EXTRACT OF A LITTER FROM CONSTANTINOPLE, DATED

,0 This capital still presents a gloomy picture of
misery and distress. At Pera every body is preparing
to depart, because it is feared that the troops which are
expected from Asia will take possession of the houses of
the banished Armenians, which have not yet been occu-
pied. The remonstrances of the Catholic Armenian
Ps jests, and their offer to attend the Church of the
Paurarah4.but.to:take the Communion according to the
Roman rite, have been ineffectual, and a more rigorous
order than the preceding one does not even per-
mit them to share the fate of their congregation,
but separates them from their flock, and forbids
them to go to Asia ; so that these ♦enerable pastors
intend to go by land to Italy in small separate de-
tithments. It may be easily imagined to what risks
these unfortunate individuals are exposed in the pro.
•inces. It is impossible to form an idea of the misery
to which the Christian emigrants are reduced ; but it
may be said to the honour of the Turks, that many of
them, moved with compassion, give to these unhappy
persons every mirk of kindness, and all possible assist.
once. These acts of charity are exercised especially
in Asia, where the Christians of all nations fear to risk
their own safety by affording them succour, and where
they receiie bone except from the Mussulmans.

" Nothing more is to beexpected from the intervention
•of the Foreign Ministets. France and Austria, accord.
ing to the existing Treaties, are naturally the protee-
toi s of the Catholics, but in the present crisis the ques-
tion respecting Greece nbserbs every other. In the
rituation of affairs at present, despair is imprinted on
*very • countenance, and our only consolation is the
thought that, considering the distress which prevails
among the Turks themselves, this state of things can-
not be of long duration. The number of Christians of
all nations who have been exiled up to this moment,
is estimated at between 30 and 40,0C0.
*. M. d'Ottenfels is preparing to return to Vienna.
We hear that M. Hussar has had another conference
with the Reis Effendi, which has not led to any change
in the measures of the Government. The tranquillity
of the Capital • has been hitherto preserved in a sur-
prising manner ; but great fears are entertained for the
arrival,of the Asiatics, who will be joined by the dis•
tionteated of all classe,.—The letters from the provinces
still arrive regularly."--f.Erankfort Paper, March 6.

The Algesiesne Zeituv to the 6th inst. has also been
received. The following are extracts:
TRIESTE, Fn. 28.
We have no positive information respecting the en-
garment which has taken place in the island of Scio,
• between the Greeks and a Turkish corps that came over
from Asia; but it is supposed that the Greeks were
defeated. In the storm, in which the brig commanded
by Lord Cochrane's nephew war wrecked, the fire-ship
of Canaris was obliged to cut away its masts ; the cor-
vette and other vessels sought refuge in Skyra. A short
time ege Miaulis came to Skye with the Hellas frigate,
and having procured provisions and 6,000 dollars,
sailed to Scio. Count Capo d'lstria has been received
at Edina with extraordinary ceremony, and is engaged
in reaming order in all the branches of the Adminis-
tration. The English ship of the line in which be came
is said to be placed at his disposal. It is said that Ca-
rabusa was taken by the-English alone, who had two
-frigates, two brigs, and two corvettes. The Cambrian,
Commodore Hamilton, was run on the rocks and
wrecked.

A letter from Skyra, of 15th February, says, " The
English landed 500 soldiers, who took possession of the
island, and put a garrison into the fort. All the pirates,
except one, vere in the port. Two French brigantines,
-bound from Smyrna to Salonichi, have been wrecked
in the Gulf of Volo; and a Swedish ship, with corn,
from o.les,a to Genoa, has met with the same fate on
the toast of Negrupont.

" According to a noticed the Greek Goverment, the
plOrie has manifested itself in Negropont. Twelve
hundred Tulles have made a sally from the port of
Scio, and done considerable injury to the Greeks. We
have no details here, at Skyra, respecting this affair, but
it ulna have been of some importance, as several barks
have arrived here and at Egina, with persons who have
left the i6land."—Algemeine Zeitung, March 6.

At a late hour thi► forenoon, we received, by express,
the Gazette de France, dated yesterday. It is very barren
of political news. The following are extracts :
