Extract Of a letter from Smy.na, dated N1y %.
"The nisfortunes of Scio continue daily
10 present new scenes more and more at
Ricling'-YOu must be on the spot to form
an idea OF the barbsrity of the Musselmen.
The wretcbed inhabitants of the Island,
who are still brought hither, Gil all the
kbans OF the bazaar, the ofee-houses, The
shops, The square, and market places OF
the city. They are all children, women.
and old men, weak and incapable of ma
king the least residence.
"A great number of these unfortunate.
have been ransomed by rich Greeks aud
some humane Franks, who however, have
met wi,b almost insuperable obstacles
in executing their pbilanthropic inten-
tons The Turkish Government nas de-
cared all christians, without distinction,
incapable OF ransoming prisoners, They
have not been able to exercise any bench
cence except through the agency of Turks
ard Jews.
"A merchant has purchased at low price
al Pickles, town situated at some dis
lance from Smyrna, the daughter of Maui
ToCorda 10 Parembli, a rich merchant,
with whom DO business. This woman
being pregnant, was. delivered of child,
which the merchant drowned, wished
Ia ransom the mother. He asked me 25,-
900 piastres. The father of this unhappy
lady was hanged with the hostages OF Chi
os OF whom he was Que. All these unfor-
tunate people were more than innocent
Being informed of the projects OF their
neIghbors, the Samians, they bad warned
the Porte two months before that the latter
were going to make an attempt upon Scio.
Our Oriental Spe clator pretends that four
Of these hostages, who were sent by the
Forte to induce the country people to &C
cept the amnesty, remained with the In
surgents This is false. 1t was only NJ.
Dgtoa, the Vice Consul, who went with
aClrcular, signed by the Archbishop Plato
ssd the other hostages, to appease the
peasants. Nay more, the relations OF
these hostages, who were al liberty IN the
Guy, on the arrival OF the Turkish fleet,
fastened to go on board the vessel OF the
Captain PaCha, and remove all suspicious
from the heads OF their families. How
was this conduct rewarded While the
hostages we're executed IN the fortress, the
captain ordered the others 10 be hanged
up on the yard-arm of the admiral's ship.
We learn from the prisoners whom We
Dave redeemed, that they were cruelty de-
ceIved by the promise and oatbs OF amnes-
~ with which the Turks accompanied
Tie hrmans announcing forgiveness from
the sultan, which were sent 10 them IN the
mountains where they had taken refuge
As soon as they descended into the plain
ana laid down their arms, these monsters
RlI upon them, and having massacred
part, dragged the rest into slavery.
M, Digecn, who also trusted to the
Woro OF the Captain PsCha. was the dupe
oil tins pretended Turkish amnesty, which
mas cost the life or liberty OF so many IN
nsppy christians, and ne is now lnconsOla-
bic att.
Our Oriental Spectator, speaks also
OF divisions between the Catholic and Or
nodox Greeks. This statement also is
false The truth is, that some agents en-
HeaVored to produce a division which was
Thought favorable to the political system
Oi The day. But their endeayors failed,
ana the Turks, in their persecution, make
no distinction between the two religions.
al ocIo the churches of the Catholics have
oeen Profaned and burnt as well as those
oSlthe Greeks. The church yards of both
nave also been proianed. Only the cha
Pei vi the Consulate mas been respected. !"
