DUTCH MAIL  VIENNA, SEPTEMBER I. OTTOMAN EMPIRE. By the latest accounts from Co.ostantinople, of the 10th August, it appears that news had been received there from the Mores and Livadia, which state that the imperial troops had succeeded in driving the Insurgents from some districts of those provinces, and in restoring tranquillity there. The details are contained in the following " Extract from a Report of Alahomed Pachs, Governor of the Morea, to the Grand Vizier, of 231 July : " I inform your Excellency that I arrived before Livadia on the 234 of June, and encamped here with my army. The Rajas had murdered the greater pert of the Mossulmen in this province, violated their women, and made their families slaves. They leasisted in their rebellion, and when they learned that troops were advincing against theta, the Insurgents of the surrounding districts attired with those who formed their advanced posts in the Mores, and entrenched themselves in Livadia. To prevent the desolation of the country. and to treit them with moderation, I sent several flags of truce to diem. who summoned them to avoid the impending misfortune, and declared to them, that if they would submit they might expect security and pardon of what had passed from the Sublime Porte. " Without paying the slightest attention to this generous offer, the Insurgents agreed together that they would nut suffer themselves to be considered as Rajas for the future, and began a fire of cannon and musketry from the fort and entretichments. " Early in the morning the army drew up in three lines mud began the battle. Victory declared for the Mussuluten, and the greater part of the la. surgcnta were cut to pieces. Of those who remained, about 1,000 escaped into the fort, and 1,500 retreated with their arms into the houses. One or two of those houses were set on fire to make room for the van of the army, and, if necessary, to storm the place. A high wind suddenly arising spread the flames; the Insurgents who had fled into the houses were the victims, and almost the half of the large and handsome buildings was consumed, and it was with difficulty that those lying era the top of the mountain were saved. As the fire caught the house in which I myself was, I was obliged to remove to another. " On the day of my arrival before Livadia, is certain Captain thistle° had left the city and collected a band of rebels, a mile and a halt off. It was therefore necessary to take measu,es from hinderiog them from coining to the aid of the laaargents shut up in the fort. For this purpose I caused the tillage to be attacked with 2,000 men. The t oemy was entirely defeated, 150 dead and as many wounded remained on the field. When the enemy, shut up in the fort, saw that there was no deliverance for, them, they threw themselves in despair from die ramparts ; some were killrd, others dreadfully mutilated. Those that were still in the fortress begged for mercy fur themselves, their wives, and children, and it was granted them. " In this engagement there have perished in all above 3,000 of the enemy, partly by the sword and partly by the Armes. As the Koran says, • When thou host gained a victory over thy enemy, thou shalt pardou him, in order to wittily thy gratitude,' the remainder of the insurgents could reckon on the magnanimity and mildness of the Sublime Porte, which was iu fact shewn tossatdi thew wbeu the.), deduced their submission, and begged permission to return to their houses. A Bulul-Baschi was ordered for this purpose, with a detachment of troops to receive. theta in the castle, and to 'conduct them back to their dwelling.. This was done iu solemn procession, amidst the acclamations of the conquerors, carrying before them the standaids taken froin the rebels." At Smyrna tranquillity is restored. Scala Noma and Alytileue, on the contrary, were the theatre of the most sanguinary scenes. Near,Saloniclii there is likewise a bond of insurgents, which the I'acba of that town is ordered to thapene and destroy. The Turkish fleet lately seen off SIMMS, is said to have gone to Rhodes to join the squadron fined out by Mahoitict Ali, roclia of EgyiA, This  -:.•
