tion all the publicity which he may conceive

The Drapeau Blanc contains a transcript of a
project of an Address to the King of Spain, on
the state of that -country, which was adopted by
the Cortes in an extraordinary sitting on the9.4th
u!t. The extreme length of this document, and
the lateness of the hour, compel us to defer fur-
ther notice of it.

STUTTGARDT, MAY 29.—Several private let-
ters which have arrived here announce the defeat
of the Capital' Pacha, after a very sanguinary
naval combat, but in which the Greeks at length
obtained a complete victory. _ _

One of the letters states; that intelligence was
momentarily expected of the capture of Salonica
by the Hellenists.
OnEssA, MAY 7.—We had already learned by
preceding letters from Constantinople, of .oth
of April, that the Ambassadors of England and
Austria, notwithstanding the declarations of the
Porte, that it would make no farther conces-
sions, continued their negociations. We now
find by accounts from that city, which have been
received by many persons here, that Lord Strang-
ford, after receiving the Note of the Reis Ef-
fendi, of the Ist of April (which I sent you the
day before yesterday), made another attempt to
induce the Porte to yield. The Reis Effendi
hereupon declared verbally, that the Porte would
soon give orders to evacuate the Principalities,
and, in fact, we received yesterday accounts
from the frontiers, of the sth, that the Asiatics
would depart ; but as this is The third time,
within a year, that the Turks have announced
the evacuation, many persons here require a
month's time before they will believe that the
Asiatics and Janissaries will depart.
The two Principalities are, as it were, laid
waste with fire and sword. If, therefore, in
case the Turks evacuate these unfortunate coun-
tries, we attend merely to diplomatic forms, the
Porte has already made a great advance towards
a friendly arrangement, and shewn in general, in
the course of these unparalleled negociations, a
diplomatic tact, which would do honour to the
first ►tegociators of Europe. _

The facts of all kinds that have hitherto oc-
curred must now be cast into oblivion, and every
thing done to save appearances. As it is now
certain that the famous note of the '2Bth of Fe-

hruary was returned, and new conciliatory pro-
posals made with the concurrence of M. de Ta-
tischeff, the nature of the accounts that we may
expect from St. Petersburgh may be easily

guessed at, and a war with the Turks is now
hardly to be thought. of. However this may be,
if our beloved Sovereign intended hostile mea-

sures, there has never bee❑ any want of suffi.
cient reasons; only the opponents of this asser
tion cannot conceive why Baron Von Strogo.

noff, on his leaving Constantinople, refused
to receive the Note then offered by the Reis

Effendi, and yet M. de Tatischeff has n 0.7
proposed measures of conciliation.—All these
events, however, united with the rejoicings
of the Liberals, which have sounded so loud-
ly throughout Europe, and have indisputably
done incalculable injury to the cause of the
Greeks, take away all credit from a report that
has reached us from St. Petersburgh, that the
Principalities would be at all events occupied by
our troops.—(Algemeine Zeitung.)
ODESSA, MAY is said that the answers
of the Great Courts, respecting the attitude they
would assume in case of war between Russia
and the Porte, had arrived at St. Petersburgh.—
England had dissented from the views of our
Cabinet, but has promised to remain neutral.—
The Court of Vienna was of opinion that peace
would continue, but at the same time opposed the
measures that Russia intended to adopt, in case
the Ultimatum should be rejected, which the
Austrian Internuncio had again proposed to the
Porte in a more urgent manner than ever. The
Courts of Paris and Berlin have acceded uncon-
ditionally to the views of our Cabinet, in case the
Porte should again reject the Ultimatum of our
Emperor.
We have accounts from Constantinople, of
the 6th instant. It is stated that the Capitan
Paella had been attacked in the waters of

Chios by a numerous fleet .of the Greeks

and that he had lost two or three vessels.—
They were still fighting when the accounts left
Constantinople.
It is said that the principalities of Moldavia
and Wallachia will be evacuated by the Otto
man troops, but that garrisons will be left to
overawe the intribitants.—(Journal des Debuts,
the Editor of which says, in a note, " The
fortresses of Brailow and Giorgiewo have always
Turkish garrisons in times of peace. This cir-
cumstance, therefore, makes nothing against the
maintenance of peace, which we have now very
strong reasons for regarding as certain.")
TRIESTE, NAY 18.-A small English squadron
of five vessels, one of the line, is now in this har-,
bour. The Austrian brigantine, Aristides, which
has arrived in 12 days from the neighbourhood
of Sina, brings, news that great fermentation pre-
vails in the island of Samos, and that murders are
committed almost daily, because part of the in-
habitants, fearing the consequences of this rebel-
lion, desires to hoist the Ottoman flag, and vo-
luntarily to submit to the Turkish troops when
they arrive. The two Captains Valsamacchi and
Georgundapulo, lay off the island, to take on
board the principal-Greek families, who intend-
ed to take flight; but the people,opposed their
embarkation, demanding that those who, if the
issue had been favourable, would have claimed
the fairest fruits of the victory for themselves,
should now share the days of danger with the
lower classes.
According to the statements brought by the
ships that arrive, not a Greek vessel is to be met
with out at sea. They have all either retired to
their islands, or are watching in. sonic conceal-
ment for a favourable opportunity to gain some
advantage over the powerful fleet of the Capitan
Pacha ; 600 Greek childfeii and 890 women were
embarked on board
.tilitee Turkish vessels, to be
conveyed as slaves to Asia.
MITYLENE, Avrtt. 10.—This - unhappy island
is still in consternation, and is threatened with

devastation as well by the Turks as the Greeks
themselves. The-Turks in Mitylene threaten to
burn the island as soon as the Greeks attempt a
landing. In order to keep the people better in
check they have also sent the Bishop and the
principal inhabitants to Constantinople. Thirty
English, French and Austrian men of war are
now cruising in the Archipelago, for the protec-
tion of trade.
ST. PETERSBURGII, MAY 10.---In the western
provinces of Russia, the want of corn becomes
more and more serious, and many persons perish
in consequence. The failure of the crops for two
years successively, and the increased consumption
caused by the guards who have been quartered
there for these twelve months, are the causes of
this scarcity.
Prince Plato Subow, the last favourite of
Catherine 11. and Colonel of the Guards under
the;late Emperor, died lately in Courland. He
leaves a fortune of much more than ten millions
of roubles.
ST. PETERSBURGH, MAY 15.—M. 'l'atischeff
has now been a fortnight here, and there is not
yet any appearance of a change in the state of our
relations with the Porte ; on the contrary, the
belief in the continuance of peace gains ground.
We have the following accounts from the Tur-
kish frontiers.—lt is affirmed that Persia insists
on the cession of Armenia. The Porte avoids
giving any precise declaration, and depends great-
ly on the mediation of England for the arranging
of their difficulties.
According to other accounts, coming from good
authority, the Porte had ordered the Paella of
Bagdad to "continue the war with Persia, and not
to listen to any proposals for peace. This has
mightily incensed the Schah, who has published
a formal Declaration of War against Turkey, and
left Teheran with a large army, which he intends
to command in person. The van guard is said
to have joined the troops of his grandson, and
the whole of this great force to be advancing
against the Pachalick of Erzerum.
The weather, which in the whole of March,
and the first half of April, was the mildest and
warmest in the memory of man, in our northern
climate, has been succeeded, for three weeks past,
by severe cold, with furious storms. The pro-
gress of vegetation,, which was very much ad-
vanced, is suddenly checked ; we only hope
that the prospect of the farmer may not be
blighted by it.
lIANovEtt, MAY 28.—1 t is said that his Ma-
jesty, whom we still hope to see this summer,
will take for a time the mineral waters of Reh-
burg. _ _

An article from Hamburgh, of May 19, says,
that her Royal Highness the Princess of Hesse
Homburg has received official information that
his Majesty's health will not permit him to take
such a journey this year.

SMYRNA, APRIL 18.--The Turks who landed
at Selo ou the 12th have shed so much bloo4
that they.have given courage to the vanquished.
I speak of what I have seen, and still shudder at
the thought of it-12,000 dead bodies of Chris-
tians, of all ages and both sexes, were lying in
the streets, squares, and environs of the city.—
The Turks had, on their side, 4,000 killed and
10,000 wounded. The Greeks are now en-
trenched in the mountainous parts of Scio, whence
they will not .probably venture except with a
sure prospect of success. An amnesty has been
proposed for the insurgents, and the proposals
were made known by the Agents of France and
Austria, who met with .a positive refusal; and
conquer or die is the unanimous cry of the whole
population.- Since then, the standard of the Cross
floats on all the mountains.
It was reported this morning that the Samians
had made a descent in the Gulf of Mycale, to
effect a diversion in favour of the inhabitants of
Scio ; but this needs confirmation.
BRUSSELS, JUNE 2.—A letter from Odessa of
the 7th May, published in the Augsburg Journal,
says, that there seems no probability, since the
mission of M. de Tatischeff, of a war with the
Turks.

The AUSfri(lll Observer of the 23d, 24th, and

FRANICFORT, MAT 30.—We have been for
some time without any accounts tan the con-
tinent of Greece. We are thereto e ignorant
whether the insurgents have been able to extend
the• insurrection, and especially- whether they
have prosecuted their enterprise against Saloni-
ca. The Government of the lonian Islands has
adopted very rigorous measures in order to hinder
the inhabitants from assisting the Greek insur-
gents.—lt is affirmed that a decree has been pub-
lished there, according to which every subject
of that state who takes a part in the contest,
either in Epirus or in the Peloponnesus, shall be
banished from his country for life, and his
property confiscated. We have no certain in-
formation that the Capitan Pacha, since the
reduction of Scio, has attempted any thing
against the other islands, but a vessel which
sailed from the Archipelago in the beginning of
May brings the news that the appearance of
this formidable force, and the report of the me-
lancholy fate of the flourishing island of Scio,
has spread general consternation in all the other
islands.

IRUN, MAY 26.—The army of the faith along
the Ebro having formed a junction with the Ca-
talonians, the insurrection in that province now
more than ever assumes a consistence. Thirty
villages, as if by enchantment, have taken up
arms. The Royalists venture to face the troops
of the line, who are terrified at the boldness of
their enemies.

Opinion manifests itself with energy on all the
points of the kingdom against the new system.
This situation of affairs renders an approaching
great crisis inevitable. The nation is fatigued,
and cannot much Yonder support the state of
anarchy in which it has been plunged for the last
two years.—(Quotidienne.)
CADIZ) MAY 12.—The Commandant-Gene-

ral of this department has communicated to the'
Consulate a letter from the Secretary of State,
which states that he had received the following
from the Spanish Charge d'Affaires at Lisbon :
" As it may be of importance to the public service, I think
it my duty to inform your Excellency, that in a letter dated
April 13, at Funchal, Don Pablo Ruiz de la Bastida, Lieu-
tenant-Colonel of Engineers, who left this port the pre6eding
month for the Philippines, tells me, that according to the re.
port circulated, the people's minds in the Canaries were in
great agitation, and.that every thing announced that they de-
sired to proclain themselves independent."
The Commandant, conceiving that this infor-
mation may interest the merchants who design to
make consignments to those islands, desires the
consulate to make it publicly known.
ALICANT, MAY 15.—Our Political Chief has
published an Address to the inhabitants of this
province, giving an account of the total disper-
sion of the band of the notorious Jamie Alfonso.

ST. SEBASTIAN, MAY 16.—Accounts from St.
Sebastian, Bilboa, and Vittoria; of the 10th, give
details of the appearance of Zavola with his
band, on the 13th, at Escoriaza, where they
plundered the houses of the Liberals, but re-
treated on the approach of the militia and vo-
lunteers, who pursued them and wounded se-
veral.
