' to expose him to some penalties, but what they are was not
stated. What is curious; however, is, that the Procureur-
General
stated, " that the whole proceedings would be an-
nulled if it were established that General Berton was not de
fended by a Counsel." We know not how this will end, it
General Berton read an animated paper in his own defence,
without any Counsel speaking in his behalf. We cannot give
even an extract, but 'he denied that La Fayette, Sebastiani, and.
other Deputies were Members of the,directing committee, and
forcibly exposed the wickedness of the insinuation that M.
Lailitte had supplied the conspirators with money. _lle com
plained of the vexations to which lie had been subjected in
prison ; and compared the treatment he had suffered to the mode
in which Santerre had treated Louis XVI on the way to the
scaffold. Ile compared the act of accusation to the proscription
list of the Dictator Sylla ; and hoped that the Jury would not
act like Sylla's Lictors : but whatever might be the result, his
motto would be

Duke et decorum est pro patria mori.

FRANKFORT, SEPT. 2.—An account from the
frontiers of Moldavia, of the 18th of August,
says, " The ordinary post from Jassy, of the 14th,
has brought letters which confirm the statements
brought on the 12th by express. Above a quarter
of that unfortunate city is reduced to ashes. The
letters leave no doubt of the return of the Janis-
sarirs to Jassy ; but while many openly act:use
them as the authors of the fire, others say it was
occasioned by an accident."
Scio contained about 120,000 souls. By the
census lately made by the Pacha, there remain
in the whole island only about 900 persons, and

the contagion threatened to carry them all orr.—
On the 23d of July there remained 150 persons
in the Consulate of France, but 20 of them died
daily. The dead were no longer buried in the
city, but thrown pell-mell into a ruined Greek
Church, near the French Consulate. Almost the
whole population of the Mastic villages has emi-
grated ; in some there remain only a few old
women. A finnan of the Sultan has been received
at Scio, which formally declares, that all the
Greeks who are at Scio, and those who shall
return thither, are not only free, but are fully
authorised to take immediate possession of their
lands and property. Alas ! Scio will soon be
only a sepulchre, and in this field of death the
Imperial bounty 'will hardly find a few wretches
to whom it can give a supporting hand. The
epedemic seems to become daily more malignant.
Ten piastres must be paid for removing a dead
body ; for the man who consents to perform
this office is generally seized with the disorder
the following day. The Pacha himself is at
present ill.

The crop of mastic, corn, and grapes was

never more abundant. It' has been necessary to
send 600 Greeks from Chesme to labour in
these deserted fields, where nature has been as
liberal and bountiful as man has been barbarous.

The Egyptian and Barbary flotilla has captured
eleven small Greek vessels, and brought them
into the port of Scio. The captains only have
been put to death—the crews are prisoners, and
have been put in irons. [here follows' the ac-
count of what happened, at Athens at the time of
the capitulation, and ‘, the conduct of the French.),
A part of the Greeks of Athens has fled to Sa-

!mills and lea, the others have shut themselves
up in the citadel. On the 18th of July, it was
said, that the Turks were only four leagues from
Athens.—(Journal de Frankfort, Sept. 3.)
