There now seems little doubt that the members of.
the Holy Alliance have been scared from the princi-
pal object for which they are met at Verona—
that of dictating to Spain and Portugal their form
of government, or, in other words, restoring that po-
litical and religious tyranny under which the Penin-
sula had so long groaned. That the Emperors of
AUSTRIA and Russia have not been easily prevailed
Upon to relinquish such a darling object, is certain ;
and it is equally certain that no principle of right or
justice, but their fears, has caused this change in their
policy. But, notwithstanding the present state of the
Peninsula is such as would deter any prudent Go-
vernment from interfering in it, yet we suspect that
France, with Austria, Russia, and Prussia, would
net have hesitated in forming a league for that pur-
pose if they could have secured the consent of the
British Government, without which they neither dare
nor can stir with any prospect of success. Indeed, as
to Russia and Austria, neither Power could carry on
an offensive war for a single month without a Loan,
which they could only raise in this country.
But if the state of the Peninsula some months ago
was such as to render all interference hazardous, it
is doubly so now. In Spain, the Constitutional Go-
vernment is more firmly consolidated, and the insur-
rection, though not annihilated, is no longer formi-
dable. Besides, Portugal is undisturbed, and a Treaty
of Defensive Alliance has been formed between
Spain-itnd Portugal, by which, we believe, the latter
Power engages to furnish an army of thirty thousand
• • men to. Spain should it be invaded.
But though Spain and Portugal may be safe from
the machinations of the Congress, this is not the case
with the Greeks. To the etyrnal disgrace of Chris-
tian Europe, she has witnt.ssed thousands of the
Greeks sacrificed to the wanton and indiscriminating
butchery of the Turks, without stretching out a
hand, or speaking a word to rescue them. Aban-
doned by all those to whom they were entitled to
look fur assistance, they have still kept alive the spirit
of liberty among themselves, and, notwithstanding
all their losses, are still sufficiently formidable to
maintain the struggle; and if the Biitish Govern-
ment would but interfere in their behalf, Greece
might still be free.
To the accounts we have bad to give of the entire
desolation of Scio, weahis day add an almost equally
painful detail of Turkish massacres at Cyprus ; sixty-
two towns and villages have wholly disappeared, and
with them a population of IEI,OOO persons. The women
and children were, for the most part, taken and con-
fined fix several days in private houses, without foci&
when tlise who did not perish with hunger were
burnt i:• their houses. The details of this horrid
butchery will be found in another column. There
have been periods in the history of England and of
Europe, shen such ouu ages on humanity would not
have gone unpunished !

unabated violence. These Papers contain a letter
from Curacoa, dated the 31st August, which gives
the following details of the military operations in
that quarter :—" General Morales, who was believed
to be slain, is again on the field of action. A Danish
schooner arrived here yesterday from the Main, with
General Cecilia and Staff, and forty other eommii-
sioned Oflicers of Spain ; they publicly declare that
Gen. Morales is such a tyrant that they will not
serve any longer under him ; to ey hare, therefore,
abandoned the cause of the mother country.—
The Spanish frigate Legiera, of 56 .guns; anchored in
this harbour today, under command of Commodore
Laherrde ; he also expresses his disapprobation of
Morales' conduct, and has of his own accord aban-
doned the cause of Spain, he will sail no more against
Colombia. General La Torre ailed from hence
two days ago in the Dutch schooner Cornelia, under
convoy of the Dutch brig of war Kempham; for
Porto Rico, of Which place he is appointed Governor.
General Morales, with 700 men, is at Aruba. The.
Dutch Government, mistrusting his honour, has or-
dered the inhabitants of Aruba under arms, and the
Dutch brig of war now here will sail hence with
troops to-morrow. So you see all is lost to Spain.

hove too off this harbour, and communicated with
the shore: they had on board nine hundred men,
and reported that they were going against Maracaibo.
The Colombian schooner of war St. Ella, Captain
Hoffner, is in port, refitting, having received damage
in an action with the Spanish brig of war Hercules, off
Laguirai eight days ago. She was in company with
the Colombian brig Condore, Captain Pelot, which
vessel was captured by the Hercules, after twenty-

DESOLATION OR4IIIMIS.

Rf the desolation of Cyprus by the Tarksr
TRIESTE, OCTOBER s.
Since the dreadful massacres which took place in
the island of Cyprus the summer before last, the wane
of news from that island made us imagine that trap•
quillity had succeeded these first excesses. %ye in..
dulged in this pleasing idea with the more confidence,
as there has never been the smallest symptom or indi.
cation of insurrection in the island of Cyprus : a letter
written by the English Consul to one of his relations,
who has resided in our city since the troubles of the
East, has dispelled this illusion. This letter, which cer.
taiuly cannot be suspected, is to the following effect:
" CYPRUS, AUGUST 15.

Sixty-two towns and villages in this unliany
island have wholly disappeared : only their ruin re-
main to attest the.barbarity of their destroyer;, and
yet the rage of these blood-stained monsters is not
yet appeased. A band of wretches very lately re-
paired to Morphon, where they destroyed everything
with fire and sword: the women and children were
for the most part taken, and confined for seveial
days in pi ivate houses, without food : those who %%etc
not destroyed by hunger, were burn., together with
the houses. Eve:), house is .marked by raurdeis in
all parts of the island. The Christians are hunted
like wild beasts.

" It is chiefly upon the Churches and the
Insis-
ters of the Christian religion, that these stupid Turks
continue to exercise their fury. At St. Niassa, alter
killing er taking prisoners the inhabitants in the time
cif peace, they burnt the images of the Church, anl
transformed the edifice into a stable. At this y.o-
Rojatissa, the Church of Aspro-Panagia was changed
into a mosque. Very lately, the Zabit (Sub-Gover-
nor) of Cyrenia, at the head of a band of furious
wretches, entered the Convent of Pan:eleimon, and
after having saddled and bridled the Monks, like
beasts of burden, they mounted on their backs-, and
so rode about the country. Some of these tram tu-
nate men expired from fatigue. The Governor of the
Island, a wan equally ferocious and stupid, lately
sent hi, colas (the perf"rmer of his orders) to the mo-
nastery of Kicou, where some caloyers (anchorer,)
still remained. This officer, no less cruel than hi;
master, made several of these poor solitaries exrire iii
tortures ; among others, father Sylvester, who was
known throughout this Island. The rest dispersed,
leaving the monastery deserted.
" The Turks then set fire to the environs. The
conflagration continued twenty-three days, gradually
extending to all the neighbouring districts. Several
fine forests of fruit-trees, vineyards, &c. have fallen a
prey to the flames. The damage done by this fire is
incalculable. A track of country thirty-five leagues
in extent, formerly so remarkable for its high culti-
vation and fertility, is now nothing more than a
heap of ashes.
."That part of the island which is occupied by the
troops of Mahomed Ali, Paella of Egypt, alone erijo:i
tranquillity. Salib Bey,who command, for the Pacha,
makes his mops observe the strictest discipline. If
Mahorned Ali should withdraw his troops, as there is
reason to fear, there would be no longer any secu-
rity even for the Franks."—(lt is the English Con,ul
who speaks.)
