. FORffiOlti INTELLIG • TURKEY. IMPERIAL. PROCLAMATIONT. ••; CoNSTAkTINOPLE, DEC. 4.—By the blessing of the t'ropbet, the formidable rebellion which threatened even the existence of our En - Tire, and the maintenance of its holy religion, has been terminated. The streets ef our capital were crowded with the carcases of the dead, Who expiated their crimes by the -scyme ter ; and the scaffold is yet reeking with the blood of the vic tims sacrificed to the justice of our cause. Ten thousand Janis saries suffered by the swords of our brae and loyal subjects, three thousand bled beneath the hands of the public executioner, and an equal number by the just laws of our sacred religion have been condemned to imprisonm,ant; until they are released from the torment of this world to succeed to the tortures of the next. • The blessed Prophet, who constantly watches over our wel fare, knows with what anguish we beheld this scene of horror and desolation. He knows that every Mussulman that fell gave a pang to our paternal heart ; but Justice, who never calls in vain when she dues demand satisfaction, must be obeyed, and to her dietzaes we bowed while the fatal sentence was pronoun ced. It was thus that the Divine Power exterminated those . who ventured to disturb our tranquillity, and from whom we have nothing to fear. On the love of our faithful people we shall always securely rely, to detect and expose those traitors who, unawed by this dreadful example , may still endeavour, by their insidious arts, to weaken that authority l which the blessed Prophet has confid ed in our hands. Peace being then restored to our Capital, his Sublime High. ness cannot avoid repeating his ardent wishes for the restora tion of tranquillity to his beloved subjects in the distant pro vinces ef his Empire. Terms were offered in our name to the Commander •of the Russian 'armies, which it was expected would meet with, immediate acceptance. But the hope was in vain. Late - SuccesA:s had' made our enemy haughty and un tractable, and although the whole of 'the province of Moldavia was offered to be ceded to Russia, and to be annexed to her kmpire, yet the proud and vain-glorious General rejected the 4iffer, an d insiated not only that Moldavia, but that the entire fertile province of Wallachia should he comprehended in the grant. Yet this was not 'all—the neutrality of Servia was not to be allowe4.l, and ahe,was - to be compelled as a separate power to treat wfth Russia,andfulf indemnity was to be granted under iier.tormer seditious treason . and impiety: ' • Thus circumstanced ow- faithful people will not he surprised, tlit.in our name the Ccirrunander-in-Chie4 'the Grand Vizier, Aiesitated.. He dispatched couriers to our capital, and in. return we commanded him' to break off the ncgociatiOn, and to act on the Offensive: Thee at length it was that our enendeslsepented ef their presumption, and under this fee liag t hey have again of fered.to, treat. If on any terms that are consistent with the Flo y of our Empire, the bleisings of iicate can be obtained, our dfArtE,wopk, wlodse jlter44 alone is our guide, may remain in the perfect ssurance that those blessings shall be secured to. them. .t o iigned) - - Isaauess, Reis Effendi." —' RUSSIA.

Lord MOIRA was of opinion, that as they were now assem bled, no other Lord had denied their right of voting by proxies; It could therefore serve no good purpose to enter the present reso lutions on their Journals. He was far from denying that advan tages might in instances attend the privilege of voting "by proxy, but the question bad already been decided, and the pre sent was a very unlit time for bringing the utility or inutility of Proxies under discussion ; he therefore moved that the House do adjourn: [Here notice was given, that a Message from the Commons was in v. citing to bring up the Regency Lill ; which Air.
