per Cents., for cash, to the amount of 85c., and in

come and render to the Turks what they shall have
done to the Greeks. A Greek having met a kavasse
in the street fired a pistol at him. The kavasse
drew his yatagan to strike the Greek. Greeks
and. Turks interfered in the matter, and the
whole city was divided . into two camps. Last
evening the Governor had a Greek advocate ar-
rested, who was publicly preaching up in the
cafes revolt against the Government. He took
for pretext the Jews, and affirmed that he had
in his possession books which proved that the
Jews offered up the blood of Christians to their
God at the festival of Easter. The advocate being
a Greek who was not subject to the Porte, the
Governor could not punish him, but he informed
the Greek Consul of what had occurred, request-
ing to have him punished according to the Greek
laws. In the Island of Chaleis, near Constantino-
ple, an insurrection burst out during Easter, and
occasioned much disorder. Selim-Bey was obliged
to disperse the combatants with firearms, and on
this occasion the Greeks were more or less badly
wounded. At Iconium, in the Island of Marmora,
disorders still more sanguinary took place. The
Greeks have no bells to their churches ; they make
use of planks, on which they strike with a hammer.
The Turkish troops desired to prevent that noise
being made, and at last they carried the church by
storm, tore down the planks, broke the sacred
vessels, and maltreated the priests. On both sides
there were dead. and. wounded. Troops came after-
wards from Constantinople to restore order. An
investigation has been ordered into the matter.
The Turkish Government does all it can to preserve
tranquillity and avoid scandal."
