however, the hope of foreign succour had inspired
their efforts, it is probable that when they find
the grounds of their expectation fail them, their
energies will accord'ngly abate. In the mean time
ue would observe, that the accounts we receive if
their success, are conveyed through the median of
those Ultra-royal journals of the French, which are
well disposed to fabricate what they desire to ef-

But independent of the agitations that are said t'
prevail in Spain, the intelligence that relatts to the vio-
lence of the Turks, and the effect of the neutrality of the
Austrian and Russian councils on the operstionsof the
Greeks, afford the enemies of freedom here some cordial
satisfaction. News from Smyrna, which we rive defer,
represent the Greek insurrection having prodseetta
terrible re-action on the part of the enemies of their
religion ; and an account from The Aueiriq Wearer
states dissension and decline to have taken p! to among
the forces of the insurgents. The following are the
details to which we have referred :

"The sentence of errommuniration issued by the
Greek Patriarch, and which was just received at Con-
stantinople, pronounces an anathemas' against Michaud
Sono, and all those who have taken part in the con-
spiracy against the Grand Seignior, their legitimate
Sovereign. The Divan or Council assembled immedi
ately after the departure of Prince Stine; they were
engaged in consulting upon sending a deputation to the
Porte, to represent to the Ottoman Government that the
inhabitants of Moldavia have not in any way taken up •
arms against their lawful Monarch, and that Michael
Sam alone is guilty of what is past ; and further. to
solicit the Porte to send another Hopsodar into Mol-
davia.

measures to put down the Greek insurrection, fond
