The accounts received from Turkey. in addition to
those we yesterday gave from the Austrian Observer,
Ilford bat little aid to us in learning the actual state of
the contest with the Greeks. Notwithstanding the
success of the Turks at Jassy, and the advantage said
to be gained over Ypsilanti, it appears that the insur-
4, Lion is spreading. According to letters from Sandia,
likeill, the posts from Sores and Salonics were due
lee days since. As the Ineurrection of the Greats
bad extended to Pharsalia and Larisea, it is suspected
that troubles have also broken out in Salonica. A
courier arrived at Belgrade the 2d July, has brought
intelligence that Hessen' Pacha, who fought AR Pacha
ofJoanniaa, is in full retreat towards Macedonia.—
This seems to confirm the rumour abovementioned.

The Emperor Alexander has permitted the body of the
Patriarch Gregory, who was strangled at Constanti-
nople, to be solemnly interred. This ceremony took
place on the 4th of June with much pomp. A part
of the Clergy of several Governments had arrived at
Odessa to accompany the funeral train. Eight thou-
sand troops under the command of Count Langeron.
fennel the lines. The body was to lucre laic in the
Cathedral for three data, and to be buried after-
wards in the 'atilt of the new Greek Church. The
lrtnperor had also sent 100,000 rubles to the relief of
the unfortunate Greek fugitives, who crowd the streets
of Odessa, and who bare lost all their property. The only
portion of the Austrian narratives to which we give en-
tire credit is what relates to the ferocity of the Turks.
According to letters from Smyrna, dated the 16th June,
the troops of Asia had forced their entrance into the
town, and killed the Governor, the Cadi and the Mollab,
ff
who endeavoured to keep them out. They afterwards
pillaged and assassinated all the Christians who had not
taken refuge on board the European ships. That ill-
fated town is ruined for a long period to come. When the
vessel, which brought these accounts to France, left
Smyrna, the Paella was endeavouring, bat vainly, to
maintain his authority ; the populace assumed the su-
premacy and massacred the Greeks, and it was appre-
hended that the exasperation of the Turks weak be-
come still more ungovernable when intelligence of the
destruction of a Turkish vessel, which the Greeks burn-
ed near the island of Alytilene on the 7th or Bth June
should arrive. It appears that but for the firmness of
the French Consul General, and that of the Commander
of the French naval station, the French quarter of the
town would have been burned down in the beginning of
June. On their side, the Commanders of the Greek fleet,
armed for the most part at like,lpsera, and Spode. mani-
fested an intention of bearing down on Smyrna, and if pos.
sible to make themselves masters of the place. The Franks
apprehending that they would thus be exposed to two
tires, had abandoned the town, and taken refuge et
board the vessels of war and such merchant ships as
were in the read, at the risk of undergoing all the diffi-
culties which the want of subsistence and the removal
to other plates might create. The Consuls themselves
have thought it their duty to do the same, and Al. Le
Normand de tiergrist (Commander of the French naval
station) signed and issued the following document,
dated 17th June:—" The massacre of the Greeks con
titres ; but up to this time the French are respected at
Smyrna, and all our countrymen are safe, thanks to the
good order which the officers of the station have pre-
served in their armed boats, and to the frank co-ope-
ration of the English corvette Iledi ea, Captain Hawkins,
who assists me in all circumstances of danger. The
Consuls of all nations are in the road, and under my

protectioo."
