1t would appear from the French pa
pers, that Notwithstanding the Joy with
which the Ausfrians were received by
the Neapolitans, the former have suffer-
ed so much from assassination. that they
find it necessary to take measures to dis
arm the people; that Gaeta has not yet
surrendered; that bands of partisans are
forming at Ariano and that Sicily has de-
slared itself independent. A body Of
5000 Austrians have been sent from Ma
Piles to the Calabrias, and another Aus
trian division hasreceived orders to march
into the province of Bascilicata. In an
article from Vienna of the 9th, it appears
that the marching of troops for italy was
still continued, and that so few were left
in Austria, that the service of Vienna,
Lintz, and number of other cities was
discharged by the Civic Guard. Circum-
stances never could be more favourable
for the supposed designs of the Autocrai
of Russia on Turkey.

The Greeks have now formally rails
ed the standard of independence. They
have commenced bloody contest with
the Turks. The Greeks settled in
many cities Of Southern Russia, not on
ly in Odessa, but in Nicolojew, Sewos-
topol, &c. have fastened to join their
countrymen- Counsellor Speransky,
Governour General of Siberia, and
Prince Gallitzin, Military GOVERNOR of
Moscow, are arrived here. 1t is said
that several Of the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
of the interiour provinces of the En-
pire, will come here by the Empe-
rOur's order.

Several vessels which left CONSTANT
NOBLE on the Goth inst. and arrived at
Odessa on the 22d, brought the Prince
Suzzo, Caraggia, Kangerli, and others,
who had fled from that city, with news
that the whole capital was in motion,
and all the Greeks endeavouFing to es-
cape by sea. Above fifty families had
fled to the sea of Marmora. The no.
tel of the Russian minister was crowded
with persons who had placed themselves
under his protection Callimachi, Prince
of Wallachia, is said to have been be-
headed, because he had not informed
the Porte, in time, of the instruction !;
and Prince Morusi is said to have been
appointed in his room. Orders were
given to fit out the fleet, but sailors
could not be found, though seventy
piastres per month were offered.

The Ottoman Porte seems determin-
ed to display the greatest energy against
the Instruction of Wallachia and Mol
davia.
The standard of Mahonet and the
most revered insignia of the Musselmen

The Instruction in Moldavia and
Wallachia occupies greatly all minds in
this capital. 1t appears that the insur-
gent chiefs, having mutually concerted
matters, are already acting with their
respective forces. Theodore has march
ed upon the Danube to seize upon Nico-
poll. Prince Ypsilanti, on the contrary,
has taken the direction Of Hirsowa and
Silistria, in order to occupy the ports of
the Black Sea, and thus gain a commu-
nication with the Greeks of the Russian
provinces bordering on this sea. The
Greeks have, it is said, commenced their
movements in Bulgaria. Several of
Theodore's friends are gone into Ser
via, to distribute proclamations in that
quarter. 1t is confidently asserted that
Servian corps is already organized in
the vicinity of Nissa, and that troubles
have broken out in Macedonia.
The Massachusetts spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1821-1823, 1821-06-20

dering on me theatre of the rebellion,
only gaze rise to fresh alarm. Intelli-
gence soon succeeded that the insurrec-
ton had gained Bulgaria; that from
thence it was extending with the rapid
ity of lightning to almost all the prov
inces beyond Mount Balloons, and as far
as the Mediterranean shores. Already,
and even before the most feeble means
of defence could be concentrated, fear
painted the armies of Prince Ypsilanti
and Ali Pacha descending simultaneous
ly from the mountains, and operating
their junction in the centre of Romelia.
In word, such was the general dismay,
that it would have been thought that the
enemy had reached the gates of Con-
stantinople.
From the Typographical situation of
the provinces in which the insurgents
are posted, and the forces which the en-
pire can bring against them, we are far
from being reduced to extremities. AL
though it must be allowed that we are
but ill prepared to prosecute war in
the reyolted territory, it is at least hap
Ply for us that we have, in the capital
alone,- sufficient forces to resist any rash
enterprises which might be directed
against it. And if (which is not at all
probable) the insurgents were to estab-
fish themselves at Adrianople, and their
advance guard was posted half way from
that town to our capital, there is posi-
ton which, probably, they would not be
able to reduce. The angle which is
formed from the height of the seraglio,
and whose base is the tongue of land
which extends from Rodosto, on the Sea
of Marmora, to the Black Sea, presents
line which it would be difficult to
break through. Lastly-if the Greeks
were even to make themselves masters
of Constantinople, and attain the aim OF
all their efforts-were they to hoist
their flag on the walls of the Seven
Towers, and plant the cross on the
dome of st. Sophia-yet, unless they
had foreign aid, it would be easier to do
these things than to maintain them
when done.
/ But, if we are not deceived, their per-
lis and ours will be less formidable than
we at first had reason to anticipate.
Already, whilst in the lnteriour we are
preparing means of resistance and at
tack, we receive from without commu-
nications which have powerfully chang
ed our minds.

ed of the promised support of Russia,
have already lost half their forces new

From Patrasso. .Narci II.

The Caimacan, or Lieutenant OF the
Pacha of Peloponnesas, sent Yesterday
for the heads Of the Greek clergy, and
the principal Greek inhabitants, to sum
mon them to have all the Greek inhabit-
ants of this town disarmed The sight
of certain number of Greek vessels
gave him the more uneasiness. as a re-
port was generally circulated in PatrassO
and the environs, that these vessels had
just destroyed the part of the Turkish
feet laden with ammunition for the
troops employed against Ali Pacha. The
Greek inhabitants of Patrossa, firmly be-
ieving in the advantage. said to have
been gained by their countrymen over
the Turkish feet, positively refused to
deliver up their arms. Notwithstanding
the application made TO them for that
purpose by the Greek Bishop in the name
of the Caimacan, they answered only,
IS let them come and take them" At the
moment the letter was coming off, the
Foreign Consuls were terrifying them
selves in their houses, in the fear of a
serious engagement between the Turks
and the Greeks.

Persons worthy of credit affirm, that
the Musselmen, who inhabit districts of

The Pacha of the Morea, after having
with difficulty collected some Turkish
troops to march against Ali Pacha, has
passed through our neighbourhood to go
and meet the Suliots, who are in alliance
with ALI The latter has put his army
to the rout; and though he has offered
the sum of 60 francs per month to each
soldier who should offer himself, he has
not been able to recruit his army, which
IS in the most deplorable condition.

1000 ducats; smaller subscriptions have
also been made, amounting, in the whole,
to 100000 rubles. Onthe morning of the
26th of March, a considerable number
of Greek vessels, with heavy artillery,
| from all parts of the Archipelago, made
their appearance in the harbour of Con-
stantinople under the Russian flag. 1t is
affirmed that there were at least $4,000
armed Greeks in them. Their arrival
excited universal agitation, and the
Turkish government wished to exercise
with respect to them the right of vista

Minister, threatened to take his depar-

6 A great number Of the most dis

Letters were received yesterday from
Madrid, dated the 12th instant, mention
ing, that Sombrero Aria, leader of the
insurgent band in the vicinity of Burgos,
bad been taken with SO partisans, s of
whom were mounted, and the remainder
on foot. The Cortes and Government
were actively engaged in adopting meas
ures for the suppression of the mad at
tempts of disaffected and disappointed in
dividuals, whose nefarious projects of a
reaction disturb the tranquility of dis
tricts, though, from the fewness of their
numbers and the adherence with which
their treachery was viewed by the peo-
pie at large, nothing more than tempo
rary inconvenience was feared. The
lenitv, however, hitherto shown to the
guilty had rather proved an encourage
ment, and they had resolved to frame
an act, similar in its operations to martial
law, by which they could try and punish
similar offences in ten days.
The Certes have adopted what our
correspondent justly calls strong measures
They have decreed levy of 100000
men, and the creation of four armies, and
the appointment of a commission of FIVE
members to act with the Ministry during
the war. As soon as hestilities COM
mence, the Political Chiefs are to have
dictatorial power; and endeayours to
overturn the Constitution are to be tried
by Military Commission, of which the
sentence is to be carried into execution
within 81 hours, if approved of by the
Political Chief.

It appears certain that Corps of OBJ
servation, Of about 10000, is to be sent
to the frontiers of Wallachia. The reg
inents in garrison in Gallicia are march
ing in that direction. Every thing an
nounces that our whole army is about to
be put on the war footing, and that the
Landwehr will be charged with the
interior service. These extraordinary
measures lead TO the presumption, that
after the occupation Of Piedmont, there
will still be another enterprise for the
establishment of the tranquility of
Europe. is, they say, from Laybach
that the news on which these conjectures
were founded are derived.

POETRY.
[Fom tie Christian Obserusr.l

1t has often struck me that Palestine is emf
nently the land of pastoral poetry. In that de-
ightful country, flowing with milk and honey,
Astounding in rich landscapes, and blessed with
fertile soil, and where the people, at least in
the earlier stages of their history, enjoyed an
extraordinary share of political freedom, many
of the visions Of Arcadian fable were probably
realized. INDUCING in this train of thought.
it occurred to me that the custom which exist
ed among the young women of Israel of going
every year to the mountains, to bewail the
sacrifice of Jephthah's daughter, who, whatev-
er the commentators may say, it seems to me
was really sacrificed, would be good topick
for a Hebrew eclogue. send you the fruits
of few hours labour on the subject.
As Jephthah was a Gileadite, | have laid
the scene in G1ead and have, as you will
see, followed Warburton, in supposing that
the lsraelites had at that time no very clear
and fixed idea on the subject of future state.

say, perhaps, that "the times are hard,
that they can't afford to take Newspa-
per."--Now this, with nine-tenths who
make the excuse, is without founda-
tion.--Can't afford it? Why what a
trife it is. A small glass of gin, or a
pint of beer, which, as Corporal Trim
said, is "gone in moment will cost
more by thirty per cent. than News

Der, it is worth half its cost as wrapping

serve it.
A Newspaper is school in family
of children, worth TEN DOLLARS YEAR
Even the most barren paper brings
something new Children read or hear
the contents, become intelligent of the
affairs of the world, and acquire store
of useful knowledge of more impor-
lance to them in life, than present of
fifty acres of land. Parents are not
aware of the vast-we say with conf
dence, the cast Importance Of a News
paper in family of children. We have
made the remark before, and we repeat
it-that take two families of children,
equally smart, and both going to the
same school; let one of them have the
free use of the Newspaper, and let the
other be deprived Of the use of it, and
it would excite astomshrnent to mark
the difference between them. Full one
half, and an important half of education,
as it respects the business Of the world,
and the ability to rise and make ones
self respectable in it, is derived from
Newspapers. What parent would not
wish bis children to be respectable p
Who would be willing to have his neigh
bour's children more intelligent than his
own And yet, how trifing is the sum
a Paper costs 1t is, even in these hard
times, absolutely contemplate in a.
mount and no man ever felt it except in
its beneficial consequences, who paid the
subscription regularly once a year.
Truly we should suppose that if a
young man goes counting, and his
sweetheart finds out that he reads no
Newspapers, she would, if she thought
much Of herself, send him away, as
one uniformed of his political rights
