~GStAiAN PAPERS.

THE EVENI, G STAR.

The Nuremberg Correspondent of the 18th instant,
and Frankfort Papers to the 22d, artived last night.
The following are extracts:
NUREMBERG, DECEMBER 17.
We communicate the following accounts from
Constantinople, which come down :o the middle of
November, and are from a Frenchman now in that
city, who is well informed:
" There are still very different opinions in the
Divan respecting. the demands of Russia. These opi-
nions are, in all likelihood, only poally different;
for at the bottom all the members of the Divan are
probably animated by hatred to Russia, and would
willingly reject all its demands, if they. did not fear
the consequences of such a step, but they are not
agreed upon the manner in which they shall proceed.
Some advise concession, to avoid a war; the others
are for cutting through the knot with the sword: the
Grand Vizier is particularly head of the first party, and
seems to be on p good terms with Lord
Strangford. The Reis Effendi was likewise inclined
to this party; but his advice excited the displeasure
of the Sultan, and has unexpectedly caused his dis-
missal from office, which was communicated in an
order addressed immediately from tle Sultan to the
Grand Vizier, and was wholly unlooked for by the
latter: however, there had been for some time a mis-
understanding between these two high Office, s.
" Among the members of the Divan. there are
also some obstinate individuals, who bel,oll with
great dissatisfaction even Lord Strangford's inter-
ference in this business, and would willingly free
themselves from it.
" The Chiefs of the Janissaries are the principal
adversities of the Europeans in general. and of the
Russians in particular. The Porte never will or can
consent to grant new rights in favour of the Greeks;
and if it did so, it does not appear how the Greeks
would be able to exercise these tights: a general in-
surrection would rather ensue.
" It is now known that all hopes of seeing a Rus-
sian Ambassador at Constantinople are in vain; nay,
a categorical period is now spoken of, within which
the Porte must declare itself, otherwise its silence will
be considered as a declaration of war.
" The Turki h fleet is in bad condition, and will
not be able to put to sea again before the spring; for
this reason, a number of small vessels have been fitted
out, in order at least not to leave the Greeks in en-
tire possession of the Archipelago, as they new are,
and from which the Turkish fleet could not expel
them when it cruised in those seas.
" Everything relative to the war with Persia is
kept quite secret: it is known, however, that the Per-
sians have been hitherto victorious, and that the Porte
has nut sufficient force to oppose them. It is now
said that great armaments are making in Asia."
Our accounts from the Morea, up to the 14th of
November, say that the hope that the Turks would
not undertake anvhing of importance this winter, is
confirmed ; and the Greek Chiefs flatter themselves
that they shall he able, before the spring, to destroy
the Turkish power in the Morea, by means of the in.
habitants of Coron, Patras, and Artos. To be secure,
however, at all events, the Mainotes have requested
the Soo, eine Court at Calamata, and the Ecclesias-
tical Synod to remove to Napoli de Malvoisia; but
this pi oposal has been rejecled for the present.
Tire forts of PA sari, Chieltsa, Misitra, Malvoisia,
and Maina, which had been much damaged in the
late campaign, have been entirely repaired, to secure
against the future eruptions of the Turks the country
of Sparta (or the Mainites), which is wholly freed.
The differences between Demetrius Ypsilanti, the
Senates, and Military Chiefs, continue. The latter
are all 'Defined to recognize as Arehistrategus the
brave conquer,' of Tripolizza, whose heroic courage
is generally admired: the choice must, however, be
made in a General Assembly, which will speedily be
convoked. A strong division of the Greek fleet
covers the ports that have been delivered.

NUREMBERG, DECEMBER 15.
It is Armed, that it is intended to open a formal
loan in Russia, in favour of the Greeks, under a high
,guat antee.

We have received Papers from Batavia, containing
the details of the operations against Palembang by
the Netherland forces, the result of which we have
already given from the Dutch Papers. It may be
recollected that the accounts in these Papers stated
the surrender of the Sultan, and added, that General
de KOCK intended to send him to Batavia.
The Bataviasche Courant, of the 4th of August,
announces, in a Supplement, the arrival of the cap-
tive
Prince, on board the Dageraad frigate, accom-
panied by such of his nearest relatives as wished to
accompany him. It appears that it was on the Ist
of July that the troops took possession of the Kraton,
and on the 3d the Es-Sultan embarked on board the
ship appointed to receive him.
Hatred to his younger brother indueed the Es-
Salmi to do- considerable damage to the Palace,
which could not have been much worse treated had
oar troops taken it by storm.
There were found, however, in the Kraton, 74
pieces of cannon, of which 31 are brass. These, added
to the guns on the batteries of Gombora and Pladjoe,
make a total of 200 pieces of artillery, taken in the
course of a few days by our troops.
Of the far famed treasures of Machmood Badar
Ocdien, no part has been found in itis Palace, except
sit inconsiderable sum in ready money.
On the Ist of July the Sultan; appointed by au-
thprity of the King of Ws Netherlands, assumed the
reins of Govainnent, under the name of Ratoc Achmat
Ilayern Ocdien.

In the STAR of Thursday we mentioned, that great
atrocities were reported to have been committed by
the Greeks, on the taking of Tripolizza; expressing
our regret that, if (if) such excesses had been com-
mitteJ, so good a cause as that of the Greeks should
have been stained by such a .rime aad we took care
to guard our Readers against giving too ready cre-
dence to such a statement, by informing them that
" ail the French Papers were silent as to this affair."—
In fact, we had every reason to discredit the charge ;
and now we assert that the whole was a gross fabri-
cation, got up—not in the Office of the Austrian
Observer, for that would not have surprised us—but
by pretended official caterers for the Courier. Yes,
this is the fact, and all England ought to know it.—
Not only is it the open policy of men connected with
the Government to endeavour to chill every generous
feeling in favOur of an oppressed people, but our
'ears, in aid of this policy, are daily abused with the
most impudent forgeries ! and for what purpose ? to
seduce the people of this country into a belief that
I the Turks are everything that is good, humane, and
civilized—in a word, that the rule of the Porte is a I
Legitimate Government ! but the Greeks, the robbed,
the enslaved, the butchered Greeks are deserving of
neither help nor commiseration.
Let the Public only mark the means employed to
give a greater semblance of truth to the charge re-
specting the conduct of the Greeks on taking Tripe-
lizza. The article on which we founded our short
notice, concluded thus: " As it is known that a Bri-
tish Gentleman, Mr. Gosport, was g Chef d'Etat
Major of the besieging army, we have great plea-
sure in being able to state, that although Mr. GORDON
was present at the siege, and contributed to its success
by his exertions, as he hall to the preparations for it
by his liberality, he earnestlq remonstrated against
die treachery in contemplation a and finding all his
representations disregarded, he quitted the camp, sniff
has since quilted the service altogether, conceiving that
it was neither consistent with his own honour, nor with
the honour of his country, to support a cause which
was carried on in violation of every principle of
good faith and humanity."
In the statement just quoted, there is not one word
of truth from beginning to end. There are letters in
town from Mr. GORDON so late as the 12th October, I
six weeks at least after the capture of Tripolizza.—
That Gentleman was then holding the rank of Chef
d'Etat Major of Prince YPSILANTI, and was on his
way to Tripolizza, of which, we understand, he has
since been made Commandant. Mr. GORDON did
not share in the siege and storming of Tripolizza,
for he was then in the Island of Idra. So very difp
ferent is the opinion entertained by this gallant Scots-
man of the Greeks from that attributed to him, that
he writes in the highest terms of their union, of their
warlike enthusiasm, and of the advancement they were
making in every thing conducive to their independence.
As to the Turks reported, in the foul fabrication to
which we have alluded, to have been so cruelly used
by the Greeks, let the People of this country, whom
it is sought to deceive, mark the real facts. The
Turkish garrison of Tripolizza were actually treating
with the Greeks on the terms of a capitulation, when
news arrived of the Turkish fleet having been seen in
the lonian seas : on learning this, the Turks broke off
the treaty ; and, in consequence, the Greeks carried
the place by storm, at an expense of 500 of their
own men. We need not mention what the cruel I
usages of even civilized warfare permits under such
circumstances; but *e must put our Readers in pos-
session of another fact, of the utmost importance to
be known when certain unfeeling brutes in our own
country would stigmatize as barbarians a people strug-
gling. for the common rights of civilized nations.
When the Turk first received information of the
designs of the Greeks, the PACHA of Tripolizza, which
is the Capital seat of Government of the Moira, sum-
moned all the Bishops and Magnates of the Greeks
to assemble there. About fifty persons of the chief
families of the country, who certainly were not privy "
to any deigns ofinsurrection, obeyed his •mandate.—
The revolution immediately broke out, and these in-."
dividuals were detained by the PAcHA as hostages."
We may judge what must have been the surprise of!'
the Greeks, when, on taking the town, they found
that these distinguished persons had been cruelly'
butchered two months before.
Need we wonder—after carrying a place by, storm
—a place occupied by merciless barbarians, who have,
in fact, shewn a determination to extirpate (yes, to
Extirpate) the whole race of the Greeks—after 6n4-
ing that these Legitimates had murdered their hos-
tages!—after learning too the cruelties and butcheries

The French Papers of Tuesday last arrived in their
regular course this forenoon ; but the only article of
interest they contained—the proceedings in the Cham-4
ber of Deputies on Monday—bad been anticipated
by express, and of which we gave an account yester-
day. The report of the assassination of the SULTAN
is still without confirmation, and the news from
Spain, Germany, Russia, and Turkey, is not of a later
date than what has already appeared in our Paper.
The French Journals announce that there would
not be any Papers published on Wednesday : the
Mohiteur add, " unless an Official Article rendered
it necessary !"

Monday between 86f. 60c. and 861 10c. and left off

Dutch Papers to the 27th instant, which arrived
this morning, confirm the account of the capture of
Palembang, and the arrival of the Ex-Sultan at Ba-
tavia. The following are the only extracts worthy
of notice: _

But ere long they will have cause to repent of their
folly. They appear to have allowed themselves to
be duped by the great northern Holy Ally; and yet I
they neglect the only means left to them to emit-
tenet his ambitious views. Let him alone, and he
will unite Turkey to his already overgrown Empire.
Ought this to be permitted? How can it be pre-
vented ? By enabling the Greeks to form them-
seises into an independent State. Is it too late to
effect this? Perhaps not. At all events it is not
too late to make the attempt. Nor need we to
stand alone in this. It seems pretty obvious that
France is disposed to counteract the ambitious
projects of the Autocrat; not by upholding the
Turkish power against that of Russia, but by 'Up-
porting the Greeks in the struggle in which they are
now embarked. Russia, it is true, from mere vicinage,
possesses many advantages; but with all her power,
she will find it no easy project to obtain the sove-
reignty of Greece, if France and England shall unite
in interposing their reio. But after the stupidness,
the wickedness even, that appears to have dictated
every proceeding respecting the present situation of
affairs in the East, we confess that we have but faint
hopes of any measure that ought to be pursued being
adopted by this country, under our present system.

Owing to the excellent arrangements made by the
Postmasters, all the Mails arrived this morning, not-
withstanding the state of the roads, within an hour
of the usual time, except those from Exeter and
Poole, which were forwarded in a chaise and four
from Staines, and did not reach town until ten o'clock.
The roads near town are in the most dreadful state:
on the Lea-bridge-road foot-passengers ate obliged
to be conveyed over the wooden-bridge, on the road,

Last night the tide at London Bridge rose higher
than was ever remembered. At a quarter past Asa
it completely 'covered the Terrace fronting Fub•

were up to the axletrees in water; the cellars of

FRANKFORT, DECEMBER 16.
It is affirmed that the English Affibassador at Con-
stantinople has constantly the most accurate accounts
of the incursion of the Persians into Asiatic Turkey,
and has communicated them alone to the Austrian
Government, which is silent respecting them. It is
remarked that this Ambassador received the first in-
telligence of it, and communicateslit to the Austrian
Government long before it received direct dispatches
from Constantinople on the subject. The Ministers
of the Poste are said to have given information to
Lord Strangford of the accounts they had received,
and his Lordship also received dispatches directly
from the English Agents in Persia and other parts
of Asia; so that he was better informed than the
Porte, and acquainted the Divan with many events
that were quite unknown at Constantinople.
