LONDON, MONDAY, JUNE 18.
Three o'clock, p.m

The accounts in the Foreign Journals of the
atrocities committed by the Turks are revolting to
Immunity. The Grzek churches at Constantinople
have been pillaged and dilapidated, and the most
barbarous cruelties continue to be inflicted on the
Greek inhabitants, who are massacred wherever they
are found, and their bolus mutilated. Intelligence
of a very important nature has been received at the
Hotel of the Russian Embassy, from which it ap-
pears dm the Emperors of Russia and Austria are
determined to interfere in consequenc! of the igno-
minious .death of the Greek Patriarch, and other
heads of the Greek church, together with the co-
wardiy cruelties committed against the unfortunate
and resistless Greeks. It is said that the two Em-
perors have determined to insist on such reparation
from the Ottoman Parte as the case will admit, and
an assurance that the persecution of the Christians
shall iinmediutely cease Oue carious and singular
feature of this important business is, that the polities
ot' the Holy Alliance must he totally changed, us the
two Emperors will thus espouse the cause of the
Insurgents, or The Rebels as they are culled in those
Journals who uphold the cause of Legitimacy, while
France and other independent nations must perceive
the danger of Russia and Austria gaining an acces-
sion of strength which may hereafier be exercised
against the happiness and independence of Europe.
The Paris papers of Thursday state, that the Arts-
Irian Mover of the 3d inst. confirms the previous
accounts of the pillage and destruction of the Greek
churches at Constantinople, and of the renewal of
the persecutions and cruelties inflicted on the Greek
inhabitants. As it appears, however, that several of
the perpetrators of these atrocities were promptly
apprehended and executed, it um; be doubted whe-
ther the measure in which the: originated was
sanctioned by the Turkish Government. No furthei
accounts had reached Vienna from .lold:tvia or
Wallachi.• ; butt a letter from the frontier states,
th it it was announced at FolLschun iha the Greek
army had been surprised and destroyed by the
Turks on the 13th of . tar.
On the 46th ult. tl King of Naples issued seve-
ral decrees -dative to the administration of that
kingdom :tau' of Sicily. iris Sicilian ‘fujest;. had
ordered the Spanish squadron, Is hick was in the 134
of Naples, to deivari without delay; and, further.
proltilsited it from anchoring in any of the ports of
his kingdom.

In the French Charaher of Deputies, on the 18th,
M. Ileausejour proposed the suppression of the dra-
matic rensership• •s an useless expense, and an orsce
best pertortned by the public.
M. lJcr j. C. natant .dso opposed the vote for the
expense of iuscrtioos in the journals, through which
mode he emitentletl that Aiinisters .trid their subor-
dinate agents, .i the national expense, issued cAttm-
-11:005 aspersions against the jerthers opposed to
t:2ent in polities.
