SMYRNA, JUNE 19.

Extract from a prirute Letter.]
For four days pest the European Consuls and
merchants, who have taken refuge on board the
vessels in the road, have seen their bowed and fac-
tories laid waste by the Turkish popuiice, in con-
junction with the Janissaries. This undisciplined
race of men, after having cut the throat of the
Mousselitn, or filahometan Lieutenant-General,
who opposed himself to their fury, used violenco
to the Packs of Cesare+, whom they compelled to
permit them to do whatever they pleased. Thus.
in • few days, the first sea-port irn the Levant, the
opulent Smyrna, its timpani's, its riches, and its
prosperity will have disappeared !
Every thing that bears the name of Christian,
Greek, Armenian, or Frank, is exterminated ; the
Catholic and Orthodoi Churches are the objects
of the rage of a people without restraint, and ex-
cited by the allurement of plunder and by a fanatic
spirit. I calculate that upwards of ?,000 Christians
of every age and sex have fallen by the poi,iards
of the Mahometans, who 1111 longer make ail at•eret
of tkeir design to extirpate Christianity, and trans-
form their empire into another Teuris, where Euro-
peans will only final admittance, us at Japan, by sub.
mitting to the most revolting humiliations, if they
be bare enough to endure such an • insult. But
without anticipating the future, you may imagine
the enormous losses which the Levant trade will
sustain, and the bankruptcies which will inevitably
follow.

The town of Siilonia, which► the Turks call Irian',
where there were computed to be th►rty thousand
Christians, has just been burned by the Turks,
who pot to death all she inhabitants capable of
bearing arms, and carried nit the women and chil-
dren as slaves to the interior. The colleges, semi-
naries, churches, the infirmary, and publ►c library,
ere destroyed, in fact nothing remains of this once
flourishing city.

CORFU, JUNG 30.
We hose this moment learned that all Themly
is in a state of insurrect►on. The towns of Volo and
Zeitoun, whe►e the Turks have been, are in the
possession of the Greek•. Phursitha hos been occu-
pied by the Lieutenant of the venerable Gazi, Arch-
bishop of Pelion, who has put sill the Turks to the
sword. Aja and AinbelacWa, inhibited solely by
Greek•, have organized a provisionrl government,
which d►rects all the affairs of the prriviiice. In coil-
soquence of these events, Ourschid, Pacha of Sa-
losimit, has been compelled to rinse the siege of Ju-
nior, to proceed into Macedonia, which he will not
be abk to traverse, that he may repair to the chief
place in his governmeut.
VIENNA, JULY I%

According to intelligence bow Semlin, of the
3d of this mouth, the last from Perez •od Salo-
nica had not arrived for a fortnight pito, as pre-
vious intelligence had ousiounced that the insur-
rection had spread as fur as Pliarsalia and
it is thought disturbances bare broken out iu the
capital of Nlacedotsia.
A Turtar (courier) who arriired •t Belgrade the
4d of this month, brought news that the Pacha,
who had been before J•uiva, had departed in haste
with his tramps for filocedonio, which seems to
confirm the statement of an insurrection. Several
Greek sliips had already made their appearance
before the harbour of Sulonica.
