..LONDON, FRIDAY, JANUAIIIT 9, 1924.

The Mositestrof Tooday, hi its non-official pat, statei,
under dam from Vienna, the 23th of December, that a
mead understanding between Russia and the Porte again
real's, effected through the Austrian Internmacio„who
succeeded in making the Reis- Effendi most comfortable on
the subject of the Russian hcirdas stationed in Podolia
Vorhynia, and the neighbouring provinces; and that
a part of these mercenaries who were cartooned in
Bileurabia, the province which adjoins Turkish Mol-
davia, having been withdrawn to more distant can-
moments from the Turkish frontiers, the Divan; it
adds, "became doubly satistlitl. The result of all was,
that through the disinterested negotiations of Baron
Ottenfels, the Austrian Intcrnuncio, harmony was in
prospect again; and the provincts of il'allachia and Afol-
davit, it was expected, would be evacuated by the turkish
bends. This consummation, however, we very much
doubt: Turkey is row in anything but good temper with
her Greek subjects. and little inclined to make any con-
cessions to Ramis, whom she esteems the author of the
retolt. ln proportion as the designs of Austria herself are
1
growing stronger on these provinces, this power is over-
rating her part Of apparent disinterestedness, and affecting
only to be anxious that her confederate (Russia) and
Turkey should be on terms of amity. The destiny of the
laud' power is, however, drawing fast to its close.; and we
may now venture to assert that the independence of Greece
is ultimately assured. The third campaign of this bar-
barous statocracy has been full of disaster and disgrace,
while the efforts of the Greeks Lace been worthy of the
proudest period of their history.

The Barbary States are again renewing their outrages.
Nothing but extermination will quiet these pirates. Frank-
fort papers to the iM instant re ached us yesterday ; they
contain an article from Leghorn, where the report was
current, that the British Consul at Tunis had been grossly
insulted—nay, even assassinated. If so, we trust the most
uignal vengeance will be dealt on these barbel lane. It ap-
pears that an English vessel, unstated, having on board
eighty Creek passengers, and an its way to ;Talta from the
Islands, was met at gee by a Tunisian frigate, and a de-
mand made by the Corsair, that the Greeks should be
given up. The English Captain, of course, refused ; on
w!:ich the Pirate manned a boat, and sent his armed cut-
throats on board, who took away the Greeks by force.
The English Captain, on the perpetration of this audacious
outrage, returned immediately to Malta, where he stated
the occurrence. A swift-sailing vessel was instantly dis-
patched to Tunis, to demand the release of the Greeks.
The answer. however, made by the Be y's Ministers was,
that the captives were subjects of the Porte, and were only
to be considered as rebels, and that they would not be given
up, having already undergone their fate.—The British
Consul, it is relied, interested himself warmly in the affair,
and fell (it is feared) in consequence, under the poniards
of these barbarians. If this abominable outrage has been
perpetrated, we hope inset reprisals will be dealt on
Tunis, and a squadron sent there for the purpose of bom-
barding the place, and destroying the marine of these
barbarians. We thought Lord Exmouth's attack on
Algiers, in 1816, was not yet forgotten on this coast, and
would have insured respect at list to our flag. Tunis
stands on the western side of a shallow lake, which is en-
tered
from the part or bay of Colette, by a narrow passage, Ii
between the south point of Cape Carthage and the opposite
cape. The city is about five milts in circumference, with
a population of upwards of 60,000. The harbour is de-
fended by a castle, badly fortified, and the fortress of
Galena en the side of the canal. The city may be reduced
to great distress, for the supply of water is outside the
walls, at more than a mile's distance. The Tunisians
were generally supposed to be the most peaceful and
industrious among the Barbary regencies. Considerable
Manufactures in linen and woollen goods prevailed there,
for the isle of which there is yet a piazza of great extent,
near the centre of the city, which contained formerly, it is
said, near three thousand shops. The English, French,
Dutch, and others, lefre European Consuls at Tunis, who
in general Were treated with deference and attention. The
enuntry of Tunis extends about two hundred miles from
north to south, and one hundred and twenty from east to
weat. It was at one tune subject to Morocco, and then
became independent. lit 1533 it was subdued by the cele-
brated corsair, Barbarous ; and in spite of the endeavours
of Charles V. and his immediate successors, it was made a,
province of the Ottoman empire, under Seim 11., by
Sinan, Bashaw of the Levant. Considerable trade is still
carried on at Tunis ; for, besides linen and woollen goods,
velvets and silks, fire-arms, sword-cutlery, Morocco:I leather,
and the small red caps universally worn by the lower orders,
were manufactured there. They trade, besides, in horses,
olives, oil, ostrich feathers, gold dust, and Morocco skins.
The inhabitants are a motley mixture of Mars, Turk',
Arabs, Jews, and Christian merchants and slaves—for
Christian slavery yet pre vas's to a melancholy extent in all
these regencies, and numbers of Spaniards and Italians in'
particular, yet groan out their lives in almost hopeless bon-
dage. With barbarians of this description force is the
only argument that will be eft'. setive ; and if the outrage
mentioned in the Frankfort Papers be founded, and our
Consul has been asaassina.etl, reprisals, we trust, of the
most summary and effective nature will instantly be made,
to avenge the insolence and ferocity of these pirates ; and
protect, by wholesome tenor, our flag and suitiects from
their anceity for the future.

JANVARY 6.
We have seen for the lot month, in the French and English
journals, such absurd statements respecting the political situation of
Europe, and the projects and negotiations of the Cabious, that we
have not thought it necessary to remark or to ridicule their various
contradictions. It is in this way they speak of the occupation of
the Balearic Isles by Russia, and the warlike preparations of Eng.
land. The speculators on the Change and those who calculate
upon the elections, will be equally deceived. Never was Europe
nwre pacific nor the internal or estetnal tranquillity of the states
better confirmed.

TWA morning, before masa, the King received in private Bodices,

Queen. The nest perfect gaiety reigned in the august assembly.
The king was delighted to see himself surrounded by his entire

OREEGE.--C:AhIPA lON OF 1823.

PYIGOS, Nov. 27.

After having landed a part of his troops at Catystoa, the Ca pi-
tan Pada proceeded to the gulf of Petra.. Ilia best care on his
arrival was to establish the regular blockade of Misisolonghi. To
effect this purpose he arrested many European Captains whom he
found on his arrival in the port of this city, and gave to many of
them the lumina& on the soles of the feet, after the manner of the
Turks. Some other arbitrary acts upon his part produced a warts
altercation between hint and the Captains of the English navy,
which compelled him to adopt a more reasonable line of conduct.
, The Capitan Pscha afterwanls landed at the port of Corinth the
greater part of his laid forces, to provision the citadel of Ace°.
corinth, then occopital by a Turkish garrison. All the efforts
made by his troops to
.t„rin this citadel were useless ; constantly
di Men back upon the hatbour, they embarked again to enter the
gulf of Patras. All the other attempts that he made, as well
upon the coasts of the Peloponnmus as upon those of Livadia,
were equally unfortunate ; but what particidarly mortified the pride
or the Ottoman Admiral was the following circumstance :—Upon
the first day of his arrival in the gulf of Patras he gave his Cap-
tains the most rigorous orders Na establish their cruiser' on all the
points of the gulf, to cut off all communication between Mimes-
longhi and the sea. The Greeks then armed their small shallops,
end availing themselves of the favourable weather. not only came
in and out of the gulf, but they had even the audacity to capture
some of the Turkish convoys, in defiance of the cruisers. Warned
by these events to have lees relianceon his power, the Capitan Paella
resolved thenceforward to attempt nothing against Ittissolhi be-
fore the altrlvale of the Oaten& of the stea7,' who would toes-
bine theiv Abets with those of the Admiral to attack at otter by sea
and land. Such was at this period the Aviation of this important
place, agailist which the Porte directed its principal efforts. Be-
fore the insurrection Misaolonghi was an open city. It was on the
I first year of the insurrection that 31aumeordato, who perceived all the
importance of the position, raised some fortifications which served
to defend this city against the armies of four Turkish and Albanian
Pachas. After the repulse of these armies, new fortifications were
raised, planned by many ingenious engineers. The design of the
(lumen Generals to attack by ma and land was perfectly good. An
Albanian column of ten or twelve thousand men was 'seem-

bled upon the frontiers of Epirus. to march through Acarnania.
The Poch* of Scours marched by Agrapha, through Etulis. On ,
.his side, the Capitan Paella had landed upon Cryonerun and upon
Procaniston, not far from Missnlonghi, and he was ready to land '
the remainder of his tenors in Candyla, a port of Acamania. All
these foray were to waist each other in advancing to conquer
Etolia, and arrive beton. the walls of Miasolonghi.
Marcos Moans in part frustrated these skilful designs of the
enemy. Having perceived the discontent of many Albanian Ages,
he established a correspondence with the chiefs amongst them, and
succeeded in creating suspicion between these Chiefs and the Pasha.
When the latter determined on marching upon Vrachori, a general
revolt of the Albanians broke out. The military chest of the Se-
riskier ins plundered, and he himself, pursued, took refuge in one
of his vessels moored betbre Vonitaa, and saved himself. After de-
feating this object of the Turks, Iluzaris went to Carpeniae, where
he awaited the Pasha of Scodra. A ware of the extreme dispro-
portion of the armies, lie funned, upon the aimroach of the enemy,
the project of surprising him during the nignt. On the evening
01 the 21,th of August he executed his design, worthy of Leonidas
at Thermopylae. At the head of 240 *dimes all tried men,
he advanced to the tents of the Boehm', placed in 'the centre of the
enmity's camp, and carried turno aad death with him • his batta-
lion equalled in valour and devotion the three hundred Spartans ; all
the other troops mak part in this action, and attacked simulta-
neously the 'tucks in niree places. The enemy lost in killed and
wounded 3,0110 men, but the viczury cost the life of Bozaris, whom
Oneeestill bitterly laments. The ruvalt of the Albanians, and
the defeat of the Pacha of Suedes, to whom the Divan gave the

against the dismissal of M. Henri Barbet, Mayor of the interesting

men who had borne arms against France. This statement is false.

The Government, which in its anxiety has desired that COOMICYCf
