GERMAN AND DUTCH PAPERS.

VIENNA, SEI'T. 1.-By the last accounts from
Constantinople of the 10th of August, it appears
that news had been received there from the Mores
and Livadia, which state that the imperial troops
Ills succeeded in dsriving the insurgents from some
districts of those provinces, and in restoring tran-
quillity there. The details are contained in the
tidlowing extract fxtn a report of. Mahomed
Governor of the Murea, to the Grand Vi s er, of 23d
July

•1 inform your Excellency that I arrived before
Livadia on the e3d of June, and encamped here
with my nutty. The Rajas bad murdered the
greater part •of the Nlussulmen in this province,
violated the fernoles, and made their families slaves.
They persisted in their rebellion, and when they
learned that troops were advancing against them,
the insurgents of the surrounding districts united
with those who formed the'r advanced posts in the
Morea, and entrenched themselves in Livadia. To
prevent the desolation of the county. and to treat
them with moderation, I sent several flogs of truce
to them ; summoning them to avoid the impending
misfortune, and declaring to them, that if they
would stibmit,. they might expect security and par-
don of what had passed from the Sub:ime Porto.
" Without pang the slightest attention to this
generous offer, the insurgents agreed together that
they would not suffer themselves to be considered as
Rajas in future, and began a fire of cannon and
musketry limn the fort and entrenchments.
"Early in the morning the army drew up in three
lines, and began the battle. Victory declared for
the hlussultneu , and the greater part of the Insur-
gents were cut to pieces. Qf those who remained
about i.OOO escaped into the fort; and 1..500 re-
treated with their attar into the houses. One or
two. of those houses were sat on fire to make room
forilie van of the army, and, if nevestroy to stem
the place; A high wind suddenly arising, spread
the flames; the insurgents who bad fled into the
houses were the victims, and almost the half of the
large and handsome buildings were consumed. It
was with didieulty that those on the top of the
mountains were sdved. As the Oro caught the house
in which I myself was, I was olkged to remove ro
another.

' On the day of my arrival before Livat'la,
certain chieftain, Dissuvo, had htit the. city, and
collected a band of rebels a mile and a bolt' oil. It
was therefore necessary to talkie measures to binder
them from coming to the aid of the insur,,,iients shut
up in the fen. For this poi pose caused %dirge
to be attacked with 2,000 men, The enemy was
entirely defeated; ILO dead, and as many %waded,
remained on the Uhl, When the enemy shut up
iu the fort sttw there was no deliverance for them,
they threw themselves iu despair from the ramparts
—seine were killed, anti others drcadfally mutilated.
Those that were still in the fortress begged titr
mercy for themselves, their wives and cliiklren, and
it was granted to them.
‘' In this engagement there have perished in all
above 3,000 of the enemy, partly by the sword and
Fatly by the flames, As the Koran stty6, When
thou bast gained a victory over thy enemy, thou
shalt pardon him. in order to testify thy gratitude,'
the remainder of the insurgents could reckon on the
magnanicaky and mildness of the Sublime forte,
winch was in fact show,' towards them when they.
declared their Submission, anti bogged permission to
return to their Iwase2. A 13aluk Bastin was ordered
for this oupose, with a detachment of troops, to
receive them ut the castle, anti to conduct them back.
to their civvellings. This was done in solemn pra-
t...sewn, amidst ate acclamations of the conquerors,
,sieving before' them tho standards tuken tuna the
rebels."

At Smyrna tranquility is restored. Sonta Nuova
and Metelin, on the contrary, aro the theatre of the
most sanguinary beene.i.
Near sidonichi.thcro is likowiso u bond of insur•
gents, which the Paella of that town 13 ordered to
i4sperse and destroy, The Turkish fleet lately seen
cat !Samos is said to have gone to Rhodes, to join the
sluatirpn fitted eat by Malwmet Ali, Paella of
hiypt. This squadron is stated to consist of 15
'lit, and to to manned chiefly with European sailors ;
it Is commanded by Istniel Gibraltar, the same who
%as formerly the Patio's agent In Sweden and

Leghorn. He is said to be an able seaman, and
even to have fin.nerly served on board English ships.
Ibrahim, Pacha of Brussa, is still encamped near
Bujukedcre, on the Bosphoi as ; he has received
fresh reinforcements of troops from Asia. One of
the frst officers of this Pacha has been lately pro-
moted, and has lately received the horse-tails. There
have been r'so restored two other Paellas, who were
lately deposed ; one of them received the govern-
ment of Candia, with orders to restore tranquillity
in that island.
The installation of the Keduelters of Remelia and
Anatolia took place at Constantinople in the begin-
ning of August. Sikedi Effendi obtained the first
of these places, and Bebict Effendi, formerly the
Sultan's physician, the second.
Among the most remarkable works of the late
days is the execution of V eli Pacha, and Monitar
Paella of Joannina. The first was in exile at Ku-
Will ' • and the second at Kaisserige. A Greek, dis-
guisod as a Dervise, served there us a spy ; he was
attested at Constantinople, and the correspondence
found on him betrayed the secret of the sons of the
tyrant of Epirus.
The royal Freneli iligate the Lily has brought to
Smyrna Rear-Admiral Hulgan; he immediately
hoisted his flag on board La Giterricie.
The Turkish ministry has faiklifully kept its word,
and not thrown the sli:;htest obstacle in the way of
Baron Strogonuff's departure. Firmans, it is true,
were refused, as has been stated befure, because the
Porte would not in the least have the appearance of
conceiaing in the step; but tho commandantsof the
forts received the strictest orders to respect, and suf-
fer to pass without hindrance, the ships which had
the Ambassador and his ;mite on board.

At Constantinople perfect tranquillity prevailed;
the embargo previously laid on all v3ssels laden with
corn had been teen off by an order of the Sultan ;
the navigation el' the channel is therefore uninter-
rupted, as it used to be.
The events Alai most European journals have
announced with so much confidence—such as the
participation of the Jews in the dreadful excesses
committed on the dead body of the Patriarch; the
violation of 160 Greek virgins in the Baser: and
so many other reports, are wholly unkowa in Con-
stantinople, and absolutely fixtions, originating in
other countries. The heads of the Jewish com-
munity at Cpnatantinople have even taken public
steps to refute the reports relativp to their nation.

George Gordon Gunn sworn.-1 live at No. 10, Charlton-

on the day of the procession of the Queen's funeral. I Was not
five minutes away from her Majesty's state carriage front halts
past eight i i the mot n;-11 to five in the evening. Ac we were
going through Hyde Para to Cemlwrland Gate the fist thing I
saw was two of the Luc Guards, ortlertd by a s,.tje int to go up
and clear Cumberland Gate. The soldiers went tevorli ig to
orders to the Gate, and us they rode up to she Gate, they knocked
flown several people.—Then the ctitas of " Shame !" and
" Murder!" were made. When the procession rime to the
Gate, it was stopped about Emir minutes, and then an :Coy began
about opening the Gate. I saw two pe..ce officers with their
staves endmvottring to open the Gate. They <menet' it, and a
party of the Life Life Guards came tiding up Para Lane. At the
same tittle the Guards were riding about keeping the people from
the Gate, which was opened, and the hearse went tl -nosh. The
procession halted about 1G yards from the Gate. When they
Were halted, a shower of stones and brickbats was flying front
the top of Oxford Street towards the precession. 1 then saw an
officer belonging to the Life Guards ride up as hard as he could
drive, and fire. I saw a man fell when he tired. Before the officer
came, I got olf the near fore wing of the state eat riage. When
the man tell, another shower of stones GUM from Tyburn Turn
They were, however, Hying about from every quarter,—
Then I saw the Life Guards form a sort of circle in the street.—
Atter doing so, an officer erne and gave them the worn of core
hand, when they sheathed their swords, and every ma's, as tar
as I saw took a pistol, and all rode off towards the Etlgewarc
Road, except two men and a serjeant, Ido not know whether
he was serjennt or corporal. Mote stones were then flying about,
and the three remaining men loaded their pistols anti rode away
towards Oxford-street. One of them tired. I did not see the
other two fie. The cry then was "Go on with the procession."
They accordingly did so. Part of the Lite Grantsmen rode on,
and the Blues come up. When they Caine up they rode after
the Guards as fast as they could ride (lowa the Edgeware Road.
The procession te"owtal. The Guards rode d0t...) the second
or first turning to the right 'n Edgeware Road. and I saw no
more of the Lite Guards that day. The witness did not bee a

magistrate.
Examined by Mr. Green.—He saw a t.ompeter that day, a
young man : he thought he shoe,tl know hint rgain ; did not
observe him in conversation with the officer at the Gate. Saw
many stones thrown, but no glass broken. Did not see my of
the multitude cut by stones. They came up the Park vety fast.
henry Clanks Elscgood sworn. I am a sugoon residing in
Park-street, Oxford-street. On the day of the Queen's funeral
I was at Lord Bagot's w:ralow, at least an hour before the hearse
r tine. On the procession coming up, the soldiers tinmed within
the Park. The fist thing I saw was one of the Life Guards
holding the bridle of a horse, rude by a man in plain clothes;
he was leading it through the gate. One of the Life Guards at
the same time stuck the man with the flat of his sword. Ilat.rg
got the man through, the gate was immet'iately ,shut. At this
time the throwing of stones conintenced at the gates. I had seen
stones previously throw ain the Park. The soldiers led the man
on horseback out of the Park into Oxford.strect. The resistance
in shutting and opening the gate was creat at that time, and
several people were cut by the soldiers anu constables. The gates
being opened, the remaining ten soldiers in the Park mused Into
Oxtintl-street, and begun to clear tha street. lat dna time par-
ticularly noticed a man whit a flag, who seemed highly delighted
at having the course of the procession changetl. Ile shouted,
and waved his flag in triumph. There was at this time a cessa-
tion of throwing stones for a few minutes. It had not, however,
entirely subsided. In this state of quietude, I was led to say to
b one person near me, .• they arc reading the riot act." Imme-
diately after I saw a flash, and heard the report of tire arms on
the other side Tyke n Gate. I particularly noticed three shots
in Ot furd-stteet, in the threction of Et. Giles's.
