HOMBURG died the day before yesterday at eight
o'clock in the morning, at the age of 75 years

been received from Rome that the negociations
are now concluded which have been carrying on
with the Papal See respecting the organization
and regulation of the Catholic Church in the
Protestant German States which joined together
for this purpose, and that the Pope has accepted
and sanctioned by a Bull the proposals of the
Commissioners, who have been sitting for some
time at Frankfort. The Landgrave Frederick of
Hesse Cassel has accepted the invitation tc fix
his winter residence in future at Gotha, as he
will not return to Cassel.

SA LONICKI, July 30.—(From a Commercial
Letter.)—Since the late events our situation has
become less alarming. The
.Turkish arms have
again subjected all the villages that had revolted
from our city to Mount Athos and Orfano. Only
two rather difficult points still remain, Monte
Santo and Cassandra, where the Greeks seem
disposed to make a long resistance, and the
Turks, on their side,- are preparing to at-
tack them on two sides. -The above village.g
had been deceived- entirely by the flatteries
and threats of the Greek armed vessels,,
which assured them that Alexander Ypsilanti
was already master of Moldavia, Wallachia, and
Servia, and threatened Constantinople with' an
army of 150,000 men. By such delusion they
plunged the poor people in the greatest misery,
for above 30 villages which attempted to revolt
have been plundered and burnt by the Turks:
Here (at Salonichi) the Greeks continue to be
thrown into prison, and to be burdened with
heavy contributions ; many rich Greek houses,
which had outstanding debts in thosse villages,
aro ruined, as well as the country people them-
selves. There are still executions every day ;
a week ago the Greek Archbishop and two
Greek merchants were beheaded, and their heads
exposed for three days together to the'insults of
the Turks. , They were said to be implicated in
the conspiracy ;, at least it is said that princely
insignia of honour, and dresses were found in the
house of one of them, it being his design, if•
things turned out" favourable, to become Prince.
of SalOnichi.. He' had had the clothes made by
a Greek tailor, but this wretch turned Mali°.
metan and betrayed him. In the quarter of the
Franks we enjoy perfect tranquillity. -Com-
merce goes on Without interruption.
SEIVILIN, SEPT. 3:—According to accounts from
Serer, in Macedonia, of August 22, the Pacha of
Salonichi had collected. all his forces in the
middle of Augusti.and-Marched towards Cassan-
dra, to meet the_ victorious Greeks (stated at
20,000 men„) who were advancing from the side.
of St. Catarina, in Thessaly. Alexander Stagi-
mita, who commanded the Greeks,' defeated the
Turks near Cassandra on the 18th'August, so
that the remains of the Turkish army with diffi-
culty escaped to Salonichi. Among the numerous
prisoners is stated to be a corps of 400 Jews, w hich
had been voluntarily formed at Salonichi, out of
'hatred to the Greeks. The Greeks, adds the
letter, who treated the Turkish prisoners' mildly,
mutilated most of the Jewish prisoners in the
most cruel manner, cutting off chins, noses, and
hands. If the friends of humanity must feel pro-
found abhorrence of such cruelties, it is allesed;

on the other hand, that. the Jews throughout Tur-
key are in league to destroy the Greeks. All the
Turkish Governors, even military commandants,
are said, now that the. Greeks are proscribed, to
have only Jews for their agents ; and in the ex-
ecution of the most cruel acts of 'the Turkish
barbarians, Jews are said to he u,snally the in-
struments. Numerous events of this-nature have
excited an inextinguishable hatred between the
Greeks and the Jews. At Salonichi all the
Jews ha.ve armed' theMselvefi, formed a body
guard for the Cadi, and during the absence of
the Pacha in his expedition against the Greeks
kept in cheek the Greeks living in the city, who,
it is true, were previously• disarmed.' It must
not be forgotten that the Jews in Turkey, in
consequence of the heavy oppression under
which they are placed, are at the lowest step in
the scale of civilization, and can by no means he
placed on a level with their brethren living in
the Christian European States.
SEPT. 4.—ln explanation of my letter yester-
day, I add, the Greeks, who advanced victorious
from St. Catarina, in Thessaly, had passed over
the narrow .bay, which, when the wind is fair,
may be crossed in an hour, to Cassandra, in Ma-
cedonia. Three thousand Thessalians had landed
at Cassandra, who joined the Greeks from Mount
Athos. The whole force of the Christians is said
to have' amounted to nearly 20,-000 men, who
were joined during the battle by all the inhabit-
ants of the coasts of that district. The priests of
Mount Athos carried the Cross before them, and
inflamed the enthusiasm- pf the Christians to the
highest pitch, so that the Turks were totally
defeated.
