the diplomatists at Constantinople. The final
result will prcbably be a great catastrophe for the
Turkish empre. Odysseus and Diamante so
much menaceSalonica, that the report was cir-.
culated at Constantinople that it had actually
surrendered. There are disturbances in Arme-
nia, in Mesopotamia, and in Syria. In the latter
province, the ?acha of St. Jean d'Acre, who has
declared himself independent, has taken by force
of arms a tribate of 800 purses which was go-
ing to the Porte, and hr, is preparing for the of-
fensive. On tL.e side of Persia, the Schah has
arrived at Kenmanschah, and menaces Bagdad
with a formidalle army. After the conquest of
Scio, the Capitan Pacha set out for Samos, in or-
der to inflict ..he same fate upon that island,
which is not less rich or less flourishing. The
number of Scioies killed with arms in their hands
is estimated at 16,000, and that of the unfortu-
nate persons who were massacred, though they
took uo part in the insurrection, at 40,000. The
ruin at Scio has spread terror in the Levant, and
menaces with Lew dangers the wealthiest Greek
merchants.

TRIESTE, MAy IL—Thirty European families
arrived here the day before yesterday from Scio,
and are now in quarantine. They state that the
carnage was dreadful, and that the greatest part of
the women have been carried off,and are to be con-
veyed to Asia ; the men have been massacred,
and the children have been preserved, in order
to compel them to adopt the religion of Mahomet.
AIIGSBUItG, MAY .21.—:--The Project relative to
a Congress respecting the affairs of Turkey, has
been finally rejected by the Court of Russia.—
Letters from Venice state, that great .prepara-
tions were making by. the Capitan Pacha to effect
a debarkation at. Hydra. He proposed to de-
stroy the military magazines there, as well as the
Hellenist flotilla in the port of Hydra. He was,
however, detained by the vigorous resistance op-
posed to him at Samos. The Hydriotes, more-
over, have adopted measures of defence ; all the
divisions of the Greek fleet have united, and in-
tend to meet the Capitan Pacha, notwithstanding
his superiority of force.
BRUSSELS, MAY 27.—Her Royal Highness
the Princess of Orange, and the young Prince are
doing well.
It is thought that the project for alienating the
domains will be strongly opposed in the second
chamber by the Deputies of the northern provinces.

VIENNA, MAY 20.--News from Wallachia and
Moldavia, at the beginning of the present month,
communicate the following information :

On the Ist there arrived at Bucharest a toter (a courier)
who communicated to Kiaja Pacha important orders. The
,Pacha proceeded on the evening of the same day. in company
with the Commissary-Inspector Hadschi Einin Aga, in haste
to Silistria. Before he departed, however, he ordered the
chiefs of the Asiatic troops to be assembled, and commanded
them to hold themselves in readiness for their departure to-
wards home.—On the 4th inst. the Commissary-Inspector re-
turned from Silistria to Bucharest, and on the following day
early proceeded in great haste to Jassy. On the 6th Kiaja
Pacha returned and renewed the orders which before his de-
parture he had given for a retreat. On the same day, officers of
Government were posted on the roads which lead from Bucharest
and Fokshan to Silistria, who were charged to prepare for the
accommodation and provisioning of the retiring troops. On.
the Bth instant they began their march homewards. A di-
vision, consisting ot` five hundred and seventy-four Tartars,
formed the van ; early orsthentorning of the 9th there moved
away a column of r,OO Asiatica, who were to be followed daily by
an equal number till the whole of the unpaid troops shall be.
withdrawn. The numbei of paid troops remaining behind will
.likewise inemediately:hegintheir ;retreat, as the Porte has resolv-
ed to withdrew the united. forces :from both principalities. In
Jassy, on the 3d inst. a Erman, at first kept private, was receiv-
ed, which, however early on the following day excited the uni-
versal expectation Of the departure of the Turkish troops, for
which event the people were prepared by the transfer of the ar-
tillery to Silistria, which had a few days before arrived from
Brabiloiv at Jassy. The arrival on the sth of the Commissary-
lnspfictor • from Bucharest, will lead to the execution of the
same orders in Moldavia which have already taken place in
Walachia. Connected with these events in Bucharest and
Jassy, we have received the following intelligence, in addition
to the news from Constantinople of the 2fith of April, com-
municated in our paper of the 14th instant. On the 11th of
April, the Capitan Packs sent a flag of truce to the island of
Soo, inviting the insurgents to lay down their arms, and accept
of the amnesty, and requiring their decision on his proposals
within the space of eight hoars. They rejected all, and bade
defiance to danger, whilst they directed their fire against the
citadel. The Turkish garrison repulsed them, and as the
ships which they had used as transports had taken to flight at
the moment when the Turkish fleet approached them, the
Capitan Pacha, without loss of time, landed 9,000 men. The
insurgents on the island were thils placed between two fires.
The garrison descended upon them from the citadel, and the
troops who had landed attacked them in the rear. In a few
hours they had lost all their artillery, consisting of twenty
field pieces, which were turned against them. All farther
resistance was fruitless. The battle, so long as it lasted, was
solely maintained by. the Sciotes; for the Samians, who set
on foot the expedition, had found means to escape the
battle, and had re-embarked at A distant part of the island.
The damage done at Scio is great, and scarcely to be estimated.
On the 13tha measure was adopted at Constantinople on the part
of the Government,. which must contribute not a little to tran-
quillize the minds of the Christians. The Tersana-Kiajani
who, during the absence of the Capitan Pacha, superintends
the administration of policein the capital, received from the
Porte an order to take under his special protection tile religious
festivals of the Gieeks during Easter,and was made responsi-
ble that neither the Greeks nor the Armenians should receive
any disturbance cr. molestati6h during.- the solemnity. The
consequence was, that not only. in the Greek and Armenian
churches, all the religious ceremonies, professions, and obser-
vances, were conducted with the most perfect peace and order,
but the festivities which followed viiire-enjoyed by the Greeks
in their old style, and in the moat uninterrupted tranquillity.—
On the 21st of April the Patriarch was invited to the palace of
the Sultan. As this was the anniversary of a lamentable event,
the circumstance 'excited-tiniteersal interest. When he appear-
ed, he was loaded with encomiums by one of the Ministers of
the Porte, on aceount of some: judicial decision which he had
pronounce
d ; and received in the name of the Sultan another
considerable donation for the repairof the damaged cathedral
church. He was after Wards directed to produce a list of allthe
Sciotes then resident in the capital, distinguishing the married
from the unmarried- .The former are to.remain in Constanti-
nople, the latter are to be sent to Asia. The new dragoman of
the Porte, Jahia Effendieis not a native of Corfu, as has been
said, but of Gallipoli, and has been 30 years converted to
Islamism. He is a man seventy years of age, and as he is be-
lieved not to be a perfect master of the European languages, he
is to have a Secretary of the Armenian persuasion, named
Semi Manasse, a person of great knowledge. Thus Jahia
Effendi, although invested with the Kaftan, is only Vice
Dragoman.—(Austrian Observer.)
