Such outrages on the common-sense, 

 feelings aud rights of mankind, can of 

 cmrse be attended with noperiuanent 

 success. Such events can serve but to 

 sharpen the poigniards by wliicb tyrants

TURKKY. 



An insui reclion of the Greeks against 

 the Turkish powers in Wallacliia, IJn.l- 

 garia, and Moldavia, has taken ])l;ue 

 of a most forij'.iduble nature. Prince 

 Alexander Ypsilanti (son of the former 

 Hosp'jdar of Moldavia,) is at its hc'id. 

 On Ihe'Glh of March Iw proceeded v.ith 

 ft nun;eroHS retinr.e of Arnriv.ts from 

 Jiessarabia to dassy : and announced 

 liimselfas the deliverer of the (ii-eeks 

 from the Turkish coverumi-nt. Pre- 

 vious to this step he issued numprous 

 proclamations calling np(m tlio Greeks 

 to assist him in t'lsir deliverance", and 

 statins that all Greece hid lighted up 

 the torcii of liberty, and broken the 

 yoke of tyranny. Accounts inform us 

 further, that Prince Yi>silanti lias ad- 

 vanced on the iMorca and Epirus ; that 

 (lie 'J'lirks are every where massacred ; 

 and that Ali Pacha and Ypsilanti are 

 ready tosup|»ort each other. 



Mucii blood has been shed in un- 

 availing nnissa'*rcs, in which religious 

 big<;try has had much influence.

 reports relative to the commotions in 

 Wallac.hia scarcely;ai)iieared of suflicicnt 

 consequence to engage (he attention of

those Mhich but too frequently desolate 

 our provinces: and (hat (he example 

 of about fifty villagesannihilated by fire 

 and massacre, and some hundred heads 

 of the rebels exj)osed o^er the gates of 

 the .Seraglio, would havesuilic ' ' i put 

 a term to the insiiii'n'clion. liui (he 

 news of (he revolt in Aioldav.ia has 

 thrown (he Por:e in(o consternation ; 

 the in (an( that the disj;atches were 

 received, which announced that the 

 so'isofan ex-Principal Dragoman, and 

 a former Has[iodar of Wallachi.i, and, 

 finally, Prince Yj)silaiifi, were at the 

 head of the ins\irrec(io'n, tlie divan was 

 extraordliiarily c(mvokcd : all (he dig- 

 nitaries of thf s;;;te weie summoned to 

 attend it, and fre juenf councils were 

 bflld (luring several successive days. 

 In the first mom^'uf of alarm, such <ie- 

 cisive measures were adopted as were 

 in the power of a government^ not in 

 the least prepared for such an event. 

 Tartars Mere di patched in all direc- 

 tions, with orders to the pachas of 

 (he provinces in Eunijic and Asia to 

 assemble and march, without delay, all 

 the troops th-y could muster ; (he ex- 

 pi-esses, however, which every instant 

 arrived from quarters bordering on (he 

 (heatre of the rebellion, only gave rise 

 to fi-fsh a'arm. Intelligence soon suc- 

 ceeded that (he iiisurj-ection had gained 

 Rulfuria : that from thence it was ex-, 

 tending with tin- rapidity of lightning 

 to almos( all (he provinces beyond 

 Mount IJalciir.s, and as far as the Medi- 

 terranean shores. 



The post of Jas<y onf^rms the intel- 

 ligence that Prince "b'psilanti has 

 marched against Roman and Fokschan 

 with 4,000 cliosen Arnauts; (hat 10,000 

 Greeks hnvc taken the same dii-ection, 

 and that ]H!mb;n's repair thither daily 

 from Bess^ar.ibia. The Prince has al- 

 ready a small corps of SOO men in uni- 

 form.
