From Smyrna papers, received per brig
Torpedo, capt Chandler, at Baltimore.
Smyrna, cath april.
The Easter of the Greek Catholics and
Jews was passed in perfect and uninter-
rupted harmony. We expected nothing
less from the wise and salutary measures
adopted by the public authorities. A
calm has thus succeeded to most violent
tempest, and present appearances prompt
US to hope that the chimeras engendered
by terror have vanished forever. Pru
dence has done much by preventing the
evil consequences of the first bad i'm
pressicns.

will sail Immediately from Constantine

tinued our course Till the shot Tell thick

she Immediately hailed, and ordered our
boat on board which was sent with three
men, who were detained O. board, and
the boat returned full Of armed people,
who Immediately jumped on deck armed
with blunderbusses, cuClasses and pistols,
took possession of the brig, and drove all
hands below, cutting and manning every
one within their reach.
They then proceeded to put the brig
about, and stood in for the land; IN dong
which, the mate and one man were called
up from below to assist in working
her, they standing over US with cut
lasses, and utterlng the most horrid
went down into the cabin, were Capt.
Drummond & passenger were confined,
and presenting pistols 70 their breasts,
demanded an immediate delivery Of all
their money, watches and apparel on
board, on pain of immediate death. and
accompanied the threat with severe
strokes of the sabre. and a menace that
in the event of any thing being found
concealed, a general massacre should
take place.
Under this impression, and we'll con-
WINGED, from the desperate appearance OF
the men, that it would be carried into
immediate execution, added to which we
overheard their intention of running the
brig on shore, we deemed it expedient, for
the safety of our lives, and the preserva-
ton of the vessel and cargo, to deliver up
every thing demanded, consisting OF 4
trunks and one chest containing wearing
apparel, &c to the
value of D.l000
Cash in dollars, doubloons and
guineas 800
Four valuable gold & silver
watches, with chains, seals, &c. 500
Also writing desk, and its contents, a
spy glass, double barreled gun, three
pistols, a sword, all the sea clothing, beds
and bedding, one complete suit " colors,
stock wines, cabin furniture anu cooking
utensils, leaving us nothing but the clothes
ON our backs.
This vessel appeared to be a large open
boat, black, with two white streaks, two
split sails, square sail and jib, the tack of
the jib coming down to the stem, the fore
sail much larger than the mainsail, much
resembling large Havana passage boat,
and full of men, apparently OF all nations,
but OF the most terocious and diabOlical
class. She was full of goods doubtless
plundered from other vessels, as he ack-
nowledged having overhaeled vessel the
day before. At eleven P. nj. after strip
ping us to the skin IN search of more mo-
ney, left us and made off for the land in q
state of considerable intoxication, with a
threat of again returning to massacre eve
ry soul, and this we considered highly
probable. We Immediate took posses
sion of the brig again, tackled and stand
ing eff, saw them no more.

OFFICIAL.
Contsumtinopie, Goth april.
Upon the receipt OF the news from
Moidavia, the Turks in Constantinopls
flew to arms; and great apprehensions
were entertained least the most respecta-
Bile GreeXs would leave the city. The
inhabitants were commanded to keep
within doors after o'clock; but reports
began to pervade the city which predict.
ed an approaching catastrophy.
On the 18th the soldiers recame un
governable. Several persons were massa-
cred in the streets, and the balls whizzed
in every quarter of the city. Tire Turks
rose in pursuit Of the Greeks. Pistols s,
carbines were discharged on the vessels
at the quays, and many seamen were
wounded. The Europeans. however, were
respected. This was not the case at
Therapia and Buyucders The troops
that had embarked for Galatz and the
Black Sea, landed and plundered great
number OF houses The residence of MIR.
Fonton, Consul of his majesty, the En-
peror of Russia, was not spared. and that
gentleman escaped with difficulty. The
incendiaries endeavored, but in vain to
burn Jenl Mazda. At the instance of Ba.
ron Strogonof, the Russian Envoy, three
hundred and fifty Jannissaries were
marched to the protection of that village.
At Constantinople, the Greeks who
were discovered in the streets were cruel
ly massacred; and individuals of all ma (
tons found on the Canal, we're put to !
death. Bullets were discharged at the \
glasses, and fired through several win
dows. On Sunday, 2lst, being Easter
day, the Greek Patriarch, so years ofage,
with three bishops, and eight Of the infer
Tor clergy, were publicly hung. This is
the first instance, for two hundred years,
of the execution of Patriarch An en-
ergetic procla nation of the 9th inst put
an end to these disorders.

was upwards OF inch and an half over the
abdomen. On cutting thro' the cartlIages
of the ribs, and exposing the cavity of the
Thorax, tr'fng adhesion of the left pleu
"a was found to the pleura costails. About
three ounces of reddish fluid were contain.
ed in the left cavity, and nearly 8 ounces
in the right. The lungs were quite sound
The pericardium was natural, and contain
ed about an ounce of fluid. The heart was
of the natural size, but thickIy covered with
fat The aurcles and venrrcles, exhibited
nothing extraordinary, except that The mus.
cular parts appeared rather paler than ma
tural.
Upon opening the abdomen the omentum
was found remarkably fat, and on exposing
the stomach, that viscus was found The seat
Of extensive disease. Strong adhesion con-
nected the whole superior surface, particu-
larry about tn pyloric extremity in the con.
cave surface of the left lobe OF The liver;
and separating these ian ulcer, which pene.
trated the coats Of the stomach, was disco.
vered one inch from the pylorus, sufficient
to allow the passage of the little finger
The internal surfase Of the stomach to near.
ly its whole extent, was a mass of cancer.
GUS disease of schirrous portion advancing
TO cancer; this was particularly noticed
near the pyIorus. The cardiac extremity,
for small space near the termination of The
esophagus was the only part appearing in
healthy state. The stomach was found neal
" filled with a large quantity of fluid, re.
sembling coffee grounds.
The convex surface OF the left lobe OF The
