pottant points, rendered it impossible for his Excel-
lency the Ambassador to continue steps which are
now become useless.
His Excellency then embarked, and only waked
for a fair wind to sail with the whole Embassy.

We have received to-day a large supply of Ger.
min Papers to very recent dates. They contain some
accounts from Greece, in which a victory is stated
to have been gained by the Greeks at Cassandra, in
Macedonia, on the 18th of August, but the statement

is altogether of a •erj doubtful character.

SALONICHI. JULY SO.
(riot ♦ COILMEILITAL LITTER.)
Since the late events, our situation has become
less alarming. The Turkish arms have again sub-
jected all the villages that had revoked from our
city to Mount Athos and Orfano. Only two rather
difficult points still remain, Monte Santo and Cas-
sandra, where the Greeks seem disposed to make a
long resistance, and the Turks on their part are pre-
paring to attack them on two sides. The above vil-
lages had been deceived entirely by the Batteries and
threats of the Greek armed vessels, which assured
them that Alexander Ypsilanti was already master of
Moldavia, Wallachia, and Servia, and threatened
Constantinople with an army of 150,000 men. By
such delusion, they plunged the poor people in the
greatest misery, for above thirty villages which at-
tempted to revolt have been plundered and burnt by
the Turks. Here (at Salonichi) the Greeks continue
to be thrown into prison, and to be burthened with
heavy contributions many rich Greek houses which
bad outstanding debts in those villages are ruined,
as well as the country-people themselves. There are
still executions every day: a week ago, the Greek
Archbishop and two Greek merchants were beheaded,
and their beads exposed for three days together to
the insults of the Turks. They were said to be im-
plicated in the conspiracy, at least it is said that
princely insignia of honour and dresses were found
in the house of one of them, it being his design, if
things turned out favourable, to become Prince of
Salonichi. He had had the clothes made by a Greek
tailor, but this wretch turned Mahometan and be-
,
trayed him. In the quarter of the Franks we enjoy
perfect tranquillity. Commerce goes on without
interruption.
SEMLIN, SEPTEMBER s.

According to accounts from Seres in Macedonia, 1
of the 22d of August, the Pacha of Salonichi had I
collected all his forces in the middle of August, and
marched towards Cassandra, to meet the victorious
Greeks (stated at 20,000 men) wh• were advancing
from the side of St. Catarina, in Thessaly. Alexan-
der Stagirita, who commanded the Greeks, defeated
the Turks near Cassandra, on the 18th of August, so
that the remains of the Turkish army with difficulty
escaped' to Salimighi. Among the numerous pri-
soners is stated to be a corps of 400 Jews, which had
been voluntarily formed at Salonichi out of hatred
to the Greeks. The Greeks, adds the letter, who
treated the Turkish prisoners mildly, mutilated most
of the Jewish prisoners in the most cruel manner,
cutting off chins, noses, and hands. If the friends of
humanity must feel profound abhorrence of such
cruelties, it is alleged on the other hand, that the
Jews throughout Turkey are in league to destroy
the Greeks. All the Turkish Governors, even mili-
tary commandants, are said, now that the Greeks
are proscribed, to have only Jews for their agents,
and in the execution of the most cruel acts of the
Turkish barbkrians, Jews are said to be usually the
instruments. Numerous events of this nature have
excised an inextinguishable hatred between the Greeks
and the Jews.
At Salonichi, all the Jews have armed themselves,

formed a body guard for the Cadi, and during the
absence of the Paella in his expedition against tho
' Greeks, kept in check the Greeks living in the city,
who, it is trite, were previously disarmed. It must
not be forgotten, that the Jews in Turkey, in con-
sequence of the heavy oppression under which they
are placed, are lowest in the scale of civilization, and
can by no means be placed on a level with their breth-
ren living in the Christian European States.
SEPT. 4.—ln explanation of my letter of yesterday,
I add—the Greeks, who advanced victorious from
St: Catarina, in Thessaly, had passed over the nar-
row bay, which, when the wind is fair, may be
crossed in an hour, to Cassandra, in Macedonia.—
Three thousand Thessalians had landed at Cassandra,
who joined the Greeks from Mount Athos. The
whole force of the Christians is said to have amounted
to nearly 20,000 men, who were joined during the
battle by all the inhabitants of the coasts of that dis-
-Ict.t 'IV Priest of Mount Athos carried the Cron
