a c.stinonadei gf
five pieces, and a general skirmish of the Animals;
but the 'Forks observing rouse hesitation and dis-
osder in the womb of the Greeks to advaueelisigokJ
upon themselves the offensive. The ArtmelltlB2
rd at the left wing of Ypsilanti, and
ed by C.irai.ia, who at the begismilig of illsrinove-
fro ion had directed the massacre of the l'enkspot
C..ialocz, disbanded themselves. This example ve4a
followed by the Arsiauls and Pandours on the 'WI
wing. and die 'acrid hoop, which formed the ceutre,
was the only our which remained firm. It was
overthrown ; and this troop,, composed of young
Greeks, for the greater part men of !education,
being routed, a general flight
.terminated. the
tomb,t.

Captain Juttlaki, who held out the longest,
collet:turf agent some of the divis• , and on the
astute might repaired to Slew deal. 113 y this he covered
tire flight of Ypsilanti towards Kroia.. The latter
place remaiised with a guard of 600. men its rear
of the trek] of battle, and was only triode acquaint-
ed with the fate of !no troops by the precipitancy of
tl.e -fugitives.
**Tamen inclement weather opposed many ob-
stacles to the guest of the vanquished and the par-
last of the cosigneror... At the end of long and
heavy rains the mountain streams became torrents
impassable without the risk of life. The paths
acre inundated and impracticable, and the tops of
the mountains were covered with thick snow, which
rendered comminticatien extremely difficult."
-According to letters from Semliii, of the 3,1, the
posts from Seres and Salotrica were due 12 days ,

spread to Pliersalia and Larissa, it is stiamected that
troubles have also breken out its S donica.
courier, urrivtd at Ilelgrode thrld July, has brought
intelligence that Hessen Paella, who fought Ali
Paella, of Jounnina, is ir. full rettert towards Mace-
doinu. TM* seems to confirm the rumour above
mentioned. The Greek vessels inerease before the
port of Salonica.
se Empoor Alexander has permitted the body
of the Patriarch Gregory, who was strangled at
Constantinople, to be solemnly interred. This erre.
mony took place on the 28th of June with much
pomp, A port of the clergy of several govern-
ments had arrived at Odessa to fleetest' any the
funeral bn°. Eight thousand troops under the
command of Count lategeross, formed the lines.
The body was to have lain in the Cathedral for
three days, and to be buried afterwards in the
vault of the new Greek church. The Emperor had
also sent 100,000 roubles to the relief of the
unfortunate Greek fugitives, who crowd the streets
of Odes.a, and who have lost all their property.
Intelligence of the 24.11 of June has also been re-
ceived from Constantinople, which gives a most
melancholy picture of the state of affairs there.—
The destruction of the fleet had still further eXMP-
!Yenned the Sultan and the populace; the houses
of the Greeks were all given up to be pillaged ;
and the Jews served as spies stud guitars to the po-
!Joiner. Ibe women a,. children had heel either
res.assissated or retried off as slaves. The Greeks,
natives of the .Morea, were first given up to the
people ; 300, who survived the massacre, were sold
at Irons 20 to 45 plastres, with the c !mon that
the purchar•ers should transport them into Asia.

LONDON,
FRIDAY, JULY st 7, 1821.

Monday re'smight is mentioned as the day flied
for his NI A BST Y s depa►ture for Ireland.

Paris Papers of Monday last have arrived at our
Office. Tl►e Mon/tear contain• an account pre-
settling something of an official character, which
gives a melancholy confirmation to the statements
previously received respecting u general massacre of,
the Greeks at Smyrna. The wretched imbecile
government of the town endeavoured, as it would
seem, to maintain the tranquillity of the place;
hot the efforts of the Pacha were wholly unavail-
ing, the brutal populace catching, no doubt, the
feeling or the supreme authority at Constantinople,
and instigated at once by national haired, religious
animosity, the desire of vengeance, and the hope of
plunder, indulged without restraint the worst of
!heir bad passions, and intosacred the unarmed
Greeks without distinctioa or remorse. Their
brutality seems, as we lied conjectured yesterday,
to have been particularly exasperated by some
naval successes of the Greeks, and more especially,
as it is said, by the loss or a Tut kiss, vessel of war,
on the 7th or Silt of June, near the island of Alp lene,
when the greater part of the crew were said to have
fallen victims to the rage of the Greeks. It cannot
be doubted that the war on both sides is one of ex-
termination, and that murder marks the successes
either party ; but it must in justice to . the
Greeks be remembered, that the work of mat-
was cor•ttsenced by the Ttiiks in the
!city of ' Gousteatisiople itself, long before the
!contempt had assumed any thing of a national or
religious . character• open the part of their an-
!tagonists, and when the ••happy victims of
their _ferocity, Getable even from want of arms, or
at previous concert, to disturb the safety of the
State, were stilt pursuing their peaceful. avocations,
in full coosadesee of enjoying the protection of the
laws, and were • giving it the moment the most
ample proofs of their individual 'llitriity to the
titian% Government. Fortunately for the sub-
jects of the western Powers of Europe. the British
corvette Media•, and a French (rive, ' with smaller
vessels of both nations, were at the time of the
masascre in the harbour of Satyrs.. The presence
of these ships, with time active exertions of their
officers, saved numerous lives. The Commanders
~f she Greek squadron are said to haveentertained a
resolution of proceeding• to Soria, and taking
possession of the town.

The int. Iligenee from CoottoMinople is, if pos-
sible, still inure distressing, sod solely because it
' continua/icily* with something of more partiCularity
the occurrences that have again stained that capital.
Since the commencenteolof the present conflict that
rages in the Tut bah province.% eiery successive ar-
rival in this country from the continent is calculated
to excite deeper and deeper &chop of horror
and execration at the savage ferocity that has
uniformly masked the conduct of the Turks. The
account of the victory of the Greeks at Mytilene,
could not, of cour.e, be kept secret at Constan-
tinople, sod she intelligence produced such an
effect upon the barbarians, both within and
without the Seraglio, es might from the former
occurtecces have unfortunately been apprehended.
The SULTAN waft exasperated at the destruction of
his fleet, M• which is to be understood, that the
power of the Government was not exerted to re.
s!rain the sanguinary turbulence of the populace ;
and the Geeks were, of course, plundered and
nitirdtred without mercy. The few details that
are given of the scenes that ensured are of a nature
to excite every feeling of indignation and hor-
ror at the remorseless barbarity of these inhuman
mo •stern. We feel language inadequate to convey
tie cxvressrun of our own feelings. Neither rank
nor condition, netther the revere-ce of age nor the
delicacy of sex was spared. Those who escaped the
first burst of fury were reserved fur cooler moments
to glut the thirst of blood, and the delight of killing
a Greek was purchased by the calculating wealthy
Turks at she price of 25 and 30 piastres. The
fate of some Grecian females, whose lineage ranked
among the proudest and iwbleat of their nation,
orris to fort ontemplation of every generous and
feehtig toitorl a IT. el ade of the ntr•st revolting
character. If the story of their wrongs fail to ant-
iwar every bosom is Greece with an unquenchable
hatred to die Turk*, and a desperate determitration
to avenge their. suffersirgs, Greece is unworthy of
