THE GREEKS.

IiTRACT Of A LItTI2II PROM MARSKILLES, SUNS SO.
Nothing in history is more frightful than moiern
Turkish ferocity. Our towns and villages (in Scio)
are ravaged and razed. Death and captivity have
shared sixty thousand victims between them. The
sick and the. aged were burnt alive in the Hospitals.,
The noblest of our females threw themselves and their
children into wells. Others died under the most
horrible atrocities; such was the fate of Madame
Constantine Ralli, whose husband was the First Ma-
gistrate of Scio.. He was hanged with the Metropo-
litan and the remaining.ll9 of the most distinguished
inhabitants—the hostages in the fortress. His eldest
son has been made a Mussulman. So many hecatombs
have not sufficed to pacify the Sultan. All the &lots
at Constantinople have perished, and at Smyrna the
same system is adopted.
The conduct of the Jews has been de7ilish. Too
base and cowardly to attack the living, their bar-
barism is dia ected principally to the dead. You know
how they treated the body of the Patriarch. Their
cruelties are of long standing. In August, 1821,
when Balanos of Thessalonica was assassinated, a,
Jew passing near his dead body, amused himself by
pulling out his eyes. A Turk that was passing, and
who had known the deceased, shot the Jew dead.—
When the Bishop of Kitro was killed and thrown
. into the streets, the Jews put a stick into his mouth,
to represent a pipe, and tore handsful of hair from his
beard as they passed along. Liberius, an enlightened
ecclesiastic, has saved the Turks made prisoners at
Athens, though they had massacred all the Greeks in
the citadel, and thrown their mangled remains over
the wall. The same has occurred in Livadia.

Letters have been received from Vera Cruz, ea:el
May 1, from which the following is an extract :

ig The Castle, which commands the town, is in
possession of the Royalists, in which are most of tl.t
remaining Dons of wealth, waiting for cpportunitie7
of conveyance of themselves and their rnu,ey:.,
Spain. The fort is weak at this time, not hAV;; •z:
more than 250 soldiers in it. There is a constais:
communication between the fort and the town -711
fact, it is hardly possible to say, who is Royal or %+•.'
is Imperial in the City, as they both pass and reFl'i
in every direction, regardless of each other. tt ‘i
stated that there are five or 6000 Imperial trovi :3
the City—but the fact is, there are not so many
dreds, unless you include every Indian and rrege
the place.
ig The Governor of the city cohducts his affair: at
his Palace in a masterly style—all his business is coil-
ducted systematically. The castle assumes the tig't
of boarding all vessels entering the fort, to the ttcl
exclusion of the Imperialists—all property NY' a
duty when landed, except that which may be wac,::i
for the fort. The fort claims a heavy tonnage JL:t!.
A deep laid plan of the Governor's, to take the cat!'
and country around, failed a few days ago, with A
severe loss on his part. A caravan has this d;:r
rived from Mexico, with about two millions of'
lars, all of which belong to persons destined to Se:l 1.
it being a privilege granted by the Imperialists to -1
who are disposed to leave the country. It %v.v.
ported here, that General Wilkinson had died
tween this and Mexico, and had been buried with
litary honours; but the report arose from the .!e.11.1
of General Long, who via% killed at the door of Col!'
gress in Mexico, by a sentinel, who ran him throng!'
the body as he attempted to pass in a forcible illatlllet.
