SMYRNA, MAY 2.

Since the events which took place in our city es
the 12th, 18tb, 14th, and 15th of April, we had a
week ago other alarming scenes, which were caused
by false reports circulated by two Turkish Mond;;
who were afterwards discovered to be agents of the
rebel Ali Pacha, of Joannina, who, in order to effect
a diversion favourable to him, had formed the phi
to spread alarm in various parts of the Empire. Ac
cording to the report of these Dervises, the whole a
the Morea was in a state of insurrection: Ypsan
and Ydra had also revolted ; they were arming thei
vessels, and cruising at the entrance of the Ufa
stop the Ottoman vessels. After having thus excited
the greatest uneasiness in the minds of the Turks
they said to them, “ Why do you delay to takearms7
,s Will you have the Greeks first come and massurt
your wives and children ?" The Magistrates meted
these Dervises, and thus prevented the ill consequence
that might have arisen from these incitements to mak
The Greeks, in order to give a proof that they
were far from entertaining any such ideas as wee
imputed to them, offered to place all their arms it
the hands of the Turkish Authorities, which we
done without difficulty. However, the Janissuies
roused by the proclamations of the Dervises, claimed
their ancient privileges, which they had suffered •
fall into disuse: they demanded, in consequence, a
take the city under their protection, and that they
should be commanded by their own Officers, whisk
was granted them; so that, besides the Governor's
guard, we have now that of the Janissaries, labia
is an additional security for our tranquillity;
since all the inhabitants are generally persons in be
siness, to whom the Greeks owe large sums; theta'
terest, therefore, requires that the Greeks should ser
be massacred, but, on the contrary, that they shall
be able to return to their usual occupations. Anotha
circumstance which serves to relieve us from all*
easiness, is, that the authority is at ths mom sal
the hands of well-intentioned persons, who sahib*
mony with the Consuls of the European Powers. We
can, therefore, assure our correspondents, that
shall not have any revolt to announce to them, So
that the political existence of this country
be compromised.

• The Paris Papers of Thursday and rridal ha"
arrived. The accounts which they contain, pa* 11.
larly from Spain, are of considerable interest.
On the 4th inst. the counter-revolutionary to vii'
rators, the Curate ZALADIJELDFit and the Adretta
LAZARAtuA, were executed at Vittoria; and on t:1
same day a Sub-Lieutenant, who was an accomplha
of Ammo, shared a similar fate at Madrid.
The sentence against General Eta° had not, do°
to the Sth instant, been put in execution, and th.r.

after the crime was committed, and that Marrurt
SiRRA SIO, the Judge who signs the decree, was
one of those who, some time ago. complained to the
Cortes that Etto was not brought to ju«ice—a cir-
cumstance by which, if he did not prejudge the Ge-
neral's case, he at least disqualified himself from de-
ciding impartially upon it.

When the sentence of death was announced to
Elan he is said to have replied, with great sang-
froid, " I thought to have lived fifteen years longer,
but it appears I am mistaken."

The Government is said to have sent orders to the
Captain-General and Political Chief of Valencia, that
the armed force should be placed at the disposal of,
and second the measures of the Territorial Audience,
which is definitively to pronounce on the appeal of
General Euta. It is added, that a number of corn-
panes of provincial grenadiers, which are assembled
at Alcala, have received orders to repair to Va-
lencia by forced marches, although the garrison
of that city was already very numerous. These
measures had given rise to various conjectures. It
was supposed by some that the Territorial Audience
would not confirm the sentence, and that the pre-
sence of the troops would in that case be necessary to
prevent any rising of the people, who were strongly
exasperated against the General.
A Prior of the Convent of Atocha has been
arrested and committed to the same prison at
Madrid where VANUESA met his death. He is
accused of having had a slla e in the plot of th:it
unfortunate individual. When the populace of
Madrid heard of his arrest, some wicked-minded
persons endeavoured to excite them to inflict on
him the same sort of summary vengeance which
they had exercised on VANUESA ; but the Govern-
ment, apprised of the design, took such vigorous
measures as to prevent any attempt at its being put
in execution.
