nig to, the intelligence she brings, it appears cer-
tain that the insurrection of the Greeks at Scio
rbad given rise to new excesses at Smyrna. The
Turks had assassinated a considerable number of
Christians of all nations. The greater part of
the Greek Islands in the Archipelago are now in
°Pen insurrection.
PERA, Aran 11.—The Dragomans pretend to
know that the Austrian and English Ministers
Continue their efforts to induce the Divan to
accept the Russian Ultimatum, but hitherto in
vain. Lord Strangford transmitted a Note on
this subject on the 30th March, and the Count
de Lutzow followed his example on the 6th or
Bth April, after receiving a courier from Vienna.
Put the Porte gave no answer, nor would consent
t 0 any conference, although the Notes of the
mediating Ambassadors were expressed in the
most pressing terms. The verbal declaration of
the Reis Effendi, of the 25. th March, that the
Porte had no other answer to give than that con,

;aired in its Note of the 28th February, is there.
're .he only official declaration of the Porte,
~sll,bsequent to the Note of the 28th February.—
' hey still expect a new answer in a few days,
but it is doubtful whether it will be satisfactory.
LEiPStC, APRIL 29.—A1l the letters from
Poland and Russia, brought by the last courier,
are for war.

eelses daily committed by the Turks against the Greeks on va_
ri°us parts of the coast, had induced a great number of
Greeks of Asia to take refuge in the Islands of Chio, Miti-
ieue and Samos, where the Turks being less numerous, still
Preserved severe measures in their treatment of the Greeks.
At Chio, for instance, the Turks contented themselves with
choosing twenty-seven of the principal inhabitants of the ca-
pital for hostages, whom they shut up in a fort near the sea,
the only place which they occupied in the island, where all
the inhabitants are Greeks. At Samos, the Greek refugees
fruro Asia united with the brave Samiots, conscious of their
strength, and having found in Lycurgus a chief equally braie
and prudent, had succeeded, so far back as December last, in
freeing themselves from the Turkish yoke. The island of Mid-
lene is still kept in subjection by several fortified castles, and by
a greater number of Musselman inhabitants. Several inhabi-
tants of Chio, equally distinguished by their wealth and supe-
rior education, had withdrawn as soon as they saw the Turks, at
their discretion, choose hostages among the richest of their
c°untrYlnen. They went to Samos, to join the free Greeks of
that island. These geperous fugitives from Chio soon learnt
that the Turks had massacred the 27 Greek hostages confined
L'l the fort at Chio, and that they had shut themselves up in it,
giving out that they had punished with death only one of the
4°stages. Confounded by the information of the new measures
°the Divan, withheld also by the Greek archons, or chiefs of
the island,
who are highly favoured by the Turks, and by the
interest of the extensive commerce which they carry on with
the capital of the empire, the inhabitants of Chio did not ven-
ture to rise, and take vengeance for the new crime committed
by the Turks almost before their eyes. But their brave coun-
tlllnen, who had taken refuge at Samos, equipped a small
a, °tale, provided with artillery, and manned by three or four
nundred Samiots, soon landed on the Isle of Clio, where they
hoisted the banner of the Cross. Immediately all the inhabit-
ants flew to arms, and assisted in landing the artillery of the
flotilla near the fort, in which the small garrison of the island
//4shut up. Batteries were immediately erected, trenches
sabout the fort, which, though near the sea, may be in-
ete(' by land. Men, women, and boys, the whole population
cif
tlleisland, assisted in digging the trenches. Soon the artil-
lerY w •
th as directed against the fort, after a previous offer made to
hoe Turks to let them retire to Asia, if they could produce the
stages• But their refusal being considered by the inhabitants
toa confirmation of the massacre of their countrymen, nothing
Auld equal the indignation of the besiegers, and there is reason
theauPPose that none of the Turks shut up in the fort will escape
b4iii4st vengeance of the Chiots, because this fort, which was
t' t while the island was in the possession of the Venetians,
o°t hold out long. It is thus, by a new act of gratuitous
trio itY, that the Turks have lost the richest, the most indus-
s,tutla, and best governed island of the Archipelago. This loss
of be felt at Constantinople, which drew from Chio all kinds
aeriLt.icies for clothing and ornament, the workmen of all de-
thi;;l°ns in this island being considered as the first in Turkey.

LONDON,
TUESDAY, MAY 14, 182.-2.

TREASURY CHAMBERS, MAY 14, Twelve v'Clock.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL, the CHANCELLOR of

the EXCHEQUER, the GOVERNOR and DEPUTY
GOVERNOR of the Bank, and Mr. HAuuisoN,
were waiting, at the Official House, in Downing-
street, ready to attend upon any Bidders for the
Annuities and Half-Pay Pensions, according to
the appointment, at eleven o'clock this clay ; but
there appearing to be no Bidders, the Meeting
was postponed till to-morrow.

We have received the Paris Papers of Friday
and Saturday, and German Papers to the c2d inst.
from which we give extracts in a preceding
column. It appears by the articles from Con-
stantinople in these Papers, as well as by private
commttnications received in this country, that the

LAustrian internuncio had discontinued his
attempts at mediation between the Russians and
Turks, as the Divan are determined to adhere
to their resolution of the 28th of February.—
Several Greek merchants belonging to Scio were
put under arrest at Constantinople as soon as the
revolution in that island was made known. They
are all of them more or less connected with Eng-
land by commercial operations, and we have
been furnished by a correspondent with the fol-
lowing list of their names :-1-lAyGr, S. PSICH4,
F. FRANGIIIADI, MICH. VURO, GIRO GALATTI,

CIIINI. Lord STRANGFORD had, however, suc-
cessfully interfered to save their lives, but should
the Turks be entirely expelled from Scio, fears
are entertained as to their future fate.

A. letter from Smyrna, among our extracts,
states that the barbarous massacre by the Turks
of the Greek hostages, in the Island of Scio, led
to the revolt of that island, and but for this
atrocious act Scio might still have remained
in the possession of the Porte, as many cir-
cumstances rendered the inhabitants disposed to
favour the Turks. The revolt of Scio has pro-
duced a repetition at Smyrna and other parts of
Asia Minor of the dreadful murders perpetrated
by the Turks at the beginning of the Greek in-
surrection.

We received a file of Carraccas Papers this
ntorning, from which we extract the following :
OPERATIONS OF THE ARMY BESIEGING PORTO
CABELLO.

Head-quarters, Valencia, Feb. 27, 1322.

" Yesterday a force of about 200 of the enemy
presented itself in the neighbourhood of Virgi-
slum, which was completely routed, leaving many
prisoners in our hands. According to the decla-
ration of the prisoners, this wretched corps came
confiding in the friendly disposition of the coun-
try, and calculated that it would not only find
no difficulty in establishing itself on the heights
of Virgivima, but indulged the hope of re-uniting
all the bands with which the enemy supplied
those in the valleys to be infested ; but they
have received fresh proofs of the resolution of
these inhabitants to maintain their liberty, and
defend themselves against the Spaniards.

" SOUBLETTE."

Captain STEVENSON gives the following ad-
ditional information :—" Puerto Cavello was de-
clared in a state of blockade on the 20th Feb.
A report was prevalent that the Royalists had
evacuated Coro,and were on their retreat to Puerto
Cavello ; there had been a skirmish of outposts
near Valencia on the 26th February, in which the
Royalists were defeated. On the 22d November
General SUCRE, of the Royal Army, agreed upon
terms of an armistice of 90 days through the
province of Quito, from which circumstance it
is supposed General Bor,Tv.in would not pro-
ceed to the capital of Quito."

The House of Commons divided last night on
the question for bringing up the Report of the
Committee on the Agricultural Resolutions, when
the numbers were, for receiving the Report, 153,
against it, 22.—The division was preceded by
another long debate, in the course of which Mr.
JOHN SMITH drew a vivid picture of the univer-
sal ruin and wretchedness which must ensue upon
any violation of faith with the public creditor.
There is not a cottage in the country, indeed,
which would not be involved in the convulsion
of a national bankruptcy. The failure of the
Bank of England would be immediately followed
by the bankruptcy of numerous private bankers,
whose failures, again, would involve those of
merchants, manufacturers, shopkeepers, artisans,
&c. &c.—The persons who now live upon their
dividends would cease to be the customers of the
productive classes. An immense portion of the
middle classes would be thrown upon the market
for labour, at the very moment that a great part
of the demand for the products of labour had by
the ruin of the middle classes ceased ; and thus a
state of society, equal in wretchedness to that
whic4 is now presented in Ireland, would at
once be produced by the very means which some
ill-judging persons think would be conducive to
the public prosperity.

The Irish Papers received this morning do not
I contain any intelligence of much importance,
except the afflicting details of the progress of
famine and pestilence. That progress, thank
God, will be speedily checked by the munificent
relief which is pouring into Ireland by the bene-
volence of this country. The news of the sub-
scription entered into at the City of London
Tavern has been received with heartfelt joy and
thankfulness by the suffering population of the
Sister Island; and the Editors of the different
Journals express their feelings of admiration in
the warmest terms. In all quarters of the dis-
tressed districts, it is alleged that there is an ab-
solute scarcity of food, as well as an utter des-
titution of employment and money for the starv-
ing peasantry.
