with his fleet, and effected his junction with the Al ge.
rine squadron. He was cruising between Scio, My.
d n Penedos. The Greeks resolutely await
pe';,earance at Samos, Hydra, Spezzia, and
hteilse
Ip-
sara, and they are said to have made extraordinary
preparations Chasen It is affirmed here, that the
'captain Paella entered into negociations with the
surgents. through Mr. Hamilton, Captain of the
Cambrian frigate; but, considering the present temper'
cf the Greeks, it is not likely they will lead to a fa-
tourahle result.
The Ambassadors of Austria and England cond.
rue to exert themselves to get the sequestrated ves-
sels set at libel ty. We are very impatient to see the
erd of this important affair.
ODESSA, JUNE 13.
According to news from Constantinople of the 12th,
the Porte continues its violent proceedings against the
European trade. They stop all vessels, and search
them without further ceremony. The Reis Effendi
pays no regard to the protests of the Christian Mini-
sters. Thus the Turks continually add new causes
d differences to those that already existed. Fancying
that the European Powers are wholly engaged by
the affairs of Spain, they daily become mort•artogant.
TRIESTE, JUNE 27.
Another vessel has arrived in 19days from Smyrna,
which brings news that the Turkish fleet has been
seen near Cape d'Oro, and treats as an enemy every
ship that comes near it, out of fear of the Greek fire-
ihirs. In Samos and Hydra, it is said, the women
have taken arms, and sworn to prefer death to
slavery.—The Oriental Spectator of the 23d of May,
shich we have jur.t received, has an article from
Larissa of the id May, which gives the Greeks an
tory of forty thousand men.
SWITZERLAND, JULY 4.
A Cabinet Messenger, going from Madrid to
Vienna, and passing through Berne on the 15th June,
eelivered to the Federal Directory a dispatch from the
Regency of Spain.
This.dispatch contained two letters, dated Madrid,
Nay 31: one, addressed to the Minister of Foreign
Affairs in Switzerland, informed him of the installa-
tion of the Regency, which is already recognized by
his Royal Ilighne-s the Duke of Angouleme, and ex-
pressed a wish to cultivate the friendly relations which
subsht between the two countries ;.the other, to the
same effect, was addressed to the President of the
Diet of the Confederation. Annexed was a great
number of documents relative to the installation of
the Regency of Spain at Madrid. The Directory, in
conimunicating these dispatches to the Cantons, in-
vites them to give to their Deputies to the Diet suf-
ficient instructions to deliberate on the subject.
