LONDON,
TUESDAY, JUNE 5, 1821.

We received this morning the Paris Papers, of
Friday and Saturday last. The most recent
news from Constantinople announae that the
dreadful massacres have at length been put an
end to; that the Porte has prohibited the Turks,
with the exception of the soldiery, to go about
with arms, and that the Christians or ragas have
been ordered to open again their shops. The in-
surrection of the Greeks in the Morea, in Thes-
saly; and the Archipelago, is making rapid pro-
gress. • The Hydriots and Ispariots are reported
to have equipped a fleet of 300 sail, and to take
possession of all the Turkish vessels which they

meet. , A frigate and three brigs of war have al-
ready fallen into their power. This intelligence
is of the first importance to the cause of the
Greeks, as the Porte possesses no effectual means
of subduing the maritime insurrection ; for,
though the Ottoman fleet is very considerable,
vet it cannot be fitted out and manned but by
Greek mariners, on whose fidelity no reliance
can be placed in a contest against their own
countrymen. The accounts from Moldavia are
also highly favourable to the cause of Greek hide..

pendence. . The army there is divided into three
corps, with which YPSILANTI means to penetrate
into Silistria, in order to pass the Danube, and
make himself master of the coasts of the Black
Sea. THEODOIit SLUDZIER proposes also to pass
the Danube, lay siege to Nicopolis,, .and then
proceed to Sophia, to co-operate With the Bal.'
garians and Servians. The report of Am Pacifh!-
having rejected all the overtures of the Porte is
confirmed by a letter from Constantinople, and
it is also stated that the Foreign Ministers here,
not considering themselves in safety in that capi-
tal,' have removed to Buyukdere, a village (-11
the Bosphorus. The Porte, on the other hand,
is making great exertions to bring a considerable
army froth Asia, exclusive of the present forces
which have already been sent forward against
tile Greeks. One army is' to take a position on
the Danube, a second is to march into Macedonia
and the Morea, and a third is to cross over
Mount llo2mus, and advance into Bulgaria'
The Janissaries at Adrianople, acid in its envies
rons, are to form the advanced guard.
We learn from Rome that the Ministers 0f
France, Russia, Prussia, and Sardinia accornpa-
nied his Sicilian Majesty on his return t°
Naples, and that the Austrian Minister set out'
for. the Neapolitan capital a few days before."-
A letter from Naples mentions the arrest °f
Signors C TAL A NI, Ito iSI, A. R COVITO, SAO'
NATA, and DONATO, Ex-Deputies of the Parka'
merit. Orders had been sent to Aquila to arrest
Signor D iIAGONETTI, also a Member of the late
Parliament. All, these individuals were arnlfig
the most distinguished supporters of the late
Constitutional System in Naptes.
From Madrid it appears, that a camp of lqiC
the
men is forming there, under the command
celebrated General MoniLLo, and that the eller'
getic measures adopted by him have bad
effect of restoring that capital to. perfect tray'
quillity, and, it is to be hoped, will prevent the
recurrence of those popular excesses wl.,ir,--:rh*bale
to
recently prevailed there. Attempts Conti"-
r
be made in several of the Provinces, to overtua
p
the constitutional system, but all have -la- P.
rders
failed, and a speedy termination to these disc
may reasonably be anticipated from the energy
displayed by the local authorities, and the acti-
vity and courage of the troops.

Charleston Papers arrived this rnorniug to tn'
Ist of May last.
[Extract of a Letter from Rio Janeiro, Feb. 20.1
" His Most Faithful Majesty has" at last de'
cided to send his eldest sou' to Fortu6al with Oe

title of Conitabie, anti it'll powers• to grant an
amnesty and to re-establish the Royal authority.
This determination was made known on the 6th
inst. to the Ministers .of England, Austria,
PrUssia, and Russia, as representing here, with
the exception of France, the High Allied
Powers, and having been more or less engaged
in producing it. I was informed that the Prince
would leave this soon after the confinement of
the Princess. • On asking whether she would ac-
" Piny her husband, her answer was, she in-
sisted upon it, The King would not oppose her
Wishes, but intimated that he would retai❑ her
children as pledges to the Country for the per-
manency of the Throne among them. Such, my
friend, is the lamentable state-of things here.—
What effect the Revolution at Bahia will produce
it is impossible to foresee."
ritox CALCUTTA, JAN. 25.—The whole of
the country of Siam seems in a most deplorable
state, in consequence of the prevalence of the
cholera morbus. . Its ravages were so dreadful,
that at Baiicock alone (the capital) upwards of
forty thousand souls perished. The poorer
Classes of Siamese had unroofed their houses for
the Purpose of admitting vultures and other birds
of prey to perform the office of interment, and
Pestilence and disease reigned throughout.

PERlT.—Official accounts are stated to have
been received at Philadelphia, advising that
beadp one third of Peru had joined the Patriots,
and that all the mines were in their possession.

VENEZUELA.-7An account of the renewal of
heltilities in Venezuela has been received by the
Way of the United States, and the following is
the Proclamation of General de la TORRE, in
"which, as might be expected, he accuses BOLIVA R
as the cause of the renewal of war :
" Soldiers!—After four months of an armistice which was to
tenninate by peace—in the midst of the most religious observ-
"ne of the compact on our part—and whilst negociations, sug-
gegted by himself, were pending, General Bolivar has suddenly
become unmindful of them, and has challenged me either to re-
new the war, or acknowledge pretensions which he knew it not
P.° be in my power to admit. I have overlooked, from the de-
sire of peace, repeated infractions of the treaty on his side; but
Peace he does not want, and he persists in calling down fresh
e'6l3 on his country.
" Soldiers !--New laurels await you in the field of battle ;
,vbitber, you go, armed with right, to vindicate the national
40nour and your own, outraged by this premature declaration
V. 'war. It implies either that you are contemned, or that your
bravery, your victories, and your military virtues are forgotten.
Wu are, therefore, summoned to recollect them yourselves.

` I am about to place myself again at your head, to admire
You and share with you both glory and suffering. The eyes of
the whole world are fixed upon you in admiration. Do not
belie LI this campaign what you have been in others—valiant
'°?arriors, and Spaniards worthy of that august name.
" Soldiers ! I bear in one hand the recompense of your
41 t; in the other, the penalty of your transgressions. I shall
1
lavish in rewarding ; but also inexorable in punishing. Be
°beclient, patient, and courageous, and I will be your compan-
iOn and father. This I swear to you.

While the wisdom of ,Parliament was exercised
In ua•
s-scussing themerits of Sir JAMES MACKIN-
'I°BIVS Bill for the Mitigation of Puniihment in
-C4.3eS of Forgery, we naturally conceived that it
Would be deemed highly presumptuous in us to
!after any
opinion on the subject ; but now that
It has been rejected by a majority in the House
°I Commons, we may be permitted freely to ex-
' press our sentiments. We honour the feelings
°I the founder of the Bill, and are persuaded
that .he was actuated by the best motives, but it
appeared to us, from the first proposition of the
.I.4ensure in question, that it was more calculated
itt° he injurious than beneficial to the Country.
4'fe We not seen, that when the utmost severity
44
the Law was directed against Forgery, the
was still, frequently committed, and has
}1 nclt been evident that it has increased since
Mlle culprits have l'#)'een allowed to plead to the
inillor offence ? The truth is, that a firm execution
of
the Law, unless the mercy of the SOVEREIGN
, il
te"itijnterfere upon suitable occasions, is the best
3traint upon Forgery, and in our Commercial
Liu ant
is„ absolutely necessary, and, indeed,
Is
more likely, to prevent the increase of offences
than
tri, • any relaxations that way be proposed on
e tnerescore of an amiable compassion. The
h
l
est Principle with sound Statesmen upon this
and all other offences that are, injurious to the
"ruronnity is, to use the words of Mr. BURKE,
Cc
4ing-sighted and strong-nervcd humanity,"
Zlhich after all is true humanity, because it corn-
hes justice to individuals with a due regard
to the general interests of the State.
