contains in substance what follows Tn every
village or estate where, without the knowledge
of the Lord, a deserter or fugitive finds a pro-
hibited asylum in the house of a peasant, the
community of ihe peasants shall be condemned
to a fine of 2000 roubles for each deserter or
fugitive. If this asylum has been known by the
Lord of the place, the latter shall pay the same
sum, besides the fine fixed on the peasants. If
the Lord alone is instrumental to the conceal-

menf, he shall pay the line of 2000 roubles alone,
arid besides, be judged according to the rigour of
the law. A. reward of S(X) roubles is offered for
each deserter informed against—to be paid out of
the fine." •
OnEssA, AUG. 1. _The differences with the
Porte are rer-arded as terminated ; and we shall
soon see if the Greeks can escape the ruin which
hangs over them. The mistrust of the Sultan,
who will find it difficult to bring all his troops
from ti►e borders of the Danube, will be of great
service to the Greeks. Some of their partisans
flatter themselves that it will be proposed, at the
approaching Congress, to send to Constantino-
ple a General Declaration of the Courts of Pa-

ris, London, Vienna, and St. Petersburgh, to
point out to the Sultan the manner in which these.
Courts regard the affairs of the Greeks, and to
engage him to agree to it ; but as this Declara-
tion could not be accompanied by any threat, i❑
consequence of the existing amicable relations,
it will hardly have the effect expected of it ;
and, besides, how many innocent Greeks will
be slaughtered before that period.—(Gazette
d'Augsbourg.)
BERLIN, AUG. 10.—The celebrated chemist,
Mr. Frederick Accum, who left England a year
and a half ago, has been appointed by the King
Professor in the Establishment called the Ge-
werbe Institut (Institution for Trades,) where
instructions are given to persons intended for par-
ticular trades and manufacturing professions.—
Mr. Accum will deliver public lectures during
the winter.—("Allgemeine Zeitung.)
HAGUE, AUG. 2-I.—The first Chamber of the
States-General has passed the laws on national
spirituous liquors, and on the cession of domains
to the King, by a very great majority, the first
having had only two votes, and the second only
four against it. The general law on the Levy of
the Duties of Importation, Exportation, Transit,
and Excise, and the law on the Tariff, passed
unanimously.
SECOND CHAMBER OF THE STATES-GENERAL,
AUGUST 24.

His Excellency the Minister of the Interior
closed the Session this day, in his Majesty's
names by the following speech :
HIGH and MIGHTY LORDS :—ln coming in the King's
name to close the Session of your High Mightinesses, I am
charged to express to the Assembly the satisfaction of his Ma-
jesty with the constant assiduity with which your High Mighti-
nesses have fulfilled your important duties. The King has
also remarked, with satisfaction, the temper and wisdom which
prevailed in the deliberation on the Civil Code.
" The spirit which directs these deliberations, the knowledge
of the subject which is shewn there, give the hope that a work
will be produced which may contribute to the happiness of the
nation, more firmly consolidate the different parts of it, and
hold an honourable place among the important ameliorations
of every kind, for which we are indebted to the care of the
Monarch, or which may be expected from it in future, and
' which together comprehend all the great interests of the na-
tion, to which the protection of the Government is at the same
1
time equally extended. By iresenting the execution of an
article of the 31st of the fundamental law, your High Mighti-
nesses have offered the • King means to give his subjects fresh
proofs of the love lie bears them. The nation recognising at
the time the right which this article contains, had in view only
the sacred person of his Majesty. The King, in making use
of his right, had considered especially the interests of his
people, and which will always be his views.
Provision has been made by your High Mightinesses for
the first wants of a nation, which, after multiplied advantages,
has to bear the great burdens which are inseparable from them.
Your High Mightinesses have adopted a system of taxes, the
prodUce of which will be sufficient to cover the expences, and
at the same time to preserve the advantages attached to this
system. Among its different parts, which perfectly agree with
each other, that which appeared to present the most difficulties
has been almost unanimously adopted in the latter Sittings of
the two Chambers.
" May this unity of views and intention be the precursor of
the unanimity which will reign on the approaching Session.—
The King desires that this spirit of harmony and union may
be transmitted by your High Mightinesses in your respective
provinces. Your loyal fidelity will correspond with this invita-
tion of his Majesty. I declare in the name of the King, the
Session of the States-General is closed."

THE GREEKS AND TURKS.

ACCOUNTS FROM CONSTANTI NOPLE OF JULY 25.
[From .the Austrian Observer of Aug. 16.]

The measures lately adopted to restore discipline and order
among the Janissaries, are not only enforced with great strict-
ness, but daily extended. The Sultan has commanded, that
the number of the Janissaries quartered in the barracks shall
not exceed 40,000 men ; that the other descriptions of troops,
such as the Topschis, Bombardiers, Bostangis, &c. shall lay
aside the badges of the several divisions of the anissaries, and
shall wear only the number of the orta of their respective
corps ; that the sign of the arts shall in future be affixed only to
the barracks and guard houses, and never to other buildings,
which acquire thereby illegal protection ; and that the public
markets, where, in former troublesome times, the greatest ex-
cesses were committed, shall henceforward be
.guarded exclu-
sively by that orta to which the Aga of the Janissaries belongs.
The Janissaries, who clearly see from all these measures,
and from the instant punishment that falls on every one who
acts contrary to them, that the Govevnment is this time really
in earnest, have submitted in humble silence; and the salutary
effects of these first reforms are felt by all the inhabitants of
Constantinople.
The Turkish fleet has lately left its station off Tenedos, af-
ter being joined by all the reinforcements sent to it from this
city. It is said that it will go first to Patras, to fetch the new
High Admiral, Kara Mahined Pacha, the news of whose death
was false ; en the contrary, he is said to have made some suc-
cessful sallies against the corps of insurgents that blockade
Patras by land.. The Egyptian and Algerine fleet was seen,
on the 14th of July, near Samos. What has been related of
landings effected by this fleet on several islands of the Ar-
chipelago is not confirmed ; except that it stopped at Candia,
and landed some hundred men near Suda,who were immediately
engaged with the insurgents ; it seems no where to have at-
tempted any thing.
The month of June has-been the most unfortunate for the
Turkish arms in their contest with the Greeks. The citadels
of Athens and of Napoli di Romania capitulated nearly at
the same time. The capitulation of the first was signed on
the 22(1. According to the conditions, the garrison was to
withdraw unmolested • but it is said, nevertheless, to have
been afterwards murdered. Coron, Modon, and Patras, were
still blockaded by the insurgents. Kara Mahmcd Pacha, the
new High Admiral, has hitherto vigorously defended the lat-
ter, and the unexpected retreat of the Insurgent Chief Coloco-
troni to Gasluni (on the south of Patras) had been of much ad-
vantage to him.
This was nearly the state of affairs, when accounts were re-
ceived of the latest operations of the Seraskier Chourschid
Pacha. It was thought for a time that he was detained by the
diversions eflected in Albania, partly by the Suliots, partly by
the Greek insurgents ; it seems,, however, that this was not the
case. Chourschid had left the conduct of the war in Albania
to the Pacha of Arta, who, with a corps of 6000 men, attacked
the Insurgents in the middle of the month of July, and is said
to have obtained important advantages over them, of which,
however, none of the details have reached us. Meantime,
Chourschid Paella, with the main army of 40,000 men, (other
accounts make it more numerous,) marched to Thessaly by way
of Zeltun, where the Insurgents are stated to have received a
severe defeat, penetrated through the Therthopylx, and occupied
Livadia and Salona ; and, according-to subsequent letters, re-
covered Thebes and Athens. It is certain, that towards the end
of July (June) the greatest consternation prevailed in all these
