Accounts from Vienna, of the 10th of
June state, that the hope of peace daily
gains a lirmer footing.
GREECE AND TURKEY.
Letters from Constantinople of the
25th May, detail one cf those horrible
transactions which find no parallel in CO.
temporary barbarity, and which it would
require the strongest historical evidence
10 support as real occurrence of the
most savage ages. This sanguinary deed
is nothing else than the decapitation, by
the Government of the Porte, of 72
Greek merchants, some of them the
most respectable in the Levant, and all
of them of consequence among their
countrymen-without alleged crime
without the form of trial-without ain
insinuation of misconduct-b but merely
because, out of compassion for their
brethren in the Isle of Scio, they offered
themselves as hostages for their good
behaviour, and interposed between them
and the Turkish cimeter. The island
ers, driven, at length, to revolt by the
intolerable cruelties and humiliations to
which they were subjected, have been
massacred and exterminated and the
baIbarous despot, not satisfied with the
blood and torture of the principals who
rebelled, has sacrificed sat one fell
swooP," likewise, their generous unof-
Tending securities. Every drop of
Christian blood boils at the atrocity-
every spark of humanity is kindled to
Indignation at such authorized assasina-
tons.
What effect these fresh murders may
have on the unfinished negotiations be-
tween the powers of civilized Europe
and this barbarous government we can
not say but if we can believe state
ments III letter of a subsequent date,
orders have been sent TO the Turkish
frontier to delay the march of the troops
towards the centre till the feeling which
such conduct may excite in Russia is as
certained. The relations of some of
the victims of this bloody tragedy reside
in London, and received letters from
their deceased friends on the eve OF
their execution.
sENIIN, JUNE 3.
Letters from Bitogha of the 23d Nav
have been received at Belgrade, from
which it appears tina: CONSERVATION pre-
walls in that part of the country. The
Turks are advancing in great force to-
wards Larissa. The agents of the En-
glish are said to have succeeded 10 in
ducing the Suloits and Albanians to sub
init to Chourschid Pacha, who will soon
effect his junction with the Pacha Of
Salonichl, to march through Layidia
against the Morea. Decisive events may
therefore soon be expected in these
parts. Nothing but miracle can save
the Greeks, as affairs now stand 1t is
affirmed that the operations of the
Turks, both by sea and land, are direct
ed by English officers, and that they
have promised entirely to quelI the in
surrection of the Greeks before the ter
mination of the negotiation with Russia.
