(From a Commercial Lester.)

Since the late events our situation has become
less alarming. The Turkish arms have again sub-
jected all the village, that had revolted, from our
city to Mount Athos and Wino. Only two rather
difficult points still remain, Monte Santo and Cas-
sandra, where the Greeks seem disposed to make a
long resislaoce, and the Turks, oil their side, are
preparing to attack them on two sides. The above
villages had been deceived entirely by the flatteries
and threats of the Greek armed vessels, which as-
sured them that Alexander Ypsilanti was already
master of Moldavia, Wallachia, and Servia, and
threatened Constantinople with an army of 150,000
men. By such delusion they plunged the poor
people iu the greatest misery, for above 90 villages
which attempted to revolt have been plundered and
burnt by the Turks. Here (at Salonichi) the Greeks
continue to be thrown into prison, and to be bur-
dened with heavy contributions; many rich Greek
houses, which had outstanding debts in those vil-
lager, are ruined, us well as the country people
theasaelees. There are still executions every day ;
a week ago the Greek Archbishop and two Greek
merchants were beheaded, and their heads exposed
for three days together to the instills of the Turks.
They were said to be implicated in the conspiracy,
at least it is said that princely insignia of honour
sod dresses were reamd the house of one of them,
it being his design, it things turned out favourable,
to become Prince of Salonichi. He bad had the
clothes made by a Greek tailor, but this wretch
turned Mahometan and betrayed him. In the
quarter of the Franks we enjoy perfect tranquillity.
Commerce goes on without interruption.—(Fraek-
fort Papers, Septentler 20 )

(EMUS, SEPTEMBER 3.
According to accounts from Sere:, in Macedonia,
of August 92, the niche of Salouichi had collect-
ed all his forces in the middle of August, and
marched towards Cassandra, to meet the victorious
Greeks (stated at 90,000 men), who were advanc-
ing from the side of St. Catarina, in Theismly.
Alexander Staginita, who commanded the Greeks,
defeated the Turks near Cassandra on the 19th
August, so that the remains of the Turkish army
with difficulty escaped to Salouichi. Among the
numerous prisoners is stated to be a corps of 400
Jews, which had beers voluntarily formed at
Salnoi-
chi, out of hatred to the Greeks. The Greeks,
adds the letter, wha treated the Turkish prisoners
mildly, mutilated most of the Jewish prisoners in
the most cruel manner, cutting off chins, noses,
and hands. If the friend of humanity must feel
profound abhorrence of such cruelties, it is alleged,
on the other hand, that the Jews throughout Turkey
are in league to destroy the Greeks. All the
Turkish Governors, even military Commandants,
are said, now that the Greeks are proscribed, to
have only Jews for their agents; and in the execu-
tion of the most cruel acts of the Turkish barba-
rians, Jews are said to be usually the instruments.
Numerous events of this nature have excited an in-
extinguishable hatred between the Greeks and the
Jews. At Sulonichi all the Jew. have armed them.
selves, formed a body guard for the Cadi, and
during the absence of the Pioche in his expedition
against the Greeks, kept in check the Greeks living
►n the city, who, it is true, were previously dis-
armed. It must not be forgotten that the Jews in
Turkey, in consequence of the heavy oppression
under which they are placed, are at the lowest step
in the scale of civilization, and can by no means be
placed on a level with their brethren living in the
Christian European States.
