LONDON:MONDAY, JUNE 4.
Three o'clock, p.m.

The Paris papers of Thursday contain afflicting
.accounts of the merciless atrocities of the Turks, and
the progress of the war of extermination between
them and the Greeks. The fanaticism of the fbrener
urges them to commit the most barbarous excesses,
and neither women nor children escape their rage,
as nothing can allay their thirst for human blood-
These infuriated barbarians have spread slaughter
and dismay throughout Constantinople—no Chris-
tian is wait, neither are the Foreign Ambassadors
exempt from their insults and outrage. Their con-
duct is so ti:rocious and appalling, that there is now
great probability that Foreign Powers will be
aroused, if not prevented by the apprehension that
their interference would be considered as au attack
upon legilitnaey, or as abetting the Greek insurrec.
tion, the latter being so very repugnant to the
refined feelings of the Holy Alliance.
An article from Constantinople states, that a corps
of 5000 Janixarioi proceeded on the .‘2sth of April
for Warns. They embarked at Tuphana, and in
ascending the Bosphorus, bitrut and pillaged, with-
out distinction, houses belonging to Turks and
Greeks. They plundered the palace of the Spanish
Embassy, and two Spaniards lost their lives.—M.
Souton, Counsellor of the Russian Embassy, only
ir.ved his mansion by throwing handfuls of gold
from the windows. The Russian flag, eying on his
hotel, was pierced with balls. The Greeks at
Smyrna had fled to the mountains; the Turks had
set lire to the Grand Bazaar of the Jews, which was
entirely consumed; the Franks 1114 removed, with
their effects, on board the vessels in the harbour. A
body of 500 Turks from Lepanto landed at Patrus in
the night of the 13th April. They were attacked
by the Greeks, who destroyed nearly half of them.
The remainder succeeded in joining the Turks in
the castle.
The examination of witnesses before the French
Court of Peers still continues, on the prosecution
against the conspirators of last August; and the
Chamber of Deputies have for the last week been
engaged in discussing the proposed law respecting
pensions. Pozzo di Borgo, the Russian Ambessadsr
to the Court of France, is arrived in Paris.
The French Five per Cents..left off on Wednesday
at 841. 20e. ; Bank Stock, 1,277 f. 50e.

The fall of Lima, as announced some days ago, has
been doubted, in consequence of accounts received

subsequent to those• which brought the 1.415. vs hav-
ing made no reference to the fact. Advices however
reached VolpeCaizo, on the 2fith December, stating
that the Liberating Army of Peru bad defeated the
Royal Forces, under Ciener,il O'Reilly, with great
loss. O'Reilly liiinself was made prisoner, and his
army dispersed. It was doubted at first whether
this was not a rumour of the first slight action which
took place, but on a comparison of the dates thore
is reason to give full credit to the report, and it' so,
Lima must consequently fall immediately.
