ODESS.I, OCT. 9.—News from Constantinople
of th.e 6th announce, that the Grand Signior has
given orders for all the Greek and Armenian
Christians to send from their dwellings all per-
sons belonging to a different rite or another Eu-
ropean nation. The object of the measure seems to
be the separation of the Greeks from the subjects
of friendly nations, in order that the latter may be
spared whenever the general massacre oftheG reeks
shall be ordered. We may easily conceive the ter-
ror of the Greeks, which is increased by a report
that the Divan has ordered the houses of the
Greeks to be marked, in order that none may
escape the fury of the populace when this exe-
crable design is perpetrated. The first news of
the commencement of hostilities by Russia, or of
any advantage gained by the insurgents in
Greece, will probably be the signal of a general
mvsacre. The town is filled with Asiatic troops,
who are anxiously waiting for these orders, and
expecting the general pillage of the Greek habi-
tations.

Ii EnSIANSTADT, OCT. 10.—News from Bucha-
rest, of the 6th of this month, state that 3,000
lletaerists arrived in that town the day before,
and that the Porte was preparing seriously for
mar at all points. The Turkish troops in the
two principalities are daily reinforced, and the
Commanders talk openly of war against Russia.

NUREMBERG, OCT. 25.-- The members of
the Russian Agency in Walachia, who, after
the plunder of the house of the Russian
Consulate at. Bucharest, had_been received in
the house of the Austrian Giinsul in that town,
Lave set out for Transylvania, according to orders
from Petersburg. They had arrived at Crons-
tadt without being molested by the Turks..
AUGSBURG, OCT. 26.—(Extract of a Private
Letter.)—The warlike preparations of the Porte
assume a serious character. The Asiatic troops
arrive in force in Moldavia and Walachia,
and more are marching to the same destina-
nere is no longer any intention of
evacuating the two Principalities, for the ma-
jority of the Ottoman troops, on their ar-
rival in Europe, instead of being 'sent against
the. Greeks, as was first designed by the Divan,
are ordered to proceed by forced marches to the
Danube. Hence it would seem that the Grand
Signior thinks it right to assume an imposing at-
titude, to protect itself from all attempts at inva-
sion on the,part of Russia.
FRANKFORT, OCT. 26.—Private letters from
Vienna positively assert that there will be no
war between Russia and the Porte.

tien.

VIENNA, OCT. W.—Yesterday, after, the ar-
rival of a courier, Lord Gordon, the British Minis-

ter, set out for Hanover. It is asserted that im-
portant negociations are to be carried on in that
town. Hopes of peace gain strength.
We have received several important articles of
intelligence from the lonian Islands, of which
the following is the substance :
" The Ottoman troops landed from the fleet of
Cara Ali on the southern coasts of, the Morea
could not keep the field, and were obliged to
throw themselves into forts which the Turks
have re-victualled. This is the result of the famous
Ottoman expedition to the South of the Morea.

" In the north of the Peninsula the blockade
of the fort of Patras has been raised, arid Ma-
homed Pacha, who attempted to penetrate from
Livadia into the north of the Peloponnesus, at
the head of a considerable force, by the isth-
mus of Corinth, has been repulsed without
effecting his passage. The Greeks in Livadia
have, in their turn, concentrated their forces and
threaten the rear of Mahomed. Though it was
reported that Prince Demetrius Ypsilanti had
retired from the Morea, yet it appears, from
several accounts, that he commanded the corps
of Greeks, who defended the isthmus of Co-
rinth with so much success. Prince Cantacuzana
commands in the South of the Morea, and the
Archbishop ,Germano has obtained fresh suc-
cesses, and enjoys great influence.
" The squadron of the Captain Bey has lately
formed a junction with the fleet under Cara-Ali
Ismael Gibraltar, which has not yet been serious-
ly engaged with the Greeks. Private letters
mention the arrival of the Greek squadron at the
entrance of the Adriatic Gulf ; and it is there-
fore probable there will soon be a naval action,
because the two contending fleets are not far dis-
tant from each other, and the Greeks are desirous
of attacking the Turks."

SECOND CHAMBER OF THE STATES-GENERAL.

HAGUE, OCT. 29.—There being thirty-seven
members present, which was sufficient to delibe-
rate, the Chamber proceeded to business, M.
Membrede, the late President, acting provi-
sionally in that character. The Chamber, after
the due forms were gone through, admitted the
25 new members, and then proceeded to name
tliree persons, to he proposed to his Majesty for
the purpose of selecting a President. The three
members were Messrs. Metelerkamp, Count Ho-
genderp, and Membrede. Eight members were
appointed to signify his choice to his Majesty, and
the Assembly adjourned indefinitely.
HAMM:I:GiI, OCT. 26.—The ship Flora, which
lost two sailors in Malaga roads by a suspicious
disorder, and which bas arrived in the Elbe, has
been ordered by the Senate to go to Kausoe, to
perform quarantine.

SUPPRESSED MONAStEMES IN SPAIN.—We
have before us an account of the number of Mo-
nasteries and Convents suppressed in the Penin-
sula in consequence of the law of the 6th of Sep-
tember, 1820. The statement is very curious,
and we consider it worthy of the attention of our
readers, who cannot fail to applaud the wisdom
by which the country has been relieved of a
heavy burden, and recovered property of which
it had been for ages deprived.—The Jesuits pos-
sessed, in the provinces of Toledo, Castile,
Arragon, and Andalusia, 124 colleges, and 16
houses of residence, which, if not completely oc-
cupied at the time of the suppression, would soon
have been so in consequence of the activity of
the new Propagandists.—The. Monks of St.
Benedict held in the congregation of Valladolid,
and in La Tarraconense, sixty-three of the
suppressed monasteries. The Monks of St.
Bernard had 60 in the congregation of Castile and
Leon, and in that of the Cistercian of Arragon
and Navarre. The Carthusian Monks had six-
teen in the provinces of Arragon and Castile.—
The Monks of St. Jerome had 48 in six circuits
of eight Monasteries eacb. The Monks of St.
Basil had in the provinces of Andalusia, Castile,
and El Tardon, 17. The Prernonstratensians
had 17 of the suppressed convents ; the Military
Orders, 14 ; the liospitalars of St. John de Dios,
58; those of Sancti Spiritus, 8; and those of San
Antonio Abad, G. Making in. all 477.—H0w
many hands are thus in future saved for agricul-
ture, for the arts, and every kind of industry !
now much wealth will be distributed through
all the classes of society ? What gn increase of
population must take place in a country where
the present population is not one half of the
number corresponding to its extent and fertility!
But, above ally what an important store is still.
left; and how great must be the advantages
which our country will obtain when the 2,692
religious houses which yet remain, and in which
the persons of both sexes who occupy them may
be said to bury their posterity, shall be defini-
tively suppressed.—(El Universel.)

NORTH AnERICAN EXPEDITION.—MONTILEAL,
AUGUST 23.—A letter has been received from a
person belonging to .the expedition under Captain
FRANKLIN, across the. continent of North Ame-
rica, dated in June last, on the borders of the
barren ground, only fifteen miles from Hearn's
River, in about 64 N. lat. 110 W. long. from
Greenwich. All the members of the company
were in good health and spirits, and had passed
an agreeable winter, living on the flesh of rein
deer, which animals abound in those regions, and
passed the encampment of the party in great
droves. The encampment was made in Sep-
tember last, when further progresS became im-
practicable. The party consisted' of Captain
FRANKLIN, and two or three naval officers, one
seaman, nineteen Canadian voyageurs, and seven-
teen Indians, making in all forty persons. They
were to commence during June their passage
down Ilearn's Riier. •
