presents something of interest, in relation
to the affairs Of Turkey, and its proyin-
ces in Greece. The barbarities committed
in the metropolis, and other parts of ti,e
empire, against the unof4ending christians,
have at length aroused the indignation Of
the Russian and Austrian governments,

them to cocrce the ruling power of Tur-
key, 70 a more moderate and reasonable
