having lost his army, artillery, baggage, and even

ODEssA, Dix. 2.—We have news from Con=
stantinople up to 25th November, according to
which that capital- is the theatre of the most
dreadful excesses. On the 23d of November,
according to letters worthy of credit, the Aus-
trian and English Ambassadors,. Count Lutzow
and Lord Strangford, had a conference with the
Reis Effendi, and, endeavoured to induce him to
accept the Russian Ultimatum. The two Am-
bassadors had then. an audience of the Sultan
himself, but, -as it is affirmed, to no purpose. His
'Sublimity is said, to have declared that the privi-
leges which belong to the Greek nation by exist-
ing Treaties cannot be renewed, and in general
the demands of the Russian Emperor can in no
case be granted : that the extirpation 'of the
Greeks is resolved upon, and they must all be
destroyed from the face of the earth.

When these diplomatists were returning home,
accompanied by a numerous escort of Janissaries,
they were, (according to our letters) grossly in-
sulted by the furious Turks, who fired the whole
afternoon with pistols at the hotel of Lord Strang-
ford. The Sultan had in vain caused the people
to be called upon to cease these excesses ; the
Janissaries had, on the contrary, uttered the most
dreadful imprecations against the Sultan and his
Ministers, who, they said, had promised them for
above these six months past the plunder of the
quarter of the Franks in Pera. Such are our
latest accounts, which have been sent by couriers
to St. Petersburgh.
HERMANSTADT, DEC. 9.—The accounts from
Moldavia and SVallachia are full of details of
murders and atrocities committed by the Turks.
On the Ist of this month several Ottoman Of-
ficers arrived from Constantinople at Jassy. All
affirm that the Porte has rejected ail the demands
of Russia. These Officers in their vain boasting
already talk of nothing less than reconquering
the Crimea.

Every Iv here the Christian Churches are
spoiled. The Church plate is the prey of the
Asiatic soldiers, who carry it about the streets
in triumph. The nuns, and the priests are ill-
treated
,or sold ; in short, every 'day is marked
by new horrors.
linusstr.s, Dr.c. 26, Yesterday afternoon
three couriers from Paris passed through here,
on their way to Holland. En the night two
English Cabinet messengers passed through ; one
from St. Petersburgh to London, the other from
London to Vienna.

M. Mauback has just surrendered himself pri-
soner, to answer before the Court of Assize to
the accusations which concern him in the affair
of the Vial Liberal. It is on the 15th January
that the Court will proceed to the trial of
Messrs. Collette and Oits, the printer and editor
of the Vral Liberal, accused of having attempted
to excite troubles in the kingdom.

On the 3d of January the Court will try
Charles Gneaux, for threatening violence against
the person of the King.

LEGUORN, Nov. 30.—Considerable sums of
money have been sent by the Greek merchants
settled in Russia to the Greek Archbishop at
Pisa, and with this aid Hajioponlo sailed from
hence to Greece. He was accompanied by many
young Greeks of the so-called Sacred Band, and
several youths from Germany and other parts of
cultivated Europe, who all wished to hasten to
the assistance of Greece. Their depm..ture was
like an expedition ; they embarked for the Morea
in the first place, where Hajioponlo means to
form a separate regular corps. He has summoned
those Germans who wish to repair to Greece to
take a part in the present struggle, to attach
themselves to his corps, as he would do every
thing to make their situation as easy as possible.
By his side they would find a German Officer
acting in union with him, Captain 0. Von Hobe,
who will be ready to assist his German brethren
in particular with word and deed. Accounts of
the taking of Tripoliza affirm that the Greeks
there acted with the greatest valour, that many
thousand Turks and 600 Jews were cut down,
and that much property fell into the hands of the
Greeks. The last successes of the Greeks at
sea are considered as official here; twenty-one
Turkish vessels were partly taken, partly sunk.
Every thing seems to assume more and more an
orderly appearance in the Morea.: a Senate of
26 Members is appointed; and when a better
regulation of the troops has taken place, a corps
will be sent into the other provinces. According
to letters from Corfu, two other places occupied
by the Tut ks have fallen into the hands of the
Greeks.—(Algemeine Zeitung.)

THE GREEKS. GREEKS.

We gave yesterday an extract of a letter from
the Consul at Salonica, containing an account of
the Turks having succeeded in taking Cassandra
on the lath November, after a. feeble resistance
on the part of the Insurgents, who suffered con-
siderably. The number of prisoners taken
_is
not stated, but it is given out, says the writer,
that a vast number of women (some say 10,000)
have fallen into the hands of the Turks; up-
wards of 4000 of whom have been brought to this
town, and are now exhibited for sale to the
highest bid&r.
In opposition to the preceding statement, we
subjoin an account of the same affair, taken. from a
French Paper, which reports a very different re-
sult, much more disastrous to the Turks than
were the four previous discomfitures they suffered
in the same quarter. Time alone will prove
which account is correct; we have,however, con-
fident hopes that the valour displayed by the
Cassandrians on the fprmer occasions, added to
their improved discipline and knowledge of the
art of war, communicated by their European
auxiliaries, will prove to have been again exerted
with the same success that crowned their former
efforts :

ZANTE, Nov. 30.—The Pacha of Salonica, who had been
four times beaten on the frontiers of this Peninsula, re-appeared
on the 20th October (Old Style) with new forces which he had
recruited. Notwithstanding the defeats he had sustained, he
still summoned the Greeks to surrender, offering them, at the
same time, once more the amnesty of the. Sultan. The Turks

pretended that it was only the passage of the isthmus, called the
" Cassandrian Gates," which prevented them from trying the
pretended courage of these infidels; but the (Ire•lcs thought
quite otherwise of this passage, and without answering the pro-
positions of the Pacha, they withdrew into the interior of the
country, leaving the isthniuS free.

The Turks, who observed this retreat; sent sever ::1 detach-
innts to reconnoitre at different times ; and they at length de-
termined to attempt the passage on the 22d October. Seven
thousand. Turks having arrived before the • town of :Cassandra,
which gives its Rama to the Penigsula, found it evacuated by
the inhabitants: A small part of these troops occupied this
town, and the rest encamped before it * ;• the Pacha, who sus_
pected some stratagem on the part of the Greeks, did not person-
ally attempt the passage, but contented himself With occupying
the isthmus at the head of 350 men. The Turks then resolved to
attack the Cassandrians in their positions on the 20th October,
the festival of St. Demetrius, the patron of the country, when
it was concluded they would give themselves up to the customary
pleasures of that day.
The Greek Chiefs on their part had announced, on the eve of
that festival, that next day they were to attack the enemy under
the auspices of the Archistrategos, Saint Demetrius In

fact, at break of day, 600 Greeks,-of whom 300 were A ravnians,
and 200 31adempchorites, rushed down impetuously from the
heights on the isthmus, and dispersed the troops of the Pacha
which guarded it. At the same time, the other troops attacked
with intrepidity the enemy who occupied the town and its
environs on severalpoints. The combat was most obstinate
and most murderous, but at length the Tusks were beaten, and
fled in the directipn of the Isthmus, which they found retaken
by the Greeks. 11lacedi between two fires, they were all de-
stroyed or made prisoners, to the number of nearly 709. - A
part of the town of Cassandra was burnt in this affair.

Such was the issue of this last battle of Cassandra, morefa-
tal to the Turks than the four others which preceded it. The
Paella, informed of the fate of his army by a prisoner, to whom
the Greeks gave liberty for that purpose, returricd in the night
to Salonica, followed by nearly 20Q soldiers.
11 This is no doubt what the Christian. Observer calls the
CAPTURE and SUBMISSION of CASSANDRA, in its COlLUTinsot
the 17th ult.

t The Greek Church gives the epithet of Archistrategos to
St. George and St. Demetrius, who-,vere both, in fact, Generals.

G PRALTA R. PAPERS.

(From the Gibraltar Chronicle of Dec. 10.)
The Commanding and other °dicers of the
regiment del infante Don Antonio, in garrison at
Cordova, have stated in answer to an un-official
letter from the War Minister, inquiring into the
state of discipline of the corps, and whether it
was inclined to support the Constituted Autho-
rities—that their feelings had been severely hurt
by the doubt which these queries implied : that
this doubt had staggered, with respect to Govern-
ment, their determination to die or to live con-
stitutionally free ; and that they found it neces-
sary to renew upon this occasion their profession
of political faith as follows :—That they will, to
their last breath, keep the oath which they have
taken, to maintain the Constitution, that the Con-
stitution which they have sworn to is that which
was made by the Extraordinary Cortes at Cadiz
in the year 1812, without a single iota, more or
less ; that they will obey Government while
the latter and its agents bona fide follow
the constitutional path as expressed by his
Majesty in. a Manifesto: to the Spanish nation ;
and that from this time forward they declare
themselves enemies to any authority, corporation,
or private person, that may make aty attempt
upon the liberties of the country, as set down
in the Constitution, whatever cloak may be put on
by the invader.
The Redactor General, which gives us the
above letter, also brings an order of the day,
issued on the lstinst., by the Officer command-
ing the Battalion of Canarias (light infantry).
This &der draws the officers' and men's atten-
tion to the crooked ways of the Administration,
and after laying doWn that the citizen-soldiers
of 1821 are not those of 1815, expresses a confi-
dent hope that they will maintain the Constitu-
tion which- they have have sworn in all its inte-
grity, such as it was sanctioned by the fathers of
the country in 1812, without ever permitting it
to be altered in any other manner than is pre-
scribed by the Constitution itself, and that they
will be ready gallantly to repulse, if necessary,
the internal enemies who may attempt to under-
mine it.

On the same day Baron Andilla, who, in the
course of the debate on the King's Message in
the Cortes, was charged by one of the Members
for the Province of Cadiz, with having been con-
cerned in certain trials at Valencia, which his
Majesty and the Supreme Council of War hud
disapproved of, applied to the War Minister for
an inquiry into his conduct upon that occasion,
when, as a military man, he was obliged to dis-
charge the duty imposed upon him, and request-
ed that, in the mean time, he might be excused
from exercising any. public functions, until his
complete justification had restored him to that
full confidence which the Authorities ought to
enjoy.

INDIA.

EXTRACT 'OF A LETTER FROM AN• 0 NICER, DATED

JULY 24, 1821, CAMP SUMLiKULPOOII.
" Immediately after I was appointed to the
regiment„we were ordered to take the field along
with four other regiments (making together about
5000 men), against a tribe of outrageous moun-
taineers, called Kooks, who had made war upon
their peaceable neighbours, burnt their villages,
murdered all the inhabitants, and plundered the
whole of the country, These depredators inhabit
a mountainous tract of country, running through
the centre of India, from east to west. We had
to march upwards of six hundred miles before
we got to the point where_the attack was to be
made ; and this wai during the worst season of
the year that men could be. exposed in tents.—
The thermometer stood every day in our tent at
110 and 112, and of some days as high as 122 ;
and when exposed to the sun at noon, it ge-
nerally stood betveen 150 and 160. •We
were absent from oar cantonment four months,
during, which time we were obliged to suffer
many deprivations, besides the heat of the
weather, such as exretne bad mountainous roads,
bad water, and for days together none at all.
The mode of lighting we were obliged to adopt,
to subdue the eneru., was also very harassing to,

our men. For three or fouridays after our arrival
in their country, they gave fl.s battle on the plains;
but finding themselves so dreattfully cut up, and
being able to make no impression Upon us, they
betook themselves to the recesses of their highest
mountains, where we were obliged to follow them,
hunt them down, and kill them like so many
tigers, as -they never allowed themselves to be
taken prisoners while they could keep hold of
their bow and arrow and battle axe. At last,
after several thousands of them being killed, they
accepted our terms of peace, which they had re-
fused several times since the commencement of
the campaign. From what I have here stated,
you will easily perceive the very harassing na-
ture of the expedition to every one concerned.
Out of four medical men that commenced the
Campaign, only one survived the excessive fatigue
that they were obliged to undergo ; so that the
whole of the medical charge devolved upon him.
His exertions (having at one time upwards of 400
sick in the camp) called forth the public thanks
of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief."

addressed the flock assembled there, upon the
folly and danger of their lawless associations, and
the different distressing calamities that follow
such proceedings. Every poor country fellow
seemed grateful for the advice given, and pro-
mised, with one voice, to obey the command of
the above mentioned gentlemen with truth and
perseverance. The Rev. Mr. Kenny, P. P. de-
livered a very excellent discourse on morality in
general, to his congregation at the same chapel,
and we have no doubt, but from the paternal
care and attention, of this Rev. Gentleman, and
from the purity of his example, that he will keep
them in his own even paths.—(Ennis Chronicle.)
Several strangers have lately appeared in this
county ; but they have not escaped the vigilance
of our Magistrates. A few days ago, Edward
Murphy, Margaret Farrell, Anne Moore, and
Anne Breene, not being able .to account satisfac-
torily for themselves, were committed to gaol, as
vagrants, by
_R. Owen, Esq. At the same time,
James Connor was committed to gaol as a va-
grant, by Thomas James, Esq., of Ballycristal.
This fellow, who declined giving any account of
himself, is supposed to be one of three persons
who came into this county a few days previous to
his apprehension, in the garb of beggars, circu-
latina-b among the peaceable inhabitants, letters or
handbills from the disaffected in the counties of
Cork and Limerick.—(lTreajord Paper.)
On the night of Tuesday last, an unoccupied
house which had been formerly held as a tempo-1
rary barrack, at Kilnanagh, in the barony of
Cranagh, was maliciously burned down. The
motive to this outrage, which deprives that vici-
nity of a convenient military station, is sufficiently
obvious.—(Newry lelegraph.)
On Thursday last, the Manorhamilton and
Lurganboy yeomanry corps, under the command
of Colonel Cullen, volunteered their services to
_any part of the kingdom.—(ibid.)
RIOT AT KINGSTOWN.—On Sunday evening, as
Isaac Putty and a party of the Horse Police
were on duty at Kingstown, for the purpose of
protecting the property of a wreck, the Ellen of
Liverpool, a person named Daniel Carroll, was
charged by Mr. G. Drevar with stealing stock-
ings from the wreck ; and, as the Foot Patrole
were escortim: the prisoner to town, they' were
violently attacked by a desperate mob, consisting
of some hundreds of persons, who threw stones
at the Patrole. Several persons in the crowd
exclaimed, " Hallo boys, turn out, rescue the
prisoner, ind stick to your oaths." Christopher
Shalvey was taken with a large stone in his hand,
and has been committed, for aiding and assisting
in said riot, and for an attempt to rescue Carroll.
