TURKEY.
An article from Trieste mentions ru-
mour, of an Instruction having taken
place at Constantinople, in which the
Greek Patriarch was put to death, Prince
Ypsilanti had advanced on the Morea and
Epirus. The Turks are every where mas
sacred. Ali Pacha and Ypsilanti are
ready to support each other. Should the
. insurgents in Wallachia and Moldavia
make any progress, it is supposed that the
, Servians, who have been for some time
demanding fresh concessions ofthe Porte,
without effect, will renew their attempt
to shake off the Ottoman yoke. The OPP
posite extremities of the Turkish empire
also are, it is said, in state of much dan
ger and confusion. In Arabia, the We
chabites again raise their heads, and al
though Mahomet Ali, the Pacha of Egypt,
can alone restrain these troublesome in
surgents, the Porte has had the singular
indiscretion to incur the resentment Of the
Egyptian governor, by threatening him
with maritime expedition to strip him of
his treasures, the main spring of all his
military resources, and of his vigorous &
bold administration. Ali, therefore, in
stead of protector, becomes mortal enc
my to the Turks. All these fresh diff
culties press upon the Turkish govern
ment at time when it's utmost exertions
have been found inadequate to subdue the
Pacha of Janina. The German journal
lists in their speculations as to the mea
sures which it may adopt in the existing
emergency, state its present military
= force at Isl, 900 cavalry and 225, 1000 in
fantry-an estimate which we suspect to
be greatly exaggerated.
Private accounts from Jassy, in Molda-
via, contain the following details" The
plan for throwing off the Turkish yoke is
now ripe among the Greek nations in
Turkey. The plan formed in the secret
societies extends to Thessaly, Macedonia,
Albania, Morea, Romelia, and the islands
of the Archipelago. Every one able to
bear arms is called upon, and large funds
are prepared. At Jassy, after divine ser
vice on the 18th, three standards were
consecrated, to which the oath was taken
with the greatest enthusiasm. These
standards are all tri-coloured, black,
white, and red, as we'll as the cockade
One of these standards has upon it cross
with the device, In hoe Sligo where's, the
emblems and motto, which, according to
tradition, appeared in the heave4. to Con-
stantine the Great before battle, on
which depended the consolidation of his
power. and which induced him to assume
the Christian religion. The events in
Moldavia and Wallacbia are connected
with a great plan Ali Pacha is said to
have protested the Christian religion, and
to have assumed the name of Alexan-
der according to other accounts that OF
Constantine), and to have joined the al
lance"
An account from Brody, of the 10th of
March, after statement of the events in
Wallachia and Moldavia, says" Thous
ands Of Greeks repair daily unmolested
from the Russian territory to Prince
Ypsilanti, who had his head quarters at
Kischenew, in Russian Moldavia, on the
frontiers of Turkish Moldavia, and seems
; to have undertaken every thing of his own
head, without any higher authority"
(How severely this has been disapproved
by the Emperor Alexander is already
known. So much is certain, that for the
present no ships can sail from odessa
The Whitehaven Gazette of Monday
last says, con Friday this town was
thrown into state of extreme agitation,
when it was generally known that the in
flammable air in the country behind the
North-wall, called William-pit, had sud-
denly caught fire, carrying death and de-
struction to almost every living creature
within the range of its explosion. Six
men, two boys, three girls, and FIVE hor-
ses fell victims to the fury of the blast; 4
three more pitmen were SO severely
scorched and wounded that, we sincerely
regret to state, but faint hopes are enter
tanned of their recovery. This shocking
catastrophe, we know, from undoubted
authority, is not attributable to neglect or
want of judgment on the part of the stew
ards or overmen, but was occasioned sole
ly by the imprudence of one of the work
men, who, in order the more readily to
find pick which he had mislead, unfor-
tunately opened his safety-lamp; the poor
man lived long enough to acknowledge his
error, and to repent his temerity. The
unfortunate persons were inferred yester
