FOREIGN ISTELLIGENCE•.

From accounts by the German mail it appears
that Jassy and Bucharest, the two capitals, are al-
ready in the hands of the Turks: and that Ypsi-
lanti, who still remained at Tergovitz with 10.000
men, was about to be attacked by the united threes
of Hadschi Aehmet Pacha and Jussup Paella, of
Ibrailow. Theodore, if we may believe these state-
ments, was surprised at Pitescht by an officer of
Ypsilanti's, who conducted him as prisoner to the
head•gnarters of that chief at Tergovlz. We in-
sert sonic details respecting the maritime prepara-
tions and movements of the Ottoman Government ;
and others descriptive of the usage and horrible
atrocities committed by both parties :--
CONSTANTINOPLE, MAY 25.—The Porte is in.
cessantly occupied with armaments to suppress the
insurrection in Moldavia and Walachia; it pays
equal attention to the measures carrying on to sup-
press the insurrection of the Moreu and Negropont,
and to destroy the Greek ships that infest the Archi-
pelago. tlorali Pacha, who was for some days in
the neighbourhood of this city, is gone with 12,000
men to Rumelia.
On the 18th a second division of the fleet put to
sea ; it consists of one 74, 3 frigates, and 3 brigs.
These and a ship of the line which sailed this morn-
ing, after taking in their ammunition, &c. at St.
Stefano and Gallipoli, sailed to the Dardanelles.—
They are fine vessels and \veil equipped, but have
not sufficient men, the rebellion of the Greeks de..
priviug the government of the best sailors. The
Admiralty has enlisted 523111e1l of all nations, who
receive three months' pay in advance. It is hoped
the crews may be completed in the Dardanelles.
The manner in which both parties carry on the
contest excites indignation. It is mostly unarmed
persons who are sacrificed. The Mussulmen and
the Greeks vie with each other in cruelty. In the
Mores and Negropont, they found victims for their
fury. Patrasso and Athens have fallen a prey to
the flames. There, and in 'Lea, Tino, and NI yconne,
the most dreatifid murders were committed in cold
blood by both parties. Smyrna, too, was lately the
scene of many excesses, but the arrival of sonic
English and French men of war uflerds security to
tile Franks, and will probably check the Greek pi-
rates.

PARIS, JUNE 23.—1 t appears almost certain that
the Emperor of Russia has no intention of declaring
in favour of the Greeks; anti as to his illustrious
ally, the Emperor of Austria, the following intela
ligence will clearly show his disposition :
The Emperor of Austria on the 9th of June re-
ceived a deputation of the proviwital states of Aus-
tria to congratulate him on bis having re-established
peace and tranquillity in Italy, on his having over-
thrown faction and restored legitimate power. In a
long answer which he returned, the following is
the most remarkable passage
Providence has permitted great evils for the
sake of teaching great lessons. At the moment
when we arc occupied with the re-establishment of
tranquillity at Naples, another conspiracy, nod lest
criminal, broke out in an empire immediately ad-
joining mine. The authorsof all these plots thought
themselves sure of victory; they forgot that a firm
policy can defy any danger however great or sudden.
With the faitidid and constant co-operation of my
allies, I will maintain peace,'' &c.
By the way the censors who are so ready to spill
their read ink, have spared this passage out of u
regard, no doubt, due to the true interest of legi-
timate government. The real friends of established
government must be mightily pleased at the admis-
sion of the Grand Turk among the members of the
Holy Alliance.
Jose 26.—1 n the Deputies a discussion was
opened upon the Marine Budget, the expenses of
which were oftkially estimated at 53 millions francs
(2.200,000 l.)
The NliniAer of M:lrine, M. Portal; mastic a re-
port upon the present comlition of the French navy,
which contained some highly interesting facts.—
While the navy of the United States, observed the
Minister, consists of only 11 sail of the line and 14
frigates, demanding an expence of 16 or 18 millions
of francs, the French navy, which comprehends 58
ships of the line and 29 frigates, ought, with its
collateral establishments, to be allowed for its main-
tenance above 80 millions. He added to this state-
mint of the gross amount of the navy, for which
few, possibly, of our readers were prepured, the
following detailed observations—
That a 74 gun ship, which before the revolution,
cost about 1,200,000 francs (50,0001), could not
now be built under 1,700,005 f. upward 0470,0001.)
.--That the French models retuiri their former ex-
c-llence;—that more than two-thirds of the officers
and pupils of marine, whose presence ashore is not
indispensable. are actually now afloat ;--that the
Feench commerce and fisheries engage about 52,000
seamen; while the royal navy, which, previously to
the month of June, 1820, had need of nu more
than 6,812, and even at the close of the year, found
employmcut for only 7,743, is now, in the year
1821, manned by 10,764 seamen ;—that the mari-1
• time population is on the increase :—that in five
years the mass of workmanship bestowed upon dif-
ferent men of war has been more than equal to the
building of fourteen 74-gun ships;—that ten sail of
the line, five frigates, and tour sloops of war, have
undergone a thorough repair ;—that various im-
portant works in the dock-yards have been carrying
on with assiduity, and with us much success as the
limited funds assigned to Cie maritime department
would admit of; and finally, that the Minister, in-•
stead of acknowledging the expediency of any of the
proposed reducti:ms in the budget, earnestly hopes
from the increasing prosperity of the finance, to see
the expenditure of his department raised to the sum
of' 65,000,000 f. Several speeches thllowed that of
M. Portal, but none of them to be compared with
it in the extent of their information or the accu-
racy of its views. The Chamber adopted the first
article, via. that providing for the central adminl-
strution of the marine, with a small reductina of
20,0001. and adjourned the remaining branches of
this subject.
Private letters from Paris communicate an official
answer from Ilia Emperor ;.:1 Austria to a deputation
of the provincial states, who had offered their con-
gratulations on the re-establishment of peace in
Italy, wherein his Imperial Majesty is pleased to
time *li:stare:eau:l of the Crechs as the re-
sult of a conspiracy " nod less criminal" then that
el Naples, and promises to do us much for the L.:-
pose and harp ::• Torts es he bad already

The islands of Spezia, Hydra, and Ipsara have
70 vessels in the Archipelago, some of which carry
from 16 to 20 gnus. They examine the merchant-
men of all nations, and seize all Turkish property
on board, without respect to any flag. These mo-
dern bucaniers have even chased ships of war, have
Wien a Turkish brig, and blown up a small vess.l.
The Porte has laid an embargo on all corn ships
coping from Russian ports ; and all vessels going. to
the Black Sea are searched before they quit the har-
bour of Constantinople. This measure has been
caused by the increasing emigration of the ltsjas,
and the flight of several individuals implicated in
the conspiracy of the Greeks.
The Sardinian government has at length succeed-
ed in obtaining of the Swiss government, to prohibit
Messrs. Santa Rosa, Saint Murata, hit), and the
Prince of Cisterna, from residing in the Canton of
Geneva, or in the Pays de Vaud. This measure
will probably be extended to all the Pitxlmontcse is
all the Cantons of Switzdand. The Prince of
Cisterns and other chiefs of the revolution have beer.
«unlearned to death at Turin, and hung in effigy.
Madrid papers and letters to the 15th ult. arrived.
The Spanish frigate Amin, with nearly 5,000,000
dollars on board, and convoying 52 merchantmen
with valuable cargoes, arrived at Cadiz en the 7th,
in 40 days from Havannah. Advices had been re-
ceived from Vera Cruz of the termination of the
insurrection in Mexico, by the voluntary surrender
of its leader Iturbide, who accepted the amnesty
that was offered. In the internal affairs of Spain
little of moment has occurred. Merino still eludes
pursuit, but is said to be reduced, with his adhe-
rents, to the most destitute condition. Thu curate
of Roe, one of his friends and partisans, has Len
taken prisoner by the Empecitinde. A party of free-
booters, consisting of about filly men, supposed to
entertain similar designs with Merino, had appe,red
in the vicinity of Cadiz. Nothing is stated, Low-
ever, that can render doubtful the tranquillity of the
kingdom.
Letters dated the 10th ult. have been received

Green, the British Consul at Patras, had visited
Zante for the purpose of placing his family out ofd
the reach of possible danger, but was about to re-:
turn to his post, in which he appears to have con-
ducted himself v ith such a degree of firmness and
prudence as to entitle him to the commendations of
the British authorities in the lonian Islands, and to
the particular notice of the Ottoman government.—
The Turks are said to be collecting an army of
30,000 men at Adrianople. Great numbers of Greeks
have been put to death in that city, including several
heads of families of the first consequence. These
letters enable us to 'contradict the reports in the
French papers of the death of Ali Pacha. He still
defended himself in a fortress of the lake of Joan-
nine, where he had collected 400 barrels of gun-
powder, with the resolution, if overpowered, of
destroying himself and all his followers. From
Constantinople little is added to our previous infor-
mation. Nothing can equal the honours and anent i.•tt
paid to our Ambassador, Lord Strangthrd, when he
passed through the streets to his audiences with the
Grand Vizier and the Grand Seignor. He was
accompanied, it is said, by Lady Strangford in na..e
attire, the customs of the Turks not permitting tl.e
limn& costume to appear on public occasions. Be-
sides the Patriarch of Constantinople and his suc-
cessors, who fell victims to the suspicion of par:Li-
paling in the Greek insurrectson, another preLie,
it is said, who exercised at a former period the few:-
lions of head of that church, but resigned them, has
also fallen hy the hand of the executioner.

Letters from Vienna of the pith ult. comm.mi-
cate intelligence from Bucharest of the 3d inst. witli
further details of the state of the Greek insurre.l.Ja
in that quarter. Front a country where no gaza.!cs
or official reports are published, all intelligence must
be received with distrust, and no statements beli..ved
without some internal evidence of their truth. It
seems probable, however, from these letters, tiiat
the horrible cruelties committed by the Tullis on
entering Bucharest, when all the Greeks they could
succeed in capturing were impaled alive, have
awakened a spirit in the adjoining provinces of
Bosnia and Servia, which may still find employment
thr the Turkish army in the northern provinces, and
even raise the sinking fortunes of Ypsilanti. The
Sarvians arc said to have attacked and destroyed on
the Danuhe, between Porowitz and Kaldora, a
Turkish battalion of 800 men who were on their
march to join the main army. Ypsilanti, it is now
stated, has entrenched himself at Tergowischi, where
he ss as daily joined by large numbers of tecruits,
irritated by the barbarities and depredations of the
Turks. Near Bucharest, which is the head-quarters
of the Turkis4 oray, a firce of 22,000 men, of
whom one-half are cavalry, is encamped ; they only
awaited the arrival of Jussuf, Paella of Ibruil, front
Jassay to attack the main body of the Greeks.—
Letters received by Greek houses at Vienna repre-
sent the state of attars in a much tlivourable light
for their countrymen ; augmenting the extent of
the insurrection in that part of Turkey, and de-
scribing the Turkish army as without discipline,
and in danger of Laing cut oil from its resources
We believe, howeser, front u comparison of state-
ments, that, north of the Danube, the chances of
war arc, in its prasent stage, against the Greeks,
though the imposing Turkish force employait against
them proves that their strength even there is greattr
than had been imagined
NAPLES, JUNE 6.—Yesterday the King, retired

jesty needs repose, having comentraten the greater
