THE TURKS. GRE
AND RUSSIANS

s;a aud Turkey, haa been realized, although, II
what was SO confidently stated on this subject
had been true, we should have had something
positive on the subject BY this conveyance. The
latest Vienna accounts are Of the % of June.
They repeat the old story that the affair with
Turkey may he regarded as arranged. But adj
vices from Leipsic, day later, state, that the
accounts from the north are not pacific and it is
still believed there ,cW be icdr because il APP
pears inevitable" Amidst these contradictory
statements, it is in vain even to conjecture as to
what may be the result.
The accounts from Sores, Of the 18th Of Nav,
give terrible picture of the cruelties commit
ted bv the Turks at Agosto above 5000 chill
dren have been carried off from that place and
the neighborhood, to be brought up in the Ma
hometan reigon.-'rhe accounts from Sores say
also that the Pacha uniting his forces at
Nerca, in order to re-estabsh his communica-
ton with Chourschid Pacha, and 10 act in COM
mon against the Peloponnesus, which will be the
less difficult Larssa is still in the possession of
the Turks. The Greeks, sensible of the fate
that awaits them if they submit, prepare TO make
the most obstinate resistance. Those of Mace
donna have already retired into the deiles of
Mount Olympus. Odysseus, who commands in
Thessaly, has addressed his brethren in arms, and
acquainted them with the critical state Of affairs
easiness. Accounts from Italy of the beginning
OF June, say, that the Pacha of Scuari has con-
cuded an Alliance with the Montenegrins, the
oblecto of which is, not to allow any Turkish
troops TO enter the Northern part of Albania
This Pacha, who has been declared rebel of the
Porte, having to fight for his life, takes adyan-
tage OF the present favorable opportunity TO or
game considerable force. with which he pro-
poses to make vigorous resistance if he should
be attacked. A very remarkable circumstance
Is, that the Pacha of Scutari has considerable
sums at his disposal. which he draws from abroad.
This proves that he is supported bv some foreign
power, but the sources from which he derives
this money, can only be conjectured.
Sal nica, May Cur Governor is said to
have declared, that the Sultan has firmly resolved
not suffer in future any Christian TO exist in any
part of European Turkey Doubtful. All COM
merce here has ceased-the fertile plains of Sc
res are deserted and all the Greeks Bulgarians.
and other christians. have taken up arms, resoly-
ed to conquersor to die.
II is certain, that the Emperor of Russia will
not interfere in the affairs of the Creeks. 1t il
even said. that he has modified his ultimatum so
that the Porte may be able to dispose of its whole
force TO destroy the Greeks.
Smyrna. Nay 9.-The CAPTAIN PAcHA has
sent deputies TO Samos 10 offer pardon to the in
habitants. From II TO $4,000 OF the inhabitants
ofScio have taken refuge at Ipsara and HYDRA.
The Greeks have sent Prince LoeTHET1 to ITy-
cra. in irons, for disobedience of the orders of
Government of the Morea. Thirty Greek YES
sells were in Scio when the Turkish feet entered
the harbour. This fleet expects 4 reinforcement
from Constantnople. None but the houses of
European agents are left standing in Sco.
Frankfort. June l3.-The Greek fleet is al sea;
but we have not heard Of any of its operations.
There is no doubt that the Turks will make
general attack on the Greeks. in every quarter
where they are assailable The Pacha of Sa- 7
lonica has been reinforced by large body of
the Asiatics, which has enabled him to drive the
Greeks and Macedonians for twenty leagues
round his capital.
81. Petersburg, May 25.-There are a null
titude of British officers in the artillery of the
Turkish army on the Danube
BY thearriral Of the ship Cortes, Capt De
Cost, IN 80 DAYS from Liverpool, the editors of
the Commercial Advertiser have received Lon
don and Liverpool papers-the former to the 23d
of June and the latter to the 25th.
Rumour with ler hundred tongues was as
busy as ever relative to the negotiations be-
tween Russia and Turkey. Meanwhile, all the
accounts from Greece concsr in representing
the people of that oppressed country, as being
now threatened with determination. Turkey,
if released from apprehension of attack the
side of Russia and Austria will be enabled to d.
rect an overwhelming force against the Greeks,
beneath which theF must eventually succumb,
unless, saved by some miraculous interposition
of Providence.
M. Tstischefis now said to have left ST. Pc !
tersburg for Vienna, with the Emperor's unqual- \
flied acquiesceDcc in the terms of paciGcation,
on which the mediating powers have been 50
long engaged at Constantinople. At the same
time from other quarters il is stated that the G.
vacuation Of Moldavia and WalIachia vet ling
ers-the promise of the Turks has not been eff
fectivelv performed. For this, and other rea-
sons arising from experience of the Turkish
character, the certainty of peace is not admitted.
That present appearances render such an event
probable is not contradicted-but the possibility
that the Sultan may yet retrad, is strongly in
sisted upon.
IT is repeated that Congress Of Sovereigns
will be held the present season at Florence, but
donbted whether either Turkish or Greek Rep
resentatiyes will be admitted
