AUGSBURG, FEB. 17.—Our Universal Gatette contains a very long letter, written from Constantinople, Jan. IC, by an European, whO has undertaken to draw a picture of the last campaign, and to explain the causes of the principal events. We remark the following passages in this very diffuse letter :  ' The Turks are so ill acquainted with the enemies they have to combat, that the Divan, and even the Sultan thinks it is sufficient to give rigorous orders every week to the Pachas employed against the Greeks, to put an end to this terrible war. The unfortunate Pachas, responsible for the success, are in continual alarms ; threatened on the one hand by the fatal bowstring, on the other with the sabres of their troops, who revolt if their pay is a day in arrear. The little money sent by the Government is ' stopped in the hands of the Contractors and the Treasurers, and the soldier i$ starving. Thus the Paella of Scutari, who was commanded to conquer the Morea, has retreated with disgrace to ;his Government, with a remnant of a few hundred ' men. his fate is not doubtful ; but what pledge of success remains for the unhappy slaves of the Sultan who will come to succeed hiM-1 ee Patras cannot hold out. Coron tend Modon are probably already in the hands of the Greeks. It is certain that the flotilla of the ferocious Aboulobut has fallen into their hands. 'rho insurgents want, only money. They will loom receive it from gngland. They also depend on powerful assistance in men and ammunition. The ' English display an excessive zeal, and conceal it so little, that the Divan has complained to Lord Strangford. approaching re-establishment -.Alta excites, in an extraordinary degree, the courage of-altthe Christians. ‘ The of thei le Owsrdoef r o the M It seems that the island of Candle is destined to b chief fiseeast of that illustrious Order, which was at the terror of the Crescent." e the all times  Hunt has been double ironed at Woolwich since the Sunday before last. Upon that_ day, when he and the other convicts were in die chapel of the, vessel where he has been confined, there was some little delay onnethepd soartmoe of hisbrethren of the elergym ; Hunt began to hum a tune, called out to him for the song which an he had sang for Mrs. Probert immediately after the murder. Without hesitation, he bean to sing the first part of the duet of " All's Well," and was vehemently applauded by his when depraved congregation.lThesuperintend an t, however upon hearing of the circumstance, ordered Hunt to be double ironed, and in that condition he now remains. A gentleman, who was aNcaqvuyaicnotiredeet_vhitohusheimin st.m hin ert Iva,sB proprietor of the Army and -lane, went to Woolwich to ascertain whether the public report, that he was as full of levity and carlessness as before the murder had taken place, was true. Hunt held out his hand to his visitor, but the honour was declined, and Hunt laughed at what he called " being so d--d particular." " You could not expect," said the visitor, " that I came here as an acquaintance of yours : I can't shake hands with so dreadful *a character." Hunt said he had not done the trick, "it was Jack and Bill, and they did it together, I'm sure. I'd swear that they were both together when the man was murdered." Some conversation then took place about the execution of John Thurtell, and Hint said," D—n his eyes, Jack ought to Lave been hanged long ago. He has silenced many a man; why, he disposed of three or four in the house at Manchester-buildings.' It has been erroneously stated that Hunt's hair and whiskers had been cut off upon his departure from Herford to the hulks. He has a great bush of hair, and a tremendous pair of whiskers. He is very unwilling to work, and, when not much fatigued, sings as he labours.
