DEATH All Macedonia is in the power of the
Greeks, who followup and exterminate the
detached corps, which the Turks have there.
The English. government continues, in the
lonian Isles, to show itself extremely rigorous
towards every thing Grecian. They have ar
rested the Archbishop Maharas, who is devo

The Brussels papers say, the delay of Alex

tributed to the apprehension that his invasion
OF Turkey would be signal for the massacre
Of the Greeks, in those places of which the
Turks retain possession.

a-distlnSuished officer in the Indian war of ,q4-
and in the late war with Great Britain. and,
was severely wounded in both. He was an

Two out OF the twenty-seVen New-York men,
hers OF Congress, and of several members from,
Kentucky and Ohio, to whom his military ser
vices were well known. This was equally
honoarable in the Postmaster General and in,
those members of Congress, because they dis
regarded the circumstance that he is. and all
ways has been, federaiist.
But, as the reader already knows, or begins.
to anticipate, this appointment has called forth
the loudest denunciations from those who live
upon the aliment of party, land whose creed is,
that party name is the test of honesty, of
ability, and of patriotism. Indeed, this de-
nanciation was made in anticipation of the APP
pontment, for the purpose of lettering the
POSTMASTER General; and by men, too, whose,
high official stations, if not a recollection Of
personal character, ought to have forbid so,
unworthy a course.
When it was understood at Washington that
Gen. Van RENSSELAER, was to be appointed, the
Vice-Presidont of the United States. together
with Ra}as King /! and Mr. Van Buren,, sem
ators from New-York, endeavoured9 to per-
suade the Postmaster General to delay the
appointment until they could consult tie peo-
pie of Albany on the subject! To this he re-
Piled that it was important the vacancy should
be filed without delay but that the subject
was before the President, and, if it was his
pleasure that there should be any delay, it
should be granted. They then applied to the
President, who, in very courteous note, de-
clined interfering. Vice-President Tompkins
and MIR. Van Buren, then renewed their appli-
cation to the Postmaster General, for delay,
which was declined. They then very modest
ly nominated the late Chancellor lansing to
the office and, in a long letter, urged his APP
pointment upon party grounds, and opposed
that of Gen. Van RENSSELAER,, on the same
grounds, and more especially because he was
opposed to the republican" (Which means, in
Newly ork, 7Ompkintonian) party, in their eff
forts to remove Gov. Clinton and because he
had for that rcasO,s, been removed by the Leg
islature, from the Office Of Adjutant-G eneral Of

nit, a motion was made by Mr.. King, of New

Our fears daily increase. For the last weel,
we have been witnesses of the most dreadful
events. The government refuses to lend al,
ear TO the advice of the foreign ministers
The Austrian minister, who had, for fourteen
days in vain desired conference with the Reis
Efendi, on the last refusal, Immediately de-.
manded his passports, and by the means. as
well as by the intervention of the English Am
bassador, he at length obtained an audience.
Il which the English, French, and Prussian.
Ambassadors were also present; but they eff.
tected nothing, as the Sublime Porte explicitly
declared thatit never would grant TIE demands
OF Russia and thus war is inevitable.
The tokens of dreadful events already mani-
fest themselves. The venerable heads of the
unfortunate Callimachi have been exposed for
two days. and in every street, headless corpses
are found. Night and day we hear the firing
OF pistols, so that we can count the victims
who thus fall. The Government again pub,
lished a strict order yesterday, for every Mus
suiinan to have his arms in readiness. and be
prepared 10 march at the first summons. # is
even said the Sultan himself will take the
command Of his army ; mean while these
/ blood-thirsty people carry on war with the
Christians, who are the peaceable inhabitants
OF this capital.

The rumours which have been in circuIa-

most alarming aspect; the excuses aud assas-

the Diyan, and other authorities. and even the
efforts of foreign Ministers, who recommended
to the Porte more rigorous vigilance. I'M
