" Letters from Samos give us interesting &tat&
of the late political e7ents in that island.
" The Samians had long feared they would be
deprived of a liberty for which they had made suds
sacrifices during the period of eight years. The,
decision was made known to them so long.age
December, 1828, by the Captain of the Pomone'
frigate, then off Seio, the castle of which was be-
sieged by the Greeks. The Simians, in despair, en-
deavoured to find support in Europe. Their en-
deavours were fruitless, and the determination of
the frontier, made on the 4th of January, condemns
them to return under the yoke of the Sultan. On
the 10th of May last, Turkish Commissioners, cc-
companied by some soldiers, suddenly landed at the'
ancient port of Tigani, near the ancient town of
Samos. They went to Cora, the usual residence of
the Governors of the Island, for the purpose of
getting the authority of the Sultan acknowledged-
" The pretensions of these agents were disre-
garded, and their arrival was the signal of an insur-
rection, which, though now suppressed, cannot be
considered as wholly subdued. The Greeks at-
tacked and disarmed the Turkish soldiers, the Com-
missioners were arrested, and a proclamation pots-
fished in the Island produced a great effect.,
The whole population took up arms, and notice
of this event was sent to the Greek Govern-
ment by the Samian Captains. The central go-
vernment immediately sent an .extraordinary agent
to Samos, and took all necessary measures to stop
this insurrection. The Turkish Commissioners andt
soldiers were conducted in safety to Asia. On this
occasion the Samians showed their moderation andi
wisdom. The Greek agent contented himself with'
requesting the Turkish Commissioners not to. return,
to the island till the fate of Samos and its inhabi-
ta►►ts shall have been finally regulated by the Allied
Powers and the Porte.

DESPERATE RIOT.

(From a Correspondent.)

The town of Barnet has for some days been a scene of
much distress, from the accumulation of poor Irish detained
there, deprived by bad weather of employment as hay-
makers. The generosity of Mr. Byng and other gentle-
men, who have subscribed liberally for their relief, had
hitherto kept them quiet, but the late. change of the
weather having afforded the meansof support, the ordinary
distributions were this day discontinued. The conse-
quence was, much disappointment on the part of the Irish,
and at five o'clock yesterday nearly 2,000 met together
aid surrounded the premises of a gentleman residing in
Hadley, demanding an order for bread, and threatening
vengeance in the event of a refusal. The leader, ha—
ranguing this mob, declared, that he well knew there were
400 loaves in the town, arid that the result of non-comr
phanee would be, to compel force.
The gentleman in question thought firmness a duty, and
refused the request. The cry of " Bread, or blood,"
was then raised, and the neighbouring shops were imme-
diately broken into, the property scattered, aid the lives of
the proprietors threatened. The confusion that ensued is
not to, be described, and but for the firmness and prompt
assistance of the respectable inhabi'ants of the place, much
damage and loss of life must have ensued.
Mr. Hill, the high constable, assisted by W. Andrews,
Eql., R. Tapster, Esq., and others, formed a force
amounting to about 200, who, after a short but desperate
fight, succeeded in securing seven or eight of the ring-
leaders, and drove the main body from' the town. The
exertions of the victorious party did not stop here, but the
outskirts of the town were searched, and although a very
furious resistance ensued, and pitchforks and knives pro-
duced in defiance, the parties were at length overcome.
The violence of the country people against the Irish was
to great, that much exertion was necessary to save them
from their anger. As it is, it is thought that many of then'
intuit be seriously hurt.
At nine o'clock the town was not quiet, arid serious
