,estation during the solemnity. The eausequenee Waft
t'iat not only in the Greek and Armenian Churches,
3'l Cie religious ceremonies, professions, and observ-
,,„ces, were conducted with the most perfect peace
and order, but the festivities which followed were
oi„leJ by the Greeki in their old style, and in the
ro,t uninterrupted tranquillity.
On the 21st of April the Patriarch was invited to
e:e Palace of the Sultan. As this was the anniver-
,,;,y of a lamentable event, the circumstance excited
11:ive.:sal interest. When he appeared, he was loaded
vitll encomiums by one of the Ministers of the Porte,
on account of some judicial decision which he had
ronounced ; and received in the name of the Sultan
a:lo:her considerable donation for the repair of the
,lamaged Cathedral Church. He was afterwalds
ected to produce a list of all the Sciotes then resi-
t in the Capital, distinguishing the married from
6:e unmarried. The former are to remain in Con-
stantinople, the latter are to be sent to Asia. The
new Dragoman of the Porte, Jahia Effendi, is not a
native of Corfu, as has been said, but of Gallipoli,
and has been 30 years converted to Islamism. He is
a man of 70 years of age, •and as he is believed not
to be perfect master of the European languages, he
is to have a secretary of the Armenian persuasion,
named Seced Manasse, a person of great knowledge.
Thus Jahia Effendi, although invested with the Kaf-
tan, is only Vice-Dragoman.

This forenoon we received a German Mail, bring-
Frankfort Papers to the 25th inst. The following

For some time past great attention has been es-
;•.;ed by the new Tariff, which is to be laid before
t7C ileXt Diet. 11 it should be adopted, the Cantons
trade with France will be wholly ruined; while
t'a erman manufacturers, and the Cantons who carry
th a direct trade with them, will be great gainers.

LEIPZIC, MAT is.
The Aid-de-Camp of General Normann (formerly
in the service of Wurtemberg) has written a letter,
t!.tted the 20th of Mitch, to a friend at Dessau, of
vhich de following is an extract:
.t few days after our arrival here (at Navarino), we bad an
crportunity of engaging the Turks, who attacked us in our
t.re:tiad fortress with 61 ships, and, by land, with the greater
art of the garrison of Modon. They were, however, repulsed
1. ith I..ss ; and our friends even ascribe the happy issue to my-
s. lf, because I made an unexpected sally with a small party; at
Last, a deputation of the Ephori has solemnly thanked me, in
the name of tkeir fellow-citizens, for the service I have done.
0 An excursion on our side towards blodon is our last exploit,
she‘‘ed me that they fought on both sides with great ani-
Iczi:y, but without remarkable courage or knonkdge of war.
lee latter cannot certainly be requited from the Greeks, as it is
...I). a year ago that they had arms in their hands, for the first
me for three hundred years. This is especially the case with
the Messenians, who were under the severest Turkish yoke.
We made some prisoners on this occasion, who were mildly
treated, and sold by public auction. On the other band, all the
vounded Turks who fell into the hands of the Greeks were be-
in spite of all we could do to dissuade them, and the
1...ds carried in triumph from the field of battle, after the ears
Leen pierced with a knife. The next morning the children
:!.c streets played wit)) these heads, putting bunches Of orange
.owns and flowers in the mouth, nose, and ears, and then
c.:t:•irg them shout on little pikes."
FRANKFORT, DINT 19. •

The arrival of two Russian and one Turkish con-
fer, though we learnt nothing of their dispatches,
renewed the reports of war, but only fora shoit time,
Lecause all the accounts we received were of a pacific
t!laracter, and letters from Vienna of that they
',artily think of war in that capital. For many rea-
sons we begin to think there will neither be a war
nor au interference of the Christian Powers in the in-
tcrnal concerns of Turkey ; so that it seams we have
Lathing left but to wish that the Greeks may be able,
without foreign aid, to free themselves from the yoke
si their barbarous oppressors.

The French Papers of Tuesday furnish us with the
fi,ilowing extracts :

PARIS, MAY 28.
We (the Constitutionnel) said, the day before yes.
terday, that our foreign advices were pacific. To-
eay the journals and letters from Germany are more
:..dike than ever ; and, moreover, are confirmed by
Lie reports in Paris for the last two days, in conse-
quence of the extraordinary arrival of a courier from
l'etersburgh. The following is an extract of a letter
brought by the extraordinary courier, and addressed
to a ci-devant diplomatist whom we personally know:
Petersburgh, May 7.

" AU incertitude as to peace or war has ceased. The brothers
of the Emperor, the Generals, equipages, &c. are set out these
three days. 'the order t 6 advance was dispatched to the army
ott the 541 of May. The Russians are intoxicated, and think the
Turks will give up the provinces. The Emperor was three days
slat up with M. de Tatische."
'To the foregoing details we would add, that yester-
day evening, in a diplomatic drawing-room, it was
said, hat in the course of that day official notice if
the Emperor's departure from St. Petersburgh on the
9th bad been received, and that all hopes of pcace
were idle.
Accounts from Madrid, by Bayonne, state that it
was resolved in the Cortes to send 50,000 melt to the
French frontier.
Several Ministers of State are said to have sent or
received notice of resignation.
ODESSA, MAY s.
We have news from Constantinople of the 27th of
April. What we have been saying for the last year,
but which has been contested by a great part of Eu-
rope, is confirmed more and more. The result will
probably be a great Gatastrophe to the Turkish em-
