We have received to-day the Paris Papers of Tues-
day and Wednesday.
They contain a great deal of important intelli-
gence respecting the progress of the insurrection in
the Turkish empire, which, according to all appear-
ances, may now be really termed an insurrection of the
Greeks. We cxpressed, some time ago, our doubts
cf its being a rising of the genuine Greeks, and our
conviction that if it was not, there was but little
chance of its leading to any important result. As
these doubts are removed, our hopes of Grecian
emancipation return; and we are induced now to
think almost as favourably as we did before despond.
ingly of the exertions of the Liberator of Greece and
his followers.

A private letter from Zante, of the 12th April,
states, that the movements in. Moldavia and Wallachia
were merely intended as the signal of insurrection,
and as a false attack to cover more efficient opera-
tions. The question at issue, it is said, between the
Turks and Greeks, is not like that of ordinary rebel-
lions—a struggle for an equal participation of con-
tested rights. It is nothings less than who shall pos-
sess a house, and who shag' possess a tomb ? The
Greeks massacre the Turks wherever they can find
them, and the Turks, in their turn, when conquerors,
massacre the Greeks. This idea is so familiar to the
Greeks, that it would be difficult to find one brave
enough to draw back, were he even inclined. They
see, in fact, less to fear from continuing the war, than
from laying down their arms ; when to lay them
down would only be to surrender themselves to cer-
tain death from a merciless enemy.
It is said that the whole of the Morea is now in
arms. At Patras," continues the writer, ge the fire
which was set to the city, continued to rage for more
than four days; and while the cross was hoisted as
the sign of independence, the Greeks slaughtered the
Turks wherever they could meet with them. The un-
fortunate refugees, at the houses of the European Con-
suls, were every instant in terror least they should
he dragged forth. At last, after six days of the
greatest confusion, Archbishop Gerveaux, a man en-
dowed with great firmness, and well known for his
patriotism and intelligence, who had left the town on
the 30th March, returned on the night of the 6th
April, as Protector of the Greek Fopulation, and
enemy of the tyrant Turks. Immediately on his ar-
rival the following Proclamation was published
throughout the city .:••4 Respect to the Consuls, As-
sistance to Christians—Death to the Turks
On the 7th, news was received that the Castle
of Lepanto (Lesser Dardanelles) was attacked by the
Insurgents. On the Bth, it was reported that a Ca-
luyer, named Gregoras, had seized on the isthmus of
Corinth, and that he occupied it at the head of a
vmPs of 6000 Christians, Greeks, and Albanians.—
%aisle di Romans is also very hard pressed by the
Christian population of Argos. The Mainotes at the
lame time issuing from Eletithero-Laconia, com-
manded by Captain Colocothron, Es-Major in the
Russian service, and Captain Pozzomita, have seized
in Laconia on Misistra and Bordonni. In Massenis,
a column under the orders of the Capitanachi, a
very ancient family, is in military occupation of
Calamathon."
The following are other extracts, all tending to
slew the increasing magnitude of the insurrection,
