GREECE.

The Trieste journals have accounts from Athens,
of the Ist, which fully confirm what had been
stated relative to the defeat of the insurgents in
Thessaly and the Epirus. After the defeat at Pla-
tanas, 4,000 insurgents assembled at Domiko where
they were attacked by Zamil Paella at the head of
1,500 Turks, and completely routed. The insur-
gent chief, Satzi-Karatassa, who had landed at
Sikio, in Macedonia, was attacked by land and
sea, and all his vessels were sunk. The courier
from Missolonghi had brought information to
Athens that Javellas had fled, and that Zako-
Milio had been taken and shot.
The German Journal of Frankfort states that
the representatives of the four great powers in the
Conferences of Vienna ha(! a meeting last week at
the residence of the Minister for Foreign Affairs,
on the subject of Greece, and that the full accord
of the Austrian Cabinet was given for intervention.
The taking of Peta has produe d already an
effect. From nearly all the villages in the neigh-
bourhood they have sent meu to declare their
readiness to submit, and there can be no doubt
that the following clever proclamation of Fuad
Effendi will have a very good effect :
"Circular of his Excellency Fuad E:Tendi to the Inhabi-

tants of various-Caza (districts) :
"The Commissary Plenipotentiary of his Imperial Ma-
jesty the Sultan, in Epirus and Thessaly, to the Most
Hon. the Clergy, the Primates. the Muebiri (chief
men), and in general to all the Christian inhabitants
of the district—

" We announce that Peta, the stronghold of these ill-
intentioned persons, who, having lately entered into
these lands, disturbed the tranquillity of the inhabitants,
exists no more. It has been destroyed to-day in one
hour by the bravery of the Imperial troops, and those of
the above-mentioned individuals who could save them-
selves have dispersed, having for the most part gone to
the place where they came from.
" I call, therefore, upon those among you, the inha-
bitants of the villages, who having been deceived by
these people have risen in insurrection and seemed hith-
erto connected with the same--some from fear of the
authorities, others forced by the disturbers, and others
influenced by their mischievous counsels—knowing now
the fate of the village of Peta, to come to yourselves,
think of the position in which you are, and return to the
right way, straying from which you were running to-
wards your ruin.
" You who fear to suffer from the severity of the
authorities, banish all fear from your hearts ; you who
Were forced, call upon the Imperial forces for help ; and
you who hope still to succeed in realizing your vain
hopes, think seriously, and look at the evils which your
error is likely to entail upon you. In one word, all
those of you who, in whatever way, have participated in
the insurrectionary movements, hear the paternal voice
Which calls you to embrace peace, tranquillity, and
Prosperity, and hasten to demand the pardon which we
are ready to accord to you for all that you have done,
willing or unwilling.
"We give the period of a week, within which you
Must send to us two persons from every village to ten-
der your submission to the Imperial Government ; be
sure that I myself, and with me all the civil and military
authorities in this place, will receive you with that bene-
volence and clemency which are in accordance with the
high will of our most merciful Sovereign, and you will
enjoy in full tranquillity and security the fruits of obe•
dience and submission to your legitimate Government.
" But. if even in future some villages disobeying these
Our summons should remain in insurrection, in that case
I shall find myself in the most regrettable necessity to
adopt such strong measures as will certainly be followed
by immense evils.
"Let the inhabitants of those villages, whom the dis
turbers do not leave free to do their own will, but whom'.
they force to insurrections, let them take up arms against
those enemies of their tranquillity, let them beat and
drive them away. Such conduct wi.l be considered by
us as the greatest proof of their submission and fidelity
towards their Government.
" Knowing this, hasten to do that which is counselled
to you, for the love of your families and the welfare of
your fatherland. _ _

THE DANUBE.

A letter from Bucharest states that on the 28th
ult. the siege batteries opened a fire on Rustchuk,
but the Turks did not reply to it.

MONTENEGRO.

The correspondent of the „V oniteur, writing from
Belgrade on May Ist, says :--" The day before yes-
terday Mr. Colquhoun, the English Consul, passed
through here, coming from Wallachia ; he is going
on a mission extraordinary to Bosnia, Herzegowina,
and to Montenegro. He desires to prevent any
armed rising iu these provinces agiinst the Turks."
The Lloyd of Vienna says :—" We learn that
the Vladika of Montenegro has abandoned the de-
sign of making war on the Turks. On the ener-
getic representations of Austria, the Cabinet of St.
Petersburg has given orders to Prince Danito to
remain quiet, and to avoid any collision with the
Turks:,
