we sacrifice mea with whose services we cannot
dispense, who are useful to us, and who cannot

jure us ?"
The Oriental Spectator then ob3erves, that
" the Greeks of Europe and in the Archipelago
have. revolted : naturally they must suffer the
consequences of their rebellion. They have re-
lied on their numbers, but the Greeks of Asia
cannot form this consideration, for there the
inverse is the case. Every where on the
coast, as well as in the interior of the
country, where they are blended with the
Mussulman popuiatto.,
rp only the.
proportion or one to ten. 'Consequently it
is impossible to rebel with any prospect of
success. The inhabitants of .Aivali dared to put
this truth to the test, and Aivali is no more.
According to all accounts from Asia, the ex-
ample of this unhappy town will be the only
one of this kind that will be given in this
country." The article then describes the ruined
and desolate condition of the interior of the
Greek provinces, owing to the present disturbed
state of affairs, and says, that many parts
which were lately deemed the granaries of the
Turks art now wholly uncultivated ; and that in
several villages which were formerly very flourish.
ing, the silence of death now prevails. The
Continental Greeks, it proceeds to state,
are attached to the place of their birth, and
rarely quit their habitations ; while the In-
sular Greeks in general leave their native isles,
where they are half starved, and repair to Con-
stantinople, Smyrna, Salonica, and other large
towns, to subsist on the fruits of their industry.
None of these Greek islands can exist without
the Continent, and they cannot with impunity
carry on hostilities against Turkey. The 61%,ec-
tater afterwards adds, that these islanders are
already divided among themselves, that they
consider themselves as an independent State, and
have acted as such iu visiting the ships of Eu-
ropean Powers : and concludes by asking, "
much longer is this state of things to last ? A

is fermentation : all is anarchy in the countries
close to the Archipelago. Solemn treaties, and
mutually advantageous, bind the first powers of
Europe to the Ottoman Empire. The present
state of things is evidently contrary to their in-
terests, as regards the Levant Trade, and will not

-- the evil, if it is prolonged, become incurable 1"

In another article of the Oriental Spectator,
inserted in the Austrian Observer, it appears that
the Governor of Smyrna has been arrested by
an order of the Sultan, and sent to Constantin-
ople. In the Isle of Samos, the Greeks are pre-
paring to give the Turks a warm resistance, if
they should attempt to put into execution their
threatened descent on that island.

Saturday last being the Feast of St. Lours,
the King of FRANCE received the congratulations
of all the Royal Family, and the Princes and
Princesses of the Blood Royal. The Ministers,
the Dignitaries, and the great Officers of the
State, the Foreign Ambassadors, &c. &c. after-

'the Eannat ; and it Is conjectured that, if
hostilities should break out between Russia
and the Porte) the Cabinet of Vienna will
furnish the former power with an auxiliary
force of 40,000 men, under the command of the
Baron de FRIMONT, who has been ordered from
Naples for this purpose. On the other hand, an
article inserted in the Austrian Observer of the
15th of August, which is regarded as the organ
of the Austrian Government, gives us reason to
suppose that the intentions of the Cabinet of
Vienna are pacific; and that the Greeks will be
abandoned to their fate. The article we allude
to is copied from the Oriental Spectator, a Jour-
nal published at Smyrna, and is dated the
Bth of July. It states that the Greeks who
had taken refuge on board the ships in the
Harbour of Smyrna, were induced to return
to their homes, in consequence of the so-
lemn promises of the Turks, that they should
not be molested ; and that the few assassinations
which have since taken place, must he imputed
to private revenge or fanaticism, and not to the
Janissaries as a body, who, have on the contrary,
exerted themselves in every possible way, to main-
tain good order. Here The Spectator, while it ad-
mits that the spirit of hatred and resentment against
the Greeks is not extinguished, regrets that the
latter are not sufficiently circumspect in their be-
haviour towards the Mussulmans, who, for the
most part, are disposed to treat them with lenity;
and it then says, that " it is only the lowest
rabble who have shewn themselves implacable,
but fortunately they are not numerous ; and that
the majority of the population desire nothing
so much as the restoration and continuance
of public tranquillity. We have heard them
say, ' What interest have we in extirpating
the race of Greeks ? The future terrifies us.—
What hands would knead our bread, build our
houses, and cultivate our fields ? Why should
