RUSSIA AND TURKEY.
| In the London Courier of the llth
there is letter from Constantinople re-
ceived at Lloyd's, dated as far back as
June the 10Th, in which it is stated that
dispatches had been receiyedfrom Odes-
sa, "of highly satisfactory nature,"
and that the evacuation of the province
is gradually taking place, and it is ex-
pected the Princes will be named soon
after the Byram." A Vienna article,
from the French papers, dated June 22d,
adds owe expect declaration from
the Emperor OF Russia by which he will
entirely detach himself from the Greek
cause. From the date of these articles
it seems pretty evident that the pacific
rumors which they contain, are mere
repetition Of statements, which were made
previous to the recent massacres OF the
Turks having comet to the knowledge OF
the Russian cabinet.
All accounts agreo in stating that since
these horrible occurrences had transplr-
! ed, the views of Alexander had under
gone an entire change as to the Greeks.
In the liverpool Mercury of'i2th July,
(the lates, paper received) it is stated
that letters from Odessa positively af-
firm, T" that Russia has retracted her de-
mand that Wallachia and Moldava
should be entirely evacuated, in conse-
quence Of a representation made by the
Divan, that if all the Ottoman troops
were withdrawn, new Instructions would
break oul in those principali,ies. Adj
vices from Bucharest dated 9Th ult. con-
tanned in these journals, are confimatory
of the above intelligence. They state
that not only has the retrograde march of
the troops been stayed; but that Rajah
pacha had caused to be proclaimed in
all public places that Wallachia should
. continue to be occupied by an armed
force.
| THE GREEKS.
The hostile fleets oil Greece and Tur-
key, are stated to have been in statu QUO
when the last adyices came away. Il
was thought that the captain pacha was
only waiting the arrival of a reinforce
ment from Egypt, TO proceed in attack :
ing the Greek islands, and reducing
them at the same condition as Scio. We
trust, however, that the presence of the
Patriot fleet, WILDE sufficient to prevent
the carrying this sanguinary measure
into effect. Dispatches had been receiv-
ed at Trieste from Sir Robert Matt land,
giving an account Of battle Of three
days continuance, which had been fought
between the Turks and Suliots, in which
the followers of Mahomed were defeat
ed with considerable loss. Six hundred
| Musselmen among whom were so emf
nent Turks, were taken prisoners, and
the ransom of the latter, fixed at FIVE
hundred purses. Such perseverance
and bravery, deserves better fate than
that which the il" legitimates," OF Europe
seem disposed to assign to the Greek
patriots.
FRANCE.
A new conspiracy, having for its Oh :
,ect the overthrow OF the Bourbon dynas-
,y, has been discovered in Franc e.-The
MonitedrTeluctantly admits the fact, and
has attempted to show that the occurren-
ces which had taken place were OF a
,riiling nature. Among these VIC have
the acknowledgment, that the cry OF
Vice pEmpereur, had been raised by a
military officer, in which he was joined
by number ofother officers, who hest.
ta,ed not to unite with the division which
he commanded. This was certainly no
"triiling" matter.
GREAT BRITAIN.
In the British House of Lords the
corn importation bill was read a third
time, and passed. Mr.. Wcston's reso.
lutions, relating to Agriculture, &c.
were negatived in the House of Com
mons without a division. The Sd OF
August was fixed as the day for pro-
roguing Parliament, when the King was
to attend in person.
The Duke Of Bedford, and Lord Lii
liverpool, who had been both sick, were
getting better. Two new Irish Dukes
were expected to be created at the close
Of the session OF Parliament,
No abatement had taken place in the
disiresses which afflicted Ireland. Some
had died Of starvation, and the fever hos
pitals in certain districts, were bad. In
one county, Mayo, l55 900 persons were
4 soliciting public charity.
