SMYRNA, March There has been
in the course of the last week, one
Greek killed, and three wounded. But
these assassinations, being partial and
confined to the soldiery, have not dis.
turoed the general tranquility which
the country continues to enjoy, because
the police is still the same. Guards
are stationed in all directions. We
have seen Turk intoxicated, who as
soon as ne was perceived by the guard
was Immediately seized, beaten in the
street, and conveyed to prison. Ano-
Their, a Candiote, was treated in the
same manner for firing a pistol in
the air, in the quarter belonging to the
Franks. The guard is armed. 1t was
forbidden that they should 60 armed;
but some wounds which they received
made it necessary for them to return
10 their arms.
With public guard to prevent dis
orders and to punish them, we hope
that those who are disposed to mischief
will not be able to elude their igilance,
and to turn their anger against inno-
cent individuals, who have done moth.
ING to excite it but whose industry ls
Of important service to the community,
and whose presence in the country, un.
der present circumstances, is a tacit ho-
maze to the equity of the sovereign,
aud To the authorities which represent
him
The neighbouring country and vii.
lagos also feel the effects Of levying and
passing of troops. Fears and alarms
have succeeded to the ira hquihty which
has been enjoyed. The Greeks keep
secluded, or shut themselves up IN
their houses, whenever the approach
of all officer is announced. Twelve
companies OF fifty men each have alrea.
dy departed but many desert on the
march.
