The latest news from the Greeks is Of bet
ter character There was great energy and uni
on amongst the chiefs. Letters from Corfu of
the 9th June, from the Archbishop, state that
all the attempts Of Reschid Pacha to bring a.
bout an attack on Athens had been in vain.
The brave soldiers of Missolonghi joined 10 an
other corps, had attacked him at Cravari, where
| he wished to pass, and forced him to return to
Etolia, where he goes II is said 10 take his route
| for Thessaly, and Eastern Greece, which would
cost him march OF Is days.
A ship from Navarro arrived on the 5th Of
June al Genoa. 1t is stated positively that lb-
rahim, who had directed his course towards
| Tripolitza, had been beatenby the Greeks, and
forced 10 return to Patras. This news coming
from Turkish port, and being given by a
merchant, is most undoubtedly true. Coco
troni, with his army, covers the ruins Of Argos.
Nothing is positively known Of the taking of
Tripolilza.
GREEcE.--Corfu, June lS:--They write from
Cerigo, May 5th, that the Spczziots are eva

Undergraduates from Odessa Of June IS,
contain some new details on the late insurrec-
ton in Constantinople The Sultan has forbid
den any one, OH pain of death, to pronounce
the wor,.s nizam seaid, which signify the arm
ing Of troops in the European fashion, TO avoid
excitement; but this new measure was the cause
Of the revolt ofthe JanissarleS, who on the 10Th
and 18th, were completely defeated, driven
back into their barracks, and there burnt to the
number Of several thousands. The number OF
killed on both sides is estimated al 10000, and
the Aga Pacha is said to be among them. Con-
stantinople still resembles q camp. Several
quarters Of the city have been burnt, and the
Sultan taking advantage OF his victory, has or
dered executions under his own eyes, and re-
wards 10 the faithful among the Janissaries.---
His courage has finally conclliatcd to him the
favor Of the people.
The organization was with little noise, and
every thing appeared tranquil until the night
| Of the 18th, when the leaders of the JanSsaries
began their manGuvres; and al in the morn
ing the revolt was complete. The Janissaries
| had brought their cooking vessels to tie square
of the Atmedian, and overset them, to imply
that they would have nothing 10 do with the
Grand Seignior, and they refused provisions
They invited the Topschis 10 initiate their ex-
ample, bu, they refused, however, the Janissa-
ries continued their march towards the Serag-
Ito, threatening to depose Mahmoud and 10 pro-
claim his son.
At noon the Seraglio was invested; and then
the Canoniers of Topshis, who had come by
water from The arsenal with some faithful
troops, presented themssly.a at the avenues OF
the palace with cannon This surprised the
Janssarics, and made them hesitate; bur to-
wards evening they showed disposition TO
make an attack, when the Sultan arrived from
his summer retreat on the other side Of the Bos.
phorus, displayed the standard Of Mahomet.--
AT the same time criers mounted all he NINA
rets, and called on all faithful believers 10 as
semble round his hlghness. The ranks OF the
Janissaries began TO grow thinner, and the lop-
schs with their canon charged with case shot,
came out of the seraglio, and being backed by
the marine troops, made terrible carnage OF
the Janissaries, who retired TO their barracks to
the number Of about l2,oCO. There they hoped
they should be left in repose; but al near mid-
night the Sultan gave orders that they should
be attacked, snd the barracks set on fire. The
chiefs then gave themselves up as prisoners;
others were executed and fifty chiefs Of Ortas
were strangled.
On the 10th, the Aga Pacha continued his
prosecutions of the Janissaries who had escaped
and maintained their defence in some houses
A certain number however succeeded in escaping
to Adrianople On the l7th the arrest of Janis
saries opposed to the new system, who had COR
cealed themselves in the city was continued;
and harbouring them was forbidden on pain OF
death. The markets were opened The same
day the Aga Pacha was nominated Khan; 43
chiefs OF Janissaries received emplovments cor
responding with their ranks, as reward ior
their fidelity; and haiti scherlf OF his hlghness
erased the name of Janissary from the books OF
the empire.
On the 18th, the Sultan taking advantage oil
his success, had drums brought from Pera, TO
put into practice the European system; and inc
orders for the suppression OF the Janlssaries
were sent to all parts of the empire. The re-
suit is to be anxously looked Tor. 1t may De
that faithful Topshis will not every where be
found to act with decision.
