THE EAST-SVMPToMs OF WAR.
Eraraci Of a letter received by the Rhine, dated
"HAvRE, Feb. 90, 1928.
"The Grand Sultan has issued pro-
clamation, in which he refuses to ac-
knowledge the independence of Greece,
and calls upon all his subjects, civil and
religious, TO defend their rights and their
Country! "StiH zoe do not believe there

A letter of the 2ist says, the news
from Constantinoplo is confirmed on all
sides.
Letters had been received from Con-
stantinople to Jan. 1t was reported at
Constantinople, that the Count Capo d.
Istria had arrived in the Morea; and had
been proclaimed chief of the Greek
government, and that anew allied squad
ron, including some vessels OF the Ne
therlanss, had entered the Archipelago,
and was advancing towards the Darda-
nelles. This news had forced the Porte
from bis attitude of calmneas, to meas
ures of an opposite character. He had
given orders for closing the Bosphorus.
Several vessels of war had been sent to
reinforce those which were at anchor in
the channel.
A letter from Havre Of the 2lst Of
February, says, the news from Constan.
tinople is confirmed on all sides.
The new manifesto of the Porte was
received at Paris. The Journal des De-
bates not being able to publish the whole
in the paper Of the 2oth gives the fol-
lowing extract:
GAS it is evident that the pretence of
liberty in favor of the Greeks tends to
nothing less (Heayen protect us!} than
to make all the countries of Europe
and Asia when the Greeks are mixed
with the Mussulmans, fall into the hands
of the infdels, to put the Rajahs insen
sibly in the place of the Ottomans and
the Ottomans in the place of the Ra-
jahs; to convert perhaps our mosques
into churches, and TO make bells resound
from them, and in word easily and
promptly to annihilate Fslamism; neither
law, nor reason, nor policy, permit the
| acceptance of such propositions"
The proclamation enioins upon all the
public agents and functionaries, gene
raj armament. Preparations were maxi
ing for vigorous resistance. A hun.
dred thousand Kurds were said to be al
ready on their march and would arrive
in Europe by the end of March.
Another letter from Consiantinople
states that the Grand Seigner caused TO
! be arrested several Sciote Greeks, a
mong whom was the rich Realli, charg-
ed with having communications with the
insurgents, and had caused them to be
cast into the Bostandji Baschi. The
richest Greek merchants were alarmed
and fled, among whom was Dauesi, ban
ker of the Russian embassy, who has
already been once exiled to Asia. An
order was issued for all subjects of
France. England and Russia. to depart
for the Archipelago. The government
will tolerate them no longer. Some o.
ly of the most respectable remain under
the immediate protection of the Porte,
to liqudate the affairs of all, and hey ond
this no exception is admitted-no TO-
reign protection is admitted.
| A letter from Odessa, dated Jan. 81,
gives information from Constantinople
to the l4th. 1t was reported that Realli,
who had been imprisoned, had been
strangled, after two days o. torture. 1t
was inferred from this, he being native
of Scio, that the castle of Scio had fall
en- into the hands of the Greeks.
A letter from Smyrna, Of Jan a, states
that the city was much agitated in con-
formation from Constantinople, and that
the most considerable merchants had
embarked, and put their property in a
place of safety. The principal editor
of the Oriental Spectator, Mr.. Blanque,
had been arrested by order of the
French Consul, and with bis presses put
on board Of the Pomona, to be trans
ported to Toulon, for having inserted
in the SOOth number Of that Journal, a
very offensive article against the French
Government. The Punishment of Mr.
