ZANTP, MAY G.

' The union of Prince Kanteetizeno wish the Armies
of Ypsilanti and Theodore, wilt be a powerful aid to
them : he is rich, and the first sacrifices he has made
are an indication of what he will be able to do in future.

The 11Torea begins to breathe aftet the long disor-
ders, in which the Franks have incurred the greatest
danger. Some of the foreign Consuls have particu-
larly contributed to restore order. One of those who
has most distinguished himself is M. llugues de
Pouqueville, whose brother was formerly Consul at
Joannina. At the hazard of his own life he received
into his hotel the unfortunate fugitive Franks, and
has saved the lives of above 1500 persons.
We are not acquainted with the issue of the trou-
bles at Smyrna. By what we learn, there has been
a contest between the Franks and the Turks, in which
it is affirmed that the former obtained considerable
advantages, on account of the consequences which
may result from them by depriving the Porte of the
assistance which it expected from Asia.
The following are some particulars of the bar-
barous
execution of the Patriarch. Outrages of the
most atrocious description, which make humanity
shudder. were committed on the body of this vene-
rable old man, who was nearly 80 years of age.
After his strangulation, a band of miserable ragga-
muffins was ordered to cut the rope, and to drag the
body, tied by the feet, to the arsenal, where the exe-
cutioner threw it into the Bosphorus.
It is easy to conceive the indignation which these•
scenes have excited throughout the Greek Church,
where the Patriarch, for his public character and
private virtues, was as much honoured as the Pope
was in the Latin Church in the 12th centnry. Every
day the Clergy are bound to pray for him and for
the Synod, and this daily recollection must increase
their rage. The number and the riches of the Clergy
must render them extremely formidable. On Mount
Athos there are 20,000 Monks—in the Morea above
2,400, who possess a revenue of 918,000 francs, i.e.
about a tenth part of the riches of the country.

In the rest of Greece there may be about 20,000,
Papas. Considering the well-known fanaticism• of
the Greek Church, it is easy to imagine the dangers
to which the Porte has exposed itself by this pro-
ceeding. The Janissaries, it is said, have refused to
-march. They pretend, that by their laws they must
remain at Constantinople to defend that capital till the
Sultan can put himself at their head, and lead them to
battle. An additional misfortune is, that the Ramadan
begins this year the 31st May, and ends the 29th June.
It must be strictly observed, on pain of death ; and
it is never till the kith of the Moon of Schelval,
which falls this year on the 15th of July, that civil
and military operations recommence in the Ottoman
Empire. At all times, the Russians, when they took
advantage of this season to enter Turkey, have beat
the Turks without difficulty. To this it 'may be
added, that the Turkish soldiery never serve for
more than one campaign, which terminates for them
at the new moon in September, which falls this year
on the 26th of that month, because they must be back
by St. Demetrius. Thus the campaign this year is
'for the Turks) not quite three months.

At the departure of the Mail from Deal yesterday
evening, the Asia, BALDERSTON, from China, was
off the South Foreland, working into the Downs.

Yesterday morning, at half-past nine o'clock, his
MAJESTY left his Palace, in Pall-Mall, in his travel-
ling carriage, escorted by a party of Light Horse,
for Windsor.

A Privy Council was held yesterday at Carlton
House, at which, it is rumoured, the precise period
on which the Coronation of his MAJESTY is to take
Place was finally settled. Three days have been
spoken of, the 12th, 16th, and 18th of July. The
latter, it is thought, will be considered as the most
convenient, and it is not improbable that the subject
will be officially notified in the Gazette of to-night.
—The preparations in Westminster Hall and in the
Abbey are proceeding with all due celerity ; and the
department of the Board of Works anticipate com-
pleting their labours by the Ist of July. There will
still remain much to do in the decorative parts. The
erection of the raised platform, extending from West-
minster Hall to the Abbey, as well as the stable for
the Champion's and three other horses, will be com-
menced in the course of the coming week. The
frame-work of his MAJESTY'S Throne, which will be
covered with a square canopy,similar to the old Throne
in the House of Lords, ha: been commenced.
