LAYBAcH, MARCH %.
A short time after the death Of Prince
Alexander SuZzo, an insurrection broke
out IN Wallachia, at tie head of which
was native of the name Of Theodore.
who was formerly volunteer in the Rus
sian service, who was promoted to the.
rank of officer, and afterwards assumed
the name of Wladimeresco. This insur-
rectieH, in which only Pandohrs and Ar
nauts participated, and which, besides.
according to the leaders own decIara-
ton, was not directed against the Porte.
but against the Boyars, s. publick officers
ofthe country, spread so extensively dur
ing the interregnum, that Theodore tray-
ersed with impunity a considerable part
of what is called little. Wallachia 1.-THE
country about Crajoy,) and approximations
were entertained respecting his further
operations. 1t was, however, hoped.
that the approaching arrival of Prince
Callimachis the new-appointed Hospodar
OF Wailachia, would put an end to these
disorders, when suddenly, troubles of far
greater importance broke out in. MoIda-
via.
On the 9th ofthis month, Prince Alex
ander Ypsilanti, son of the former Hos
podar OF Moldavia, Major-General in the
Russian army, who for this year past has
been out of actual service. proceeded
with numerous retinue of Arnauts from
Bessarabia.to Jassay, and announced him
self as the deliverer of the Greeks from
the Turkish Government On the same
evening the Turks who were at Jassay
(about thirty in number) were disarmed,
and accordlngto all appearancewere put
TO death. ltiscertain that already three
days before the arrival of Prince Ypsilan-
ii. an instructions; attended with blood
shed, had taken place at Galaez, in which
all the Turks in that city who could not
save thmselves by flight were massa-
cred. and the city itself almost wholly
laid in ashes.
On the 7th of March, Prince Ypsilan-
ii issued proclamations, both TO the in
habitants of Moldavia and WaIlachia, and
to the Greek Nation in the other proyin-
ces of the Turkish Empire.
These proclamations are drawn up in
the most exalted language of poetry, in
which he declares himself to have been
called upon by many thousands of his
countrymen to undertake the work of
their deliverance-describes the insur-
rection of all the Greek tribes as rev.
olution which has long been resolved
upon, which has been preparing for ma
ny years by secret patriotick societies,
and is now every where matured for
execution and it is likewise asserted in
them, that the enterprise has to expect
the support Of a great neigkbouringi
Power.
AT the same time, Prince Fpsilantisad-.
dressed a petition, drawn up in the same
style, to his Majesty the Emperour of
Russia, and called on that august Sove-
reign not to refuse his powerful support
to the Greek Nation, and particularly to
the two Principalities, which were ex-
posed to great danger.
Assoon as the preceding intelligence
was received at Laybach, his Majesty the
Emperour Alexander was pleased to de-
clare, that he could consider the undertake
ing of Prince Ypsilanti only as an effect
of the unquiet spirit which characteristics
the present times, as we'll as of the mex
perfence nd'levity of that young man..
But at the same time his Majesty has re-
solved as follows:
6 lst. Prince ypsilanti is excluded from
the Russian service.
's2d. 1t is notified to him that his Maj
esty the Emperour- entirely. disapproves
of his enterprise, = and that he is never to
expect any kind Of support in it on the
part of Russia.
" Sd. Express orders are given to Cen
eral Count Wittgenstein, commanding in
chief the Russian troops on the Pruth and
in BessaTabia; to observe the strictest neu-
trality inthe troubles which have broken
