FRONTIERS OF TURKEY.

There has been an unexpected rencontre between the troops of
General Geismar and those of the Puha of Scutari. The former,
who was ordered to observe the Pache's motions, learned that
he intended to march towards Adrianople, and resolved therefore
to advance front Wrusa to Sophia. On the third day he fell in,
neer Arnant Laical, with a corps of 1,700 Albanians, who had
taken up a strong position, and entrenched themselves with three
pieces of cannon. A flag of truce seat by General Geismar to re-
quire a free passage, was received with a discharge of musketry,
on which the Albanians prepared to make an attack, the result of
which was, that they suddenly abandoned the position, leaving their
guns behind.
General Geismar forbid his troops from pursuing the enemy in
their Bight, and even allowed their baggage to follow them without
obstruction. The Parka of Scutari, on informing the Turkish
plenipotentiaries of this event, repeated the assurance of his peace-
able intentions, and entreated that the advance of General Gehmar
might be postponed, which was accordingly done, by order of
Count Diebitsch. At the same time General Geismar received
orders to return to the Pacha the cannon and whatever else the
Turks bad lost. • Happily this affair cost link blood on either side,
and tranquillity is fully restored.
We have received the following particulars of the troubles that
have occurred in the vicinity of Smyrna. For about two months
past the inhabitants of the province of Null had been provoked
to the utmost by contributions which the tax-gatherer increased at
their own pleasure. At length they rose against the Magistrates,
drove them away, as well as the tax-gatherers. and placed an indi-
vidual, named Kid Mehated Zeibeck, at the head of the adminis-
tration. This person, being of an enterprising character, has al-
ready made great progress, and finds every where new adherents.
At the same time, he recommends moderation, protests that be by
no means revolts against the Sultan, but has taken arms against his
Ministers only, who use their power to oppress the poor, and that
his sole object is to replace the taxes on their ancient
footing. He has already made himself master of the
towns of Aidin, Giduselbhsar, de Tire, and Minder
Capaba, the magistrates of which have Bed and retired to
Smyrna. Considering the spirit that prevails there, Kid Mehnted,
if he should advance so far, will meet with no opposition ; and be
able to get possession of the city without obstacle.
The Currier deg 116,116 contains news from the island of Can-
dia of the 9d and 9tb of October.

" The news of the Treaty of Peace rapidly spread amoog the
Greeks, who looked for it to be able to judge of their future des-
tiny. The 110:04Int, from Egina are not favourable, and the in-
surgents see that it is possible that Crete may remain subject to
Turkey, however they expect supplies of men and money from the
Government. Governor Hann has withdrawn to Carabuno."
In the district of Apokorna there have been disturbaners
among the Greeks, in consequence of which the Sphaliots
burnt two villages. The crop of olives has entirely failed. The 30
Deputies sent from Crete to Argos, have returned with 40 horses
which were landed at Klasainos. The Greeks have spread a re-
port that Sulliman Pacha has orders from the Sultan to massacre all
the Greeks, except -children under seven years of age.

Between the 40th and 25th October, some flpha!lots came to the
village of Samaparoli to carry offs Greek girl, whose brothers op.
posed them with arms, and killed one of them ; on which a number
of their adherents assembled, and set Are to the village. M, H. *
deb English Gentleman, who, itt the first year of the Greek bum.
rection was making a scientific tour in EEypt, happened to be at
Cairo when a Greek girl from Candia,nine years of age, watofered
for sale. Mr. H. bought the child, sent her to England, and had
her educated with great care; and when she had attained the age
of fifteen, married her.

On the 7th of September, Mr. H. with his young wife, arrived
here from Malta, and went to her native place, in the Interior of
the Wand, to let her parents take part In her good fortune. They
were not a little astonished to see their daughter, after a separation
of sloe years. as a Lady of consequence, dressed like a Princess,
led surroondsd with servants; but refused, however, to accom-
pany her. •
The Greek revolution affords many each episodes, which would
furnish pleasing subjects for the drama. History will one day col-
feet these pleasing traits of European philanthropy and generosity.
