PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT OF GREECE.

The Greek nation has taken arms and combats against
tyranny. The rights of the people are incontestible. The un-
heardqf sacrifices made by that people have for object its in-
dependence, and as it is acquainted with its rights, it knows
also its duty. In declaring its independence, it established a
centsal•Government, to defend the former, and to fulfil the se-
cond; and itis incumbent on the Government, to attain its object
and to render the sacred cause of the people triumphant, to de-
prive the enemies of Greece of all their means of oppression; in
consequence, the Provisional Government of Greece, in virtue
of the law of nations of all the States of Europe, declares now
in a state of blockade all the coast occupied by the enemy, both
in Epirus and the Peloponnesus,Eubea (Negropont) and Thes-
•saly from Epidaurus to Salonica, including that place,—de-
dares also in a state of blockade all the isles and ports occu-
, pied by the enemy in the Egean Sea, the Sporadian Isles, and
the isle of Crete.

" All vessels underwhatever flag they sail, which afterobtain-
ing a knowledge of the decree by the Commanders of the Greek
squadrons, or by separate vessels, shall attempt.to enter these
ports, shall be seized, and treated according to the laws and
usages established in such cases. The Commanders of Greek
vessels shall continue to cause to be published this Resolution,
till the Government have acquired the certainty that it has
reached wherever it is necessary. The present Declaration shall
be besides communicated to all the Consuls of all the Friendly
Powers in the different States of Greece.

" The President of the Executive Power,
" A. MAUROCORDATO.
" The Minister of Foreign Affairs,
" TH. NEGRI."

ODESSA, JuNE'6.—According to the last let-
ters from St. Petersburgh, a report was current
that a Declaration would immediately appear,
announcing that the Greeks must never reckon
on the support of Russia in their foolish and
guilty enterprise, and summoning them, in con-
sequence, promptly to accept a Turkish amnesty ;
;but Europe witnessed, a year since, that what is
. called a Turkish amnesty is certain death, after
having,laid down their arms. Thus a character
is given.to .the revolt of the Greeks, which is
without example. Women put themselves to
death ; children take up arms ; mothers kill
their children to withdraw them from future
-.evil ; and it .is certain that the extermination of
that nation will cost the lives of a great number
. Alussulmans. ,If we may believe the demi-
official memoir which has appeared in England,
Turkey is to be rendered stronger; and it fol-
, lows that the extermination of the Greeks will
be doubly desirable for England.
Our Court has made a great advance by its
moderation, and its pacific disposition, which all
-Europe must recognise ; not only has it removed
:all idea of conquest, all ambitious views, but it
;.has even renounced, almost all its influence in the,

East. The consequences of its conduct will be
important in more than one respect, but espe-
daily on account of the national fanaticism of
the Mussulmans, which it has awakened. If the
extermination of the Greeks is determined upon,
it may be foreseen that the Porte will assume an
attitude much more menacing.
Letters from Bessarabia state that the Russian
troops in that province are to take more extensive
cantonments.

AUGSBURGH, JUNE 25.—1 t was currently re-
ported yesterday that news had been received
from the Morea of a very bloody naval action,
between the squadron of the Capitan Pacha and
the G reek fleet, in which the Turks had been
completely defeated.
G ENEVA,JUNE 25. T e Government of Berne,
without waiting for the resolutions of the Diet,
and in contravention of the 11 § of the Federal
Pact, which consecrates the freedom of transit
from one Canton to another, has just imposed
a considerable duty on the introduction and
passage through its territory, of wines, silks,
and other French goods.
It is positively announced, that a neighbouring
power has promised the Swiss, in case they should
adopt prohibitory measures against French Com-
merce, to grant them a free passage into its states
for four years, and to give them salt at a more
moderate price than that at which they have
hitherto got it at from France.
BASLE, JUNE 25.—The Swiss threaten to with-
draw their troops from France, in consequence
of the new Custom Laws.

STOCKHOLM, JUNE 14.—According to the in-
vestigation which has been made of the cause of
the late dreadful fire in this city, it seems to have
begun in an outbuilding near to a sugar refining
house ; and there is reason to suppose that some
sparks from this latter must have, been the real
cause of the disaster.

JUNE 18.77 The official journal of yesterday
contains an account of the fire of the 12th ; and
adds, that on the 14th a fire broke out in Munk-
lagers-street, from the carelessness of a workman,
who was using tar, by which a house was burnt
down. The workman is arrested, and will be
brought to justice.—The official account of the
fire which bioke out on the 12th at Nordkioping,
attended by a terrible storm, states that 448
houses were burnt, and 3,318 persons (not in-
cluding the little children) are wi, bout shelter.
Five or six persons, and a quantity of cattle,
perished. A magazine of the Crown, with 3,466
barrels of corn, was destroyed. About a third
of thathand some town is reduced to a heap of ruins.

Ilis Majesty set out yesterday for Norway,
and the western and southern parts of the king-
dom. During his Majesty's absence from the
capital, a Regency is appointed, consisting of
Count Gyllenborg, Count Von Engestrom, Count
Morner, and Kiellberg.
Ilis Majesty has sent an officer of the Trea-
sury with 10,000 rix dollars banco to Nordkiop-
ing, to relieve the most urgent wants of the suf-
ferers by the fire.
ST. PETERSBURGH, JUNE 11.—The Schah of
Persia, at the head of a large and formidable
army, continues his march without interruption
against Bagdad. He has in his suite his three
sons, and also Abbas Mirza, who is so well
known in Europe, and resided so long as Ambas-
sador from his Court at London, Paris, Vienna,
and St. Petersburgh.
A great plan is in contemplation here, to bring
the water of the Neva, by means of an aqueduct
to be erected, into every house, and even into
the highest story. The expence of this aque-
duct is estimated at 25 millions of roubles. A
second plan relates to the establishment of a Rus-
sian Company of Insurance for account of the
Government, which would be accompanied with
the prohibition of making any insurance in a fo-
reign country, by which it is certain that large
sums of money would be kept in the country.
Up to the 6th of June 265 ships had arrived
at Riga, and 142 sailed.
An Imperial Ukase, of the 26th of April,
which is intended to guard against the bad con-
sequences of the failure of the harvest, such aS
have occurred for these two years in several pro-
vinces of the Empire, orders the establishment of
a Committee, in the capital town of each Go-
vernment, consisting of the Civil Governor and
other official characters, whose chief duty is to
take care that their Government has a constant
supply of bread. Corn magazines are to be es-
tablished, and a special fund assigned to relieve
the distressed, by advancing money when the
magazines are insufficient. This money to be
repaid in two years at the latest, and to bear 6
per cent. interest, which is to be added to the
fund. The property of the person relieved to be
security for the sum advanced to him. Those
land-owners who do not take advantage of these
measures, and yet suffer their peasants to want,
will be placed, with their property, under judi-
cial guardianship.
COPENHAGEN, JUNE 22.—His Majesty has re-
covered very rapidly during the last week, and
frequently goes out as well on horseback as in a
carriage. It is said he will go on the 28th to his
summer residence Friedericksberg.

A great fire has destroyed many buildings at
Funsager, near Viborg. Two great farms have
also been burnt down in Entrap.
AMBERG, JUNE 15.—1 n the night of the 10th
a great part of the town of Sulzbach was de-
stroyed by fire. One hundred and sixty-six
houses and numerous other buildings were laid in
ashes. The great heat of the weather has dried
every thing to such a degree, that the roofs and
houses burnt like straw. The inhabitants of
Amberg exerted themselves in an extraordinary
manner.

BERLIN, JUNE 20.—The fires in the little
towns and the country are now extremely nume-
rous. On the 3d of June, 50 houses, &c., were
burnt at Lyck, in East Prussia, and 12 in the
neighbouring Polish town of Raigard ; and on
the following day there was a still greater fire at
Augustowa.—At 0 litzko (Marggrabowa,) on the
sth of June, 30 buildings were burnt down,
besides several breweries, the stud of the pro-
vince, the riding school, and the Graversdorff
academy.
FRANKFORT, JUNE 26.—The Austrian Funds
have been for some days lower in our Exchange,

which is attributed to the uncertainty respecting
the negociations with the Porte.
The last letters from Semlin state, that the
Turkish troops have been again reinforced on
the frontiers of Servia, and that intelligence was
every day expected of the entrance of the Turks
into that province.
On the 15th, towards evening, immense damage
was done at Darmstadt by a tremendous hail-
storm. The crops were all cut to pieces, the
largest trees torn up by the roots, all the windows
in the city that were exposed to the storm were
dashed to pieces, and the palace garden entirely
laid waste.

lIAMBURGII, JUNE 'M.—The few of our ships
that sailed for the Greenland whale and seal
fishery, returned yesterday at Gluckstadt with a
full cargo. The accounts of the other vessels
that have sailed from the Elbe this year, for
Greenland, are likewise very favourable. It is
to he regretted that, the fishery having been so
unsuccessful for several years together, only three
have been sent from Hamburgh.
