CITY, TnURSDA V EVk:NING,

Mercantile letters have been received - this morning frarie
Odessa to the 27th ult. at which time there was not any c7iaitee
in the position of the Russiateariny, nor had any alteeste-..e.
taken place in commerce. By this conveyance information hi
been received from Constantinople to the 24th July.' -The
pitai of the Ottomans at that tirrie was perfectly tranquil, bit:
it had been found necessary by the Government, for • the
faction of the populace, to select 150 of the principal Greeks
and four'Bislicips,- and bt di?feretit degrees of cruelty, legit

to n'iaintain the ignorant religious' fatalism of this most exe•
crahle Government; but the -feelings of every Christian aid

Stich enormities; for where is the man who believes in the re.:
tribittiye justice of Heaven, and- does not feel himself bound by
-the duty which' he owes to hitinan society, loudly to demand
that such abominations should be utterly annihilated ?--A few
days'ago The Chronicle informed the public, that the Turkish
fleet had arrived at Tenedok. By the advices received this day
it appears that this movement was not the work of volitior,
but of necessity, on the part of the barbarians. The Grecian
fleet, animated with that noble spirit of enterprise which has
uniformly characterised them, forced their enemy to leave the
waters of Scio, and pursued them to 'Penedos, hating cut off
',one brig and two bombs, which they captured. Cruelty
and vice are generally attended by the most abject cosiardiee,
and this 'powerful fleet, which could destroy fifty thousand
defenceless Christians, and reduce beautiful Scio to a desert,
did rot find itself safe even at Tenedos from the Christie.n.
Grecian fleet, but sought for safety under the cannons of
the Castles of the Dardanelles. The pewer of Turkey is
next to be directed
_against acedonia,A and a numerove'
army of barbarians is to invade this country of illustrions me-
rtiory. Civilization, however, has little to fear from 'this effort
Macedonia cannot provide an•invading army with .subsistence,
and the Turks are not provided with any of the means of wsr
necessary for the subjection of a hostile and warlike populatioe.
The failure of this enterprizewilheatablish the liberty of Greece.
Great efforts have been made to throw provisions into the fort-
ress of Patras, but the blockade of the Greeks has beep we vigt..
lant to admit of any relief to the besieged: .ApPlication had
been made to the. Officers commanding the.Britisa ships of war
on that station, to open the, Communication with the garrison,
but without success. England now remains perfectly neutral,.
and every friend to the freedoin of mankind must be gratified
with this circumstance, affording as it must do sufficient precif
of the desire of the British Government at all events not to op-
pose the progress of liberty, and the ciolseeuent ciiiilizatiOn of
the fairest portion of the earth. In the .English • funds very
little business has this day been done. Consols opened at the
closing price of yesterday, having been done at 64P., and
not vary during the day. The French Rerttes are dearer, and.
so also are the new Prussian and Russian Loans. • The annexed

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

, TAMS, Auo. 20.—1 n consequence of the satia;s
flaiitory news the sanitary inspectors have receiv•-•
ed from Barcelona, it appears that-the communi-
cation between Spain and France will soon be re- I
opened. The markets which were formerly held
in the line were held again two days ago.
The Constitutionnel of this day says—" The
disposition of England in the new Congress was
judged of by the. choice of the Marquis of Lon-
donderry to represent the Cabinet there., It is
on that aCtottrit that so much. importance is at-
tached to the knowledge of the diplomatist who
is to succeed him.
The intentions of Austria cannot be mis-
taken, since now, as heretofore, she will have
111. de Metternich as her representative.
" As to Russia, it is not easy to foresee the at-
she'will take in the Congress. It was an-
nounced that M. Capo d'lstrias had lost a part
of his influence at St. Petersburgli, and yet it now
appears certain that this Minister will accompany
the Emperor Alexander to Vienna or to Italy,
I. Capo d'lstrias is a Greek by origin, and is
considered the head of the Russian party that
would favour the interest of Greece. There is
reason to hope, therefore, that the sacred cause
of ttait ancient and glorious nation will not be
altogether abandoned. These conjectures give
a degree of credit to the rumours which circulate
in some diplomatic circles, that Russia, which at
rst.seemed to be about to succour the Greeks,
and which afterwards shewed other views, now
returns to the system first attributed to it.
" All these elements are to be brought into con-
' net, and the most penetrating eye can scarcely
g, psi the nature of the resolutions which will be
the COTlSequew:e of it. What will be done can
- only be ;edged of by what has been done. For
some veers the present has been never like the
past. The future will resemble it still less. We
mast consult things, the reign of men is but tran-
sitory. With them their doctrines pass away.
Let us hope, then, that the cause of humanity in
Greece will not be forsaken, and that the cause
of liberty in Europe, which nothing can destroy,
will find also some defenders among the arbiters
of the destinies of nations.
The Council of War at Vienna have ad-
dressed an Order to their Admiral in the Medi-
terranean, bearing that the Austrian Government
will not acknowledge the blockade which the In-
-surgents have declared as to several Turkish
ports. The tenour of the document shows suf-
ficiently that the Court of Austria is not disposed
to recognise the independence of Greece. What
now interests the Greeks is, perhaps, not that
-other nations should help them, but that they
should not make common cause against them."—
(Constitutionnel.)
ODESsA, JULY 25.—There have been in this
pert since the Greek insurrection several ships
-.of Hydra and other islands of the Archipelago:
When it was known that the third naval ex-
pedition had sailed from Constantinople, and
:that the port of that city was without ships of
. war, these intrepid mariners formed the design
..of going•to.Constantinople and burning the ar-
aenal. Perhaps this enterprise might have been
. crowned with success, but our Government would
not suffer the Greeks to go out of the port.—
They have in consequence sold their ships, and
returned to their own country by a circuitous
route through Germany and Italy. It seems even
that the Porte was warned of the plan, as it had
taken measures to guard against the fire ships
which'it expected to come from the Euxine.
Several- vessels have brought us news from
'.Constantinople to the 19th. The capital was
tolerably tranquil,.and the Porte had contented
itself up to that time with putting to death some
rich Greeks of the Islands. The great Turkish
. Beet seems, if not entirely destroyed, at least out
-pf condition to be of service ; and the Turks will
not speedily cope at sea with the Greeks. A
.victOsy was also spoken of, which the Greeks
had gained over the Egyptian squadron, after
which the latter had returned to Alexandria.—
The Turks knew of the taking of Napoli di
Romania, Athens, Arta, and even Patras. All
these events had made a deep impression on
them. It is said that there were found in Napoli
.di Romania more than 30,000 English muskets,
cif which the Greeks had great need.—(Allge-
rneire Zeitung.)
ANCONA, AUG. s.—The Captain of a ship from
;s oitica, and the letters he had brought from
•that city, convey the following news :
".The Greeks of Cassandra, whom the Turks drove out of
their -country last winter, took refuge in Psara. The inhabi-
-tack of !heti** afreid of some attempt on the part of the
Turks, took them into posy in their land service, promising to
reir-etate them on the first opportunity in their own country.
%Conformably to this promise, when, after the disaster of the
Turkish fled,• in the Channel of Scio, the islanders of Psara
were out of danger, they armed a squadron of small vessels,
. in which they embarked. the Casstutdrians. In the night of
July 6, this squadron entered the Gulf of Salonica, and 1,500
of tie moat resslute Greeks• having landed on the coast,
marched under cover of the darkness upon two batteries este-
b)ishod by the .Turks for the defence of their port. The troops
on guard were surprised, and killed or dispersed. The Cassan-
drians, after having spread alarm into the very city, which the
Turks consider as the second capital of the Empire, shipped
the artillery of the batteries on board the squadron, and set
sail for Cassandra. There, the troops having disembarked at
break of day in the port Couphos, divided into two parties, of
which one marched on the town of Cassandra, which gives
name to the Peninsula—the other to the Isthmus, called' the
• Cascandrian Gates. The squadron supported their operations
by sea. The Turkish garrison, surprised in the town, was
cut to pieces, and the whole Peninsula, which it cost the Turks
seven months to take, was reconquered by the Greeks in six
hours.—/'niter this success, the latter landed on the Isthmus the
artillery they had taken in the port of Salonica, and fortified
the passage. This time they are better armed than they were
before they evacuated it, and they are supported by an esta-
blished Government, which knows the importance of the diver-
sion they effect against the Parks in Macedonia."
VIENNA, AUG. O.—News from St. Peters-
burgh,. of luly 94, affirm that the Emperor
Alexander will reacii Vienna on the 7th Sep-
.stember. •
FridocaroaT, Auo. 14.—Extract of a Letter
from St Petersbuqk; July' 8 (eoth.)—" M. de
Poletica, our Envoy Extraordinary and Minister
,Plenipotentiary to the United States, having

long since requested to be recalled on account of
his ill health, he is to be succeeded by Baron
Thuyll, who formerly filled the same post at
Lisbon. This circumstance will' a little discon-
cert the Times and other Journals, which are'the
organs of the sarne opinious, and which eagerly
gave extracts from the correspondence between
Mr. Poletica and Mr. Adams, on the Ukase of
4th (16) September, 1321, by which his Majesty
the Emperor has regula►ed the interest of the
Russian American Company. For though the'
discussion was carried on in very temperate
language on both sides, it was, notwithstanding,
inferred from it that a rupture between the two
parties was inevitable .—Thus the men who calcu-
late their future existence only in present disorders,
and who would carry the torch of war into all
parts of the world to rise from that obscurity,
which, however, they will not escape, have once
more taken their hopes for realities ; and the
best proof of the good understanding that con-
tinues to subsist between Russia and thellnited
States, is doubtless the nomination of a new
Minister, in the person of • Baron de Thuyil de
Seraskerchen."—(.lournalile Frankfort,Aug. 14.)
BUCHAREST, J ni,y 21.—The appointment of
the new Ilospodar gives great satisfaction both
to the Boyars and the people in general, as they
hope to be thereby relieved from the tyranny of
the Turkish Commanders. The Pacha here has
received orders from Silistrialo leave Wallachia
With his troops ; and the latter have in fact re-
ceived orders to be ready to march ; but now
there is one circumstanceln the way, and that is,
that the Pacha must first give them their arrears
of pay, amounting to 500,000 piastres. We have
therefore good reason to fear that so long as this
sum is not to be collected from the country,
he will not depart with his troops. From the
moment that thts.firtnan came, the Pacha ceased
to meddle in the civil affairs of the country;
his functions are now restricted to the military.
The troops on the other hand seem but little
inclined to go away, because they think they
shall have to fight the Insurgents in the Morea.
—lt was usual for the Greek Princes,. when
they were nominated by the Porte, 'to bring
with them SO or 100 needy Greek families from
Constantinople, to whom the chief offices in the
State were given. This was the reason that the
poor people groaned under the Greek Govern-
ment. The native Boyars dared• not make any
opposition. They now see themselves at once
delivered from these blood-suckers, and have
well-founded hopes that all the money will not,
in future, be carried out of the country by the
Greeks. It is reported that the Metropolitan
Dionysius, who is still at Cronstadt, has received
orders from the Prince immediately to return to
Bucharest, to resume the functions of his import-
ant office. \\Mettler he will return seems doubt-
ful, because he is accused of having aided the
Hetarists by a contribution of 10,000 piastres.
MARSEILLES, JULY 30.—Accounts from Con-
stantinople say that the Porte has taken energe-
tic measures to assemble a powerful army in Ma-
cedonia, and orders to this cnd troops from Bul-
garia. It is probable that the corps on the Da-
nube will be ordered to Macedonia, as the Porte
is now certain that this year at least, there will
be no war with Russia. It is said to have re-
quested the Ministers of the mediating Powers,
in a note, to prevail on the Russian Cabinet, as it
is so inclined to maintain peace, to withdraw its
armies from the frontiers of the Turkish dominions.
In Constantinople itself the party ofllaleb Effen-
di has at present a decided—superiority, but
also many powerful adversaries, who labour,
especially in the Seraglio,. at his destruction.
—This struggle between the great men of the
empire may lead to important consequences.
The English Ambassador, Lord Strangford, is
said to have closely connected himself with
ilaleb's party, and thereby to-have regained very
great influence --(Allgemeine Zeitung, Aug. 12.)
