Llockaded the ports where the Turks
were fortified, and gave life to the Pat
RIA &use, 10 every quarter.
While the revolution was thus spread
ing in Greece, it was almost wholly
crushed in Wallachia and MoIdavia
When the resolutions of the Emperor of
Russia were made known Ly the Russian
Consul at Jassy, counter revolution
was effected. and Prince Suzzo fled from
the proyince.--Ypsilanti marched to
Bucharest, but could come to no under
standing with Theodore, whose move
ment had been purely accidental, and
who had no sympathy with the Greeks.
After four days conference, they separ-
ated. Turkish armies entered Walla-
CHA; Theodore tried to make terms
with one OF the Pachas. His overiures
were rejected, and he then, deserted by
most Of his followers, Aed to Ypsilanti
YpsilanIp put him under arrest, tried him
by Court Martial, and shot him. These
events brought dissentions into his way,
apd prepared for an inauspicious result.
Meantime, the rage of the Turks at
Coastantinople was raised to the high
Jest, by the news which poured in from
all quarters, The Grand Vizier was
displaced for want of energy, and Ben
derli-Ali-Pacha, then in Asia, was called
to the post. Benderli, with host of
Asiatic Turks, put himself in motion; on
the 2lst of April he entered CONSTANT
nople. The next day was Easter, the
great festival of the Greek church and
on that day, the patriarch Gregory was
torn from the altar, where he was offici-
ating, and hung the door of the patri-
archal palace. His crime was .shaving
known and not having suppressed the
rebellion in the Morea - His body was
dragged about the streets by Jews and
thrown into the Bosphorus. On the same
day the Bishop of Ephesus and two 9TH
er Prelates, and some of the most con-
siderable Greeks, were hung from the
windows Of their houses. In ten days
the new Grand Vizjer was deposed and
banished, but by the Glamour of The pop
ulace his Punishment was conamuted into
decapitation. deputatlon Of three Jan
nissaries was admitted TO permanent
seat in the divan, and the whole male
population of the Ottoman empire called
upon by solemn proclamation of the Sui
tan, "to relinquish the life of the cities,
to mount, to resume the life of the field,
The life of their ancestors"
Witnessing the march Of troops to
Wallachia aud Moldavia, contrary to the
stipulations of the treaties between Rus
STA and the Porte the indiscriminate
slaughter of Christians; the destruction
of churches, and the murder of the Pa
triarch, the Russian minister remonstra-
ted warmly with the Porte aud demand
ed satisfaction. The replies of the Refs
Eifendi were unsatisfactory; Baron Stro-
gonof repeated them, allowed the Porte
eight days to reply i; no reply was re-
turned, and the minister departed from
Constantinople. On the day of his de-
parture, an answer was sent him by the
Refs Efendi, dated back on the last OF
the eight days.-Baron Strogonoff refus-
ed 10 open il, but sent it to his court al
st. Petersburgh. Thus the negotiation
was hereafter carried on between Con-
stantinople and Petersburgh, with ex
IRENE delay-the Turks gained time
and on this, as every other point, they
manifestly outgeneralied the Russian
minister. The difficulty was, that Aus
tria aud England would not permit Rus
sia 10 engage in war.-The Russians
collected an army of 10000 men in
Bessarabia, province separated from
MoIdayia by the river Pruih, and here
their interference ended. The Turkish
armies in Wallachia met and destroyed
fhas.of Tpsilanti. on the 10Th Of June,
and Ypsilanti himself escaped with diff
Guilty into The Austrian territory, where
I, he, was Immediately seized and thrown
into the castle of .Montgatz, and IS there
confined to this day. But though all reg
lllar Instruction was thus crushed, the
dispersed partizans of Y psilant, brigands
stimulated by Ali .Pacha, adventures Of
all kinds, pro6ted Of the state of the
provinces, kept up warfare from the
mountains, aud gave full employmen:
the rest of the season, 10 a Turkish ar
my of $4,000 men.
In now tn?ning our attention to the
incidents of the war in Greece, yer,
iinperfectsketch only be made. The
revolt having simultaneously taken
place, in four or five different provin-
ces, it was obviously impossible for Chur-
shid, who commanded in chief in Rome
liza, 10 undertake any one powerful ex-
petition, especially as he had the siege
ofAli Pacha TO press. He, however.
