INSURRECTION IN CANDIA.

Eynard, of Geneva, has addressed a letter to the members
(1 the former Greek Committees of Switzerland, Germany,
France, and other countries, in which, after recapitulating the
general grievances of the Christian inhabitants of Camelia since
1821, and pointing out the grounds upon which they are now
making their stand against the Turks, he claims sympathy for
The Candiotes, and h; says that a service would be rendered,
Only to them, but even to the Porte, if Candia could be
united to the kingdwm of Greece, under condition of paying an
odtl annual tribute to the Porte, and that at all events the rims-
' sacces of the inhabitants should cease. " The last news nave
siO received from Candia," M. Eynard adds, " mention several
sisaarl ,',fa°l4bats ; blood has been shed on both sides ; the Christians
~are had the upper hand, they have taken some cannons, and,
Nu_ !bough there are as yet no positive results, it is an immense
t'dki„.rs advantage to have resisted with such small means against
vi• 'troops numerous and well armed." The same gentle-
' S'ian has published a letter addressed to the Debuts, which
e"tains some observations upon an article given by that
Journal a short time since in favour of the Christians
in the East. The purport of this communication is to state
that M. Eynard coincides with the Debars in recommending
- that France, in common with the other powers of Europe,
• Should not take the part of the Christian insurgents against the
cute, but should use all her influence to induce, and, if need
be, force the Porte to treat the Christian populations, subjected
its• h • •
authority, with justice and kindness, to grant to them
better conditions of government than they now enjoy,
ther with a more liberal system of administration, and the real
enjoyment of civil rights. This journal also inserts a firman,
addressed by the Porte to all Pachas Governors of provinces,
which is to the same effect as the circular issued after the grant-
"tlg of the hatti-scheriff of Gulhane, strictly enjoining them to
.chow. the strictest impartiality towards all the Christian s'ibjects
!argue Sultan, and protect them from all insults.
• " The Paris Assocatium," says the Gazette de France,
formed in December last, for watching the progress of affairs
the East, and for aiding the Christians, held a general meet-
'''l2ll on Thursday, and resolved that a deputation should be
Lenittteto M. de Chateaubriand, President of the Central Com-
e, urging him to call another meeting, and also to wait
° tun Laffitte and M. Lasteyrie, members of the old Greek
vemmittee, and entreat them to become part of the new Central
Committee. In addition to the personages whose names we
have already given, Messrs. Arago, Odilon Barrot, and Mau-
Pitt, the Duke de Fitzjames, the Marquis de Laroche-
''t; Jacquelin, and Admiral Lalande, have become members of this

" For nearly two months, active hostilities have been car-
' on between the Turks and the Greeks of Candia. In
rery tonfliet the Turks have been compelled to retreat, but
• bate avenged themselves on the peaceable and helpless pea-
, 'awry. Thus, after being beaten by a detachment of incur-
ge'l„ fa under the brave Basilacogiorgi, they set fire to three
" villages in the defile of Heraclium massrcred all the men,
Women, and children, and committed other atrocities. Many
' of the victims were killed in the churches to which they had flea
'for refuge, and which were profaned by the unbridled ex-
ee sses of the soldiery. Ten years ago, the high Powers had
Just cause for delivering Candia from the yoke of the barba-
rians, but a certain good will towards the Pacha of Egypt,
and
a reliance upon the spirit of civilisation and tolerance
'alsely attributed to him, probably induced the diplomatists,
Who raised Greece once more into a kingdom, to have Candia
under Ottoman domination; We are astonished at seeing
, Christian powers maintain the Turks, those labourers for the
't,, I,rutalization of mankind, in possession of one of the great
hoe
of Europe, when they might be driven out by a single
'ne of a protocol. Will they now suffer this Christian people
to be crushed under the enormous weight of their enemies,
because they cannot resign themselves to an odious slavery ?
Rill Europe, who sends her missionaries with copies of the
I.l°lY Gospel'of Christ into all parts of the world, suffer the
churches within her own circle to be thrown down, and
thnusands of Christians to perish under the barbarities of the
Turks? Certainly not ! or justice, national religion, huma-
'WY, and the Christian virtues, will become vain and empty
words."
A letter from Candia, says the Constitutionnel, states that
the insurgent directory has issued an order prohibiting the
Christians from cutting off the heads or otherwise mutilating
the bodies of their enemies left on the field of battle. It is
added, that the prisoners are humanely treated by the Chris-
trans,
and employed on fortifications in the mountains. The
, -insurgent Candiotes, according to a Constantinople mitre-
'. sPondent of the Seinaphore, have bought seventeen merchant
vessels, which they intend to fit out to act against the Turks.

BERLIN, JUL!' s.—The Prussian State Gazette gives
an interesting statement respecting the population of
the Prussian Monarchy, which has a progressive increase
at every trienial census during the last 15 years. At the

14,907,091 ; at the close of 1837, 14,098,125 ; increase
in three years, 801,966.

WESTMINSTER ELECTION.
It will be seen from the following table that in fire
, Parishes, viz. St. Anne's, the Outward of St. George's,
Bt. John's, St. Margaret's, and St. Paul's, Evans, in 1837,
Polled 1,531, and in 1841, 1,542 ; and Leader, in 1837,
polled 1,579, and in 1841, 1,606—that is. Evans polled
eleven more at the last election, and Leader twenty-six

nth
growing strength of the Tories, for in every parish,
Nv..‘lll the exception of St. John's and St. Margaret's,
it ere the increase was only thirty-seven in their favour,
will be seen they polled fewer at the late election than
were polled for Burdett in 1837. Murray's contest must
ii t be the criterion of the strength or weakness cif the
()Conservatives, but Burdett's, when they were as well
prepared and as active as at the last election, and when,
than to the common opinion at te time, not more
about 50 Liberals voted for Burdehtt.
