CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 5.
The following Yafia (writing) was fixed upon the
corpse of the Greek Patriarch:
" As it is a duty incumbent upoo Superiors and
Chiefs, of whatever nation they may be, to watch
day and night over the persons of those who are un-
der their superintendence, to be acquainted with all
their actions, and to denounce to the Gevernraent all
the crimes which are committed among them ; and
as the Patriarchs are placed as Superiors and Chiefs
of the subjects which live in security under the sha-
dow of the Imperial Power, they ought to be, above
all, blameless, honest, faithful, and upright.
" Endowed with these qualities, thermust, after
having made themselves acquainted with the good
and bad dispositions of the People, check the wicked
betimes, by warning and advice: if these are not suf-
ficient, by punishments according to the precepts of
their religion, and by this means discharge a part of
the debt of gratitude which they owe to the Sublime
Porte, for the favours and privileges which they enjoy
under its beneficent shadow.
• " But the faithless Greek Patriarch, who had be-
fore given so many proofs of devotedness, could not
row be ignorant of the revolt and insurrection of his
Nation, commenced by divers wicked men who have
fergntten themselves, and suffered themselves to be
led away by phantoms and devilish illusions ; and he'
was therefore bound to instruct those who were igno-
rant of the matter, that the affair in question was a
vain undertaking, which could not be accomplished ;
since evil designs against the Mahometrin power and
religion will never succeed, which have bcca sup-
ported by UOD for above 1,000 years, and will endure
till the day of judgment, as has been confirmed by
revelations and miracles from HEAVEN. Yet, follow-
ing the corruption which dwelt in his heart, he not'
only neither wanted nor punishe 1 the unthinking
who had been led astray, but, according to all pro-
bability, has himself recently taken a part, as leader
ei the revolt; so that it can hardly fail that the whole
Greek Nation, including many innocent and unfortu-
nate subjects who had not the slightest knowledge of
the matter, will be almost entirely annihilated, and
objects of the anger of GOD.
" After the Police had been informed of the re-
volt, and it became generally notorious, the Sublime
Porte, solely out of compassion for its poor subjects,
endeavoured by mildness to bring them back to the
way of safety ; and to this east issued a Proclamation
to the Patriarch, which contained the ordinances and
counsels adapted to the subject—together with an
order to the Patriarch to send forth an anathema to
all ends of the land, where it had become necessary,
against those subjects who had taken part in the re•
beilion: but, instead of constraining himself, and
being the first to return to his duty, the faithless Pit..
arch has been, more than any other, the chief cause
of the disorders which have hitherto disturbed the
public tranquillity. Communication has been ob-,
tained that he was himself born in the Morea, and
was concerned in all the deeds of violence which
have been committed there, and in the district Ka-
laiorata (Kalabrita), by deluded subjects. He him-
self, therefore, is the cause of the ruin and destruc-
tion w lich, with the help of GOD, will fall on them.
" As conviction has been obtained on all sides of
his treachery, not only to the Sublime Porte, but to
his own Nation, it has become necessary that his
body should be removed from the earth ; and he has,
consequently, been hanged, to serve as an example
to others."
The following is a copy of the Writing affixed to
the corpse of the Bishop of Ephesus:
As the Bishops of the Ottoman Empire are, as
it were, the Magistrates to whom it belongs to super-
intend the Rajahs, it was their duty to have watched
day and night within their dioceses over the conduct
and proceedings, and partly by good advice, and
partly by punishment, according to their laws, to
check those who committed anything improper, and
to give infotmation of the true state of things to the
Sublime Porte, under whose protection they peace-
ably exercise their functions. Yet the wicked Bishop
of Ephesus has not only neglected to follow this
course, but it is proved that from his innate disposi-
tion to wickedness, he has taken an active part in the
ch.orders which some conspirators had resolved to
excite, but which the Officers of the Sublime Porte
have succeeded in discovering. As he has thus be-
ta ayes! the Sublime Porte, and though it is his own
Nation, it has become necessary to extirpate his ac-
cursed body from the face of the earth, and to in-
flict on it the penalty of death, as everybody may
here see."
In the Ali-Sherif appointing Hadschi Salich Pasha
to the dignity of Grand Vizier, the Sultan says, that
the late Grand Vizier, Banderle Ali Pasha, had been
found wholly unfit for his office; that he was igno-
rant of the laws of the Empire, and of the causes of
the insurrection, and " wished to save the lives cf the
Greeks, whose treachery is clear to everybody, and
did not see the consequences of this revolt. His great
ignorance made him presumptuous, and he ventured
many improper measures, e.g. to oppose the punish-
ment of that despicable nation, to lessen the zeal of
the Mussulmen, and to undermine the existing friend-
ship and concord, by raising disunion among all
tanks. As such conduct might have had dangerous
consequences, it was necessary not only to depose,
but to banish him, so that he can be no mare em-
ployed in the service of my Empire:'—The rest of
the letter expresses the Sultan's confidence in his new
• Minister.

CEPHALONIA, JUNE!.

We learnt yesterday, that. Vrachori, the capital of
Etolia, revolted on receiving the news of the death of
the Patriarch; the Turks were massacred, and the
Synagogues, as well as the Mosques have been burnt
down. fhe banks of Anatolia and Missolimghi bear
'tow no other flag than that of the Cross; and we reckon
on the waters ut the 111orea, twenty Greek cruizers,
wt:ich are daily supplied by them with provisions.
Letters hum Salonichi say, that the Turks have
massacred a great .part of the rich merchants; and
that those who have been able to escape have taken
refuge in Trickerni, an island situated in the Gulf of
Velo. This port is now one of the stations of the
insurgents, who communicate with those of Mount
Pelican, and of the Canton of Zagora, the eastern
pot of Thew.. al y.
14tters Iron} Cerigo (Cythera) say, that in Crete
Statiot.:, united with the peasants of the mann-

tains, closely blockade the Turks in the fortresses,
where they are obliged to shut themselves up. All
the islands of the Archipelago, except those of Tino
and Scyros, have raised the standard of the Cross;
and the commerce between Egypt and Constanti-
nople is wholly intercepted by the armament of the
holy league of the Greeks. As for Epirus, we know
that Ali Paella holds out successfully. Arta Zagori,
and all the districts inhabited by the Christians,
united with the Arniatolis, daily obtain some advan-
tages over the Turks. Macedonia and lilyria may
be considered as perfectly free; •and whever turn
affairs may take, it is probable that those provinces,
which have never been perfectly subjected, will not
fall again under the authority of the Sultan.
We learn that our Government has resolved strictly
to enforce the treaty of the 21st Marsh, 1800, ac-
cording to which the 44 Barbary Corsairs cannot
navigate within forty miles west of the lonian Sea."
Now the benefit of this neutrality extends, "indepen-
dently of the islands situated from Anlone, in the
Adriatic,-to Cerigo, into the Archipelago of the,
Egean Sea," which leave, a fine line of operation for
the vessels fighting under the flag of the Cross, since
the barbarians of Africa cannot approach the coasts
of the Continent and of the Morea without directly
violating the pbsitive stipulations of the treaty of 1800.

A letter has at length been received by her MA.
JESTY, dated Whitehall, July 13th, 1821, but with
out any signature, or even address, stating in answer
to the demand of her MAJESTY, that a suitable
place might be appointed for her at the approach-
ing Coronation; that " it is not his MAJESTY'S
pleasure to comply with the application contained
in your MAJEsTY's letter," and referring to a let-
ter from Lord LivErtroor. to her MAJESTY, of the
7th of May, in which he informed her, that " his
NIAJESTY having determined that the QUEEN shall
form no part of the ceremonial of his Corona-
tion, it is therefore his Royal pleasure that the QUEEN
shall not attend the said Ceremony." Her MAJESTY,
on receipt of this strange communication, immediately
wrote to Lord SIDMOUTII, that as it was without
signature or address, she should consider it as anony-
mous till she heard from him. The following- are
• correct Copies of this extraordinary Correspondence :
" WHITEHALL, JULY 15, 1821..

MADAIf--4 have laid before the King your Ma-
jesty's letter to me of the 11th of this month, in which
it is stated that your Majesty considers it necessary
to inform me, that it is your Majesty's intention to be
present at the ceremony of the 19th, the day tiled for
his Majesty's Coronation, and you, therefore, demand
that a suitable place may be appointed for your Ma-
jesty ; and I am commanded by the King to refer
your Majesty to the Earl of Liverpool's letter to your
Majesty of the 7th of May last, and to acquaint your
Majesty that it is not his Majesty's pleasure to com-
ply with the application contained in your Majesty's
letter."

sequence of the last communication of the Queen to Lord Liver-
pool of the sth instant, to inform the Queen, that his Majesty

BOANOUSBURCH-11011cF, JULY 13, 1821
Five o'.Ciock, r.m.
MY LORD—I have this instant received a letter,
dated Whitehall, July 13, without any signature; I
therefore consider it as anonymous, and shall treat it
as such, till I hear from your Lordship.
(Signed) " CAROLINE R.

The advices received in town to-day, make it highly
probable that an open rupture has at length taken
place between Russia and the Porte. There are ac-
counts from Constantinople, by the way of Odessa,
to the Bth of June, which state, that Baron STRO•
GONOFF, the Russian Ambassador, had shut himself
up in his house at Bruy ukdere, with the determina-
tion of having no farther communication with the
Turkish Government until he received answers to
the dispatches which he had sent to St. Petersburgh.
And by a Hamburgh Mail which arrived this fore-
noon, we are put in possession of an official state-
ment of a correspondence that has passed between'
Baron STROGONOFF and the Porte, in which the for-,
mer complains, in specific terms, that the Treaties',
between the two countries have been broken.—
There is even a report from Breslau, that the Rus-
sians have passed the Turkish frontier, though for a
reason different from that advanced by Baron
41E060NOVF. We subjoin the accounts by the Ham-
-1
burgh Mail, apd shall content ourselves for the pre-
sent with observing that, whether war has yet ac-
tually broken out or not between Russia and Tur-
key, we have never entertained any doubt that to this
complexion matters would come at last. Although
the Emperor ALEXA NDER had even had none of those
insidious views which have been ascribed to him, the
