There is reason to believe that His MAJESTY
will, not be able to carry into effect his intention
to visit Scotland this summer. The season will be
too far advanced on his return from Ireland for
him to visit either Scotland or-Hanover; and the
gratification which he anticipated from both these
journies must be deferred to another year.

The French Papers of Wednesday, which ar-
r:ved this day, contain fresh accounts of the
atrocious conduct of the Turks, and must increase
the general feeling of detestation and horror
against these barbarians. The cruelties perpe-
trated at Constantinople, and more especially
the horrid brutalities to which a number of young
females belonging to the first Greek families
were subjected, have been repeated at Smyrna
ar:d Sidonia. It is time that these outrages
against humanity should cease, and that
all Christendom should promptly interfere in the
cause of suffering Greece to prevent the further
shedding of the blood of our fellow Christians.
The following are extracts :
" ST. CLOUD, JULY 24.—After mass the Eng-
lish Ambassador had a private audience of the
King. His Majesty, in the afternoon, took an
airing in the neighbourhood.
" PARIS, JULY 24.—We learn from Calais
that Prince Leopold of Saxe Cobourg landed at
that port on the 21st, and immediately set out
for Paris.

" The Duchess of Devonshire arrived yester

day at Paris.
" The Keeper of the Seals has set out for the
Waters of Mont d' Or. By a Royai Ordi-
nance of the 18th of July, Count Portalis is
charged, during his absence, with the porte-
feuille of the Minister of Justice.

ShItRNA, JUNE 19.—Four days ago the
Consuls and European merchants, who have taken
refuge on board the shipping in the road, saw
their houses and offices destroyed by the Turkish
population, united with the Janissaries. This
undisciplined race, after having massacred the
Mouselim, or the Mahometan Lieutenant-Ge-
neral, who opposed himself to their fury, obliged
the Pacha of Gesarea to allow them to do what-
ever they thought proper. Thus, in a short time,
the opulent Smyrna, its magazines, its riches, and
its prosperity, will have disappeared. All which
is Christian, whether Greek, Armenian, or
Frank,is exterminated. The Catholic and Ortho-
dox Churches are objects of fury to a people
without restraint, and excited by fanaticism.
I calculate that the number of Christians, of all
ages and sexes, who have fallen by the poniards
of the Mahometans, amount to nearly 12,000,
and they no longer hide their design of extirpat-
ing Christianity, and transforming their empire
into another ancient Taurida, where Christians
are to be admitted, as in Japan, by submitting
to the most revolting humiliations. But without
anticipating the future, I- leave you to judge

of the enormous losses which their commerce of
the Levant is suffering, and the bankruptcies
which will be the inevitable consequence. . . •
The town of Sidonia, which the Turks call
Ivalic, which contained 30,000 Christians, has
been burnt by the Turks, who have put to the
sword all the inhabitants capable of bearing arms,
and borne off their wives and children, as slaves,
to the interior.—The Colleges, the Schools, the
Churches, the Infirmary, and the Public Li-
brary—nothing belonging to this once flourishing
town at present remains.—(Constitutionnel.)
" CORFU, JUNE 20.—A part of the English
fleet, in the Mediterranean, is arrived in our seas.
—We are in daily expectation of Sir Graham
I Moore, with the remainder of the squadron.

" We learn from the coast of Africa that the
Algerines and Tunisians are arming to aid the
Porte against the Greeks.
" VIENNA, JULY 14.—Letters from Constan-
tinople announce that Count de Luntzou, our
Internuncio at the Porte, offered his'mediation to
adjust the differences between the Russian Minis-
ter and the Divan, but his interposition was de-
clined. The same letters state that the Porte
has communicated a declaration to the Ministers
of some of the Foreign Powers, in which he sets
out his grievances against Russia. Subsequent
letters mention that the Paella of Egypt has re-
fused to send any assistance to the Porte, and
that he is in correspondence with the Greek in-
surgents. [This is very probable, for it is well
known that Mehemet has long wished to make
himself independ en t of the 0 ttoman‘Government.]
" A subscription has been opened in our town
for the relief of the Greek refugees, who con-
tinue daily to arrive, and are treated with all the
attention due to their misfortunes and necessities.
The subscription already amounts to a consider-

able sum.
" The whole of Thessaly is in full insurrection.

ment.

" The Turks devastate in the most frightful
manner Moldavia and Walachia. They burn
whole villages, and make slaves of such of the
inhabitants as escape death.
" Yesterday we received news of the death of
Napoleon, by express from M. Rothschild, the
banker, at Paris. This intelligence was soon
known i❑ every part of the town, and produced
a great sensation. It is remarked that the Court

has not put on mourning.
" TRIESTE, Jur.y 14.—A Greek vessel from
Alexandria brings an account of the insurrection
of the Drusi of Mount Lebanus against the So-
vereign Authority of the Porte. They are re-
ported to have defeated the Paella of Damascus,
and to have formed the design of attacking the
town of Damascus, which is almost entirely in-
habited by Turks who are very rich.
4C AUGSBURG, JULY M.—Our correspondent
at Vienna informs us that though the insurrec-
tion is nearly suppressed in Walachia and Mol-
davia, it has suddenly broken out in Macedonia,
and that even the Bulgarians have raised the
standard of revolt. We observe, however, no
concert in these movements, and the chiefs of
these partial insurrections are not named.
" With respect to Servia, there are two
parties in this province, one of which wishes to
make common cause with the Greeks, while
the other inclines to neutrality until war be de-
clared between Russia and the Porte. The lat-
ter party is at present the most numerous : but
the cruelties committed by the Turks in the for-
tresses of this province have much exasperated
the Servians, whose discontent spews itself on
every occasion. The least spark would kindle a
general flame in this country.

" It is positively known that not only the siege
of Joannina is raised, but all the Ottoman troops
in Albania are retreating out of that country with
the greatest precipitation, agreeably to orders re-
ceived from Constantinople, as they apprehend
their retreat may be cut off, in consequence of
an insurrection having broken out in the interior
of Turkey.

" Prince Ypsilanti is on his journey to Trieste
from Hermanstadt, in Transylvania, and means
to embark for the Morea. Great events are ex-
pected to take place in that quarter."

Hamburgh and Flanders Mails arrived this
morning, and the following are their contents :

44 CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 16.--At the beginning
of this month the Russian Ambassador Baron
Strogonoff delivered several notes to the Porte,
the object of which was to induce it to adopt
just. and equitable measures towards the Greeks.
He required that the innocent should not be
treated like the guilty, and that the latter should
not be sentenced till after formal examination.
As long as the Porte continued to inspire terror

by the system hitherto pursued, Russia would
not refuse an asylum to any fugitive Greeks. If
the cruelties hitherto committed should be con-
tinued, he had orders to go on board a packet
boat with all the persons belonging to his Lega-
tion. These notes were very ill received ; in
particular, the Porte declared that it would not
suffer any packet boat, because these, as Govern-
ment vessels, are exempt from being visited.
Notwithstanding this, a packet from Odessa ar-
rived on the 2d June, and anchored at Bujukdere
before the Russian Palace, near the Turkish
Guard ship. As soon as this was known at Con-
stantinople, the Governor of the neighbour-
ing forts, on whom the guard ship depends, was
removed from his office, and the Captain
Pacha with a considerable force repaired to the
spot in order to execute the orders of the Sul-
tan. He declared that unless the packet boat
sailed in 48 hours force would be employed.
On this an animated correspondence took place
between Baron Strogonoff and the Porte. When
the Baron found his remonstrances had no effect,
her suddenly took the resolution to leave Pera
with the Legation, and repaired on the .sth to
Bujukdere. This decisive step excited a great

sensation at Constantinople.
TURKLSII FRONTIER, JULY 4.—Commercial
letters from Turkey say that the Russian Am-
bassador is no longer at Bujukdere, where he was
strictly watched by the Turks, but that he had
found means to embark on board a Russian ship
for Odessa.

44 MOLD VVIAN FRONTIERS, JULY 3.—Jassy
has been in the hands of the Turks since
the 26th ultimo, and a Government, com-
posed of Boyars, established : a person of the
name of Siuzzobing, one of the members, has
giVen rise to the erroneous report that the late
Hospodar was again at the head of the Govern-
ment. It is said that Kallimachi, who was re-
moved four years ago, will again be appointed to
this post. Kantecuzeno has been forced to leave
his good camp, situated between the Monastery of
Kosmowau and the Village of Stinga, pressed by
the superiority of the Turks, and by foreign tac-
tics or manoeuvres, and to retire to Bessarabia.—
Pendedela and some hundred Greeks have fal-
len. Ypsilanti is hemmed in, in the mountains
of Kimpolungo near Cronstadt.
lIAMDURGIi, JUDY 20.—The British Charge
d'Affaires, Mr. Mellish, yesterday presided at a
grand entertainment in the Salon d'Apollon, in
honour of the Coronation of King George IV.
A. numerous company of English, Hanoverians,
and others celebrated, with the greatest enthu-
siasm, this happy occurrence. The usual pa-
triotic and loyal toasts were drunk, and the fa-
vourite national airs sang in great perfection.—
Hamburgh Papers, Juicy 20.)
"CORFU, JUNE 15.—We learn from the Morea,
that all the forts in the Peninsula, including
Patras, are in the hands of the brave Pelepon-
nesians. The Peleponnesus is now quite free
from armed Mussulmen ; some peaceable and un-
armed Mussulmen remain in the country, where
they follow agriculture. They have nothing to
fear from the Greeks, who have promised to
protect them, and keep their word.
" FRANKFORT, JULY 17.—1 t is affirmed that

there are at this moment important communica-
tions going on between the great Northern
Powers, and between those Powers and France
and England. It is certain that these communi-
cations are relative to a Note addressed by the
Ottoman Porte to several Sovereigns respecting
its differences with Russia. It was said at Ber-
lin, that Russia would adopt the system that
should be taken by Austria, in case the Rus-
sians should invade the Tnrkish territory. A re-
port was current at Berlin that the garrison of
the Grand Duchy of Posen were to be reinforced
by the regiments now in East Prussia.

" Commercial letters from Vienna and Odessa
continue to assert that there will be no war be-
tween Russia and the Porte, and that the great
I'owers will become umpires.
BRUSSELS, JULY 20.—Accounts from Ba-
tavia of 27th January, state that some mutineers
had again attempted to disturb the public tran-
quillity at Banca, and to seize on the fort of
Koba, but bad been repulsed and put to flight.
" The cause of the measures to be taken to-
wards the Vrai Liberal and the Flambeau is not
yet known, but it is supposed that they pro-
ceeded chiefly from the representations of a
neighbouring Government."

Extract of a Letter from the Agents to Lloyd's at Smyrna,

dated 19th June :

" This city has, since our last, continued subject
to disorder, but no injury has been sustained by

Europeans, in person or property, in possession,
and we trust no occurrences will take place to
involve the town in general, which is quiet at

present.
Great protection for order and safety is af-

forded by Iris Majesty's ship illedina, and 2
French ships of war in port. The Racehorse
brig of war had pro ceeded on a cruize in the
Archipelago, on the 14th instant, just before
serious disturbances broke out. An embargo has
been renewed, witlth these fctur days, on all
vessels in OH? port—they 'are crowded with
Europead and other families from the shore, in
consequence of the alarm lately excited. A
Turkish ship of the line has been destroyed by
fire, after an attack by a number of Greek vessels,
off Myteline, in which the Greeks lost many
ships. They continue, as far as we have learned,
to maintain neutrality to all European flags."

Extract of a Letter from the Agents to Lloyd's, at Constan-
tinople, dated .25th June.

" The Turkish -fleet having proceeded as far
as My teline, has been driven by the Greek squa-
dron within the Castles of the Dardanelles, where

it is waiting reinforcements, now preparing with
great activity. The Greeks have destroyed one
man of war, and, according to report, have

take► a frigate."
Extract of a Letter from the Agents to Lloyd's, at Malta,
dated June 14.

44 The Cambrian frigate, with the remaining
four Companies of the 36th Regt. on board, will
sail to-morrow for the lonian Islands. The

Transport' No. 31, with troops, is entering the
?arbour. Two other vessels, supposed trans-

ports, are in sight."

This being the day appointed by the CHAN-
CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER to receive the bid-
dings for a New Lottery, the Gentlemen in-
clined to be Bidders attended at the Treasury at
eleven o'clock, when after some conversation re-
specting the terms of bidding and the Scheme to
be allow ed, the following were the Biddiugs :

CANADA.—We have received a complete series
of the Quebec Gazettes to the 14th of June, from
which we shall continue to make extracts for the
information of our Readers at the outports. It
appears that the Legislature of Lower. Canada
was to meet on the IGth of the present month for
the dispatch of business.

REDUCTIONS IN TILE PUBLIC OFFICES.-If it
is not already too late, we trust this harsh and
penurious,—this cheese-paring measure, will be
for the present suspended, and ultimately aban-
doned altogether. For the sake of humanity, it
is to be hoped that persons holding offices with
very large salaries will rather come voluntarily
forward, and surrender a portion of their liberal
incomes, on condition that the meritorious class
of men, many of whom have long served the
country, by the faithful discharge of laborious
duties, for a comparatively trifling remuneration,
shall be spared the ruinous reduction with which
they are threatened, for a paltry object absolutely
unworthy of national consideration, and utterly
incapable of producing any sensible advantage to
the people at large. The Earl of LIVERPOOL,
influenced by these liberal considerations, is said
to have opposed, though unsuccessfully, this un-
worthy sacrifice to the clamourers for indiscrimi-
nate retrenchment, and to have suggested that the
reductions should only be made upon the high
salaries. This benevolent effort, on the part of
his Lordship, to preserve a deserving body of
the public servants from the distressing embar-
rassments with which they are uselessly threat-
; ened, does him honour, and we sincerely hope
he will renew his opposition to the proceeding,
and persevere until his opposition is successful.—
, Though it is not to be expected that such in-
stances of patriotic munificence as that afforded
by the Marquis CAMDEN, who laid down upon
the altar of his country an income of twenty
thousand a year,—though it is not to be expected
that similar instances of generous disinterested-
ness should frequently occur, it is not too much
to expect that those who are in the enjoyment of
large annual sums fromihe public, should volun-
tarily make some partial sacrifice in behalf of the
numerous parties whose salaries are not more
than adequate to the duties and responsibility of
their situations, or the value or duration of their
past services; nor would it be either unjust or
severe to compel them to make the requisite re-
ductions, rather than to wring a few paltry
pounds from the inferior officers. Besides, the
salaries of some offices have already been greatly
lessened by the abolition of fees. We ,know a
Gentleman whose emoluments, previous to the
abolition, amounted from a thousand to twelve
hundred a year; the loss of his fees has reduced
his income to six hundred a year, without effect-
in:, an adequate reduction in his large family,
which continued to increase, in spite of the dimi-
nution of his means. We have reason to believe
that this is one out of many similar instances. Is
it proposed to effect a further reduction of 20 per
cent. in the salaries of persons whose incomes
have already been so severely curtailed ? It
would almost he justifiable to say that such a
measure would not only be severe, but cruel
and unjust.
