caused all the Greeks that were N kis power TO
be beheaded. According TO letters from Zante,
the Greeks who are found along the road where
Ibrahim Pacha passes, are obliged to Zee into
the mountains, to avoid being murdered. On
| The 25lh of April. upwards of 1000 women and
! children were massaered. A great number
who had gone in the direction of the coast were
taken by the enemy's vessels; some succeeded
In getting TO Zan,e, from whence they were sent

The Augsburgh Gazette mentions report
al Constantinop!e, that the first measure which
will be taken by the Courts Of London, Paris,
and St Pe,evsburgh, in case the Porte perse-
veres in refusing to comply with their demands,
will be to prevent any Ottoman or Egyptian
troops being sen, 10 tie Mores or Lvadia, and
to stop the transport Of provisions or ammuni-
ton. The squadrons Of the three powers sta.
toned al Smyrna will be sufficient for this pri
mary measure, which will be followed by one
much more energetic on another side. The
Marquis de Ribeaupierre, ambassador Of Rus
sa, lives quite retired al his country house al
Bujakders, and seldom quits it.
a letter Of the G5th ult. from Stockholm,
says.--"We are assured tina, orders have been
given fora "a gun ship, Two frigatos, and some
light lessels, In be fitted out by the middle Of
June !, is conjectured that these vessels are
| to join the Russian squadron fitting out al Cron-
s,adt for the Mediterranean In The diplomatic
| circles il is said that England and Russia are
determined 10 settle the affairs of Greece and
compel the Porte 10 acknowledge the indepen-
dence Of that Inflated country, and the princi-
pal islands, such as Cyprus, Gambia, etc.
The Augsburgh Gazette contains intelligence
from Cons,antinople TO the l4th May, which
announces that the Diyan has in no degree
changed its resolutions with respect TO the pa
ci6cation Of Greece. The Porte rests upon the
principles Of legitimacy sanctioned by the Eu-
ropean powers al Congress, and the Gazette
adds.that the European Ministers are thereby
thrown into dilemma.
Extract Of private letter Of the llih ul,.
from Constanlinople:-"The Marquis de Ri
5eauperre has made known TO the Refs Efendi,
that even il the other Powers should abandon
the intention Of interfering in the affairs Of
Greece, the intervention Of Russia would never
theless take place. This declaration has made
deep impression on the Porte, and the impor
tant crisis is certainly at hand.''
According to letters Of the 5ih ultmo from
Smyrna, and Of April from Syra, several actions
have been fought under the walls OF Athens
since April %. Some batteries Of the besieg-
ers, and fortified tower in which there were
nearly 400 Turks, were taken ne ar Phaaris.-
The men in the tower would have capitulated,
but the Greeks refused to accept their Offer and
entering sword In hand, massacred almost all
Of them.
A letter of the 25th ult from Stockholm says;
"For the last ten days we have constantly had
a heat Of from 20 to 2ie (Reaumur)in the shade
Our porr is filled with vessels laden with corn
from the Baltic, and prices begin to decline
sensibly but if this heat lasts a few days more,

take the advantage thereof to push the prices
up."-Itis singular that at Stockholm the heat
should be so great, whilst at Paris we complain
of cold and bad weather.
The following is the formula Of the oath that
Lord Cochrane took before the National AS
sembly of Greece, at Trezcna, on the lth of
A pril:--"I swear 10 shed my blood if it be ne
cessarv, for the salvation Of the Greeks and not
to abandon them except they abandon them
selves"

Count d'Olala's negotiations al Paris for the

with his own hand to King Charles x, begging
him in the most urgent manner 10 consent to
