PEsrE, May 93.--The pos, which arrived
yesterday from Constan;inople brings. no sa-
tistactory account of the state of that city
goth May.) The fury of the Turks had
abated since the deposition of the Vi1icr, but
there was still some fear of new excuses.
1.-THE Greeks in the prov inces should obtain
any fresh advantages, Il general massacre ofthc
Greeks residing AT COnstantinople seems inc
vitable Among the persons last executed
was brother of the last Charge d'Afiaires at
the Austrian Court, Mauroeni who was be-
headed.
The Greek inhabitants of Constantinople
are endeavoring as much as possible to escape
by night, and considerable number had sue
cecded. They so TO the Archipelago The
house of MIR. Fantainne, Counsellor of Lega-
ton to the Russian Embassy, had in fact
been plundered and burnt, but it appears to
have been by accident, since, according 10 the
latest accounts, the most friendly understand
ing prevailed between the Porte and the Rus
sian Ambassador, Baron Strogonoff, and the
latter had renewed the assurance of the strict
est neutrality on the part of Russia. For the
rest, there cannot be the slightest idea of an
nsurrection THE Greeks in the capital, they
being wholly destitute of arms.
The late Patriarch, who was SO UNANIMOUSLY
murdered, having, when he issued his anathe-
mas, caused the arms of the Greeks to be de-
manded from them, and delivered to the Sui
tan. The Sultan, of his own authority, an
pointed new Patriarch; but as the Porte
has hitherto left the right of election to the
superior Greek Clergy, reserving only the
right OF confirming the election, the new Pa
tfiarch was, under these circumstances, con
sldered by the Greek Christians to have been
forced upon them by the Infdcls.
/ Meantime, however, it is said, that the
newly appointed Patriarch died the next day
from the fright at his elevation, which took
place under the most inauspicious circum-
stances.
Accounts from Semiin of the god inst saw,
that report was spread at Belgrade that the
Turkish corps, beseging JOanniua, under the
command ofJassef Pacha, had been entirely
destroyed, and that Jassef himself was among
the killed. At the same time, we hear again
from various quarters of the murder of Ali
Facha, and the seizure of his treasures bv the
Greeks bat as this news has been spread
Tor these three weeks. and is not confirmed
by authentic intelligence, it must still be con-

VIENNA, May 23.-Nery important intelli-
gence has been received from Smyrna. Insm--
rections against the Turks have broken out in
various parts of Asia Minor which appear to
be connected with hostile occurrences in the
Morea. They have not been without much a.
larm at Smyrna for the safety OF several esta-
blishments, as very tumultuous scenes have
twice taken place II is even affirmed that
conflicts occurred in some OF the principal
streets of that extensive city but the details
are not given. Ii is also said that very serious
disorders have taken place in the island of Cy-
prus, the inhabitants of which have hitherto
been remarkable for their fidelity to the OF
toman Porte. According to assurances which
we have received, two foreign officers direct
the operations ofthe Greeks in the Morea. A
letter from Corfu announces that many En-
glish-enthusiasts in the cause of the Greeks
have enrolled themselves under their ban
ners. 1t is confirmed that the Arnauts have
deserted from the army of the Pacha Of Mo
rea TO the Greeks. This desertion has consi-
derably weakened the Pacla's force In fact, all
the troops in that quarter, with the exception
OF the Turkish, declare for the Insurgents.
