FRANCE. The frigates Vestdte and Con-
stance, sailed from Brest on the first of
June to rally off Algiers. Letters from
the latter place confirm the hostile inten-
tons of the Dey towards France.
Nearly all the national vessels at Toulon
were preparing for sea with the greatest
expedition. Various rumours were afeat
on the subiect.-The bombardment of AL
giers-the support of the negotiations of
Constantinople, and an attack on st. Do
mingo, were spoken of as the cause, but
nothing positive was known, even to the
naval commander himself.
| Arrangements have been made between
France and Mexico, which, {says Paris
paper,) are tantamount to an acknowledge
r.,errs &C Mexican Independence by France.
! SPAIN. n psivate letter dated Madrid,
June 4th, says :-"I'ne dissolution of the
army of observation on the Portuguese from

| GREECE. In a fortified convent, dedi-
Gated to st. Spiridion, a few hundred Turks
/ held out for long time with remarkable
courage. Atlength they offered to capitu-
late, which the Greeks refused. General
Church, however, struck with the resolute
manner IN which they defended themselves,
thought proper to grant them a capitulation
and free egress from the convent The
Greeks, nevertheless, having Just learned
that lbrahlm Pacha continued to murder
their wives and children without pity in the
Morea, fell upon the garrison as they were
going out, and in spite of the remonstran-
ces OF General Church, massacred them all.
The Augsburgh Gazette contains the
following intelligence, dated Trieste, Nav
y =" A vessel arrived here from Smyrna,
IN ten days, announces that Reschid Pacia,
enraged by the massacre of the garrison Of
st. Splridlon, has caused all the Greeks
that were in his power to lie beheaded.
According to letters from Zante, the
Greeks who are found along the road
where Ibrahim Pacha passes, are obliged
to flee into the mountains. to avoid being
murdered. On the 25th of April, upwards
Of 1000 women and children were massa-
cred. A great number who had gone in
the direction of the sea coast were taken
by the enemy's vessels; some succeeded in
getting to Zante, from whence they were
sent to Calamos."
A letterAof the 4th inst from Marseilles

veur, which the Greek Committee had

Quoted to Napoli, a fine corvette of Is
