TILE INSURRECTION IN CRETE.

ATHENS, Aug. 15.
The following letter has been addressed by the
insurrectionary Government of Crete to the consuls
of England, France, Russia, Austria, Prussia,
Italy, Greece, Sweden, and the United States of
America :--

Askyfo de Sphakia, Aug. 9.
Messieurs les Consuls—The generalissimo of
Turkey, Omer Pacha, having failed in his last ex-
pedition in spite of his immense military prepara-
tions, his numerous army, the strict blockade which
he had instituted both by sea and land, and his pro-
mises to the insurgents, abandoned himself without
restraint to the dictates of a ferocious heart. Ho
burned all the villages of Sphakia, with the ex-
ception of Comitato and Prosjals, which were
partly destroyed. He cut down the trees and set
fire to the bee-hives, searched all the caves in which
the inhabitants had hidden their small properties,
opened the tombs, and scattered the remains of the
persons who had been long interred, while he cut off
the heads and limbs of corpses re3ently buried. He
surrounded caves where women, children, old men,
and sick had taken refuge, and, having induced
them to come forth by promises and protestations,
caused them to be subjected to the most cruel tor-
tures, and this at the moment he had assured M.
Boutacoff, the Russian consul, that he had treated
them with lenity. . . . Omer Pasha also put
to death the nun Trajina, blind from her birth,
Cali, Papanicola, S. Vergaki, N. Parlaki, and
Jean de Trivara, whose bodies ho insulted. In
the village of Colocassia he had an old man
named Giatnoulakey and a priest slaughtered.
During his return to Heraclion on the 28th and
30th of last mouth; Reschid Pacha committed even
greater atrocities against the defenceless, to revenge
himself for his defeat. This leader ravaged the pro-
perty of the Christians and burnt the convent of
Preveli. At Metampes he massacred an old man
named Gianacachi Christophoraki, and a girl, whose
bodies he cast into the flames, as well as the monk
Gedeon, whose head he impaled upon the cross sur-
mounting the church. Other persons, whose names
we have not been able to learn, also fell victims to

his fury.
The Cretan Government, while deploring these
brutal and ferocious acts, which enlightenment and
civilisation condemn, protests in the name of hu-
manity to your Governments, and implores their
aid, that the weak and the defenceless may be
saved.

We embrace at the same titne this opportunity of
denying the false statements, spread by Omer Pasha,
concerning the pretended submission of Candia.
Far from such being the case, not a child has given
in its submission, not a weapon has been delivered
up, not a signature has ratified any such proposal ;
and let it be well noted that in Sphakia alone he
has now been carrying on war against us for an
entire month. Omer Pacha has attempted to delude
his own Government and to mislead European opi-
nion, but the Christians of Candia oppose to his
mendacious words the rattle of their arms and the
report of their muskets, which have not ceased and
will not cease to resound from one extremity of the
island to the other, until our deliverance and our
union with independent Greecc.
We beg to lay thid present communication before
our Government: (The signature follow.)
