" VENICE, APRIL 26.—A vessel arrived to day, which
quitted Mytilene the 13th of April. The grand Turkish fleet
was then at Gallipoli. The fortress of Scio had not, up to that
period, surrendered to the Greeks, who were besieging it by
land and sea.

" TRIESTE, APRIL 30.—We have accounts from Smyrna
to the 14th inst., which give a melancholy picture of the dread-
ful scenes passing there. The Greeks might be said to be
besieged in their houses by the Asiatics, who fired into the
houses in order to compel them to come out. All those who
fell into the hands of the soldiers were assassinated ; in fine,
murder, pillage, and burning, were the order of the day, and
the Governor gave little interruption to all these excesses.
" Several European vessels had left Smyrna by the desire of
the. Consuls at Salonica, to proceed to the latter port, in order
to protect the property of the Franks, the insurgents under the
command of Ulysses, &c. having advanced to within 12 leagues
of that city, and spread a general alarm. The Pacha of Sa-
lonica had bean repulsed at Veria, and was endeavouring to
collect a new force to make a second attempt against the Greeks.
Chourchid Paella was attacked on all sides at Janina.
" VtExxa, MAY 4.—We know nothing certain respecting
the affairs of Turkey.. The Court publishes; nothing. At the
Exchange many reports of peace and of war are circulated.
We expect with the greatest impatience intelligence from St.
Fetersburgh, which would put aside all uncertainty.
" Mr. Gordon, the English Charge d'Affaires, has had within
a few days past several conferences with the Prince de Metter-
nich, and has sent off a courier to London.
" We have no accounts from Constantinople, subsequent to
the 13th April. At that period the Turkish army was still re-
ceiving new reinforcements from Asia, but these troops remained
in the environs of Constantinople.
" The Turkish fleet, commanded by the Capitan
Ali Bey, was to have proceeded to the Black Sea, but his des-
tination was suddenly changed, in consequence of the insurrec-
tion at Scio. The Grand Scignor sent positive orders to Ali
Bey, to put down the rebels at Scio, and to annihilate the
Greek navy ; but the Turkish vessels are not completely
equipped, and are very badly armed. Compelled to sail, Ali
Bey proceeded to Gallipoli to complete his equipment. There
are some thousand troops on board, for the purpose of effecting
a debarkation.

" HAMBURGII, MAY. 6.—We have received from the
banks of the Pruth accounts, dated the 21st April, containing
the important intelligence that the second Russian army had
received, for the second time, orders to hold themselves in
readiness to march; the third order will fix its destination.
The Emperor was expected in Bessarabia.
" LAUSANNE, MAX 10.—The Governments of the Cantons
of Western Switzerland have received
_new summonses not to
suffer the residence in their territories of any foreigner pro-
scribed, or a fugitive on account of political offences. The Mi-
nistry of a Great Power has declared to the Swiss, that if they
are not more correct in future in satisfying the demands ad-
dressed to them in this respect, it will be obliged to adopt such
measures as circumstances may render expedient. The Direct-
ing Canton could do no less than transmit to the Cantons inte-
rested in it the communications thus made, accompanied by
considerations derived from' the present situation of Switzer-
land. This explains, without altogether excusing it, the atten-
tion which our authorities have shewn to acts which at another
time would have been considered as attacks upon our indepen-
dence.

" We have been much occupied here for some time with the '
projected Tariff of Customs, which is to be proposed at the next
Diet. If it is adopted, it will be ruinous to the Cantons which
carry on commerce with France, but it will give great advan-
tages to the German manufacturers, and to the Cantons which
trade direct with them. From the manner in which our affairs
are now managed, there is but too much reason to fear that this
Germanic combination will prevail over the general interest of
the Swiss communes."._
