The Honourable Member, in a long speeelli enumerated the various acts of oppression under which, he contended, the lonians laboured ; obse", ing, that his statements were partly the result • actual observation during a residence in the 140'4 and partly of the communications which be had 1► ceived from them since that period. The speech cc* chided with a Motion for a Commission to pro to the lonian Islands, for the purpose of into the conduct of Sir THOMAS MAITLAND, the High Commissioner, and the general state of the Goer' ment of the Island. The Motion was opposed bi Mr. GOULBURN ; and after several other Gentleeo had delivered their sentiments, most of whom eal°' gized the character of the gallant General, the Hoot divided :—Ayes, 27—Noes, 97. The Motion wah therefore, negatived by 70.  Intelligence has been received from the Palo Islands to the 9th of :%lay, at which time the puma  tranquillity prevailed. The accounts from Patras are to the 3d o May. The PACHA of NEGROPONTZ had arrived there with a Turkish force, and taken entire possession of the town, after putting to death or to flight the whole of the Greek population.— Reinforcements of Turkish troops were arriving from Ro neha and other provinces, against which the Greeks had no means of defending themselves; but their vessels were everywhere annoying the Turkish trade.  The Paris Papers of Tuesday arrived this forenoon. The Emperor and Empress of AUSIRIA arrived, on the 24th of May, at their Palace of Schoenbrunn, from Laybach. _  At Vienna there has appeared a Manifesto in modern Greek, addressed to the Courts of Europe, by PIERRE MA UROM FCHALY, who calls himself Generalissimo of the Spurt/ate :hacks, and the Friend of his People, and by the Council of Messcniens, at Katamata. 'Phis Manifesto is dated from the Spar'Lite camp, 25th March (6th April, old style), 1821. The contents of this document are not given. According to the accounts current at Vienna on the 25th of May, the fury of the Turks at Constantinople was such that the Foreign Ambassadors no longer found themselves in safety in that capital. —Lately, a great number of Greeks, of the lower order, had been massacred before the Hotel of the Russian Ambassador; and, on his refusal to deliver to the populace a Greek family to whom he had granted an asylum, the furious populace threatenea to force the Ambassador's Hotel. M. Strogonoff conducted himself on this occasion with equal dignity and resolution. Accompanied by all the persons attached to the Embassy, he appeared on the balcony of the Ilotel, and declared, by means of his Interpreter, to the sanguinary multitude, that he wont.' consider as a declaration of war against his Sovereign the least attempt to offer viricnce, and that he would instantly take the steps becoming him in such a situation. This vigorous conduct was not IA ithout its elec. The Turks immediately abandoned their sanguinary project. An article from Constantinople, of the 2d of May. says—" We are just beginning to experience a relief from indiscriminate massacre; but legal murder still desolates the Greek quarters, and threatens the total destruction of their population. The Porte, however, begii.s to be alarmed at its own measures; and the execution of Prince Moaust„ who enjoyed in a high degree the confidence of the People, has excited 'an unexpected indignation. It was for the purpose of recovering some slight degree of credit that the.Stmne depo.ect the new Vizier, BENDULI, after ten days' enjoyment of office, dining which he had committed the most horrid atrocities."
