It is a remarkable fait. that notwithstanding the dis-i
mttous affair of Athens, not one Greek soldier—evew
of.those who lost their chiefs—has beer, known to quit
the army and to retire to their families. This perse-,
verance under misfortune proves that this unfortunate',
people are determined to be free, or to perish, even to'
the last man. They still remember with horror what

warm imaginations still picture to them the dishonour
to which their families are yet exposed.
Ibrahim Paclsa has quitted the Int-tress of Patras. He
has advanFetf at the head of a corps of Arabs towards
the tits of Yostizza. He has addressed a circular letter
to the Greek chiefs who command corps, in which he
promises to continue them as Captains in their pro:,
lances, provided they acknowledge him as master, and
come and do homage to him as such. If they should
reuse, he threatens them with utter extermination;
• without sparing even women or children. He also pro-
mises that he will receive with honour among his troops
'those Greeks who may wish to enter. Some of the
Chiefs have answered, that a national Government has
altead y been instaHed, to which they haiersworh fidelity
and obedience, and that he must address himself to that
Government. "As to the execution of your threats,",
they add, "it is a kindness to us. We prefer that All

The following is an extract of a letter from Pere,
.written by an individual who forms part of a diploma-
- tic corps:
. " Affairs here appear to be taking a serious turn. One cannot
conceive the arrogant tone which the Ministers of the Porte have
for some time back adopted towards the great Powers, particularly
towards Russia. It is confidently said, that two Turkish agents left
this secretly, on the lath and 19th of June, for Teheran, on a m s-
eines to the Persian Government. It is added, that as soon as M.
Ribeaupierrt was informed of the circumstance, be hastened to in-
'form his court, by dispatching a courier extraordinary to St. Pc.
tersburgh.
" It is stated that Tartars have been successively dispatched to
Belgrade, Widdin, Silistria. and Whischuk, with strict orden to the
the Pashas of these provinces to exert themselves with all possible
ketivity in getting together the troops which have been organised
according to the new system adopted by the Porte. It wouliiar
pear that the Porte wishes to establish a strong cordon on he es-
treme frontier of Moldavia and Wallachia, so that the whole sfelts,
bank of the Pruth may be lined with troops."
The Memorial Bordelais contains the following
notice:

been guilty of my political offence from the year 1807. up to this

We received this morning the Austrian Observer to
the 16th instant. It contains advices from Constan-
tinople to the 26th ult. attesti•ig the firmness With which
the SULTAN proceeds in his schemes of reform, and
annotmcilig another important change in the, domestic
polity of the Empire. Before, the Administration had
been purely military, and consequently combining all
the rigour and appalling simplicity of a system, which

into two dialect branches., end den, the former
being Confided di heretofore to the -Michas, and the
latter to the Civil Governors--which, if it bepersevered
in, may be attended with as beneficial effects- on the
domestic interests of the Empire, as the new organiza-
tion of the arme4 force is likely to improve its position
with respect to foreign St rtes. The division of powers
has been a:ready introduced into Smyrna t andthe idea
of seletting that place for the first trial is a proof, that
prudence goes hand in hand with 'matins the innovations
of the Sultan. The great number of Europeans id
that city, some of whom are personally known to
us as very clever and enlightened men, must have
rubbed off a great- deal of the old Turkish rust broils
the minds of the natives, and consequently rendered
them less'bigotted in favour of antiquated notions
than the inhabitants of any other place in all Tar key.
As soon as the system works there well, it can be
introduced into other puns with more facility, as well
as a greater chance of recess; 'and, whatever may
be the late of the present innovations, they chew at least
the bold and 'vigotoui genitsi of the reigning Sovereign;
as well as a considerable improvement in the great body
of the Tot kidt natiOn.". Hew long this change in thel
proverbially hard character of that .people had been
operating, before it gave manifest signs of its existence,.
it is very difficult to say ; but, of this we are certain, that
the insurrection of the Greeks has resuscitated energleir
amongst the Talks, which were thought long ettinctil
and that it absolutely promises to be the commencement,
of a new and in -re fortunate era in the histories ? btA,
nations. We have heard no one as 'et eesitute to :deny

its tendency to hasten the developeinem of tharesources
moral and physical,' of Greece; wlelst, we believe, it
_universally regarded, as thelorerunner of great and ie.
deed irreparable calamities to bee former oppressors-
Ii
the Turks weather this storm, a Ight will be poured MI
upon them, which in .time will lay bare all their' false
prejudices, and probably enable them to meet the new
circumstances, with faculties fully equal, if not su-
, perior, to their pressure. In the mean time, we
learn horn the article in the Asturian °lamer, that
nothing could eq-ial the traliqoillity which 'eontinued to
prevail in the Capital and provinces, but the energy,
which charactetised the levying and training of the new
troops. In these preparations, the Porte, however, did
not neglect the arts of p .liticaLiefinement, and, in its
reception of the Russian Ambaaador, it displayed a'
fineness of tact; which few, who had superficially stu-
died its character,imagined it was capable of. In this
instance, it made a great defariure from its former stiff
etiquette; ands upon the whole, that ceremony strongly
confirms our foehter arguisent. •
The Austria's Observer also contains accluits from
Corfu to the 27th ult. friim which it appears that the
Seraskier, after the surternier oi•tke Afirqpnlis, marched
into WestetuGreece, and had• already reached Thebes I
on his way to Missolcmghi, at which place he was es•
pect d about the middle of Jutie. The reasons of this or.
expected movement are not mentioned, but, besides the
o'ivious one of putting down the Greeks in that quarter, :1
has probably been Undertaken, that he may not give
any cause of jealousy to IBRAHIM PACHA, which
could be scarcely avoided, had he marched his ttoops
into the Morea. In t're meantime the tormer had, as
we stated yesterday f. oar another source, detathei part
of his Arabs towards Tripolisza; whilst the object of
this movements' atm ding to the present iersion, is to
lay siege to the citadel of Carinth (Acro Corinth). and
not to Napoli di Romania. It
_appears likewise from
the Corfu accounts, that an unusual bustle. 'oak
place all at once amongst Ithe British ships of
war on that station, occasioned. by the arrival of I
the English brig the Pelican, Captain hue, with'
dispatches from the -coast of tle Morea, for Vice-
Admiral Sir EDWARD CUDRI ,GTON, Commander-in-
Chief of, our naval forces in the Mediterranean. The
Pelican also brought di-patches for the LORD HIGH
Corantseionsai alit though their contests had no
transpired, it was inferred from the circumstance of the
squadrons being ordered to get immediately ready for
sea, that they must be of importance. It is not
credible, however, that this bustle was occasio-ied by
the increased audacity of the Greek pirates; for, if these
-were the real cause, it is not a line-afibattle ship, like
the Asia, but light vessels,that would have been sent
for the purpose of repressing their hardihood. It iel
far more probable, that the dispatches 'elated to the
Egyptiarlexpedition, and that Sir EBWARDCODRINGTO:i
was proceeding, either to prevent its sailing, or inter-
cept its passage if it bad actually sailed. We shill, in
all probability, soon receive very interesting news from
that quarter.

pers to the 14th June, and Bogota to the 18th May,
