night, supply us with no intrlligence of genty.iliot lest.
Leters from Tootoo, of the end d July, state th.t
positive orders had beeo received for the hoops el every
desctipti-n to be ready embaik. The force at Tou-
lon is to he joined by the troops that were at Cadiz
and which sere landed on the 26 h ult. alter a quAran-
toe of five d.tys. The expedition is to sail in two divi-
sion., the fi st on the 15th, the second on the 25th. A
park of widely sill accompany the latter.

Ilaniburgh Papers to the 7th instant were received
this morning ; their contents are of some-importance.
From C. nstat.trriople it is stated. that a drea •ful mas-
sem or the Greek inhabitants r f Vat na had taken place
Suspkiern being entertained by the Turks that a revolt
in laver• of the Russians was in contemplation, a
search was made for arms among the suspected, and
the finding a f knives, such as were used by the Greek
butchers in their trade, was made the pretext for an
indiscriminate slaughter. Fearful of similar conse-
quences in the capital, the Porte has adopted fresh
measures of persecution towards the Greek inhabitants.
All the unmarried men of that nation have been or-
tiered into Asia ; their departure was ordered to take
place in 14 days try m the date of the article.
The raising of the new levies fur the defence of the
empire was proceeiing very slowly in the capital,
where the greatest indifference and aversion to the war
was manifested by the people. Even among those
troops that had come from Asia, desertions to a great
event were taking place daily. Nothing is stated re-
specting the march of the Russians.
The President of Greece announces to the Panhel-
lettion, the nomination of Baron FRUHEREAU de St.
DENIS, a. Mir.ister from the King of FRANCE to that
Republic. This functionary has not arrived empty-
handed, as he is the bearer of a suns of money, which is
tote used in relieving the most urgent wants of the
State. The President, in concluding his address, ex-
presses the gratitude due to the French Monarch, for
such abundant benefits.

BURY has been recalled limn his mission to the head-
qtiarters of the Russian Army. The following are
