laws and institutions so superior in our island even to those of the capital. When the news of the invasion of the imprudent Samiots first spread in Scio, the principal inhabitants waited on the Pacha to ap prize him of it-what was his answer? To send into the castle, as hostages, some more of these innocent men, and to trans port all the provisions out of the city into the citadel, not leaving any whatever for the poor inhabitants of the city, who were so numerous. A month after, when the Samiots landed, the Pacha sent some of the hostages, with several Turks, to prevail on the Samiots to evacuate the island; but they imprudently resolved to advance, and told these ministers of peace that they would sooner put them to death than do so. The Pacha then shut himself up in the castle with the military, taking with him all the hostages. It was understood that a number of the peasantry had joined the Samiots; they were in a manner forced to it, being apprehensive of the Samiots themselves, and they were only armed with sticks and staves. Eleven days after the Turkish fleet arrived at the island, and landed 15,000 soldiers, or rather assassins; who, joined by the 3000 in the castle, being unable to attack and defeat the 3000 Samiots, used their weapons against the innocent and disarmed inhabitants, and turned their fury against women and children, killing, burning, and taking in slavery all the inhabitants of the place. The men they slaughtered; the women and children they brutally treated, and huddled together in one of the large squares, which contained several hundred of the most respectable inhabitants. They have not left a stone upon a stone-all destroyed—all ruined. It would fill volumes to recount the different scenes of horror which the ruffians were guilty of: humanity shudders at it. But this universal desolation had not yet satisfied the bloodthirsty followers of Mohammed: they had heaped upon their trembling and tender victims all the bitterness of their fanaticism-ninety-five men, the first of their nation both as to character and property, men who had always followed the paths of rectitude in their commercial transactions, whose relations were established in almost every known commercial city in the known world, men innocent of any machinations against the Turkish government, and who could not, even if they would, have been participators in the rising of the island, since they had been fourteen months under the grasp of the Turkish Satrap. Ten of these were at Constantinople, the remain der at Scio. Lord Strangford made strenuous efforts to save them; neglected no remonstrances; evinced the greatest ardour in the cause of suffering innocence, and thought he had succeeded in sheltering them from their impending fate, having

obtained a promise from the Porte that no harm should be done them, when it suddenly gave orders for its execution; the ten in Constantinople were beheaded, and the eighty-five in Scio were hanged outside of the castle in that very square where so many of the slaves were placed, in sight of the Turkish fleet, who had their decks covered with Greek slaves. Oh, how the heart sickens at such refinement of cruelty, and turns with loathing and horror from that hell-born malice that could take delight in deriding the mental agony of the innocent sufferers in this tragic scene! What a number of wives were forced to be spectators of the crnel death of the husbands of their affections; to see, at the same time, their suckling babes torn from their breasts!

Thus bereft at once of their support and hopes, many, driven to despair by this barbarous usage, threw themselves into the sea; others stabbed themselves, to prevent the loss of bonourto them worse than death, to which they were every moment exposed from the barbarians.

"But, alas! let us draw a veil upon those who have thus sunk untimely into the grave; let us not harrow up your souls with the recitals of these atrocities: their sufferings are over, and their felicity, let us hope, begun. It is now time to turn your sympathy towards the unfortunate survivors of the general wreck: to call, dear countrymen, your attention to the miserable naked state of thousands of our Sciots, with which the markets here at Smyrna and Scio are glutted. Picture to yourselves children of the tenderest age, till now nursed with the most delicate at tention, now driven about with only a piece of cloth round their infantine limbs, without shoes or any other covering, having nothing to live upon but a piece of bread thrown to them by their inhuman keepers, ill-treated by them; sold from one to the other; and all in this deplorable situation exposed to be brought up in the Mahometan religion, and lose sight of the precepts of our holy religion. We see all this: yet, alas! what can we do here, reduced to three or four, who, if found out, would also be exterminated, without mercy? What we could do, we have done: but how little, among so many claimants to our charity! You, brothers, friends, and countrymen, are in the capital of England, the centre of philanthropy, who live among a people always famed for their generous feeling towards the unfortunate-for their dislike to tyranny, and their support of the oppressed. Beg, pray, intreat, appeal to their feelings, call upon them as Britons, as men, as fellow-beings. It is in the cause of humanity and religion. They cannot, will not, be deaf to your prayers and exertions. They will afford us, as far as lies in their power, the means of redeeming the captive,

captive, of aiding those families that are in a state of nudity and starvation, who will soon arrive in almost every port of the Mediterranean, when they have been enabled to flee from a yoke worse than death. We rely upon your endeavours, and still more upon the high character of the nation among whom you inhabit. Thousands of hands are raised towards you to claim your interference in behalf of your oppressed countrymen. Thousands of hearts will feel grateful for your assistance. Brethren and countrymen, exert yourselves in behalf of humanity. With tearful eye we cordially salute you, and beg you will pray to God for our safety.

66 YOUR BROTHERS AND COUNTRYMEN."

Yet, at such a crisis, the Emperor Alexander, on whom the hopes of the Greeks and of civilized Europe had been fixed, has compromised with the barbarians, allowing them to occupy Moldavia and Wallachia, and leaving the Greeks to the mercy of the desolators of Scio. Despair, however, maddens the Greeks; and, by the last accounts, they had obtained some signal advantages over the Turks,-it is even reported that the fleet of the Capitan Pacha is destroyed.

MEXICO.

It is confirmed, that the states of Mexico have conferred the title and power of Emperor on Iturbibe, the favourite popular commander; and it seems he is too weak to act the glorious parts of Washington, Bolivar, and St. Martin, and has accepted it, but under a limited constitution.

HINDOOSTAN.

Hopes are entertained that the nobleman who has proved himself so capable of consolidating these vast provinces, by the influence of his wisdom and moderation, will continue in his government. At least, though a

successor has been nominated in Mr. George Canning, yet nothing transpires in regard to the return of one, or the departure of the other. We wish only to see the Marquis of Hastings in situations where he can pursue his own uncontrolled and beneficent policy. When circumstances permit this at home, we then, and then only, hope to see him at the head of an

administration.

8. Mrs. Wright tried in the Court of King's Bench for vending two alledged libels, in two of Mr. Carlile's pamphlets.

hensive inscription:-"This cup is presented to John Thelwall, of Brixton, esq. by his fellow-parishioners, as a tribute in acknowledgment of his transcendant ta lents, and in approbation of his great services in the cause of civil liberty. Seeing that, although harassed by persecution, and menaced with death, neither deluded by the smiles, nor dismayed by the frowns of power, he has evinced a rare political consistency throughout a long life, worthy the imitation of posterity."-We cheerfully add our testimony to these just sentiments.

18. A ridiculous naked statue of Achilles was this day set up in Hyde Park, by some sycophantic court ladies, to com. memorate the successes of the late ruinous wars against European liberty. It seems the people of this devoted country have not yet suffered enough!

-20.-This evening Dr. Percy Josce. lyn, the Right Rev. Bishop of Clogher, was discovered in an infamous and criminal connexion with a soldier, in the back parlour of a public-house, in St. Alban's-place. He was admitted to bail for 1000l. by Dyer the magistrate; but his confederate, the soldier, was committed. The newspapers in general suppressed the information, but it was detailed in the Observer, and more fully in the Statesman. It may be regarded as a species of moral earthquake, for a natural one could not have created a greater sensation. Hor. rible, too, it is to relate, that a man in Ireland was lately publicly whipped, with special severity, for charging the same offence on this Bishop.

Same day. The premises of Messrs. Astor and Co. musical-instrument makers, in Tottenham-street, were entirely consumed by fire.

-22.-The proprietor of Blackwood's Magazine was this day convicted, at Edinburgh, of publishing a series of libels on Professor Leslie.-Damagės 100l.

-25.-In the House of Commons, this day, Mr. Hume brought forward a series of able resolutions respecting the Sinking Fund, and, after an elaborate speech, in which he maintained “that public credit would have been much more substantially kept up by confining the system to loans, and abandoning the Sinking Fund altogether," he moved his first resolution, which was negatived.

In Hyde-street, Bloomsbury, 47, John Emery, esq. of Covent Garden Theatre. He was born at Sunderland, Durham, ins 1777, and was educated at Ecclesfield, in the West Riding of Yorkshire, where he acquired that knowledge of the dialect which obtained for him so much celebrity. He may be said to have been born an actor, both his parents having followed that occupation with some degree of provincial fame. His father designed him for the orchestra; but, aspiring to the honours of the stage, he laid aside the fiddle for the notes of dramatic applause, which he obtained on his first appearance in Crazy, (Peeping Tom,) at the Brighton Theatre. He afterwards joined the York company, under the eccentric Tate Wilkinson, who spoke of him as "a great actor;" which opinion was confirmed by a London audience, on his first appearance at Covent Gar den Theatre in the year 1798, on which occasion he selected the very opposite cha racters of Frank Oatland, in A Cure for the Heart-Ache, and Lovegold, in the farce of the Miser, in both of which parts he obtained great applause. The superior talents of this gentleman as an actor were universally admired by all lovers of the drama. In his own immediate line of acting, viz. the Yorkshire rustic, he was without an equal. He possessed excellent natural abilities, was a good musician, and a tolerable artist. To his duty in his profession he was most strictly attentive; so much so, that when dining in public, or in the society of his friends, and the time drew near for his attendance at the

theatre,
