np hisses from Constantioople .of the 20th of
Alit aecordiag
.to sews from Vienna, are filled
with the most interesting details. The fury of the
Ilimalsam's appears to be at its height, and their
tinwatic rage without limits, as much are•they incensed
at the suecess of the Greek insurrection. Scarcely a
day passes without the execution, in that capital, of
Greeks, and of the most distinguished families.—
Prises Moretti, lately appointed dragoman to the
Porte, has been decapitated, according to some, at the
entrance to the Seraglio, and, to others, on the very
threshbold of the palace of the Greek patriarch. ,This
frightful event has filled with consternation sU those
petioles who lately beheld with erasure hls appoint-
ment to the high (ace above named.
The arrival of the troops recently levied in Asia, and
ordered for Constantinople by the new Vizier, Header
1U Pasha, proved, as had been expected, the prelude
to some dreadful scenes. During several days a great
camber of Christians were massacred by the populace
and an infuriated soldiery. It is even said that many
Oases IN the quarter of Pent were set fire to, and that
many assn, tromps, and children, lost their lint there

by the 'weed and the fames.
The aitsatle• of the Christians was extremely critics!.
owing to a degree of exasperation against them which
has &sod its way into the councils of the Divan itself,
and to their inability to restrain the Multitude, whose
rage had been exalted to the highest pitch by souse of
the recast proclamations.
In addition to the intelligesee from Constantinople
by this circuitous route, we received secoants from that
city, by the mail of yesterday, to the 15th of April.
Through this channel we tears the followieg fresh
ellicting particulars :—Tlie new Vizier arrived there
•a the list, with 10,000 troops, who were qoartered
*2 the Asiatic side of the city. The very next day be
ordered the venerable Greek Patriarch, with four Bi-
shops sad three Priests, to be executed on the gallows.
The Patriarch and the Bishops were hanged befit, the
Greek Church, this form of execution being regarded
is the most ignominious point of view. Great appre-
hessions are entertained that increased severities
woald follow, as, if the Turkish populace were sot
mstraiaed, a renal massacre of the Greeks would
fellow.

S

Letters from Adrianople state, that the levy of troops
in that city alone amounts to 12,000 men, and in every
part of tbe Turkish Empire the most active prepared's*
for war an ping on.
The meet outrageous excesses have been committed
by the Turkish soldiery, and several Franks have been
coshed for permitting their women to p abroad, and
thereby rendering themselves liable to insult; for seek

this important project. it Is now about. ISO years
since the basis of the Poor Laws was lahl b the
Act of the 434 of Elisabeth and tonal as the prin-
ciple of that Act has been host sight of and reverteof

by subsequent 'tattles, and decided u our sentiments
are against the nommen awl gross abuses that have
crept into the system, we are not so saardee es to
hope that those abases east be remedied by a measure
kof a sweeping kind that is hastily adapted. Every
year, since the basis of the system was laid. has,
we believe, given birth to some new Art. to alter
the original. The abuses to which the system is sub-
ject, are so obvious to every thoughtful mind, that every
one has conceived itself emispetmet to sleet an awed-
meet in it; but tl e wistariase has bee. that whew
one of its abuses has begun to be soreicted.' the at-
tempt has given occasion to another of a dilkeeat kind.
Nothing can be more widely at variance froM that
of the Poor which the Act of Ettesarre con-
templated, than depriving them of their liberty by
the Law of Settlement, and rendering thee aloft*
