Massacre of a Spanish Crew and Passengers. —A Turkish galliot having put into a port in the island of Cyprus, on the 12 th of July last, sailed thence about a fortnight afterwards. There were some Greek sailors on board, who having had a dispute with the captain, conspired for his destruction. In the end the captain, and all the crew and passengers, excepting two Turkish sailors, were massacred. The Turks were both wounded, but during the mutiny contrived to conceal themselves. The mutineers, having accomplished their bloody—sixteen persons having been butchered—took to the boat. The Turkish survivors, thereupon navigated the vessel back to Cyprus and gave the information. Among those who were murdered, were Isidore Baguels, Procureur of Spain, six religueses —two young men of the first family at Jerusalem—a merchant of Alexandria, and two Jews.— N.Y. Com. Adv .
