FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. The Cimstibaio»ncl contains a long article, dated Hamburgh, 6th April, respecting the negotiations said to be on foot bet Ween England and Denmark, for the exchange of all the islands of Denmark, being Sealand, Funen, &c. and the Peninsula of . Jutland ' as far as the river Eitker, against the king. don of Hanover; t ngtand would take upon Ida* t.i: LLnish debts, the desire of commanding the cntrenee of the Ealtic, and thus having an effectiml check on the commerce of Russia; and secondly the possibility of the separation of the Crown of Hanover trent that of Englund, in case the latter should de volve to a female, are stated as the motives of Eng land for seeking this excharv-. Faasstroper, APRIL 9 —lt is affirmed that the Kingef England and the Archduchess Maria Louisa, Duchess of Parma, are expected at Vienna towards the end of the month of May, this year. News lied been received at Odessa that the Turk ish Government is fortifying Constantinople. Above 10,000- men ate employed on these works, which are thrown up in great baste. The most contradictory accounts are circulated respecting the Greek and Turkish fleets. Some letters still continue to affirm that there has been a action, in which the Greeks were victors. Others assert that. nothing is vet decided; lastly, there are letters which pretend that the Turkish firer hes returned to the Archipelago. We expect, with impatience, the news from St. Petersburgh. It is supposed that the Mauitesto of Russia will soon aprar. The Austrian Government publishes absolutely nothing respecting the news of the East. Private letters say, that M. de Lutzow has not been treated of Lite be the Ministers of the Por,le with the res pea due to hint, us u representative of the Court of • Vienna, and for his pdranetel charassar. The German Diet will resume its sittings on the 1!::1: instant. It is still believed that an important communication will be made to that Assembly in the narne. of Austria, relative to the present situation of Tetley. The Sultan approved an those decisions, and gave Orders to the Grand Visier to cause his intention to be notified by the Reis Mitch to the foreign am bassadors, and to explain to them, at the same time, • the reasons which had induced the Porte to take such a resolution. It is nffirrosal . that besisies this, it was also resolved ' in this Divan, thatist4i4nf anew war with Chris. tender% a plan oftoi4imput in animation tibia Was already under coiiilderation during the war of the I'orte with Austria and Russia, in the reigns of Joseph and Catherine; but the execution of which was then hindered by the victory of Suwarrow and Prince Coburg. Seamier, MAltc 26.—Couriers have this morn , ing arrived at Belgriuleafrom Constantinople. The news from this last city are of the 20th of Morelia , . Every thing was in the greatest fermentation ; and an insurrection of the Janissaries had excited still greater consternation among the inhabitants. The Sultan, in consequence of the preparations for war which are continued with the greatest activity, hail also ordered a presi of senors, which was already carried into execution with great rigour, an livithout respect of persons. SomeflOrtas of the Janissaries who had been ordered for the sea service, have posia tively refused. Their threats and vociti:rations soon excited the fury of the other Ortas, and they pruecedod to acts of violence towards their officers. —The new-Aga of the Janissaries, lately appointed by the Sultan, was the fit* victim of their rages— His predecessor, who was discharged on account of the disorders which took place on the arrival of the head of Ali Paella, was unmediately reinstated in that important post. The-Janissuries, after having murdered their chief, dispersed about the streets of Constantinople, and gave loose, without restraint, to their hatred of the Christians: All they met in the streets, =of whatever nation, Were massacred. l'Conetantiauple is now as light at night as in the d.iy time, on account of the ti:es of the bivouact which fill the city and the environs, This great city resembles a vast camp, and the hope of making war on the accursed (Thetas (the Russians), and ofenriching themselves by pillage, excites in all the Mussulmen extraordinary joy and enthusiasm. Their religious seal, which has been rather less ve hement for some years past, has now resumed all its impetuosity, and the people ore more latiaticel than ever. The accounts from Epirus and Albania are fa vourable to the Grcekt. Chourschid Pucha is SO occupied with the Suliots and Albanians, that he has not .yet been able to think of exeeuting the orders of the Sultan, or of proceeding with his army to the Mores. All the men able to bear arms in the Pachalik of Joannina have resumed them, and endeavour by every means to prevent the carrying away of the treasures of Ali Pacha. On the frontiers of Basalt' the Turks have had vicleot quarrels with time chiefs of the Busniac tribes; and in the partial actions which have taken place the latter have always had the advantage. In Ser via, on the contrary, all is yet tranquil. Prince Miloseh ootalaets hints; If with great prudence; but it may be foreseen that this calla will not be of lettg duration. When hostilities break out between the Russians end Turks, there is little doubt that the Serviuns, 'who have been so long oppressed, will again take up aims, and'endeavour to tau advan= tage of this opportunity filially, to throw off the Ottoman yoke. Accounts from Odessa of the 9:11 of March say, that whatever has the remotest connexion with the Greeks, or with the struggle which is about to com mence, excites the liveliest interest in the public. VIENNA, APRIL G —We are still in the same un certainty respecting the affairs of Ttakey. The following are curious details of the grand sitting of the Divan, in which the question wis decided:— The question was to know whether the demands of Russia were admissible or not, after that power Lad declared that the unreserved acceptance of its demands would alone be satisfactory. The Sultan heard the deliberations in this important sitting, c ncenled behind the curtain of a window opening from . his Cabinet into the Council-room. All the great men and Viziers of the Porte then at Constan thiople were invited to attend; a similar invitatiol. was sent to the chiefs of the Janissaries and of the ilemas. It was reasonably inferred that the ques tion of peace or war was to be decided. (Here fol lows a list of many of the great officers of state, &c. wl:o were present.) The Mufti and the chiefs of the Ulemas having declared that several of the demands of the Vus covites were contrary to the principles of Ismalism, and to the dignity of religion, the Grand Vizier, us President of the Divan, proposed the following question:— " Is it just and conformable to the principles of the Holy loran to raise the standard of the great Prophet, and to call to arms the Nlussulmen of the East and of the Vest, when demands like these indi cated are addressed to the Prince of the Faithful?" On which the Mufti said, " Yes, it is just." These words were immediately repeated by ail the ijlemas. The following question was next proposed :—" Is it dust and wise to withdraw the Mt.ssulmen from the principalities of Moldavia and %Vslachia, while the Muscovites have assembled on the frontiers a nume rous corps, which they will not dissolve?" To which those present answered unanimously, "No; that would notte just, it would not be wise." The fidlowing questions were then discussed " Can the administration of the two frontkr pro vinces be intrusted in future, as it has hither to been, either to the perfidious and traitorous Greeks or to I3eyars?" The answer was uanimously. " No, ti.at is impossible.",.—" Can we restore to the rebel lious Rojas uil their churches and their privileges so long (IA they obstinately persist in their disobedience to the Sublime Porte?" " No, that cannot be."— -- , . ttr+ PRICE aid. posed to change its system. there would be a great catastrophe at Constantinople, of which the great men of the empire would be the victims. Bitosstas. APRIL 19.=1'he official Journal con tains the following article :—" We learn that on the 3d of this month an extraordinary courier set out from the Hague for Rome, and that his departure, and the faary , of his Excellency the Director General of the eMetiet the Catholic worship for Jamie weeks itt that tott)n, make it imagined ant) hoped that a Concordat will be shortly concluded between the two Courts ; the erection of several new Bishoprics in the kingdom is even spoken of." • Our accounts from the frontiers of France say, that the Marquis of Jumilhac continues to iuspect all the garrisons of the fortresses in his division. fie has every where found reason to praise the discipline and good spirit that distinguish the troops. We are informed that ends.saries have endeuvoured by cri minal to excite a fermentation among some regiments ; but they have completely failed. There never was strewn Such strict vigilance along the whole northern frontier with respect to stranger's who pass that way. Captain Masker, coming from Cette, on board the brig La Fidelite, was stopped on the North ScK by a pirate, who took away his water, his liquors, and the best part of the effects of the Captain and the pilot. Hameunatt, Arnie IL—The whole of the second Russian army is immediately going to assents ble in a great camp near the town of Winmeza, in Podolia. His Majesty the Emperor was expected hourly, relays of horses being already prepared at all the stations for his journey. Of the cops of General Sabaniefi; only one division and the Comes remain in Bessarebia , the other divisions of that liorps are to go to the great camp abovementioned. A considerable fleet is fitting out at Niceiajew. A courier passed the frontiers yesterday, with the news that a Congress is to be held at Warsaw." FROM TYE DANUBE, APRIL 3 —Letters from Rus e ia say that the first army assembled on the Pruth, and ready to take the rind, consists of two hundred and eighty thousand men, of which a large proportion is cavalry, and of dragoons alone 26,000. It is sa.d to have been shown by experience, tha this description of troops has always been eminently serviceable in the wars with the Turks. The salve letters state the pad: of artillery to consist of 5 , 10 pieces of cannon. At Kalugh, the great depot of arms for South Russia, immense quantities of mili tary stores of all kinds are collected. Moscow, MARCH 24.—According to a letter from Jassy, many more Greeks, ‘Valachians, davians, and other fugitives from Turkey, to the. number of seven thousand, who had hitherto re mained quietly at Bessarabia, had received orders to quit that country, and to repair farther into the in terior of Russia. From liestcnoff we learn, that great magazines are forming in Bossarabia.. The hopes of the eva cuation of the principalities by the Turkish tukys have wholly vanished. The heavy artillery has been brought back by the Janissaries, mid the mm. ber of troops, which was greatly diminished a few weeks ago, daily inercus , :s. Credible travellers re present those provinces, which only a year ago were so flourishing, us a frightful desert, and the cruelties exercised by the Turks on the unfortunate inhabi tants, us alkive all description.

Auesattagn, Arnn 11.—It is affirmed that, in an extraordinary Council of State held pt Vienna, to which the Russian Ambassador, Count Golowlia. and M. de Tutisehelf were invited, it was resolved that fresh attempts should b.) mtde at Constantinople, to know whether the Porte peSists in its resolution to reject the ultimatum of the Emperor Alexander. It is added, that these steps will be taken simal tancously in the name of all the Christiau Powers who have Ministers and I ipitnuatic agents accredited to the Porte. .
