numerous train of footmen in magnificent

TURKISH, GREEK, AND RUSSIAN
i AFFAIRS.
A correspondent, who has had the per
usal of receut files of Paris and London
papers has enabled us to furnish our rea
ders with the following account of the
posture of public concerns with respect to
European Turkey.
On the 19th of May last a Turkish
squadron, composed of one ship of 86
guns, three frigates of 36, and , two brig
antines of 12 guns, sailed from Constan
tinople for the Grecian Archipelago.
The squadron was to have been reinfor
ced in a few days by another ship of 86
guns, and a corvette of 26. This naval
force was placed uuder the command of
rear-admiral Tombek-Zade-Alv-Bev.
.Having passed the Dardanelles, the
Turkish squadron was fallen in with by
a Greek fleet of about 100 sail, in the vi
cinity of the Island of Tenedos, and driv
en within the castles of the Straits. On
this occasion, one of the Mahorneden
two deckers for fear it should fall into the
hands of the Greeks, was' by the crew
ran on shore and burnt. The Greek
fleet continued to lie off Tenedos, block
ading the Dardanelles, but not venturing
to enter fearing the battel ies of the cas
ties.
On the northern part of land at the en
trance of the Gulph of Lepanto, stands
the town of the same name, before which
about the middle of June last, lay a Greek
squadron of 23 sail; but no operations
that time. The Turks, oh the 22d of
they are generally in want of corn, and.
if not relieved in that particular may be
compelled to yield from famine. An at
tack was expected at Patrass from the
Greeks, in which event the bashaw had
notified the consuls there that he should
set fire to the few remaining houses and
retire to the fortress.
From the Gulph of Arcadia ,to the
mouth of the Gulf of Venice, off the wes
tern coast of the Morea and Greece prop
er, lie the Ionian Islands, which under
the name of the " United Ionian States,"
are governed by the British. The gov
ernment is exercised by a lord high com
missioner, and the laws, are enacted by a
senate and assembly, which form an Ion
ian parliament. By two acts of 'this Le
gislature, the one passed on the 27th of
March, and the other on the 5th of April,
of the present year, both published in the
London Morning Chronicle of the 24th
of July, it would appear that tlie spirit
of revolution prevaded even the inhabi
tants of these islands; whence it seems
that the British sway is not more palata
ble to the Greeks than of the Musselmen.
The former of these acts provides for
establishing a tribunal for the trial of
all persons accused of high treason, and
Other crimes against the state, and for
regulating the proceedings to be pursued
of such cases.' The offences to be tried
are 44 seditious speeches against the gov
ernment of the states, or defamation of
the lord high commissioner, and mera
bersof the senate & assemblv. The tri
bunal is in the nature of a court martial,
and the rules of its proceedings being ve
ry similar, and the time allowed the ac
cused for defence being as short as possi
ble. The act otjhe 5tb of April has
been expressley framed on account of
44 the state of agitation and uncertainty
now existing in the neighbouring coun
tries, and in consequence of the geograph
ical position of the Ionian Islands." The
first article, or section, gives to "the
president and regent in each of the isl
ands of Cephalonia, Zante, Santa Maura,
Ithaca, Cengo, and Paxo, the power,
whenever they think it necessary, to pro
claim martial law, in any part, district,
wiumJjC ui uicjc iiauu9 anu iu
carry it into immediate execution." The
second section authorizes the local go
or village of these islands
vernments, 44 whenever thev shall deem
muU or disorder, to send a body of. troops
to any particular place, and compel the
ranaoiianis 10 give uuaucis iu me troops,
and to levy and exact, in a summary
manner, from the place, district, city, or
village, the whole of the expense of pro
visions, and every other incidental charge, j
during the time the troops are employ
ed.'' Such are the consequences of Brit
ish authority and protection in the 44 Uni
ted Ionian States !" '
The outrages at Smyrna appear not
to have been countenanced by the Tur
kish officers ; but to have been the ef
fect of a phrenzied mob, acting from the
impulse of religious prejudicis and feel
ings of revenge. " '
We pass from Asia Minor, the Archi
palago, and the Ionian Sea, to Wallachia
and Moldavia.
Ypsilanti, who began his career in
Moldavia, was compelled to leave Jassy
in consequence of victories gained by the
Turks at Galaez and Dragascham. He
retreated upon Wallachia, fighting; and
the Greeks are represented to have ob
tained some advantages in the conflict of
Focsiang, a frontier town of that prov
ince, which, however could have availed
them but little, as on the 17th of June,
Y psilanli, after a defeat of his brother
Nicholas at Bevka, retired, with about
9,000 men, to the environs of Ribnik, in
the north part of Wallachia. In an ar
ticle from Vienna, under date of the 10th
of July, it is stated that letters worthy of
credit, of the 20th and 21st June from
Bucharest, mentioned that the Greeks
had sued for an amnesty, which the Tur
kish Pacha was willing to grant to all who
laid down their arras. Prince Cillima
cha, a Greek, and caimakan of the new
hospodar, was Governor of Bucharest in
Wallachia. This province has suffered
severelv. The losses of landholders on
ly are reckoned at fifty millions of dol
lars and the higher clergy, the men of
talents and of wealth, have been chiefly
massacred.
The revolutionary army was origin
ally composed of hetrogeneous raateri
rials; first, of the Greeks who assem
bled at Jassay, and at other points of
Moldavia, as soon as the hospedur had
declared for Ypsilanti ; secondly, of a
corps of Albanians, commanded by Ca
ininar Sawa, who joined Ypsilanti when
he entered : Wallachia ; and thirdly, of
theiPandours, who, as soon as their cir
Theodore had been put to death, like
wise united themselves to Ypsilanti. Af
ter the affair of Cragaschan, Camina Sa
wa entered into negociatious with the
Turks, and joined them with part of his
Albauians ; and when the Greeks lost
the'battle of Beyka, in which Nicholas
Ypsilanti had been nearly made prison
er, the remainder of the Albanians
and the Pandours likewise went over to
the' Turkish side.
Such are the accounts, collected from
French and English journals, to the lat
ter end of July last. The same papers
throw considerable light on the dispute
between the sublime Porte and the Rus-,
sian minister. '
The Russians have, according to con
vention stipulations with the Turks en
joyed the privilege of passing, in their
merchant vessels, with grain, from the
Black Sea, through the Dardanelles to the
Grecian Archipelago, the Turkish author
ities furnishing them, for that purpose,
with firmans or passports. The divan,
conceiving that the Greeks in the islands
and in the Morea would derive supplies
from the ports of the Black Sea, through
the medium of these Russian merchant
men, laid an embargo on vessels arriving
at the sea of Marmora from the coun
tries above it, and " particularly refused
passports to the Amiable Sophia, Capt.
Capella, and Camilla, Captain Ferault,
two Russian vessels, laden with wheat
and barley, and bound down the Straits
of Constantinople, Against this inter
ruption of the trade, especially of that
from Odessa, baron Strogonoff, the Rus
sian minister, sharply remonstrated : But
the: divan, presevering in their policy gave
hini no satisfactory answer. The Turks
assert, that the majority of foreign minis
ters at the Porte, including the British
ambassadors, recognise Vith more or less
reserve, the right of the Turkish govern
ment to enforce the embargo in question.
Baron Strogonoff, however, thought dif
ferently, and, on the 12lh of May, sent
in a harsh note to the sublime Porte, ac
cusing it of a flagrant breach of commer
cial conventions. This he followed up
with an order of the same date, addres
sed to the Russian chancery of commerce
a: Constantinople, in which after sta
ting the futility ot his efforts to bring the
Ottoman government to a sense of justice,
and that he had been compelled to lay
the fact before the Emperor of Russia, he
advices the masters and supercargoes of
vessels arriving and being refused pass
ports; to make protests and eater a xaem
orandum of losses sustained by the de-
. tention, with a view to future indemnifi-
; canon.
In the concluding paragraph of this or
der, the baron says, " as to the Russian
grain on! board of foreign vessels, and
foreign property on board of Russian ves
sels, you wiir follow the rule that the car
go is covered by the flag.." This is
worthy of particular notice, as a practi
cal illustration of the principle of the arm
ed neutrality of 1730, and 180oJ in botlj
of which the sovereign! of Russia was a
leading party. The principle, However,
has been; distinctly and forcibly opposed
by Great Britain ; but it is maintained,
where practicable by the U. States. V
Upon jthe intimation of this state of
things to the governor of Odessa, by Bar
on Strogonoff, an official notification was
issued from that place on the 6th of June,
to the Rpssian merchants at Odessa, in
forming them that the baron had advised
the Russian merchants established at
Constantinople to put their affairs provis
ionally in order, and to secure their propV
erty, so hat they might not be taken by
surprise ;by a government which! no lon
ger regarded any measures in its conduct.
Baron Strogonoff had previously leftsthe
Turkish metropolis for the country.
ms tetter to the government of Odessa is
dated at : Bujukdere, on the 29th
Under the head of Constantinop
of May.
June
the 12lhj it is said that the effecjs of the
baron hve been detained and that a
strict eye is kept upon him to prevent his
final departure. In the mean time, the
divan had despatched two couriers direct
ly to the Emperor Alexander j himself,
and their return, it is alleged, will decide
the important affair. Subsequent accounts,
which however require confirmation, men
tion a declaration of war by Russia.

The mortal remains of 44 Caroline op

-are now on their way to the tomb
of her fathers. Six and twenty years ago,
the Chronicler of that day, an noun ced,-
That Caroline of Brunswick,' the in
tended consort of the heir apparent to the
crown of England, full of youthful gaity
and joyful expectations, had sailed for
the land of her adoption, to receive and
confer on her approaching union as much
happiness as honor and wealth can im
part.. How striking the contrast, and to
what a train of melancholy reflections
does it give rise. What were her expec-
tationsonthe morning of life,
collected from her own words.

On . her
arrival at St. James7,' and in answer to
the glowing bursts of spontaneous loyalty
with which she was hailed, she said,
44 Believe me, I feel very happy and de
lighted to seethe good and brave people
of England the best nation upon eatth."
How soon this brilliant '.sun of early ex
pectation became overclouded, jt is not
necessary for us to tell, and as ilittle ne
cessary is it to say how, altera, course,
performed through storms- and troubles,
it set in a night of thick darkness. 1 he
heart that can contemplate this wreck of
human hopes, without emotion, is more
or less immoral.
Tuesday last'was the day appointed by
govern nient for the removal of her majes
ty's body from Brandenburgh louse.
Her executors and the officers of her
household, male and female, had pressed
most earnestly for the delay of a day or
two, in Order to make suitable
tions for the solemn ceremony,
prppata
but the
answer given to their applications,
was
that the resolution to remove the body on
that day was 4 irrevocable.' A wish,was
then expressed in the same quarter, that
the procession might be unattended by
militaryjas it was apprehended, and with
too much reason, as the event has proved,
that the most serious consequences might
arise from their presence ; but the reso
lution to place a guard of honor over the
Queen when 3he was dead, though no
such honor had been done to her when
living, was also irrevocable, and: in the
face of all warning and admonition, Lord
Liverpool, acting as he. averredj by di
rection of the King, sent soldiers to the
funeral. 1 The third ?nd last point urged
upon Ministers, was, that they would al
low thefuneral procession of this illustri
ous lady to pass through the city of Lon
don, which was the direct way to the
place of embarkation, in order that the
, and the great
might enjoy the
mournful gratification of paying a last
tribute of respect to the memory of their
departed Queen ; but this request, most
reasonable as it was, , was also refused,
and it Was determined to hurry the pro
cession through an obscure and circuitous
route, in opposition to the public will,
and for no other reason that can be dis
covered, but to shew that the same spi
rit of jealous apprehension, which bad
envied her Majesty every mark of public
honor and respect when living, was still
in active exercise, and pursuing her with
inabating rigor even to the tomb. Un
der these inauspicious circumstances, and
in opposition to a solemn protest made by
both the learned gentlemen named in her
Majesty's will as her executors, the body
was removed from Brandenburgh house
on Tuesday morning, and proceeded on
the preposterous route marked out by
ministers, attended by a body of soldiers.
The public feeling was strongly exci
ted by these posthumous indignities, and
as might have been foreseen, an attempt
was made by the assembled thousands to
direct the procession through the city of.
London, instead of skirting its extremi
ties. The first, effort made by the popu
lace was unsuccessful, but another attempt
to diverge was made by the undertaker,
and his train, at Hyde Park corner, and
in some degree with success. A consid
erable augmentation to the military, . both
horse and foot, was how made ; the popu
lace had also increased in number and in
confidence, and at Cumberland gatef
leading out of Hyde Pajk, into Oxford st.
a conflict arose, in which some lives were
lost, -and a number of persons were
wounded. The procession still kept on
its way down Edgeware road, towards
the suburbs, buf when they arrived op
posite Tottenham court road, all the out
lets, except those which led to the city
wer so completely blocked up by cartsf
waggons and other vehicles, that the far
ther, advance ot the procession was com
pletely arrested, and they were obliged to
pass down Drury Lane into the Strand,
and from ther.ee through the city of Lon
dort There was in the metropolis, we
believe, only one opinion about the con
duct of Ministers on this occasion. In
every quarter it was loudly condemned,
and even where there was a difference of
opinion as to their behaviour to the
Queen when living, their conduct towards
her in the last awful ceremony, called
down upon them universal reprobation.
The Qufen, peace be, with her depar
ted spirit, is now beyond the reach of the
shafts of her enemies. Up to the very
day that her remains quitted the shores
of Britain; 44 the brave people of Eng
land" justified the favorable opinion she
had expressed of them when she first
landed irt their country. In no other na
tion in Europe would so much constancy
and public devotion have been exhibited
toward one so incapable of cornering re
wards, and so persecuted by powerful en-,
emies; but justice requires that we should
add, and we make the admission) with
humiliation, that by no other ministers of
state in the world, those of George IV.
alone excepted, .would a princess so much
wronged, and of such distinguished mag-
nanimity, nave been overwhelmed ana
precipitated intdlhe grave by such an ac
cumulation of indignities and persecu
tions.
Contrary tp the dying request of the
Queen and the wishes of her legally ap
pointed executors, who were making suit
able preparations for her funeral, the go
verniiient appointed Mr Bailey conduc
tor of the luneral ceremony. On the
body of her Majesty being demanded of
the executors, Dr. Lushington spoke to
the following effect
" Sir George Nayler and Mr. Bailey,

long a journey ; : and also upon the dis
graceful conduct that has been persisted
in by; his Majesty's government (in such
direct opposition to the known will of her
late majesty) in forcing into the funeral
procession a great body of soldiers. I
